PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
This summary highlights selected information and does not contain all the
information that is important to you. You should carefully read this prospectus
and the documents we have referred you to in "Where You Can Find More
Information" for more information about Multiband and our financial statements.
In this prospectus, references to "Multiband," "we," "us" "our" and "Company"
refer to Multiband Corporation and its subsidiaries.
OUR COMPANY
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 April 1, 2005. All referenced to financial
information and descriptions of business in this registration have been revised
to reflect only our continuing operations and all references to our now
discontinued Multiband Business Services have been eliminated. The MCS segment
began in February 2000. MCS, the Company's continuing operating division,
provides voice, data and video services to multiple dwelling units (MDU),
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.

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 $9,783,962 for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2004, $4,365,004 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, and
$4,438,059 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002. 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.
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 $527,879 related to Multiband Business Services. In the fourth quarter
of 2004, the Company wrote off $2,221,000 worth of goodwill related to
discontinued operations. As of December 31, 2004, the Company had remaining
recorded goodwill of $812,366 related to the purchase of Rainbow Satellite
Group, LLC.
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.
Page 8
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 which expires in May 2006. 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.
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.
Page 9
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 and cable 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."
USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of shares of common
stock by the selling shareholders under this prospectus. However, we will
receive proceeds of $11,785,715 from the exercise of the warrants estimated at
$11,765,715 after payment of the offering expenses. We have agreed to pay all of
the expenses related to this offer, estimated to be approximately $20,000.
We expect to use the net proceeds from the exercise of the warrants
primarily for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including
expenditures for sales and marketing and fixed assets and inventory. No specific
amount has been allocated to any particular purpose. Pending these uses, we
intend to invest the net proceeds of this offering in investment grade,
interest-bearing securities.
DIVIDEND POLICY
We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock, nor do we have
plans to do so in the foreseeable future. The declaration and payment of any
cash dividends on our common stock in the future will be determined by our Board
of Directors, in its discretion, and will depend on a number of factors,
including our earnings, capital requirements and overall financial condition.
The holders of our Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock are
entitled to receive a cumulative dividend of 8% per year, payable quarterly, and
the holders of our Series B Convertible and Series C Convertible Preferred Stock
are entitled to receive cumulative dividends of 10% per year, payable monthly,
the holders of our Series E Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to receive
a cumulative dividend of 15% per year, payable in kind quarterly. The holders of
our Series F Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to receive a cumulative
dividend of 10% per year, payable in kind quarterly, and the holders of our
Series G Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to receive a cumulative
dividend of 6% per year, payable in kind quarterly. The holders of our Series H
Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to receive a cumulative dividend of 6%
per year, payable semi-annually. The holders of our Series I Convertible
Preferred Stock receive a monthly dividend at a range between prime rate and

Revenues
Company revenues increased 43.7% to $4,183,606 for the quarter ended June
30, 2005 as compared to $2,911,261 for the quarter ended June 30, 2004. This
increase is primarily due to the acquisition of video subscribers throughout
2004.
Revenues in the second quarter of fiscal 2005 for the MCS segment
increased 100.9 % to $2,081,147 as compared to $1,035,597 in the second quarter
of fiscal 2004. This increase is primarily due to the acquisition of video
subscribers throughout 2004.
Revenues in the second quarter of 2005 for the MDU segment increased 12.3%
to $2,102,459 as compared to $1,875,664 in the second quarter of fiscal 2004.
This increase is primarily due to an increase in managed subscribers during the
period combined with price increases enacted by DirecTV in 2005 which led to
increased residual revenues (payments received as a result of recurring monthly
revenues) for MDU during the quarter versus the prior year's quarter. These
increased residual revenues for the second quarter of 2005 were material enough
to offset lower revenues for one-time activation fees during the second quarter
of 2005 which declined versus the prior period in 2004 due to DirecTV's
reduction in the payment amount per activation.
Revenues for the six month period ended June 30, 2005 increased 114.8% to
$7,890,482 from $3,673,916 for the same period in 2004. Again, this revenue
increase is primarily due to the acquisition of video subscribers throughout
2004 and DirecTV price increases.
Page 13
Cost of Products and Services (Exclusive of depreciation and amortization)
The Company's cost of products and services, exclusive of depreciation and
amortization, decreased slightly to $1,703,517 for the quarter ended June 30,
2005 as compared to $1,712,280 for the similar quarter last year.
Costs of products and services for the MCS segment for the quarter were
$1,209,389 compared to $539,436 in the same quarter last year, a 124.1%
increase. This increase in costs of services is directly related to a material
increase in revenues.
Costs of products and services for the MDU segment for the quarter were
$494,128 compared to $1,172,844 in the same quarter last year, a 57.7% decrease.
This reduction in costs reflects reduced payments to system operators for
activation fees and decrease of $554,299 in the estimated liability for vendor
chargebacks.
For the six month period ended June 30, 2005, costs of products and
services, exclusive of depreciation and amortization were $3,583,025 compared to
$2,123,242 in the prior year. This overall increase in costs of products and
services over the prior year resulted primarily from an increase in overall
revenues.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 109.0% to
$2,377,575 in the quarter ended June 30, 2005, compared to $1,137,780 in the
prior year quarter. This increase is primarily a result of increased expenses
related to the acquisition of video subscribers throughout 2004. Selling,
general and administrative expenses were, as a percentage of revenues, 56.8% for
the quarter ended June 30, 2005 and 39.1% for the similar period a year ago.
For the six month period ended June 30, 2005, these expenses increased
130.1% to $4,524,487 as compared to $1,965,933 for the six months ended June 30,
2004. As a percentage of revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses
are 57.3% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2005 as compared to 53.5% for
the same period in 2004.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $373,013 for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, versus
$188,986 for the similar period a year ago, reflecting an increase in the
Company's debt and original issue discount expense. Amortization of original
issue discount was $164,882 and $159,199 for the three months ended June 30,
2005 and 2004.
Interest expense was $1,058,714 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and
$418,320 for the same period last year. Amortization of original issue discount
was $664,980 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and $348,178 for the same
period last year.
Income(loss) from Operations
The Company, in the second quarter of 2005, incurred a loss from
operations for its combined operating business segments of $1,419,246 versus a
loss of $1,271,611 during the prior year's period. Loss from operations from
said segments was $3,561,186 during the first six months of 2005 versus
$2,314,788 during the same period in 2004. The MDU segment showed a profit from
operations of $1,029,527 during the second quarter of 2005 and $1,339,296 for
the six months ended June 30, 2005 versus profits of $124,351 for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2004. For the second quarter of 2005, the MCS segment
showed a loss from operations of $1,390,278 versus a loss of $536,776 for the
prior year period. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, the MCS segment
showed a loss from operations of $2,620,190 versus a loss of $894,991 for the
prior year period. The Multiband Corporation segment, which has no revenues,
showed a loss from operations of $1,058,495 for the three months ended June 30,
2005 and $2,280,292 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 versus losses of
$859,186 and $1,544,148 for the same period last year.
Net Loss
In the second quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company incurred a net loss of
$1,296,354 compared to a net loss of $1,451,474 for the second fiscal quarter of
2004. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company recorded a net loss of
$3,879,562 as compared to $2,968,339 for the six months ended June 30, 2004.

Loss from discontinued operations (40.27%) (48.08%)
Net Loss (88.40%) (302.89%)
Revenues:
Total revenues from continuing operations increased 668.0% from $1,441,118
in 2003 to $11,067,834 in 2004. 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. 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.
Page 15
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
These expenses from continuing operations increased 125.08% to $5,960,050
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, 53.85 % 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).

REVENUES
Total revenues increased 149.7% to $1,441,118 in 2003 from $577,221 in
2002. This increase is due to the expansion of MCS services to nineteen
apartment properties and eighteen timeshare properties.
COSTS OF PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
The cost of products and services was $884,536 in 2003 compared to
$418,093 in 2002. The increase is due to the expansion of MCS services to
nineteen apartment properties and eighteen timeshare properties.
Page 16
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 34.3% to
$2,647,870, compared to $1,971,584 in 2002. This increase in expenses is
primarily related to increased payroll and facility expense and costs incurred
for re-branding Vicom operating divisions as Multiband. Increased payroll
primarily resulted from acquisition related payroll expense and increase in
officer compensation in 2003. Selling, general and administrative expenses were,
as a percentage of revenues, 183.7% for 2003 and 341.5% for 2002.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense was $488,156 for 2003, versus $1,256,965 for 2002
reflecting a substantial decrease in Original Issue Discount expense associated
with long term debt and a significant decrease in cash interest expense
associated with notes payable.
NET LOSS
In 2003, the Company incurred a net loss of $4,365,004 compared to a net
loss of $4,438,059 for 2002.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Six Months Ended June 30, 2005
During the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company recorded a
net loss of $3,879,562 and $2,968,339, respectively. We had negative cash flows
from operating activities of $2,842,499 and $1,517,424 during the period ended
June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Reduction of accounts payables and accrued
liabilities and retirement of a wholesale line of credit totaled $2,613,829 for
the period ended June 30, 2005. Management believes that over the next 12 months
there will be no significant reduction in accounts payable or the wholesale line
of credit which had a zero balance at June 30, 2005.
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $5,407,000 at June 30, 2005 versus
$726,553 at December 31, 2004. Available working capital, for the six months
ended June 30, 2005 increased significantly compared to December 31, 2004
primarily due to the 10 million dollar sale of Class I preferred stock. Short
term debts were reduced in the six months ended June 30, 2005 as the Company
continued to retire financing debt and debt related to acquisitions. Long term
debt increased two million dollars as the Company re-borrowed two million
dollars from Convergent Capital under an existing debt facility. The Company had
a material decrease in both accounts receivables and accounts payable for the
period ended June 30, 2005 reflecting the sale and wind down of the Multiband
business services segment. Net cash flows from investing activities totaled
$770,844 for the period ended June 30, 2005.
The Company continues to experience significant growth, primarily due to
increased subscriber related recurring revenues acquired via various
transactions previously mentioned herein.
Management of Multiband believes that, for the near future, cash on hand,
as of June 30, 2005, is adequate to meet the anticipated liquidity and capital
resource requirements of its business for the next 12 months. Capital
Expenditures
The Company used $415,065 for capital expenditures during the six months
ended June 30, 2005, as compared to $240,413 in the similar period last year.
Capital expenditures consisted of equipment acquired for internal use. We
estimate capitalized expenditures for the remainder of 2005 will be
approximately $300,000.
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 $ 1,125,668 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 to long-term debt increased $500,000 and short-term
debt increased $4.5 million 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.
Page 19
Total long term debt and capital lease obligations increased by $1,717,015
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.
In February 2005, the Company sold ten million dollars worth of Class I
convertible preferred stock. With this investment and the Company's anticipated
financial results for 2005 based on 2004 trends, Multiband management believes
that it can meet the anticipated liquidity and capital resource requirements of
its business in 2005.
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003
Available working capital for 2003 increased $1,3771,662 primarily to a
stronger cash position due to investing activities. Multiband successfully
completed an offering of institutional financing in the second half of 2003
raising net proceeds of $2,223,150. Multiband had a decrease of $289,890 in
accounts receivable as a result of a reduction in sales. Current liabilities
increased in 2003 by $1,373,968 as a result of higher current portion of long
term debt and accrued liabilities. Inventories increased by $509,762 primarily
due to a planned expansion to provide wireless intranet service.
Page 20
Total long term debt and capital lease obligation decreased by $1,010,459
during the year ended December 31, 2003. Multiband paid out $75,301 related to
capital lease obligations and $200,768 related to long term debt during the year
ended December 31, 2003 versus $1,069,433 paid out in 2002.
The Company used $526,936 for capital expenditures during 2003, as
compared to $1,275,434 in 2002. The decrease was primarily attributed to a
reduction in self-financed MCS construction. In 2004 capital expenditures are
expected to be limited to the Company's internal information technology
infrastructure and are expected to be less than 2003 expenditures.
In 2003, the Company reached an agreement to convert the remaining
$962,000 of a Note Payable to equity. Terms of the conversion state the note
will be converted to equity over a 14 month period at a price generally
equivalent to a 10% discount to market price.
In November of 2003, the Company borrowed $1,500,000 and issued a
three-year warrant to the lender to purchase 535,000 common shares at $2.21 per
share through November 2006. The debt is also convertible into common stock of
the Company at a conversion rate of $1.40 per share through November 2006.
On June 30, 2003, the Company borrowed $124,000 as an unsecured note from
a stockholder of the Company, with monthly payments of $5,600 at an interest
rate of 7.85%.
Net cash used by operations in 2003 was $2,580,248 as compared to cash
used by operations in 2002 of $869,721. The cash used by operations in 2003 is
due primarily to net operating losses and a reduction in the wholesale line of
credit. During the years ended December 31, 2003, and December 31, 2002, the
Company incurred significant net losses. Although the majority of these losses
were due to non-cash expenses, The Company still continued to incur cash losses
as well due to general corporate expense. The on-going addition of MCS
properties in the Company's portfolio provided additional cash flows in 2003 and
those cash flows are projected to improve in 2004 with additional expansions.
Management of Multiband believes that, for the near future, cash generated from
new investments combined with existing credit facilities are adequate to meet
the anticipated liquidity in capital resource requirements of its business,
contingent upon Company operating results for the next twelve months.
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002
Available working capital, for 2002, decreased $679,419 due to Multiband's
net operating loss and net cash used in operating activities of $869,721.
Proceeds from issuance of long term debt, stock and warrants totaling $2,121,597
helped offset Multiband's net operating loss. Multiband had a decrease of
$38,344 in accounts payable and other current liabilities for 2002 versus last
year's period, primarily due to significant reductions in accounts receivables
which were used to reduce payables.
Inventories year to date decreased net of reserves $182,783 over last
year's prior period inventories due to a decrease in revenues. The
aforementioned decrease in revenues also led to a decrease in accounts
receivable net of reserves of $576,509.
Total long term debt and capital lease obligation decreased by $102,631
during the year ended December 31, 2002. The Company paid out $937,828 related
to capital lease obligations and $131,605 related to long term debt during the
year ended December 31, 2002 versus $777,578 paid out in 2001.
In 2001, the Company entered into a long-term debt agreement, expiring in
2003, with an investment fund. The fund, in exchange for its $1.5 million
investment, also received 375,000 warrants and the right to convert its
investment into Multiband common stock at a predetermined price. The effect of
recording the beneficial conversion feature and warrants associated with the
convertible loan resulted in a $1,500,000 discount attributable to the warrants
in accordance with the Black-Scholes pricing model. The Company is expensing the
aforementioned warrant discount in eight quarterly installments over the two
year term of the loan. $460,000 of the debt was converted to stock in 2002
pursuant to a formula tied to the trading price of the Company's Common Stock.
In 2002, the Company borrowed $600,000 from a Director. This investment
was later converted into Class E Preferred Stock. Also in 2002, the Company
restructured its debenture with Convergent Capital, resetting the date of
principal repayment to begin in August 2005.
The Company used $1,275,434 for capital expenditures during 2002, as
compared to $1,884,945 in 2001. The decrease was primarily attributed to a
reduction in self-financed MCS construction.
Page 21
In 2002, the Company extinguished $937,828 worth of capital lease
obligations, reduced its principal indebtedness $460,000 to a note holder, and
converted another $600,000 worth of debt to Preferred Stock. All these events,
combined, with the aforementioned refinancing and delayed principal repayment to
its largest debt holder, should materially improve projected cash flows
throughout 2003 provided Company operating losses continue to diminish.
Net cash used by operations was approximately $869,721 in 2002 versus net
cash used by operations of $502,110 in 2001. The cash used by operations in 2002
is due primarily to net operating losses, and reductions in accounts payable and
wholesale line of credit balances in that year. During the years ended December
31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, the Company incurred significant net losses.
Although the majority of these losses were due to non-cash expenses, the Company
still continued to incur cash losses as well due to general corporate expense
and continuing expenses related to the building out of its MCS network. The
Company in 2002 significantly cut its selling, general and administrative
expenses which led to a material decrease in cash losses. The on-going addition
of MCS properties in the Company's portfolio also generated additional cash
flows in 2002 and these MCS cash flows are projected to improve meaningfully in
2003. Management of Multiband believes that, for the near future, cash generated
from new investments combined with existing credit facilities are adequate to
meet the anticipated liquidity in capital resource requirements of its business,
contingent upon Company operating results for the next twelve months.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company's long-lived assets include property, equipment and leasehold
improvement. At June 30, 2005, the Company had net property and equipment of
$4,075,534, which represents approximately 14% 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. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, the
Company did not record any impairment losses related to long-lived assets.
Impairment of Goodwill
We periodically evaluate acquired businesses for potential impairment
indicators. Our judgements 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 is
impaired. Any resulting impairment loss could have a material adverse impact on
our financial condition and results of operations. During the three and six
months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company did not record any impairment
losses related to goodwill.
Amortization of Intangible Assets
The Company amortizes a domain name over its estimated useful life of five years
using the straight-line method. 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 73 months.

DESCRIPTION OF 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 April 1, 2005. All referenced 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. The MCS segment
began in February 2000. MCS, the Company's continuing operating division,
provides voice, data and video services to multiple dwelling units (MDU),
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.
MULTIBAND CONSUMER SERVICES
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 problems. The first problem 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 problems 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.
Page 23
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. 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 underprice 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 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), WorldCom Inc. dba MCI (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. and CompuServe Corp. They compete with local exchange carriers,
long distance carriers, Internet backbone companies and many local ISPs
(Internet Service Providers). Competition has driven this to a flat rate
unlimited access dial-up service market. The general concern among consumers is
the quality of the connection and the speed of the download. Our design provides
the highest 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.
Page 24
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.
Minnesota Digital Universe, Inc. (MDU, Inc.)
The Company, through its MDU, Inc. subsidiary, 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 13 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, Inc. subsidiary allows the Company to offer satellite
television services to residents of Multi-dwelling-units through a network of
affiliated operators.
Number of Units/Customers
At August 15, 2005, MCS had 36,268 subscriptions for its services, (1,424
voice subscriptions, 30,792 video subscriptions and 4,052 internet
subscriptions). At August 15, 2005, MDU had approximately 72,000 video
subscriptions managed through its network of system operations.
Employees
As of August 18, 2005, Multiband employed three full-time management
employees, four accounting personnel, and six information technology employees.
As of that same date, MCS had 36 full-time employees, consisting of eight in
sales and marketing, seven in technical positions, nineteen in customer service
and related support, and two in management.
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 $23,565 to $30,377 per month. The New Hope office lease expires in
2013 and covers approximately 47,000 square feet. The New Hope base rent ranges
from $18,389 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.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is involved in legal actions in the ordinary course of
business. Multiband is 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.
The Company, in June 2005, settled its legal action with Private
Investor's Equity Group (PIEG). The terms of the settlement require Multiband to
pay PIEG $150,000 over eleven month period and issue PIEG 33,334 shares of
restricted Multiband common stock. The shares were valued at $36,000 using the
market value on the settlement date. As of June 30, 2005, with the exclusion of
the aforementioned PIEG matter, 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.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND ITS COMMITTEES
The Board has determined that a majority of its members are "independent" as
defined by the listing standards of the NASDAQ Stock Market. The independent
Directors are Messrs. Frank Bennett, Eugene Harris and Donald Miller.
The Board of Directors met four times on a regular basis in 2004. As permitted
by Minnesota Law, the Board of Directors also acted from time to time during
2004 by unanimous written consent in lieu of conducting formal meetings. Last
year, there were four such actions and accompanying Board Resolutions passed.
The Board has designated an audit committee consisting of Jonathan Dodge, Donald
Miller and Frank Bennett. The Board also designated a compensation committee
consisting of Frank Bennett and David Weiss.
Shareholder communication with the Board
Our Board welcomes your questions and comments. If you would like to communicate
directly to our Board, or if you have a concern related to the Company's
business ethics or conduct, financial statements, accounting practices or
internal controls, then you may contact our website via www.multibandusa.com,
section Investor Relations. All communications will be forwarded to our audit
committee.
Directors' attendance at Annual Meetings can provide shareholders with an
opportunity to communicate with directors about issues affecting the Company.
The Company does not have a policy regarding director attendance, but all
directors are encouraged to attend the Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Six of
our directors attended our Annual Meeting in 2003.
AUDIT COMMITTEE
Our audit committee:
o recommends to our Board of Directors the independent auditors to conduct
the annual audit of our books and records;
o reviews the proposed scope and results of the audit;
o approves the audit fees to be paid;
o reviews accounting and financial controls with the independent public
accountants and our financial and accounting staff; and
o reviews and approves transactions between us and our Directors, officers
and affiliates.
Our audit committee has a formal charter that is an exhibit to our most recent
annual report on Form 10K.
Our audit committee met four times during 2004. The Audit Committee is comprised
entirely of individuals who meet the independence and financial literacy
requirements of NASDAQ listing standards. Our Board has determined that all
three members qualify as an "audit committee financial expert" independent from
management as defined by Item 401(h)(2) of Regulation S-K under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended. Multiband acknowledges that the designation of the
members of the audit committee as financial experts does not impose on them any
duties, obligations or liability that are greater than the duties, obligations
and liability imposed on them as a member of the audit committee and the Board
of Directors in the absence of such designation.
REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE
In accordance with its written charter adopted by the Board of Directors,
the Audit Committee assists the Board in fulfilling its responsibility for
oversight of the quality and integrity of the accounting, auditing, and
financial reporting practices of the Company. During the year ended December 31,
2004, the Committee met four times, and Donald Miller, as the Audit Committee
chair and representative of the Audit Committee, discussed the interim financial
information contained in quarterly earnings announcement with the Company's
Chief Financial Officer and the Company's independent auditors prior to public
release.
In discharging its oversight responsibility as to the audit process, the
Audit Committee obtained from the independent auditors a formal written
statement describing all relationships between the auditors and the Company that
might bear on the auditors' independence consistent with Independence Standards
Board Standard No. 1, "Independence Discussions with Audit Committees,"
discussed with the auditors any relationships that may affect their objectivity
and independence and satisfied itself as to the auditors' independence. The
Audit Committee also discussed with management and the independent auditors the
quality and adequacy of the Company's internal controls. The Audit Committee
reviewed with both the independent auditors their audit plans, audit scope, and
identification of audit risks.
Page 27
The Audit Committee discussed and reviewed with the Company's independent
auditors all communications required by generally accepted auditing standards,
including those described in Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended,
"Communication with Audit Committees" and, both with and without management
present, discussed and reviewed the results of the independent auditors'
examination of the Company's financial statements. The Audit Committee reviewed
the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the
fiscal year ended December 31,2004 with management and the independent auditors.
Management has the responsibility for the preparation of the Company's
consolidated financial statements and the Company's independent auditors have
the responsibility for the examination of those statements.
Based on the review referred to above and discussions with management and
the independent auditors, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of
Directors that the Company's audited consolidated financial statements be
included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December
31, 2004 for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Audit
Committee also recommended the reappointment, subject to shareholder approval,
of the independent auditors and the Board of Directors concurred in such
recommendation.
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE
Our compensation committee consisting of Frank Bennett, Donald Miller and Eugene
Harris:
o reviews and recommends the compensation arrangements for management,
including the compensation for our chief executive officer; and
o establishes and reviews general compensation policies with the objective
to attract and retain superior talent, to reward individual performance
and to achieve our financial goals.
Our compensation committee met four times during 2004. The compensation
committee is comprised entirely of Directors who meet the independence
requirements of the NASDAQ listing standards.
NOMINATING COMMITTEE
The Nominating Committee (the "Nominating Committee") was formed by our Board in
April 2004 and consists of Frank Bennett and David Weiss. The Nominating
Committee's duties include adopting criteria for recommending candidates for
election or re-election to our Board and its committees, considering issues and
making recommendations considering the size and composition of our Board. The
Nominating Committee will also consider nominees for Director suggested by
shareholders in written submissions to the Company's Secretary.
The Nominating Committee met in April 2004 to decide upon the nominees for
Director at the Annual Meeting.
DIRECTOR NOMINATION PROCEDURES
DIRECTOR MANAGER QUALIFICATIONS. The Company's Nominating Committee has
established policies for the desired attributes of our Board as a whole. The
Board will seek to ensure that a majority of its members are independent as
defined in the NASDAQ listing standards. Each member of our Board must possess
the individual qualities of integrity and accountability, informed judgment,
financial literacy, high performance standards and must be committed to
representing the long-term interests of the Company and the shareholders. In
addition, Directors must be committed to devoting the time and effort necessary
to be responsible and productive members of our Board. Our Board values
diversity, in its broadest sense, reflecting, but not limited to, profession,
geography, gender, ethnicity, skills and experience.
IDENTIFYING AND EVALUATING NOMINEES. The Nominating Committee regularly
assesses the appropriate number of Directors comprising our Board, and whether
any vacancies on our Board are expected due to retirement or otherwise. The
Nominating Committee may consider those factors it deems appropriate in
evaluating Director candidates including judgment, skill, diversity, strength of
character, experience with businesses and organizations comparable in size or
scope to the Company, experience and skill relative to other Board members, and
specialized knowledge or experience. Depending upon the current needs of our
Board, certain factors may be weighed more or less heavily by the Nominating
Committee. In considering candidates for our Board, the Nominating Committee
evaluates the entirety of each candidate's credentials and, other than the
eligibility requirements established by the Nominating Committee, does not have
any specific minimum qualifications that must be met by a nominee. The
Nominating Committee considers candidates for the Board from any reasonable
source, including current Board members, shareholders, professional search firms
or other persons. The Nominating Committee does not evaluate candidates
differently based on who has made the recommendation. The Nominating Committee
has the authority under its charter to hire and pay a fee to consultants or
search firms to assist in the process of identifying and evaluating candidates.

Nominating Committee is available on our website at www.multibandusa.com.

(1) The "potential realizable value" shown represents the potential gains
based on annual compound stock price appreciation of 5% and 10% from the
date of grant through the full option terms, net of exercise price, but
before taxes associated with exercise. The amounts represent certain
assumed rates of appreciation only, based on the Securities and Exchange
Commission rules. Actual gains, if any, on stock option exercises are
dependent on the future performance of the common stock, overall market
conditions and the option holders, continued employment through the
vesting period. The amounts reflected in this table may not necessarily be
achieved and do not reflect the Company's estimate of future stock price
growth.
Each option represents the right to purchase one share of common stock.
The options shown in this table are all non-qualified stock options. To the
extent not already exercisable, the options generally become exercisable in the
event of a merger in which Vicom is not the surviving corporation, a transfer of
all shares of stock of Vicom, a sale of substantially all the assets, or a
dissolution or liquidation, of Vicom.
AGGREGATED OPTION EXERCISES IN 2004 AND YEAR END OPTION VALUES

number of shares underlying the option.
OTHER COMPENSATION AND LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLANS
The Company has no long-term incentive plans and issued no long-term
incentive awards during 2004.
Page 30
The Company has an employment agreement with Mr. Steven Bell, President,
for the term beginning January 2005 and expiring September 2008. Mr. Bell's
compensation is not directly tied to the Company's performance. The agreement
states that annual base salary for Mr. Bell will be $195,000.00 per year. Other
key provisions of the contract include an agreement by Mr. Bell to keep
confidential information secret both during and after employment by the Company
and covenants not to compete with the Company for one year from the date of
termination of employment. The contract also provides Mr. Bell with 400,000
stock options at market price, vested over a three year period.
The Company maintains key man life insurance policies in the amount of
$1,000,000 each on the lives of Steven Bell and Marvin Frieman, former Director.

fifty percent of all life insurance proceeds to the spouse or surviving children
of each such individual.
The Company also has a three year employment agreement, from January 2005

Page 31
1999 STOCK COMPENSATION PLAN
1999 STOCK COMPENSATION PLAN
The total number of shares of stock reserved for awards to employees under
the Plan is 4.3 million shares. The purpose of the plan is to promote the
interest of the Company and its shareholders by providing employees of the
company with an opportunity to receive a proprietary interest in the Company and
thereby develop a stronger incentive to contribute to the Company's continued
success and growth. The plan is administered by a Committee of the Board of
Directors. Awards pursuant to the 1999 plan may be in the form of either a
restricted stock grant, which means that stock issued will vest over a three
year vesting period, or stock options.
Options granted under the Plan may be either "incentive" stock options
within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") or
"nonqualified" stock options that do not qualify for special tax treatment under
the IRC. No incentive stock option may be granted with a per share exercise
price less than the fair market value of a share of the Company's common stock
on the date the option is granted; in the case of any shareholder owning 10
percent or more of the common stock to whom an incentive stock option has been
granted under the Plan, the exercise price thereof is required to be not less
than 110 percent of the fair market value of the common stock on the date the
option is granted. Options are not transferable. An optionee, or his or her
personal representative, may exercise his or her option for a period of ninety
(90) days following termination of employment, disability or death. The term of
each option, which is fixed by the Committee, may not exceed 10 years from the
date the option is granted, or 5 years in the case of incentive stock options
granted to shareholder owing 10 percent or more of the common stock to whom
options have been granted. Options may be made exercisable in whole or in
installments as determined by the Committee or Board. The Committee or Board may
cancel an option of an employee who has been terminated for cause or takes
employment with a competitor. The closing sale price of a share of the Company's
common stock was $ $1.27 on August 23, 2005.
Federal Income Tax Matters
Options. Incentive stock options granted under the 1999 plan are intended
to qualify for favorable tax treatment under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended. Under Section 422, an optionee recognizes no taxable
income when the option is granted. Further, the optionee generally will not
recognize any taxable income when the option is exercised if he or she has at
all times from the date of the option's grant until three months before the date
of exercise been an employee of the Company. The Company ordinarily is not
entitled to any income tax deduction upon the grant or exercise of an incentive
stock option. Certain other favorable tax consequences may be available to the
optionee if he or she does not dispose of the shares acquired upon the exercise
of an incentive stock option for a period of two years from the granting of the
option and one year from the receipt of the shares.
Under present law, an optionee will not realize any taxable income on the
date a nonqualified option is granted pursuant to the 1999 plan. Upon exercise
of the option, however, the optionee must recognize, in the year of exercise,
ordinary income equal to the difference between the option price and the fair
market value of the Company's common stock on the date of exercise. Upon the
sale of the shares, any resulting gain or loss will be treated as capital gain
or loss. The Company will receive an income tax deduction in its fiscal year in
which nonqualified options are exercised equal to the amount of ordinary income
recognized by those optionees exercising options, and must withhold income and
other employment related taxes on such ordinary income.
Restricted Stock Awards. Generally, no income is taxable to the recipient
of a restricted stock award in the year the award is granted. Instead, the
recipient will recognize compensation taxable as ordinary income equal to the
fair market value of the shares in the year in which the transfer restrictions
lapse. Alternatively, if a recipient makes a "Section 83(b)" election, the
recipient will, in the year that the restricted stock award is granted,
recognize compensation taxable as ordinary income equal to the fair market value
of the shares on the date of the award. The Company normally will receive a
deduction equal to the amount of compensation the recipient is required to
recognize as ordinary taxable income, and must comply with applicable tax
withholding requirements.
2000 NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR STOCK COMPENSATION PLAN
The total number of shares reserved for awards under the Plan is 800,000
shares. The purpose of the 2000 Directors' Plan is to enable the Company,
through the grant of non-qualified stock options to non-employee ("outside")
Directors of the Company, to attract and retain highly-qualified outside
Directors and, by providing them with such a stock-based incentive, to motivate
them to promote the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. For the
purposes of the Plan, outside Directors are Directors who, at the time of
granting of options under the Plan, are not and for the prior twelve months have
not been employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.
Page 32
All grants will provide for an exercise price equal to 100% of the fair
market value of a Share at the date of the grant. Options will become
exercisable approximately one year after date of grant and will expire ten years
after date of grant, subject to earlier exercise and termination in certain
circumstances. If an outside Director ceases to be a Director due to death, any
of his outstanding options that have not yet become exercisable will accelerate,
and all of his outstanding Options will remain exercisable for various specified
periods of time up to a maximum of approximately one year. If an outside
Director ceases to be a Director due to disability, all of his or her
outstanding options not fully vested will immediately terminate, and those that
are fully vested will remain exercisable for various specified periods of time
up to a maximum of approximately one year. If an outside Director ceases to be a
Director for any other reason, all of his or her outstanding options not fully
vested will immediately terminate, and those that are fully vested will remain
exercisable for 90 days.
The closing sale price of a share of the Company's common stock was $1.27 on
August 23, 2005.
Federal Income Tax Matters
Under present law, an optionee will not realize any taxable income on the
date a nonqualified option is granted pursuant to the 2000 Directors' Plan. Upon
exercise of the option, however, the optionee must recognize, in the year of
exercise, ordinary income equal to the difference between the option price and
the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date of exercise.
Upon the sale of the shares, any resulting gain or loss will be treated as
capital gain or loss. The Company will receive an income tax deduction in its
fiscal year in which nonqualified options are exercised equal to the amount of
ordinary income recognized by those optionees exercising options, and must
withhold income and other employment related taxes on such ordinary income.
2000 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
The 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("the ESPP") was adopted by the
Multiband shareholders in August 2000. The purpose of the ESPP is to provide
eligible employees with an opportunity to increase their proprietary interest in
the success of Multiband by purchasing Common Stock from Multiband on favorable
terms and to pay for such purchase through payroll deductions. The aggregate
number of shares of stock available for purchase under the ESPP is 400,000. The
ESPP is intended to qualify under section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. The
provisions of the ESPP shall be construed so as to extend and limit
participation in a manner consistent with the requirements of that section of
the Code.
The ESPP is administered by a committee of Multiband's board of directors.
The committee consists exclusively of one or more directors of Multiband who are
appointed by the Board. The committee interprets the ESPP and makes all other
policy decisions relating to the operation of the ESPP. The committee may adopt
such rules, guidelines and forms as it deems appropriate to implement the ESPP.
The committee's determination under the ESPP are final and binding on all
persons.
The ESPP Year consists of a twelve-month period commencing on January 1
and ending on December 31. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the first ESPP Year
will be a short year commencing on the effective date of the ESPP and ending on
December 31, 2000.
EMPLOYEE BENEFITS PLANS
Multiband has 401(k) profit sharing plans covering substantially all
full-time employees. Employee contributions are limited to the maximum amount
allowable by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Multiband made no
significant discretionary contributions in years 1999, 1998 and 1997.
CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
The following is a summary of all significant related party transactions
for the three years ended December 31, 2004.

director, who was elected to the board of directors during 2003, of
approximately $0, $1,124,000 and $636,000 for the years ended December 31, 2004,
2003, and 2002, respectively. In addition, the Company had accounts receivable
outstanding from these companies of approximately $140,000, $142,000, and

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The Selling Stockholders and any of their pledges, assignees and
successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares
of Common Stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the
shares are traded or in private transactions. Currently, the company is listed
only on the NASDAQ exchange where the shares will be offered. These sales may be
at fixed or negotiated prices. The Selling Stockholders may use any one or more
of the following methods when selling shares:
o Ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the
broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
o Block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the
shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block
as principal to facilitate the transaction;
o Purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the
broker-dealer for its account;
o An exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the
applicable exchange;
o Privately negotiated transactions;
o Settlement of short sales;
o Broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a
specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
o A combination of any such methods of sale; and
o Any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the
Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other
brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions
or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as
agent for the purchaser of shares from the purchaser) in amounts to be
negotiated. The Selling Stockholders do not expect these commissions and
discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.
The Selling Stockholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security
interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they
default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledges or secured
parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock from time to time under
this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3)
or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933 amending the list of
Selling Stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in
interest as Selling Stockholders under this prospectus.
The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are
involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the
meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. Oak Ridge
Financial, one of the Selling Shareholders is a broker-dealer. In such event,
any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the
resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting
commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. The Selling Stockholders have
informed the Company that it does not have any agreement or understanding,
directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the Common Stock.
The Company is required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the
registration of the shares. The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling
Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including
liabilities under the Securities Act.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
CAPITAL STRUCTURE
The Articles of Incorporation of Multiband authorize Multiband to issue
100 million shares of capital stock, which have no par value. However, the
shares have a par value of one cent per share for the purpose of a statute or
regulation imposing a tax or fee based upon the capitalization of a corporation.
As of August 18, 2005 there were 29,092,035 shares of common stock outstanding,
5.5 million shares reserved for issuance under our stock plans, 19,034,079

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 Class
A Preferred, Class B Preferred, Class C Preferred, Class D Preferred, Class E
Preferred, Class F Preferred Class G Preferred, Class H Preferred and Class I
Preferred, 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 warrants being registered hereunder have a three year term with one
half of the warrants allowing the warrant holder to purchase one share of
Multiband common stock for $1.575 per share and one half of the warrants
allowing the warrant holder to purchase one share of Multiband common stock for
$1.725 per share.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Under Section 302A.251 of the Minnesota statutes, a corporation shall,
unless prohibited or limited by its Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws,
indemnify its directors, officers, employees and agents against judgments,
penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees
and disbursements, incurred by such person who was, or is threatened to be, made
a party to a proceeding by reason of the fact that the person is or was a
director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation if generally, with
respect to the acts or omissions of the person complained of in the proceeding,
the person (i) has not been indemnified by another organization with respect to
the same acts or omissions; (ii) acted in good faith; (iii) received no improper
personal benefit; (iv) in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable
cause to believe the conduct was unlawful; and (v) reasonably believed the
conduct was in the best interest of the corporation or, in certain
circumstances, reasonably believed that the conduct was not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation. Minnesota corporate law also provides that a
corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any indemnified
party against any liability asserted against such person, whether or not the
corporation would have been required to indemnify the person against liability
under the provisions of Minnesota corporate law. Multiband's Articles of
Incorporation provide for indemnification pursuant to Minnesota statutes. We
also have directors' and officers' insurance in the amount of $3,000,000 per
occurrence.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To Stockholders, Board of Directors, and Audit Committee
Multiband Corporation and subsidiaries (formerly known as Vicom, Incorporated
and subsidiaries)
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Multiband
Corporation and subsidiaries (formerly known as Vicom, Incorporated and
subsidiaries) as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 2004. 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 (formerly known as: Vicom, Incorporated
and subsidiaries) as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2004, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nature of Business
Multiband Corporation and subsidiaries, formerly known as Vicom, Incorporated
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, 2004, 2003, and 2002, the Company incurred net
losses of $ 9,783,962, $4,365,004 and $4,438,059, respectively. At December 31,
2004, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $44,704,609. The Company's
ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on it ultimately achieving
profitability and/or raising additional capital. On February 3, 2005, the
Company completed a $10 million private placement of the Company's Series I
Convertible Preferred Stock. 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. The Company, in February 2005 issued $10,000,000
worth of Class I Preferred Stock to a group of accredited investors.
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.
6. Discontinuation of Multiband business services segment which was unprofitable
in 2004. This segment was sold effective April 1, 2005.
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.

MULTIBAND CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
(FKA VICOM INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002
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 Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards 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. In accordance with appropriate
accounting rules, the Company has reclassified the previously reported financial
results to exclude the results of the Multiband Business Services (CTU) and
these results are presented on a historical basis as a separate line in the
consolidated statement of operations and the consolidated balance sheets
entitled "Discontinued Operations". All of the financial information in the
consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial
statements has been revised to reflect only the results of continuing operations
(see Note 16). Based on the discussions and efforts to sell these assets, the
Company determined, based on the final purchase price which was arrived at in
the first quarter of 2005, it was required to take an impairment charge to the
goodwill of the Multiband Business Services division. As a result, an impairment
charge related to goodwill of $2,221,000 was recorded in the fourth quarter of
2004.
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. The Company
recognizes revenue (included in discontinued operations) as products are shipped
based on FOB shipping point terms when title passes 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) Voice, data, and video
revenue directly generated by the Company as a principal to subscribers, and 6)
DirecTV master system operator revenue earned 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.
Customer's 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 revenues related to
Page 16
MULTIBAND CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
(FKA VICOM INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002
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, 2004, 2003 and 2002. 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 programming
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.
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 has a certificate of deposit which matures in December 2005.

(FKA VICOM INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002
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
$225,000 and $223,000 at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Accounts
receivable over 90 days were $559,000 and $433,000 at December 31, 2004 and
2003, 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. Nonmonetary 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 loan of approximately
three years using the straight-line method, which approximates the interest
method.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, "Business Combinations",
effective for acquisitions initiated on or after July 1, 2001, and No. 142,
"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2001. SFAS No. 141 requires that the purchase method of
accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001,
and includes guidance on the initial recognition and measurement of goodwill and
other intangible assets arising from business combinations. SFAS No. 142
indicates that goodwill (and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives)
will no longer be amortized but will be subject to annual impairment tests.
Other intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their useful lives.
The Company adopted SFAS No. 142 effective January 1, 2002. The Company
performed the required goodwill impairment test during the years ended December
31, 2004, 2003 and 2002.
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 years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003. For the quarter ended
Page 18
MULTIBAND CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
(FKA VICOM INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002
September 30, 2004 and for the year ended December 31, 2003, the independent
appraisal used the discounted future returns method to measure the fair value of
its business units. During the three months ended September 30, 2004, the
Company completed its review of goodwill through an independent appraisal and
determined it was partially impaired. The Company recorded impairment charges to
goodwill of $527,879 related to the Corporate Technologies (CTU) acquisition
during the quarter ended September 30, 2004. Under the discounted future returns
method, future benefits over a period of time are estimated and then discounted
back to present value. The independent appraiser used a discount factor of 15.8%
and 16.8% for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Based
upon the 2003 independent appraisal, the Company determined that its current
goodwill balances were not impaired as of December 31, 2003. As of December 31,
2004, goodwill related to discontinued operations of $2,221,000 was entirely
written off and was included in discontinued operations. Goodwill related to
continuing operations was $812,366 as of December 31, 2004.
Components of intangible assets are as follows:

Amortization of intangible assets was $2,301,016, $33,291 and $16,750 for the
years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Estimated
amortization expense of intangible assets for the years ending December 31,
2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 is $3,297,005, $3,047,921, $2,974,281,
$2,908,666, $2,817,297 and $1,036,464, respectively. The weighted average
remaining life of the intangibles is 5.5 years with right of entry average life
of 6.0 years and customer cable lists of 2.6 years. The Company believes the
goodwill recorded of $812,366 will be deductible for tax purposes.

The Company amortizes a domain name acquired during the year ended
December 31, 2001 over its estimated useful life of five years using the
straight-line method. 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 73 months.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are charged to expense as incurred. Advertising costs were
$176,592, $146,906, $104,788 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and
2002, 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.
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 nonemployees 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 $212,714, $447,481, and
$482,999 of compensation cost has been recognized in the accompanying
consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2004,
2003 and 2002, 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 2004,
2003, and 2002, 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:
2004 2003 2002
------------ ------------ ------------
Risk-free interest rate 3.31% 3.00% 4.40%
Expected life of options granted 10 years 10 years 10 years
Expected volatility range 184% 170% 170%
Expected dividend yield 0% 0% 0%
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, 2004, 2003 and 2002 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 November 2004, FASB issued SFAS No. 151 "Inventory Costs" which amends the
guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4 "Inventory Pricing," to clarify the accounting
for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and
wasted material (spoilage). Paragraph 5 of ARB 43, Chapter 4, previously stated
that under some circumstances, items such as idle facility expense, excessive
spoilage, double freight, and rehandling costs may be so abnormal as to require
treatment as current period charges. SFAS No. 151 requires that those items be
Page 21
MULTIBAND CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
(FKA VICOM INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002
recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the
criterion of "so abnormal." In addition, SFAS No, 151 requires that allocation
of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal
capacity of the production facilities. SFAS No. 151 shall be effective for
inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005.
Earlier application is permitted for inventory costs incurred during fiscal
years beginning after the date SFAS No. 151 was issued. SFAS No. 151 shall be
applied prospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 151
to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2004, FASB issued SFAS No. 153 "Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets"
which amends APB Opinion No. 29, "Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions." APB
No. 29 is based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be
measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. The guidance in that
Opinion, however, included certain exceptions to that principle. SFAS No. 153
amends APB No. 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of
similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges
of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary
exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are
expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. SFAS No. 153 shall
be effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods
beginning after June 15, 2005. Earlier application is permitted for nonmonetary
asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after the date SFAS No.
153 was issued. SFAS No. 153 shall be applied prospectively. The Company does
not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 153 to have a material effect on its
consolidated financial statements.
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 July 1, 2005, 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, 2005 is estimated
to range from approximately $150,000 and $200,000 based on the value of the
options outstanding as of December 31, 2004 that will vest during the third and
fourth quarters of 2005. This estimate does not include any expenses for options
that may be granted and vested during 2005.
In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB
Interpretation No. 46 (Revised December 2003), "Consolidation of Variable
Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51" (FIN 46R). This standard
replaces FIN 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" that was issued in
January 2003. FIN 46R modifies or clarifies various provisions of FIN 46. FIN
46R addresses the consolidation of business enterprises of variable interest
entities (VIEs), as defined by FIN 46R. FIN 46R exempts certain entities from
its requirements and provides for special effective dates for entities that have
fully or partially applied FIN 46 prior to issuance of FIN 46R. Otherwise,
application of FIN 46R is required in financial statements of public entities
that have interest in structures commonly referred to as special purpose
entities for periods ending after December 15, 2003. Application by the Company
for all other types of VIEs is required in financial statements for periods
ending no later than the quarter ended January 31, 2005. The adoption of FIN 46R
did not have a material effect on the Company's 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, and stock subscriptions and interest receivable,
property and equipment estimated useful lives, goodwill carrying value and the
valuation of deferred income tax assets.

Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts for all financial instruments approximate 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).
The reason for the joint venture with PACE is to continue to expand the
Company's services related to multi-users of voice, data and video services. The
remaining 50% ownership was purchased January 1, 2004.
On April 25, 2003, the Company, through MB USA, purchased certain video
equipment assets, related rights to video subscribers and rights of access
agreements from Suncoast Automation, Inc. (Suncoast). The purchase price was
allocated to the acquired assets and assumed certain liabilities based on the
estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The purchase price was
allocated to assets and liabilities acquired as follows:
Property and equipment $ 504,224
Access contracts 60,000
Capital lease obligations (54,224)
------------
Net purchase price $ 510,000
============
The net purchase price of $510,000 consisted entirely of cash paid. The
consolidated results of operations on an unaudited pro forma basis are not
presented separately as the results do not differ significantly from historical
amounts presented herein.
On December 31, 2003, the Company purchased 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. If the Company fails to pay the $165,000
in full, all rights and title of the customer lists mentioned above will revert
back to Florida Cable. At December 31, 2003, the Company has recorded the
$165,000 liability associated with the contingent purchase of equipment.
On January 1, 2004, the Company 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
Page 23
MULTIBAND CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
(FKA VICOM INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002
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.
In April 2004, the Company 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), (fka
Vicom, Incorporated and subsidiaries), completed its acquisition of Minnesota
Digital Universe, Inc. (MDU) 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 40,000 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), 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. 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 (5.25% at
December 31, 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)
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 finders 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.
With these acquisitions, the Company has substantially increased its subscriber
base.

collateralized by the accounts receivable up to $300,000 as well as all of the
inventory financed and the $1,450,000 letters of credit which expire through
April 2006. The wholesale line of credit agreement is an agreement between the
Company, financial institution, and certain vendors of the Company. The Company
receives no funds from the financial institution, but pays the financial
institution rather than certain vendors. The balance outstanding was $926,201
and $976,314 at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The line of credit was

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002
In 2000, the Company entered into a $2,250,000 debenture agreement with
Convergent Capital Partners I, L.P., with interest at 14% 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%
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. A waiver was obtained from the lender. The
debenture payable may be redeemed at the Company's option at a premium declining
ratably thereafter to par value in April 2005.
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.
In November 2003, the Company borrowed $1,500,000 and issued a three-year
warrant to the lender to purchase 535,000 common shares at $2.21 per share
through November 2006. 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.

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 and
2003, accrued rent of $19,500 and $56,560, respectively, was owed to this
related party. 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 in August 2017. The
monthly base rents range from $84,321 to $97,910, net of payments received from
subleases. 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. The leases contain provisions for payments of real estate taxes,
insurance and common area costs.
Total rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002
including common area costs and real estate taxes was approximately $634,000,
$578,000 and $566,000, respectively. Rent expense with related parties for
December 31, 2004, 2003, 2002 was approximately $0, $59,000 and $462,000,

Legal proceedings
The Company is involved in legal actions in the ordinary course of its business,
including an action brought by Private Investor's Equity Group (PIEG) brought in
the third quarter of 2004, 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.
Significant Relationship
The Company is master agent for DirecTV pursuant to a system operator agreement
with DirecTV dated May 22, 2003. 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 44.3% of total revenue in 2004.

through its designated funds, Monarch Pointe Fund, Ltd, Mercator Momentum Fund,
LP. Mercator Momentum Fund III, LP., and certain investors.
Under the terms of the preferred stock offering, the Company issued 100,000

amount of $10 million. The shares of Series I Convertible Preferred Stock
contain a monthly dividend that is payable at prime plus 10% through August 31,

Sale of Multiband Business Services segment
Effective April 1, 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").
The purchase price paid by the Buyer was $2,650,000 which consisted of
$1,683,184 in cash at closing, $366,816 in assumed vacation pay and warranty
liabilities, and the balance of $600,000 in a 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 provided by the Company in the
purchase agreement. The Company anticipates a reserve of $178,948 against this
note receivable due to uncertainty of collectibility of the note.
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
Seller's Minneapolis and Fargo locations and obtain access to certain aspects of
Seller'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 may receive additional
free rent for part or all of a second year depending on the results of a post
closing inventory appraisal. It is indeterminable at this time the results of
this appraisal, however, the Company estimates the second year option will be
exercised and will be accruing the liability as part of the sale transaction.
In conjunction with the sale, the Company reduced its indebtedness to Convergent
Capital $2,000,000. Estimated gain on sale of MBS Business:

Note 1 - Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information furnished in this report is unaudited and reflects all
adjustments which are normal recurring adjustments and, which in the opinion of
management, are necessary to fairly present the operating results for the
interim periods. The operating results for the interim periods presented are not
necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full
fiscal year.

NOTE 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nature of Business
Multiband Corporation and subsidiaries, formerly known as Vicom, Incorporated
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 six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company incurred net losses of
$3,879,562 and $2,968,339 respectively. At June 30, 2005, the Company had an
accumulated deficit of $50,184,889. The Company's ability to continue as a going
concern is dependent on it ultimately achieving profitability and/or raising
additional capital. On February 3, 2005, the Company completed a $10 million
private placement of the Company's Series I Convertible Preferred Stock which
includes $520,000 of offering costs. 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. The Company, in February 2005 issued $10,000,000
worth of Class I Preferred Stock to a group of accredited investors.
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.
6. Discontinuation of Multiband business services segment which was unprofitable
in 2004. This segment was sold effective after the close of business March 31,
2004.

MULTIBAND CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2005 AND 2004
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 Subscriber Services, 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. On April 1, 2005, the
continuing operations of CTU terminated (see Note 9.)
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 Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for Impairment or Disposal
of Long-Lived Assets" as being held for sale. Operations and cash flows were
eliminated as a result of the sale and the Company will not have any significant
involvement in the operations after the sale. In accordance with appropriate
accounting rules, the Company has reclassified the previously reported financial
results to exclude the results of the Multiband Business Services (CTU) and
these results are presented on a historical basis as a separate line in the
consolidated statements of operations and the consolidated balance sheets
entitled "Discontinued Operations". All of the financial information in the
consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial
statements has been revised to reflect only the results of continuing operations
(see Note 9). Based on the discussions and efforts to sell these assets, the
Company determined, based on the final purchase price which was arrived at in
the first quarter of 2005, it was required to take an impairment charge to the
goodwill of the Multiband Business Services division. As a result, an impairment
charge related to goodwill of $2,221,000 was recorded in the fourth quarter of
2004.
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 reasonably assured; and (iv)
product delivery has occurred or services have been rendered. The Company
recognizes revenue (included in discontinued operations) as products are shipped
based on FOB shipping point terms when title passes 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) voice, data and video
revenue directly generated by the Company as a principal to subscribers, and 6)
DirecTV master service operator revenue earned primarily through the activation
of and residual fees on video programming services.
Page 6
MULTIBAND CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2005 AND 2004
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.
Customer's 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.
Substantially all of the service revenue the Company had in the past was part of
the business segment, Multiband Business Services, which was sold effective
after business hours on March 31, 2005. Service revenues for continuing
operations accounted for less than 10% of total revenues for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004.
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 programming
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.
Warranty costs incurred on new product sales are substantially reimbursed by the
equipment suppliers.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Impairment of Goodwill
We periodically evaluate acquired businesses for potential impairment
indicators. Our judgements 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 is
impaired. Any resulting impairment loss could have a material adverse impact on
our financial condition and results of operations. Goodwill related to
continuing operations was $812,366 at both June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004.

The Company amortizes a domain name over its estimated useful life of five years
using the straight-line method. The Company amortizes access contracts and
customer cable lists over their useful estimated lives ranging from two to five
years. The Company is amortizing the right of entry contracts over their
estimated useful lives ranging from 36 to 73 months. Debt issuance costs are
amortized over the life of the loan of approximately three years using the
straight-line method, which approximates the interest method.
Amortization of intangible assets was $849,730 and $969,185 for the three months
ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. For the six months ended June 30,
2005 and 2004, amortization of intangible assets was $1,714,854 and $1,163,648,
respectively. Amortization of debt issuance costs of $98,011, is included in
interest expense. Estimated amortization expense of intangible assets for the
years ending December 31, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 is $3,459,762,
$3,217,718, $3,036,976, $2,986,738, $2,895,384 and $1,070,429, respectively. The
weighted average remaining life of the intangibles is 5.5 years with right of
entry average life of 6.0 years and customer cable lists of 2.6 years.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2005 AND 2004
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 nonemployees 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 and $99,774 of
compensation cost has been recognized in the accompanying consolidated
statements of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004,
respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, $0 and $212,415
of compensation cost has been recognized. 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 three and six months ended June 30:
Three months Three months Six months Six months

In determining the compensation cost of the options granted during the three and
six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, 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:

MULTIBAND CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2005 AND 2004
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 three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004
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: 1) MCS, which acts as a principal in billing voice, data
and cable revenues to subscribers; and 2) MDU, Inc. which collects net revenue
from DirecTV.
Reclassifications
Certain accounts in the prior quarters' consolidated financial statements have
been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to the presentation in the
current quarter consolidated financial statements. These reclassifications had
no effect on net loss or stockholders' equity.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (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 periods'
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. Earlier
application is permitted for accounting changes and corrections of errors made
occurring in fiscal years beginning after June 1, 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.
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 July 1, 2005, 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, 2005 is estimated
to range from approximately $150,000 and $200,000 based on the value of the
options outstanding as of December 31, 2004 that will vest during the third and
fourth quarters of 2005. This estimate does not include any expenses for options
that may be granted and vested during 2005.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 3 - Business Acquisitions
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On January 1, 2004, the Company 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 June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the
Company was not obligated to issue any of the contingent shares of common stock.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2005 AND 2004
In April 2004, the Company 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), (fka
Vicom, Incorporated and subsidiaries), completed its acquisition of Minnesota
Digital Universe, Inc. (MDU) 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 40,000 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), 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 31, 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. 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.

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. 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 partially
paid for in Company stock, valued at $1.42 for a total of $31,250, and the
remaining $93,750 was paid in cash by December 31, 2004.
Effective April 1, 2005, the Company purchased certain video assets (equipment
and video subscribers) from Ultravision, Inc. for $287,050 cash including a
finder's fee of $12,050.
With these acquisitions, the Company has substantially increased its subscriber
base.

NOTE 7 - Commitments and Contingencies
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Legal Proceedings
The Company, in June 2005, settled its legal action with Private Investor's
Equity Group (PIEG). The terms of the settlement require Multiband to pay PIEG
$150,000 over an eleven month period and issue PIEG 33,334 shares of restricted
Multiband common stock. The shares were valued at $36,000 using the market value
on the settlement date. As of June 30, 2005, with the exclusion of the
aforementioned PIEG matter, 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.
The Company is involved in legal actions in the ordinary course of its business.
Management believes that there are 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.
Significant Relationship
The Company is a master agent for DirecTV pursuant to a system operator
agreement with DirecTV dated May 22, 2003. 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
were 50.3 % and 50.9% of total revenues for the three and six months ended June
30, 2005, respectively. Revenues generated from DirecTV for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2004 were 64.4% and 51.0% of total revenues.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 8 - Related Party
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Company, during the six months ended June 30, 2005 received payment for
accounts receivable of approximately $131,000 from companies that are associated
with a board director. In addition, the Company had accounts receivable
outstanding from these companies of approximately $9,000, and $140,000 at June
30, 2005, and December 31, 2004, respectively.

NOTE 9 -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
JUNE 30, 2005 AND 2004
The 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 a 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 provided by the Company in the
purchase agreement. The Company has recorded a reserve of $178,948 against this
note receivable due to uncertainty of collectibility of the note.
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 may
receive additional free rent for part or all of a second year depending on the
results of a post closing inventory appraisal. It is indeterminable at this time
the results of this appraisal, however, the Company estimates the second year
option will be exercised and will be accruing the liability as part of the sale
transaction.
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

a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
the effective date of the registration statement (or the most
recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually
or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
information set forth in the registration statement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in
volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
securities offered would not exceed that which was registered)
and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated
maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of
prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)
if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price
represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate
offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration
Fee" table in the effective registration statement.
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan
of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration
statement or any material change to such information in the
registration statement;
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
registrant's annual reports pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act
of 1993, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed
as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A
and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant
pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act
shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the
time it was declared effective.
(2) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act
of 1993, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of
prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide
offering thereof.
