Item 2.    Acquisition of Transformation Techniques Inc.

On June 15, 1999, WaveRider  Communications Inc. ("WaveRider" or the "Company"),
finalized a merger agreement between Transformation Techniques, Inc. ("TTI") and
a newly incorporated subsidiary, TTI Merger Inc. The new subsidiary subsequently
changed its name to WaveRider Communications (USA) Inc.

Under the terms of the merger  agreement,  WaveRider  issued  256,232  shares of
common  stock,  having a market value of $442,000  and paid  $253,985 in cash on
closing and will pay an additional  $99,000,  in monthly  installments  over the
subsequent 11 months to Mr. Peter Bonk, the sole shareholder of TTI, and TTI was
merged  into TTI Merger  Inc.  Prior to the  merger  agreement  Mr.  Bonk had no
shareholding in or affiliation with WaveRider.  The cash portion of the purchase
has been and will be paid from working  capital.  Of the cash proceeds,  $94,985
was immediately  paid by the former  shareholder to the new subsidiary to retire
an existing shareholder loan.

TTI is a leader in the  design  and  manufacture  of  wireless  radio  frequency
communications  systems,  offering wireless data,  bridging and LAN connectivity
systems in both licensed and  unlicensed  frequencies.  TTI has product  design,
manufacturing and head office facilities in Cleveland, Ohio as well as sales and
support  operations  in  San  Diego,  California  and  Baton  Rouge,  Louisiana.
WaveRider   intends  to  further   develop  TTI's  existing  sales  and  support
infrastructure  to  increase  its  expansion  into the US, in a new  subsidiary,
WaveRider Communications (USA) Inc.

"The  acquisition  of TTI and  their  excellent  staff  and  customer  base will
accelerate   our  North   American   expansion   strategy,"   says   WaveRider's
president/CEO Bruce Sinclair. "We are investing in this existing employee/client
foundation to increase our sales and customer  support  operations in the United
States."

The acquisition of TTI also gives WaveRider an expanded product portfolio. TTI's
wireless bridge products have data throughput  speeds ranging from 2 to 11 Mbps.
The  high-speed  products  combined  with  WaveRider's   software  and  Internet
networking  capabilities gives WaveRider the broadest range of wireless bridging
products and accessories in the industry.

The  purchase of TTI will cut  development  time and cost for  WaveRider.  TTI's
bridging  hardware  will be  integrated  with  WaveRider's  real-time  operating
system, network management and routing software,  creating a basic architectural
platform for future product developments.

The purchase has been completed for a combination of shares and cash, which have
no material impact on WaveRider's cash and equity position.


Item 5.    Other Events

The Company moved it's principal  executive offices to 255 Consumers Road, Suite
500, Toronto,  Ontario,  Canada M2J 1R4. The Company's phone number has remained
the same.
