We have a history of losses. From inception in September 1987 through the fiscal year ended December 31, 1992, and again for the years ended December 31, 1998 through the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, we incurred losses from operations. We operated profitably during each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 1993 through 1997. Profits for some of these years were marginal, and we cannot assure that our operations in the future will be profitable. Our industry suffers rapid technological changes. We do business in the wireless communications industry. This industry is characterized by rapidly developing technology. Changes in technology could affect the market for our products and necessitate additional improvements and developments to our products. We cannot predict that our research and development activities will lead to the successful introduction of new or improved products or that we will not encounter delays or problems in these areas. The cost of completing new technologies to satisfy minimum specification requirements and/or quality and delivery expectations may exceed original estimates that could adversely affect operating results during any financial period. Protection of product design may be insufficient to protect us against competitors. We attempt to protect our product designs by obtaining patents, when available, and by manufacturing our products in a manner that makes reverse engineering difficult. These protections may not be sufficient to prevent our competitors from developing products that perform in a manner that is similar to or better than our products. Competitors' success may result in decreased margins and sales of our products. Our limited financial resources could constrain our business expansion. We have limited financial resources available, which may restrict our ability to grow. Additional capital from sources other than our cash flow may be necessary to develop new products. We cannot predict that this financing will be available from any source. We could be adversely impacted by intense competition. The communications and antenna industries are highly competitive, and we compete with substantially larger companies. These competitors have larger sales forces and more highly developed marketing programs as well as larger administrative staffs and more available service personnel. The larger competitors also will have greater financial resources available to develop and market competitive products. The presence of these competitors could significantly affect any attempts to develop our business. However, we believe that we will have certain advantages in attempting to develop and market our products, including a more cost-effective technology, the ability to undertake smaller projects, and the ability to respond to customer requests more quickly than some larger competitors. We cannot be certain that these conclusions will prove correct. 4 We depend on the availability of efficient labor. We produce and assemble our antenna and coaxial cable kit products at our own facilities and are dependent on efficient workers for these functions. We cannot predict that efficient workers will continue to be available to us at a cost consistent with our budget. We depend on key employees. We are highly dependent on the services of our executive management, including Randall P. Marx, our Chief Executive Officer. The loss of the services of any of our executive management could have a material adverse effect on us. New government regulation could increase our costs. We are subject to government regulation of our business operations in general. Certain of our new products are subject to regulation by the Federal Communications Commission, or FCC, because they are designed to transmit signals. Because current regulations covering our operations are subject to change at any time, and despite our belief that we are in substantial compliance with government laws and regulations, we may incur significant costs for compliance in the future. There is an inactive trading of our shares and possible volatile prices. Historically, there has been an extremely limited public market for our shares, although most recently there has been significantly more volume. We cannot predict that the recent trading volume will be sustained. The prices of our shares are highly volatile. Due to the low price of the shares, many brokerage firms may not effect transactions and may not deal with low priced shares as it may not be economical for them to do so. This could have an adverse effect on sustaining the market for our shares. Further, we believe it is improbable that any investor will be able to borrow funds using our shares as collateral in a margin account. For the foreseeable future, trading in the shares, if any, will occur in the over-the-counter market and the shares will be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. On October 15, 2002, the low bid price for the common stock was $.09, the high asked price was $.10 and the closing sale price was $.10. Because of the matters described above, a holder of our shares may be unable to sell shares when he or she wishes to do so, if at all. No dividends with respect to our shares. We have not paid any cash dividends with respect to our shares, and it is unlikely that we will pay any dividends on our shares in the foreseeable future. We currently intend that any earnings that we may realize will be retained in the business for further development and expansion. PRICE RANGE OF COMMON STOCK Trading in our common stock is very limited. Our shares are traded in the over-the-counter market through the OTC Bulletin Board. Our trading symbol is "ARCS". Our shares are not quoted on any established stock exchange or on the Nasdaq Stock Market. Because trading in our shares is so limited, prices are highly volatile. 5 The table below represents the range of high and low sales prices for our common stock during each of the quarters in the past two fiscal years and for the quarters ended March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2002 as reported by the OTC Bulletin Board. Common Stock ------------ Closing Sale Price ------------------ Quarter Ended High Low ------------- ---- --- March 31, 2000 $3.594 $.130 June 30, 2000 1.469 .740 September 30, 2000 1.290 .750 December 31, 2000 .770 .202 March 31, 2001 .590 .220 June 30, 2001 .400 .190 September 30, 2001 .310 .170 December 31, 2001 .250 .140 March 31, 2002 .220 .160 June 30, 2002 .180 .120 September 30, 2002 .17 .09 On October 15, 2002, the closing sale price for our common stock was $.10 per share. Number Of Shareholders Of Record On June 19, 2002, we had 411 shareholders of record. DIVIDEND POLICY We have not declared or paid any cash dividends on our shares since our inception, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our shares in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain any future earnings to finance the expansion and continued development of our business. BUSINESS We provide high quality, timely, cost effective wireless network components and end-to-end wireless network solutions. Our Wireless Communications Products Division designs, develops, markets and sells a diversified line of antennas and related wireless communication systems, including conformal and phased array antennas. Our Winncom Technologies Corp. subsidiary specializes in marketing, distribution and service, as well as selected design, manufacturing and installation of wireless component and network solutions in support of both voice and data applications, primarily through third party distributors located in the United States. Our Starworks Wireless Inc. subsidiary specializes in the design, manufacturing, marketing, distribution and service of cable installation components in the United States, primarily through original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, and third-party distributors, retailers and the Internet. We were organized under the laws of the State of Utah on September 30, 1987 for the purpose of acquiring one or more businesses. Our prior name was Westflag Corporation, which was formerly Westcliff Corporation. In January 1989, we completed our initial public offering, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $363,000. In April 1989, we effected a one-for-four reverse split so that each four outstanding shares of common stock prior to the reverse split 6 became one share after the reverse split. Unless otherwise indicated, all references in this prospectus to the number of shares of our common stock have been adjusted for the effect of the 1989 one-for-four reverse split. On April 12, 1989, we merged with Antennas America, Inc., a Colorado corporation that had been formed in September 1988 and had developed an antenna design technique that would permit the building of flat (as compared to parabolic) antenna systems. Pursuant to the merger, Antennas America, Inc. was merged into us, all the issued and outstanding stock of Antennas America, Inc. was converted into 41,952,000 of our shares, and our name was changed to Antennas America, Inc. At the annual shareholders meeting held on October 11, 2000, our shareholders voted to change our name to ARC Wireless Solutions, Inc. ("ARC Wireless" or the "Company") from Antennas America, Inc. On May 24, 2000, we purchased, through our subsidiary, Winncom Technologies Corp. ("Winncom"), the outstanding shares of Winncom Technologies, Inc. Winncom specializes in marketing, distribution and service, as well as selected design, manufacturing and installation of wireless component and network solutions in support of both voice and data applications, primarily through third party distributors located in the United States. The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase, and accordingly, the operations for Winncom have been included in the Company's consolidated statement of operations from May 24, 2000 (the date of acquisition) forward. We paid $12.0 million in aggregate consideration, consisting of $3 million in cash, a $1.5 million non-interest bearing promissory note payable 90 days from the closing date, a $1.5 million non-interest bearing promissory note payable 180 days from the closing date and $6 million in shares of our restricted common stock (6,946,000 shares). The notes were paid in full by September 2000, with an $85,000 negotiated early payment reduction. On September 29, 2000, we purchased, through our subsidiary, Starworks Wireless Inc. ("Starworks"), the outstanding shares of Starworks Technology, Inc. (a/k/a The Kit Company). Starworks specializes in the design, manufacturing, marketing, distribution and service of direct-to-home satellite dish installation kits in the United States, primarily through original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and third-party distributors, retailers and the Internet. The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase. We paid $2.3 million in aggregate consideration in 2000, consisting of $0.8 million in cash and $1.5 million in shares of our restricted common stock (1,959,499 shares). As a result of a settlement agreement reached with the former shareholders of Starworks Technology, Inc. in December 2001, 1,459,499 shares of our common stock were returned to us and we received an option to purchase the remaining 500,000 shares of common stock at $.15 per share, which we exercised in January 2002. On August 21, 2001, we purchased certain commercial assets of the wireless communications product line from Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp. ("BATC"), a subsidiary of Ball Corporation, for $925,000. Subsequent to the purchase, a physical inventory was taken of the assets purchased and in accordance with the purchase agreement Ball was required to refund approximately $99,000 of the original purchase price as a result of there being less inventory than that listed in the purchase agreement. The assets purchased consisted primarily of raw materials inventory, finished goods inventory, production tooling equipment, testing equipment and an exclusive license agreement to use patents related to wireless communications for commercial purposes. Principal Products Of Our Wireless Communications Products Division Cellular Base Station Antennas Included in the acquisition of certain commercial assets from BATC last year was the right to use BATC's technology in the manufacturing of the line of base station antennas, which consist of various models used in several frequency bands for cellular systems. These cellular systems include several protocols and technologies such as AMPS, GSM, PCS, GPRS, 2.5G and 3G. Our base station 7 antennas are now being deployed in some of the AT&T Wireless, Cingular and Qwest mobile phone carrier networks. New base station models are now being designed to meet other carrier mobile 2.5G and 3G requirements and other companies' fixed wireless high-speed internet systems as well. Mobile Antennas Our mobile antennas are unique yet flexible antenna systems that are used to increase the antenna gain and product performance for a variety of wireless devices. Typically, the product can be connected to a cellular phone or can be installed either directly in or on a computer or other device. We market two primary mobile antenna designs, the ARC Freedom Antenna(TM) and the "F" antenna. The ARC Freedom Antenna(TM) is a unique broadband, patent pending antenna designed to work with cellular phones and other mobile wireless devices in a frequency range of 800 MHz to 3 GHz. The "F" Antenna is designed mainly to work with laptop computers in the 800 MHz to 900 MHz frequency range. The main design parameter of our mobile antennas is flexibility, creating an antenna that will function in several wireless applications or installations without requiring modification of the fundamental design of the antenna. We market the mobile antenna systems along with our existing commercial wireless products to existing and new OEM customers. Conformal Antennas A conformal antenna is one that is constructed so that it conforms technically and physically to its product environment. We first introduced and patented the disguised decal conformal antenna. This product, introduced in 1989 originally only for conventional automobile cellular phones, has been expanded as an alternative to many conventional wire type antenna and has been expanded to be used for numerous mobile applications, including domestic and international cellular and law enforcement frequencies, passive repeaters, vehicle tracking and GPS. The antenna is approximately 3 1/2"x 3 1/2"x 1/10" and typically installs on the inside of the vehicle so that it is not detectable from the outside of the vehicle. Several derivative products of this antenna design have been developed for OEM, and other special applications. We are using our experience in these applications for the developing antennas for the Bluetooth(TM) wireless technology, which is setting standards for short-range connectivity between computers and their accessories. Global Positioning System (GPS) Antennas We have developed a proprietary, flat GPS antenna system that integrates with a GPS receiver. GPS receivers communicate with a constellation of globe-orbiting satellites that will identify longitude and latitude coordinates of a location. These satellite systems have been used for years by the military, civilian and commercial boats, planes, for surveying, recreational hikers, and more recently in vehicle tracking and asset management. Accurate to within several feet, there are several types of GPS systems, some of which are the size of a cellular phone and are very easy to use. We are currently marketing our GPS antenna products on an OEM basis for the purposes of fleet management, asset management and vehicle tracking systems. We have also developed a proprietary, patented, amplified GPS/Cellular combination antenna that integrates with a GPS receiver. We currently are selling this product to fleet and asset management companies on a worldwide basis. Conventional GPS antenna systems are mounted on the exterior of a vehicle or other asset, however our product can be mounted on the interior of an automobile or truck, protecting the antenna from weather, theft and vandalism. 8 Flat Panel Antennas In 2001, we redesigned our legacy flat panel antenna designs to increase performance and reliability. Our flat panel antennas are flat antennas that typically incorporate a group of constituent antennas, all of which are equidistant from the center point. These types of antennas are used to receive and/or transmit data, voice and, in some cases, video from microwave transmitters or satellites. We have developed, patented and sold various versions of these antennas to private, commercial and governmental entities. Other Antennas We are pursuing new business opportunities for our conformal and phased array antennas by continuing to broaden and adapt existing technologies. We have designed and currently manufacture antennas varying in frequencies up to 6 GHz. These antennas use our newly developed antenna designs to provide inconspicuous installation. All of our antennas are designed to be manufactured using our proprietary design footprints. This allows us to better utilize our engineering, technical and production staff, as well as existing tools, dies and radomes for more than one product. Principal Products Of Our Winncom Subsidiary Unlicensed Wireless Products Unlicensed wireless products use frequencies that require a license to manufacture but not a license to use. Winncom's primary products are the ISM (Industrial Scientific and Medical) license free products in the 2.4 GHz to 5.8 GHz frequency range for both 802.11b and 802.11a standards. Any business or consumer may use these frequencies as long as they do not interfere with other users. Winncom currently markets products manufactured by Avaya, Agere Systems, Alvarion (Formerly Breezecom), Intel and Proxim, all of which are leaders in the unlicensed communications hardware market. These products are used in high-speed (up to 1G/bps) wireless networking applications, including, among others, internet access, local and wide area networks (LAN/WAN), and industrial process automation and data acquisition. Licensed Wireless Products Licensed wireless products require a Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") license to operate on a specific frequency in a geographic area. Winncom distributes point-to-point microwave products. These microwaves are used to connect Wireless Internet Service Providers cell sites or enterprise multiple locations. Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) VoIP allows voice communications to be placed over standard Internet networks. This is critical for emerging Wireless Internet Service Providers so they can offer complete voice and data service to generate revenue to compete with DSL and Cable Modem service. Winncom has signed an agreement with SoftJoys Labs for exclusive distribution of SoftJoys' voice-over-IP (VoIP) products. The SoftJoys' VoIP product line provides very economical features for corporate, service providers and individual customers. SoftJoys' Labs software combined with wireless environment delivers complete communication solutions for users of mobile devices such as PDAs, WEB PADs and Tablet PCs. 9 Antennas Winncom sells both customer premises and base station antenna solutions as well as a full range of antennas for point-to-point applications. Winncom offers panel, a variety of sectorized and omni directional (which include unique 13.5dbi horizontally polarized) and amplified CPE antennas for wireless Internet access.

Principal Products Of Our Starworks Subsidiary Home Satellite Dish Self-Installation Kits The direct -to- home satellite dish industry has since its inception been characterized as a consumer industry with a plug and play product. Starworks has provided pre-packaged components to the satellite industry. These kits can support all of the current satellite dish home products such as Hughes Network Systems, Sony, Philips Magnavox, DirecTV and The Dish Network. 10 Home Satellite Dish Professional Installation Kits To increase sales and customer satisfaction, the satellite programming industry currently offers professional installation with the purchase of a home satellite dish. Starworks is currently transforming its business to provide installers with components for satellite installation with the main marketing focus on cable related products such as cable jumpers and connectors. Marketing And Distribution The Wireless Communications Products Division markets its commercial line of antennas directly to distributors, installers and retailers of antenna accessories. Current distribution consists of several domestic and international distributors, including several hundred active retail dealers. The Wireless Communications Products Division also markets our diversified proprietary designs to our existing and potential customers in the commercial, government and retail market places. Potential customers are identified through trade advertising, phone contacts, trade shows, and field visits. The Company provides individual catalog and specification brochures describing existing products. The same brochures are utilized to demonstrate our capabilities to develop related products for OEM and other commercial customers. Our web site, www.arcwireless.net, includes information about our products and background as well as financial and other shareholder-oriented information. The web site, among other things, is designed to encourage both existing and potential customers to view us as a potential source for diversified antenna solutions. Inquiries through the web site are pursued by our in-house and outside sales personnel. To help customers get answers quickly about our products, we have established a toll-free telephone number administered by our customer service personnel from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. MT. All of our antenna products are currently made in the United States, which we consider to be a marketing advantage over most of our competitors. Many of our products are also marketed internationally. We currently have numerous international distributors marketing our products in several countries. Winncom is a value added distributor that supports distribution of products with internal sales, technical support, system design and feasibility studies, installation and training. Winncom's customer base comprises networking value added resellers ("VARs"), system integrators, ISPs, competitive local exchange carriers (CLECs) and incumbent local exchange carriers (ILECs). Winncom promotes and supports the one-stop-source philosophy for wireless data networking products and services. Consistent with our one-stop-source approach, Winncom markets and sells a number of its own products as well as private label products that fit into our marketing philosophy. We believe we have an advantage over the competition due to better product availability, in-house technical expertise and customer support and can assist with the implementation of most wireless network projects or applications. Winncom continuously expends marketing and advertising efforts through print media, trade shows and via the Internet. The main marketing focus is to expand the reseller base of customers, which are active in medical, healthcare, enterprise, government, education and industrial market segments. Winncom is also expanding its marketing efforts to sell service providers and O.E.M. markets. Additionally, Winncom continually expands its wireless certification training programs, including vendor-authorized certification for Value Added Resellers "VARs". Winncom provides wireless awareness seminars for system integrators and consultant/design firms. We also have alliances with our vendors that include road shows, authorization/certification programs, trade shows and advertising. Winncom's web site has complete E-commerce capability, enabling customers to order and pay for products online. 11 Production The Wireless Communications Products Division currently produces most of the customized items that we use to manufacture our products excluding cable, connectors and other generic components. We believe that this control over the production process allows us to be more efficient and more responsive to customers, lowers the overall cost of production, and allows us to take advantage of more opportunities in the wireless communications market. Winncom offers a wide variety of high performance wireless system accessories including antennas, amplifiers, lightning arrestors, custom cable assemblies and environmental enclosures, as well as wireless access points, bridges, routers, client adapters, modems, T1/E1, and licensed microwave systems from leading manufacturers. Starworks produces all cable assemblies and installation kits internally. External purchases include bulk cable, coaxial connectors, and packaging materials. Research And Development Research and development (R&D) costs are charged to operations when incurred and are included in operating expenses. Except for salaries of engineering personnel involved in R&D, our R&D costs have not been material in 2001 and 2000. We spent approximately $205,000 and $198,000 on R&D in 2001 and 2000, respectively. Our R&D personnel develop products to meet specific customer, industry and market needs that we believe compete effectively against products distributed by other companies. Quality assurance programs are implemented into each development and manufacturing project, and we enforce strict quality requirements on components received from other manufacturing facilities. Employees At December 31, 2001, the Company had 92 full time employees including 47 in manufacturing and distribution, 12 in sales and customer support, 7 in engineering and product development, and 26 in management and administration. Our employees are not represented by any collective bargaining agreement and we have never experienced a work slowdown or strike. Competition The market for wireless network components is highly competitive, and our current and proposed products compete with products of larger companies that are better financed, have established markets, and maintain larger sales organizations and production capabilities. In marketing our products, we have encountered competition from other companies, both domestic and international. At the present time, our market share of the overall wireless network component market is small. Our products are designed to be unique and in some cases are patented. Our products normally compete with other products principally in the areas of price and performance. However, we believe that our products work as well as or better than competing products and usually sell for the same price or less. Additionally, we have demonstrated to our customers and potential customers that we are a more reliable source than some competitors and believe this is a distinct competitive advantage. Government Regulations We are subject to government regulation of our business operations in general, and the telecommunications industry also is subject to regulation by federal, state and local regulatory and governmental agencies. Under current 12 laws and the regulations administered by the FCC, there are no federal requirements for licensing antennas that only receive (and do not transmit) signals. We believe that our antennas that are also used to transmit signals are in compliance with current laws and regulations. Current laws and regulations are subject to change and our operations may become subject to additional regulation by governmental authorities. We can be significantly impacted by a change in either statutes or rules. Patents The Company currently holds nine U.S. patents, which will remain valid until their individual specific expiration dates. Kevin O. Shoemaker, our former Chief Scientist, is the inventor of a patent valid through the year 2008, for micro strip antennas and multiple radiator array antennas. Mr. Shoemaker also is the inventor of a patent for a serpentine planar broadband antenna that expires in 2012.

We have also filed a provisional patent with Mr. Lovestead and Dr. Huebner as the inventors of the technology that we are using for our new ARC Freedom Antenna(TM). The former President of our subsidiary Starworks Wireless Inc., David E. McConnell, is the inventor of a patent for a Coaxial Cable Connector, which will expire in 2017, all rights to which are owned by the Company as a result of the acquisition of Starworks Technology, Inc. on September 29, 2000. 13 We seek to protect our proprietary products, information and technology through reliance on confidentiality provisions, and, when practical, the application of patent, trademark and copyright laws. We cannot assure that these applications will result in the issuance of patents, trademarks or copyrights of our products, information or technology. Properties Our principal offices are located in Wheat Ridge, Colorado. We lease approximately 5,000 square feet of office space and 28,000 square feet of production space in Wheat Ridge, Colorado where we have our corporate offices and where we manufacture antennas. These leases expire on various dates from 2002 through 2003. In addition, we lease approximately 24,000 square feet of office and warehouse space at our Winncom facility in Solon, Ohio, where we sell and distribute component solutions for LAN/WAN communications systems. This lease expires in December 2005. We also leased approximately 21,000 square feet of office and production space at our Starworks facility in Atlanta, Georgia where we assembled and distributed self-installation kits for satellite dish systems. This lease expired in June 2002 and was not renewed. The Company believes that its current facility in Wheat Ridge, Colorado may not be adequate to meet its needs over the next several years and is exploring other alternatives. We anticipate that we would encounter little difficulty in locating alternative facilities to meet our planned growth in the next few years. Legal Proceedings ARC Wireless acquired Starworks in September 2000 from David and Karen McConnell for $1.5 million in cash and 1,959,499 shares of the Company's restricted stock. In January 2001 in the Federal District Court in the Northern District of Georgia, the Company commenced litigation against Mr. and Mrs. McConnell and other parties claiming either for the transaction to be reversed or for the McConnell's to pay damages for their alleged misrepresentations regarding the sale of Starworks to us. The McConnell's also filed suit against the Company claiming damages from the Company for alleged misrepresentations by the Company. In November 2001, a settlement agreement was reached between the Company and the McConnell's whereby 1,459,499 shares of the Company's common stock paid to the McConnell's as part of the consideration was returned to the Company and the Company received an option to purchase the remaining 500,000 shares of common stock at $.15 per share. The Company exercised its option in January 2002 and purchased the remaining shares for $75,000. As a result of the 1,459,499 shares being returned to the Company, goodwill has been reduced by approximately $1.1 million. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Financial Condition The net cash used in operating activities decreased from $1,537,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 to $520,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 primarily due to an increase in income from operations in 2002 of $502,000 as compared to a loss from operations in 2001 of $792,000. The increase in inventory in 2002 was largely attributable to increases in Winncom's inventory from $3.9 million at December 31, 2001 to $4.6 million at June 30, 2002. Accounts receivable have increased due to increases in receivables from vendors 14 for special pricing discount and other purchase discounts, which typically are outstanding for 90 to 105 days. There was only a slight decrease in accounts payable in 2002 which was primarily due to improved efforts to increase inventory turns and the depletion of the BATC inventory purchased in August 2001 whose purchase was financed by a bank line of credit rather than trade accounts payable. The net cash used in investing activities of $76,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and $69,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 is primarily the result of increases in patents and purchases of equipment. The net cash provided by financing activities of $359,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 is primarily the result of increases in net borrowings under lines of credit of $319,000 and net proceeds from a private placement of $121,000, offset by the purchase of treasury stock in the amount of $75,000 in connection with the McConnell litigation settlement. For the six months ended June 30, 2001 the net cash provided by financing activities of $1,343,000 is primarily the result of increases in net borrowings under lines of credit of $484,000 and net proceeds from a private placement of $862,000. The Company's working capital at June 30, 2002 was $3.7 million compared to $5.6 million at December 31, 2001. The decrease is the result of the classification of the bank line of credit in the amount of $2.9 million from long-term debt to current liabilities as it is due April 2003. Excluding this reclassification, working capital would have improved to $6.6 million as compared to $5.6 million at December 31, 2001. In conjunction with the acquisition of Winncom on May 24, 2000, the Company assumed a $1,500,000 revolving line of credit from a bank bearing an interest rate of prime plus 0.5% (5.5% at December 31, 2001 and at June 30, 2002). The line is collateralized by accounts receivable, inventory and otherwise unencumbered fixed assets of Winncom. The credit line provides that Winncom is prohibited from guaranteeing any obligations of, or paying or advancing any distribution or other amount to ARC Wireless Solutions, Inc. or any of its subsidiaries. ARC is a general guarantor of this loan. On November 27, 2000 the line was increased to $3,000,000, of which $2,621,000 was outstanding at December 31, 2001, and $2,865,000 was outstanding at June 30, 2002. This agreement expires in April 2003, at which time all borrowings are due in full in the event the line is not renewed. In connection with the acquisition of the BATC Assets in August 2001, Winncom established a new line of credit in the amount of $1 million bearing an interest rate of prime plus 0.5% (5.5% at December 31, 2001 and at June 30, 2002). This line is also collateralized by accounts receivable, inventory and otherwise unencumbered fixed assets of Winncom. ARC is a general corporate guarantor of this loan. As of December 31, 2001 and June 30, 2002, $925,000 and $1,000,000, respectively, were outstanding under this line of credit. This balance due under this letter of credit was due July 31, 2002. The Company is currently negotiating with the bank to convert this line of credit, currently due, to a long-term credit facility. In conjunction with the acquisition of Starworks Technology, Inc. on September 29, 2000, the Company assumed a $1.5 million revolving bank loan, which was secured by accounts receivable and restricted cash maintained in a non-collection reserve account. The Company ceased assigning Starworks' accounts receivable to the bank in February 2001. There is no balance outstanding under the revolving bank loan at June 30, 2002 or December 31, 2001. The Company has recently been approved for a $500,000 lease line of credit. Under this agreement $229,000 of capital assets acquired from BATC in August 2001 will be subject to a sale leaseback in which the Company will receive proceeds of approximately $229,000. The remaining open balance on the lease line will be used to finance capital expenditures budgeted for the remainder of 2002. 15 The Company closed the operations of Starworks in the Atlanta location on July 12, 2002. The expected closure costs were accrued as of December 31, 2001. With the closure of Starworks in Atlanta the Company expects to reduce monthly operating costs by approximately $16,000 to $20,000. Management believes that current working capital, available borrowings on existing bank lines of credit, proceeds from the sale and leaseback and from available borrowings on the new lease line of credit, the renegotiation of the $1 million line of credit that was due July 31, 2002, together with additional equity infusions that management believes will be available, will be sufficient to allow the Company to maintain its operations through December 31, 2002 and into the foreseeable future. Results Of Operations Three Months Ended June 30, 2002 Compared To Three Months Ended June 30, 2001 Sales were approximately $8 million for both the three-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001. Revenues from the Wireless Communications Products Division, increased from $739,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 to $1,782,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2002, primarily from revenues from base station antennas which were $730,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 and $0 for the quarter ended June 30, 2001. The increase in the Wireless Communications Products Division revenues were offset by a decrease in Starworks revenues from $429,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 to $91,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 and a decrease in Winncom revenues from $6.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 to $6.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2002. Gross profit margins were 20.1% and 19.8% for the three-months ended June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2001, respectively. The slight increase in gross margin for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 vs. the quarter ended June 30, 2001 is primarily the result of the increase in revenues from the Wireless Communications Products Division, whose products have a higher margin than those of Winncom or Starworks. As a result of product mix Winncom's profit margins decreased from 17.8% for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 to 13.1% for the quarter ended June 30, 2002. When the Company purchased certain commercial assets of the wireless communications products line of BATC, which consisted of raw materials and finished goods inventory among other assets, these assets were purchased at a substantial discount from their fair market or replacement value. During the quarter ended June 30, 2002, the Wireless Communications Products Division benefited from the sale of portions of the inventory purchased from BATC, and this benefit is reflected in higher gross margins. Depending on the product mix, the Company may realize additional benefit from the below-market cost of the BATC inventory in the future, but the benefit will diminish as the inventory is depleted and replaced with inventory purchased at current market prices. Based on the Company's estimates of current replacement costs for the BATC inventory included in cost of goods sold during the second quarter, the Company estimates that the benefit resulting from inventory purchased at below-market costs was between $50,000 and $100,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2002. Because the BATC inventory was not purchased until August 21, 2001, no such benefit was recognized for the quarter ended June 30, 2001. Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) increased slightly by $76,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2001. This increase in SG&A is primarily the result of the addition of management and staff as a result of the acquisition of certain commercial assets from BATC. SG&A as a percent of revenue increased from 17.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2001 to 18.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2002. 16 In accordance with SFAS No. 142, the Company discontinued the amortization of goodwill effective January 1, 2002. Consequently, there was no amortization of purchased intangibles for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 as compared to $248,000 in amortization of purchased intangibles for the quarter ended June 30, 2001. (See Note 7 on page F-8) Net interest expense was $53,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and $59,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001. The average balance outstanding on the lines of credit was higher by $1.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2001 but the interest rate was 5.25% for 2002 as compared to 9% for 2001. The line of credit balance was increased by $925,000 in September 2001 as the proceeds were used to finance the BATC assets acquisition. Included in other income for the three months ended June 30, 2002 is a gain from debt settlements of $48,000. There was no gain from debt settlements for the quarter ended June 30, 2001. The Company had net income for the three months ended June 30, 2002 of $141,000 compared to a net loss of $84,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 primarily due to three factors, 1) an increase in gross margin percent from 19.8% for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 to 20.1% for the quarter ended June 30, 2002, which resulted partially from the use of inventory at below-market cost and partially from increased sales of higher margin products, 2) the termination of amortization of goodwill effective January 1, 2002 which was $248,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 and $0 for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 and 3) the gain from debt settlements of $48,000 recorded for the quarter ended June 30, 2002. Six Months Ended June 30, 2002 Compared To Six Months Ended June 30, 2001 Sales were $15,957,000 and $16,067,000 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The slight decrease, less than 1%, in revenues comparing the six months ended June 30, 2002 to the six months ended June 30, 2001 is attributable to a decrease in Starworks revenues from $841,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 to $284,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and a decrease in Winncom revenues from approximately $14 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 to approximately $12 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002, which decreases were substantially offset by the increase in revenues from the Wireless Communications Products Division, primarily revenues from base station antennas which were $2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2001. Gross profit margins were 21.3% and 18.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2001, respectively. The increase in gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2002 vs. the six months ended June 30, 2001 is primarily the result of the increase in revenues from the Wireless Communications Products Division, whose products have a higher margin than those of Winncom or Starworks. When the Company purchased certain commercial assets of the wireless communications products line of BATC, which consisted of raw materials and finished goods inventory among other assets, these assets were purchased at a substantial discount from their fair market or replacement value. During the six months ended June 30, 2002, the Wireless Communications Products Division benefited from the sale of portions of the inventory purchased from BATC and this benefit is reflected in higher gross margins. Depending on the product mix, the Company may realize additional benefit from the below-market cost of the BATC inventory in the future, but the benefit will diminish as the inventory is depleted and replaced with inventory purchased at current market prices. Based on the Company's estimates of current replacement costs for the BATC inventory included in cost of goods sold for the six months ended June 30, 2002, the Company estimates that the benefit resulting from inventory purchased at 17 below-market costs was between $200,000 and $300,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002. Because the BATC inventory was not purchased until August 21, 2001, no such benefit was recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2001. Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) decreased by $283,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2001. In addition, SG&A as a percent of revenue decreased from 19.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2001 to 18.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The decrease in SG&A comparing 2002 to 2001 is primarily due to legal fees in connection with the Starworks' litigation and certain employee termination costs, which were incurred in 2001 but not in 2002. During the six months ended June 30, 2001, termination agreements were entered into with the former CEO of the Company and the former CFO of the Company. The former CEO received $63,000 of severance payments plus options to purchase 250,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $0.325 per share and the former CFO received $47,000 of severance payments plus options to purchase 350,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $0.26 per share. The Company recognized $232,000 of expense related to these termination agreements during the six months ended June 2001, including $122,000 of non-cash compensation related to the issuance of the options. This expense was partially offset by the elimination of $96,000 of accrued bonuses as part of the severance agreements. In addition, the six months ended June 30, 2001 included $283,000 in expenses related to impairment of assets, adjustments, litigation and other costs of the Kit Company acquisition. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, the Company discontinued the amortization of goodwill effective January 1, 2002. Consequently, there was no amortization of purchased intangibles for the six months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to $498,000 in amortization of purchased intangibles for the six months ended June 30, 2001. (See Note 7 on page F-8) Net interest expense was $101,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to $107,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The average balance outstanding on the lines of credit was higher by $1.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2001 but the interest rate was 5.25% for 2002 as compared to 9% for 2001. The line of credit balance was increased by $925,000 in September 2001 as the proceeds were used to finance the BATC assets acquisition. Included in other income for the six months ended June 30, 2002 is a gain from debt settlements of $226,000. There was no gain from debt settlements for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The Company had net income for the six months ended June 30, 2002 of $605,000 compared to a net loss of $873,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 primarily due to four factors, 1) an increase in gross margin percent from 18% for the six months ended June 30, 2001 to 21.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2002, which resulted partially from the use of inventory at below-market cost and partially from increased sales of higher margin products, 2) a reduction in SG&A expenses relative to revenues from 19.8% in 2001 to 18.2% in 2002, 3) the termination of amortization of goodwill effective January 1, 2002 which was $498,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 4) gain from debt settlements of $226,000 recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2002. Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2001 Compared To Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2000 The results of operations of the Company include the results of Winncom and Kit for all of 2001 being reported on, whereas the results of operations of the Company for 2000 include the results of Winncom for the period May 24, 2000 (date of acquisition) to December 31, 2000 only and the results of operations of Starworks from September 29, 2000 (date of acquisition) to December 31, 2000. 18 Sales were $30.9 million and $18.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The primary reason for the increase in revenues comparing 2001 to 2000 is attributable to 1) the inclusion of the results of operations of Winncom and Starworks for all of 2001 compared to only part of the year for 2000, as noted in the previous paragraph, 2) Winncom's revenues were $15.3 million in 2000 compared to $25.9 million on 2001 and Starworks revenues were $.6 million in 2000 compared to $1.2 million in 2001, 3) an increase in revenues from the Wireless Communications Products Division from $2.6 million in 2000 to $3.9 million in 2001. The average monthly sales for Winncom were $2.16 million on both 2001 and 2000. The average monthly sales for Starworks decreased from $200,000 in 2000 to $100,000 in 2001 primarily due to the increase in free professional installation of satellite dishes from DirecTV and Dish Network in the second half of 2001. Sales for the Wireless Communications Products Division increased by 50% primarily due to the addition of the base station antennas as a result of the purchase of the wireless communications product line from BATC in August 2001 and the increase in sales of the Company's redesigned panel antenna systems. Sales of base station antennas were $1.5 million in 2001. Gross profit margins were 19.6% in 2001 and 15.4 % in 2000. The increase in gross margin for 2001 vs. 2000 is primarily the result of the increase in revenues from the Wireless Communications Products Division. Winncom's profit margin increased slightly from 16% in 2000 to 17% in 2001. Winncom represented approximately 83 % of consolidated sales in 2001 and 2000. Starworks sales represent only 4% of consolidated sales so their impact on the overall margin was minimal in 2001 and 2000. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased by $2.2 million or 52% from 2000 to 2001. SG&A as a % of revenues decreased to 20.7% in 2001 compared to 22.8% in 2000. Even though SG&A decreased as a percentage of revenues comparing 2001 to 2000 there were some expenditures in 2001 that resulted in a higher than expected SG&A. Included in SG&A in 2001 are $497,000 in legal and other professional fees associated with the McConnell litigation that was not settled until November 2001. Also during the quarter ended March 31, 2001, termination agreements were entered into with the former CEO and CFO of the Company. The former CEO received $63,000 of severance payments plus options to purchase 250,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $0.325 per share. The former CFO received $47,000 of severance payments plus options to purchase 350,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $0.26 per share. The Company also recognized $136,000 of expense related to these termination agreements during the quarter ended March 2001, including $122,000 of non-cash compensation related to the issuance of the options. In December 2001, the Company recorded a goodwill write-down of $1,257,000, which eliminated the remaining goodwill associated with the acquisition of Starworks in 2000. Goodwill was determined to be impaired because of the uncertainty of the current financial and operating condition of Starworks and the possibility that Starworks may be unable to generate future operating income in its legacy business without the transformation of Starworks into a conventional cable business. The goodwill write-down is included as a component of operating expenses for 2001. Amortization of purchased intangibles represents the amortization of goodwill and other specifically identifiable intangible assets recorded as part of the acquisition of Winncom and Starworks in 2000. The 2001 amount represents a full year of amortization of these intangibles whereas 2000 represents only a partial year amortization. 19 The loss from operations was $2.6 million in 2001 and $1.9 million in 2000. If you exclude from the loss from operation in 2001 the goodwill impairment write-down and the amortization of intangibles, both non-cash expenses, the result would be an adjusted loss from operations of $334,000. The same exclusion in 2000 would result in an adjusted loss from operations of $1.4 million. The significant improvement of this adjusted loss from operations between 2001 and 2000 is the result of higher sales at greater margins and a reduction of other operating expenses as a % of revenue. Net interest expense was $241,000 in 2001 and $98,000 in 2000. The increase in interest expense of $143,000 from 2000 to 2001 is due to the fact that the results of operations for 2000 include Winncom's results of operations since the date of acquisition, which was May 24, 2000. Winncom's average line of credit balance outstanding was $1,028,000 in 2000 and $2,525,000 in 2001. The line of credit balance was increased by $925,000 in September 2001 as the proceeds were used to finance the BATC assets acquisition (see Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements on page F-32). In addition, the average interest rate on bank borrowings was 7.8% in 2001 and 9.6% in 2000. The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2001 was $2.8 million compared to $1.8 million for 2000. The primary reason for the increase in the net loss from 2000 to 2001 was the non-cash goodwill impairment write-down of approximately $1.3 million in 2001 and an increase in amortization of purchased intangibles from $500,000 in 2000 to $1 million in 2001. Critical Accounting Policies Management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We review the accounting policies we use in reporting our financial results on a regular basis. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to accounts receivable, inventories, intangible assets, income taxes and warranty obligations. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Results may differ from these estimates due to actual outcomes being different from those on which we based our assumptions. These estimates and judgments are reviewed by management on an ongoing basis, and by the Audit Committee at the end of each quarter prior to the public release of our financial results. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 "Business Combinations" ("SFAS 141") and No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142"). SFAS 141 requires all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 to be accounted for under the purchase method. For all business combinations for which the date of acquisition is after June 30, 2001, SFAS 141 also establishes specific criteria for the recognition of intangible assets separately from goodwill and requires unallocated negative goodwill to be written off immediately as an extraordinary gain, rather than deferred and amortized. SFAS 142 changes the accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets after an acquisition. The most significant changes made by SFAS 142 are: 1) goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives will no longer be amortized; 2) goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives must be tested for impairment at 20 least annually; and 3) the amortization period for intangible assets with finite lives will no longer be limited to forty years. SFAS 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, with early application permitted in certain circumstances. The Company believes that the adoption of SFAS 142 will have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows. At this time, the Company estimates that the effect of the adoption of Statement SFAS 142 will reduce operating expenses by approximately $836,000 as a result of reducing amortization of purchased intangibles. The adoption of Statement SFAS 141 is not expected to have any impact on the Company's financial position or cash flows. In June 2001, the FASB also approved for issuance SFAS 143 "Asset Retirement Obligations"("SFAS"). SFAS 143 establishes accounting requirements for retirement obligations associated with tangible long-lived assets, including (1) the timing of the liability recognition, (2) initial measurement of the liability, (3) allocation of asset retirement cost to expense, (4) subsequent measurement of the liability and (5) financial statement disclosures. SFAS 143 requires that an asset retirement cost should be capitalized as part of the cost of the related long-lived asset and subsequently allocated to expense using a systematic and rational method. The Company will adopt the statement effective no later than January 1, 2003, as required. The transition adjustment resulting from the adoption of SFAS 143 will be reported as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. The Company does not believe that the adoption of this statement will have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In October 2001, the FASB also approved SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets ("SFAS 144"). SFAS 144 replaces SFAS 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of. The new accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale applies to all long-lived assets, including discontinued operations, and replaces the provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, Reporting Results of Operations-Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, for the disposal of segments of a business. SFAS 144 requires that those long-lived assets be measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell, whether reported in continuing operations or in discontinued operations. Therefore, discontinued operations will no longer be measured at net realizable value or include amounts for operating losses that have not yet occurred. SFAS 144 also broadens the reporting of discontinued operations to include all components of an entity with operations that can be distinguished from the rest of the entity and that will be eliminated from the ongoing operations of the entity in a disposal transaction. The provisions of SFAS 144 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 and, generally, are to be applied prospectively. The Company does not believe that the adoption of this statement will have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections," effective for fiscal years beginning May 15, 2002 or later that rescinds FASB Statement No. 4, "Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt", FASB Statement No. 64, "Extinguishments of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements", and FASB Statement No. 44, "Accounting for Intangible Assets of Motor Carriers". This Statement Amends FASB Statement No. 4 and FASB Statement No. 13, "Accounting for Leases", to eliminate an inconsistency between the required accounting for sale-leaseback transactions. This Statement also amends other existing authoritative pronouncements to make various technical corrections, clarify meanings, or describe their applicability under changed conditions. The Company does not expect the implementation of SFAS No. 145 to have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations. In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities". SFAS 146 requires recording costs associated with exit or disposal activities at their fair values when a 21 liability has been incurred. Under previous guidance, certain exit costs were accrued upon management's commitment to an exit plan, which is generally before an actual liability has been incurred. Adoption of SFAS 146 is required with the beginning of fiscal year 2003. The Company does not anticipate a significant impact on its results of operations from adopting this Statement.

Pursuant to the Plan, we may grant options to purchase an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of our common stock to key employees, directors, and other persons who have or are contributing to our success. The options granted pursuant to the Plan may be incentive options qualifying for beneficial tax treatment for the recipient or they may be non-qualified options. The Plan is administered by an option committee that determines the terms of the options subject to the requirements of the Plan, except that the option committee shall not administer the Plan with respect to automatic grants of options to our directors who are not our employees. The option committee may be the entire Board or a committee of the Board. Through May 24, 2000, directors who were not also our employees ("Outside Directors") automatically received options to purchase 250,000 shares pursuant to the Plan at the time of their election as an Outside Director. These options held by Outside Directors were not exercisable at the time of grant. Options to purchase 50,000 shares became exercisable for each meeting of the Board of Directors attended by each Outside Director on or after the date of grant of the options to that Outside Director, but in no event earlier than six months following the date of grant. The exercise price for options granted to Outside Directors was equal to the closing price per share of our common stock on the date of grant. All options granted to Outside Directors expired five years after the date of grant. On the date that all of an Outside Director's options became exercisable, options to purchase an additional 250,000 shares, which were exercisable no earlier than six months from the date of grant, were automatically granted to that Outside Director. On May 24, 2000, the Board of Directors voted to (1) decrease the amount of options automatically granted to Outside Directors from 250,000 to 25,000 options, and (2) decrease the amount of exercisable options from 50,000 to 5,000 per meeting. The term of the outside Director option granted in the future was lowered from five years to two years. The other terms of the Outside Director options did not change. On July 5, 2002, the Board of Directors voted to (1) increase the amount of options automatically granted to Outside Directors from 25,000 to 125,000 options, and (2) increase the amount of exercisable options from 5,000 to 25,000 per meeting. The other terms of the Outside Director options did not change. The Company granted a total of 275,000 options to Outside Directors under the Plan during 2000, at exercise prices from $0.89 to $1.01 per share, and 25,000 options to outside directors under the Plan during 2001 at an exercise price of $.35 per share. As of June 30, 2002, there were 635,000 exercisable options outstanding related to the grants to Outside Directors. Mr. Donald Huebner's employment terminated on January 31, 2002 and as such all of his options are disclosed as Outside Directors options. In addition to Outside Directors grants, the Board of Directors may grant incentive options to our key employees pursuant to the Plan. In 2001, the Board granted a total of 1,560,000 options under the Plan to employees at prices ranging form $.21 to $.58. In 2000, the Board granted a total of 11,870,000 options to employees, of which 2,001,000 were granted under the Plan, at prices from $0.63 to $1.7187, and the Board granted 600,000 options to employees under the Plan in 1999, at $0.06 per share. Subsequent to December 31, 2000, the Company canceled a total of 9,900,000 options that were granted in 2000, 26 including 676,000 granted under the Plan, and replaced them with 600,000 new options outside of the Plan at a price equal to the closing price per share on the dates of their respective departures, in conjunction with the contract eliminations of the former CEO and CFO (see below "Employment Contracts And Termination of Employment And Change-in-Control Arrangements" and the "Subsequent Events" footnote to the financial statements). As of June 30, 2002, there were, 1,610,000 exercisable options outstanding related to grants to employees, all of which were granted under the Plan. In connection with his separation from the Company, Glenn A. Befort was granted options to purchase 250,000 shares for $0.325 per share until February 21, 2004. See below, "Employment Contracts And Termination Of Employment And Change-In-Control Arrangements". As of June 30, 2002, there were 2,840,555 options to purchase shares of common stock outstanding under the Plan and 635,084 shares or options to purchase shares of common stock were available to be granted under the Plan. Compensation Of Outside Directors Standard Arrangements. Outside Directors are paid $250 for each meeting of the Board of Directors that they attend. For meetings in excess of four meetings per year, Outside Directors receive $50 per meeting. Pursuant to the terms of the 1997 Stock Option and Compensation Plan, Outside Directors may elect to receive payment of the meeting fee in the form of our restricted common stock at a rate per share equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the date of the meeting by informing our Secretary, Chief Executive Officer or President of that election on or before the date of the meeting. Directors are also reimbursed for expenses incurred in attending meetings and for other expenses incurred on our behalf. In addition, each Outside Director receives options to purchase shares of common stock (for details see the "1997 Stock Option And Compensation Plan" section above). Outside Directors vested 325,000 stock options during fiscal year ended December 31, 2000, and earned $3,400 in meeting attendance fees. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, Outside Directors vested 65,000 stock options and earned $2,250 in meeting attendance fees. Other Arrangements. During each of the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, no compensation was paid to our Outside Directors other than pursuant to the standard compensation arrangements described in the previous section.

We had 153,552,274 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2002, which were held by 411 shareholders of record. Each share is entitled to share equally with each other shares in dividends from sources legally available therefore, when, as, and if declared by the Board Of Directors and, upon our liquidation or dissolution, whether voluntary or involuntary, to share equally in our assets that are available for distribution to the holders of shares of our common stock. Each holder of shares of our common stock is entitled to one vote per share for all purposes, except that in the election of directors, each holder shall have the right to vote such number of shares for as many persons as there are directors to be elected. Cumulative voting shall not be allowed in the election of directors or for any other purpose, and the holders of our shares have no preemptive rights, redemption rights or rights of conversion with respect to our shares. All outstanding shares issued will be fully paid and nonassessable by us. The Board Of Directors is authorized to issue additional shares within the limits authorized by our Articles Of Incorporation and without shareholder action. All shares have equal voting rights and voting rights are not cumulative. The holders of more than 50 percent of our shares could, therefore, if they chose to do so, elect all our directors. Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, our assets, after satisfaction of all liabilities, will be distributed pro rata to the holders of the shares. We have not paid any cash dividends since our inception. We have reserved a sufficient number of shares for issuance upon the exercise of options under our Plan. Warrants And Options In October 2000, we completed the sale of 15,000,000 units of common stock and warrants to purchase common stock pursuant to a private placement at a price of $.50 per unit. The units were sold to a total of 21 investors who were all accredited investors pursuant to one or more exemptions from registration in accordance with Rules 505 and/or 506 and/or Sections 3(b) and/or 4(2) of the Securities Act. Each unit consisted of one share of common stock and one immediately exercisable warrant to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share of common stock. The warrants expire the earlier to occur of (i) one year after the date that a registration statement concerning the transfer of the shares of common stock included in the units and the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is declared effective by the Securities And Exchange Commission, and (ii) five years after the issuance of the warrants. We were obligated to file the registration statement within 10 business days after filing our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2001 with the SEC. At any time that the registration statement is effective, we may, upon 30-days' notice to the holders of the warrants, repurchase the warrants for $.01 per warrant at any time after the weighted average trading price for the common stock has been at least $1.75 for 20 of the 30 consecutive business days preceding the date of the notice of 32 repurchase. We received gross cash proceeds of $7.4 million and related offering expenses were $14,000. There were no fees or commissions paid to brokers or underwriters or placement agents in conjunction with this placement. In August 2001, we completed the sale of 5,000,000 shares of common stock pursuant to a private placement at a price of $.20 per share. The shares were sold to a total of nine investors who were all accredited investors pursuant to one or more exemptions from registration in accordance with Rules 505 and/or 506 and/or Sections 3(b) and/or 4(2) of the Securities Act. In July 2001, the Company offered each Unit Investor the opportunity to either (1) exchange each three Warrants for one share of Common Stock ("Alternative A"), or (2) reduce the exercise price of each Warrant from $1.50 per share to $1.00 per share upon the Unit Investor's agreement to reduce the price associated with the Company's 30-day notice of redemption from $1.75 to $1.50 ("Alternative B"); provided, however, that if the Unit Investor determined to participate in either Alternative A or B, the Unit Investor was required to waive the Company's obligation to register the Unit Investor's sale or other transfer of the Registrable Securities (the "Registration Obligation"). Each Unit Investor electing Alternative A also was required to enter into a Restricted Sales Agreement (the "Restricted Sales Agreement") that includes the following restrictions with respect to the sale of all shares of Common Stock owned by the Unit Investor, except for any shares purchased subsequent to March 31, 2001: o On any trading day during the one-year period beginning on the day Alternative A goes into effect (which was August 9, 2001), the Unit Investor may sell or otherwise dispose of up to the Pro Rata Share, as defined below, for that Unit Investor, of (i) 15 percent of the reported trading volume of the Common Stock for the immediately preceding trading day if the reported trading volume of the Common Stock for the prior trading day was 400,000 shares or less, or (ii) 20 percent of the reported trading volume of the Common Stock for the immediately preceding trading day if the reported trading volume of the Common Stock for the prior trading day was greater than 400,000 shares; and o On any trading day during the one-year period between the first and second anniversaries of the effective date of Alternative A, the Unit Investor may sell or otherwise dispose of up to the Pro Rata Share for that Unit Investor of (i) 20 percent of the reported trading volume of the Common Stock for the immediately preceding trading day if the reported trading volume of the Common Stock for the prior trading day was 400,000 shares or less, or (ii) 25 percent of the reported trading volume of the Common Stock for the immediately preceding trading day if the reported trading volume of the Common Stock for the prior trading day was greater than 400,000 shares. The number of shares of Common Stock that the Unit Investor may sell shall not be increased as a result of any failure by the Unit Investor to sell the maximum number of Unit Investor Shares permissible at a prior time. For purposes of Alternative A, the "Pro Rata Share" of any Unit Investor means the percentage obtained by dividing (1) the number of Units purchased by the subject Unit Investor in the Year 2000 Placement, by (2) the aggregate total number of Units purchased by all investors in the Year 2000 Placement who agree to the sales restrictions described above (the "Contracting Unit Investors"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the aggregate number of Units purchased in the Year 2000 Placement by the Contracting Unit Investors is less than 90 percent of the total number of Units purchased in the Year 2000 Placement by all investors in the Year 2000 Placement, then "Pro Rata Share" shall instead mean the 33 percentage obtained by dividing (X) the number of Units purchased by the subject Unit Investor in the Year 2000 Placement, by (Z) 90 percent of the aggregate number of Units purchased by all investors in the Year 2000 Placement. As of December 31, 2001 holders representing an aggregate of 13,062,000 Units had agreed to participate in Alternative A and were issued 4,354,000 shares of common stock and holders representing an aggregate of 1,148,000 Units had agreed to participate in Alternative B. Also, in the private placement completed in January 2000, investors received 22,000,000 common stock purchase warrants to purchase, at an exercise price of $.175 per share, one share of common stock. All these warrants subsequently were exercised. In addition, effective February 16, 1999, an agreement was entered into with one of our distributors whereby the distributor advanced us $200,000 at an interest rate of 12 percent until March 1, 2000, and at 14 percent thereafter until paid in full, and we granted the distributor options to purchase 500,000 shares of stock at a price of $.03 per share. We repaid the distributor in full on January 31, 2000. The distributor subsequently exercised all of these options. Transfer Agent And Registrar Our transfer agent and registrar is Computershare Trust Company, Inc., 350 Indiana Street, Suite 800, Golden, Colorado 80401, telephone number (303) 262-0600. INACTIVE TRADING OF THE COMMON STOCK Although our shares are publicly held, there currently is not an active trading market. To the extent that there is trading in our shares, of which there is no assurance, the shares trade in the over-the-counter market and are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. The shares are not quoted on the Nasdaq system or any exchange. The closing quotes for the shares on October 15, 2002 were $.095 bid and $.10 asked. It should be assumed that even with this OTC Bulletin Board quote, there is an extremely limited trading market - and very little liquidity - for our shares. SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS AND PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION We are registering the transfer by the selling security holders of up to 2,184,545 shares of common stock. These shares consist of the following: o 1,444,545 shares of common stock; and o 740,000 shares of common stock that may be issued upon the exercise of warrants. The selling security holders may transfer the common stock at those prices that they are able to obtain in the market or as otherwise negotiated. In addition, the selling shareholders may transfer the shares in exchange for consideration other than cash, or for no consideration, as determined by the selling shareholders in their sole discretion. This prospectus may be used by the selling shareholders to transfer shares of the common stock to affiliates of the selling shareholders. Additionally, agents, brokers or dealers or other lenders may acquire shares or interests in shares as a pledgee and may, from time to time, effect distributions of the shares or interests in that capacity. We will receive no proceeds from the sale of common stock by the selling security holders. It is anticipated that the selling security holders will offer the shares in direct sales to private persons and in open market transactions. The selling security holders may offer the shares to or through registered broker-dealers 34 who will be paid standard commissions or discounts by the selling security holders. The selling security holders informed us that they do not have any arrangements or agreements with any underwriters or broker/dealers to sell the shares, and intend to contact various broker/dealers to identify prospective purchasers. Additionally, agents, brokers or dealers may acquire shares or interests in shares as a pledgee and may, from time to time, effect distributions of the shares or interests in such capacity. The following table sets forth the name of the selling security holders, the number of shares of common stock (including the number of shares of common stock underlying the warrants and options) owned by the selling security holders before this offering, the number of shares of common stock to be sold by the selling security holders, and the number and percentage of shares of common stock owned after this offering. None of the selling security holders has held any position or office, or had any marital relationship with our officers or directors in the past three years except as noted below. ---------------------------------------- ------------------ ------------------- ----------------- ------------------ Number Of Shares Number of Percentage Of Of Common Stock Number of Shares Owned Shares Owned Owned Before Shares After After Offering Name Offering(1) Offered Offering(2) ---------------------------------------- ------------------ ------------------- ----------------- ------------------ Francis B.

The person being indemnified must have acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to our best interests. Our bylaws grant this indemnification to officers and directors. Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling ARC Wireless, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, this indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Attorneys employed by Patton Boggs LLP own approximately 3,120,000 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase 300,000 shares of common stock.

Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item 310(b) of Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2001. The Company operates in three business segments, which are identified as distribution of wireless communications products, antenna design and manufacturing, and cable products, offering a wide variety of wireless component and network solutions to service providers, systems integrators, value added resellers, businesses and consumers, primarily in the United States. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2002 or any future period. Certain prior-year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current-year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the results of operations or shareholders' equity as previously reported. Note 2. Consolidation Policy The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ARC Wireless Solutions, Inc. ("ARC") and its wholly-owned subsidiary corporations, Winncom Technologies Corp. ("Winncom") and Starworks Wireless Inc. ("Starworks"), since their respective acquisition dates, after elimination of all material intercompany accounts, transactions, and profits. Note 3. Earnings Per Share As of December 31, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share" (SFAS 128). SFAS 128 provides for the calculation of "Basic" and "Dilutive" earnings per share. Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of the entity. For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2001, the Company incurred net losses. Stock options and stock warrants totaling 1,000,000 were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share because their effect was anti-dilutive; therefore, basic and fully diluted loss per share are the same for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2001. F-5 The following table represents a reconciliation of the shares used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share for the respective periods indicated: Three Three Months Months Six Months Six Months Ended Ended Ended Ended June 30, 2002 June 30, 2001 June 30, 2002 June 30, 2001 Numerator: Net Income (Loss) $ 141,000 $ (84,000) $ 605,000 $ (873,000) ============= ============= ============= ============= Denominator: Denominator for basic earnings per share - weighted average shares 153,298,000 145,546,000 152,916,000 145,200,000 Effect of dilutive securities Employee stock options 532,000 -- 401,000 -- Common stock warrants -- -- -- -- ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- Denominator for diluted earnings share - adjusted weighted average shares and assumed conversion 153,830,000 145,546,000 153,317,000 145,200,000 ============= ============= ============= ============= Basic earnings per share $ .001 $ (.001) $ .004 $ (.006) ============= ============= ============= ============= Diluted earnings per share $ .001 $ (.001) $ .004 $ (.006) ============= ============= ============= ============= Note 4. Revolving Bank Loan Winncom Technologies Corp. has two bank lines of credit bearing an interest rate of prime plus 0.5% (5.25% on June 30, 2002). One line of credit is a revolving line of credit for $3 million, of which $2.8 million is outstanding at June 30, 2002. It expires in April 2003. The other line of credit is for $1 million, of which $1,000,000 is outstanding at June 30, 2002 and which was due July 31, 2002. We are currently in negotiations with the Bank to increase our revolving line of credit facility and combine the two outstanding lines into a single credit line. The credit lines are collateralized by accounts receivable, inventory and otherwise unencumbered fixed assets of Winncom. The credit line provides that Winncom is prohibited from guaranteeing any obligations of, or paying or advancing any distribution or other amount to, ARC Wireless Solutions, Inc. or any of its subsidiaries. ARC is a general corporate guarantor of this loan. Note 5. Acquisitions On August 21, 2001 the Company acquired certain commercial assets of the wireless communications products line of Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp. (BATC), a wholly owned subsidiary of Ball Corporation, for $925,389. The assets acquired consist mainly of raw materials and finished goods inventory, testing and production equipment, and the purchase price has been allocated to these specifically identifiable assets. In November 2001 the purchase price was adjusted in accordance with the Purchase Agreement for variances in actual assets delivered to the Company by BATC. BATC refunded to the Company $99,271 pursuant to the Agreement. F-6 Note 6. Equity Transactions In July 2001, the Company offered each investor who had purchased units ("Unit Investor") of common stock and common stock purchase warrants ("Warrants") in the Company's private placement in 2000 the opportunity to either (1) exchange each three Warrants for one share of Common Stock ("Alternative A"), or (2) reduce the exercise price of each Warrant from $1.50 per share to $1.00 per share upon the Unit Investor's agreement to reduce the price associated with the Company's 30-day notice of redemption from $1.75 to $1.50 ("Alternative B"); provided, however, that if the Unit Investor determined to participate in either Alternative A or B, the Unit Investor was required to waive the Company's obligation to register the Unit Investor's sale or other transfer of the Registrable Securities (the "Registration Obligation"). Each Unit Investor electing Alternative A also was required to enter into a Restricted Sales Agreement (the "Restricted Sales Agreement") that includes the following restrictions with respect to the sale of all shares of Common Stock owned by the Unit Investor, except for any shares purchased subsequent to June 30, 2001: o On any trading day during the one-year period beginning on the day Alternative A goes into effect (which was August 9, 2001), the Unit Investor may sell or otherwise dispose of up to the Pro Rata Share, as defined below, for that Unit Investor, of (i) 15 percent of the reported trading volume of the Common Stock for the immediately preceding trading day if the reported trading volume of the Common Stock for the prior trading day was 400,000 shares or less, or (ii) 20 percent of the reported trading volume of the Common Stock for the immediately preceding trading day if the reported trading volume of the Common Stock for the prior trading day was greater than 400,000 shares; and o On any trading day during the one-year period between the first and second anniversaries of the effective date of Alternative A, the Unit Investor may sell or otherwise dispose of up to the Pro Rata Share for that Unit Investor of (i) 20 percent of the reported trading volume of the Common Stock for the immediately preceding trading day if the reported trading volume of the Common Stock for the prior trading day was 400,000 shares or less, or (ii) 25 percent of the reported trading volume of the Common Stock for the immediately preceding trading day if the reported trading volume of the Common Stock for the prior trading day was greater than 400,000 shares. The number of shares of Common Stock that the Unit Investor may sell shall not be increased as a result of any failure by the Unit Investor to sell the maximum number of Unit Investor Shares permissible at a prior time. For purposes of Alternative A, the "Pro Rata Share" of any Unit Investor means the percentage obtained by dividing (1) the number of Units purchased by the subject Unit Investor in the Year 2000 Placement, by (2) the aggregate total number of Units purchased by all investors in the Year 2000 Placement who agree to the sales restrictions described above (the "Contracting Unit Investors"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the aggregate number of Units purchased in the Year 2000 Placement by the Contracting Unit Investors is less than 90 percent of the total number of Units purchased in the Year 2000 Placement by all investors in the Year 2000 Placement, then "Pro Rata Share" shall instead mean the percentage obtained by dividing (X) the number of Units purchased by the subject Unit Investor in the Year 2000 Placement, by (Z) 90 percent of the aggregate number of Units purchased by all investors in the Year 2000 Placement. As of September 30, 2001 holders representing an aggregate of 13,062,000 Units had agreed to participate in Alternative A and were issued 4,354,003 shares of common stock and holders representing an aggregate of 1,148,000 Units had agreed to participate in Alternative B. F-7 The Company sold 5,000,000 shares of restricted common stock at $.20 per share in a private placement offering through September 2001 from which it received gross cash proceeds of $1,000,000. Related offering expenses were $22,000. The Company sold 754,545 shares of restricted common stock at $.165 per share in a private placement offering through June 30, 2002 from which it received gross cash proceeds of $124,500. Offering costs associated with this private placement offering were $4,100. Within 30 days following the filing with the SEC of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company was obligated to file a registration statement covering the resale of these shares. This registration statement is intended to be filed with the SEC by August 31, 2002. In January 2002 the Company exercised its option to repurchase the remaining 500,000 shares from the McConnell litigation settlement for $75,000. In March 2002, the Company issued 200,000 shares of restricted common stock for consulting services valued at $34,000. In the second quarter of 2002 the Company recorded the issuance of 13,945 shares of common stock to directors for outstanding obligations for accrued directors fees in the amount of $6,400. Note 7. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 "Business Combinations" ("SFAS 141") and No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142"). SFAS 141 requires all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 to be accounted for under the purchase method. For all business combinations for which the date of acquisition is after June 30, 2001, SFAS 141 also establishes specific criteria for the recognition of intangible assets separately from goodwill and requires unallocated negative goodwill to be written off immediately as an extraordinary gain, rather than deferred and amortized. SFAS 142 changes the accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets after an acquisition. The most significant changes made by SFAS 142 are: 1) goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives will no longer be amortized; 2) goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives must be tested for impairment at least annually; and 3) the amortization period for intangible assets with finite lives will no longer be limited to forty years. SFAS 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 and as such the Company adopted SFAS 142 effective January 1, 2002. The adoption of Statement SFAS 141 did not have any impact on the Company's financial position or cash flows. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, the Company discontinued the amortization of goodwill effective January 1, 2002. Additionally, under the new accounting standard, goodwill and other intangible assets will be tested differently than prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 142. The Company is required to perform these impairment tests on an annual basis and has performed the transitional impairment test required upon adoption of SFAS No. 142, using certain valuation techniques, and has determined that no impairment exists at this time. It is possible but not predictable that a change in the Company's wireless business, market capitalization, operating results or other factors could affect the carrying value of goodwill or other intangible assets and cause an impairment write-off. As of June 30, 2002 the Company has approximately $10.8 million of goodwill and other intangible assets subject to SFAS No. 142. Results of operations prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 142 are not restated. F-8 The following reconciles the reported net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share to that which would have resulted had SFAS No.142 been applied to the three months and six months ended June 30, 2001. Three Months Six Months Ended June 30, Ended June 30, 2001 2001 Reported net loss $( 84,000) $(873,000) Add: Goodwill amortization, net of tax 248,000 498,000 --------- --------- Adjusted net income (loss) $ 164,000 $(375,000) ========= ========= Reported basic loss per share $ (.001) $ (.006) Add: Goodwill amortization, net of tax, per basic share .002 .003 --------- --------- Adjusted basic income (loss) per share $ .001 $ (.003) ========= ========= In June 2001, the FASB also approved for issuance SFAS 143 "Asset Retirement Obligations." SFAS 143 establishes accounting requirements for retirement obligations associated with tangible long-lived assets, including (1) the timing of the liability recognition, (2) initial measurement of the liability, (3) allocation of asset retirement cost to expense, (4) subsequent measurement of the liability and (5) financial statement disclosures. SFAS 143 requires that an asset retirement cost should be capitalized as part of the cost of the related long-lived asset and subsequently allocated to expense using a systematic and rational method. The Company will adopt the statement effective no later than January 1, 2003, as required. The transition adjustment resulting from the adoption of SFAS 143 will be reported as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. The Company does not believe that the adoption of this statement will have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In October 2001, the FASB also approved SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. SFAS 144 replaces SFAS 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of. The new accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale applies to all long-lived assets, including discontinued operations, and replaces the provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, Reporting Results of Operations-Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, for the disposal of segments of a business. Statement 144 requires that those long-lived assets be measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell, whether reported in continuing operations or in discontinued operations. Therefore, discontinued operations will no longer be measured at net realizable value or include amounts for operating losses that have not yet occurred. Statement 144 also broadens the reporting of discontinued operations to include all components of an entity with operations that can be distinguished from the rest of the entity and that will be eliminated from the ongoing operations of the entity in a disposal transaction. The Company adopted the provisions of Statement 144 effective January 1, 2002 and the adoption did not have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections," effective for fiscal years beginning May 15, 2002 or later that rescinds FASB Statement No. 4, "Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt", FASB Statement No. 64, "Extinguishments of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements", and FASB Statement No. 44, "Accounting for Intangible Assets of Motor Carriers". This Statement Amends FASB Statement No. 4 and FASB Statement No. 13, "Accounting for Leases", to eliminate an inconsistency between the required accounting for sale-leaseback transactions. This Statement also amends other existing authoritative pronouncements to make F-9 various technical corrections, clarify meanings, or describe their applicability under changed conditions. The Company does not expect the implementation of SFAS No. 145 to have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations. In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities". SFAS 146 requires recording costs associated with exit or disposal activities at their fair values when a liability has been incurred. Under previous guidance, certain exit costs were accrued upon management's commitment to an exit plan, which is generally before an actual liability has been incurred. Adoption of SFAS 146 is required with the beginning of fiscal year 2003. The Company does not anticipate a significant impact on its results of operations from adopting this Statement. Note 8. Industry Segment Information SFAS No. 131, "Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," requires that the Company disclose certain information about its operating segments where operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Generally, financial information is required to be reported on the basis that is used internally for evaluating segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources to segments. The Company has three reportable segments that are separate business units that offer different products as follows: distribution of wireless communication products, antenna design and manufacturing, and cable products. Each segment consists of a single operating unit and the accounting policies of the reporting segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. Intersegment sales and transfers are recorded at cost plus an agreed upon intercompany profit on intersegment sales and transfers. Financial information regarding the Company's three operating segments for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 are as follows: June 30 Distribution Manufacturing Cable Corporate Total -- ------------ ------------- ----- --------- ----- Net Sales 2002 $11,987,000 $ 3,741,000 $ 285,000 $ (56,000) $15,957,000 2001 $14,000,000 $ 1,305,000 $ 841,000 $ (79,000) $16,067,000 Net Earnings 2002 $ 123,000 $ 515,000 $ (54,000) $ 21,000 $ 605,000 (Loss) 2001 $ 397,000 $ (130,000) $ (243,000) $ (897,000) $ (873,000) Earnings (Loss) before Income 2002 $ 162,000 $ 515,000 $ (54,000) $ 21,000 $ 644,000 Taxes 2001 $ 405,000 $ (130,000) $ (243,000) $ (897,000) $ (865,000) Identifiable 2002 $22,025,000 $ 4,242,000 $ 400,000 $(1,834,000) $24,833,000 Assets 2001 $20,244,000 $ 2,772,000 $3,245,000 $ (684,000) $25,577,000 Corporate represents the operations of the parent Company, including segment eliminations. F-10 Note 9. Critical Accounting Policies The Company's significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 1 of its consolidated financial statements on Form 10-KSB. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported therein, including estimates about the effects of matters or future events that are inherently uncertain. Policies determined to be critical are those that have the most significant impact on the Company's financial statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and/or estimates. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuations and recoverability of intangible assets, including goodwill. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are also believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent form other sources. Our major operating assets are trade and vendor accounts receivable, inventory, property and equipment and intangible assets. Our reserve for doubtful accounts of $1,084,000 should be adequate for any exposure to loss in our accounts receivable as of June 30, 2002. We have also established reserves for slow moving and obsolete inventories and believe the current reserve of $309,000 is adequate. We depreciate our property and equipment over their estimated useful lives and we have not identified any items that are impaired.

F-17 ARC Wireless Solutions, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2001 (Shares and Dollars in Thousands, Except Per Share Data) 1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Organization The Company was organized under the laws of the State of Utah on September 30, 1987 for the purpose of acquiring one or more businesses, under the name of Westflag Corporation, which was formerly Westcliff Corporation. In January 1989, the Company completed its initial public offering. In 1989, the Company merged with Antennas America, Inc., a Colorado corporation that had been formed in September 1988. Pursuant to the merger, all the issued and outstanding stock of Antennas America, Inc. was converted into 41,952 shares, and the Company name was changed to Antennas America, Inc. At the annual shareholders meeting held on October 11, 2000, the shareholders voted to change the Company's name to ARC Wireless Solutions, Inc. from Antennas America, Inc. The Wireless Communications Products Division designs, develops, markets and sells a diversified line of antennas and related wireless communication systems, including base station panel antennas, conformal and phased array antennas, distributed primarily through third party OEMs and distributors located in the United States. On May 24, 2000, the Company purchased, through its subsidiary, Winncom Technologies, Corp. ("Winncom"), the outstanding shares of Winncom Technologies, Inc. Winncom specializes in marketing, distribution and service, as well as selected design, manufacturing and installation of wireless component and network solutions in support of both voice and data applications, primarily through third party distributors located in the United States. The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase, and accordingly, the operations for Winncom have been included in the Company's consolidated statement of operations from May 24, 2000 (the date of acquisition) forward. (See Note 4) On September 29, 2000, the Company purchased, through its subsidiary, Starworks Wireless Inc. ("Starworks"), the outstanding shares of Starworks Technology, Inc. (a/k/a The Kit Company). Starworks specializes in the design, manufacturing, marketing, distribution and service of direct-to-home dish satellite installation kits in the United States, primarily through OEMs and third-party distributors, retailers and the Internet. The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase and accordingly, the operations for Starworks have been included in the Company's consolidated statement of operations from September 29, 2000 (the date of acquisition) forward. Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ARC Wireless Solutions, Inc. ("ARC"), and its wholly-owned subsidiary corporations, Winncom Technologies Corp. ("Winncom") and Starworks Wireless Inc. ("Kit"), since their respective acquisition dates, after elimination of all material intercompany accounts, transactions, and profits. F-18 ARC Wireless Solutions, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2001 (Shares and Dollars in Thousands, Except Per Share Data) 1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued Inventory Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market using standard costs that approximate average cost. Inventories are reviewed periodically and items considered to be slow moving or obsolete are reduced to estimated net realizable value through an appropriate reserve. Inventory consists of the following at December 31: 2001 2000 ------- ------- Raw materials $ 1,352 $ 763 Work in progress 150 128 Finished goods 4,738 3,974 ------- ------- 6,240 4,865 Inventory reserve (302) (132) ------- ------- Net inventory $ 5,938 $ 4,733 ======= ======= Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at acquired cost. The Company uses the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of three to seven years to compute depreciation for financial reporting purposes and accelerated methods for income tax purposes. Leasehold improvements and leased equipment are amortized over the lesser of the estimated useful lives or over the term of the leases. Upon sale or retirement, the cost and related accumulated depreciation of disposed assets are eliminated from the respective accounts and the resulting gain or loss is included in the statements of income. Property and equipment consist of the following at December 31: 2001 2000 ------- ------- Machinery and equipment $ 852 $ 522 Computer equipment and software 323 261 Furniture and fixtures 173 138 Leasehold improvements 76 53 ------- ------- 1424 974 Accumulated depreciation (695) (465) ------- ------- $ 729 $ 509 ======= ======= Depreciation expense, which includes amortization of fixed assets acquired through capital leases, amounted to $234 and $138 during the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Patent Costs Patent costs are stated at cost and amortized over ten years using the straight-line method. Patent amortization expense amounted to $11 and $6 for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. F-19 ARC Wireless Solutions, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2001 (Shares and Dollars in Thousands, Except Per Share Data) 1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued Intangible Assets Intangible assets consist principally of purchased intangible assets and the excess acquisition cost over the fair value of tangible and identified intangible net assets of businesses acquired (goodwill). Purchased intangible assets include developed technology, trademarks and trade names, assembled workforces and distribution network. The Company continually evaluates whether later events and circumstances have occurred that indicate the remaining estimated useful life of goodwill may warrant revision or that the remaining balance of goodwill may not be recoverable. When factors indicate that goodwill should be evaluated for possible impairment, the Company uses an estimate of future cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets in comparison with the assets carrying amount in deciding whether the goodwill is recoverable. Intangible assets are being amortized using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging from 5 to 15 years. 2001 2000 ---- ---- Patents $ 149 $ 132 Assembled workforce 125 125 Distribution network 150 150 Goodwill 11,888 14,547 ------- ------- 12,312 14,954 Accumulated amortization (1,405) (597) ------- ------- Intangible assets, net $10,907 $14,357 ======= ======= Fourth Quarter Adjustment During the fourth quarter of 2001, the Company recorded the following year-end adjustments, which it believes are material to the results of that quarter. Goodwill was determined to be impaired because of the uncertainty of the current financial and operating condition of Starworks and the possibility that Starworks may be unable to generate future operating income in its legacy business without the transformation of Starworks into a conventional cable business. 2001 ---- Impairment write down of goodwill associated with Starworks acquisition $1,257 Long-lived Assets The carrying value of long-lived assets are reviewed annually; if at any time the facts or circumstances at any of the Company's individual subsidiaries indicate impairment of long-lived asset values, as a result of a continual decline in performance or as a result of fundamental changes in a subsidiary's market, a determination is made as to whether the carrying value of the property's long-lived assets exceeds estimated realizable value. F-20 ARC Wireless Solutions, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2001 (Shares and Dollars in Thousands, Except Per Share Data) 1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued Research and Development Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. Such expenses were $205 and $198, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000. Revenue Revenue is recorded when goods are shipped. The Company has established reserves for anticipated sales returns based on historical return percentages as well as specific identification and reserve of potential problem accounts. The Company has several major commercial customers who incorporate the Company's products into other manufactured goods, and returns from these customers have not been significant. Additionally, returns related to retail sales have been immaterial and within management's expectations. Cash The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash. From time to time the Company has cash balances in excess of Federally Insured amounts. Restricted Cash The Company had established a $300 standby letter of credit that guarantees payment for coaxial cable imported from China. The letter of credit was guaranteed by a certificate of deposit in the amount of $300 that matured on November 7, 2001 and had an annual percentage yield of 6.34%. The Letter of Credit expired on November 7, 2001 and was not renewed. The Company also had restricted cash under a revolving bank loan agreement that terminated in February 2001(Note 2). Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company's short-term financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued expenses. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate fair value because of their short-term maturities. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash and accounts receivable. The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes nor does it hold or issue interest rate or leveraged derivative financial instruments. Estimates The preparation of the Company's financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. F-21 ARC Wireless Solutions, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2001 (Shares and Dollars in Thousands, Except Per Share Data) 1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued Basis of Presentation The Company has experienced recurring losses, and has accumulated a deficit of $5.8 million since inception in 1989. During 2001, the Company was able to increase sales, increase gross margin and decrease SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenues. There can be no assurance however that the Company will achieve the desired result of positive cash flow from operations. Management believes that current working capital and available borrowings on existing bank lines of credit, together with additional equity infusions that management believes would be available, will be sufficient to allow the Company to maintain its operations through December 31, 2002. Advertising Costs Advertising costs are charged to operations when the advertising is first shown. Advertising costs charged to operations were $48 and $145 in 2001 and 2000, respectively. Net Income Per Common Share As of December 31, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share" (SFAS 128). SFAS 128 provides for the calculation of "Basic" and "Dilutive" earnings per share. Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of the entity. For the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, the Company incurred net losses and stock options and stock warrants, totaling 6,598 and 12,570, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share because their effect was anti-dilutive; therefore, basic and fully diluted loss per share are the same for those years. Stock Option Plans The Company applies Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and the related interpretations in accounting for all stock option plans. Under APB Opinion 25, no compensation cost has been recognized for stock options issued to employees as the exercise price of the Company's stock options granted equals or exceeds the market price of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS No. 123"), requires the Company to provide pro forma information regarding net income as if compensation cost for the Company's stock options plans had been determined in accordance with the fair value based method prescribed in SFAS No. 123. To provide the required pro forma information, the Company estimates the fair value of each stock option at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. F-22 ARC Wireless Solutions, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2001 (Shares and Dollars in Thousands, Except Per Share Data) 1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued Reclassifications Certain balances in the prior year consolidated financial statements have been reclassified in order to conform to the current year presentation. The reclassifications had no effect on financial condition or results of operations. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 "Business Combinations" ("SFAS 141") and No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142"). SFAS 141 requires all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 to be accounted for under the purchase method. For all business combinations for which the date of acquisition is after June 30, 2001, SFAS 141 also establishes specific criteria for the recognition of intangible assets separately from goodwill and requires unallocated negative goodwill to be written off immediately as an extraordinary gain, rather than deferred and amortized. SFAS 142 changes the accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets after an acquisition. The most significant changes made by SFAS 142 are: 1) goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives will no longer be amortized; 2) goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives must be tested for impairment at least annually; and 3) the amortization period for intangible assets with finite lives will no longer be limited to forty years. SFAS 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, with early application permitted in certain circumstances. The Company believes that the adoption of SFAS 142 will have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows. At this time, the Company estimates that the effect of the adoption of Statement SFAS 142 will reduce operating expenses by approximately $836 as a result of reducing amortization of purchased intangibles. The adoption of Statement SFAS 141 is not expected to have any impact on the Company's financial position or cash flows. In June 2001, the FASB also approved for issuance SFAS 143 "Asset Retirement Obligations ("SFAS 143")." SFAS 143 establishes accounting requirements for retirement obligations associated with tangible long-lived assets, including (1) the timing of the liability recognition, (2) initial measurement of the liability, (3) allocation of asset retirement cost to expense, (4) subsequent measurement of the liability and (5) financial statement disclosures. SFAS 143 requires that an asset retirement cost should be capitalized as part of the cost of the related long-lived asset and subsequently allocated to expense using a systematic and rational method. The Company will adopt the statement effective no later than January 1, 2003, as required. The transition adjustment resulting from the adoption of SFAS 143 will be reported as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. The Company does not believe that the adoption of this statement will have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In October 2001, the FASB also approved SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets ("SFAS 144"). SFAS 144 replaces SFAS 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of. The new accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale applies to all long-lived assets, including discontinued operations, F-23 ARC Wireless Solutions, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2001 (Shares and Dollars in Thousands, Except Per Share Data) 1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued and replaces the provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, Reporting Results of Operations-Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, for the disposal of segments of a business. SFAS 144 requires that those long-lived assets be measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell, whether reported in continuing operations or in discontinued operations. Therefore, discontinued operations will no longer be measured at net realizable value or include amounts for operating losses that have not yet occurred. SFAS 144 also broadens the reporting of discontinued operations to include all components of an entity with operations that can be distinguished from the rest of the entity and that will be eliminated from the ongoing operations of the entity in a disposal transaction. The provisions of SFAS 144 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 and, generally, are to be applied prospectively. The Company does not believe that the adoption of this statement will have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. 2. Revolving Bank Loan Agreements and Notes Payable In conjunction with the acquisition of Starworks Technology, Inc. on September 29, 2000, the Company assumed a $1,500 revolving bank loan agreement. The agreement was collateralized by accounts receivable and restricted cash maintained in a non-collection reserve account as discussed below. In connection with the agreement, the Company assigned Starworks' accounts receivable to the bank for collection by the bank. In February 2001 the revolving bank loan agreement was terminated by the Company and all balances outstanding under the bank loan agreement were paid. At December 31, 2001 and 2000, $0 and $308, respectively were outstanding under this arrangement. The amounts advanced under the terms of the agreement were equivalent to the gross amount of the accounts receivable assigned, net of a one-time bank service charge of 2.65% and a reserve for non-collection of 10%. The service charge was adjusted on a quarterly basis and may be adjusted to 3.15% based on the average collection period of the accounts receivable. Total service charges under the agreement were approximately $22 from the date of acquisition on September 29, 2000 through December 31, 2000 and $14 for 2001. The amount of the required non-collection reserve was calculated based on the age of the specific invoices assigned. The non-collection reserve had been established in the form of an interest-bearing restricted cash account. Restricted cash in connection with this arrangement totaled $44 at December 31, 2000. In conjunction with the acquisition of Winncom Technologies, Inc. on May 24, 2000, the Company assumed a $1,500 revolving line of credit from a bank bearing an interest rate of prime plus 0.5% (5.5% at December 31, 2001 and 10.0% at December 31, 2000). The line is collateralized by accounts receivable, inventory and otherwise unencumbered fixed assets of Winncom. ARC is a general corporate guarantor of this loan. On November 27, 2000 the line was increased to $3,000 of which, $2,621 was outstanding at December 31, 2001 and $1,498 was outstanding under the agreement at December 31, 2000. This agreement expires in April 2003, at which time all borrowings are due in full in the event the line is not renewed. F-24 ARC Wireless Solutions, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2001 (Shares and Dollars in Thousands, Except Per Share Data) 2. Revolving Bank Loan Agreements and Notes Payable, continued In connection with the acquisition of the Ball Assets in August 2001 Winncom established a new line of credit in the amount of $1 million bearing an interest rate of prime plus 0.5% (5.5% at December 31, 2001). This line is also collateralized by accounts receivable, inventory and otherwise unencumbered fixed assets of Winncom. ARC is a general corporate guarantor of this loan. As of December 31, 2001 $925 was outstanding under this line of credit. This balance due under this letter of credit was due July 31, 2002. The Company is currently negotiating with the bank to convert this line of credit, currently due, to a long-term credit facility. Also in conjunction with the acquisition of Winncom Technologies, Inc. on May 24, 2000, the Company assumed a $6 payroll account overdraft protection facility with a bank, of which $5 was outstanding under the facility at December 31, 2000. Revolving bank lines of credit and notes payable to others at December 31, 2001 and 2000 consist of: 2001 2000 ------- ------- Bank line of credit - Starworks $ -- $ 308 Bank lines of credit - Winncom 3,546 1,503 ------- ------- 3,546 1,811 Less current portion (925) (313) ------- ------- $ 2,621 $ 1,498 ======= ======= 3. Stockholders' Equity In January 2000, we completed a private placement offering of 22,000 units, with each unit consisting of one share of our restricted common stock and one redeemable common stock purchase warrant to purchase one share of our common stock, receiving proceeds of $1,034 in 1999 and $121 in 2000. Each unit entitled the holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $.175 per share and became exercisable on March 14, 2000, the date a registration statement on Form SB-2 relating to the resale of the common stock sold in the private placement and of the common stock underlying the warrants was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The holders of 19,235 warrants exercised their warrants in 2000 and the Company received gross proceeds of approximately $3,400. Total proceeds received in 2000 from the sale of units and exercise of warrants was approximately $3,400, net of related offering expenses of approximately $51. In March 2000, as approved by the Board of Directors, an officer/director, a former officer/director and one other director, exercised 2,765 warrants, acquired in a private placement, with an exercise price of $484 by exchanging 219 previously owned shares of the Company's common stock valued at $484. The value of the 219 shares of common stock received by the Company in this transaction was based on the average closing price of the Company's common stock on the five trading days prior to the transaction, which was $2.2062. Also in March 2000, a director of the Company used previously owned common stock, valued at $78, to exercise 900 common stock options with an aggregate exercise price of $78. Based on the same average closing price as used in the warrant exercise transaction previously noted, a total of 35 shares of previously owned common stock were exchanged as payment of the exercise price for the 900 common stock options. The Company received a total of 255 shares of common stock from these two cashless exercises. The common stock received was recorded as treasury stock then retired. F-25 ARC Wireless Solutions, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2001 (Shares and Dollars in Thousands, Except Per Share Data) 3. Stockholders' Equity, continued The Company also completed a second private placement offering in October 2000. This transaction provided for the issuance of up to 16,000 units, with each unit consisting of one share of restricted common stock at a price of $0.50 per share plus one redeemable common stock purchase warrant to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share. The warrants are exercisable immediately and expire upon the earlier of one year from the date of registration of the underlying securities or five years from the date of offering. The Company sold 15,000 units in this private placement, from which the Company received gross cash proceeds of $7,500, all of which occurred during 2000. Related offering expenses were $18 in 2000 and $5 in 2001. In July 2001, the Company offered each Unit Investor the opportunity to either (1) exchange each three Warrants for one share of Common Stock ("Alternative A"), or (2) reduce the exercise price of each Warrant from $1.50 per share to $1.00 per share upon the Unit Investor's agreement to reduce the price associated with the Company's 30-day notice of redemption from $1.75 to $1.50 ("Alternative B"); provided, however, that if the Unit Investor determined to participate in either Alternative A or B, the Unit Investor was required to waive the Company's obligation to register the Unit Investor's sale or other transfer of the Registrable Securities (the "Registration Obligation"). Each Unit Investor electing Alternative A also was required to enter into a Restricted Sales Agreement (the "Restricted Sales Agreement") that includes the following restrictions with respect to the sale of all shares of Common Stock owned by the Unit Investor, except for any shares purchased subsequent to March 31, 2001: o On any trading day during the one-year period beginning on the day Alternative A goes into effect (which was August 9, 2001), the Unit Investor may sell or otherwise dispose of up to the Pro Rata Share, as defined below, for that Unit Investor, of (i) 15 percent of the reported trading volume of the Common Stock for the immediately preceding trading day if the reported trading volume of the Common Stock for the prior trading day was 400 shares or less, or (ii) 20 percent of the reported trading volume of the Common Stock for the immediately preceding trading day if the reported trading volume of the Common Stock for the prior trading day was greater than 400 shares; and o On any trading day during the one-year period between the first and second anniversaries of the effective date of Alternative A, the Unit Investor may sell or otherwise dispose of up to the Pro Rata Share for that Unit Investor of (i) 20 percent of the reported trading volume of the Common Stock for the immediately preceding trading day if the reported trading volume of the Common Stock for the prior trading day was 400 shares or less, or (ii) 25 percent of the reported trading volume of the Common Stock for the immediately preceding trading day if the reported trading volume of the Common Stock for the prior trading day was greater than 400 shares. F-26 ARC Wireless Solutions, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2001 (Shares and Dollars in Thousands, Except Per Share Data) 3. Stockholders' Equity, continued The number of shares of Common Stock that the Unit Investor may sell shall not be increased as a result of any failure by the Unit Investor to sell the maximum number of Unit Investor Shares permissible at a prior time. For purposes of Alternative A, the "Pro Rata Share" of any Unit Investor means the percentage obtained by dividing (1) the number of Units purchased by the subject Unit Investor in the Year 2000 Placement, by (2) the aggregate total number of Units purchased by all investors in the Year 2000 Placement who agree to the sales restrictions described above (the "Contracting Unit Investors"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the aggregate number of Units purchased in the Year 2000 Placement by the Contracting Unit Investors is less than 90 percent of the total number of Units purchased in the Year 2000 Placement by all investors in the Year 2000 Placement, then "Pro Rata Share" shall instead mean the percentage obtained by dividing (X) the number of Units purchased by the subject Unit Investor in the Year 2000 Placement, by (Z) 90 percent of the aggregate number of Units purchased by all investors in the Year 2000 Placement. As of December 31, 2001 holders representing an aggregate of 13,062 Units had agreed to participate in Alternative A and were issued 4,354 shares of common stock, holders representing an aggregate of 1,148 Units had agreed to participate in Alternative B and holders representing an aggregate of 790 units elected not to participate in Alternative A or B. The Company sold 5,000 shares of restricted common stock at $.20 per share in a private placement offering through September 2001 from which it received gross cash proceeds of $1,000. Related offering expenses were $22. In November 1997, the Board of Directors approved the Company's 1997 Stock Option and Compensation Plan ("the Plan"). Pursuant to the Plan, the Company may grant options to purchase an aggregate of 5,000 shares of the Company's common stock to key employees, directors, and other persons who have or are contributing to the success of the Company. The options granted pursuant to the Plan may be incentive options qualifying for beneficial tax treatment for the recipient or they may be nonqualified options. The options granted are valued at the stock price on the date of grant and have varying exercise periods. During 2001 and 2000 the Company granted 1,560 and 2,061 options under the plan, respectively. Through May 24, 2000, directors who were not also employees ("Outside Directors") automatically received options to purchase 250 shares pursuant to the Plan at the time of their election as an Outside Director. These options held by Outside Directors were not exercisable at the time of grant. Options to purchase 50 shares became exercisable for each meeting of the Board of Directors attended by each Outside Director on or after the date of grant of the options to that Outside Director, but in no event earlier than six months following the date of grant. The exercise price for options granted to Outside Directors was equal to the fair market value per share of our common stock on the date of grant. All options granted to Outside Directors expire five years after the date of grant. On the date that all of an Outside Director's options became F-27 ARC Wireless Solutions, Inc.

Stockholders' Equity, continued exercisable, options to purchase an additional 250 shares, which were exercisable no earlier than six months from the date of grant, were automatically granted to that Outside Director. On May 24, 2000, the Board of Directors voted to (1) decrease the amount of options automatically granted to Outside Directors from 250 to 25 options, and (2) decrease the amount of exercisable options from 50 to 5 per meeting. The term of the Outside Director options granted in the future was lowered from five years to two years. The other terms of the Outside Director options did not change. On July 5, 2002, the Board of Directors voted to (1) increase the amount of options automatically granted to Outside Directors from 25 to 125 options, and (2) increase the amount of exercisable options from 5 to 25 per meeting. The other terms of the Outside Director options did not change. The Company granted a total of 275 options to Outside Directors under the Plan during 2000, at exercise prices from $0.89 to $1.01 per share. Outside Directors earned $2 in meeting attendance fees (which will be paid through issuance of 27 shares in 2000) and vested 325 stock options during fiscal year ended December 31, 2000. Outside Directors earned $4 in meeting attendance fees. During 2001 and 2000, the Company granted options for 600 and 9,809 shares, respectively, of the Company's common stock outside of the Plan. These options were granted to former officers, with an exercise price equal to the average stock price on the date of grant with varying exercise periods. The following table summarizes the option activity for 2001 and 2000: Number of Weighted Average Shares Exercise Price ($) ------------------- ------------------- 2000 Activity: Outstanding at beginning of year 2,500 0.074 Granted 11,870 0.909 Exercised (1,300) 0.079 Forfeited or expired (500) 0.052 ------------------- ------------------- Outstanding at end of year 12,570 0.921 =================== =================== Exercisable at end of year 1,870 0.629 2001 Activity: Outstanding at beginning of year 12,570 0.921 Granted 2,160 0.283 Exercised (100) 0.06 Forfeited or expired (9,970) 0.976 ------------------- ------------------- Outstanding at end of year 4,660 0.525 =================== =================== Exercisable at end of year 3,590 0.487 =================== =================== F-28 ARC Wireless Solutions, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2001 (Shares and Dollars in Thousands, Except Per Share Data) 3. Stockholders' Equity, continued At December 31, 2001, there are 600 options exercisable from $0.06 to $0.15, 1,660 from $.21 to $.58, 970 at $0.63 to $.90, and 360 at $1.01 to $1.03. These options expire between 2001 and 2005. The weighted average grant date fair values of the options granted during 2001 and 2000 were $0.209 and $.868, respectively. All option exercise prices were granted at market. The weighted average remaining contractual life of options outstanding at the end of 2001 and 2000 were 2.02 years and 3.75 years, respectively. In February 2001 the Company's former Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer relinquished a combined 9,900 options granted during 2000, of which 676 were granted under the Plan and 9,224 were granted outside of the Plan. As part of the termination agreement the Company granted new fully vested options for 550 shares outside of the Plan to these former employees, with an exercise price equal to the average stock price on the date of their respective departures. The Black-Scholes value of these non-qualified options is $122, which the Company recognized as expense in the first quarter of 2001. The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No., 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25), and related interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options because, as discussed below, the alternative fair value accounting provided for under FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123), requires use of option valuation models that were not developed for use in valuing employee stock options. Under APB 25, if the exercise price of the Company's employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized. Pro forma recognition regarding net loss and loss per share is required by SFAS 123, which also requires that the information be determined as if the Company has accounted for its employee stock options under the fair value method of SFAS 123. The fair value for options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following assumptions used for all options granted in 2001 and 2000: risk-free interest rate ranging from 4% to 6%, a dividend yield of 0%, volatility factors of the expected market price of the Company's common stock of between 1.428 to 1.509 and an expected life of one to five years. The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly sensitive assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company's employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.

Stockholders' Equity, continued December 31, 2001 2000 ------- ------- Net loss: As reported $(2,801) $(1,841) Pro forma $(3,264) $(2,692) Loss per share: As reported $ (.019) $(0.015) Pro forma $ (.022) $(0.021) Additionally, the Company recorded $122 and $92 of expense during 2001 and 2000, respectively related to non-employee options that were granted and vested. 4. Acquisitions In May 2000, the Company purchased, through its subsidiary, Winncom Technologies Corp., the outstanding shares of Winncom Technologies, Inc. The Company paid $12,000 in aggregate consideration, consisting of $3,000 in cash, a $1,500 non-interest bearing promissory note payable 90 days from the closing date, a $1,500 non-interest bearing promissory note payable 180 days from the closing date and $6,000 in shares of the Company's common stock (6,946 shares). The Company recorded $12,237 of goodwill in connection with the acquisition. In September 2000, the Company purchased, through its subsidiary, Starworks, the outstanding shares of Starworks Technology, Inc. The original aggregate consideration was $3,000, consisting of $1,500 in cash (of which the Company paid $1,000 at closing) and $1,500 in shares of the Company's common stock (1,959 shares). The purchase agreement provided for a reduction in the cash purchase price in the event that the audited net assets of Starworks at closing were less than $592. Pursuant to this provision, in December 2000 the sellers forfeited the $500 of the cash portion of the purchase price that was not paid at closing and returned an additional $194 of cash as a result of the certified audit of the closing balance sheet. The Company recorded $2,506 of goodwill in connection with the acquisition. In January 2001 in the Federal District Court in the Northern District of Georgia, the Company commenced litigation against Mr. and Mrs. McConnell and other parties claiming either for the transaction to be reversed or for the McConnell's to pay damages for their alleged misrepresentations regarding the sale of Starworks to the Company. The McConnell's also filed suit against the Company claiming damages from the Company for alleged misrepresentations by the Company. In December 2001, a settlement agreement was reached between the Company and the McConnell's whereby 1,459 shares of the Company's common stock paid to the McConnell's as part of the consideration was returned to the Company and the Company received an option to purchase the remaining 500 shares of common stock at $.15 per share. The Company exercised its option in January 2002 and purchased the remaining shares for $75. As a result of the 1,459 shares being returned to the Company, goodwill has been reduced by approximately $1.1 million. F-30 ARC Wireless Solutions, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2001 (Shares and Dollars in Thousands, Except Per Share Data) 4. Acquisitions, continued These acquisitions have been accounted for as purchases; accordingly, the consolidated financial statements include the operations of the acquired businesses from the date of each acquisition. Summarized unaudited pro forma results of operations reflecting the acquisitions of Winncom Technologies, Inc. and Starworks Technology, Inc. assuming acquisition as of January 1, 2000 are as follows: For the Year Ended December 31 ------- 2000 ------- Net sales $27,553 ======= Net loss (2,079) ======= Loss per share $ (0.02) ======= On August 21, 2001 the Company acquired certain commercial assets of the wireless communications products line of Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp. ("BATC"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Ball Corporation, for $925. The assets acquired consist mainly of raw materials and finished goods inventory, testing and production equipment and the purchase price has been allocated to these specifically identifiable assets. In November 2001 the purchase price was adjusted in accordance with the Purchase Agreement for variances in actual assets delivered to the Company by BATC. BATC has agreed to refund to the Company $99 pursuant to the Agreement and such refund was received subsequent to December 31, 2001. In accordance with the Purchase Agreement with BATC, the Company may be obligated to purchase materials under a long-term supply contract. The contract is for deliveries over a one-year period and is for approximately $233. 5. Income Taxes The Company records the income tax effect of transactions in the same year that the transactions enter into the determination of income, regardless of when the transactions are recognized for tax purposes. Income tax credits are used to reduce the provision for income taxes in the year in which such credits are allowed for tax purposes. Deferred taxes are provided to reflect the income tax effects of amounts included for financial purposes in different periods than for tax purposes, principally accelerated depreciation for income tax purposes. Such amounts have not been significant. Income tax expense for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 is as follows: 2001 2000 ---------- ---------- Current $ 118 $ 7 Deferred - - ---------- ---------- Total $ 118 $ 7 ========== ========== F-31 ARC Wireless Solutions, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2001 (Shares and Dollars in Thousands, Except Per Share Data) 5. Income Taxes, continued The Company has not recorded a liability for federal income taxes payable currently, or for deferred taxes to future periods due to the existence of substantial net operating loss carry-forward amounts available to offset taxable income. The components of the deferred taxes asset as of December 31 are as follows: 2001 2000 ---------- ---------- Deferred tax assets: Net operating loss carry-forwards $ 530 $ 864 Stock option compensation 45 Inventory reserve 112 49 Accrued expenses 9 - Bad debt reserves 371 202 ---------- ---------- 1,067 1,115 Deferred tax liabilities: Prepaids (35) - Property and equipment (54) (57) ---------- ---------- (89) (57) Deferred tax assets 978 1,058 Valuation allowance (978) (1,058) ---------- ---------- Net deferred tax assets $ - $ - ========== ========== A reconciliation of federal income taxes computed by multiplying pretax net loss by the statutory rate of 34% to the provision for income taxes is as follows at December 31: 2001 2000 --------- --------- Tax benefit computed at statutory rate $ (912) $ (624) State income tax 118 (49) Valuation allowance (38) 613 Effect of permanent differences 950 113 Other - (46) --------- --------- Provision for income taxes (benefit) $ 118 $ 7 ========= ========= As of December 31, 2001 and 2000, an evaluation of the reserve determined that it was more likely than not that the net operating loss asset may not be realized and therefore a valuation allowance for the full amount was recorded. The valuation allowance for 2001 and 2000 decreased $80 and increased $620, respectively. The Company has a net operating loss carry-forward of approximately $1.4 million, which begin to expire from 2004 to 2015. The net operating loss carry-forwards may be subject to further limitation pursuant to IRS section 382 and may expire unused. F-32 ARC Wireless Solutions, Inc.

Significant Suppliers During 2001, the Company purchased approximately 66% of its product from four vendors and in 2000 the Company purchased approximately 80% of its product from two vendors. The loss of any of these vendors could have a material adverse impact on the operations of the Company. 8. Leases The Company leases its facilities under operating leases through 2005. Minimum future rentals payable under the leases are as follows: 2002 $ 395 2003 205 2004 94 2005 98 ------- $ 792 ======= Rent expense was $459 and $292 for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
