PART I
Item 1. Description of Business
Overview
Eagle Broadband, Inc., (the "Company" or "Eagle") is a worldwide supplier
of broadband products and services, providing telecommunications equipment with
related software, broadband products, and fiber and cable as used by service
providers in the paging and other personal communications markets. The Company
designs, manufactures, markets and services its products under the Eagle
Broadband, Inc., and BroadbandMagic names. These products include transmitters,
receivers, controllers, software, convergent set-top boxes, fiber, cable, and
other equipment used in commercial and personal communications systems and radio
and telephone systems. Additionally, the Company provides cable television,
telephone, security, Internet connectivity, and related services under a bundled
digital services package, commonly known as "BDS," through single source
billing. Also provided is last mile cable and fiber installation services as
well as comprehensive IT products and services.
At August 31, 2002, the Company's subsidiaries are: Atlantic Pacific
Communications, Inc. (APC); Etoolz, Inc. (ETI); Eagle Wireless International,
Inc. (EWI); ClearWorks.net, Inc. (.NET); ClearWorks Communications, Inc. (COMM);
ClearWorks Home Systems, Inc. (HSI); Contact Wireless, Inc. (CWI); DSS Security,
Inc. (DSS); United Computing Group, Inc. (UCG); and Link Two Communications,
Inc. (LINK II). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions and
balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Eagle is an integrated focused company that designs and manufactures a wide
range of broadband products and provides complete installation services for
copper, fiber, and wireless to the commercial and residential markets. The
combination of Eagle Wireless and ClearWorks gives Eagle an expanded market,
product and service synergies, the opportunity for growth and recurring
revenues. Core products offered by Eagle target end users of broadband services
and include Internet, telephone, cable television, and security monitoring
services which services we refer to as bundled digital services (or BDSSM).
Eagle designs, manufactures, markets, and services its products under the
Eagle name. These products include transmitters, receivers, controllers,
software and other equipment used in personal communications systems and radio
and telephone systems. Most of Eagle's broad line of products, covering the
messaging spectrum as well as specific personal communication systems, and
specialized mobile radio products, have been tested and approved by the Federal
Communications Commission. Eagle provides service and support for its products,
as well as consulting and research development on a contract basis. In addition,
Eagle has introduced a completely new line of multi-media and Internet products
to the telecommunications industry, including a family of digital set-top-box
products and markets these products under the name of BroadbandMagic.
2
Eagle offers through ClearWorks, products targeting end users of broadband
services that include Internet, telephone, cable style television over fiber,
and security monitoring services which services we refer to as bundled digital
services (or BDSSM). Each subscriber gives the company an opportunity to create
a recurring revenue stream and to generate up-front product revenue by adding a
number of current and future hardware and software and service products, such as
the set-top-box to the existing ClearWorks contracts. This balance of near-term
and long-term recurring revenue is a combination that in the opinion of
management is highly desirable. Eagle believes hardware, installation and home
wiring for the current BDSSM contracts alone have the potential to generate
near-term revenue for the company. The combination of Eagle's convergent
hardware products, network services, wireless products, wireless network and
spectrum services, and strong manufacturing and R&D capabilities and ClearWorks'
BDSSM "last mile" cable and fiber installation should provide a well-balanced
revenue mix as the combined company provides a full complement of broadband
products and services to its customers
Eagle through its subsidiary, Atlantic Pacific Communications, Inc., is
engaged in the business of nationwide sales and installation of fiber optic and
Internet wiring to commercial customers.
Eagle was incorporated in May 1993, but did not conduct any substantive
business operations until April 1996. In August 1997 Eagle amended its articles
of incorporation and changed its name to Eagle Wireless International and then
subsequently in February 2002 to Eagle Broadband, Inc., its current name.
Eagle's principal place of business is located at 101 Courageous Drive, League
City, Texas 77573 and its telephone number is (281) 538-6000.

Link Two Communications Services
Link Two Communications is a common carrier of exclusively wholesale
one-way messaging and two-way messaging network services. Its customers purchase
messaging network services as an aggregator and resell Link Two Communication's
network services to individual subscribers and other communications providers.
Link Two Communications has been classified as an incumbent carrier by the FCC
and has secured the rights to use or options to purchase spectrum in all of the
major metropolitan U.S. cities on five PCP frequencies. Link Two Communications
has also secured several exclusive RCC frequencies providing regional coverage
in two of the top ten markets. Link Two Communications has secured an exclusive
block of FCC spectrum covering a majority of the population centers in the
southern and western United States in a successful bidding at the FCC auction.
6
Link Two Communications competes with many established companies in the
nationwide one- and two-way messaging services area. The paging industry has
declined over the past year and several major paging companies have undergone
significant beneficial financial restructurings. These companies are able to
offer products and related services at more favorable rates than Link Two.
Because the paging industry and related financial credit availability from banks
for financing emerging nationwide networks has been declining over the last
year, Link Two has been unable to obtain significant funding to expand and
provide cost effective service to its customers. Accordingly, Link Two has had
to curtail its development on a nationwide basis and restricted its operations
to serve the Houston and Dallas, Texas, markets. The equipment servicing the
nationwide network is inactive and has been impaired as well as well as the
value of the related FCC licenses. At August 31, 2002, management estimated
through recent sales of equipment and industry pricing of FCC licenses that an
impairment charge of $27,100,000 was necessary to reflect the ongoing value of
its assets and licenses.
Eagle Wireless International
Wireless Messaging Hardware
Messaging is a method of wireless telecommunication, which uses an assigned
radio frequency to contact a messaging subscriber anywhere within a service
area. A messaging system is generally operated by a service provider incurs the
cost of building and operating the system. Each service provider in the United
States licenses spectrum from the FCC and elsewhere from the authorized
government body to operate a messaging frequency within either a local,
regional, or national geographical area. Each messaging subscriber is assigned a
distinct telephone number that a caller dials to activate the subscriber's
pager, a pocket-sized radio receiver carried by the subscriber. A messaging
switch receives telephone calls by the subscriber. The transmitters manufactured
by Eagle are specifically designed to simulcast, which is the transmission of
the same signal over two or more transmitters on the same channel at the same
time in an overlap area, resulting in superior voice and data quality and
coverage area. The radio signal causes the messaging device to emit a beep or to
vibrate, and to provide the subscriber with information from the caller in the
form of a voice, tone, numeric, or alphanumeric message.
A messaging device has an advantage over a landline telephone in that the
messaging device's reception is not restricted to a single location, and has an
advantage over a cellular portable telephone in that a messaging device is
smaller, has a much longer battery life, has excellent coverage, and is less
expensive to use. Historically, the principal disadvantage of traditional
messaging service in comparison to landline telephones or cellular portable
telephones has been that messaging provided only one-way communication
capabilities.
However, this limitation may have been overcome in the United States as a
result of the auction in 1994 by the FCC of nationwide and regional licenses for
designated narrowband personal communication services, radio frequencies or
spectrum to service providers. Many of the nationwide license holders and many
of the regional license holders are current Eagle customers, directly or
indirectly. The cost of the licenses to the narrowband personal communication
services auction winners in 1994 was approximately $1 billion. The FCC
anticipates that these narrowband personal communication services licenses will
be used to provide such new services as pager location, two-way acknowledgment
messaging, advanced voice messaging and data services.
The narrowband personal communication services radio frequencies or
spectrum are located at three separate points within the total radio spectrum,
at 902-928 MHz, 930-931 MHz and 940-941 MHz. Initially, the radio frequencies
located at 930-931 MHz and 940-941 MHz have been designated for outbound message
transmission, to the pager, and the 902-928 MHz have been designated response
channels, from the pager. This application is similar to traditional messaging
except that these license holders have been granted wider frequency bandwidth
permitting the user to transmit substantially more information. In addition,
Eagle manufactures other messaging infrastructure products that cater to the VHF
and UHF messaging frequencies in the United States and other areas of the world
as well as supporting most international messaging brands.
7
The narrowband personal communication services nationwide licenses cover
all fifty states, the District of Columbia, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern
Marianas Islands, Puerto Rico and the United States Virgin Islands. These
licenses are divided into 50 kHz paired and unpaired channel categories. Paired
channels permit both outbound and inbound signals while unpaired channels are
limited to only outbound signals. The FCC has imposed infrastructure
construction or build-out requirements on all narrowband personal communication
services license holders. Each narrowband personal communication services
license holder must establish minimum service availability for at least 37.5% of
the population in its geographic region within five years after receiving the
license. After ten years, each narrowband personal communication services
license holder must make the service available to at least 75% of the area's
population. If a narrowband personal communication services license holder fails
to achieve these build-out requirements, it risks cancellation by the FCC of its
narrowband personal communication services license and a forfeiture of any
auction monies paid.
Eagle manufactures products that will enable messaging license holders to
legally put their systems into operation at a low cost, a strategy adopted by
Eagle to create a "captive" customer in terms of future build-out.
Eagle offers its customers an end-to-end solution for narrowband personal
communication services applications. Eagle has developed new technology based
products with enhanced architecture and technology from its existing messaging
systems to accommodate the advanced services available through messaging and
PCS. This system approach includes full product lines of radio frequency network
controllers, transmitters, receivers, and a special satellite receiver system,
to receive the response message from the end-user.
The design of a messaging system is customer specific and depends on:
- The number of messaging subscribers the service provider desires to
accommodate,
- The operating radio frequency,
- The geography of the service area,
- The expected system growth, and
- Specific features desired by the customer.
Messaging equipment hardware and software developed by Eagle may be used with
all types of messaging service, including voice, tone numeric (telephone number
display) or alphanumeric messaging (words and numbers display).
Switches
Eagle is involved at an early stage in the development of industry wide
technology standards and is familiar with developments in messaging protocol
standards throughout the world. Eagle works closely with its customers in the
design of large, complex messaging networks. Eagle believes that its customers'
purchasing decisions are based, in large part, on the quality and technological
capabilities of such networks. Eagle believes that the advanced hardware and
software features of its switches ensure high reliability and high volume call
processing.
8
Radio Frequency Equipment, Transmitters and Receivers
Transmitters are available in frequency ranges of 70 MHz to 960 MHz and in
power levels of 2 Watts to 500 Watts. Radio link receivers are available in
frequency ranges of 70 MHz to 960 MHz. Satellite link receivers are available
for integration directly with the transmitters at both Ku- and C- band
frequencies.
Eagle's range of receivers detects the responses back from the two-way
narrowband personal communication services subscriber devices. The receivers
take advantage of Digital Sound Processing demodulation techniques that maximize
receiver performance. Depending upon frequency, antenna height, topography and
power, Eagle transmitter systems are designed to cover broadcast cells with a
diameter from 3 to 100 miles. Typical simulcast systems have broadcast cells
that vary from 3 to 15 miles in diameter. Eagle transmitters are designed
specifically for the high performance and reliability required for high speed
simulcast networks.
Multimedia Devices
Eagle recently developed a family of Internet Set-Top-Boxes designed to
access the Internet and e-mail through a television set for individual or
commercial use. These devices use a standard TV set as a monitor, allowing the
user to connect to their chosen ISP on the Internet. The multimedia
entertainment device can at a minimum:
- Receive, write and send e-mail;
- Write a letter or work on a spreadsheet;
- Play games or use learning tools;
- Watch movies from CDs or DVDs; and
- Record on the hard drive direct from the TV, providing better quality
picture than through a VCR.
Controllers
Eagle currently offers products for transmitter control known as Eagle's
L20X transmitter control system, which is a medium-feature transmitter control
system used in domestic and international markets.
The principal products and enhancements currently being manufactured and sold by
Eagle relate to its wireless messaging products and include the following:
Base Stations and Transmitters
Transmitters and full-featured transmitters called Base Stations are used
by messaging carriers to broadcast radio-frequency messages to subscribers
carrying pagers. Eagle offers a slimline Stealth and a larger Quantum
transmitter that is available in the 72MHz, VHF, UHF, and 900MHz broadcast
frequency ranges. Each unit can be equipped to provide an output power ranging
from 15 Watts up to 500 Watts on almost any domestic or international messaging
frequency.
Radio Frequency Power Amplifiers
Radio-frequency power amplifiers are a sub-component of both messaging and
SMR transmitters and base stations. The high, medium and low power base station
and link transmitter power amplifiers are designed to operate with any FCC type
accepted exciter or may be combined with an Eagle optional plug-in base station
in the same space as the power amplifier. All Eagle power amplifiers above 100
Watts are equipped with Eagle "Heat Trap"(TM) design to provide the user with
long life and high reliability performance.
9
Extend-A-Page
Extend-a-Page is a compact lower-power transmitter and receiver set
designed to provide fill-in coverage in fringe locations where normal messaging
service from a wide-area messaging system is not adequate. The Extend-a-Page
receives the messaging data on either a radio frequency control link or wireline
link and converts this information into low power simulcast compatible messaging
transmissions on any of the common messaging frequencies. The Extend-a-Page
transmits the messaging information at a one to two Watt level directly into
hard to reach locations such as hospitals, underground structures, large
industrial plants, and many locations near the outer coverage contour of
messaging systems.
Link Products
Radio frequency and wireline communication links are needed to connect
multiple transmitters within a messaging network. Eagle provides both Link
equipment (the Link 20TX, 20RX, 20GX and 20PX) and the Link 20 software to
facilitate this interconnection. Major competitors have licensed the Eagle Link
20 software and have incorporated it as an industry standard into their
radio-messaging terminals. Customers may also purchase the same software
directly from Eagle as part of an Eagle system at a lesser cost. Management
believes that its software allows the user to mix and match the products of
different vendors on a common radio-messaging system.
Consulting Services
Eagle routinely provides consulting services on a contract basis to support
the sale of its main product lines. Examples of these consulting services
include the design and installation of radio messaging systems. Eagle also
performs research and development on a contract basis.
Service and Support
Eagle provides service to customers on a regular basis including
installation, project management of turnkey systems, training, service or
extended warranty contracts with Eagle. Eagle believes that it is essential to
provide reliable service to customers in order to solidify customer
relationships and to be the vendor of choice when a customer seeks new services
or system expansions. This relationship is further developed as customers come
to depend upon Eagle for installation, system optimization, warranty and
post-warranty services.
Eagle has a warranty and maintenance program for both its hardware and
software products and maintains a customer service network in its operating
locations. Eagle's standard warranty provides its customers with repair or
replacement of any defective Eagle manufactured equipment. The warranty is valid
on all products for the period of one year from the later of the date of
shipment or the installation by an Eagle qualified technician.

Research and Development
Eagle believes that a strong commitment to research and development is
essential to the continued growth of its business. One of the key components of
Eagle's development strategy is the promotion of a close relationship between
its development staff, internally with Eagle manufacturing and marketing
personnel, and externally with Eagle customers. This strategy has allowed Eagle
to develop and bring to market customer-driven products.
From 1999 to 2002, Eagle has focused a large portion of its new development
resources on the development of the new broadband multimedia and Internet
product line. In addition, Eagle has formed a number of strategic relationships
with other large suppliers and manufacturers that will allow the latest in
technology and techniques to be utilized in the convergence set-top-box product
line. Eagle will continue to incur research and development expenses with
respect to the convergence set-top-box product line during the current fiscal
year.
Eagle has extensive expertise in the technologies required to develop
wireless communications systems and products including high power, high
frequency RF design digital signal processing, real-time software, high-speed
digital logic, wireless DSL products, radio frequency and data network design.
Eagle believes that by having a research and development staff with expertise in
these key areas, it is well positioned to develop enhancements for its existing
products as well as the next generation of personal communication products.
Investment in advanced computer-aided design tools for simulation and analysis
has allowed Eagle to reduce the time for bringing new products to market.
Research and development expenditures incurred by Eagle for the fiscal years
ended August 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000,were $403,000, $1,276,000 and $371,000
respectively.

Manufacturing
Eagle currently manufactures its wireless products at its facilities in
League City, Texas. Some subassemblies are manufactured for Eagle by
subcontractors at various locations throughout the world. Eagle's manufacturing
expertise resides in assembling subassemblies and final systems that are
configured to its customers' specifications. The components and assemblies used
in Eagle's products include electronic components such as resistors, capacitors,
transistors, and semiconductors such as field programmable gate arrays, digital
signal processors and microprocessors, and mechanical materials such as cabinets
in which the systems are built. Substantially all of the components and parts
used in Eagle's products are available from multiple sources. In those instances
where components are purchased from a single source, the supplier is reviewed
frequently for stability and performance. Additionally, as necessary, Eagle
purchases sufficient quantities of components that have long-lead requirements
in the world market. Eagle ensures that all products are tested, tuned and
verified prior to shipment to the customer.
Eagle has determined that the most cost effective manufacturing method for
its high volume multimedia and Internet product line is to utilize offshore
contract production facilities supplemented with high volume United States based
contract facilities. The high volume requirements of convergence set-top-box
product line are well beyond the capabilities of the current facilities and
would be cost prohibitive to construct. However, in the selection of a high
volume international manufacturer, Eagle has selected EpoX, a Taiwan Stock
Exchange company with established subsidiaries in the USA, Netherlands, China
and Germany. With a strong research and development team, EpoX is not only able
to produce a wide range of products, but also has been recognized as a pioneer
in the field. EpoX is both ISO-9001 and ISO-9002 certified. The manufacturing
location for the convergence set-top-box is the EpoX facility in Taiwan.
Competition
Eagle supplies transmitters, receivers, controllers and software used in
messaging, voice messaging and message management systems. While the services
from the foregoing products represent a significant portion of the wireless
personal communications industry today, the industry is expanding to include new
services and new markets. The wireless personal communications industry includes
equipment manufacturers that serve many of the same PCS markets served by Eagle.
Many Eagle competitors, and all competitors that have publicly tradable
securities, have significantly greater resources than Eagle, and there can be no
assurance that Eagle will be able to compete successfully in the future. In
addition, manufacturers of wireless telecommunications equipment, including
those in the cellular telephone industry, some of which are larger and have
significantly greater resources than Eagle, could elect to enter into Eagle's
markets and compete with Eagle's products. There can be no assurance that Eagle
will be able to increase its market share in the future.
Eagle competes with many established companies in the set-top-box business
including Scientific Atlanta, General Instrument, and many smaller companies.
Most of these companies have greater resources available than Eagle does. The
markets that are currently developing for multimedia and other Internet related
products are extremely large and growing daily. Eagle has studied these markets
and is of the belief based on this research that it can effectively compete in
these markets with its new convergence set-top-box product line. However, there
can be no assurance that these conclusions are correct and that the multimedia
and Internet markets will continue to expand at their current rates and that
Eagle can gain significant market share in the future.
ClearWorks competes indirectly with many established companies in the fiber
and cable, structured wiring, broadband services, security monitoring, cable
television and telephone services. However, ClearWorks does not know of any
other direct competitor. Most of these companies have greater resources
available than ClearWorks. Eagle has studied these markets and is of the belief
that the bundled digital services offered to the residential users as a complete
package with one source billing is a competitive edge for ClearWorks. These
residential users are subject to developer and homeowner association agreements
that allows ClearWorks to be the primary single source provider of these
services. However, there can be no assurance that these conclusions are correct
and that the bundled digital services market will continue to expand at their
current rates and that ClearWorks can gain significant market share in the
future.
13
United Computing Group competes with many established companies in the
enterprise solutions, network management solutions and product fulfillment
(hardware and software) services area. Most of these companies have greater
resources available than United Computing Group. Eagle has studied these markets
and is of the belief that the offering of the enterprise and network management
and product fulfillment, as a turnkey solution, to medium sized companies at
cost effective pricing is a competitive edge for United Computing Group.
However, there can be no assurance that these conclusions are correct and that
the turnkey solution of these services will continue to expand at their current
rates and that United Computing Group can gain significant market share in the
future.
Atlantic Pacific Communications competes with many established companies in
the fiber and cable, structured wiring and project management services area.
Most of these companies have greater resources available than Atlantic Pacific
Communications. Eagle has studied these markets and is of the belief that the
offering of the collective services on a nationwide scale is a competitive edge
for Atlantic Pacific Communications. The use of the sub-contractors located
across the nation allows Atlantic Pacific Communications to complete large
projects in an efficient manner, which is a valuable tool. However, there can be
no assurance that these conclusions are correct and that the these services will
continue to expand at their current rates and that Atlantic Pacific
Communications can gain significant market share in the future.
Link Two Communications competes with many established companies in the
nationwide one and two-way messaging services area. Most of these companies have
greater resources available than Link Two Communications
Proprietary Information
Eagle attempts to protect its proprietary technology through a combination
of trade secrets, non-disclosure agreements, patent applications, copyright
filings, technical measures, and common law remedies with respect to its
proprietary technology. This protection may not preclude competitors from
developing products with features similar to Eagle's products. The laws of some
foreign countries in which Eagle sells or may sell its products do not protect
Eagle's proprietary rights in the products to the same extent as do the laws of
the United States. Although Eagle believes that its products and technology do
not infringe on the proprietary rights of others, there can be no assurance that
third parties will not assert infringement claims against Eagle in the future.
If litigation resulted in Eagle's inability to use technology, Eagle might be
required to expend substantial resources to develop alternative technology.
There can be no assurance that Eagle could successfully develop alternative
technology on commercially reasonable terms. More recently, Eagle has registered
and trademarked the name of BroadbandMagic for its new wholly owned subsidiary.
This name is thought by Eagle to be a valuable addition to the intellectual
property rights of Eagle.
Regulation
Many of Eagle's products operate on radio frequencies. Radio frequency
transmissions and emissions, and certain equipment used in connection therewith,
are regulated in the United States and internationally. Regulatory approvals
generally must be obtained by Eagle in connection with the manufacture and sale
of its products, and by customers to operate Eagle's products. There can be no
assurance that appropriate regulatory approvals will continue to be obtained, or
that approvals required with respect to products being developed for the
personal communications services market will be obtained. The enactment by
federal, state, local or international governments of new laws or regulations or
a change in the interpretation of existing regulations could affect the market
for Eagle's products. Although recent deregulation of international
telecommunications industries along with recent radio frequency spectrum
allocations made by the FCC have increased the demand for Eagle's products by
providing users of those products with opportunities to establish new messaging
and other wireless personal communications services, there can be no assurance
that the trend toward deregulation and current regulatory developments favorable
to the promotion of new and expanded personal communications services will
continue or that future regulatory changes will have a positive impact on Eagle.
14
Employees
At October 31, 2002, Eagle employed approximately 212 persons and retained
10 independent contractors. Eagle believes its employee relations to be good.
Eagle enters into independent contractual relationships with various
individuals, from time to time, as needed.
Risk factors that may affect Eagle's results of operations and financial
condition.
You should carefully consider the risks described below before making an
investment decision. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the
only ones facing the company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently
known to or that are currently deem immaterial also may impair Eagle's business
operations. If any of the following risks actually occur, Eagle's business could
be harmed.
Eagle will need additional working capital.
At August 31, 2002, the Company had $3.4 million of cash and cash
equivalents. During the first fiscal quarter of 2003, Eagle entered into a debt
funding arrangement with an investment bank to initially provide up to
$3,000,000 in working capital. This debt is unsecured and bears interest at 5%
per annum. Eagle has received $1,500,000 in cash during the quarter ended
November 30, 2002, against this funding arrangement.
Eagle believes that its working capital of $3,535,000 as of August 31,
2002, plus the additional funds raised and committed during the first fiscal
quarter of 2003 should be sufficient to fund operations through the end of
August 31, 2003. Historically, Eagle has financed its operations through the
sale of debt and equity securities. As of August 31, 2002, Eagle has a limited
amount of cash and cash equivalents. As such, if its current cash is
insufficient to fund its operating and long-term capital needs, Eagle will rely
on future bests-efforts financing for capital. The Company will need to raise
additional capital to fund ongoing operations and long-term capital needs. While
Eagle is pursuing several best efforts debt and equity capital raises, there can
be no assurance that Eagle will raise sufficient capital to fund operations
during this coming fiscal year. If the company is not successful in raising
additional capital, it may have to curtail or suspend certain operations. As
more fully described in Note 7 to the financial statements, Eagle's subsidiaries
Atlantic Pacific and United Computing Group maintain an aggregate of up to
$4,000,000 in credit facilities with a bank to provide working capital based on
eligible accounts receivable. Refer to Note 7 for descriptions of lines of
credit and other immediate forms of funding the Company has available.
Eagle's products are subject to rapid technological change and an inability on
its part to adapt or adjust its technology to these developments may have a
material adverse effect on its business.
The design, development, and manufacturing of personal communication
systems, specialized mobile radio products, and multimedia entertainment
products are highly competitive and characterized by rapid technology changes.
Eagle will compete with other existing products and may compete against other
development technology. Development by others of new or improved products or
technologies may make Eagle's products obsolete or less competitive. While
management believes that Eagle's products are based on established
state-of-the-art technology, there can be no assurance that they will not be
obsolete in the near future or that Eagle will be able to develop a commercial
market for its products in response to future technology advances and
developments.
15
Eagle's success depends upon its ability to protect its proprietary
technologies.
Eagle relies on non-disclosure agreements with employees, and common law
remedies with respect to its proprietary technology and the filing of patents on
its key technology. There can be no assurance that others will not
misappropriate Eagle's proprietary technologies or develop competitive
technologies or products that could adversely affect Eagle. In addition,
although Eagle is not aware of any infringement claims against it or any
circumstances that could lead to such claims, there can be no assurance that
these claims could not be made which could adversely affect its business.
Eagle's efforts to protect its intellectual property may cause it to become
involved in costly and lengthy litigation, which could seriously harm its
business. In recent years, there has been significant litigation in the United
States involving patents and other intellectual property rights. Although it has
not become involved in intellectual property litigation, it may become involved
in litigation in the future to protect its intellectual property or defend
allegations of infringement asserted by others. Legal proceedings could subject
it to significant liability for damages or invalidate Eagle's proprietary
rights. Any litigation, regardless of its outcome, would likely be time
consuming and expensive to resolve and would divert management's time and
attention. Any potential intellectual property litigation also could force Eagle
to take specific actions, including:
- Cease selling its products that use the challenged intellectual
property;
- Obtain from the owner of the infringed intellectual property a license
to sell or use the relevant technology, which license may not be
available on reasonable terms, or at all; or
- Redesign those products that use infringing intellectual property.
Eagle faces substantial competition from competitors with significantly greater
resources.
The wireless personal communications industry includes equipment
manufacturers that serve many of the same customers served by Eagle.
Substantially all of Eagle's competitors have significantly greater resources,
including financial, technical and marketing, than Eagle, and there can be no
assurance that Eagle will be able to compete successfully in the future.
Eagle faces competition from many entities with significantly greater
financial resources, well-established brand names, and larger customer bases.
The numerous companies that may seek to enter its industry may expose Eagle to
severe price competition for its products and services. Eagle expects
competition to intensify in the future and expects significant competition from
traditional and new telecommunications companies including, local, long
distance, cable modem, Internet, digital subscriber line, microwave, mobile and
satellite data providers.
A system failure could delay or interrupt Eagle's ability to provide products or
services and have a materially adverse effect on Eagle's business.
16
Eagle's operations are dependant upon its ability to support its highly
complex network infrastructure. Many of its customers are particularly dependent
on an uninterrupted supply of services. Any damage or failure that causes
interruptions in its operations could result in loss of these customers. Because
of the nature of the services Eagle supplies and the complexity of Eagle's
network, it is not feasible in all cases to maintain backup systems, and the
occurrence of a natural disaster, operational disruption or other unanticipated
problem could cause interruptions in the services it provides.
Additionally, the failure of a major supplier to provide the components and
parts necessary for its products and services, or of a major customer to
continue buying its goods and services, as a result of a natural disaster,
operational disruption or any other reason, could cause interruptions in the
service Eagle provides and adversely affect its business prospects, financial
condition and results of operations.
Stockholders face possible volatility of stock price for Eagle stock.
The market price of the common stock may experience fluctuations that are
unrelated to the operating performance of Eagle. Eagle recently experienced a
decrease in the market price of its common stock and the market price of its
common stock has been quite volatile in the last 12 months. Eagle can provide no
assurance that the current price will be maintained.
Item 2. Description of Property
Eagle's headquarters are located in League City, Texas and include
approximately 34,000 square feet of leased office, production, and storage
space. The lease expires in May 2004. Eagle also maintains subsidiary offices in
three other Houston area locations, with leases expiring in April 2003, August
2003, and December 2005; in Dallas, Texas, with a lease expiring in June 2003;
in Phoenix, Arizona, with a lease expiring in July 2003; in San Antonio, Texas,
with a lease expiring in July 2006; in Austin, Texas, with a lease expiring in
January 2005; in Chicago, Illinois, with a lease expiring in April 2003; and in
Oxnard, California, with a lease expiring in July 2004.
Eagle believes that all rental rents are at market prices. Eagle has
insured its facilities in an amount that it believes is adequate and customary
in the industry. Eagle believes that its existing facilities are adequate to
meet its current requirements but anticipates the need to acquire additional
space within the next two years. Eagle believes that suitable additional space
in close proximity to its existing headquarters will be available as needed to
accommodate the growth of its operations through the foreseeable future.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
ClearWorks is a defendant in State Of Florida Department Of Environmental
Protection Vs. Reco Tricote, Inc. And Southeast Tire Recycling, Inc. A/K/A
ClearWorks.net, Inc.; In The Circuit Court Of The Tenth Judicial Circuit In And
For Polk County, Florida. On December 13, 2000, Florida EPA sued the Company
presenting claims for recovery costs and penalties for a waste tire processing
facility. The suit seeks recovery of costs and penalties in a sum in excess of
$1,000,000, attorneys' fees and cost of court. The Company immediately filed a
Motion to Strike Portions of the Complaint/or for a More Definite Statement and
a Motion to Dismiss. The Florida EPA has amended the petition. ClearWorks denies
the claims and intends to vigorously contest all claims in this case and to
enforce its indemnification rights against the principals of Southeast Tire
Recycling. No discovery has been conducted in this lawsuit.
17
ClearWorks was a defendant in Candlelight Investors LLC v. ClearWorks.net,
Inc., Eagle Wireless International, Inc., and H. Dean Cubley. Subsequent to
August 31, 2002, Eagle settled the lawsuit with Candlelight Investors LLC for
$2,600,000.
ClearWorks is a defendant in Kaufman Bros., LLP v. ClearWorks.net, Inc.,
and Eagle Wireless, Inc., (Index No. 600939/01), which is pending in the Supreme
Court of the State of New York, County of New York. In this action, plaintiff
alleges that defendants have breached an agreement with ClearWorks to pay
plaintiff a fee for financial advice and services allegedly rendered by
plaintiff. The complaint seeks compensatory damages of $4,000,000, plus
attorneys' fees and costs. This suit is currently in the discovery phase. The
defendants deny the allegations of the complaint.
On December 17, 2001, Kevan Casey and Tommy Allen sued ClearWorks.net,
Inc., ClearWorks Integration, Inc., and Eagle Wireless International, Inc., (the
petition was later amended to include the following defendants: Michael T.
McClere, H. Dean Cubley, Link Two Communications, Inc., A. L. Clifford, Jim
Futer and McManus & Company, P.C. d/b/a E. McManus & Co., P.L.L.C.) for breach
of contract and other related matters in Cause No. 2001-64056; In the 281st
Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas. The suit seeks recovery of
damages in excess of $10,000,000 plus attorney's fees and court costs. The court
granted ClearWorks a temporary restraining order, wherein the Court enforced a
covenant against competition provision found in the individual's employment
contracts with the Company. Such order restrains these individuals from
competing against ClearWorks for a period of six months. This lawsuit is
currently in the discovery phase. The defendants deny the allegations of the
complaint.
The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the
ordinary course of business. The Company's management does not expect that the
results in any of these legal proceedings will have adverse affect on the
Company's financial condition or results of operations.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis
Overview
For the year ended August 31, 2002, Eagle's business operations reflected
further expansion into the broadband products and services sector through the
growth of bundled digital services business lines obtained in the merger with
ClearWorks.net and subsidiaries on January 31, 2001. In addition, during fiscal
2002, the Company conducted extensive cost containment activities. We believe
that the effects of these containment measures will significantly reduce or
fiscal 2003 ongoing expenses. The Company's consolidated operations generated
increased revenues of $29,817,000 with a corresponding gross profit of
$7,113,000 for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2002. The improvement in
revenues in fiscal 2002 is a result of increased sales of broadband products,
wireless infrastructure equipment and service, set-top boxes and structured
wiring products. Revenues from the sale of computer products and related
engineering services declined due to the loss of a significant customer in
fiscal year 2002 and an overall decline in the market for these products.
20
The Company incurred a net loss of $37,066,000 for the fiscal year ended
August 31, 2002. The loss was primarily attributable to a non-cash impairment
charge of $27,100,000 against FCC licenses and equipment. The loss was also
attributable to increases in professional costs, merger integration costs and
related amortization, system costs for a uniform system wide accounting and
reporting system and increases in sales and marketing costs for market expansion
of bundled digital services and set-top boxes. The Company is continuing to
consolidate management positions and centralize financial and administrative
functions, research and development activities and marketing of all products and
services in an effort to minimize unnecessary expenditures, increase
profitability, and provide management with timely information to react to
changing market conditions in the broadband industry.
During the quarter ended August 31, 2002, we continued the implementation
of cost reductions in various operating segments that were not expected to
provide significant long-term revenues and profitability. These reductions will
impact the expense categories of salaries and benefits, rents, travel, research
and development and other support expenses on a run-rate basis. We anticipate
that additional cost reduction efforts will continue into the second fiscal
quarter of 2003. Also, the company is continuing the development of the
"technology center" for distribution on a nationwide basis of voice, video and
data content; increased sales efforts in the telephone, cable, internet,
security services and wireless segments; and securing of long-term relationships
for content for the bundled digital services activities; and marketing/sales
agreements with other companies for the sale of broadband products and services.
On a nationwide basis, we are entering into business relationships with
financial and technology companies to provide bundled digital services (digital
content) to cities and municipalities that currently have constructed their own
fiber infrastructure to the home. We believe that our companies have the
technology, products and capabilities to provide these fiber-ready cities with
digital content set-top boxes and structured wiring services.

DSS Security
DSS Security, Inc., provides monthly security monitoring services to
residential customers. The customers are billed three months in advance of
service usage. The revenues are deferred at the time of billing and ratably
recognized over the prepayment period as service is provided.
United Computing Group
United Computing Group provides business-to-business hardware and software
network solutions and a network monitoring services. The revenue from the
hardware and software sales is recognized at the time of shipment. The
monitoring services recognition policy is to record revenue as earned.
Receivables
For the year ended August 31, 2002, Eagle accounts receivables decreased to
$5,028,479 from $7,144,000 at August 31, 2001. The majority of this decrease was
due to the decline in lower margin computer product revenues compared to the
prior year combined with the sale of a net of $817,401 in accounts receivable to
Southwest Bank of Texas in conjunction with a purchase and sale agreement
entered into by the Company's subsidiary, United Computing Group, Inc., in July
2002.
Earnings are charged with a provision for doubtful accounts based on
collection experience and current review of the collectability of accounts
receivable. Accounts receivables deemed uncollectable are charged against the
allowance for doubtful accounts.
Inventory
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. The cost is
determined by using the first-in first-out method. At August 31, 2002, Eagle's
inventory totaled $6,059,185 as compared to $10,637,000 at August 31, 2001. The
majority of this decrease was due to a decrease in Work in Process inventory.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS
No. 141, Business Combinations, and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets, which is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year
2003 and for purchase business combinations consummated after June 30, 2001.
These standards change the accounting for business combinations by, among other
things, eliminating pooling-of-interests accounting and requiring a change in
the method of expensing goodwill and certain intangible assets with an
indefinite useful life. Goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have an
indefinite useful life will be subject to an annual review for impairment rather
than periodic amortization. Finite lived intangibles will continue to be
amortized over their useful lives.
At August 31,2002, the Company evaluated its existing goodwill and
intangible assets acquired in purchase business combinations completed prior to
July 1, 2001. The carrying amount of recognized intangible assets that meet the
criteria for recognition apart from goodwill or any identifiable intangible
assets that are presented with goodwill and other intangible assets for
financial reporting purposes have been reclassified and reported separately from
goodwill. The unamortized balance of any negative goodwill will be recognized as
the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.
23
In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets, SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of. SFAS No. 144
retains the requirements of SFAS No. 121 to (a) recognize an impairment loss
only if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable from its
undiscounted cash flow and (b) measure an impairment loss as the difference
between the carrying amount and the fair value of the asset. SFAS No. 144
removes goodwill from its scope. SFAS No. 144 is applicable to financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The
Company has also tested goodwill for impairment at August 31, 2002, using the
two-step process prescribed in SFAS No. 142. The first step is a screen for
potential impairment, while the second step measures the amount of impairment,
if any. The adoption of SFAS No. 144 had a material impact on the financial
position of the Company.
At August 31, 2002, the Company determined that an impairment of Link Two
paging network equipment and nationwide licenses existed. Link Two
Communications competes with many established companies in the nationwide one-
and two-way messaging services area. The paging industry has declined over the
past year and several major paging companies have undergone significant
beneficial financial restructurings. These companies are able to offer products
and related services at more favorable rates than Link Two. Because the paging
industry and related financial credit availability from banks for financing
emerging nationwide networks has been declining over the last year, Link Two has
been unable to obtain significant funding to expand and provide cost effective
service to its customers. Accordingly, Link Two has had to curtail its
development on a nationwide basis and restrict its operations to serve the
Houston and Dallas, Texas, markets. The equipment servicing the nationwide
network is inactive and has been impaired as well as well as the value of the
related FCC licenses. At August 31, 2002, management estimated through recent
sales of equipment and industry pricing of FCC licenses that an impairment
charge of $27,100,000 was necessary to reflect the ongoing value of its assets
and licenses.
Eagle has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 115, as amended by SFAS No.
130, which provides that all marketable equity securities be classified as
available-for-sale or trading securities, and be carried on the balance sheet at
fair market value. Any unrealized holding gains or losses affiliated to these
securities are carried below net income under the caption "Other Comprehensive
Income," net of tax.
Other marketable securities, 4,560,000 shares of common stock of Urbana and
1,500,000 shares of common stock of Burst.com, with an aggregate cost basis of
$750,000 and an aggregate fair market value of $1,258,200 are included in cash
and cash equivalents category and are held for resale as of August 31, 2002.
Results Of Operations
Year Ended August 31, 2002 Compared to Year Ended August 31, 2001
Net Sales. For the year ended August 31, 2002, net sales increased to
$29,817,000 from $28,110,000 during the year ended August 31, 2001. The overall
increase of 6% was primarily attributable to added sales from the Company's
broadband service offerings through its subsidiaries ClearWorks Communications
and ClearWorks Home Systems, along with revenues from its Contact Wireless and
DSS Security subsidiaries that were acquired in January 2002. These increases
were partially offset by a decline in product revenues from the Company's United
Computing Group subsidiary due to the loss of a major customer in the energy
sector and an overall decline in the IT procurement market in 2002 and a minor
decrease in revenues from the Company's Atlantic Pacific Communications
subsidiary. Atlantic Pacific provides project planning, installation, project
management, testing and documentation of fiber and cable to commercial and
industrial clients throughout the United States while United Computing Group
provides business-to-business hardware and software network solutions and
network monitoring services.
24
Cost Of Goods Sold. For the year ended August 31, 2002, cost of goods sold
increased to $22,703,000 from $20,408,000 during the year ended August 31, 2001.
The increase was primarily attributable to added cost of sales comprised of
direct labor, materials and related costs for both broadband services and the
Company's Atlantic Pacific Communications subsidiary. Atlantic Pacific provides
project planning, installation, project management, testing and documentation of
fiber and cable to commercial and industrial clients throughout the United
States. The Company's overall gross profit percentage was 24% and 27% for the
years ended August 31, 2002 and August 31, 2001. This decrease is primarily
attributable to lower profit margins on volume sales of computers and related
equipment and increases in other manufacturing costs associated with the
production of the convergent set-top box.
Operating Expenses. For the year ended August 31, 2002, operating expenses
increased to $44,260,000 from $15,925,000 for the year ended August 31, 2001.
The primary portions of the increase are discussed below:
A $27,100,000 non-cash impairment charge was expensed at August 31, 2002,
for impairment of licenses and equipment in the Company's Link Two
subsidiary.
A $1,625,000 increase in salaries and related costs, as a result of its
acquisitions and expanded business.
A $363,000 increase in advertising and promotion, due primarily to
introductions and expansion of the Company's broadband services and
convergent set-top box offerings.
A $335,000 net increase in other support costs, due to an increase in
salary and related costs, rents, interest, contract labor, professional
fees and communication costs. This net increase included an offset of
$729,000 associated with a decrease in advertising and promotion, due
primarily to decreased attendance at conventions and trade shows on a
worldwide basis
Net Earnings. For the year ended August 31, 2002, Eagle's net loss was
$37,066,000, compared to a net loss of $6,233,000 during the year ended August
31, 2001.
Changes In Cash Flow. Eagle's operating activities used net cash of
$1,076,000 in the year ended August 31, 2002, compared to use of net cash of
$1,609,000 in the year ended August 31, 2001. The decrease in net cash used by
operating activities was primarily attributable to decreases of inventory,
accounts receivable and accrued expenses. Eagle's investing activities used net
cash of $16,940,000 in the year ended August 31, 2002, compared to $6,512,000 in
the year ended August 31, 2001. The increase was due primarily to investment
activities and purchase of equipment associated with the build out of Eagle's
network and infrastructure for the delivery of broadband services. Eagle's
financing activities used cash of $2,406,000, in the year ended August 31, 2002,
compared to $3,846,000 used in the year ended August 31, 2001. The decrease is
attributable to the repurchase of common stock, repayment against lines of
credit and no significant fund raising activities for the year ending August 31,
2002 compared to August 31, 2001.
25
Liquidity And Capital Resources. Current assets for the year ended August
31, 2002 totaled $14,866,000 (includes cash and cash equivalents of $3,421,000)
as compared to $42,649,000 reported for the year ended August 31, 2001. During
the first fiscal quarter of 2003, Eagle entered into a debt funding arrangement
with an investment bank to provide up to $3,000,000 in working capital. This
debt is unsecured and bears interest at 5% per annum maturing in one year from
the initial funding. Eagle has received $1,500,000 in cash during the quarter
ended November 30, 2002, against this funding arrangement. In addition, Eagle
has engaged an investment banking firm to provide a $20,000,000 equity line of
credit. This line of credit will be activated upon Eagle filing a registration
statement that complies with the terms and conditions of the agreement.
Eagle believes that its working capital of $3,535,000 as of August 31, 2002
plus the additional funds raised and committed during the first fiscal quarter
of 2003 should be sufficient to fund operations through the end of August 31,
2003. Historically, Eagle has financed its operations through the sale of debt
and equity securities. As of August 31, 2002, Eagle has a limited amount of cash
and cash equivalents. As such, if its current cash is insufficient to fund its
operating and long-term capital needs, Eagle will rely on future bests-efforts
financing for capital. The Company will need to raise additional capital to fund
ongoing operations and long-term capital needs. If the company is not successful
in raising additional capital, it may have to curtail or suspend certain
operations. As more fully described in Note 7 to the financial statements,
Eagle's subsidiaries Atlantic Pacific and United Computing Group maintain an
aggregate of up to $4,000,000 in credit facilities with a bank to provide
working capital based on eligible accounts receivable. Refer to Note 7 for
descriptions of lines of credit and other immediate forms of funding the Company
has available.
Year Ended August 31, 2001, Compared to Year Ended August 31, 2000
Net Sales. For the year ended August 31, 2001, net sales increased to
$28,110,000 from $5,240,000 during the year ended August 31, 2000. The increase
was primarily attributable to added sales from Atlantic Pacific and the
ClearWorks companies (Home Systems, Communications and United Computing Group).
Atlantic Pacific provides project planning, installation, project management,
testing and documentation of fiber and cable to commercial and industrial
clients throughout the United States. ClearWorks Home Systems provides
structured wiring solutions and audio / visual equipment to single and
multi-family dwellings. ClearWorks Communications provides solutions to
consumers by implementing technology both within the residential community and
home. This is accomplished through the installation of fiber optic backbones to
deliver voice, video and data solutions directly to consumers. United Computing
Group provides business-to-business hardware and software network solutions and
network monitoring services.
Cost Of Goods Sold. For the year ended August 31, 2001, cost of goods sold
increased to $20,408,000 from $2,482,000 during the year ended August 31, 2000.
The increase was primarily attributable to added cost of sales from Atlantic
Pacific and the ClearWorks companies (Home Systems, Communications and United
Computing Group). Atlantic Pacific provides project planning, installation,
project management, testing and documentation of fiber and cable to commercial
and industrial clients throughout the United States. The Company's gross profit
percentage for products sold was 27% and 53% for the years ended August 31,
2001, and August 31, 2000. This decrease is primarily attributable to lower
profit margins on volume sales of computers and related equipment and increases
in salaries and depreciation of equipment utilized in head-end facilities.
26
Operating Expenses. For the year ended August 31, 2001, operating expenses
increased to $15,925,000 from $3,985,000 for the year ended August 31, 2000. The
primary portions of the increase are discussed below:
A $4,746,000 increase in salaries, as a result of its acquisitions and
expanded business.
A $261,000 increase in advertising and promotion, due primarily to
increased attendance at conventions and trade shows on a worldwide basis.
A $3,111,000 increase in depreciation and amortization, due to an increase
in amortization of goodwill and purchase of additional assets.
A $2,918,000 increase in other support costs, due to an increase in rents,
travel, utilities and communication costs.
Net Earnings. For the year ended August 31, 2001, Eagle's net loss was
$5,874,000, compared to net earnings of $193,000 during the year ended August
31, 2000.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest Rate and Equity Market Risks
The Company is exposed both to market risk from changes in interest rates
on funded debt and changes in equity values on common stock investments it holds
in publicly traded companies. The Company also has exposure that relates to the
Company's revolving credit facility. Borrowings under the credit facility bear
interest at variable rates based on the bank prime rate. The extent of this risk
with respect to interest rates on funded debt is not quantifiable or predictable
due to the variability of future interest rates; however, the Company does not
believe a change in these rates would have a material adverse effect on the
Company's operating results, financial condition, and cash flows.
The Company's cash and cash equivalents are invested in mortgage and asset
backed securities, mutual funds, money market accounts and common stock.
Accordingly, the Company is subject to both changes in market interest rates and
the equity market fluctuations and risk. There is an inherent roll over risk on
these funds as they accrue interest at current market rates. The extent of this
risk is not quantifiable or predictable due to the variability of future
interest rates. The Company does not believe a change in these rates would have
a material adverse effect on the Company's operating results, financial
condition, and cash flows with respect to invested funds in mortgage and asset
backed securities, mutual funds and money market accounts, however; the company
does have both cash and liquidity risks associated with its common stock
investments aggregating $1,258,200 in market value as of August 31, 2002.
Credit Risks
The Company monitors its exposure for credit losses and maintains
allowances for anticipated losses, but does not require collateral from these
parties. The company did not have any customers which represented greater than
10% of its revenues during fiscal 2002 and, as such, does not believe that the
credit risk posed by any specific customer would have a material adverse affect
on its financial condition.
27
International Business Risk
Eagle generated net sales in markets outside the United States, which
amount to less than 5% of total Eagle net sales in the last three years. Sales
are subject to the customary risks associated with international transactions,
including political risks, local laws and taxes, the potential imposition of
trade or currency exchange restrictions, tariff increases, transportation
delays, difficulties or delays in collecting accounts receivable, and exchange
rate fluctuations. Pre-payments and letters of credit drawn on American or
limited foreign corresponding banks are required from international customers to
reduce the risk of non-payment.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT'S REPORT
TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS OF EAGLE BROADBAND, INC.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Eagle Broadband,
Inc. and subsidiaries as of August 31, 2002 and 2001, and the related
consolidated statements of earnings, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for
the years ended August 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000. These financial statements are
the responsibility of Eagle Broadband, Inc.'s management. Our responsibility is
to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audits, the consolidated financial statements
referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Eagle Broadband, Inc. and subsidiaries as of August 31, 2002 and
2001,and the results of their earnings, shareholders' equity, and their cash

F) Research and Development Costs
For the years ended August 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, the Company performed
research and development activities for internal projects related to its
convergent set-top boxes as well as its multi-media entertainment centers.
Research and development costs of $ 404,000, $1,276,000, and $371,000 were
expensed for the years ended August 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively.
No research and development services were performed for outside parties for
the year ended August 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000.
G) Income Taxes
The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", which requires a
change from the deferral method to assets and liability method of
accounting for income taxes. Timing differences exist between book income
and tax income, which relate primarily to depreciation methods.
H) Net Earnings Per Common Share
Net earnings per common share are shown as both basic and diluted. Basic
earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income less any
preferred stock dividends (if applicable) by the weighted average number of
shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share are
computed by dividing net income less any preferred stock dividends (if
applicable) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding plus any dilutive common stock equivalents. The components used
for the computations are shown as follows, in thousands:
August 31,
-------------------------------------------------
2002 2001 2000
------------ ------------ ---- -------------
Weighted Average Number of Common
Shares Outstanding Including
Basic Common Stock Equivalents 64,004 49,726 19,073
Fully Diluted Common Stock Equivalents 64,158 49,880 22,378
I) Impairment of Long Lived and Identifiable Intangible Assets
The Company evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets and
identifiable intangible assets for potential impairment on an ongoing
basis. An impairment loss would be deemed necessary when the estimated
non-discounted future cash flows are less than the carrying net amount of
the asset. If an asset were deemed to be impaired, the asset's recorded
value would be reduced to fair market value. In determining the amount of
the charge to be recorded, the following methods would be utilized to
determine fair market value:
1) Quoted market prices in active markets.
2) Estimate based on prices of similar assets
3) Estimate based on valuation techniques
At August 31, 2002, the Company determined that an impairment of Link Two
paging network equipment and nationwide licenses existed. Link Two
Communications competes with many established companies in the nationwide
one- and two-way messaging services area. The paging industry has declined
over the past year and the major paging companies have undergone
significant beneficial financial restructurings. These companies are able
to offer products and related services at more favorable rates than Link
Two. Because the paging industry and related financial credit availability
from banks for financing emerging nationwide networks has been declining
over the last year, Link Two has been unable to obtain significant funding
to expand and provide cost effective service to its customers. Accordingly,
Link Two has had to curtail its development on a nationwide basis and
restricted its operations to serve the Houston and Dallas, Texas, markets.
The equipment servicing the nationwide network has been inactive and is
being dismantled. The equipment servicing the nationwide network is
inactive and has been impaired as well as well as the value of the related
FCC licenses. At August 31, 2002, management estimated through recent sales
of equipment and industry pricing of FCC licenses that an impairment charge
of $27,100,000 was necessary to reflect the ongoing value of its assets and
licenses.

Eagle Broadband, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
August 31, 2002
J) Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of companies acquired over the
fair value of their net assets at the dates of acquisition and is being
amortized using the straight-line method over twenty (20) years for
Atlantic Pacific Communications, Inc., and twenty-five (25) years for
Bundled Digital Services contract rights. Other intangible assets consist
of patents and licenses, which are being amortized using the straight-line
method over ten (10) years and twenty (20) years, respectively.
K) Advertising Costs
In fiscal 2002, 2001, and 2000, advertising costs have been capitalized and
amortized on the basis of contractual agreements entered into by the
Company. These contracts are amortized over the life of the individual
contracts or expensed in the period incurred. For the year ended August 31,
2002, 2001, and 2000, the Company expensed $963,000, $600,000 and $340,000
respectively.
L) Deferred Syndication Costs
Deferred syndication costs consist of those expenditures incurred that are
directly attributable to fundraising and the collection thereto. Upon
successful collection of the funds, all expenses incurred will be
reclassified to additional paid in capital and treated as syndication
costs; netted against the funds raised.
M) Use of 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 asset 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.
N) Marketable Securities
In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments
in Debt and Equity Securities", effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1993. This statement considers debt securities that the
Company has both the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are
carried at amortized cost. Debt securities that the company does not have
the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity and all marketable
equity securities are classified as available-for-sale or trading
securities and are carried at fair market value. Unrealized holding gains
and losses on securities classified as trading are reported in earnings.
Unrealized holding gains and losses on securities classified as
available-for-sale were previously carried as a separate component of
stockholders' equity. SFAS No. 115 as amended by Financial Accounting
Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130,
"Other Comprehensive Income". Management determines the appropriate
classification of marketable equity and debt securities at the time of
purchase and re-evaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date.
O) Other Comprehensive Income
In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Other Comprehensive Income,"
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. This
statement considers the presentation of unrealized holding gains and losses
attributable to debt and equity securities classified as
available-for-sale. As stated, any unrealized holding gains or losses
affiliated to these securities are carried below net income under the
caption "Other Comprehensive Income." For the fiscal year ended August 31,
2002, 2001, and 200 comprehensive loss was ($279,000), ($359,000) and
(18,000), respectively.
P) Reclassification
The Company has reclassified certain assets costs and expenses for the year
ended August 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000,to facilitate comparisons.

Intangible Assets, which is effective for the Company in the first quarter
of fiscal year 2003 and for purchase business combinations consummated
after June 30, 2001. These standards change the accounting for business
combinations by, among other things, eliminating pooling-of-interests
accounting and requiring a change in the method of expensing goodwill and
certain intangible assets with an indefinite useful life. Goodwill and
intangible assets deemed to have an indefinite useful life will be subject
to an annual review for impairment rather than periodic amortization.
Finite lived intangibles will continue to be amortized over their useful
lives.
At August 31,2002 the Company evaluated its existing goodwill and
intangible assets acquired in purchase business combinations completed
prior to July 1, 2001. The carrying amount of recognized intangible assets
that meet the criteria for recognition apart from goodwill or any
identifiable intangible assets that are presented with goodwill and other
intangible assets for financial reporting purposes have been reclassified
and reported separately from goodwill. The unamortized balance of any
negative goodwill will be recognized as the cumulative effect of a change
in accounting principle.
The Company has also tested goodwill for impairment at August 31, 2002,
using the two-step process prescribed in SFAS No. 142. The first step is a
screen for potential impairment, while the second step measures the amount
of impairment, if any.
In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets, SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of. SFAS No.
144 retains the requirements of SFAS No. 121 to (a) recognize an impairment
loss only if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable
from its undiscounted cash flow and (b) measure an impairment loss as the
difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the asset.
SFAS No. 144 removes goodwill from its scope. SFAS No. 144 is applicable to
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2001. The adoption of SFAS No. 144 had a material impact on the financial
position of the Company.

At August 31, 2002, the Company determined that an impairment of Link Two
paging network equipment and nationwide licenses existed. Link Two
Communications competes with many established companies in the nationwide
one- and two-way messaging services area. The paging industry has declined
over the past year and the major paging companies have undergone
significant beneficial financial restructurings. These companies are able
to offer products and related services at more favorable rates than Link
Two. Because the paging industry and related financial credit availability
from banks for financing emerging nationwide networks has been declining
over the last year, Link Two has been unable to obtain significant funding
to expand and provide cost effective service to its customers. Accordingly,
Link Two has had to curtail its development on a nationwide basis and
restricted its operations to serve the Houston and Dallas, Texas, markets.
The equipment servicing the nationwide network is inactive and has been
impaired as well as well as the value of the related FCC licenses. At
August 31, 2002, management estimated through recent sales of equipment and
industry pricing of FCC licenses that an impairment charge of $27,100,000
was necessary to reflect the ongoing value of its assets and licenses.

NOTE 4 - Business Combinations:
On February 1, 2001, the Company completed the purchase of ClearWorks.net,
Inc., and its subsidiaries, ClearWorks Communication, Inc., ClearWorks
Structured Wiring Services, Inc., ClearWorks Integration Services, Inc.,
United Computing Group, Link Two Communications, Inc., and LD Connect,
Inc., (collectively, ClearWorks) by acquiring all the outstanding common
stock for a total purchase price of approximately $99.8 million. The
acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.
ClearWorks is a communications carrier providing broadband data, video and
voice communication services to residential and commercial customers,
currently within Houston, Texas. These services are provided over
fiber-optic networks ("Fiber-To-The-Home" or "FTTH"), which the Company
designs, constructs, owns and operated inside large residential
master-planned communities and office complexes. ClearWorks also provides
information technology staffing personnel, network engineering, vendor
evaluation of network hardware, implementation of network hardware and
support of private and enterprise networks, as well as, developing
residential, commercial and education accounts for deployment of structured
wiring solutions. The results of operation for ClearWorks are included in
the accompanying financial statements since the date of acquisition. The
Company acquired the net assets of ClearWorks for $99,797,000 through the
issuance of 29,410,000 shares of its common stock valued at $91,172,000 and
a cash total of $8,625,000. Prior to the merger, the Company provided to
ClearWorks, working capital and materials totaling $8,625,000. During
February 2001, ClearWorks repaid these advances through the issuance of
7,346,000 shares of its common stock, which converted into 5,877,000 Eagle
Wireless International, Inc., common stock shares. These shares were
converted to Treasury shares at this date. The Company allocated (in
thousands) the acquisition costs to current assets of $11,708, property,
plant and equipment of $6,570, intangible assets of $96,920 (which consist
of $74,513 in contract rights and $22,407 in licenses), other assets of $79
and assumed liabilities of accounts payable and accrued expenses of
$10,784, banks lines of credit and notes of $4,696 for a total acquisition
of $99,797. The allocation of the purchase price is based on the fair value
of assets and liabilities assumed as determined either by independent third
parties or management's estimates, based on existing contracts, recent
purchases of assets and underlying loan documents.
Effective January 1, 2002, the Company acquired the assets of DSS Security,
Inc., and Contact Wireless in a business combination accounted for as a
purchase. DSS Security, Inc., provides security monitoring to business and
residential customers. Contact Wireless sells and services mobile phones
and one- and two-way messaging devices. The Company paid cash of $450,000
and issued a short-term note payable of $130,000 for the assets of Contact
Wireless for a total purchase price of $580,000. Additionally, the Company
acquired DSS Security, Inc., for $2,002,147. In this transaction, the
Company issued 2,002,147 shares of its common stock with a guaranteed value
of $1 per share. The Company allocated $51,595 to the fair value of the
property and equipment and $1,950,552 to intangible assets. The intangible
assets include, among other things, approximately 4,000 current customers
being billed monthly for wireless messaging services. The allocation of the
purchase price is based on the fair value of the assets acquired based on
management's estimates and existing contracts. At August 31, 2002, the
Company has accrual for $921,000 for the portion of the purchase that
represents the difference between purchase price and market value of the
Company's common stock on the date of purchase.

NOTE 7 - Lines of Credit:
On September 29, 2000, Atlantic Pacific Communications, Inc., "(APC", a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company) entered into a one year $900,000
line of credit agreement with Southwest Bank of Texas, ("SWBT"). This note
bears interest at SWBT's prime rate plus .25%, which was payable monthly
with principal due September 28, 2001. APC's accounts receivable are
pledged as collateral with Eagle Wireless International, Inc., the
guarantor. This line of credit was repaid to Southwest Bank of Texas in the
six months ended February 28, 2002; therefore, there was not a balance
outstanding as of August 31, 2002. Subsequent to the fiscal year ended
August 31, 2002, APC entered into a new credit facility with SWBT to
provide working capital and fund ongoing operations. The new credit
facility is a purchase and sale agreement against accounts receivable,
provides for borrowings up to $1,000,000 based on eligible accounts
receivable and is secured by APC accounts receivable and guaranteed by
Eagle Broadband, Inc.
The Company, through its subsidiary United Computing Group, Inc. (UCG),
maintained $3,000,000 line of credit with IBM Credit Corporation (IBM)
bearing a variable rate of interest. At May 31, 2002, a balance of
$1,012,000 existed. During July 2002, UCG entered into a credit facility
with Southwest Bank of Texas (SWBT) to provide working capital, repay the
IBM credit line and fund ongoing operations. The new credit facility is a
purchase and sale agreement against accounts receivable, provides for
borrowings up to $3,000,000 based on eligible accounts receivable and is
secured by UCG accounts receivable and guaranteed by Eagle Broadband, Inc.
As of August 31, 2002, UCG reduced its accounts receivable by $817,401 to
reflect the gross sale of $961,649 to SWBT less $144,247 of reserves held
by SWBT against such purchases.
NOTE 8 - Convertible Debentures:
At August 31, 2002, $2,000,000 in principal plus $600,000 of accrued
interest and fees of were outstanding to Candlelight Investors, LLC. In
November 2002, the Company issued 2,600,000 shares of stock to settle this
debt.
During 2001, the Company merged with ClearWorks.net, Inc., and as a result,
ClearWorks is a wholly owned subsidiary of Eagle. Link Two Communications,
Inc., is a subsidiary of ClearWorks, and as a result of the merger, is now
a secondary subsidiary of Eagle. Link Two entered an agreement with The
Tail Wind Fund Ltd., under which Tail Wind purchased from Link Two a 2%
convertible note in the initial amount of $5,000,000 (the "First Note"),
and Link Two has the ability to require Tail Wind to purchase additional
convertible notes in the amount of $4,000,000 (the "Second Note") and
$3,000,000 (the "Third Note"). The conversion terms of the convertible
debentures become effective after ninety days of the initial closing date.
The note balance will be due in fiscal 2003. Link Two may require Tail Wind
to purchase the Second Note if: (a) the price of Eagle's common stock is
above $5.00 per share for 20 consecutive trading days during calendar
2001,and other various terms are met. Link Two may require Tail Wind to
purchase the Third Note if the price of Eagle's common stock is above $8.00
per share for 20 consecutive trading days during calendar 2001, and the
agreed upon covenants are met. In conjunction with the issuance of the
First Note, Link Two issued Tail Wind a warrant, and if Link Two chooses to
issue the Second and Third Notes, it will issue Tail Wind additional
warrants.
As a result of the merger, Eagle the parent of Link Two, has guaranteed the
Link Two notes issued to Tail Wind and allowed Tail Wind to convert the
above mentioned debt into Eagle common stock at a rate of $1.79 per share.
The agreement also permits Tail Wind to convert the Link Two warrant into
Eagle warrants to purchase shares of our common stock. Tail Wind would have
a warrant to purchase 1,396,648 shares of our common stock at an exercise
price of $1.83 per share, exercisable between August 2002 and September
2006. If Link Two requires Tail Wind to purchase the Second and Third Note,
the additional warrants it issues will also be convertible into shares of
our common stock. The number of shares that the additional warrants may be
converted into will depend on the price of our common stock, and cannot be
determined at this time. However, the exercise price of the additional
warrants may not be less than $1.83 per share.

Eagle Broadband, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
August 31, 2002
The Company has agreed to pre-pay the notes at the rate of a minimum of
$250,000 per month and a maximum of $500,000 per month. The pre-payment may
be in cash or in shares of our common stock at the rate of 90% of the
average of the two lowest market prices of our common stock for the
applicable month. However, the Company may not issue shares of our common
stock for pre-payment purposes if the total number of shares exceeds the
aggregate trading volume of our common stock for the twelve trading days
preceding the date of payment, in which case we must pay the difference in
cash. As the number of shares to be issued for pre-payment purposes is
dependent on the price and trading volume of our common stock, there is no
way to determine the number of shares that may be issued at this time.
Eagle has filed a registration statement for the potential conversion
shares for the note and warrants exercise. As of May 31, 2002, the Company
has paid to Tail Wind $2,000,000 towards the reduction of debt. The current
financial statements have recorded as current maturity for this debt,
$2,000,000.
As part of the above agreements, the Company entered into a registration
rights agreement with Tail Wind, and the Company filed a registration
statement, in order to permit Tail Wind to resell to the public the shares
of common stock that it may acquire upon any conversion of the First Note
and exercise of the warrant associated with the First Note. The Company
have registered for resale 5,000,000 shares of common stock, which
represents 122% of the shares to be issued upon conversion of the First
Note at $1.79 per share and 100% of the exercise of the warrant associated
with the First Note at $1.83 per share. The additional shares registered is
to account for the shares that may be issued for pre-payment as described
in the above paragraph, or upon the exercise of the anti-dilution rights
provided for in the following paragraph. If Link Two chooses to require
Tail Wind to purchase the Second and Third Notes, we will file another
registration statement covering the resale of the shares that may be issued
on conversion of the Second and Third Notes and upon the exercise of the
warrants associated with the Second and Third Notes.
In our agreement with Tail Wind, the Company granted Tail Wind
anti-dilution rights. If the Company sells common stock or securities
exercisable for or convertible into shares of our common stock for less
than $1.79 per share, the Company must reduce the conversion price of the
notes and the exercise price of the warrants to the price the Company sold
the common stock or the exercise or conversion price the Company issued the
convertible securities. The Company has agreed to register for resale any
additional shares that will be issued pursuant to these anti-dilution
rights on a future registration statement, unless such additional shares
are available in the current registration statement. In addition, under the
terms of the agreement, without Tail Wind's approval, the Company may not
issue Tail Wind shares of common stock such that Tail Wind would ever be
considered to beneficially own greater than 4.99% of the outstanding common
stock. In connection with this transaction, Link Two Communications, Inc.,
has paid Ladenburg Thalman and Co. a fee of 5% of the purchase price of the
notes. Additionally, the Company has valued the conversion feature of the
convertible debenture and warrants at $1,648,045 and $1,270,995,
respectively; the amounts were determined by using the Black-Scholes
calculation. These amounts have been capitalized as part of the cost of
developing the wireless infrastructure. At August 31, 2002, Eagle and Tail
Wind were renegotiating the terms of this note. During the renegotiation
period, the Company has agreed to pay interest until all new terms and
conditions have been resolved.

NOTE 18 - Employee Stock Option Plan:
In July 1996, the Board of Directors and majority stockholders adopted a
stock option plan under which 400,000 shares of the Company's common stock
have been reserved for issuance. Since that time, the Board of Directors
have amended the July 1996, employee stock option plan under which
1,000,000 shares of Common Stock have been reserved for issuance. Under
this plan, as of August 31, 2002, a total of 355,170 options have been
issued to various employees.
The Company has elected to follow APB 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees." Accordingly, since employee stock options are granted at market
price on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized. However,
SFAS 123 requires presentation of pro forma net income and earnings per
share as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options
granted under the fair value method of that statement. The weighted average
fair value of the individual options granted during 2000 is estimated as
$0.58 on the date of grant. A meaningful weighted average fair value of the
individual options granted during 2000 using the method prescribed by SFAS
123 could not be determined due to the volatility of the share price during
the measurement period. Management estimates the average fair value for
options granted during 2001,to be comparable to those granted in 2000. The
impact on net income is minimal; therefore, the pro forma disclosure
requirements prescribed by SFAS 123 are not significant to the Company. The
fair values were determined using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model with
the following assumptions:
2001 2000
----------- ----------
Dividend Yield 0.00% 0.00%
Volatility 0.91 0.91
Risk-free Interest Rate 7.00% 7.00%
Expected Life 5 5
NOTE 19 - Retirement Plans:
During October 1997, the Company initiated a 401(k) plan for its employees,
which is funded through the contributions of its participants. This plan
maintains that the Company will match up to 3% of each participant's
contribution. For the year ended August 31, 2002 and 2001, employee
contributions were approximately $279,000 and $148,000, respectively. The
Company matched approximately $67,850 and $49,000, respectively for those
same periods.
NOTE 20 - Major Customer:
The Company had gross revenues of $29,817,000 and $28,110,000 for the year
ended August 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The following parties
individually represent a greater than ten percent of these revenues.
August 31, 2002 August 31, 2001
Customer Amount Percentage Amount Percentage
---------- ------- ----------- -------- ------------
Customer A $ --- 0.00% $7,875,000 30.00%
Customer B $ --- 0.00% $3,845,000 13.68%
Customer C $ --- 0.00% $ --- 0.00%
During the twelve months ended August 31, 2002, the Company had outstanding
accounts receivable with Enron Corporation and many of its subsidiaries.
The exposure from the bankruptcy totals approximately $205,000, which has
been accounted for through allowance of doubtful accounts in these
financials.
