Item 1:

Business

Multiband Corporation (Multiband), (f/k/a Vicom, Incorporated), is a Minnesota corporation formed in September 1975. Multiband has two operating segments: 1) Multiband Consumer Services (MCS, legally known as Multiband Subscriber Services, Inc.), which encompasses the subsidiary corporations, Multiband USA, Inc., URON, Inc., and Rainbow Satellite Group, LLC; and 2) Minnesota Digital Universe, Inc. (MDU).

Multiband completed an initial public offering in June 1984. In November 1992, Multiband became a non-reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In July 2000, Multiband regained its reporting company status. In December 2000, Multiband stock began trading on the NASDAQ stock exchange under the symbol VICM. In July 2004, the symbol was changed to MBND concurrent with the Company's name change from Vicom, Incorporated to Multiband Corporation.

Multiband's website is located at: www.multibandusa.com.

From its inception until December 31, 1998, Multiband operated as a telephone interconnect company only. Effective December 31, 1998, Multiband acquired the assets of the Midwest region of Enstar Networking Corporation (ENC), a data cabling and networking company. In late 1999, in the context of a forward triangular merger, Multiband to expand its range of computer products and related services, purchased the stock of Ekman, Inc. d/b/a Corporate Technologies, and merged Ekman, Inc. into the newly formed surviving corporation, Corporate Technologies, USA, Inc. (MBS). MBS provided voice, data and video systems and services to business and government. The MBS business segment was sold effective March 31, 2005. All references to financial information and descriptions of business in this Form 10-K have been revised to reflect only our continuing operations and all references to our now discontinued Multiband Business Services have been eliminated. MCS segment began in February 2000. MCS provides voice, data and video services to multiple dwelling units (MDUs), including apartment buildings, condominiums and time share resorts. During 2004 the Company purchased video subscribers in a number of separate transactions, the largest one being Rainbow Satellite Group, LLC. During 2004 the Company also purchased the stock of Minnesota Digital Universe, Inc. (MDU segment), which made the Company the largest master service operator in MDU's for DirecTV satellite television in the United States.

Minnesota Digital Universe, Inc. (MDU Segment)

The Company, through its MDU segment , also serves as a master service operator for DirecTV, a provider of satellite television service. DirecTV is the largest provider of satellite television services in the United States with approximately 16 million subscribers. DirecTV competes with the leading cable companies and with Echostar, America's second largest provider of satellite television. The Company, through its direct operations, markets DirecTV services. The MDU segment allows the Company to offer satellite television services to residents of multi-dwelling-units through a network of affiliated operators.

Multiband Consumer Services (MCS Segment)

Since 2000, Multiband has offered voice, data and video services to residents of the multi dwelling unit (MDU) market. Our experience in this market suggests that property owners and managers are currently looking for a solution that will satisfy two market demands from customers. The first market demand from customers that they are dealing with is how to satisfy the residents who desire to bring satellite television service to the unit without being visually unattractive or a structural/maintenance problem. The second is how to provide competitive access for local and long distance telephone cable television and internet services. Our MCS offering addresses these demands and provides the consumer several benefits, including:

o Lower Cost Per Service
o Blended Satellite and Cable Television Package
o Multiple Feature Local Phone Services (features such as call waiting, call forwarding and three-way calling)
o Better than Industry Average Response Times
o One Number for Billing and Service Needs
o One Bill for Local, Long Distance Cable Television and Internet
o “Instant On" Service Availability
 


As we develop and market this package, we keep a marketing focus on two levels of customer for this product. The primary decision-makers are the property owners/managers. Their concerns are focused on delivering their residents reliability, quality of service, short response times, minimized disruptions on the property, minimized alterations to the property and value added services. Each of these concerns is addressed in our contracts with the property owner, which includes annual reviews and 10 year terms as service providers on the property. The secondary customer is the end-user. We provide the property with on-going marketing support for their leasing agents to deliver clear, concise and timely information on our services. This will include simple sign up options that should maximize our penetration of the property.

When taken as a whole, and based on Multiband’s interpretations of U.S. Census Bureau statistics, cable television, telephone and internet services currently generate over $170 billion of revenues annually in the U.S, with an estimated 26 million households living in MDUs. We believe these statistics indicate stable growing markets with demand that is likely to deliver significant values to businesses that can obtain a subscriber base of any meaningful size.

Multiband Consumer Industry Analysis
Strategy

For the near future, the services described below will be offered primarily in New York, California, Minnesota, Florida, Illinois, Missouri and North Dakota. Our primary competition will come from the local incumbent providers of telephone and cable television services.

Local Telephone Service

We compete with the former Bell System companies such as Verizon Communications (Verizon) and Qwest Communications International, Inc. (Qwest) for local telephone services. Although those companies have become the standard for local telephone service, we believe we have the ability to under price their service while maintaining high levels of customer satisfaction.

Cable Television Service

We compete with Comcast Corporation (Comcast), Time Warner and others for pay-TV customers. Comcast and Time-Warner are national cable television service providers. We believe we have a significant consumer benefit in that we are establishing private rather than public television systems, which allows us to deliver a package that is not laden with local "public access" stations that clog the basic service package. In essence, we will be able to deliver a customized service offering to each property based upon pre-installation market research that we perform. The pricing of our service is also untariffed which allows for flexible and competitive "bundling" of services.

Long Distance Telephone Service

Cingular-Wireless, LLC (Cingular), MCI, Inc. (MCI), and Sprint Corporation (Sprint) are our principal competitors in providing long distance telephone service. They offer new products almost weekly. Our primary concern in this marketplace is to assure that we are competitive with the most recent advertised offerings in the "long distance wars." We will meet this challenge by staying within a penny of the most current offering, while still maintaining a high gross margin on our product. We accomplish this through various carrier agency associations. We expect to generate a high penetration in our long distance services amongst our local service subscribers because private property owners in the shared tenant environment (similar to a hotel environment) are not required to offer multiple long distance carriers to their tenants.

Internet Access Service

The clear frontrunners in this highly unregulated market are America Online, Inc., Comcast and Netzero. They compete with local exchange carriers, long distance carriers, Internet backbone companies and many local ISPs (Internet Service Providers). The general concern among consumers is the quality of the connection and the speed of the download. We believe our design provides the highest broadband connection speeds that are currently available. The approach that we will market is "blocks of service." Essentially, we deliver the same high bit rate service in small, medium and large packages, with an appropriate per unit cost reduction for those customers that will commit to a higher monthly expenditure.
 


Market Description

We are currently marketing Multiband services to MDU properties primarily throughout Minnesota, North Dakota, Missouri, Florida, New York, California and Illinois. We will target properties that range from 50 to 150 units on a contiguous MDU property for television and Internet access only. We will survey properties that exceed 150 units for the feasibility of local and long distance telephone services.

We are initially concentrating on middle to high-end rental complexes. We are also pursuing resort area condominiums. A recent U.S. Census Bureau table indicates that there are more than 65,000 properties in the United States that fit this profile. Assuming an average of 100 units per complex, our focus is on a potential subscriber base of 6,500,000.

A recent Property Owners and Manager Survey, published by the U.S. Census Bureau , shows that the rental properties are focusing on improving services and amenities that are available to their tenants. These improvements are being undertaken to reduce tenant turnover, relieve pricing pressures on rents and attract tenants from competing properties. We believe that most of these owners or managers are not interested in being "in the technology business" and will use the services that we are offering. Various iterations of this package will allow the owners to share in the residual income stream from the subscriber base.

Number of Units/Customers

At March 25, 2006, MCS had 42,167 subscriptions for its services, (1,341 voice subscriptions, 36,673 video subscriptions and 4,153 internet subscriptions). At March 25, 2006, MDU had approximately 75,331 video subscriptions managed through its network of system operators.

Employees

As of March 25, 2006, Multiband employed three full-time management employees, eight accounting personnel, and eight information technology employees. As of that same date, MCS had 76 full-time employees, consisting of nine in sales and marketing, thirty-one in technical positions, thirty in customer service and related support, and six in management. MDU had two management employees.

Item 1A:

Risk Factors

Our operations and our securities are subject to a number of risks, including but not limited to those described below. If any of the following risks actually occur, the business, financial condition or operating results of Multiband and the trading price or value of our common stock could be materially adversely affected.

General

Multiband, since 1998, has taken several significant steps to reinvent and reposition itself to take advantage of opportunities presented by a shifting economy and industry environment.

Recognizing that voice, data and video technologies in the late twentieth century were beginning to systematically integrate as industry manufacturers were evolving technological standards from "closed" proprietary networking architectures to a more "open" flexible and integrated approach, Multiband, between 1998 and 2001, purchased three competitors which, in the aggregate, possessed expertise in data networking, voice and data cabling and video distribution technologies.

In early 2000, Multiband created its MCS division, employing the aforementioned expertise, to provide communications and entertainment services (local dial tone, long distance, high-speed internet and expanded satellite television services) to residents in MDUs on one billing platform, which the Company developed internally.

The specific risk factors, as detailed below, should be analyzed in the context of the Company's anticipated MCS related growth.
 


Net Losses

The Company had net losses of $7,475,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005, $9,783,962 for the year ended December 31, 2004, and $4,365,004 for the year ended December 31, 2003. Multiband may never be profitable.
 
The prolonged effects of generating losses without additional funding may restrict our ability to pursue our business strategy. Unless our business plan is successful, an investment in our common stock may result in a complete loss of an investor's capital.

If we cannot achieve profitability from operating activities, we may not be able to meet:
o our capital expenditure objectives;
o our debt service obligations; or
o our working capital needs.

Working Capital Deficit

The Company had a working capital deficiency of ($971,418) and ($8,931,414), as of December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively; primarily due to operating losses and acquisition related debt. Although both operating losses and acquisition related debts were reduced during 2005, there is no assurance the Company will have positive working capital or be able to meet its working capital needs in future periods.
 
Goodwill

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" which changed the amortization rules on recorded goodwill from a monthly amortization to a periodic "impairment" analysis for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. In 2004, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $2,748,879 related to Multiband Business Services which is included in discontinued operations at December 31, 2004. As of December 31, 2005, the Company had remaining recorded goodwill of $954,871 primarily related to the purchase of Rainbow Satellite Group, LLC. and the purchase of certain assets of Dinamo Entertainment, Inc.

Deregulation

Several regulatory and judicial proceedings have recently concluded, are underway or may soon be commenced that address issues affecting operations and those of our competitors, which may cause significant changes to our industry. We cannot predict the outcome of these developments, nor can we assure you that these changes will not have a material adverse effect on us. Historically, we have been a reseller of products and services, not a manufacturer or carrier requiring regulation of its activities. Pursuant to Minnesota statutes, our Multiband activity is specifically exempt from the need to tariff our services in MDU's. However, the Telecommunications Act of 1996 provides for significant deregulation of the telecommunications industry, including the local telecommunications and long-distance industries. This federal statute and the related regulations remain subject to judicial review and additional rule-makings of the Federal Communications Commission, making it difficult to predict what effect the legislation will have on us, our operations, and our competitors.

Dependence on Strategic Alliances

Several suppliers or potential suppliers of Multiband, such as McLeod, WorldCom, WS Net, XO Communications and others have filed for bankruptcy in recent years. While the financial distress of its suppliers or potential suppliers could have a material adverse effect on Multiband's business, Multiband believes that enough alternate suppliers exist to allow the Company to execute its business plans. The Company is also highly dependent on its Master System Operator agreement with DirecTV. The initial term of the agreement, which expires in August 2008, is for three years and provides for two additional two-year renewals if the Company has a minimum number of paying video subscribers in its system operator network. . Although an alternate provider of satellite television services, Echostar, exists, the termination of its agreements with DirecTV could have a material adverse effect on Multiband's business.

Changes in Technology

A portion of our projected future revenue is dependent on public acceptance of broadband and expanded satellite television services. Acceptance of these services is partially dependent on the infrastructure of the internet and satellite television which is beyond Multiband's control. In addition, newer technologies, such as video-on-demand, are being developed which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's competitiveness in the marketplace if Multiband is unable to adopt or deploy such technologies.
 


Attraction and Retention of Employees

Multiband's success depends on the continued employment of certain key personnel, including executive officers. If Multiband were unable to continue to attract and retain a sufficient number of qualified key personnel, its business, operating results and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected. In addition, Multiband's success depends on its ability to attract, develop, motivate and retain highly skilled and educated professionals with a wide variety of management, marketing, selling and technical capabilities. Competition for such personnel is intense and is expected to increase in the future.

Intellectual Property Rights

Multiband relies on a combination of trade secret, copyright, and trademark laws, license agreements, and contractual arrangements with certain key employees to protect its proprietary rights and the proprietary rights of third parties from which Multiband licenses intellectual property. Multiband also relies on agreements with owners of MDUs which grant the Company rights of access for a specific period to MDU premises whereby Multiband is allowed to offer its voice, data, and video services to individual residents of the MDUs. If it was determined that Multiband infringed the intellectual property rights of others, it could be required to pay substantial damages or stop selling products and services that contain the infringing intellectual property, which could have a material adverse effect on Multiband's business, financial condition and results of operations. Also, there can be no assurance that Multiband would be able to develop non-infringing technology or that it could obtain a license on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Multiband's success depends in part on its ability to protect the proprietary and confidential aspects of its technology and the products and services it sells. There can be no assurance that the legal protections afforded to Multiband or the steps taken by Multiband will be adequate to prevent misappropriation of Multiband's intellectual property.

Variability of Quarterly Operating Results

Variations in Multiband's revenues and operating results occur from quarter to quarter as a result of a number of factors, including customer engagements commenced and completed during a quarter, the number of business days in a quarter, employee hiring and utilization rates, the ability of customers to terminate engagements without penalty, the size and scope of assignments and general economic conditions. Because a significant portion of Multiband's expenses are relatively fixed, a variation in the number of customer projects or the timing of the initiation or completion of projects could cause significant fluctuations in operating results from quarter to quarter.

Certain Anti-Takeover Effects

Multiband is subject to Minnesota statutes regulating business combinations and restricting voting rights of certain persons acquiring shares of Multiband. These anti-takeover statutes may render more difficult or tend to discourage a merger, tender offer or proxy contest, the assumption of control by a holder of a large block of Multiband's securities, or the removal of incumbent management.

Volatility of Multiband's Common Stock

The trading price of our common stock has been and is likely to be volatile. The stock market has experienced extreme volatility, and this volatility has often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. We cannot be sure that an active public market for our common stock will continue after this offering. Investors may not be able to sell the common stock at or above the price they paid for their common stock, or at all. Prices for the common stock will be determined in the marketplace and may be influenced by many factors, including variations in our financial results, changes in earnings estimates by industry research analysts, investors' perceptions of us and general economic, industry and market conditions.

Future Sales of Our Common Stock May Lower Our Stock Price

If our existing shareholders sell a large number of shares of our common stock, the market price of the common stock could decline significantly. The perception in the public market that our existing shareholders might sell shares of common stock could depress our market price.
 


Competition

We face competition from others who are competing for a share of the MDU market, including other satellite companies, cable companies and telephone companies. Some of these companies have significantly greater assets and resources than we do.

Forward-Looking Statements

This document contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities law. Terminology such as "may," "will," "expect," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "continue," "predict," or other similar words, identify forward-looking statements. These statements discuss future expectations, contain projections of results of operations or of financial condition or state other forward-looking information. Forward-looking statements appear in a number of places in this prospectus and include statements regarding our intent, belief or current expectation about, among other things, trends affecting the industries in which we operate, as well as the industries we service, and our business and growth strategies. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those predicted in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth in "Risk Factors."

Item 2:

Properties

Multiband and its subsidiaries lease principal offices located at 2000 44th Street SW, Fargo, ND 58103 and 9449 Science Center Drive, New Hope, Minnesota 55428. We have no foreign operations. The main Fargo office lease expires in 2017 and covers approximately 22,500 square feet. The Fargo base rent ranges from $31,190 to $31,985 per month. The New Hope office lease expires in 2013 and covers approximately 47,000 square feet. The New Hope base rent ranges from $19,443 to $25,166 per month. Both the New Hope and Fargo leases have provisions that call for the tenants to pay net operating expenses, including property taxes, related to the facilities. Both offices have office, warehouse and training facilities.

Multiband considers its current facilities adequate for its current needs and believes that suitable additional space would be available as needed.

Item 3:

Legal Proceedings

The Company is involved in legal actions in the ordinary course of business.. However, as of December 31, 2005, Multiband was not engaged in any pending legal proceedings where, in the opinion of the Company, the outcome is likely to have a material adverse effect upon the business, operating results and financial condition of the Company.

Item 4:

Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

The Company did not submit matters to a vote of security holders during the last quarter of the year covered by this report.
 


PART II

Item 5:

Market for the Registrant's Common Equity, Related Shareholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

In 2005, the Company issued ten million dollars worth of Preferred Stock to a group of institutional investors.

In 2005, the Company issued $1,819,220 worth of common stock to various accredited investors.

In 2004, the Company, via accredited investor purchasers of common stock, exercise of warrants, or other conversion into common stock, issued 2.3 million common shares at various prices, netting proceeds of approximately $3.2 million.

The Company in 2004 issued $212,110 worth of its common stock to Pyramid Trading LP in connection with conversion of a note payable and accrued interest. The common stock was issued at various prices pursuant to a formula tied to the trading price of the Company's common stock.

The Company in 2004 issued $230,909 worth of its common stock to Laurus Master Fund Ltd in connection with conversion of a note payable. The common stock was issued at a conversion rate of $1.40.

At various other times in 2004, the Company issued $194,575 worth of common stock in connection with conversion of interest and notes payable. The common stock was issued at various prices pursuant to a formula tied to the trading price of the Company's common stock.

The Company, during 2004, issued $452,450 worth of Class G Preferred Stock and $1,083,341 worth of Class H Preferred Stock to various accredited investors.
 


In connection with these sales, we relied on the exemption from registration provided by Sections 4(2) and 4(6) of the Securities Act of 1933, as well as Rule 506 of Regulation D based on (i) our belief that the issuances did not involve a public offering, (ii) the transactions involved fewer than 35 purchasers, and (iii) because we had a reasonable basis to believe that each of the shareholders were either accredited or otherwise had sufficient knowledge and sophistication, either alone or with a purchaser representative, to appreciate and evaluate the risks and merits associated with their investment decision.

Common Stock

Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share in all matters to be voted upon by shareholders. There is no cumulative voting for the election of directors, which means that the holders of shares entitled to exercise more than 50% of the voting rights in the election of directors are able to elect all of the directors. Multiband's Articles of Incorporation provide that holders of the Company's common stock do not have preemptive rights to subscribe for and to purchase additional shares of common stock or other obligations convertible into shares of common stock which may be issued by the Company.

Holders of common stock are entitled to receive such dividends as are declared by Multiband's Board of Directors out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends. Multiband presently intends not to pay any dividends on the common stock for the foreseeable future. Any future determination as to the declaration and payment of dividends will be made at the discretion of the Board of Directors. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Multiband, and subject to the preferential rights of the holders of the various classes of Multiband’s preferred stocks, the holders of common stock will be entitled to receive a pro rata share of the net assets of Multiband remaining after payment or provision for payment of the debts and other liabilities of Multiband.

All of the outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and non-assessable. Holders of common stock of Multiband are not liable for further calls or assessments.

The Company's Board of Directors has not declared any dividends on our common stock since our inception, and does not intend to pay out any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We presently intend to retain all earnings, if any, to provide for our growth. The payment of cash dividends in the future, if any, will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend upon such factors as earnings levels, capital requirements, our financial condition and other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors.

Preferred Stock

In December 1998, Multiband issued 2,550 shares of Class A Preferred for $23,638 and 37,550 shares of Class B Preferred for $359,893. The Class B Preferred was offered to certain note holders at a conversion rate of $10.00 per share of Class B Preferred. Each share of Class A Preferred and Class B Preferred is non-voting (except as otherwise required by law) and convertible into five shares of common stock, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. Each holder of a share of Class A Preferred or Class B Preferred has a five-year warrant to purchase one share of common stock at $3.00 per share, subject to adjustment. During 2001, Multiband issued 67,655 shares of Class A Preferred for $676,556.

In June 2000, Multiband issued 80,500 shares of Class C Preferred for $805,000. The Class C Preferred was offered to certain note holders at a conversion rate of $10.00 a share. In September 2000, Multiband issued an additional 72,810 shares of Class C Preferred for $728,100. Each share of Class C Preferred is non-voting (except as otherwise required by law) and convertible into two shares of Multiband common stock, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances.

Revenues:
Total revenues from continuing operations increased 49.2 % from $11,067,834 in 2004 to $16,515,426 in 2005. Revenue from the MCS segment increased to $7,943,266 in 2005 from $5,227,696 in 2004. The MDU segment had revenues of $8,572,160 in 2005 and $5,840,138 in 2004. This significant increase in revenues is primarily due to the Company experiencing a full twelve months of revenues in 2005 related to material acquisitions made during the middle of 2004. The Company anticipates any revenue growth in 2006 will primarily come from adding services to new and existing properties versus further acquisitions.

Costs of Products and Services:
Total costs of products and services were $7,849,597 in 2005 compared to $5,943,395 in 2004. MCS segment cost of products and services were $4,332,111 in 2005 and $2,731,585 in 2004. MDU segment costs of products and services were $3,517,486 in 2005 and $3,211,810 in 2004. The significant increase in costs of products and services resulted directly from a material increase in revenues in 2005 over 2004. The Company expects costs of products and services as a percentage of revenue to remain stable in future periods due to the relative predictability of the costs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense:
Selling, general and administrative expenses from continuing operations increased 62.4 % to $9,723,132 in 2005, compared to $5,986,267 in 2004. The increase in expenses was directly related to the Company’s increase in revenues. Furthermore, the Company’s integration of various accounting, information technology, marketing and customer service activities from its 2004 acquisitions produced material start up and additional expense. Selling, general and administrative expenses were, as a percentage of revenues, 58.9% for 2005 and 54.1% for 2004. The Company hopes these expenses will decline as a percentage of revenues throughout 2006 as the aforementioned integration expenses should be mitigated.
 


Interest Expense
Interest expense was $1,882,910 for 2005 versus $1,055,488 for 2004, reflecting primarily an increase in original issue discount expense.

Net Loss
The Company, in 2005, showed a net loss of $7,475,000, inclusive of a gain from discontinued operations, which totaled $17,827. The Company’s net loss for 2004 totaled $9,783,962, inclusive of the loss from discontinued operations which was $4,457,320.

Years Ended December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003

This discussion does not include the results of discontinued operations.

Revenues
Total revenues from continuing operations increased 668.0% from $1,441,118 in 2003 to $11,067,834 in 2004. Revenue from the MCS segment increased to $5,227,696 in 2004 from $1,441,118 in 2003. The MDU segment had revenues of $5,840,138 in 2004 and $0 in 2003. This significant increase in revenues is primarily due to the Company’s acquisition of subscriber related assets in 2004 which produced a material increase in consumer recurring revenues. These acquisitions led primarily to the Company in 2004 growing from approximately 6,800 subscribers to approximately 30,000 subscribers. The Company’s revenues are expected to increase in 2005, even without further acquisitions, as the Company will experience a full year’s worth of revenues from these acquisitions made in 2004.

Cost of Products and Services
The cost of products and services was $5,943,395 in 2004 compared to $884,536 in 2003. MCS segment cost of products and services were $2,731,585 in 2004 and $884,536 in 2003. MDU segment costs of products and services were $3,211,810 in 2004 and $0 in 2003. The significant increase in costs of products and services resulted from the revenue generated from acquisition of subscriber related assets. The Company expects costs of products and services as a percentage of revenue to remain stable in future periods due to the relative predictability of the costs.
 


Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses from continuing operations increased 126.1% to $5,986,267 in 2004, compared to $2,647,870 in 2003. The increase in expenses was directly related to the Company's increase in revenues. Furthermore, the Company's integration of various accounting, information technology and customer service activities from its 2004 acquisitions produced material start up and additional expense. Selling, general and administrative expenses were, as a percentage of revenues, 54.09 % for 2004 and 183.73% for 2003. The Company expects these expenses to decline as a percentage of revenues throughout 2005 as the aforementioned integration expenses should be mitigated.

Interest Expense
Interest expense was $1,055,488 for 2004 versus $488,156 for 2003, reflecting an increase in debt related to acquisitions.

Net Loss
The Company, in 2004, showed a net loss of $9,783,962, inclusive of the loss from discontinued operations, which totaled $4,457,320. The Company's net loss in 2003 totaled $4,365,004 which included a discontinued operations loss of $692,956. Included in the loss from discontinued operations was an impairment of goodwill of $2,748,879 for the year ended December 31, 2004 (see Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements for further detail).
 


Un-audited Quarterly Results
The following table sets forth certain un-audited quarterly operating information for each of the eight quarters in the two-year period ending December 31, 2005.

Results for any previous fiscal quarter are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year or for any future quarter. The Company has historically experienced a seasonal fluctuation in its operating results, with a larger proportion of its revenues in the third quarter of the fiscal year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Year Ended December 31, 2005

Available working capital deficit for 2005 decreased to $971,418 primarily due to payment of acquisition related debt load. Accounts receivable decreased by $239,910 in 2005 primarily due to the Company’s asset sale of its MBS division and the liquidation of MBS receivables. Current liabilities decreased in 2005 by $7,195,450 due primarily to the aforementioned MBS sale and retirement of short-term debt. In addition, current maturities of long-term debt decreased by $908,267 as of December 31, 2005 versus December 31, 2004 due to continued scheduled pay down of debt. Inventories decreased from year to year due to the Company's need to carry fewer inventories in its consumer services division versus its discontinued business services division.

Total long term debt and capital lease obligations decreased by $640,586 during the year ended December 31, 2005. Multiband paid out $216,583 related to capital lease obligations and $2,690,766 related to long term debt during the year ended December 31, 2005 versus $420,480 paid out in 2004.

The Company used $976,477 for capital expenditures during 2005, as compared to $748,704 in 2004. This increase was related to additional purchases required and additional build out of video and internet services to MDU properties as a result of the business acquisitions made during 2005. Capital expenditures in 2006 are dependent on the Company obtaining debt or equity financings in 2006.

Net cash used by operations in 2005 was $3,817,058 as compared to cash used by operations in 2004 of $2,289,645. This use of cash reflects significant reduction in accounts payable over the prior year and the payoff of a wholesale line of credit, both related to the sale of the Company’s MBS division and related reductions in current liabilities. During the years ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the Company incurred significant net losses. Although the majority of the 2005 loss was due to non-cash expenses, the Company in 2005 still continued to incur cash losses as well due to general corporate expense. However, those cash operating losses decreased significantly in 2005 versus 2004 due to the increase in non-cash depreciation, amortization, and amortization of original issue discount as well as by the on-going additions of MCS properties in the Company's portfolio which provided improved cash flows.

In February 2005, the Company sold ten million dollars worth of Class I convertible preferred stock. Proceeds from this financing were used to secure ownership of previous acquisitions, perform new acquisitions and build out additional services to MDU properties. All these activities improved the Company’s operating performance. Continued improvement of Company operating performance and execution of our business strategy will require additional funding in 2006. The Company’s operating performance indicates that performance on a MDU property level improves when the Company offers two or three services at a property versus a single service. Although the Company believes it is possible to obtain additional financing to build infrastructure and add services in 2006 by leveraging its asset base, there is no assurance this financing will be obtained. Thus, the lack of additional funding combined with continued operating losses in 2006 may restrict our ability to continue to improve our operating performance by adding services at MDU properties. However as of December 31, 2005, even without additional funding, based on current operating results, management believes existing cash and capital resources are adequate to meet anticipated liquidity requirements during 2006.

Year Ended December 31, 2004

Available working capital for 2004 decreased to $8,931,414 primarily due to acquisition related debt load. Accounts receivable increased by $1,160,198 in 2004 due to a significant increase in consumer revenues. Current liabilities increased in 2004 $8,298,728 due primarily to higher accounts payable and accrued liabilities directly related to the increase in consumer revenues. In addition, current maturities of long-term debt increased $525,714 and short-term debt increased $4,481,099 as of December 31, 2004 versus December 31, 2003, due to the short-term debt issued related to the 2004 acquisitions. Inventories decreased by $135,024 due to the Company's need to carry fewer inventories in its consumer services division versus its discontinued business services division.

Total long term debt and capital lease obligations increased by $2,422,157 during the year ended December 31, 2004. Multiband paid out $74,902 related to capital lease obligations and $345,578 related to long term debt during the year ended December 31, 2004 versus $276,069 paid out in 2003.
 


The Company used $748,704 for capital expenditures during 2004, as compared to $526,936 in 2003. This increase was related to additional purchases required as a result of the business acquisitions made during 2004. Capital expenditures in 2005 are expected to be consistent with those in 2004.

In November 2004, the Company borrowed $2,166,667 from a group of accredited institutional investors. The notes are convertible into shares of common stock at $1.00 per share. The notes accrue interest at the rate of 6% per annum, which interest is payable semi-annual in cash or common stock at the Company's election.

Net cash used by operations in 2004 was $2,289,645 as compared to cash used by operations in 2003 of $2,580,248. This reduction reflects improved performance from operations, exclusive of non cash expenses. During the years ended December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, the Company incurred significant net losses. Although the majority of those losses were due to non-cash expenses, the Company in 2004 still continued to incur cash losses as well due to general corporate expense. However, those cash losses decreased significantly in 2004 versus 2003 by the on-going additions of MCS properties in the Company's portfolio which provided improved cash flows.

Critical Accounting Policies

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company's long-lived assets include property, equipment and leasehold improvement. At December 31, 2005, the Company had net property and equipment of $5,247,240, which represents approximately 20% of the Company's total assets. The estimated fair value of these assets is dependent on the Company's future performance. In assessing for potential impairment for these assets, the Company considers future performance. If these forecasts are not met, the Company may have to record an impairment charge not previously recognized, which may be material. In 2005, 2004 and 2003, the Company did not record any impairment.

Impairment of Goodwill

We periodically evaluate acquired businesses for potential impairment indicators. Our judgments regarding the existence of impairment indicators are based on legal factors, market conditions and operational performance of our acquired businesses. Future events could cause us to conclude that impairment indicators exist and that goodwill associated with our acquired businesses, which amounts to $954,871, as of December 31, 2005, may be impaired. Any resulting impairment loss could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations. In 2004, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $2,748,879 related to Multiband Business Services which is included in discontinued operations at December 31, 2004. During the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2003, the Company did not record any impairment losses related to goodwill.

Inventories

We value our inventory at the lower of the actual cost or the current estimated market value of the inventory. We regularly review inventory quantities on hand and record a provision for excess and obsolete inventory. Rapid technological change, frequent new product development, and rapid product obsolescence that could result in an increase in the amount of obsolete inventory quantities on hand characterize our industry.

Impairment of Intangible Assets

The intangible assets consist of rights of entry contracts, customer cable lists, debt issuance costs, domain name and access contracts. These intangibles are being amortized over their estimated useful lives ranging from 36 to 120 months. If significant changes would occur to the estimated future cash flow associated with these intangibles, the Company would determine if there is impairment and reduce the value of the intangibles based on the reduction of such cash flows. At December 31, 2005, the Company had net intangibles of $13,923,542 which represented approximately 53% of the Company’s total assets. In 2005, 2004 and 2003, the Company did not record an impairment related to the intangible assets.
 


Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2004, Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment", that focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. This statement replaces SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." Beginning with the quarterly period that begins January 1, 2006, the Company will be required to expense the fair value of employee stock options and similar awards. As a public company, the Company is allowed to select from two alternative transition methods, each having different reporting implications. The impact of SFAS No. 123R for the year ending December 31, 2006 is estimated to be approximately $675,000 based on the value of the options outstanding as of December 31, 2005 that will vest during the year ending December 31, 2006. This estimate does not include any expenses for options that may be granted and vested during 2006.

In June 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections”, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3 The statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle, and changes the requirements for accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior period’s financial statements of a voluntary change in accounting principle unless it is impracticable. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The statement does not change the transition provisions of any existing accounting pronouncements, including those that are in a transition phase as of the effective date of this statement. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 154 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Forward Looking Statements

From time to time, the Company may publish forward-looking statements relating to such matters as anticipated financial performance, business prospects, technological developments, new products, and similar matters. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements including those made in this document. In order to comply with the terms of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act, the Company notes that a variety of factors could cause the Company's actual results and experience to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the Company's forward-looking statements. The risks and uncertainties that may affect the operations, performance, developments and results of the Company's business include the following: national and regional economic conditions; pending and future legislation affecting the IT and telecommunications industry; stability of foreign governments; market acceptance of the Company's products and services; the Company's continued ability to provide integrated communication solutions for customers in a dynamic industry; the Company’s ability to raise additional financing and other competitive factors. Because these and other factors could affect the Company's operating results, past financial performance should not necessarily be considered as a reliable indicator of future performance, and investors should not use historical trends to anticipate future period results.
 


Item 7A

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

Multiband is not subject to any material interest rate risk as any current lending agreements are at a fixed rate of interest except for the notes payable to Laurus Master Fund, Ltd., which is three percent over the prime interest rate and the Convergent Capital note of $2,500,000, which varies from 11% to 14%, dependent on the Company’s common stock price. Multiband also has variable rate % of Class I Convertible Preferred Stock which bears dividends based on a basis of prime.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To Stockholders, Board of Directors, and Audit Committee
Multiband Corporation and subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Multiband Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Multiband Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

MULTIBAND CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003



NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


Nature of Business

Multiband Corporation and subsidiaries, (the Company) was incorporated in Minnesota in September 1975. The Company provides voice, data and video services to multi-dwelling unit customers. The Company's products and services are sold to customers located throughout the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern that contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. For the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, the Company incurred net losses of $7,475,000, $9,783,962, and $4,365,004, respectively. At December 31, 2005, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $55,531,838. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on it ultimately achieving profitability and/or raising additional capital. Management intends to obtain additional debt or equity capital to meet all of its existing cash obligations and fund commitments on planned Multiband projects; however, there can be no assurance that the sources will be available or available on terms favorable to the Company. Management anticipates that the impact of the actions listed below will generate sufficient cash flows to pay current liabilities, long-term debt and capital lease obligations and fund the Company's future operations:

1.
Continued reduction of operating expenses by controlling payroll, professional fees and other general and administrative expenses.
2.
Solicit additional equity investment in the Company by either issuing preferred or common stock.
3.
Continue to market Multiband services and acquire additional multi-dwelling unit customers.
4.
Control capital expenditures by contracting Multiband services and equipment through a landlord-owned equipment program.
5.
Establish market for wireless internet services.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Multiband Corporation (MB) and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Corporate Technologies, USA, Inc. (CTU), URON, Inc., Minnesota Digital, Inc. (MDU), Rainbow Satellite Group, LLC (Rainbow) and Multiband, Inc. (Multiband) which provides voice, data and video services to residential multi-dwelling units. In February 2003, the Company formed a 50% owned subsidiary, Multiband USA, Inc. (MB USA) with Pace Electronics, Inc. (PACE) a video wholesaler, and provides the same services as Multiband). On January 1, 2004, the Company purchased the 50% PACE interest in Multiband USA. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

On January 1, 2004, the Company merged Multiband into CTU.

Discontinued Operations

During the first quarter of 2005, the Company sold certain assets and transferred certain liabilities related to its Multiband Business Services (a/k/a CTU). The Company began discussions and efforts to sell these assets in the fourth quarter of 2004. These assets met the requirements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, “Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” as being held for sale. Operations and cash flows will be eliminated as a result of the sale and the Company will not have any significant involvement in the operations after the sale.

Revenues and Cost Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the Securities Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 (SAB 104) “Revenue Recognition”, which requires that four basic criteria be met before revenue can be recognized: (i) persuasive evidence of a customer arrangement exists; (ii) the price is fixed or determinable; (iii) collectibility is reasonable assured; and (iv) product delivery has occurred or services have been rendered. Discontinued operations revenues were recognized as products were shipped based on FOB shipping point terms when title passed to customers.

The Company earns revenues from six sources: 1) Video and computer technology products which are sold but not installed, 2) Voice, video and data communication products which are sold and installed, 3) Service revenues related to communication products which are sold and both installed and not installed 4) Multiband user charges to multiple dwelling units 5) MB USA user charges to timeshares, and 6) MDU earns revenue primarily through the activation of and residual fees on video programming services.

Revenues from video and computer technology products, which are sold but not installed, are recognized when delivered and the customer has accepted the terms and has the ability to fulfill the terms. Product returns and customer discounts are netted against revenues. This revenue has been included with discontinued operations.

Customers contract for both the purchase and installation of voice and data networking technology products and certain video technologies products on one sales agreement, as installation of the product is essential to the functionality of the product. Revenue is recognized when the products are delivered and installed and the customer has accepted the terms and has the ability to fulfill the terms. This revenue has been included with discontinued operations. Service revenues related to technology products including consulting, training and support are recognized when the services are provided. Service revenues accounted for less than 10% of total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003. The Company, if the customer elects, enters into equipment maintenance agreements for products sold once the original manufacturer's warranty has expired. Revenues from all equipment maintenance agreements are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of each contract. Costs for services are expensed as incurred. This revenue has been included with discontinued operations.

Revenue generated from activation on video programming services is earned in the month of activation. According to the Company's agreement with DirecTV, in the event that a customer cancels within the first 12 months of service, DirecTV has the right to chargeback the Company for a portion of the activation fees received. In accordance with Securities Exchange Commission SAB 104, the Company has estimated the potential charge back of commissions received on activation fees during the past 12 months based on historical percentages of customer cancellations and has included that amount as a reduction of revenue. Residual income is earned as services are provided by DirecTV through its system operators. As a master system operator for DirecTV, the Company earns a fixed percentage based on net cash received by DirecTV for recurring monthly services and a variable amount depending on the number of activations in a given month. The Company’s master system operator contract with DirecTV also permits the Company to earn revenues through its control of other system operators who are unable to provide DirecTV video programming services without the Company’s performance.

The Company has determined that the accounting policies for income recognition described above were in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 99-19, “Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent”. EITF No. 99-19 employs multi-factor tests to determine whether amounts charged to customers in respect of certain expenses incurred should be included in revenues or netted against such expenses.

The Company reports the aforementioned voice, data, and video revenues on a gross basis based on the following factors: the Company has the primary obligation in the arrangement with its customers; the Company controls the pricing of its services; the Company performs customer service for the agreements; the Company approves customers; and the Company assumes the risk of payment for services provided. The Company reports DirecTV revenue on a net basis.

Multiband, Rainbow, MDU and MB USA user charges are recognized as revenues in the period the related services are provided in accordance with SAB 104. Any amounts billed prior to services being provided are reported as deferred service obligations and revenues.

Warranty costs incurred on new product sales are substantially reimbursed by the equipment suppliers.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company includes as cash equivalents, investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased, which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash. The Company deposits its cash in high credit quality financial institutions. The balances, at times, may exceed federally insured limits.

Certificate of Deposit

The Company had a certificate of deposit which matured in December 2005.

Accounts Receivable

The Company reviews customers' credit history before extending unsecured credit and establishes an allowance for uncollectible accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers and other information. Credit risk on accounts receivable is minimized as a result of the large and diverse nature of the Company's customer base. Invoices are due 30 days after presentation. Accounts receivable over 30 days are considered past due. The Company does not accrue interest on past due accounts receivable. Receivables are written off only after all collection attempts have failed and are based on individual credit evaluation and specific circumstances of the customer. Accounts receivable are shown net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts of $386,000, and $225,000 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Inventories

Inventories, included as inventories and current assets of discontinued operations on the balance sheet, consisting principally of purchased telecommunication, networking and computer equipment and parts, are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using an average cost method for telecommunication and networking equipment and the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method for computer equipment. Non-monetary exchanges of inventory items with third parties are recorded at the net book value of the items exchanged with no gains or losses recognized.

Property and Equipment

Property, equipment and leasehold improvements are recorded at cost. Improvements are capitalized while repairs and maintenance costs are charged to operations when incurred. Property and equipment is depreciated or amortized using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging from three to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the assets.

Debt Issuance Costs

Debt issuance costs are amortized over the life of the loans of approximately 18 to 36 months using the straight-line method, which approximates the interest method.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The Company applies the FASB SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” which sets forth new financial and reporting standards for the acquisition of intangible assets, other than those acquired in a business combination, and for goodwill and other intangible assets subsequent to their acquisition. This accounting standard requires that goodwill no longer be amortized but tested for impairment on a periodic basis.

The Company performed the required goodwill impairment test during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. As part of compliance with this standard, the Company obtained an independent appraisal to assess the fair value of its business units to determine whether goodwill carried on its books was impaired and the extent of such impairment, if any for the year ended December 31, 2004. For the year ended December 31, 2004, the independent appraisal used the discounted future returns method; future benefits over a period of time are estimated and then discounted back to present value. Based upon this independent appraisal, the Company determined that it was partially impaired. The Company recorded an impairment of $2,748,879 related to the Corporate Technologies (CTU) acquisition during the year ended December 31, 2004 and the impairment is included in discontinued operations on the consolidated statement of operations.

The Company reviewed goodwill and determined it was not impaired and is fairly stated at December 31, 2005. The balance of goodwill at December 31, 2005 and 2004 was $954,871 and $812,366, respectively (see Note 2).

Estimated amortization expense of intangible assets for the years ending December 31, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 , 2010 and 2011 is $3,471,076,$3,203,471, $3,021,413, $2,895,843, $1,104,026, and $227,705 , respectively. The weighted average remaining life of the intangibles is 4.1 years with right of entry average life of 5.6 years and customer cable lists of 4.0 years. The change in goodwill for 2005 relates to $150,000 of goodwill resulting from the asset purchase of Dinamo Entertainment, Inc. and a reduction of goodwill of $7,495 related to the sale of subscribers to Satellite Broadcasting Corporation (see Note 2). The Company believes the goodwill recorded of $954,871 will be deductible for tax purposes.

The Company amortizes access contracts and customer cable lists, on an average, over their useful estimated lives ranging from two to five years. The Company is amortizing the right of entry contracts, on an average, over their estimated useful lives ranging from 36 to 120 months.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are charged to expense as incurred. Advertising costs were $202,701, $176,592, and $146,906, for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

Shipping and Handling Costs

In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue 00-10, "Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs," the Company is including shipping and handling revenues in revenues and shipping and handling costs in cost of products and services (discontinued operations).

Income Taxes

The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement and income tax reporting bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent that realization is not assured.

Stock-Based Compensation

In accordance with Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations, the Company uses the intrinsic value-based method for measuring stock-based compensation cost which measures compensation cost as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the Company's common stock at the grant date over the amount the employee must pay for the stock. The Company's general policy is to grant stock options at fair value at the date of grant. Options and warrants issued to employees are recorded at fair value, as required by SFAS No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," (SFAS No. 123), using the Black Scholes pricing model. The Company has adopted the disclosure only provision of SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." Pursuant to APB No. 25 and related interpretations $0, $212,714 and $447,481 of compensation cost has been recognized in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Had compensation cost been recognized based on the fair values of options at the grant dates consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, the Company's loss attributable to common stockholders and basic and diluted loss per common share would have increased to the following pro forma amounts for the years ended December 31:

In determining the compensation cost of the options granted during fiscal 2005, 2004, and 2003, as specified by SFAS No. 123, the fair value of each option grant has been estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the weighted average assumptions used in these calculations are summarized as follows:

Net Loss per Common Share

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the reporting period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing loss attributable to common stockholders by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus all additional common stock that would have been outstanding if potentially dilutive common shares related to common share equivalents (stock options, stock warrants, convertible preferred shares, and issued but not outstanding restricted stock) had been issued. All options, warrants, convertible preferred shares, and restricted stock outstanding during the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 were anti-dilutive.

Segment Reporting

A business segment is a distinguishable component of an enterprise that is engaged in providing an individual product or service or a group of related products or services and that is subject to risks and returns that are different from those of other business segments. Management believes that the Company has two operating segments, MCS, where the Company bills voice, data and video subscribers as a principal; and MDU where the Company as a master service operator for DirecTV receives net cash payments for managing video subscribers through its network of system operators. These video subscribers are billed by DirecTV.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2004, FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment", which focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. This statement replaces SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." Beginning with the quarterly period that begins January 1, 2006, the Company will be required to expense the fair value of employee stock options and similar awards. As a public company, the Company is allowed to select from two alternative transition methods, each having different reporting implications. The impact of SFAS No. 123R for the year ending December 31, 2006 is estimated to be approximately $675,000 based on the value of the options outstanding as of December 31, 2005 that will vest during the year ended December 31, 2006. This estimate does not include any expenses for options that may be granted and vested during 2006.

In June 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections”, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3 The statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle, and changes the requirements for accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior period financial statements of a voluntary change in accounting principle unless it is impracticable. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The statement does not change the transition provisions of any existing accounting pronouncements, including those that are in a transition phase as of the effective date of this statement. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 154 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Management's Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant management estimates relate to the allowances for doubtful accounts, inventory obsolescence, stock subscriptions and interest receivable, property and equipment estimated useful lives, goodwill and intangible assets carrying value and the valuation of deferred income tax assets.

Financial Instruments
 
The carrying amounts for all financial instruments approximates fair value. The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and short-term debt approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The fair value of capital lease obligations, note payable-stockholder and long-term debt approximates the carrying amounts based upon the Company's expected borrowing rate for debt with similar remaining maturities and comparable risk.

Reclassifications

Certain accounts in the prior years' consolidated financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform with the presentation in the current year consolidated financial statements. These reclassifications had no effect on net loss or stockholders' equity.


NOTE 2 - Business Acquisitions


During February 2003, the Company incorporated a new subsidiary, MB USA. This subsidiary was formed as a 50% owned joint venture agreement with PACE (Note 1).

On December 31, 2003, the Company purchased, through MCS, certain customer lists from Florida Cable, Inc. (Florida Cable) for $300,000 which was paid to Florida Cable on January 2, 2004. In addition, the Company agreed to lease from Florida Cable equipment used in the operation of the cable television systems for six months for $1.00. After the six month lease period has expired, the Company has agreed to purchase the equipment for $165,000. At December 31, 2004, the outstanding balance related to the purchase of the equipment valued at $165,000 was $25,029 and was paid in full during 2005.
 
On January 1, 2004, the Company, through MCS, entered into a stock purchase agreement with URON, Inc. (URON) to purchase all of the outstanding capital stock of URON for a total purchase price of 350,000 shares of the Company's common stock to be issued in installments as follows: a) 180,000 shares issued at closing, b) 170,000 shares held in escrow. The common shares were valued at fair market value on the date of agreement which was $1.31 per share for a purchase price of $458,500.
 
The terms of the escrow are as follows: 50,000 shares to be released upon URON providing the Company with documentation satisfactory to the Company of a release from a certain vendor or any related entity of all liabilities incurred to a certain vendor by URON; 120,000 shares to be released in 40,000 share increments upon the Company's receipt of distributable gross profits, generated by certain customers, in increments of $75,000 cash. The escrow shall be terminated 24 months after the date of the agreement and any shares not released will be rescinded to the Company. The Company must register all shares issued within one year from the date of issuance. The reason for the purchase of URON is to continue to expand the Company's services related to voice, data, and video services. The purchase price of $458,500 was allocated to customer list of $453,930 and property and equipment of $4,570. The customer list will be amortized over its estimated useful lives of two years and the property and equipment for fifteen months. At December 31, 2004, the Company was not obligated to issue any of the contingent shares of common stock. At December 31, 2005, the 170,000 contingent shares of common stock were rescinded. The value of the shares rescinded of $222,700 was recorded as an offset to amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2005.
 
In April 2004, the Company, through MCS, purchased certain assets consisting of data and video subscribers and systems from Satellite Broadcasting Corporation and affiliates (SBC). The total purchase price for said assets was approximately $679,200.
 
On April 2, 2004, Multiband Corporation and subsidiaries (the Company) completed its acquisition of Minnesota Digital Universe, Inc. (MDU segment) for approximately 7.7 million dollars, half of which was paid for in Multiband Corporation common stock, valued at $1.75 per share, ($3,850,000), $1.1 million paid in cash and the balance in promissory notes due by January 2005. Included in the purchase price is $700,000 related to a finder’s fee. In December 2004, the notes with an outstanding balance of $990,000 were extended through May 2005, with $200,000 of the outstanding note balance being extended to July 2006. These notes are unsecured and bear no interest. The stock value was a negotiated price between the Seller and the Buyer. The consideration paid was based on the Company's analysis of likely future net income to be generated over a six year period by the acquired company. The cash was provided by funds the Company had previously raised in a private placement. The assets were acquired from Pace Electronics. Prior to the transaction, there was no material relationship between the owners of MDU and the Company other than the fact that Pace Electronics previously owned a 50% interest in a company subsidiary, Multiband USA, Inc., which Multiband bought out the remaining 50% of ownership from Pace Electronics in January 2004 for 30,000 shares of the Company's common stock valued at $39,000.

With the MDU acquisition, the Company became a nationwide agent for DirecTV. MDU services nearly 75,000 video subscribers through a network of private cable operators located throughout the United States. The purchase also permits the Company to receive ongoing residual payments from DirecTV, during the term of the master system operator agreement with DirecTV, which initially had approximately 25 months remaining at the time of purchase.
 
On July 9, 2004, Multiband (the Company) completed its acquisition, which had an acquisition date of June 1, 2004, of the outstanding membership interests of Rainbow Satellite Group, LLC (Rainbow) (MCS segment), a provider of Satellite television services to multi dwelling units, for approximately 7.5 million dollars, two million of which was paid for in Multiband Preferred Stock, valued at $2.00 per share on a conversion formula to Multiband common stock, one million dollars of which was paid for in cash and the balance in promissory notes due by January 2005. In December 2004 these notes were extended to May 1, 2005 and paid off in full as of that date. Included in the purchase price is $321,850 related to a finders’ fee. These notes are collateralized by Rainbow assets and bear interest at the prime rate (7.25% and 5.25% at December 31, 2005 and 2004.) In connection with the debt extension, the Company issued 75,000 two year warrants with an exercise price of $1.35 valued at $68,652 using the Black Scholes pricing model. The stock value was a negotiated price between the Buyer and Seller. In the event Multiband defaults in the payment of said promissory notes, the former owners of Rainbow have certain rights to repurchase the aforementioned membership interests for 20% less than any sums Multiband has paid prior to the date of the default.
 
The consideration paid was based on the Company's analysis of likely future net incomes to be generated over a six year period by the acquired Company. The cash was provided by funds Multiband had previously raised in a private placement. The aforementioned purchase price is subject to adjustment pursuant to the parties agreement if the number of Rainbow subscribers increases or decreases as of an adjustment date. The assets were acquired from the members/owners of Rainbow. Prior to the transaction, there was no material relationship between the owners of sellers and the Company. With this acquisition, the Company acquired over 16,000 video subscribers which are primarily located in California, Colorado, Texas, Florida, Illinois and New York.
 
On August 9, 2004, Multiband Corporation (the Company) completed its acquisition of certain assets of 21st Century Satellite Communications, Inc. (21st Century) (MCS segment) for $1,080,754, $333,333 of which was paid for in Company stock, valued at $1.60 per share, $250,000 of which was paid for in cash and the balance in equipment lease payments due by August 2007. The stock value was a negotiated price between the Buyer and Seller. Included in the purchase price is $86,750 related to a finder’s fee. The consideration paid was based on the Company's analysis of the value of the acquired video equipment and related video subscribers totaling approximately 5,000. The cash was provided by funds Multiband had previously raised in a private placement. In connection with the acquisition, the Company incurred a $125,000 finder's fee which was paid for in Company stock, valued at $1.42 for a total of $31,250, and the remaining $93,750 was paid by December 31, 2004.
 
On August 26, 2005, the Company completed its acquisition of certain assets of Dinamo Entertainment, Inc.(Dinamo) (MCS segment) for $2,074,225, $652,500 of which was paid for in Company stock, valued at $1.50 per share (as negotiated between buyer and seller), $475,000 of which was paid for in cash, and the remaining balance of $600,000 as a note payable to the former owner payable in monthly payments of $14,091 including interest at 6% with a balloon payment of $317,933 due in November 2007. The note is collateralized by the assets acquired as part of the purchase. Included in the purchase price were assumed liabilities of $170,200. A portion of these liabilities were paid with $75,000 in cash at closing and 40,000 shares of Company stock with a fair market value of $50,000, with the remaining balance of $45,200 related to the assumption of capital leases. The Company has agreed to repurchase the 40,000 shares one year from closing if the fair market value in the 5 consecutive trading days immediately subsequent to the one year period falls below $1.25. In connection with the acquisition, the Company incurred a $176,525 finder’s fee paid in cash at closing. The consideration paid was based on the Company’s analysis of the value of the acquired video equipment and related video subscribers totaling about 3,000. The acquisition of Dinamo strengthens our presence in the California market.

In 2000, the Company entered into a $2,250,000 debenture agreement with Convergent Capital Partners I, L.P., with interest at 14% (effective interest rate of 18.4%) payable monthly and monthly payments of $102,273 from August 1, 2003 through June 1, 2005. The timing of repayment was changed to August 2005 through May 2007 as part of the amendment made in 2002. The debenture is collateralized by substantially all Company assets. In connection with this debenture, the Company issued 150,000 five-year warrants to purchase common stock at prices ranging from $1.50 to $5.20 per share. The proceeds of $2,250,000 were allocated between the debenture and the warrant based on the relative fair values of the securities at the time of issuance. The warrants were valued using the Black Scholes pricing model. The resulting original issue discount, the fair value of the warrants, is being amortized over the life of the debenture using the straight-line method, which approximates the interest method.

In 2002, the Company amended the debenture agreement with Convergent Capital Partners I, L.P., and borrowed an additional $150,000 with interest at 14% (effective interest rate of 18.4%) payable monthly and monthly principal payments from August 2005 through May 2007. In connection with this debenture, the Company issued an additional 500,000 seven-year warrants to purchase common stock at $1.10 per share. The additional warrants were valued using the Black Scholes pricing model. The resulting original issue discount, the fair value of the warrants, is being amortized over the life of the debenture using the straight-line method, which approximates the interest method. The Company was in violation of certain covenants of this debt agreement at December 31, 2004 and a waiver was obtained from the lender.

The outstanding note balance at December 31, 2004 was $2,130,286, net of original issue discount of $269,714. The Company paid $2,000,000 on the note in March 2005. In connection with the payment, the Company expensed the remaining original issue discount of $269,714 for the year ended December 31, 2005. Amortization expense on the original issue discount was $162,790 for the year ended December 31, 2004.

In June 2005, the Company borrowed $2,000,000 from Convergent Capital Partners I, L.P. in connection with an amendment of original debt agreement. The amendment extended the due date to May 2009 and the Company is required to comply with certain financial covenants. The Company is required to pay monthly interest only payments through the due date. The outstanding balance of the debenture was $2,500,000 at December 31, 2005. The interest rate varies from 11% to 14% dependent on the Company’s stock prices (14% at December 31, 2005). The debenture agreement is collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company. The Company was in violation of certain covenants at December 31, 2005 and obtained a waiver from the lender.

In January 2001, the Company borrowed $1,500,000 from Pyramid Trading Limited Partnership and issued a five-year warrant to the lender to purchase 375,000 common shares at $4.00 per share through January 2003. The debt was also convertible into common stock of the Company at a conversion rate of $4.75 per share through January 2003. The proceeds of $1,500,000 were allocated between the note and the fair value of the warrants using the Black Scholes pricing model. An additional 375,000 five-year warrants were issued in April 2002 and the fair value of the warrants was expensed as additional interest expense as of December 31, 2002. The resulting original issue discount, the fair value of the warrants, and the beneficial conversion of the note payable into common stock as defined in EITF 00-27 "Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments"(EITF 00-27), is being amortized over the life of the note using the straight-line method, which approximates the interest method. This note was converted into stock during 2004.

In February 2003, the Company reached an agreement to convert $962,000 of its note payable with Pyramid Trading Limited Partnership to equity and to extend the due date to May 2004. Terms of the conversion state that the note will be converted to equity over a 14 month period at a price generally equivalent to a 10% discount to market price. The Company issued an additional 253,000 five-year warrants at an exercise price of $1.00 with the note payable extension. These warrants, valued at $208,447 using the Black Scholes pricing model, are being expensed over the remaining term of the note agreement. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company converted principal and accrued interest totaling $828,172 into 717,741 shares of common stock. During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company converted principal and accrued interest totaling $212,111 into 153,034 shares of common stock.

The debt is also convertible into common stock of the Company at a conversion rate of $1.40 per share through November 2006. The proceeds of $1,500,000 were allocated between the note, the intrinsic value of the conversion option, and the fair value of the warrants using the Black Scholes pricing model. The resulting original issue discount, the fair value of the warrant, and the beneficial conversion of the note payable into common stock as defined in EITF 00-27 is being amortized over the life of the note using the straight-line method, which approximates the interest method. During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company converted principal of $230,909 into 164,836 shares of common stock. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company converted principal of $98,000 into 70,000 shares of common stock.

In November 2004, the Company borrowed $2,166,667 from a group of accredited institutional investors. The notes are convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion rate of $1.00 per share through November 2007. The notes accrue interest at the rate of 6% per annum, which interest is payable semi-annually in cash or common stock at the Company's election. The proceeds of $2,166,667 were allocated between the notes and the intrinsic value of the conversion option. The resulting original issue discount and the beneficial conversion of the note payable into common stock as defined in EITF 00-27 is being amortized over the life of the note using the straight-line method, which approximates the interest method. These notes are collateralized by certain assets and are subordinated. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company converted principal of $1,443,996 and accrued interest of $80,627 into 1,524,623 shares of common stock.

Dividends on Class B preferred are cumulative and payable monthly at 10% per annum. The Class B preferred was offered to certain note payable holders at a conversion of $10 per Class B preferred share. The dividends are based on $10.00 per share for Class A, B, C, D, E, F and G cumulative preferred stock. Dividends for Class H cumulative preferred stock are based on 6% of the stated liquidation preference amount per share per annum. Dividends for Class I cumulative preferred stock are based on $100 per share. All preferred stock is non-voting. Warrants to purchase shares of the Company's common stock were given with the issuance of Class A, Class B, Class D, Class E, Class G and Class H preferred stock and were valued at fair value using the Black Scholes pricing model. The Company may, but is not obligated to, redeem the preferred stock at $10.50 per share for Class A and Class B and $10.00 per share for Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, and Class G whenever the Company's common stock price exceeds certain defined criteria as defined in the preferred stock agreements. The Class H shares can be redeemed for $100,000 per share. The Class I shares can be redeemed for $100 per share. Upon the Company's call for redemption, the holders of the preferred stock called for redemption have the option to convert each preferred share into shares of the Company's common stock. Holders of preferred stock cannot require the Company to redeem their shares with the exception of the 50,000 shares of Class F converted into mandatory redeemable preferred stock (see below). The liquidation preference is the same as the redemption price for each class of preferred stock.

NOTE 14 - Commitments and Contingencies


Operating leases

Office space was leased from an LLC which an officer of the Company was partial owner of through August 2003. In addition to basic monthly rents ranging from $16,640 to $17,653, the Company paid building maintenance costs, real estate taxes and assessments. During 2003, the Company converted $72,000 of accrued rent into 7,200 shares of Class C preferred stock. At December 31, 2004, accrued rent of $19,500 was owed to this related party. The balance was paid during 2005. In August 2003, the Company signed a new lease agreement with an unrelated party.

The Company has various other operating leases for its corporate office space, vehicles and various equipment with lease terms expiring at various dates through August 2017. The monthly base rents range from $52,000 to $59,000, net of payments received from subleases. The leases contain provisions for payments of real estate taxes, insurance and common area costs. In July 2003, the Company entered into an agreement to sublease a portion of their office space through August 2008 for approximately $5,000 per month. In March 2006, the sublessee executed the early out option in the lease (See Note 18). Total amount to be paid of approximately $57,000 includes rent through August 2006 and a penalty as stated in the lease for the early out option.

Total rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 including common area costs and real estate taxes was approximately $622,000, $634,000 and $578,000, respectively. Rent expense with related parties for December 31, 2003 was approximately $59,000. No related party rent was paid for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. Rent expense is net of any rent allocation attributable to the space occupied by Corporate Technologies, LLC. (Note 17).

Significant Relationship

The Company is master agent for DirecTV pursuant to a system operator agreement with DirecTV dated August 2005. The initial term of the agreement is for three years and provides for two additional two-year renewals if the Company has a minimum number of paying video subscribers in its system operator network. Termination of the Company’s DirecTV agreement would have a material adverse impact on the Company’s on-going operations. Revenues generated from DirecTV amounted to 51.90% and 52.77% of total revenue in 2005 and 2004, respectively. Accounts receivable from this customer was 54.36% and 41.65% of total accounts receivable as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Legal proceedings

The Company is involved in legal actions in the ordinary course of its business. Although the outcome of any such legal actions cannot be predicted, management believes that there is no pending legal proceedings against or involving the Company for which the outcome is likely to have a material adverse effect upon the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Letter of credit

The Company has a letter of credit for $36,400 which expires in December 2006.


NOTE 15 - Related Party


The Company had revenues from companies that are associated with a director, who was elected to the board of directors during 2003, of approximately $0, $0, $1,124,000 for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively. In addition, the Company had accounts receivable outstanding from these companies of approximately $0, $140,000, and $142,000 at December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively. The aforementioned director resigned from the Company’s board in October 2005 and thus is no longer a related party as of December 31, 2005.

NOTE 17- Sale of Business Segment


Sale of Multiband Business Services segment   

After the close of business on March 31, 2005, the Company completed the sale of certain assets and liabilities relating to its Multiband Business Services (MBS, a/k/a Corporate Technologies USA) division. The buyer was North Central Equity LLC (“Buyer”).

MULTIBAND CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003
 
The original purchase price paid by the Buyer was $2,550,000 which consisted of $1,682,184 in cash at closing, $349,817 in assumed vacation pay and warranty liabilities, and the balance of $517,999 in the original note receivable at 7% interest due on December 31, 2005. The amount of the note receivable is subject to adjustment based on certain representations and warranties and estimated presale customer service obligations the Buyer assumed liability for in the purchase agreement. Due to the aforementioned representations and warranties and estimated liabilities, the Company, at the notes inception established a reserve of $178,948 against the collectibility of the note receivable. In November 2005, the note was paid by the buyer in the amount of $400,000 which included the net adjustment for the actual amount of presale customer service obligations. The Company’s gain on sale was increased $149,865 accordingly as of September 30, 2005 to reflect this prepayment and the resolution of estimated assumed liabilities.

In connection with the purchase agreement, the Company entered into an interim services agreement whereby the Buyer is able to sublease space at no charge at the Company’s Minneapolis and Fargo locations and obtain access to certain aspects of the Company’s information technology resources for one year. Services provided will be charged by either party at fair value and is estimated by management to be insignificant. In addition the services agreement is explicit that the Company has no control over the buyer’s operations. The buyer also receives additional free rent for a second year due to the results of a post closing inventory appraisal. In conjunction with the sale, the Company reduced its indebtedness to Convergent Capital by $2,000,000 since part of the collateral of this note payable relates to the assets sold. This $2,000,000 was borrowed back from Convergent in the 2nd quarter of fiscal 2005. The gain on sale of MBS business services segment is as follows:

NOTE 18 - Subsequent Event


On March 1, 2006, Corporate Technologies, LLC. (CTLLC), a subsidiary of North Central Equity, LLC, the purchaser of the MBS business segment, signed a lease with Lexstar Tower I Limited Partnership whereby CTLLC assumed the lease obligation for substantially all of the first floor space the Company is renting in Fargo, North Dakota (see Note 14 Commitments and Contingencies) for the period beginning March 1, 2006 to February 28, 2011. Pursuant to the aforementioned lease the Company entered into a guaranty with CTLLC whereby the Company, in the event of a default or early termination of the lease by CTLLC, is obligated to perform CTLLC’s lease obligations during months 1-12 and 43-60 of the lease. This guaranty has no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005. The Company is in the process of determining the value, if any, that should be assigned to the guaranty for 2006.

Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

None

Item 9A.

Controls and Procedures.

The Company, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including the Chief Executive Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely making known to him material information relating to the Company and the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act. There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2005 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Management is aware that there is a lack of segregation of duties due to the small number of employees dealing with general administrative and financial matters. However, management has determined the risks associated with the lack of segregation of duties are insignificant based on the close involvement of management in day-to-day operations (i.e. tone at the top, corporate governance, officer oversight and involvement with daily activities, and other company level controls).  The potential benefits of adding employees to clearly segregate duties do not justify the expenses associated with such increases.
