  Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
  
           On August 30, 2001, Microwave Transmission Systems, Inc. ("the
  Company") closed the acquisition via merger CKS Management, Inc., Viper
  Communication Systems, Inc. and Epic Communications, Inc., three Texas
  corporations engaged in the same business as the company of constructing and
  maintaining wireless communications transmitting and receiving facilities for
  providers of wireless communication services (the "Acquired Businesses"). The
  transactions are structured as mergers of the Acquired Businesses into three
  wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company formed for the purpose of effecting the
  mergers. The Acquired Businesses will continue to operate as separate
  subsidiaries under their same names before the transactions. Consideration for
  the mergers consisted of 5,378,796 shares of the Company's Common Stock and cash
  in the amount of $2,514,168. Such cash was obtained from the proceeds of a loan
  from Comerica Bank - Texas. Of such consideration, 2,017,932 shares of common
  stock will be issued, and $894,975.17 of the cash will be paid to P. David
  Spurlin, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the controlling
  shareholder of the Acquired Businesses. The merger consideration was determined
  based upon an internal valuation using a formula of five times estimated
  earnings for the year ending December 31, 2001.

           (a) Financial Statements of the Acquired Businesses will be filed by
