Item 1
Business
Multiband Corporation (Multiband), (f/k/a Vicom, Incorporated)., is a
Minnesota corporation formed in September 1975. Multiband has one operating
division: 1) Multiband Consumer Services (MCS, legally known as Corporate
Technologies, USA, Inc. dba Multiband), which encompasses the subsidiary
corporations, Multiband USA, Inc., URON, Inc., Minnesota Digital Universe, Inc.,
and Rainbow Satellite Group, LLC.
Multiband completed an initial public offering in June 1984. In November
1992, Multiband became a non-reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934. In July 2000, Multiband regained its reporting company status. In
December, 2000, Multiband stock began trading on the NASDAQ stock exchange under
the symbol VICM. In July 2004, the symbol was changed to MBND concurrent with
the Company's name change from Vicom, Incorporated to Multiband Corporation.
Multiband's website is located at: www.multibandusa.com.
From its inception until December 31, 1998, Multiband operated as a
telephone interconnect company only. Effective December 31, 1998, Multiband
acquired the assets of the Midwest region of Enstar Networking Corporation
(ENC), a data cabling and networking company. In late 1999, in the context of a
forward triangular merger, Multiband to expand its range of computer products
and related services, purchased the stock of Ekman, Inc. d/b/a Corporate
Technologies, and merged Ekman, Inc. into the newly formed surviving
corporation, Corporate Technologies, USA, Inc. (MBS). MBS provided voice, data
and video systems and services to business and government. The MBS business
segment was sold effective March 31, 2005. All 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. MCS began in
February 2000. MCS, the Company's continuing operating division, provides voice,
data and video services to multiple dwelling units (MDUs), including apartment
buildings, condominiums and time share resorts. During 2004 the Company
purchased video subscribers in a number of separate transactions, the largest
one being Rainbow Satellite Group, LLC. During 2004 the Company also purchased
the stock of Minnesota Digital Universe, Inc., 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.
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.
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 April 1, 2005, MCS had 36,816 subscriptions for its services, (1,386
voice subscriptions, 31,177 video subscriptions and 4,253 internet
subscriptions).
Employees
As of March 31, 2005, Multiband employed three full-time management
employees, four accounting personnel, and six information technology employees.
As of that same date, MCS had 33 full-time employees, consisting of eight in
sales and marketing, seven in technical positions, sixteen in customer service
and related support, and two in management.
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 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.
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 2007. Although an
alternate provider of satellite television services, Echostar, exists, the
termination of its agreements with DirecTV could have a material adverse effect
on Multiband's business.
Changes in Technology
A portion of our projected future revenue is dependent on public
acceptance of broadband, and expanded satellite television services. Acceptance
of these services is partially dependent on the infrastructure of the internet
and satellite television which is beyond Multiband's control. In addition, newer
technologies, such as video-on-demand, are being developed which could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's competitiveness in the marketplace if
Multiband is unable to adopt or deploy such technologies.
Attraction and Retention of Employees
Multiband's success depends on the continued employment of certain key
personnel, including executive officers. If Multiband were unable to continue to
attract and retain a sufficient number of qualified key personnel, its business,
operating results and financial condition could be materially and adversely
affected. In addition, Multiband's success depends on its ability to attract,
develop, motivate and retain highly skilled and educated professionals with a
wide variety of management, marketing, selling and technical capabilities.
Competition for such personnel is intense and is expected to increase in the
future.
Intellectual Property Rights
Multiband relies on a combination of trade secret, copyright, and
trademark laws, license agreements, and contractual arrangements with certain
key employees to protect its proprietary rights and the proprietary rights of
third parties from which Multiband licenses intellectual property. Multiband
also relies on agreements with owners of MDUs which grant the Company rights of
access for a specific period to MDU premises whereby Multiband is allowed to
offer its voice, data, and video services to individual residents of the MDUs.
If it was determined that Multiband infringed the intellectual property rights
of others, it could be required to pay substantial damages or stop selling
products and services that contain the infringing intellectual property, which
could have a material adverse effect on Multiband's business, financial
condition and results of operations. Also, there can be no assurance that
Multiband would be able to develop non-infringing technology or that it could
obtain a license on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Multiband's
success depends in part on its ability to protect the proprietary and
confidential aspects of its technology and the products and services it sells.
There can be no assurance that the legal protections afforded to Multiband or
the steps taken by Multiband will be adequate to prevent misappropriation of
Multiband's intellectual property.
Variability of Quarterly Operating Results; Seasonality
Variations in Multiband's revenues and operating results occur from
quarter to quarter as a result of a number of factors, including customer
engagements commenced and completed during a quarter, the number of business
days in a quarter, employee hiring and utilization rates, the ability of
customers to terminate engagements without penalty, the size and scope of
assignments and general economic conditions. Because a significant portion of
Multiband's expenses are relatively fixed, a variation in the number of customer
projects or the timing of the initiation or completion of projects could cause
significant fluctuations in operating results from quarter to quarter. Further,
Multiband has historically experienced a seasonal fluctuation in its operating
results, with a larger proportion of its revenues and operating income occurring
during the third quarter of the fiscal year.
Certain Anti-Takeover Effects
Multiband is subject to Minnesota statutes regulating business
combinations and restricting voting rights of certain persons acquiring shares
of Multiband. These anti-takeover statutes may render more difficult or tend to
discourage a merger, tender offer or proxy contest, the assumption of control by
a holder of a large block of Multiband's securities, or the removal of incumbent
management.
Volatility of Multiband's Common Stock
The trading price of our common stock has been and is likely to be
volatile. The stock market has experienced extreme volatility, and this
volatility has often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular
companies. We cannot be sure that an active public market for our common stock
will continue after this offering. Investors may not be able to sell the common
stock at or above the price they paid for their common stock, or at all. Prices
for the common stock will be determined in the marketplace and may be influenced
by many factors, including variations in our financial results, changes in
earnings estimates by industry research analysts, investors' perceptions of us
and general economic, industry and market conditions.
Future Sales of Our Common Stock May Lower Our Stock Price
If our existing shareholders sell a large number of shares of our common
stock, the market price of the common stock could decline significantly. The
perception in the public market that our existing shareholders might sell shares
of common stock could depress our market price.
Competition
We face competition from others who are competing for a share of the MDU
market, including other satellite companies 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."
Item 2:
Properties
Multiband and its subsidiaries lease principal offices located at 2000
44th Street SW, Fargo, ND 58103 and 9449 Science Center Drive, New Hope,
Minnesota 55428. We have no foreign operations. The main Fargo office lease
expires in 2017 and covers approximately 22,500 square feet. The Fargo base rent
ranges from $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.
Item 3:
Legal Proceedings
The Company is involved in legal actions in the ordinary course of
business, including an action brought by Private Investor's Equity Group (PIEG)
brought in the third quarter of 2004, which seeks damages in excess of $75,000
over an alleged financing fee owed. The Company believes the claims are without
merit and is vigorously defending against the action. However, as of December
31, 2004, with the possible exception of the aforementioned PIEG proceeding,
Multiband was not engaged in any pending legal proceedings where, in the opinion
of the Company, the outcome is likely to have a material adverse effect upon the
business, operating results and financial condition of the Company.
Item 4:
Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
The Company did not submit matters to a vote of security holders during
the last quarter of the fiscal year covered by this report.
PART II
Item 5:
Market for the Registrant's Common Equity, Related Shareholder Matters and
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
Through May 17, 2000, Multiband's common stock was traded and quoted on
the OTC Bulletin Board(R) ("OTCBB") under the symbol "VICM." From May 18, 2000
until August 21, 2000, the common stock was quoted under the VICM symbol on the
Pink Sheets(R) operated by Pink Sheets LLC. From August 21, 2000, to December
12, 2000, Multiband's common stock was traded and quoted on the OTCBB under the
VICM symbol. Since then, the stock has been traded and quoted on the Nasdaq
Smallcap market system. In July 2004, the symbol was changed to MBND to coincide
with the Company's name change to Multiband Corporation. The table below sets
forth the high and low bid prices for the common stock during each quarter in
the two years ended December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2004 as provided by
Nasdaq.

Class G Preferred, 8 shareholders held a total of 4.8 shares of Class H
Preferred, and four shareholders held a total of 100,000 shares of Class I
Preferred.
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
In 2004, the Company, via accredited investor purchasers of common stock,
exercise of warrants, or other conversion into common stock, issued 2.3 million
common shares at various prices, netting proceeds of approximately $3.2 million.
The Company in 2004 issued $212,110 worth of its common stock to Pyramid
Trading LP in connection with conversion of a note payable and accrued interest.
The common stock was issued at various prices pursuant to a formula tied to the
trading price of the Company's common stock.
The Company in 2004 issued $230,909 worth of its common stock to Laurus
Master Fund Ltd in connection with conversion of a note payable. The common
stock was issued at a conversion rate of $1.40.
At various other times in 2004, the Company issued $194,575 worth of
common stock in connection with conversion of interest and notes payable. The
common stock was issued at various prices pursuant to a formula tied to the
trading price of the Company's common stock.
In 2004 the Company repurchased 27,500 shares of common stock for $62,975
from a former officer of the Company.
The Company, during 2004, issued $452,450 worth of Class G Preferred Stock
and $1,083,341 worth of Class H Preferred Stock to various accredited investors.
In connection with these sales, we relied on the exemption from
registration provided by Sections 4(2) and 4(6) of the Securities Act of 1933,
as well as Rule 506 of Regulation D based on (i) our belief that the issuances
did not involve a public offering, (ii) the transactions involved fewer than 35
purchasers, and (iii) because we had a reasonable basis to believe that each of
the shareholders were either accredited or otherwise had sufficient knowledge
and sophistication, either alone or with a purchaser representative, to
appreciate and evaluate the risks and merits associated with their investment
decision.
Common Stock
Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share in all matters
to be voted upon by shareholders. There is no cumulative voting for the election
of directors, which means that the holders of shares entitled to exercise more
than 50% of the voting rights in the election of directors are able to elect all
of the directors. Multiband's Articles of Incorporation provide that holders of
the Company's common stock do not have preemptive rights to subscribe for and to
purchase additional shares of common stock or other obligations convertible into
shares of common stock which may be issued by the Company.
Holders of common stock are entitled to receive such dividends as are
declared by Multiband's Board of Directors out of funds legally available for
the payment of dividends. Multiband presently intends not to pay any dividends
on the common stock for the foreseeable future. Any future determination as to
the declaration and payment of dividends will be made at the discretion of the
Board of Directors. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up
of Multiband, and subject to the preferential rights of the holders of the Class
A Preferred, Class B Preferred, Class C Preferred, Class D Preferred and Class E
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 Company's Board of Directors has not declared any dividends on our
common stock since our inception, and does not intend to pay out any cash
dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We presently intend to
retain all earnings, if any, to provide for our growth. The payment of cash
dividends in the future, if any, will be at the discretion of the Board of
Directors and will depend upon such factors as earnings levels, capital
requirements, our financial condition and other factors deemed relevant by our
Board of Directors.
Preferred Stock
In December 1998, Multiband issued 2,550 shares of Class A Preferred for $23,638
and 37,550 shares of Class B Preferred for $359,893. The Class B Preferred was
offered to certain note holders at a conversion rate of $10.00 per share of
Class B Preferred. Each share of Class A Preferred and Class B Preferred is
non-voting (except as otherwise required by law) and convertible into five
shares of common stock, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. Each

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
The following discussion of the financial condition and results of
operations of Multiband should be read in conjunction with the Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto included elsewhere in
this report.
Years Ended December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003.
This discussion does not include the results of discontinued operations.
Results of Operations
The following table sets forth certain items.

Operating loss from continuing operations (48.12%) (254.81%)
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.
Gross Margin:
The Company's Gross Margin was $5,124,430 in 2004 compared to $556,582 in
2003. The significant increase in Gross Margin resulted from the aforementioned
increase in revenues due primarily to acquisitions. For 2004, Gross Margin, as a
percentage of total revenues, was 46.30% versus 38.62% for 2003. The Company
expects Gross Margin percentages to remain stable in future periods due to the
relatively predictable nature of its consumer recurring revenues.
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).
Years Ended December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002
Results of Operations
The following table sets forth certain items from the Company's
consolidated statements of operations expressed as a percentage of total
revenue.

Operating loss from continuing operations (254.81%) (770.04%)
Loss from discontinued operations (48.08%) (1.17%)
Net Loss (302.89%) (768.87%)
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.
Gross Margin
The Company's gross margin was $556,582 for 2003, as compared to $159,128
for 2002. The increase of 249.8% in 2003 was due to the aforementioned revenue
increase. For 2003, gross margin, as a percentage of total revenues, was 38.6%
versus 27.6% for 2002. The Company expects gross margins to maintain or even
slightly increase in future periods as recurring revenues become a greater
percentage of the Company's overall revenue mix.
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.
Unaudited Quarterly Results
The following table sets forth certain unaudited quarterly operating
information for each of the eight quarters in the two-year period ending
December 31, 2004. This data includes, in the opinion of management, all normal
recurring adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the information for
the periods presented when read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated
financial statements and related notes thereto. Results for any previous fiscal
quarter are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year or for any
future quarter. The Company has historically experienced a seasonal fluctuation
in its operating results, with a larger proportion of its revenues in the third
quarter of the fiscal year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Year Ended December 31, 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 of 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 less inventory in its
consumer services division versus its discontinued business services division.
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.
The Company, as is common in the cable and telecommunications industries,
uses earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA")
as a measure of performance to demonstrate earnings exclusive of interest and
non-cash events. EBITDA is not, and should not be considered an alternative to
net income, income from operations, or any other measure for determining
operating performance or liquidity, as determined under accounting principals
generally accepted in the United States.
The most directly comparable GAAP reference in the Company's case is the removal
of interest, depreciation, amortization and other non cash charges. The
following table reconciles Company EBITDA to our consolidated net loss as
computed under GAAP.

=========== =========== =========== ===========
In February 2005, the Company sold ten million dollars worth of Class I
convertible preferred stock. With this investment and the Company's anticipated
EBITDA 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 $1,371,662 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.
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.
Critical Accounting Policies
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company's long-lived assets include property, equipment and leasehold
improvement. At December 31, 2004, the Company had net property and equipment of
$4,372,474 , which represents approximately 16% of the Company's total assets.
The estimated fair value of these assets is dependent on the Company's future
performance. In assessing for potential impairment for these assets, the Company
considers future performance. If these forecasts are not met, the Company may
have to record an impairment charge not previously recognized, which may be
material. In 2004 and 2003, the Company did not record any impairment. In 2002
the Company recorded impairment of $119,480 on property, plant and equipment.
Impairment of Goodwill
We periodically evaluate acquired businesses for potential impairment
indicators. Our judgments regarding the existence of impairment indicators are
based on legal factors, market conditions and operational performance of our
acquired businesses. Future events could cause us to conclude that impairment
indicators exist and that goodwill associated with our acquired businesses,
which amounts to $812,366, as of December 31, 2004, may be impaired. Any
resulting impairment loss could have a material adverse impact on our financial
condition and results of operations. In 2004, the Company recorded an impairment
charge of $527,879 related to Multiband Business Services. In 2004, the Company
wrote off $2,221,000 worth of goodwill from discontinued operations. During the
years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 , the Company did not record any
impairment losses related to goodwill.
Inventories
We value our inventory at the lower of the actual cost or the current estimated
market value of the inventory. We regularly review inventory quantities on hand
and record a provision for excess and obsolete inventory. Rapid technological
change, frequent new product development, and rapid product obsolescence that
could result in an increase in the amount of obsolete inventory quantities on
hand characterize our industry.
Recent 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
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", that focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an
entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. This
statement replaces SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", and
supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees."
Beginning with the quarterly period that begins July 1, 2006, the Company will
be required to expense the fair value of employee stock options and similar
awards. As a public company, the Company is allowed to select from two
alternative transition methods, each having different reporting implications.
The impact of SFAS No. 123R for the year ending December 31, 2006 is estimated
to 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 2006. 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.

Forward Looking Statements
From time to time, the Company may publish forward-looking statements
relating to such matters as anticipated financial performance, business
prospects, technological developments, new products, and similar matters. The
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for
forward-looking statements including those made in this document. In order to
comply with the terms of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act, the
Company notes that a variety of factors could cause the Company's actual results
and experience to differ materially from the anticipated results or other
expectations expressed in the Company's forward-looking statements. The risks
and uncertainties that may affect the operations, performance, developments and
results of the Company's business include the following: national and regional
economic conditions; pending and future legislation affecting the IT and
telecommunications industry; stability of foreign governments; market acceptance
of the Company's products and services; the Company's continued ability to
provide integrated communication solutions for customers in a dynamic industry;
and other competitive factors. Because these and other factors could affect the
Company's operating results, past financial performance should not necessarily
be considered as a reliable indicator of future performance, and investors
should not use historical trends to anticipate future period results.
Item 7A
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
Multiband is not subject to any material interest rate risk as any current
lending agreements are at a fixed rate of interest except for the notes payable
to Laurus Master Fund, Ltd., which is three percent over the prime interest
rate, and the note payable to the Sellers of Rainbow Satellite Group, LLC, which
is at prime.

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.

MULTIBAND CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
(fka VICOM, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES)
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.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Multiband
Corporation (MB) and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Corporate Technologies, USA,
Inc. (CTU), URON, Inc., Minnesota Digital, Inc. (MDU), Rainbow Satellite Group,
LLC (Rainbow) and Multiband, Inc. (Multiband) which provides voice, data and
video services to residential multi-dwelling units. In February 2003, the
Company formed a 50% owned subsidiary, Multiband USA, Inc. (MB USA) with Pace
Electronics, Inc. (PACE) a video wholesaler, and provides the same services as
Multiband). On January 1, 2004, the Company purchased the 50% PACE interest in
Multiband USA. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been
eliminated in consolidation.
On January 1, 2004, the Company merged Multiband into CTU.
Discontinued Operations
During the first quarter of 2005, the Company sold certain assets and
transferred certain liabilities related to its Multiband Business Services
(a/k/a CTU). The Company began discussions and efforts to sell these assets in
the fourth quarter of 2004. These assets met the requirements of 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 have 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) MB USA user charges to
timeshares, and 6) MDU earns revenue primarily through the activation of and
residual fees on video programming services.
Revenues from video and computer technology products, which are sold but not
installed, are recognized when delivered and the customer has accepted the terms
and has the ability to fulfill the terms. Product returns and customer discounts
are netted against revenues. This revenue has been included with discontinued
operations.
Customers contract for both the purchase and installation of voice and data
networking technology products and certain video technologies products on one
sales agreement, as installation of the product is essential to the
functionality of the product. Revenues are recognized when the products are
delivered and installed and the customer has accepted the terms and has the
ability to fulfill the terms. This revenue has been included with discontinued
operations.
Service revenues related to technology products including consulting, training
and support are recognized when the services are provided. Service revenues
accounted for less than 10% of total revenues for the years ended December 31,
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 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, including chargebacks.
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.
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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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
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:

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:
2004 2003 2002
------------ ------------ ------------
Loss attributable to common stockholders $(10,374,417) $ (4,613,693) $ (4,591,637)
Pro forma loss attributable to common shares $(10,984,354) $ (5,363,381) $ (4,915,649)
Basic and diluted loss attributable to
common shareholders:
As reported $ (.45) $ (0.29) $ (0.39)
Pro forma loss attributable to common shares $ (.47) $ (0.33) $ (0.42)
Stock-based compensation:
As reported $ 212,714 $ 447,481 $ 482,999
Pro forma $ 609,937 $ 749,688 $ 324,012
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. The Company's segments have similar
economic characteristics and are similar in the nature of the services provided,
type of customers, methods used to distribute the Company's services and
regulatory environment. Management believes that the Company meets the criteria
for aggregating its operating segments into a single reporting segment.
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
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 approximates fair value. The
carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts
payable, accrued liabilities, and short-term debt approximate fair value because
of the short maturity of these instruments. The fair value of capital lease
obligations, note payable-stockholder and long-term debt approximates the
carrying amounts based upon the Company's expected borrowing rate for debt with
similar remaining maturities and comparable risk.

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
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 finders 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.

===============
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.
In November 2004, the Company borrowed $2,166,667 from a group of accredited
institutional investors. The notes are convertible into shares of common stock
at a conversion rate of $1.00 per share through November 2007. The notes accrue
interest at the rate of 6% per annum, which interest is payable semi-annually in
cash or common stock at the Company's election. The proceeds of $2,166,667 were
allocated between the notes and the intrinsic value of the conversion option.
The resulting original issue discount and the beneficial conversion of the note
payable into common stock as defined in EITF 00-27 is being amortized over the
life of the note using the straight-line method, which approximates the interest
method. These notes are collateralized by certain assets and are subordinated.
NOTE 8 - Capital Lease Obligations
The Company has lease financing facilities for property, equipment and leasehold
improvements. Leases outstanding under these agreements bear interest at an
average rate of 7.67% and expires through June 2009. The obligations are secured
by the property under lease. Total cost and accumulated amortization of the
leased equipment was $988,593 and $349,647 at December 31, 2004 and $428,749 and
$221,432 at December 31, 2003. Amortization expense related to these obligations
is included in depreciation expense.

Acquisition of Assets
Effective April 1, 2005, the Company purchased certain video assets (equipment
and video subscribers) from Ultravision, Inc. for $275,000.
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 has reserved an allowance of $300,000 against
this note receivable due to uncertainty of collectibility.
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 space 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.

Item 9A.
Controls and Procedures.
The Company, under the supervision and with the participation of its
management, including the Chief Executive Officer, evaluated the effectiveness
of the design and operation of the Company's "disclosure controls and
procedures" (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (the Exchange Act)) as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer concluded that the
Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely making
known to him material information relating to the Company and the Company's
consolidated subsidiaries required to be disclosed in the Company's reports
filed or submitted under the Exchange Act. There has been no change in the
Company's internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended
December 31, 2004 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
Management is aware that there is a lack of segregation of duties due to
the small number of employees dealing with general administrative and financial
matters. However, management has decided that considering the employees involved
and the control procedures in place, risks associated with such lack of
segregation are insignificant and the potential benefits of adding employees to
clearly segregate duties do not justify the expenses associated with such
increases.

The Company's Audit committee consists of Frank Bennett, Jonathan Dodge
and Donald Miller. All three are considered audit committee financial experts
independent from managers. The Company's current audit committee charter has
been filed previously as exhibit 3.5. The audit committee is responsible for
engaging the audit firm and fees related to their services.
The policy of the Company's audit committee is to review and pre-approve
both audit and non-audit services to be provided by the independent auditors
(other than with de minimis exceptions permitted by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of
2002). This duty may be delegated to one or more designated members of the audit
committee with such approval reported to the committee at its next regularly
scheduled meeting. Approval of non-audit services shall be disclosed to
investors in periodic reports required by section 13(a) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. Approximately 95 % of the fees paid to Virchow Krause were
pre-approved by the audit committee.
No services in connection with appraisal or valuations services, fairness
opinions or contribution-in-kind reports were rendered by Virchow Krause.
Furthermore, no work of Virchow Krause with respect to its services rendered to
the Company was performed by anyone other than Virchow Krause.
