~~Item~~ ITEM 1.03 01 ENTRY ~~Bankruptcy~~ INTO orA ~~Receivership~~MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

~~Confirmation~~On December 30, 2005, U.S. Wireless Data, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), received funds from a private placement offering of ~~Our~~units ~~Plan~~consisting of (i) one share of ~~Reorganization~~its common stock, par value $.01 per share (“Common Stock”), and (ii) one warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase, for a period of two years and at an exercise price of $2.00 per share, one full share of Common Stock (each unit sold at an offering price of $1.00 per unit (the “Units”)) to certain accredited investors pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Pursuant to the terms of the private placement, the Company sold 1,000,000 Units at a purchase price of $1.00 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,000,000. The investors executed subscription agreements and acknowledged, among other things, that the securities to be issued have not been registered under the Securities Act, that the investors understood the economic risk of an investment in the Units, and that the investors had the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the Company’s management concerning any and all matters related to acquisition of the Units. The subscription agreement also provides for “piggyback” registration rights, subject to the ability of an underwriter of an underwritten offering to exclude or cut back such rights, as to registration statements on forms appropriate for such purpose, filed after the closing of the private placement. The Company will use the proceeds from the sale of the Units for working capital and general corporate purposes. No underwriter or placement agent was involved in the transaction, and no commissions or other remuneration were paid in connection with the offer and sale of the Units.

AsITEM ~~previously disclosed, on March 26, 2004, we filed a petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code~~ 3. ~~On May 11, 2004, the~~02 UNREGISTERED ~~United~~ SALES ~~States~~OF ~~Bankruptcy~~EQUITY Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Court”) conducted an auction of our assets and on May 21, 2004 the sale of all of our assets and operations to Transactional Network Services, Inc. (“TNS”) closed. TNS paid $6,000,000 in cash for our wireless payment processing business and $3,700,000 in cash for our wireless vending business. SECURITIES

~~On December 27, 2004, the Court confirmed our Amended Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”).~~ The ~~Plan contemplates that the primary source of~~ ~~cash~~ information ~~for~~contained ~~distributions will be the proceeds from the aforementioned sale of our businesses and the cash contribution of Trinad Capital, L.P. (“Trinad”), the plan sponsor. Trinad will contribute $500,000~~ in ~~cash to~~Item us in exchange for 93% of the new common stock to be issued under the Plan, with the remaining 7% of the new common stock being issued to the holders of record of our Series C Preferred Stock and our common stock as of February 7, 2005, with 31.5%01 ~~going to each class. Of such $500,000 from Trinad, $400,000 will be added to the funds used to pay administrative costs, creditors and, possibly, a small portion~~ of ~~the~~this ~~liquidation~~Current ~~preference. The~~Report ~~remaining $100,000~~on ~~will~~Form be8-K ~~retained by us to fund the expenses of remaining~~is ~~public. The~~ incorporated ~~Plan contemplates that all cash (other than the $100,000 to be retained~~ by ~~the~~reference ~~reorganized~~herein ~~debtor) will be placed in a liquidation trust (the “Liquidation Trust”)~~ and~~, after~~ ~~the~~made ~~payment of administrative costs, will be used to pay our liabilities. If there is any remaining cash, it will be used to settle~~ a ~~small~~part ~~portion of the aggregate $32,302,000 liquidation preference to which the holders of our Series C Preferred Stock are entitled~~hereof.

~~The~~ITEM ~~Plan also contemplates that the Liquidation Trust will pay for the prosecution of our pending litigation against AT&T Wireless~~ 9. On February 20, 2004, we commenced arbitration proceedings against AT&T Wireless whereby we are seeking a $12 million judgment against AT&T Wireless relating to its decommissioning of the cellular digital packet data (CDPD) network01. ~~Any~~FINANCIAL ~~recoveries~~STATEMENTS, ~~net~~PRO ofFORMA ~~the~~FINANCIAL ~~costs~~INFORMATION ~~of prosecuting the arbitration~~AND ~~and administering the trust, will be distributed by the Liquidation Trust as described above~~ EXHIBITS.

~~There is~~(c) ~~no assurance that there will be sufficient assets to satisfy all of our liabilities, or to pay any portion of the Series C Preferred liquidation preference~~Exhibits. Our disclosure statement projected that available cash would be adequate to pay 70-80% of the unsecured claims made. However, we do plan to challenge certain of the claims and, if successful, of which there is no assurance, we may be able to pay 100% of such claims and retain a small surplus for payment of a small portion of the Series C Liquidation preference. Only holders of record of our Series C Preferred Stock as of February 7, 2005 will be entitled to receive any payments towards the Series C liquidation preference, or to receive any pro rata share of the new common stock allocated to Series C Preferred Stock. Cash distributions shall be made as soon as practicable, as determined by the trustee of the Liquidation Trust. Distributions of the new stock shall be made as soon as practicable after we make certain filings with the SEC which were not made, in light of the uncertainties associated with the bankruptcy, in order to conserve cash. Such filings include our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, which will need to include audited financial statements. In light of the sale of our operating assets to TNS in May, the information to be contained in such reports will be largely irrelevant to stockholders of the reorganized U. S. Wireless Data.

10.1		Form of Subscription Agreement, dated as of December 30, 2005.

Additional details concerning the Plan are in the Amended Disclosure Statement filed with the Court in November in support of the Plan, the Amended Plan of Reorganization and Order Confirming Amended Plan of Reorganization, each of which is filed as an exhibit herewith. SIGNATURE

Tender Offer

In mid-December, we became aware of a tender offer of $0.12 per share for up to 2 million shares of our Series C Preferred Stock that had been launched on December 2, 2005 by Regen Acquisition I, LLC (“Offeror”). The offer expired on December 30, 2004. Although we do not know how many shares were tendered in the offering, according to a Form 3 and 4 filed on January 5, 2005 by Riverside Contracting LLC, (with an address at Offeror), such entity owns 1,204,583 shares of Series C Preferred Stock. We expressed concerns to Offeror that the offer may not have been widely enough published for all holders to have been advised of it and also, that as a result of their late notice to us, our Board had not been able to weigh in with its opinion.

As noted above, due to the fact that we learned of the tender offer so late into the process, we were not in a position to report to our stockholders what our opinion would have been. There are three separate sources of potential recovery for a holder of Series C Preferred Stock and there is no assurance that such sources will not exceed or be less than $0.12 per share. Those sources, as described above in more detail, consist of (i) any cash remaining after payment of our administrative costs and liabilities, (ii) any recovery from the AT&T Wireless arbitration, net of the costs of prosecuting and administering such claim, and (iii) the value of a Series C stockholders shares in the reorganized U. S. Wireless Data.

The Reorganized Company

As soon as practicable after we have filed our late SEC reports, new common stock will be issued to Trinad (93%), holders of record of our Series C Preferred Stock as of February 7, 2005 (3.5%) and holders of record of our common stock as of the same date (3.5%). On that date, Robert Ellin and Jay Wolf shall become our sole Board members and shall also be our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer, respectively, and Barry Regenstein will be our Chief Financial Officer. On that date, we will be capitalized with $100,000 of the $500,000 Trinad has paid, with the $400,000 having been transferred to the Liquidation Trust.

Trinad has advised us that it will seek to raise additional capital (which will dilute the ownership interests of all stockholders) with a view to making us an attractive vehicle with which to acquire a business. It will then seek a suitable acquisition candidate. No such business has been identified and we will be subject to a number of risks, including any acquisition consummated by us may turn out to be unsuccessful; investors in us will not know what operating business, if any, will be acquired, including the particular industry in which the business operates, and whether dilutive financing will be required therewith; the historical operations of a specific business opportunity may not necessarily be indicative of the potential for the future; we may acquire a company in the early stage of development causing us to incur further risks; we may be dependent upon the management of an acquired business which has not proven its abilities or effectiveness; we will be controlled by a small number of stockholders and such control could prevent the taking of certain actions that may be beneficial to other stockholders; our common stock will likely be thinly traded, and the public market may provide little or no liquidity for holders of our common stock.

Trinad has agreed that it will not dispose of any of its common stock until an acquisition transaction has been consummated and a Current Report on Form 8-K setting forth the terms of the acquisition and audited financial statements of the acquisition target have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Certain information as to Messrs. Ellin, Wolf and Regenstein is set forth below.
