PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.
Direct Wireless Corporation was formed in 1997 for the purpose of developing and
exploiting a wireless telephone technology intended to eliminate the need for
expensive control towers and related equipment currently in use in the cellular
communications industry. To the present its sole business has been the
development of patents relating to wireless telephone technology. Several
communications industry consultants to Direct Wireless Corporation strongly
advised that company to protect its patents and improvements on those patents,
as well as any new patents that it might obtain, from any potential claims by
completely separating the marketing and licensing functions from the business of
developing and patenting wireless communications technology. Specifically, they
advised Direct Wireless Corporation to transfer the marketing functions to a
separate corporation.
Direct Wireless Corporation has followed that advice. In April 2001 it organized
us under the name Direct Wireless Communications, Inc., and has now licensed us
to market and/or sublicense in the United States the wireless communications
technology it has developed and on which it holds the patents. On October 17,
2001 Direct Wireless Corporation further separated itself from the marketing
function by divesting itself of all ownership of our stock by distributing its
entire holdings as a stock dividend to its stockholders. It no longer owns any
equity interest in us.
THE TECHNOLOGY WE WILL MARKET AND SUBLICENSE.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE TECHNOLOGY.
We have acquired from Direct Wireless Corporation the right to market and
sublicense the technology covered by three patents, No. 5,995,849 issued on
November 30, 1999, No. 6,141,531 issued on October 31, 2000, and No. 6,374,078
issued on April 16, 2002 and a fourth patent application #10/0632283 filed on
April 8, 2002. Expenditures by Direct Wireless Corporation for patent costs have
been $ 85,284.26. These patents relate to a new wireless communication system
(named Timed Shared Full Duplex) that uses radio frequencies for transmitting
and receiving voice and data signals. The technology covered by the patents uses
a self-contained radio network with several different routes for the wireless
signals to take within that network and many different routes to connect that
self-contained network to other outside networks.
The internal network consists of telephone handsets that allow for wireless
communication that is not controlled from a central point and can travel along
multiple communication routes. If several handsets are within range, they can
communicate directly through signal extenders (radio repeaters) without the need
for a central control center, unlike cellular or other mobile wireless
communication systems. If the handsets are farther apart, they can communicate
through signal extenders (radio repeaters) and network extenders (connectors to
the public telephone network)
that relay the call to destination handsets, also eliminating the need for a
central call control center. The internal network also has the capability of
communicating with outside telephone networks, such as existing public telephone
systems, satellite communication systems, or emergency radio or paging systems.
The Time Shared Full Duplex wireless transmission system has been proven to
operate effectively in laboratory tests performed in late 1998 through early
1999. This initial "Proof of Concept" system transmitted data at a lower rate
than the technology currently in development and was only in single channel
form. Expenditures by Direct Wireless Corporation for this phase were
$381,711.00.
To reach higher data transmission rates and greater reliability than were
achieved in the initial prototype, the wireless program was moved to Southwest
Research Institute, a large research and design company located in San Antonio,
Texas, which is not affiliated with Direct Wireless Corporation, where a
complete systems specification analysis was completed over a 12 weeks period in
late 1999 through early 2000 for a cost to Direct Wireless Corporation of
$338,797.97. The systems specification analysis is a document demonstrating that
from the scientific standpoint the system will work as designed and that the
patented technology can be developed from components currently available. Based
on the system specification analysis it prepared, Southwest Research Institute
has now proposed a contract to Direct Wireless Corporation for the completion
and testing of a new prototype and market ready system capable of the higher
transmission rates.
When compared to currently deployed personal wireless communications systems
that broadcast at data rates of up to 28 kilobits per second, the quality of the
Direct Wireless Time Shared Full Duplex technology is expected to be superior.
The Method of data transmission covered by Direct Wireless Corporation patents
can reach speeds of up to 200 kilobits per second through the handsets. The more
data that can be transmitted in a wireless phone call, the higher quality the
signal and the better the sound a person hears. Also, because of the patented
broadcasting methods, cell towers do not control the Direct Wireless phone call.
The quality of the wireless call is then designed to be higher due to less
electronic signal processing.
UNIQUENESS OF THE DIRECT WIRELESS CORPORATION TECHNOLOGY.
The method used today in the wireless communications industry evolved when the
wireless industry began to serve the public in the early 1980s. At that time no
computer chips were available that could be included in handsets; accordingly
the handsets, which are actually hand-held, bi-directional radios, had to be
controlled by electronic devices contained in control towers in order to make
sure that they stayed on the right frequencies and to prevent the overlapping of
conversations. The essential feature of this method was then, and is today, that
the tower controls all aspects of the wireless communication; the handset makes
no broadcast decisions. This traditional system, in place today, requires
control towers and control equipment that are expensive to build and makes it
economically impractical to provide wireless service to sparsely settled areas.
The Direct Wireless Corporation technology differs from all other wireless
communications systems because the handsets contain miniature computers that
allow the handset to make virtually all broadcast decisions, eliminating the
need for expensive towers and associated control equipment. The handsets can
communicate directly with one another through signal extenders, or the range of
their signals can be extended through the use of inexpensive towers that do not
have to contain expensive control equipment. As a result, wireless service can
be provided economically to sparsely settled and remote areas.
THE LICENSING AGREEMENT WITH DIRECT WIRELESS CORPORATION.
The technology licensing agreement under which we have acquired the rights to
market and sublicense the technology in the territory of the United States
provides that we shall pay to Direct Wireless Corporation an initial license fee
of 1,448,425 shares of our common stock (10,138,975 as adjusted for a subsequent
7-1 stock split) and the sum of ten million dollars. The shares of common stock
were delivered to Direct Wireless Corporation on September 26, 2001 and
distributed by that company on October 17, 2001 as a stock dividend to its
stockholders of record on May 15, 2001. We have already paid Direct Wireless
Corporation $224,539. The remaining $9,775,461 must be paid according to the
terms of the license agreement, which requires us to pay on a quarterly basis
sixty percent (60%) of the all our revenues until the license fee is paid in
full. In addition to the initial license fee, we must also pay a royalty in the
amount of thirty percent of all royalty fees we receive from marketing or
sublicensing the technology. The technology license agreement is for an initial
term of ten (10) years. Direct Wireless Corporation has two (2) renewal options
of ten (10) years each.
Direct Wireless Corporation may terminate the technology license agreement upon
the occurrence of any of the following events:
o we fail to make timely payments of royalties;
o we dissolve, cease active business operations, liquidate or become bankrupt;
o our management changes from the current management.
These provisions of the technology license agreement effectively prevent any
hostile takeover by means of a proxy solicitation, a tender offer for our stock
or any other device, so during the term of the technology agreement we will
remain under control of the management of Direct Wireless Corporation.
OUR EMPLOYEES.
At present our employees are our officers and directors, who are also officers
and directors of Direct Wireless Corporation. Bill Williams and Robert Braswell
expect to devote 70% of their time to our business. When we begin business
operations it will be necessary to hire additional personnel. We do not
anticipate any difficulties in hiring appropriate persons.
ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY.
We share approximately 1,100 square feet of office space at 2068 N. Valley Mills
Dr. Waco, Texas 76710 with Direct Wireless Corporation. The monthly rental is
$672.00, which is paid by Direct Wireless Corporation. We believe that the
facilities we share are adequate for the foreseeable future. At the present
time, we do not own any communications equipment. Direct Wireless Communication
Inc. records $425 per month in administrative fees, which includes rent.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
None.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
None.
PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.
(a) Our common stock is traded on the OTC Bulletin Board; symbol DWCM. The range
of bids for our common stock, as reported on Bloomberg.com during the quarter
ended December 31, 2002, was a high of $0.10 and a low of $0.02.
(b) At December 31, 2002, there were 379 holders of record of our common stock.
(c) We have not paid any cash dividends since inception.
ITEM 6. PLAN OF OPERATION.
At the present time, our cash requirements for operations are limited. We
currently pay no cash compensation to our officers and directors. We are using
office space provided at no charge by Direct Wireless Corporation.
Our present plans are to make a private placement of our common stock to
accredited investors under Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of
1933 to raise funds to pay Direct Wireless Corporation for the purpose of
conducting field tests of the electronic components and circuitry specified in
the completed systems specification analysis. To begin any operations, however,
it will be necessary for us to raise additional funds in the next twelve months.
Management also recognizes the current market conditions and will in addition to
the above seek to acquire or merge with an operating company in order to enhance
shareholder value become an operating company and take advantage of current
economic conditions to add value to under priced profitable companies.
After field tests have begun, we intend to make a public offering of our common
stock to raise enough capital to permit us to pay Direct Wireless Corporation
the remaining amount of the initial license fee for the purpose of completing
and testing a prototype of the system. We expect that the field tests and the
final phase of the testing can be completed within the next twelve months.
While Direct Wireless Corporation completes development of the new
pre-production prototype, we will begin negotiations with prospective licensees
and manufacturers in preparation for the performance testing and the
manufacturing of the production systems and handsets. We expect this process to
take the next six to eight months to complete all the tasks necessary for a
successful demonstration of the technology. Once this phase of the development
is complete, we will concentrate our efforts for the next four months on
negotiating and signing contracts with licensees for territories and for
equipment purchases. Down payments on any contracts signed will represent the
first income from operations for the company.
We do not expect to perform any product research and development or purchase any
plant or significant equipment in the next twelve months. However, before
marketing operations begin, we expect to employ personnel with marketing
experience.
OUR MARKETING STRATEGY.
Many regions in the United States are too sparsely settled to justify the
expense of central call control centers required for cellular and other wireless
technology. Because the Direct Wireless Corporation technology needs no central
control center it is particularly suited to operate in these remote or isolated
areas. We intend to market the technology in rural areas of the United States
that have limited cellular service or no wireless services of any kind. Rural,
as defined by the Office of Management and Budget in Washington, D.C., and
accepted for use by the U.S. Census and other government agencies, is generally
defined as non-metropolitan areas of open country where less than 2,500 persons
live. According to the 1990 United States census, 23% of the population was
accountable to rural, non-metropolitan areas. This figure appears to be on the
rise: according to the 1998 World Bank Economic Indicators, 34%, or 62 million
people then lived in non-metropolitan, rural areas of the United States.
We intend to market and sublicense the technology to existing service providers
who desire to extend their service to these sparsely settled areas or to public
utility companies that have customers in these areas and desire to provide
wireless services to their existing customers. We do not intend to begin
marketing activities until it appears that the field tests and final tests of
the technology will be successfully completed. At that time, we will employ any
sales personnel necessary to present to existing providers of cellular and other
telephone services the opportunity to extend their services to sparsely
populated areas their services have not yet reached.
Under this marketing strategy we do not expect much competition from established
cellular and/or other service providers, which are primarily located in urban
markets and cannot afford to enter these rural markets because of the high cost
of their equipment. Moreover, the company is not aware of any other existing
technologies that would allow established cellular service providers to expand
their services economically into sparsely settled or rural areas.
Furthermore, we will not be required to apply for separate licenses from the
Federal Communications Commission. The technology does not set any requirements
for pre-assigned licenses from the Federal Communications Commission. Direct
Wireless Corporation has represented that the handsets may be manufactured to
function normally on cellular and other wireless communication licensed
frequencies where enough signal space and unoccupied licenses are available, as
well as in ranges where no Federal Communications Commission licenses are
required. Accordingly, the technology may be used by any existing service
provider that has existing licenses and wishes to extend the nature of its
services.

Note A - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
---------------------------------------------------
NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND DESCRIPTION OF DEVELOPMENT STAGE ACTIVITIES
Direct Wireless Communications, Inc. (the Company) has been in the development
stage since the date of incorporation on April 6, 2001. The Company is primarily
engaged in the activity of developing technology for a wireless telephone
system. On May 15, 2001, the Company entered into a Technology Licensing
Agreement with Direct Wireless Corporation (Direct Wireless). Under this
agreement, Direct Wireless was granted a license to market and/or sublicense in
the United States the wireless telephone communications technology on which
Direct Wireless holds the patents. The Company has not yet begun operations.
Upon completion of the working prototype telephone employing the technology, the
Company intends to market and sublicense the technology primarily to existing
service providers who desire to extend their services to sparsely settled areas
or to public utilities who have customers in such areas and desire to provide
wireless services to them.
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared on the accrual basis
of accounting. As such, revenue is recognized as earned and expenses are
recorded when accrued. This basis of accounting conforms to generally accepted
accounting principles.
BASIS FOR ASSIGNING AMOUNTS TO EQUITY SECURITIES ISSUED FOR OTHER THAN CASH
Shares of common stock issued to individuals and/or companies for other than
cash have been assigned amounts equal to the fair value of the service provided
or the fair value of the shares of the Company issued, whichever was most
readily determinable.
CASH FLOWS
For the purpose of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents represent
funds deposited in banks and investments maturing within three months.
USE OF ESTIMATES
Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements.
Those estimates and assumptions effect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported
revenue and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
