PART I Introductory Statement ---------------------- All statements contained herein that are not historical facts, including but not limited to, statements regarding the Company's current business strategy, the Company's projected sources and uses of cash, and the Company's plans for future development and operations, are based upon current expectations. These statements are forward-looking in nature and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are the following: the availability of sufficient capital to finance our business plans on terms satisfactory to us; competitive factors; changes in labor, equipment and capital costs; changes in regulations affecting our business; future acquisitions or strategic partnerships; general business and economic conditions; and factors described from time to time in the reports filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which statements are made pursuant to the Private Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and, as a result, are pertinent only as of the date made. All of the share price information presented herein has been adjusted to reflect the 1 for 1,000 reverse split of our outstanding common stock effective August 23, 2002. ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Introduction In February of 1997, Worldwide Wireless, Inc., a Nevada corporation, was formed to coordinate the operations of TSI Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and National Micro Vision Systems, Inc., a Nevada corporation. Its purpose was to complete the development of its patented advanced distributed wireless telephone and network designs and to finance, manufacture, and market these units and systems. TSI Technologies, Inc. was the research and development company formed for the purpose of creating and developing the distributed wireless call processing system. National Micro Vision Systems, Inc. was formed to operate a network of wireless Internet sites. In April of 1998, Worldwide Wireless, Inc., TSI Technologies, Inc. and National Micro Vision Systems, Inc. acquired Upland Properties, Inc., a Nevada corporation, for stock and transferred their assets to Upland Properties, Inc. Upland Properties, Inc. then changed its name to World Wide Wireless Communications, Inc. and began trading on the OTC Bulletin Board (OTC:BB)under the symbol WLGS. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002, we moved our offices from Oakland, California to Miami Beach, Florida and changed our name to Universal Communication Systems, Inc. We then changed our OTC:BB symbol to UCSI (and after our one-to-one-thousand reverse stock split, to UCSY). 3

On November 1, 2001, we changed management. On June 12, 2002, we entered into a letter of intent to acquire Card Universal Corporation, Inc., a privately held development stage Florida corporation in the business of providing and marketing prepaid "Stored Money Cards." Management is currently evaluating its options as to the future plans for the Company, its operations and assets. Our strategy We will require short-term outside investment on a continuing basis to finance our current operations and capital expenditures. If we do not obtain short term financing we may not be able to continue as a viable concern. We do not have a bank line of credit and there can be no assurance that any required or desired financing will be available through bank borrowings, debt, or equity offerings, or otherwise, on acceptable terms. If future financing requirements are satisfied through the issuance of equity securities, investors may experience significant dilution in the net book value per share of common stock. Under the auspices of new management, we have made considerable progress in restructuring prior obligations and removing debt. We are actively engaged in a number of efforts to revise our business plan to develop new revenue sources and direction for the Company. We plan to de-emphasize our participation in the wireless internet market, sell assets for cash and/or advance our remaining businesses through joint ventures, continue our negotiations with creditors to compromise, extend, convert and/or forgive debt, and seek new businesses that can take advantage of our extensive shareholder base and status as a public company. On February 10, 2000 we acquired all of the shares of Digital Way, S.A., a Peruvian telecommunications company. In June of 2001, we received a notice of default from the sellers of Digital Way, claiming a breach of the terms of our purchase agreement. On May 10, 2002, we executed a settlement agreement with those sellers. Under the terms of the agreement, we re-aligned the stock ownership of Digital Way, by returning 73% of the common shares owned by us to the former owners. In addition, we retained a 50% interest in the first $6.2 million of equity value of Digital Way, in the event of a sale or other disposition. Any value beyond the first $6.2 million will be divided based on shareholdings. Our chairman, Michael Zwebner, remains on the Board of Directors of Digital Way, S. A. The settlement agreement fully cancels all debts, claims and counter claims between us and the sellers, and allows for future co- operation in the ongoing development or sale of Digital Way. Although we have reached this settlement, management of Digital Way has not provided the necessary financial information for Digital Way to be included in our financial reporting, and the results of the Company's investment in Digital Way is unclear at this time. The Company has fully impaired this investment. 4

In early 2000, we entered into a joint venture with World T.V. Communication Co. Ltd., a Thai corporation, to provide high speed, wireless, broadband internet and related services in Bangkok and other major areas in Thailand. World T.V. Communication Co. Ltd., currently owns frequencies in Bangkok and throughout "up-country" Thailand. In May 2001, our partners in Thailand expressed concerns about our ability to satisfy our contractual obligations under their respective contracts. Due to our present financial condition as outlined above, we are unable to fulfill these obligations. The Company has abandoned what interest it has in Thailand. We previously applied for licenses in the 3.5 GHz range in Germany and the Czech Republic. We had also entered into a joint venture to develop internet access in India. We are no longer pursuing these markets. Although we initiated negotiations with businesses in Puerto Rico and Portugal in 1999, no further negotiations or affiliations are currently pending in those areas. On July 20, 2001, WSI, Inc., a Puerto Rican corporation, and its principal officer and shareholder Howard Hager, filed suit against the Company in the U.S. District Court in Puerto Rico for breach of contract and damages in the amount of $4,675,000. The claims arise out of an alleged agreement on the part of the Company to acquire WSI and provide it with substantial financing. A default judgment was entered in WSI's favor. On November 26, 2002 a settlement agreement was reached with Mr. Hager and the trustee in bankruptcy for WSI. Under the agreement, we issued $200,000 in value of shares of common stock, which are restricted from sale for a one-year period. In addition to the stock, $50,000 will be paid to the trustee of WSI in two installments of $25,000 each, and a two year consulting contract, valued at $120,000, has been signed with Mr. Hager. The settlement has a total cost of $370,000. Patents/Intellectual Property We have received patent number 6,055,429 from the United States Patent and Trademark Office for our distributed wireless call processing system. The major feature of this system is that it allows individual cell phones and other communication units to amplify signals, thereby reducing the need for repeater stations. The system allows every handset itself to serve as a mobile, low-power repeater site, and each unit facilitates the operation of the entire local network within a radius of 10-20 miles. A whole continent populated with these units would theoretically have no need for infrastructure support of any kind. In practice, we or parties to whom we license the system will build widely scattered gateway sites that will serve to introduce local signals into long lines, international and satellite service providers and introduce data signals into destination networks while providing a medium for our generation of an ongoing revenue stream. We are looking to license this technology to a third party developer in order to potentially create a royalty stream of income. However, we cannot guarantee that we will enter into such an agreement. We do not have other patents pending pertaining to other technologies. Employees As of January 14, 2003, we had no full time employees in the United States. 5

ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY We own no real estate. Effective February 1, 2002, we leased a 1400 square foot corporate and administrative office facility at 407 Lincoln Road, Suite 6K, Miami Beach, FL 33139. The lease provides for a three-year term. The lease terms call for a monthly rent of $2,300 for the initial six months, $2,600 per month for the following six months and $3,300 thereafter. The lease may be cancelled with ninety days notice after the first year. ITEM 3. LEGAL MATTERS On August 26, 1999, we filed suit against Credit Bancorp, in U.S. District Court in San Francisco, regarding improprieties on the part of Credit Bancorp relating to a loan. The case was settled on October 11, 1999. As part of the settlement agreement, Credit Bancorp agreed to convert the original loans granted to us to a convertible debenture in the amount of $740,000. On October 11, 1999, we issued a convertible unsecured debenture for $740,000 to Credit Bancorp in settlement of this obligation. The terms of this convertible unsecured debenture are 7% interest per annum payable, semiannually on the last day of February and September, with the principal due September 30, 2002. All amounts of unpaid principal and accrued interest of this debenture are convertible at any time at the conversion price of $1,600 per share of unregistered, restricted shares of our common stock. Credit Bancorp has agreed to convert principal and accrued interest owing on the debenture into 483 shares of our common stock. In November 1999, the SEC filed suit against Credit Bancorp alleging violations of various securities laws in connection with its actions in relation to us and others, and seeking various forms of relief including disgorgement of its illegal gains. A receiver has been appointed to administer the affairs of Credit Bancorp. We have been informed that the appointed receiver denies that such a conversion request was made and the Company may be subject to further liability. The Securities and Exchange Commission commenced an informal inquiry on the Company in August, 2000. We have voluntarily complied with their requests for information and we intend to fully cooperate with the inquiry. No further requests have been made since that date. In December 1999, we entered into an amended lease agreement regarding a lease for the license covering Concord, California and the surrounding area. We have received a Notice of Default from the lessor. The Notice of Default is based on a requirement in the amended agreement that the balance of the purchase price for the assignment of the license be paid by December 1, 2000. Our management has been advised by counsel that payment of the balance of the purchase price prior to the FCC's consent to the assignment of the license may constitute a premature assignment in violation of the FCC's rules. The assignment application has not been filed with the FCC for the FCC to make a definitive ruling on this issue. At this point, no formal legal action has been taken by the lessor. We are no longer pursuing the license or the lease of the facility. 6

On July 20, 2001, WSI, Inc., a Puerto Rican corporation, and its principal officer and shareholder Howard Hager, filed suit against the Company in the U.S. District Court in Puerto Rico for breach of contract and damages in the amount of $4,675,000. The claims arise out of an alleged agreement on the part of the Company to acquire WSI and provide it with substantial financing. As previously noted, we reached a settlement with all parties on November 26, 2002. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS No matters were submitted during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year covered by this report to a vote of the security holders through the solicitation of proxies or otherwise. PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS Prior to April 3, 2002, our common stock was traded on the over the counter Bulletin Board market under the symbol "WLGS". From April 4, 2002 through August 22, 2002 our common stock was traded on the over the counter Bulletin Board market under the symbol "UCSI". From August 23, 2002 to the present, our common stock is trading on the over the counter Bulletin Board market under the symbol "UCSY". The following table sets forth the range of high and low closing bid prices for each period indicated as reported by the National Association of Securities Dealers composite feed or other qualified interdealer quotation medium.

Since our shares began trading on the OTC Bulletin Board in 1997, the prices for our shares have fluctuated widely. There may be many factors which may explain these variations, but we believe that the following are some of these factors: o the demand for our common stock; o the number of market makers for our common stock; o developments in the market for broadband Internet access and wireless transmission in particular; and o changes in the performance of the stock market in general. In recent years, the stock market has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have had a substantial effect on the market prices for many telecommunications, Internet and emerging growth companies such as ours, which may be unrelated to the operating performances of the specific companies. Companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their stock have been the object of securities class action litigation. If we become the object of securities class action litigation, it could result in substantial costs and a diversion of our management's attention and resources and have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, holders of shares of our common stock could suffer substantial losses as a result of fluctuations and declines in the stock price. There are approximately 358 holders of record and an estimated 12,000 holders in street name of our common stock as of September 30, 2002. The trading of our shares is subject to limitations set forth in Rule 15g-9 of the Securities Exchange Act. This rule imposes sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell so-called penny stocks to persons other than established customers, accredited investors or institutional investors. Accredited investors are generally defined to include individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 together with their spouses during the previous two years and expected annual income of that amount during the current year. For sales of shares to other persons, broker-dealers must make special suitability determinations, and obtain the written consent of the purchaser to the sale prior to consummating the sale and are generally prohibited from making cold-calls or other unsolicited inquiries to purchasers without complying with these rules. These rules may adversely affect the ability of broker-dealers and others to sell our shares or to sell shares in the secondary market. No cash dividends have been declared to date on our Company's common stock. We expect that all earnings, if any, will be retained to finance the growth of our Company and that no cash dividends will be paid for the foreseeable future. On May 21, 2002, stockholders approved a measure to increase the number of authorized common shares from 300 million to 800 million. Sales of Unregistered Securities -------------------------------- We have issued and sold unregistered securities as set forth below. 8
10KSB9th Page of 50TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 9th
On February 21, 2002, the Company issued 13,254 shares in settlement of an advance received November 1, 2001, in the amount of $40,000 pursuant to the Company's draw-down notice to Grenville Finance Ltd. in connection with the common stock purchase agreement dated January 26, 2001, evidencing an equity draw down facility between the Company and Grenville Finance Ltd. Union Atlantic, LC is due $3,600 as a placement fee on this transaction. These securities were issued in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. On June 17, 2002, the Company issued 20,000 shares in settlement of advances received during fiscal year ended September 30, 2001, in the amount of $93,500. These shares were issued in connection with the common stock purchase agreement dated January 26, 2001, evidencing an equity draw down facility between the Company and Grenville Finance Ltd. The Company has not been provided with settlement information necessary to determine the pricing period of the equity draw down. These securities were issued in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. In addition, we have issued and sold unregistered securities that have not previously been reported as set forth below. An underwriter was not utilized in any of these transactions. The recipients of securities in each transaction represented their intention to acquire the securities without a view to distribution. All the issued securities were restricted securities under Rule 144, Reg. D or Reg. S regulations, and appropriate restrictive legends were affixed to the securities in each transaction. On April 25, 2002, we issued 11,000 shares of common stock under private placement subscriptions at $3.18 per share, based on the average closing price for the three days prior to April 25, 2002, at a 25 percent discount. These securities were issued in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 in reliance on Sections 4(2) and 4(6) of the Securities Act of 1933. ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS The following should be read in conjunction with the "Risk Factors" and the "Financial Statements" and the Notes thereto. Current Financial Condition and New Management ---------------------------------------------- We will require short-term outside investment on a continuing basis to finance our current operations and capital expenditures. If we do not obtain short term financing we may not be able to continue as a viable concern. We do not have a bank line of credit and there can be no assurance that any required or desired financing will be available through bank borrowings, debt, or equity offerings, or otherwise, on acceptable terms. If future financing requirements are satisfied through the issuance of equity securities, investors may experience significant dilution in the net book value per share of common stock. 9

In light of our current financial condition, we recently announced that we are actively engaged in a number of efforts to revise our business plan in order to develop a viable alternative in today's difficult funding environment. Following an extensive review of our assets, operations and capital structure and continuing conversations with our creditors and staff, we have come to the conclusion that we will be best served by a redirection of our strategic plan. We plan to de-emphasize our participation in the wireless internet market, sell assets for cash, continue our negotiations with creditors to compromise, extend, convert and/or forgive debt, and move forward through joint ventures or seek new businesses that can take advantage of our extensive shareholder base and status as a public company. All these activities will require capital and management. If we cannot successfully integrate a new business plan in the near future, our current financial condition may dictate more drastic alternatives including, but not limited to, suspending operations or filing for court protection. As previously noted, we have recently changed management and entered into a letter of intent to acquire Card Universal Corporation, Inc. Management is currently evaluating its options as to the future plans for the company, its operations and assets. Results of Operations --------------------- We did not generate any revenues during fiscal 2002 and 2001. However, our Peruvian subsidiary had revenues which are not reported as a result of a lack of cooperation from our subsidiary's management. We are currently in negotiations with our prior partners in India. Because we are not certain how these negotiations will conclude, we have recognized an impairment loss for the remaining deposits paid. On November 1, 2001, we signed a non-binding letter of intent to acquire Hard Disc Cafe, Inc., a privately held Florida corporation which intended to develop and license themed internet cafes. On August 4, 2002, Hard Disc Caf, Inc. ceased all operations. All parties agreed to unwind the transaction. In connection with this transaction, we had advanced a total of $146,154 to Hard Disc Caf, Inc. Of this amount, we anticipate receiving $35,456 and accordingly we recorded a loss of $110,698 on these advances in 2002. General and administrative expenses were reduced from $6,502,509 in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2001 to $807,033 in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002. This reduction was a result of the Company's reducing expenses, as it re-evaluates its business plan and ceases its active pursuit of MMDS licenses and frequency spectrum throughout the world. 10
10KSB11th Page of 50TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 11th
General and administrative expenses for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 were comprised of the following items: 2002 2001 ---- ---- Consultants and outside services $ 484,843 $ 914,540 Depreciation 22,036 349,097 Engineering - 107,221 FCC licensing and site expenses 1,338 127,627 Financing costs and fund raising expense 5,501 2,547,269 Insurance - 139,190 Legal expense 85,059 494,930 Miscellaneous and other expenses 27,644 361,936 Professional fees 91,570 386,131 Rent 37,462 163,026 Salaries 14,614 523,582 Telephone 5,924 89,186 Travel 31,042 298,774 --------- --------- $ 807,033 $6,502,509 Financing costs and fund raising expenses of $2,547,269 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2001, included penalties paid to bond holders in the amount of $2,128,000 for failure to meet the covenants and conditions of the debt instruments. Liquidity and Capital Resources ------------------------------- As of September 30, 2002 our total working capital was deficient in the amount of $2,151,285. Because we have not received any revenues from operations and do not anticipate receiving any revenues in the near term from operations, we will need to obtain substantial funding from external sources over the next twelve months to finance our current operations. Since we began operations, we have generated virtually no revenues and have incurred substantial expenditures and operating losses. We expect to continue to experience losses from operations while we develop our new business plan. In view of this fact, our auditors have stated in their report for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002 that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, dependent upon our ability to meet our future financing requirements, and the success of our future operations, the outcome of which cannot be determined at this time. In order to finance our working capital requirements, we are currently negotiating equity investments with several sophisticated investors, but there can be no assurance that we will obtain this capital or that it will be obtained on terms favorable to us. If we do not obtain short term financing we may not be able to continue as a viable concern. We do not have a bank line of credit and there can be no assurance that any required or desired financing will be available through bank borrowings, debt, or equity offerings, or otherwise, on acceptable terms. If future financing requirements are satisfied through the issuance of equity securities, investors may experience significant dilution in the net book value per share of common stock. During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, we received equity investments and advances of $383,291 and $3,747,681 respectively. These investments and advances were in the form of issuance of our common stock and debentures in various private placements plus loans from related parties. We have obtained financing primarily from the following sources, and believe that our primary source of financing during the next 12 months will come from similar sources. 11

On April 14, 2000, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with six investors, for the purchase of investment units, consisting of common stock, common stock purchase warrants, 4% subordinated debentures and preferred stock, all of which are described below. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, these investors purchased 760 shares of common stock, warrants to purchase 3,600 shares of common stock and subordinated debentures with a principal amount of $3,280,000 for a total price of $4,800,000. On August 10, 2000, we agreed with the investors to modify certain terms of the earlier funding agreement. Under the new terms of this agreement, we issued an additional 1,368 shares of common stock to the investors, in exchange for $1,920,000 and the investors' forbearance of certain rights under the original agreement. The conversion price of the subordinated debentures was amended to the lesser of 110% of the average per share market value for the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding the original issue date and 85% of the average per share market value for the five consecutive trading days immediately prior to the conversion date. We also agreed to change the floor price to $1,000 for the period between August 10, 2000 and October 14, 2000, $640 for the period between October 14, 2000 and April 14, 2001, and zero thereafter. Furthermore, the exercise price of the warrants to purchase our shares was changed to $2,000 per share. On November 15, 2000, the investors agreed to modify the transaction documents in accordance with our request and agreed to waive any breach of the original Securities Purchase Agreement and the first amendment by us which occurred prior to the closing date of this Second Amendment. In consideration for these concessions, we agreed to increase the principal amount of the debentures held by the investors to $6,720,000 and to issue 3,996 additional restricted shares of common stock to the investors. The investors have returned to the Company 760 previously issued shares of common stock in exchange for the issuance of new debenture certificates reflecting the increase in the principal amount. Under this agreement, the selling shareholders may convert the debentures at a conversion price equal to the lesser of $640.00 per common share and an amount equal to 85% of the average of the closing trading prices of the common stock for the five consecutive trading days immediately prior to the conversion. The conversion price is not subject to a floor price. The investors have waived any previous breach by us of the Registration Rights Agreement or of the original Securities Purchase Agreement. We signed a common stock purchase agreement with Grenville Finance Ltd. dated January 26, 2001 for the future issuance and purchase of our common stock. The common stock purchase agreement establishes what is sometimes termed an equity line of credit or an equity draw-down facility. Grenville Finance Ltd. committed up to $50 million to purchase our common stock over a twenty-four month period. Once every 22 trading days, we may request a draw down of up to $1,500,000 of the committed money, subject to a formula based on the average common stock price and average trading volume, setting the maximum amount of any request for any given draw down. Each draw-down must be at least $50,000, and there must be a seven-trading-day waiting period between draw-downs. The amount of money that Grenville Finance Ltd. will provide to us, and the number of shares we will issue to Grenville Finance Ltd. in return for that money, is settled twice during a 22-day trading period following the draw-down request based on the formula in the common stock purchase agreement. Grenville Finance Ltd. will receive a fifteen-percent discount to the volume weighted average stock price for that 22-day period. We will receive the amount of the draw down less an escrow agent fee of $750 for each draw down amount and an 8% placement 12

fee payable to the placement agent, Union Atlantic, LC, which introduced us to Grenville Finance Ltd. In addition, Grenville Finance Ltd. will receive a three year warrant to purchase up to 15,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $265.00 per share. We may not be able to draw down at all if we fail to meet certain preconditions set out in the equity line of credit agreement. On February 11, 2001, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with two investors for the purchase of 4,000 shares of common stock we offered at $125.00 per share through a Post Effective Amendment to our Form SB-2 Registration Statement. The total purchase price was $500,000. On March 29, 2001, we entered into a Senior Secured Convertible Debentures and Warrants Purchase Agreement with several investors. The investors agreed to purchase $750,000 principal amount of 8% convertible debentures and we agreed to issue warrants to purchase 50 shares of common stock for each $100,000 principal amount purchased by the investors and issued warrants to purchase a total of 375 shares. The exercise price on the warrants shall be 115% of the average of the five closing bid prices immediately prior to March 29, 2001. The term of the warrants is for three years. Under the agreement, we also agreed to remove the floor price on the 4% convertible debentures previously issued and to decrease the price of the warrants to $101.20. On June 7, 2001 the Company and several investors agreed to amend the March 29, 2001 Senior Secured Convertible Debentures and Warrants Purchase Agreement. The investors agreed to purchase $200,000 principal amount of 8% senior convertible debentures. The Company also agreed to issue letter warrants to purchase up to $125,000 divided by 85% of the average of the three lowest bid prices during the 22 trading days prior to June 7, 2001. On September 27, 2001 the Company and several investors agreed to amend the March 29, 2001 Senior Secured Convertible Debentures and Warrants Purchase Agreement. The investors agreed to purchase $60,000 principal amount of 8% senior convertible debentures. No warrants were involved in this amendment to the Senior Secured Convertible Debentures and Warrants Purchase Agreement. On February 15, 2002 the Company and several investors agreed to amend the March 29, 2001 Senior Secured Convertible Debentures and Warrants Purchase Agreement. The investors agreed to purchase $180,000 principal amount of 8% senior convertible debentures. No warrants were involved in this amendment to the Senior Secured Convertible Debentures and Warrants Purchase Agreement. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002, the Company sold 45,254 shares of its common stock for net cash proceeds of $173,500. The Company issued 4,898,636 shares of common stock in conversion of outstanding debentures for an aggregate value of $2,616,436. The Company also issued 584,011 shares of its common stock for services at an aggregate value of $573,485. Stock issued for services was at the reported market price for the shares at the time of issuance. 13

Plan of Operations ------------------ We are considering alternatives to our present business strategy, which include, but are not limited to, modifications of our business plan and the possible sale or licensing of certain assets. Specific components of the modified new business plan could include a significant reduction in our selling, general and administrative expenses, additional equity investment, recapitalization and additions to the current management of the company. We cannot provide assurance that implementing the modified business plan, even with the successful execution of all the components of the new plan, will lead the Company to profitability. Due to the substantial operating losses previously incurred and the current projected future operating losses, we will require new sources of funding in the form of equity or debt financing in order to execute our current business plan. However, there is no certainty that additional financing of any kind will be forthcoming in amounts sufficient to allow the Company to continue to operate its business. As of January 14, 2003, we are unable to pay normal operating expenses and we are currently in the process of negotiating partial payments in exchange for an agreement to forbear collections and stay litigation. Management is hopeful that it can continue to reach agreements with vendors and foreign partners to resolve disputes and balances due. Management hopes that once these issues are dealt with and the acquisition of Card Universal Corporation is consummated, this will provide for the financial stability of the Company. No assurances can be made that these events will successfully take place. Management expects to meet minimal operating expenses during this period, through a combination of loans, sale of assets and private placement funds. Risk Factors ------------ - We will require additional capital in the short term to remain a going concern We will require short term outside investment on a continuing basis to finance our current operations and any expansion of activities. Since we began operations, we have generated virtually no revenues and have incurred substantial expenditures. We expect to continue to experience losses from operations while we develop new revenue sources, consummate acquisitions and develop other technologies. In view of this fact, our auditors have stated in their report for the period ended September 30, 2002 that our ability to meet our future financing requirements, and the success of our future operations, cannot be determined at this time. In order to finance our working capital requirements we are negotiating existing equity investments and new investments, but there can be no assurance that we will obtain this capital or that it will be obtained on terms favorable to us. If we do not obtain short term financing we may not be able to continue as a viable concern. We do not have a bank line of credit and there can be no assurance that any required or desired financing will be available through bank borrowings, debt, or equity offerings, or otherwise, on acceptable terms. If future financing requirements are satisfied through the issuance of equity securities, investors may experience significant dilution in the net book value per share of common stock. 14

- Our new distributed wireless call processing system technology is unproven and may not function as anticipated. Our distributed wireless call processing system technology remains in the development phase and we have not yet developed a fully functional prototype of that technology. We cannot be certain when we will be able to complete development of that system and whether that system will work in the manner anticipated when development is completed. Furthermore, we cannot be certain whether the system will receive substantial market acceptance assuming that it is developed. For these reasons, although we believe that our distributed wireless call process system is promising, an investor should not assume that the system will be available or will contribute positively to our business prospects or financial condition. We are subject to the requirements that we receive regulatory approvals from those countries in which we do business, the delay or denial of which can reduce our revenues and adversely affect our foreign operations. 15

- We are dependent on the services of key individuals and the loss of any of these individuals could significantly affect our ability to operate our business - We may be unable to protect our intellectual property rights Our success depends in part on our ability to protect our proprietary technologies. We rely on a combination of patent, copyright and trademark laws, trade secrets and confidentiality and other contractual provisions to establish and protect our proprietary rights. We have received one patent from the United States Patent and Trademark Office pertaining to the distributed wireless call processing system and may file for additional patents in the future. However, our patents may not be of sufficient scope or strength, others may independently develop similar technologies or products, duplicate any of our products or design around our patents, and the patents may not provide us competitive advantages. Litigation, which could result in substantial costs and diversion of effort by us, may also be necessary to enforce any patents issued or licensed to us or to determine the scope and validity of third-party proprietary rights. Any such litigation, regardless of outcome, could be expensive and time consuming, and adverse determinations in any such litigation could seriously harm our business. We have not yet sought patent protection for the distributed wireless call processing system in any country other than the United States, nor have we sought to register our trademarks in those countries in which we currently do or intend to do business. The laws of other countries vary with respect to intellectual property protection, and some jurisdictions may provide substantially less protection than those of the United States. As a consequence, our ability to protect our intellectual property and prevent competitors from using our intellectual property may be much more limited. 16

- Other risk issues We have pursued, are currently pursuing and, in the future may pursue, new technologies and businesses internally and through acquisitions and combinations which involve significant risks. Any such acquisition or combination may involve, among other things, the issuance of equity securities, the payment of cash, the incurrence of contingent liabilities and the amortization of expenses related to goodwill and other intangible assets, and transaction costs, which have adversely affected, or may adversely affect, our business' results of operations and financial condition. Our ability to integrate and organize any new businesses and/or products, whether internally developed or obtained by acquisition or combination, will likely require significant expansion of our operations. There is no assurance that we will have or be able to obtain the necessary resources to satisfactorily effect such expansion, and the failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition future acquisitions and or combinations by the Company involve risks of, among other things, entering markets or segments in which we have no or limited prior experience, the potential loss of key employees of the acquired company and/or difficulty, delay or failure in the integration of the operations, management, personnel and business of any such new business with our business and operating and financial difficulties of any new or newly combined operations, any of which could have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, there can be no assurance that the anticipated benefits of any specific acquisition or of any internally developed new business segment or business combination will be realized. ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA See Index to Financial Statements on page F-1. ITEM 8.

Insofar as indemnification may be afforded for liabilities arising under the Securities Act, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Board of Directors Universal Communication Systems, Inc. February 6, 2003 Page 2 The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2, the Company has suffered recurring losses that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Realization of a major portion of the assets is dependent upon the Company's ability to meet its future financing requirements, and the success of future operations, the outcome of which cannot be determined at this time. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Reuben E.

Universal Communication Systems, Inc. Notes to the Financial Statements September 30, 2002 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Background ------------ The Company is actively engaged in efforts to revise its business plan, de-emphasize participation in the wireless internet market, and seek new business activities. Reclassification ----------------- Certain amounts from the year ended September 30, 2001, have been reclassified to agree with the presentation for the year ended September 30, 2002. Cash Equivalents ---------------- For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Balances in bank accounts may, from time to time, exceed federal insured limits. Fixed Assets ------------ Furniture, fixtures and equipment are depreciated over their useful lives of 5 to 10 years, using the straight-line method of depreciation. Leasehold improvements are amortized over a 5-year period that coincides with the initial period of the lease, using the straight-line method of amortization. Amortizable intangibles, consisting primarily of software, are amortized over a two year period. Long-Lived Assets ----------------- The Company reviews its long-lived assets on a quarterly basis to determine any impairment in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 144, which supersedes SFAS No 121, in the year ending September 30, 2003. The Company does not expect any material effect in its adoption. F-9

Universal Communication Systems, Inc. Notes to the Financial Statements September 30, 2002 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Estimates --------- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Fair Value of Financial Instruments ----------------------------------- For cash, cash equivalents, other assets, accounts payable, and accrued expenses, the carrying amounts in the Balance Sheet represent their fair market value. The carrying amount of the debentures payable approximates fair value because of similar current rates at which the Company could borrow funds with consistent remaining maturities. Segment Information ------------------- The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" (SFAS No. 131) in 1999. This statement establishes standards for the reporting of information about operating segments in annual and interim financial statements and requires restatement of prior year information. The Company has no reportable operating segments for the years ending September 30, 2002 and 2001. Comprehensive Income and Foreign Currency Translation ----------------------------------------------------- As of October 1, 1999 the Company adopted FASB Statement No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income. The financial statements of the Company's former foreign subsidiaries were measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities of these former subsidiaries were translated at exchange rates as of the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses were translated at average rates of exchange in effect during the year. The resulting cumulative translation adjustments were recorded as a separate component of stockholders' equity. Recent Accounting Pronouncements -------------------------------- The Company has adopted SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", and SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB No. 133", in the year ended September 30, 2001. These pronouncements establish methods of accounting for derivative financial instruments and hedging activities related to those instruments as well as other hedging activities. To date, the Company has not entered into any derivative financial instruments or hedging activities. F-10

Universal Communication Systems, Inc. Notes to the Financial Statements September 30, 2002 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) The Financial Accounting Standards Board has established the following new pronouncements, none of which will materially affect the Company: SFAS No. 134, "Accounting for Mortgage-Backed Securities Retained after the Securitization of Mortgage Loans Held for Sale by a Mortgage Banking Enterprise - an amendment of SFAS No. 65 (effective for fiscal quarters beginning after December 15, 1998)," SFAS No. 135, "Rescission of SFAS No. 75 and Technical Corrections (effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 1999)," SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of SFAS No. 133 - an amendment of SFAS No. 133 (effective June 1999)," SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities - an amendment of SFAS No. 133 (effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000)," SFAS No. 139, "Rescission of SFAS No. 53 and amendments to SFAS No. 63, 89, and 121 (effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2000)," SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities - a replacement of SFAS No. 125 (effective for certain disclosures for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2000)," SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations," which eliminates the pooling-of-interests method for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001, SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" (effective for fiscal years beginning after March 15, 2001), which enhances disclosure for these assets subsequent to their acquisition, SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations," which is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", which is effective January 1, 2002. SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of", and a portion of APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations". This statement provides a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of and significantly changes the criteria that would have to be met to classify an asset as held-for-sale. Classification as held-for-sale is an important distinction since such assets are not depreciated and are stated at the lower of fair value and carrying amount. This statement also requires expected future operating losses from discontinued operations to be displayed in the period(s) in which the losses are incurred, rather than as of the measurement date as presently required. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS No. 144 will have any effect on the Company's financial statement presentation or disclosures. In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities," which requires companies to recognize costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they are incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan. Such costs covered by the standard include lease termination costs and certain employee severance costs that are F-11
10KSB38th Page of 50TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 38th
Universal Communication Systems, Inc. Notes to the Financial Statements September 30, 2002 associated with a restructuring, discontinued operation, plant closing, or other exit or disposal activity. SFAS No. 146 replaces the previous accounting guidance provided by the Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." SFAS No. 146 is to be applied prospectively to exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS No. 146 will have any effect on the Company's financial statement presentation or disclosures. Reverse Stock Split ------------------- The Company completed a one-for-one-thousand reverse stock split on August 23, 2002. All share and per share information reflects this reverse stock split. Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share ------------------------------------ The calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share is in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share". NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN AND SIGNIFICANT RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES The Company's financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has experienced losses since inception, and had an accumulated deficit of $29,548,458 at September 30, 2002. Net losses are expected for the foreseeable future. As such, there is substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management is considering alternatives to its business strategy, including modifications of its business plan and possible sale or licensing of certain assets. Simultaneously, the Company is continuing to secure additional capital through sales of common stock through the current operating cycle. There is no assurance that management will be successful in its efforts. NOTE 3 - ACQUISITIONS Argentina --------- On December 31, 1999, the Company acquired a 51% interest in Infotel Argentina S.A., a Buenos Aires based company which owns Multi-channel Multipoint Distribution Service (MMDS) licenses in eight of the largest Argentine cities including Buenos Aires. The price was $1,500,000, made up of $900,000 in cash and $600,000 in Company stock. Infotel also engaged in telephone system integration and engineering projects. The F-12

Management recorded an impairment loss on the entire investment in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2001. Peru ---- On February 29, 2000, the Company purchased 100% of Digital Way S.A., a Peruvian telecommunications company. The price was $1,300,000, comprised of $400,000 in cash and $900,000 in Company stock. Digital Way S.A., holds MMDS licenses in the Lima-Callao area. It holds local and international long distance telephone licenses. In June of 2001, the Company received a notice of default from Digital Way, claiming breach of the terms of the Company's purchase agreement. The Company reached an agreement with Digital Way's management on May 10, 2002, and as part of the agreement relinquished 73% of the Digital Way stock. Although this agreement has been signed, Digital Way's accounts have not been made available to the Company. Management recognized an impairment of the Company's investment of $4,444,608 during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2001. India ----- In June 2000, the Company entered into an agreement with a group of Indian businessmen to establish a joint venture, World Wide Wireless Communications (India) Ltd., to establish fixed wireless data service in India. A deposit of $ 248,350 was posted with the Indian government as part of the process of applying for both frequency and internet service provider licenses. Management has recovered $70,694 of this deposit and has determined that the remaining amount cannot be recovered. Management has abandoned any further pursuit of business in India. Thailand -------- In May 2000, the Company entered into a joint venture with World Star T.V. Communication Co. Ltd. (WSTV), a Thai corporation, to provide fixed wireless data services in Thailand. WSTV currently owns frequency licenses in Bangkok and other major areas in Thailand. As of September 30, 2000, $146,662 was invested, and is shown as part of Deposits in Acquisition. In August 2000 the Company entered into a Letter of Intent with E-Z Net Co. Ltd. of Bangkok for E-Z Net to provide internet service provider services to the new joint venture. The required governmental approvals are pending. Due to uncertainties in the Company's F-13

El Salvador ----------- On March 11, 2000, the Company entered into a letter of intent with El Salvador Telecomuniciones S.A. de C.V. for the purpose of acquiring a 25% ownership interest in that company in El Salvador. Pursuant to the terms of the letter of intent, the Company paid $1,000,000 to that company as an advance payment of the purchase price, which was to total $3,500,000. The agreement provided that the purchase was conditioned upon the Company's acquisition of certain licenses, and the occurrence of certain other conditions that were not met. As a result, the Company was refunded the advance payment. Hard Disc Caf, Inc. -------------------- On November 1, 2001, the Company signed a non-binding letter of intent to acquire Hard Disk Cafe, Inc., a privately held Florida corporation which intended to develop and license themed internet cafes. Terms called for the Company to pay $1,250,000 in cash and 25 million shares of common stock. On August 4, 2002, management of the Hard Disc Caf, Inc. ceased all operations of the company.

Universal Communication Systems, Inc. Notes to the Financial Statements September 30, 2002 NOTE 4 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Litigation ---------- In November 1998, the Company and its predecessor affiliates filed an action against the lessor of its leases for the Concord and San Marcos, California multipoint distribution service channels. Thereafter, the lessor cross-complained against the Company and its predecessors alleging breach of contract. On December 9, 1999, a settlement agreement was signed, which provided for the Company to pay $87,375 to the lessor, in the fiscal years ended September 30 1998, 1999, and 2000. Under terms of the settlement agreement, the Company also had an option to purchase the Concord and San Marcos leases for a price of $250,000 each, less lease payments already made. The Company elected to exercise the option to purchase the Concord lease, and the appropriate transfer procedure has been initiated with the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) which is still pending. The Company believes that under current FCC regulations it is not required to pay the $250,000 purchase price until such time as the FCC has approved the transfer of the license. Management has abandoned the pursuit of these leases and licenses. The Company borrowed from Credit Bancorp $328,000 in August 1999 and $412,000 in October 1999. The terms of this loan are 7% interest per annum payable, semiannually on the last day of February and September, with the principal due September 30, 2002. On August 26, 1999, the Company filed suit against Credit Bancorp, in U.S. District Court in San Francisco, regarding improprieties on the part of Credit Bancorp relating to the August 1999 loan. The case was settled on October 11, 1999. As part of the settlement agreement, Credit Bancorp agreed to convert the original loans granted to the Company to a convertible debenture in the amount of $740,000. On October 11, 1999, the Company issued a convertible unsecured debenture for $740,000 to Credit Bancorp in settlement of this obligation. The terms of this convertible unsecured debenture are 7% interest per annum payable semiannually on the last day of February and September, with the principal due September 30, 2002. Credit Bancorp's receiver agreed to convert the principal and accrued interest owing on the debenture into 482,734 shares (pre-reverse split) F-15

As of December 12, 2002, the Company has not issued the stock. On April 19, 2001, the Company was served with a complaint alleging unjust enrichment and a violation of California Business and Professions Code by Broad Horizons, Inc., a Florida corporation. The complaint stems from allegations that the Company improperly received monetary benefits from the Company's intended acquisition of Comunicacoes 100Fio, Ltda, a Brazilian corporation, and the Company's subsequent relations with Luis Cuza, a former vice-president and director of Broad Horizons, Inc., and a former member of the Company's board of directors. The Company denies the allegations and plans to file a response to the complaint. Management believes that the resolution of this matter will not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

The claims arise out of an alleged agreement on the part of the Company to acquire WSI and provide it with substantial financing. A default judgment was entered in WSI's favor. On November 26, 2002, the Company reached a settlement agreement with WSI and Mr. Hager. The Company has agreed to issue $200,000 of common stock, pay $50,000 to the trustee of WSI, and has executed a two year consulting agreement with Mr. Hager, valued at $120,000. All claims have been cancelled under this agreement. Operating Leases ---------------- The Company leases its executive and administrative offices under an operating lease with a term of three years.

A valuation allowance has been recognized to offset the related deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of realizing any benefit therefrom. Under section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards is limited after an ownership change, as defined, to an annual amount equal to the market value of the loss corporation's outstanding stock immediately before the date of the ownership change multiplied by the highest Federal long-term tax exempt rate in effect for any month in the 3 calendar month period ending in the calendar month in which the ownership change occurred. Due to the ownership changes as a result of the May 1998 reorganization and subsequent stock issuances, any future realization of the Company's net operating losses will be severely limited. Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets are as follows: 2002 2001 ---- ---- Net operating loss carryforwards $28,000,000 $21,906,000 Valuation allowance (28,000,000) (21,906,000) ---------- ---------- Net deferred tax assets None None ---- ---- F-18

The conversion price of the subordinated debentures was amended to the lesser of 110% of the average per share market value for the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding the original issue date and 85% of the average per share market value for the five consecutive trading days immediately prior to the conversion date. The Company also agreed to change the floor price to $1,000 for the period between August 10, 2000 and October 14, 2000, $640 for the period between October 14, 2000 and April 14, 2001 and zero thereafter.

The common stock purchase agreement establishes what is sometimes termed an equity line of credit or an equity draw-down facility. Grenville Finance Ltd. committed up to $50 million to purchase the Company's common stock over a twenty-four month period. Once every 22 trading days, the Company may request a draw-down of up to $1,500,000 of the committed money, subject to a formula based on the average common stock price and average trading volume, setting the maximum amount of any request for any given draw down. Each draw down must be at least $50,000, and there must be a seven trading day waiting period between draw-downs. The amount of money that Grenville Finance Ltd. will provide and the number of shares the Company will issue to Grenville Finance Ltd. in return for that money is settled twice during a 22 day trading period following the draw down request based on the formula in the common stock purchase agreement. Grenville Finance Ltd. will receive a fifteen percent discount to the volume weighted average stock price for that 22 day period.

Under the agreement, the Company also agreed to remove the floor price on the 4% convertible debentures previously issued and to decrease the price of the warrants to $101.20. In addition, the Company pledged certain U.S. licenses and leases as collateral against these debentures. On June 7, 2001 the Company and several investors agreed to amend the March 29, 2001 Senior Secured Convertible Debentures and Warrants Purchase Agreement.

The Company also agreed to issue letter warrants to purchase up to $125,000 divided by 85% of the average of the three lowest bid prices during the 22 trading days prior to June 7, 2001. On August 17, 2001, the Company received aggregate proceeds of $60,000 pursuant to the Company's draw down notice to Grenville Finance Ltd. in connection with the common stock purchase agreement dated January 26, 2001, evidencing an equity draw-down facility between the Company and Grenville Finance Ltd.
