Washington, DC 20549 Attn: Ms. Barbara C. Jacobs Ms. Sara Hirsch Re: Ultradata Systems, Incorporated CIK: 0000931947 Registration Statement on Form SB-2 Application for Withdrawal Commission File No. 333-69544 Ladies and Gentlemen: Pursuant to Rule 477(a), promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, Ultradata Systems, Incorporated ("Ultradata") hereby applies for an order granting the immediate withdrawal of its Registration Statement on Form SB-2, together with all exhibits thereto, Commission File No. 333-69544 (collectively, the "Registration Statement"). The Registration Statement was originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 18, 2001. The Registration Statement contemplated the public resale of common shares by four entities that hold derivative securities issued by Ultradata. After the Registration Statement was filed, the two entities which hold convertible promissory notes and warrants entered into an agreement with Ultradata in which they waived their registration rights, conditional only on Ultradata's compliance with the convertible promissory notes. The other two entities hold common stock options whose exercise price is over 1000% of the current market price of Ultradata common shares. No securities have been sold under the Registration Statement. Accordingly, we request that the Commission issue an order granting the withdrawal of the Registration Statement as soon as possible. If you have any questions regarding the foregoing application for withdrawal, please contact Robert Brantl, legal counsel to Ultradata in connection with the Registration Statement, at 718-768-6045. Sincerely, Ultradata Systems, Incorporated /s/ Ernest Clarke ----------------- Ernest Clarke President
