SOLU news Wireless Data Solutions Reports Six Month Results LEESBURG, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 12, 1998--Wireless Data Solutions Inc. (OTC BB:SOLU - news), an SEC reporting company, announced Tuesday that for its second quarter ended March 31, 1998, the company reported net income of $65,000 on revenues of $614,000 versus net income of $38,000 on revenues of $608,000 for the comparable quarter in 1997. For the six months of fiscal year 1998, the company reported net income of $28,000 on revenues of $1,038,000 compared to net income of $111,000 on revenues of $1,244,000 for the same period in 1997. Mike McLaughlin, CEO and president of Wireless Data Solutions said: ''Our largest market penetration has been in the cement ready-mix industry, and the warm weather we experienced this last winter had an impact on our sales. During warm winters construction continues to be more active, and the cement industry is given the opportunity to keep their mobile fleets on the road.'' McLaughlin continued, ''Even though our earnings in the second quarter were almost double the year before, we expanded our technical staff and as a result we announced a new cellular product on April 28th. The timing for this product is excellent based on an AT&T release on May 8th. We are now in the process of enlarging our sales organization which includes setting up dealers in various parts of the country. We are also involved in a Mexican project involving wireless communications that will open up new markets for our hardware and software products. Much more to come about this project.'' He concluded: ''As we position the company for real growth, we expect to continue to be profitable as we have since 1994. We have yet to discover a company in an exciting industry like wireless communications that is making a profit on a consistent basis, and has such a low market cap.'' In the May 8th issue of the New York Times, AT&T announced a new wireless service that offers calls from almost anywhere in the U.S. to anywhere in the nation for flat rates of as little as $.11 per minute. They are eliminating special ''roaming'' charges for using its phones on other companies networks. On April 28th Wireless Data Solutions announced a new cellular product for its mobile data terminals used for fleet management, allowing for the transmission of data over standard voice analog cellular networks. With the low rates offered by AT&T, the new product becomes much more attractive and cost effective. Wireless Data Solutions Inc. is a hardware/software developer and marketing company involving digital wireless communication systems for mobile fleet management in the U.S. and foreign countries. Statements in this news release about the company's expectations of profitability, growth and market penetration are ''forward looking statements'' within the meaning of Sections 27A and 21E of the Securities Act of 1933 and 1934. The company intends that such ''forward looking statements'' be subject to the safe harbors created thereby. Since these statements involve risks and uncertainties, the results could differ materially from those expected.

This just popped (unsolicited) into my mailbox.. do we care about this?? News for immediate release NASD-BB: QSTI Stockbroker Relations: Alan Cole (407) 862-3202 QUESTEC ANNOUNCES FIRST 1998 NON-CABLE AGREEMENT WITH WABU TV CHANNEL 68 IN BOSTON FOR BOSTON RED SOX BROADCASTS Deer Park, N.Y. Monday, May 11, 1998 - QuesTec Imaging, Inc.(QuesTec), (NASD-BB: QSTI), and WABU Television Channel 68 in Boston announce an agreement to incorporate QuesTec's SuperVisionSM pitch-tracking system as a broadcast enhancement, video replay and analysis tool during WABU's 1998 broadcast coverage of the Boston Red Sox. This agreement marks the first "over-the-air," non-cable contract for QuesTec during 1998 and marks the largest viewer market the SuperVisionSM system has ever been shown in to date -- bringing SuperVisionSM to Boston's Fenway Park for the first time ever as WABU broadcasts Red Sox baseball to over 11 million adult viewers. SuperVisionSM is marketed for $2,000 per game for each WABU broadcast from Fenway Park and for each away broadcast from other stadiums. QuesTec currently has the SuperVisionSM system cabled in 11 major league stadiums, with plans already in place to increase that number throughout the 1998 season. SuperVisionSM is used during broadcasts as a video replay, and to assist commentators in the analysis of key pitches, pitcher/batter match-ups and key at bats. As part of this agreement SuperVisionSM will be used as a replay at least eight times during each broadcast, while Channel 68 announcers Sean McDonough and Jerry Remy will be able to see every pitch thrown instantly rendered by SuperVisionSM, on a video-monitor in their broadcast booth. As a video source, SuperVisionSM instantly provides viewers with a three-dimensional view of individual pitches, including the speed and trajectory of the ball from its release-point to the back of home plate. This instant three-dimensional rendering of actual pitches graphically illustrates the difference between a slider, curveball, forkball or fastball -- enhancing the broadcast for commentators and viewers alike. In addition, any pitch from any inning can be later recalled and displayed at any time during the game, or a number of pitches can be shown in any sequence as a single group or as a split-screen-comparison. These two features are very effective in illustrating key pitches, key at bats and pitcher/batter match-ups. As an enhancement tool, the SuperVisionSM system certainly raises the level of broadcast coverage and increases viewer interest. Those of us at QuesTec are very excited about the positive reception the SuperVisionSM system has received in the New England area. Interest in the new technology has already generated an article in the Friday, April 10 Boston Globe, and a nice mention by the Boston Herald in the Sunday, May 3 edition. Furthermore, Channel 68 is planning to air a pre-game special within the next two weeks that will highlight QuesTec and further explain the SuperVisionSM system to viewers. As QuesTec's Christopher J. Malone, recently commented, "It's great to see that a place like Boston, with such a rich baseball tradition and one of the most treasured baseball monuments -- in the form of Fenway Park -- is so receptive and excited about SuperVisionSM. It's truly a marriage between what's old and what's new in baseball, and it looks like a great match." QuesTec develops and markets proprietary software systems that capture, render, and display real-time graphic simulations that can be applied to sports entertainment, display media, business and industry.
