Item 1

Business

Multiband Corporation (the Company), is a Minnesota corporation formed in September 1975. The Company has two operating segments: 1) Home Service Provider (HSP), which primarily installs and maintains video services for residents of single family homes and 2) Multi-Dwelling Unit (MDU), which sells voice, data and video services to residents of multiple dwelling units. Both segments encompass a variety of different corporate entities.

The Company completed an initial public offering in June 1984. In November 1992, the Company became a non-reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In July 2000, the Company regained its reporting company status. In December 2000, the Company’s 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.

The Company’s website is located at: www.multibandusa.com.

From its inception until December 31, 1998, the Company operated as a telephone interconnect company only. Effective December 31, 1998, the Company 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, the Company, to expand its range of computer products and related services, purchased the stock of Ekman, Inc. d/b/a Corporate Technologies, and merged Ekman, Inc. into the newly formed surviving corporation, Corporate Technologies USA, Inc. (MBS). MBS provided voice, data and video systems and services to business and government. The MBS business segment was sold effective April 1, 2005. The Company’s MDU segment (formally known as MCS) began in February 2000. MDU provides voice, data and video services to multiple dwelling units, 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. (MNMDU), which made the Company the largest master service operator in MDU’s for DirecTV satellite television in the United States. During 2006 and 2007, the Company strategically sold certain assets at multiple dwelling properties where only video services were primarily deployed. The Company continues to operate properties where multiple services are deployed. To remain competitive, the Company intends to continue to own and operate properties at locations where multiple services can be deployed and manage properties where one or more services are deployed. Consistent with that strategy, from 2006-2008, the Company expanded its servicing of third party clients (other system operators) through its call center. At March 15, 2011, the Company had approximately 105,000 owned and managed subscriptions, with an additional 46,000 subscriptions supported by the call center.

During 2008, the Company became involved in the business of installing video services in single family homes by acquiring 51% of the outstanding stock of Multiband NC Incorporated (NC) (formerly Michigan Microtech, Incorporated (MMT a former subsidiary of Directech Holding Company Inc. (DTHC))), a fulfillment agent for a national satellite television company, DirecTV, which specializes in the providing of satellite TV to single family homes. This acquisition was followed up by the acquisition of an 80% interest in a group of companies which were the former operating subsidiaries of DTHC, (Multiband NE Incorporated (NE), Multiband SC Incorporated (SC), Multiband EC Incorporated (EC), Multiband DV Incorporated (DV) and Multiband Security Incorporated (Security)). The Company also purchased an additional 29% ownership interest in Multiband NC Incorporated, of which it previously owned 51%, effective on January 2, 2009. The remaining 20% of these operating entities were purchased in December 2009.

The Company’s rationale for acquiring the aforementioned operating entities is listed below.

1.	The operating entities are accretive to our business model as they have the:

a.	Same line of business (DirecTV)

b.	Ability to leverage systems and management

c.	Ability to leverage core competencies in support center, software, and engineering

d.	Ability to expand geographic presence with ample technician capacity

e.	Size, scale, and scope of combined business enterprise more in line with growth necessary to support our public entity

f.	Potential for accretive positive cash flow and capacity for net income.

2.	Also, new business opportunities may be integrated into an existing installation process which touches over 5,000 homes per day. Multiband Enterprise Manager software application is capable of modification to support “bundled billing” attributes resulting from new sales opportunity.

3.	Furthermore, the transaction produced a strong barrier to entry to other potential competitors which creates potential for longevity and exclusivity.

4.	Other reasons for the acquisition included:

a. Strong financial performance by DirecTV which provides security and continued growth potential for Multiband.

b. Strong DirecTV balance sheet and liquidity which provides comfort for continued, successful operations.

c. Multiband’s public company reporting status provides an excellent platform to support and motivate new human resource asset.

d. Multiband’s management is, we believe, capable of “rightsizing” operating expense structure of DTHC operating entities to provide increased cash flow and earning potential over a short period of time; and

e. Opportunity for significant shareholder appreciation when comparing industry valuation metrics to pre-existing Multiband market values.

This purchase was a significant event for the Company. The purchase materially increased the size and scope of the Company’s operations. The Company has now expanded its operations into 16 states with 32 field offices. The Company now employs approximately 2,800 people. Multiband is now the second largest independent DirecTV field services provider in the United States.

Home Service Provider (HSP Segment)

The Company, through its HSP segment, receives net cash payments for the installation and service of DirecTV video programming for residents of single family homes. These video subscribers are owned and billed by DirecTV. The HSP segment functions as a fulfillment arm for DirecTV. As a result, Multiband generally does not directly compete with other providers for DirecTV’s business. Although DirecTV competes with DISH, the other leading satellite television provider and incumbent providers of phone and telephone services for pay television customers, DirecTV has its own marketing and competitive programs of which the Company is merely an indirect and passive recipient.

Multi-Dwelling Unit (MDU Segment)

Since 2004, the Company, through its MDU segment, 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 18 million subscribers. DirecTV competes with the leading cable companies and with DISH, America's second largest provider of satellite television. The master service operator arrangement allows the Company to offer satellite television services to residents of multi-dwelling-units through a network of affiliated operators.

Since 2000, Multiband has also offered voice, data and video services directly to residents of the multi-dwelling unit (MDU) market. Our experience in this market suggests that property owners and managers are currently looking for a solution that will satisfy two market demands from customers. The first market demand from customers 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 service offering addresses these demands and provides the consumer several benefits, including:

· Lower Cost Per Service

· Blended Satellite and Cable Television Package

· Multiple Feature Local Phone Services (features such as call waiting, call forwarding and three-way calling)

· Better than Industry Average Response Times

· One Number for Billing and Service Needs

· One Bill for Local, Long Distance Cable Television and Internet

· “Instant On" Service Availability

In late 2005, the Company began to use its internal support center and billing platform to service third party clients.

In late 2006, DirecTV provided the Company with the right to bill DirecTV services directly to end users. The Company is providing such billing services to a certain number of customers.

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

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

Multiband Consumer Industry Analysis and Strategy

MDU offers video and, in some cases, data and voice to residents of Multiple-Dwelling Units primarily throughout the Midwest and the Southeast. Our primary competition in this market comes from the local incumbent providers of telephone and cable television services. The leading competitors in these services are the former Bell System Companies such as Verizon Communications (Verizon) and Qwest Communications International, Inc. (Qwest) and national cable companies such as Comcast Corporation (Comcast) and Time Warner. These regional and national rivals have significant resources and are strong competitors. Nonetheless, we believe as a largely unregulated entity, we can be competitive on both price and service.

Regarding video services, we believe we have a significant consumer benefit in that we are establishing private rather than public television systems, which allows us to deliver a package 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.

Regarding data services, the general concern among consumers is the quality of the connection and the speed of the download. We believe our design provides the highest broadband connection speeds currently available. The approach we 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 the Midwest and Southeast. 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 there are more than 65,000 properties in the United States which 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 rental properties are focusing on improving services and amenities 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 most of these owners or managers are not interested in being "in the technology business" and will use the services that we are offering. Various iterations of this package will allow the owners to share in the residual income stream from the subscriber base.

Number of Units/Customers

At March 15, 2011, the Company had approximately 105,000 owned and managed subscriptions, with an additional 46,000 subscribers supported by the support center.

Employees

As of March 15, 2011, Multiband Corporation employed 112 full-time employees, including 5 management employees, 36 finance personnel, 27 information technology employees, 11 employees in human resources, 13 in marketing and 20 employees in an operational support positions. HSP employed 2,900 full-time employees consisting of 93 management employees, 41 operational support personnel, 183 customer service employees, 2,485 technicians and 98 warehouse employees. As of that same date, MDU had 190 full-time employees, consisting of 14 in sales and marketing, 15 technicians, 151 in customer service and related support, 5 in management positions, 4 operational support personnel and 1 warehouse employee.

Item 1A

Risk Factors (in thousands)

Our business is subject to a number of risks discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus. The principal risks facing our business include, among others, our dependence on DirecTV, changes in technology, and economic conditions limiting the ability of DirecTV’s customers to purchase upgrades and installations. In addition, we have a history of inconsistent profitability, a significant working capital deficiency, a retained deficit, and significant long-term debt. There are also several risks relating to this offering and the ownership of our common stock. You should carefully consider these factors, as well as all of the other information set forth in this prospectus. See “Risk Factors.”

Risks Related to Our Business

General

Multiband, as noted earlier herein, 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 MDU 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. In 2004, the Company added its master system operator agreement and in 2008, its HSP segment.

The specific risk factors, as detailed below, should be analyzed in the context of the Company's evolving business model.

Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Multiband Corporation and Subsidiaries

The Company had a net income attributable to Multiband Corporation and subsidiaries of $14,694 for the year ended December 31, 2010, a net loss attributable to Multiband Corporation and subsidiaries of $9,650 for the year ended December 31, 2009 and a net income attributable to Multiband Corporation and subsidiaries of $945 for the year ended December 31, 2008. Included in our 2008 net income are amounts earned under certain contractual arrangements with DTHC prior to the date we acquired ownership of DTHC’s operating subsidiaries (see Note 2).

The effects of accumulated 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 continued profitability from operating activities, we may not be able to meet:

· our capital expenditure objectives;

· our debt service obligations; or

· our working capital needs.

Working Capital

The Company had a working capital deficit of $12,303 and $28,596 as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, primarily due to the acquisition of the former DTHC operating entities. The reduction in the working capital deficit between years was a result of the net income earned during 2010.

Long-lived Assets

We have a significant amount of long-lived assets. Should we in future periods experience a significant decline in profitability and/or should the market value for our long-lived assets decrease, some impairment to these assets could occur. If impairment occurs, it could materially and adversely affect our results of operations in those future periods.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Annually, the Company tests for impairment of its goodwill and intangible assets without a defined life. We tested for impairment of the HSP and MDU segments which had goodwill at December 31, 2010 using standard fair value measurement techniques. The Company recorded an impairment charge of $25 on the goodwill related to the US Install purchase as of December 31, 2010. The Company concluded there was no goodwill impairment as of December 31, 2009. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $50 on the goodwill related to the US Install purchase and impaired the remaining goodwill balance of $17 from a previous acquisition. Also, pursuant to the abandonment of a right of entry intangible asset, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $65 for the year ended December 31, 2008. However, should we in future periods experience a significant decline in profitability, or our stock price declines and remains depressed, and/or should the business climate for satellite providers deteriorate, impairment to our goodwill could occur. If impairment occurs, it could be materially adverse to our results of operations in those periods.

Group Health and Workers’ Compensation Insurance Coverage

The Company uses a combination of self-insurance and third-party carrier insurance with predetermined deductibles that cover certain insurable risks. The Company records liabilities for claims reported and claims that have been incurred but not reported, based on historical experience and industry data.

Insurance and claims accruals reflect the estimated cost for group health and workers’ compensation claims not covered by insurance. The insurance and claims accruals are recorded at the estimated ultimate payment amounts. Such insurance and claims accruals are based upon individual case estimates and estimates of incurred-but-not-reported losses using loss development factors based upon past experience and industry data.

During 2010, the Company is self-insured for workers compensation claims up to $250 plus administrative expenses, for each occurrence involving workers compensation claims since that date. During 2009, in certain states, the Company was self-insured for workers’ compensation liability claims up to $100, plus administrative expenses, for each occurrence involving workers’ compensation claims since February 1, 2009.

We use a combination of self-insurance and third-party carrier insurance with predetermined deductibles that cover certain insurable risks. We are self-insured for health insurance covering the range of liability up to $275 per claim where our management expects most claims to occur. If any liability claims are substantially in excess of coverage amounts, such claims are covered under premium-based policies issued by insurance companies to coverage levels that management considers adequate. If either we exceed our coverage amounts too often and our premiums rise, or if a high number of claims are made for which we are responsible (because they are below the deductible), our profitability and cash flow may be adversely affected.

Debt

The Company has related party debt of approximately $29,000 which will be due in January 2013. We will need to seek additional financing to pay this debt if we do not generate adequate cash flow from operations. Sources of additional financing, if needed in future, may include further debt financing or the sale of equity (including the issuance of preferred stock) or other securities. We cannot be sure that any additional sources of financing or new capital will be available to us, available on acceptable terms, or permitted by the terms of our current debt. In addition, if we sell additional equity to raise funds, all outstanding shares of common stock will be diluted.

Income Taxes

The Company has federal net operating losses of approximately $58,213 and state net operating losses of approximately $44,631 which, if not used, will expire from 2011-2029. To the extent these net operating losses are available; we intend to use them to reduce corporate income tax liabilities associated with our operations. Section 382 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code generally imposes an annual limitation on the amount of net operating loss carryforwards that might be used to offset taxable income when a corporation has undergone significant changes in stock ownership. During 2010, the Company performed an IRC Section 382 study and determined that a total of four ownership changes had occurred since 1999. As a result of these ownership changes, the Company’s ability to utilize its net operating losses is limited. Federal net operating losses are limited to a total of approximately $48,700, consisting of annual amounts of approximately $9,000 per year for each of the years 2010-2012, $3,700 in 2013 and $1,100 per year thereafter. State net operating losses are limited to a total of approximately $21,500. We believe that approximately $20,000 of federal net operating losses and $29,000 of state net operating losses will expire unused due to IRC Section 382 limitations. These limitations could be further restricted if additional ownership changes occur in future years. To the extent our use of net operating loss carryforwards are significantly limited, our income could be subject to corporate income tax earlier than it would be if we were able to use net operating loss carryforwards, which could result in lower profits.

Deregulation

Several regulatory and judicial proceedings have recently concluded, are underway or may soon be commenced that address issues affecting our 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.

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.

Uncertain Effects of the Acquisition

During 2009, the Company completed its acquisition of the former operating subsidiaries of DTHC (see Note 2). The DTHC operating entity business as merged into the Multiband business may not achieve the operating results and growth anticipated by management in structuring the transaction.

Multiband’s HSP operating segment is highly dependent on its strategic alliance with DirecTV, and a major alteration or termination of that alliance could adversely affect Multiband’s business

Our Home Service Provider (HSP) segment currently provides approximately 99% of our total revenues and these revenues are dependent on our relationship with DirecTV. Accordingly, we are highly dependent on our HSP agreement with DirecTV. The Company’s HSP agreement with DirecTV was renewed on October 1, 2010 and terminates September 30, 2014. The term of this agreement with DirecTV will automatically renew for additional one year periods unless either DirecTV or we give written notice of termination at least 90 days in advance of expiration of the then current term. The agreement can be terminated on 180 days’ notice by either party. DirecTV may also change the terms of their agreement with us, among other things, to change our service areas and/or pricing, both of which have occurred in the past. The terms of the HSP agreement also contain specific operational requirements that impact how we provide service to and interact with DirecTV customers, and which requirements directly affect how we budget, strategize and operate as a business. Some of these requirements include, but are not limited to: (a) required uniforms/appearance and tools for technicians; (b) limitations on advertising and signage utilized by us; (c) fleet specifications; (d) call center operations (response times, minimum hours of operation); (e) technician training and education standards; and (f) required hardware. Further, any adverse alteration or any termination of our HSP agreement with DirecTV would have a material adverse effect on our business. In addition, the number of DirecTV jobs that we completed in 2010 was lower than the number completed in 2009, and we are forecasting an even lower number of DIRECTV jobs in 2011. A significant decrease in the number of DIRECTV jobs in our HSP segment could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our HSP revenues could be negatively affected by reduced support from DirecTV

In addition, DirecTV conducts promotional and marketing activities on national, regional and local levels. Due to our substantial dependence on DirecTV, our revenues depend, in significant part, on (i) the overall reputation and success of DirecTV; (ii) the incentive and discount programs provided by DirecTV and its promotional and marketing efforts for its products and services; (iii) the goodwill associated with DirecTV trademarks; (iv) the introduction of new and innovative products by DirecTV; (v) the manufacture and delivery of competitively-priced, high quality equipment and parts by DirecTV in quantities sufficient to meet customers' requirements on a timely basis; (vi) the quality, consistency and management of the overall DirecTV system; and (vii) the ability of DirecTV to manage its risks and costs. If DirecTV does not provide, maintain or improve any of the foregoing, if DirecTV changes the terms of its incentive and discount programs, or if DirecTV were sold or reduced or ceased operations, there could be a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations even though alternate providers of satellite television services exist.

Multiband’s Multiple Dwelling Unit (MDU) business strategy is also highly dependent on its strategic alliance with DirecTV

In connection with our MDU business segment, we are operating under a prior Master System Operator (MSO) relationship with DirecTV. The initial term of the prior MSO agreement that we had with DirecTV expired in August 2008, and we are currently negotiating a longer term agreement. Similar to the terms of the HSP agreement, material terms of the prior MSO agreement regarding term, termination, pricing and service areas were subject to change, oftentimes in DirecTV’s discretion. Any adverse alteration or any termination of our current relationship with DirecTV with respect to our MDU segment could have a negative effect on our business.

Our MDU growth initiative may not be successful or profitable

We have developed a growth initiative for our MDU segment and since 2005, we have invested significant time, effort, and capital into developing our MDU infrastructure. Our intent is to work closely with DirecTV to substantially grow this segment of our business. While we have invested in this segment and intend to continue to do so, and while we believe DirecTV has made the MDU market a focus for its growth, there is no guarantee that we will be able to achieve success or profitability in this business segment, or that we will achieve a return on any additional investments that we make in this segment. If we are unable to achieve profitability in the MDU segment, it could have a negative effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We will require additional debt financing or will be limited to stock-funded acquisitions in order to complete any material strategic acquisitions

Multiband will require additional funding or will be limited to stock-funded acquisitions in order to complete any material strategic acquisitions. There is no assurance that additional financing will be available in the amounts or at the times required, or if it is, on terms acceptable or favorable to us. There is also no assurance that a target company would agree to a stock exchange or that our stock would not be diluted by such stock exchange. If we are unable to obtain additional financing when and if needed or to do a stock exchange, our ability to grow through acquisitions will be impaired.

Marketplace pressures could curtail our operations

We face competition from others who are competing for a share of the HSP and MDU markets, including other satellite companies, cable companies, telephone companies and other installers. Some of these companies have significantly greater assets and resources than we do. If we are unable to compete successfully with these companies, our market share could decrease, which decrease would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Changes in technology or consumer preference and demand could weaken Multiband’s competitiveness in the marketplace

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 our control. In addition, newer technologies, such as video-on-demand and delivery of programming content over the internet, are being developed, which could have a material adverse effect on our competitiveness in the marketplace if we are unable to adopt or deploy such technologies.

In addition, our business and operating results depend upon the overall appeal of DirecTV’s products and services to consumers. A decline in the popularity of existing products and services or the failure of new products and services to achieve and sustain market acceptance could result in reduced overall revenues, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Consumer preferences with respect to entertainment are continuously changing, are difficult to predict and can vary over time. There can be no assurance that any of DirecTV’s current products and services will continue to be popular for any significant period of time or that any new products and services will achieve commercial acceptance. As such, changes in consumer preferences may cause our revenues and net income to vary, possibly significantly, between comparable periods.

Multiband’s operations historically have fluctuated due to a number of seasonal factors. As a result, Multiband’s results of operations may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter

Variations in our revenues and operating results occur quarterly 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 our expenses are relatively fixed, a variation in the number of customer engagements or the timing of the initiation or completion of those engagements cause significant fluctuations in operating results from quarter to quarter. For example, our first quarter of 2010 revenues were 16% lower than third quarter of 2010 revenues.

Multiband’s operating results can be negatively affected by weather conditions

We perform a significant amount of our services outdoors. Adverse weather conditions may affect productivity in performing services or may temporarily prevent us from performing services for our customers. The affect of weather delays on projects that are under fixed price arrangements may be greater if we are unable to adjust the project schedule for such delays. A reduction in productivity in any given period or our inability to meet guaranteed schedules may adversely affect the profitability of our projects.

Nationwide economic conditions may limit consumers’ abilities to purchase our products and services in the future

The United States is still experiencing overall adverse economic conditions. While we believe this environment may actually assist us because consumers may stay home more for entertainment, if the country’s recession continues, there is no guarantee that consumers will continue to purchase DirecTV at a constant level or at all, and the need for our services may diminish, possibly materially. In fact the number of DirecTV jobs that we completed in 2010 was lower than the number completed in 2009, and we are forecasting an even lower number of DirecTV jobs in 2011. A significant decrease in the need for our services could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Multiband relies on key employees and needs skilled and trained personnel to conduct its operations. Excessive employee turnover could materially weaken its operations and/or reduce profitability

Our success depends on the continued employment of certain key personnel, including our executive officers. In particular, the loss of James L. Mandel, our Chief Executive Officer, or Steve M. Bell, our Chief Financial Officer and General Counsel, would harm our business and the employment relationships with both Mr. Mandel and Mr. Bell are terminable by us or each of them upon 90 days’ written notice for any reason. If we were unable to continue to attract and retain a sufficient number of qualified key personnel, including key executives, our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected. In addition, our success depends on our ability to attract, develop, motivate and retain highly skilled 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. We have traditionally experienced material technician churn, which has a significant impact on operations if we have an insufficient number of technicians at any given time to perform our backlog of jobs. If we continue to experience high levels of churn and are unable to attract, train and retain a sufficient number of qualified personnel, our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

Adverse results in legal proceedings could have a material adverse effect on our operations

We are subject to claims, regulatory processes and lawsuits that arise in the ordinary course of business. We accrue for such matters when a loss is considered probable and the amount of such loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Some of these claims if resolved or determined adversely may be material to our results of operations and may have an adverse effect on our cash position or financial results.

Rising fuel costs could impact Multiband’s operating margins

We cannot predict the price of the fuel needed to operate our fleet. Price fluctuations are common, and are outside of our control. These fluctuations are based on, among other things, political developments, supply and demand, and actions by oil and gas producers. Violence and political instability in oil producing countries can also impact prices. While we have taken and continue to take steps to monitor and improve the fuel efficiency of our fleet, we are most likely unable to adjust our pricing to account for fuel costs increases. Therefore, any increase in fuel costs could materially reduce our profitability and liquidity.

Collective bargaining agreement

The Company has approximately 27% of its labor force covered by collective bargaining agreements that expire within one year. The Company utilizes a contractor base for seasonality and work overflow but it cannot be certain that it could cover all jobs during a work outage. A reduction in productivity in any given period or our inability to meet guaranteed schedules may adversely affect our profitability.

Multiband’s inability to adequately protect the confidential aspects of its technology and the products and services it sells could materially weaken its operations

We rely on a combination of trade secret, copyright and trademark laws, license agreements, and contractual arrangements with certain key employees to protect our proprietary rights and the proprietary rights of third parties from whom we license intellectual property. There can be no assurance that the legal protections afforded to us or the steps that we take will be adequate to prevent misappropriation of our intellectual property. We also rely on agreements with owners of multi-dwelling units who grant us the right of access to the premises for a specific period whereby we are allowed to offer our voice, data, and video services to individual residents of the properties. If it was determined that we have infringed or are infringing on the intellectual property rights of others, we 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 our business, financial condition and results of operations. Also, there can be no assurance that we would be able to develop non-infringing technology or that we could obtain a license on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. Our success depends in part on our ability to protect the proprietary and confidential aspects of our technology and the products and services that we sell or utilize.

Risks Related to Our Financial Condition and Capital Requirements

Multiband has had a history of inconsistent profitability. Continued uncertain profitability may result in our curtailing or ceasing business operations

We had a net income of $14,694 for the year ended December 31, 2010, a net loss of $11,377 for the year ended December 31, 2009 and net income of $1,597 for the year ended December 31, 2008. We may never be consistently profitable.

The prolonged effects of generating losses without additional funding may restrict our ability to pursue our business strategy, including with respect to our goal of growth through acquisitions and the ease with which we could secure funding for our growth plan or any such transactions. 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 maintain profitability from operating activities, we may not be able to meet:

· our capital expenditure objectives;

· our debt service obligations; or

· our working capital needs.

Multiband has a significant working capital deficiency, which, if continued, may require additional financing or affect our viability as a going concern

We had a working capital deficit of $12,303 and $28,596 at December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, due to the acquisition of DirecTECH. While we have recently narrowed this working capital deficit, the deficit still poses a risk to our viability as a going concern and we may be required to seek additional financing to fund our operations. If we are unable to eliminate this deficiency or to secure sufficient financing, we may be forced to curtail or cease our operations.

Multiband has a significant amount of long-term debt due in January 2014. Failure to pay that debt when due could cause the secured creditor to foreclose upon Multiband’s assets, making it unlikely that Multiband could continue operating

We have related party long-term debt of approximately $29,449, which will be due in January 2014, and is secured by a lien against all our assets. If there is not adequate cash flow from operations, we will be forced to seek additional financing to repay this debt, which may be difficult to obtain due to the broad nature of the security interest held by the related party, DTHC. Sources of additional financing, if needed in the future, may include further debt financing or the sale of equity (including the issuance of preferred stock) or other securities. We cannot assure you that any additional sources of financing will be available to us, available on acceptable terms, or permitted by the terms of our current debt. In addition, if we sell additional equity to raise funds, all outstanding shares of our common stock will be diluted. In the event that we do not have the funds to repay this debt, or our other secured debt owed to Convergent, when due, our secured creditors could exercise their remedies under their security agreements, including foreclosing on our assets.

Multiband has significant long-lived assets that may not maintain their current value due to changes in market conditions. A write-down of those assets could adversely affect Multiband’s profitability in a material manner

Multiband has significant intangible assets, including goodwill. Lack of profitability and/or changes in market conditions may result in an impairment of these assets which could adversely affect Multiband’s profitability in a material manner

Annually, we test our goodwill and other intangible assets without a defined life for impairment. We tested for goodwill impairments in the HSP and MDU segments as of December 31, 2010, using standard fair value measurement techniques, and concluded there were no impairments. However, should we in future periods experience a significant decline in profitability, or our stock price declines and remains depressed, and/or should the business climate for satellite providers deteriorate, impairment to our goodwill could occur. If impairment occurs, it could be materially adverse to our results of operations in those periods. As of December 31, 2010, we had goodwill valued at $38,042 and other net intangible assets valued at $17,435, primarily related to the purchase of certain operating subsidiaries of DTHC. In 2010, the Company recorded an impairment of $25 related to the US Install goodwill (see Note 2). As of December 31, 2010, we had not noted any other indications of impairment related to goodwill or other intangible assets but there is no assurance that impairment charges will not be required in future periods.

Excessive insurance claims could have a material adverse impact on Multiband’s future profitability

Multiband is limited and may be unable to use certain net operating loss carryforwards

As of December 31, 2010, we had federal and state net operating losses of approximately $58,213 and $44,631, respectively, which, if not used, will expire from 2011-2029. Changes in the stock ownership of the Company have placed limitations on the use of these net operating loss carryforwards (NOLs). During 2010, the Company performed an IRC Section 382 study and determined that a total of four ownership changes had occurred since 1999. As a result of these ownership changes, the Company’s ability to utilize its net operating losses is limited. Federal net operating losses are limited to a total of approximately $48,700, consisting of annual amounts of approximately $9,000 per year for each of the years 2010-2012, $3,700 in 2013 and $1,100 per year thereafter. State net operating losses are limited to a total of approximately $21,500. We believe that approximately $20,000 of federal net operating losses and $29,000 of state net operating losses will expire unused due to IRC Section 382 limitations. These limitations could be further restricted if additional ownership changes occur in future years. The amount of the deferred tax asset not expected to be realized is reported net of a valuation allowance.

We incur significant costs as a result of operating as a public company, and our management is required to devote substantial time to new compliance initiatives

As a public company, we incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, as well as rules subsequently implemented by the SEC and NASDAQ have imposed various requirements on public companies, including establishment and maintenance of effective disclosure and financial controls and changes in corporate governance practices. Our management and other personnel devote a substantial amount of time to these compliance initiatives. Moreover, these rules and regulations result in increased legal and financial compliance costs and make some activities more time-consuming and costly.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires, among other things, that we maintain effective internal controls for financial reporting and disclosure. In particular, we are required to perform system and process evaluation and testing of our internal controls over financial reporting to allow management to report on the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Our testing may reveal deficiencies in our internal controls over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses. We have incurred and continue to expect to incur significant expense and devote substantial management effort toward ensuring compliance with Section 404. Moreover, if we do not comply with the requirements of Section 404, or if we identify deficiencies in our internal controls that are deemed to be material weaknesses, the market price of our common stock could decline, and we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by NASDAQ, the SEC or other regulatory authorities, which would entail expenditure of additional financial and management resources.

Risks of Ownership of Our Common Stock

An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following risk factors and all the other information contained in this prospectus before you decide to buy our common stock. If any of the following risks related to our business were to occur, our business, financial condition or operating results could be materially and adversely affected. The market price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks and uncertainties and you may lose part or all of your investment.

The trading price of our common stock has been and is likely to continue to be volatile

The stock market has experienced extreme volatility, and this volatility has often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. Prices for our common stock are 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. In addition, although our common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market, our common stock has experienced low trading volume. Limited trading volume subjects our common stock to greater price volatility and may make it difficult for you to sell your shares at a price that is attractive to you.

Future sales of our common stock, including by our existing shareholders, could cause our stock price to decline

If our shareholders, including any existing shareholders, sell substantial amounts of our common stock (whether currently held or acquired upon the exercise of options or warrants or other convertible securities) in the public market, the market price of our common stock could decrease significantly. In the past, we believe certain institutional investors have sold significant numbers of shares of our common stock. The perception in the public market that our shareholders might sell shares of our common stock could also depress the market price of our common stock

Multiband may not continue to have a national market for trading of its stock

There is no assurance that our common stock will continue to trade on the NASDAQ Capital Market or other national stock exchange due to ongoing listing criteria for such exchanges. For example, in the past, we have temporarily fallen below required NASDAQ shareholder equity levels. If we are unable to stay in compliance with applicable listing criteria, it may be more difficult for you to trade your shares or to sell your shares at a price that is attractive to you.

You may not be able to resell your shares at or above the price you paid for your shares

You may not be able to sell our common stock at prices equal to or greater than the price you paid in this offering. The stock markets have been extremely volatile. The risks related to Multiband discussed in this “Risk Factors” section, as well as the public’s reaction to our public announcements, changes in research analysts’ recommendations and decreases in market valuations of similar companies, could cause the market price of our common stock to decrease significantly from the price paid by investors in this offering. Further, the price of our common stock could fluctuate based upon factors that have little or nothing to do with us, and these fluctuations could materially reduce our stock price.

In addition, securities class action litigation often has been initiated when a company’s stock price has fallen below the company’s public offering price soon after the offering closes or following a period of volatility in the market price of the company’s securities. If class action litigation is initiated against us, we would incur substantial costs, and our management’s attention would be diverted from our operations. All of these factors could cause the market price of our stock to decline, and you could lose some or all of your investment.

Multiband can issue shares of preferred stock without shareholder approval, which could adversely affect the rights of common shareholders

Our charter documents permit us to establish the rights, privileges, preferences and restrictions, including voting rights, of future series of our preferred stock and to issue such stock without approval from our shareholders. The rights of holders of our common stock may suffer as a result of the rights granted to holders of preferred stock that may be issued in the future. In addition, we could issue preferred stock to prevent a change in control of our company, depriving common shareholders of an opportunity to sell their stock at a price in excess of the prevailing market price.

Unresolved Staff Comments

We have not received any written comments that were issued more than 180 days before December 31, 2010, the end of the fiscal year covered by this report, from the SEC staff regarding our periodic or current reports under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 that remain unresolved. In October 2010, the Company did receive written comments related to a proposed filing on Form S-1. As of this writing, those comments remain unresolved.

Item 2

Properties (in thousands)

Multiband and its subsidiaries lease principal offices located at 9449 Science Center Drive, New Hope, Minnesota 55428 and 2000 44th Street SW, Fargo, ND 58103 . We have no foreign operations. The New Hope office lease expires in 2013 and covers approximately 47 square feet. The New Hope base rent ranges from $23 to $25 per month. The Fargo office lease is made up of four separate leases expiring in 2011, 2013, 2014 and 2017 and covers approximately 18 square feet. The Fargo total base rent is $18 per month. Our HSP principal office is located in at 801 East Industrial Drive, Mount Pleasant, MI. This lease expires in 2013 and covers approximately 10 square feet with base rent of $3 per month. All leases have provisions that call for the tenants to pay net operating expenses, including property taxes, related to the facilities. All offices have office, warehouse and training facilities. In addition, the Company leases warehouses in its various markets of operation to facilitate storage of inventory and technician interface. These warehouses have lease terms ranging from month to month to six years in duration with lease terms expiring through 2015. The base rents at these facilities range from $1 to $8 per month. The Company considers its current facilities adequate for its current needs and believes that suitable additional space would be available as needed.

Item 3

Legal proceedings (in thousands)

The Company is subject to claims, regulatory processes and lawsuits that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues for such matters when a loss is considered probable and the amount of such loss, or a range of loss, can be reasonably estimated. The Company’s defense costs are expensed as incurred. The Company has recorded $3,098 and $9,299 of accrued liabilities as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, for claims and known and potential settlements and legal fees associated with existing litigation.

The majority of the accrual as of December 31, 2009 related to claims for back overtime wages alleged in a number of cases filed between 2006 to 2008 entitled Lachiev v. JBM (S.D. Ohio); Davis v. JBM (S.D. Ohio); Gruchy v. DirecTech Northeast (D. Mass); Stephen v. Michigan Microtech (E.D. Mich); and In re DirecTECH Southwest, Inc. (E.D. La). Effective December 31, 2009, the Company settled in principal all of these claims with the exception of Gruchy v. DirecTech Northeast.. While the Company and its predecessors denied the allegations underlying the lawsuits, it agreed to a settlement to avoid significant legal fees, the uncertainty of a jury trial, and other expenses and management time that would have to be devoted to protracted litigation. The Company recorded the settlement of $6,729, net of imputed interest of $575 and including administration fees and estimated payroll taxes (see Note 2). The aforementioned settlement was being paid in equal installments of $291 until December 2010 when the majority of the balance was paid off. The remaining balance of the settlement as of December 31, 2010 is $355, which we expect to pay in 2011. In December 2010, the Company settled the Gruchy case in principle for approximately $500, which will be paid during 2011.

In connection with the purchase of the operating subsidiaries of DTHC, the Company has the right to offset a portion of certain claims against the note to DTHC. In relation to the settlement noted above, the Company offset $156 and $3,904 during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Company has recorded a receivable of $352 and $1,011 as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, which represents an estimate of the amount that will be recovered from DTHC including legal fees for the remaining litigation.

In December 2009, the US Department of Labor (DOL) sued various individuals that are either shareholders, directors, trustees and/or advisors to DirecTECH Holding Company (DTHC) and its Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). Multiband Corporation was not named in this complaint. Various defendants in this matter have made requests to Multiband for advancement or reimbursement of legal fees to defend the case. Two of those Defendants, Robert Eddy and Woody Bilyeu, have filed suit against DTHC, Multiband and certain Multiband operating subsidiaries for reimbursement of said fees. In an ancillary count, Bilyeu has also filed suit seeking acceleration of his promissory note with DTHC which totals approximately $9,400 as of this writing. The basis for these reimbursement requests are certain corporate indemnification agreements that were entered into by the former DTHC operating subsidiaries and Multiband itself. To date, Multiband has denied all requests for indemnification of legal fees in this matter for, in part, the following reasons: 1) Similar indemnification agreements as the ones in question here were declared illegal under Federal law by a California federal appeals court; 2) The Company believes the primary remedy the DOL is seeking from the defendants is one of “disgorgement” from the individual DTHC shareholders; 3) Multiband has no obligation to indemnify DTHC individual shareholder conduct. Notwithstanding the above, the outcome of the matter is uncertain at present and Multiband cannot definitively predict based on the current facts known to it, whether it ultimately will have any material expense in the matter.

Additionally, the Company is subject to pending claims, regulatory processes and lawsuits for which losses are not probable and amounts cannot be reasonably estimated. Those losses could ultimately be material to the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

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 Capital 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, 2010 and December 31, 2009, and, as provided by NASDAQ.

Quarter Ended	High Bid		Low Bid
December 31, 2010	$	3.10	$	1.66
September 30, 2010	$	2.03	$	1.33
June 30, 2010	$	2.35	$	1.36
March 31, 2010	$	2.39	$	1.84
December 31, 2009	$	2.66	$	1.67
September 30, 2009	$	2.50	$	1.81
June 30, 2009	$	3.70	$	1.85
March 31, 2009	$	2.24	$	1.15

As of March 15, 2011, Multiband had 918 shareholders of record of its common stock and 10,479,859 shares of common stock outstanding. Because many of our shares of common stock are held by brokers and other institutions on behalf of shareholders, we are unable to estimate the total number of shareholders represented by these record holders. As of that date, five shareholders held a total of 14,171 of Class A Preferred, two shareholders held a total of 112,000 shares of Class C Preferred, two shareholders held a total of 195,000 shares of Class E Preferred, one shareholder held a total of 150,000 shares of Class F Preferred, one shareholders held a total of 10,000 shares of Class G Preferred, three shareholders held a total of 1.15 shares of Class H Preferred and one shareholder held a total of 100 shares of Class J Preferred.

Common Stock

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

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

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

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

Warrants to purchase shares of the Company's common stock were given with the issuance of Class A, Class B, Class D, Class G and Class H preferred stock and were valued at fair value using the Black Scholes pricing model.

(1)	All preferred stock is non-voting.

(2)	Preferred shares are convertible at any time. Figures are adjusted for a 1-for-5 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, effective August 7, 2007.

(3)	Dividends payable in common stock at a fixed rate of $1.00 per share.

(4)	Redeemable at $10.50 per share in accordance with the terms and conditions of the preferred stock certificate of designation.

(5)	Redeemable at $10.00 per share whenever the Company’s common stock price exceeds certain defined criteria and other terms and conditions of the preferred stock certificate of designation.

(6)	Redeemable at $100,000 per share in accordance with the terms and conditions of the preferred stock certificate of designation.

(7)	Redeemable at option of holder in accordance with the terms and conditions of the preferred stock certificate of designation.

(8)	Dividends are payable in cash or common stock at the Company’s sole discretion at a fixed rate of $2.00 per share; provided that the total number of shares that can be paid in such dividends may not exceed 750,000 shares.

The single Class F stockholder, at its sole discretion pursuant to a put option, can force the Company to redeem up to 50,000 Class F Preferred Shares (the equivalent of $500 worth). This has been redeemed already. Class H shareholders have the right to convert all or a portion of preferred shares upon the occurrence of a major transaction or triggering event as defined in the agreement and Multiband has the sole option to pay the redemption price in cash or shares of the Company’s common stock. Class J shares have forced redemption rights at par, upon the occurrence of a major transaction or triggering event as defined in the agreement. Classes G and J have no redemption “call” price. Upon Multiband's call for redemption, the holders of the preferred stock called for redemption will have the option to convert each share of preferred stock into shares of common stock until the close of business on the date fixed for redemption, unless extended by Multiband in its sole discretion. Preferred stock not converted would be redeemed.

Our ability to issue preferred stock, or rights to purchase such shares, could discourage an unsolicited acquisition proposal. For example, we could impede a business combination by issuing a series of preferred stock containing, among other rights and preferences, class voting rights that would enable the holders of such preferred stock to block a business combination transaction. Alternatively, we could facilitate a business combination transaction by issuing a series of preferred stock having sufficient voting rights to provide a required percentage vote of the shareholders. Additionally, under certain circumstances, our issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power of the holders of our common stock. Although our board of directors is required to make any determination to issue any preferred stock based on its judgment as to the best interests of our shareholders, our board of directors could act in a manner that would discourage an acquisition attempt or other transaction that some, or a majority, of our shareholders might believe to be in their best interests or in which shareholders might receive a premium for their stock over prevailing market prices of such stock. Our board of directors does not at present intend to seek stockholder approval prior to any issuance of currently authorized stock, unless otherwise required by law or applicable stock exchange requirements.

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 Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.

Years Ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009

Results of Operations (in thousands)

The following table sets forth certain items.

Revenues

Total revenues from continuing operations decreased 1.3% from $268,994 in 2009 to $265,594 in 2010. HSP segment had revenues of $242,127 in 2010 and $243,807 in 2009, a decrease of 1.0%. This decrease is due to a reduction in DirecTV work order volume of approximately 8.9% partially offset by an increase in earned incentive revenue of approximately $6,000. The Company expects HSP segment revenues will remain consistent in 2011. The MDU segment had revenues of $23,467 in 2010 and $25,187 in 2009, at a decrease of 6.8%. This decrease is primarily due to reduced DTV upgrade subsidies of approximately $1,950 and reduced DTV MDU subscriber activations as a result of more stringent DTV credit standards. The Company believes it can ultimately increase revenues by selling its support center services to its network of system operators and by providing ancillary programs for voice and data services to that same network. However, due to the aforementioned stringent DirecTV credit standards, reduced DTV MDU subscriber activations and anticipated weakness in the economy, the Company expects MDU revenues to be relatively constant in 2011.

Costs of Products and Services (exclusive of depreciation and amortization)

Total costs of products and services were $186,294 in 2010 compared to $207,533 in 2009, a decrease of 10.2%. This reduction is attributable to improved inventory controls which has decreased cost of products and services approximately $11,766 for the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to the same period last year, as well as a reduction in damage claims of $1,145, fleet costs of $2,045, and technician payroll of $1,905. Cost of products and services for the year ended December 31, 2010, were $171,310 for the HSP segment compared to the $190,818 for the year ended December 31, 2009, a 10.2% decrease. This decrease is the result of reduced costs due to the decrease in work order volume and improvements in inventory controls. During 2011, the Company expects HSP cost of products and services to increase relative to revenue as the Company, pursuant to anticipated employee turnover, continues to hire and train new technicians to service expected job volumes. Cost of products and services for the year ended December 31, 2010 were $14,984 for the MDU segment, compared to $16,715 in the prior year, a 10.4% decrease. These decrease is a result of fewer upgrade subsidy payments to dealers and fewer subscriber activations. In 2011, the Company expects MDU cost of products and services to be relatively constant in relation to revenue.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 1.0% to $57,173 in 2010, compared to $57,778 in 2009. Selling, general and administrative expenses were, as a percentage of revenues, 21.5% for 2010 and 2009, respectively. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue is comparable primarily due to decreased insurance and telephone expense of approximately $3,400 offsetting increases in wage and legal expense. In 2010, the Company renegotiated several contracts with telephone providers as well as changed its mobile phone policies. It also changed its workers compensation policy. The Company is self-insured for workers compensation claims up to $250 plus administrative expenses, for each occurrence involving workers compensation claims since the beginning of 2010. The Company anticipates that during 2011, selling, general and administrative expenses will remain consistent as a percentage of overall revenues.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased 23.9% to $8,298 for the year ended December 31, 2010, as compared to $10,906 for the year ended December 31, 2009. Effective October 1, 2010, the Company signed a new HSP contract with DirecTV (see Note 15). Due to the new contract, the amortization period of the DirecTV contract-related intangibles was extended an additional 17 months to September 30, 2015, bringing the amortization period to 77 months. During 2011, depreciation and amortization expense is expected to decrease slightly due to certain assets becoming fully amortized and the extension of the aforementioned amortization period.

Income (Loss) from Operations

The Company, in 2010, earned an income from operations for its combined operating business segments of $13,669 compared to incurring a loss from operations of $7,223 during 2009. The HSP segment for the year ended December 31, 2010 had an income from operations of $20,737, compared to a loss from operations of $2,397 for the year ended December 31, 2009. This improvement is primarily due to increased incentive revenue, improved inventory control and reduced technician training expense. The HSP segment is expected to maintain its profitability through 2011. The MDU segment incurred a loss from operations of $2,338 in 2010 compared to a loss from operations of $1,038 in 2009 primarily due to reduced DTV subsidies and reduced DTV MDU subscriber activations due to more stringent DirecTV credit standards. The Company plans to mitigate its loss in the MDU segment in future periods by growing its subscriber base at existing properties since the on-going selling, general and administrative expenses to service those subscribers is more fixed than variable. The Multiband Corporation segment, which has no revenues, showed a loss from operations of $4,730 in 2010 compared to a loss of $3,788 for the same period last year. The MBCorp segment loss is expected to continue in future periods as corporate overhead is expected to remain consistent with current levels.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $4,202 for 2010 versus $4,104 for 2009. Imputed interest discount was $0 and $35 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Noncontrolling Interest

The noncontrolling interest in subsidiaries on December 31, 2010 and 2009, was $0, respectively, after the Company purchased the remaining 20% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of all of the DTHC (DirecTECH) operating subsidiaries and reclassified $5,996 of noncontrolling interest to Multiband’s controlling interest on December 17, 2009. The net loss attributable to the noncontrolling interest in subsidiaries for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $0 and $1,727, respectively.

Income taxes

We have recorded an income tax benefit of $5,116 for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to income tax expense of $406 for the year ended December 31, 2009. The Company regularly assesses the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income. The Company considers future taxable income and ongoing tax planning strategies then records a valuation allowance to reduce the carrying value of the net deferred tax assets for amounts that are unable to be realized. Based on management’s assessment of all available evidence, including previous years’ income, estimates of future profitability and the overall prospects of our business, the Company determined that the Company will be able to realize a portion of our deferred tax assets in the future, and as a result recorded a $5,116 income tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2010 which includes a $12,400 release of the valuation allowance. Based on existing contracts, the Company used a discounted projection of revenue and expenses, over the next five years, which approximates the remaining life of our HSP contract with DIRECTV including the one year renewal term, to determine the level of existing net operating loss carryforward we will be able to offset against taxable income in that period. The Company will continue to assess the potential realization of our deferred tax assets on an annual basis, or on an interim basis if circumstances warrant. If the Company’s actual results and updated projections vary significantly from the projections used as a basis for this determination, the Company may need to increase or decrease the valuation allowance against our gross deferred tax assets. The Company would adjust its valuation allowance in the period the determination was made.

The Company has federal net operating losses of approximately $58,213 and state net operating losses of approximately $44,631, which, if not used, will expire from 2011-2029. Changes in the stock ownership of the Company have placed limitations on the use of these net operating loss carryforwards (NOLs). The Company has performed an IRC Section 382 study and determined that a total of four ownership changes had occurred since 1999. As a result of these ownership changes, the Company’s ability to utilize its net operating losses is limited. Federal net operating losses are limited to a total of approximately $48,700, consisting of annual amounts of approximately $9,000 per year for each of the years 2010-2012, $3,700 in 2013 and $1,100 per year thereafter. State net operating losses are limited to a total of approximately $21,500. We believe that approximately $20,000 of federal net operating losses and $29,000 of state net operating losses will expire unused due to IRC Section 382 limitations. These limitations could be further restricted if additional ownership changes occur in future years. The amount of the deferred tax asset not expected to be realized is reported net of a valuation allowance.

Net Income (Loss)

The Company earned a net income of $14,694 in 2010. The Company incurred a net loss of $11,377 in 2009.

Revenues

Total revenues from continuing operations increased 525.8% from $42,986 in 2008 to $268,994 in 2009. HSP segment had revenues of $243,807 in 2009 and $23,696 in 2008, an increase of 928.9%. This overall and HSP segment increase in revenues is due to the purchase of the former DirecTECH operating entities. Multiband initially acquired 51% of NC on March 1, 2008, achieved 80% ownership of all the operating entities on January 2, 2009 and purchased the remaining 20% of those entities in December 2009 (see Note 2). The MDU segment had revenues of $25,187 in 2009 and $19,290 in 2008, at an increase of 30.6%. This overall increase of approximately $5,897 in the MDU segment is primarily due to a larger subscriber base, and increased activity from the call center. The Company believes it can ultimately increase revenues by selling its support center services to its network of system operators and by providing ancillary programs for voice and data services to that same network.

Costs of Products and Services (exclusive of depreciation and amortization)

Total costs of products and services were $207,533 in 2009 compared to $28,426 in 2008. Overall cost of products and services increased due to the purchase of 80% of the former DirecTECH operating entities in January 2009. The remaining 20% of these entities were purchased in December 2009 (see Note 2). Cost of products and services for the year ended December 31, 2009, were $190,818 for the HSP segment (initially acquired March 1, 2008 and significantly increased in January 2, 2009 with the purchase of DTHC operating entities), compared to the $16,261 for the ten months ended December 31, 2008, a 1073.5% increase. This increase is due to the purchase of the former DirecTECH operating entities (see Note 2). Cost of products and services for the year ended December 31, 2009 were $16,715 for the MDU segment, compared to $12,165 in the prior year, a 37.4% increase. The increase in cost of products and services in the MDU segment is primarily related to the purchase of MBMDU, one of the former DirecTECH operating entities. The increase in costs is also related to the increase in revenue generated by the system operators due to a change in revenue mix and certain commission payments.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense

Selling, general and administrative expenses from continuing operations increased 450.3% to $57,778 in 2009, compared to $10,500 in 2008 due primarily to the acquisition of the former DirecTECH operating entities in 2009. Selling, general and administrative expenses were, as a percentage of revenues, 21.5% for 2009 and 24.4% for 2008. This percentage decrease is primarily due to a significant increase in revenues with proportionately less increases in payroll and administrative expenses. Without the Multiband Corp segment which recorded in 2008, $1,285 of reimbursed payroll expenses for management consulting to DTHC, the decline in selling, general and administrative expenses would have been greater. The Company’s management consulting agreement with DTHC ended on January 2, 2009 as a result of the acquisition of the majority ownership of former operating subsidiaries of DTHC (see Note 2).

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense increased 260.5% to $10,906 for the year ended December 31, 2009, as compared to $3,025 for the year ended December 31, 2008. This increase in depreciation and amortization is largely due to the amortization of intangibles related to the DirecTECH purchase (see Note 2).

Income (Loss) from Operations

The Company, in 2009, incurred a loss from operations for its combined operating business segments of $7,223 compared to an income of $903 during 2008. The HSP segment for the year ended December 31, 2009 had a loss from operations of $2,397, compared income from operations of $2,335 for the ten months ended December 31, 2008. The HSP segment is expected to maintain its profitability by reaching incentive goals and continued improvement in job mix (i.e. more installation work orders versus service calls which yield a higher margin). The MDU segment incurred a loss from operations of $1,038 in 2009 compared to profits of $1,511 in 2008. The Company expects to mitigate its future losses in the MDU segment due to an expected increased in future subscriber activity at maturing properties and better control of administrative costs. The Multiband Corporation segment, which has no revenues, showed a loss from operations of $3,788 in 2009 compared to a loss of $2,943 for the same period last year. In 2008, the Multiband Corporation segment loss was reduced as a result of its management agreement with DTHC. This agreement resulted in $1,285 of management consulting income as well as a management performance bonus of $2,366. This agreement ended on January 2, 2009 as a result of the acquisition of the majority ownership of former operating subsidiaries of DTHC (see Note 2).

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $4,104 for 2009 versus $657 for 2008, primarily due to an increase in interest expense incurred on the debt issued for the purchase of DirecTECH (see Note 3). Imputed interest discount was $35 and $282 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Management consulting income

During the year ended December 31, 2008, Multiband recorded a performance bonus as part of the management consulting agreement with DTHC of $2,366 which was paid via reduction of the debt incurred in the acquisition of NC (see Note 2 and 16). The Company recorded this consulting income as part of other income and expense on the statement of operations because the income does not constitute the entity’s ongoing major or central operations. The consulting income was not a reimbursement of direct expenses. In 2009, due to the acquisition of majority ownership of former subsidiaries of DTHC, the Company’s consulting agreement with DTHC was terminated and no income was earned during that comparable year. This income is part of the Multiband Corp. business segment.

Noncontrolling Interest

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted new accounting guidance related to accounting for noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries (see Note 2). This resulted in the reclassification of minority interest of $3,471 at December 31, 2008 related to the 51% ownership of NC from the mezzanine section of the balance sheet to the noncontrolling interest in the equity section of the balance sheet. As of January 2, 2009, Multiband purchased an additional 29% of the outstanding stock of NC. $2,054 of noncontrolling interest was transferred to Multiband’s controlling interest related to this acquisition, leaving $1,417 as the remaining value of the noncontrolling interest. In addition, Multiband purchased 80% of the outstanding stock of EC, NE, SC, DV, Security and MBMDU (see Note 2). The Company recorded $6,306 of noncontrolling interest related to this acquisition. The net loss attributable to the noncontrolling interest in subsidiaries for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $1,727. On December 17, 2009, the Company purchased the remaining 20% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of all of the DTHC operating subsidiaries (DirecTECH) and reclassified $5,996 of noncontrolling interest to Multiband’s controlling interest.

Income taxes

In 2009, the Federal income tax return of Multiband Corporation will include the former subsidiaries of DirecTech Holding Company which were acquired by the Company. The state tax expense reported is due to some of the subsidiaries having taxable income in states where the state requires filing separate company income tax returns instead of filing on a consolidated basis with members of the consolidated group. Other state tax expense is associated with the tax liability being calculated off of gross receipts, capital, or some other non-income method of computation. In 2008, for federal income tax purposes, NC was not included in the consolidated tax return of the Company due to less than 80% of ownership. Components of income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2008 relates to taxable income from the HSP segment and $45 of alternative minimum tax (AMT) in the Multiband Corp. segment: Due to the Company’s purchase of 51% of NC’s stock, effective March 1, 2008, NC did not file consolidated tax returns in 2008 with its former parent DTHC but filed as a single entity as it no longer met the 80% ownership required for tax consolidation. Effective with the additional stock purchased in 2009, NC expects to be able to utilize the tax loss carryforwards of Multiband Corporation. For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company has recorded a provision for income tax of $406 and $1,132, respectively, which consisted primarily of provisions for state income taxes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources (in thousands)

Year Ended December 31, 2010

During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded a net income of $14,694 and a net loss of $11,377, respectively. Net cash provided by operations in 2010 was $11,745 as compared to net cash used by operations in 2009 of $3,924. Principal payments on current long-term debt, short-term debt, short-term debt to a related party and capital lease obligations over the next 12 months are expected to total $1,153.

In May 2009, the Company paid off its then existing loan with Convergent Capital Partners I, L.P., and entered into a new $5,000 loan facility with a different lender due in December 2012. That new facility has a rolling quarterly positive EBITDA covenant which the Company was in compliance with as of December 31, 2010.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $1,204 at December 31, 2010 versus $2,240 at December 31, 2009. Working capital deficit at December 31, 2010 was $12,303 as compared to $28,596 at December 31, 2009 primarily due to the positive effect of net income. Net cash used by investing activities totaled $1,341 for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to $3,452 for the year ended December 31, 2009, related to property and equipment acquisitions.

In 2011, the Company intends to focus on maintaining profitability in its HSP business segment. With regards to its MDU business segment, the Company, in 2011, believes it can modestly grow both owned and managed subscriber revenues through increased marketing and customer penetrations of previously built out properties. The Company believes it can increase managed subscriber revenues by selling its support center services to its network of system operators and by providing ancillary programs for voice and data services to that same network.

The Company used $1,304 for capital expenditures during 2010, as compared to $2,937 in 2009. Capital expenditures consisted of property build-outs and equipment acquired for internal use. This decrease was related to a reduced amount of company funded build outs to MDU properties during 2010. In 2011, the Company estimates that it will have approximately $300 of additional capital expenditures which the Company intends to fund through leasing and/or cash on hand.

Management anticipates that the impact of the actions listed below will generate sufficient cash flows to pay current liabilities, long-term debt and capital and operating lease obligations and fund the Company's operations for the next twelve months:

1.	Maintain continued profitability in the Company’s HSP segment.

2.	Evaluate factors such as anticipated usage and inventory turnover to maintain optimal inventory levels.

3.	Obtain senior debt financing with extended terms to refinance the Company’s note payable to DirecTECH Holding Company, Inc., which matures on January 1, 2013.

4.	Expand call center support with sales of call center services to both existing and future system operators and to buyers of the Company’s video subscribers.

5.	Solicit additional equity investment in the Company by issuing either preferred or common stock.

6.	Effective tax planning and utilization of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards to realize maximum tax savings.

On August 3, 2010, the Company signed a $10,000 purchase agreement to sell shares of the Company’s common stock to Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (LPC), an Illinois limited liability company. If declared effective by the SEC, the Company would use any proceeds from this agreement for working capital to support current operations and for other general corporate purposes; which may involve expansion of those operations and/or reduction of existing debt. We also entered into a registration rights agreement with LPC whereby we agreed to file a registration statement related to the transaction with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) covering the shares that have been issued or may be issued to LPC under the purchase agreement. After the SEC has declared effective the registration statement related to the transaction, we have the right, in our sole discretion, over a 25-month period to sell our shares of common stock to LPC in amounts up to $500 per sale, depending on certain conditions as set forth in the purchase agreement, up to the aggregate commitment of $10,000 (see Note 15). As of this writing, the registration statement has not been declared effective but is pending under SEC review.

The Company, as of December 31, 2010, needs to continue to improve its working capital ratio over the next few quarters to adequately manage the size of its expanded operations. Since the Company acquired significant assets in its purchase of 100% of the outstanding stock of the former DTHC operating entities, Multiband believes it has the capacity to leverage certain of those assets. Management believes that through a combination of leveraging assets, its cash on hand, greater expense control, recent positive operating income, and potential sales of common and/or preferred stock, it can meet its anticipated liquidity and capital resource requirements for the next twelve months.

Critical Accounting Policies

Inventories

The Company’s inventories are segregated into three major categories. Serialized DirecTV inventories consist primarily of satellite receivers and similar devices. Non-serialized DirecTV inventories consist primarily of satellite dishes, poles and similar devices which are supplied by DirecTV. Other inventory consists primarily of cable, switches and various small parts used in the installation of DirecTV satellite dishes. Inventory is priced using a standard cost, which approximates actual costs, determined on a first-in first-out basis.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company's long-lived assets include property, equipment, leasehold improvements and intangibles, subject to amortization. At December 31, 2010, the Company had net property and equipment of $7,177 which represents approximately 6.05% of the Company's total assets. At December 31, 2010, the Company had net intangibles of $17,435 which represented approximately 15.6% of the Company’s total assets (see Note 1). The Company annually reviews its long-lived assets for events or changes in circumstances that may indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable or exceeds its fair value. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. An impairment loss shall be measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds its fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

For the HSP segment, the income approach was used to measure fair value for those long-lived assets. The income approach was based on the present value of five years of future cash flows with an assumed growth of up to 3% while applying a discount rate. For the MDU segment, the market approach considering market multiples from comparable transactions were used to measure fair value of those long-lived assets. Comparable transactions were identified based on their similarities to the reporting unit with similar features, age of equipment, and length of ROE contracts. In 2010, the Company recorded an impairment charge related to two work in process build-out assets of $135. The owners of the MDU properties are currently in financial distress. The build-outs may not ever be completed. The Company estimates that the full value of the work in process may not be recognized and has recorded an impairment charge against the value of the work in process. In 2010, the Company did not record any impairment to long-lived assets related to the HSP segment. There was no impairment recorded for either segment at December 31, 2009 and 2008.

Impairment of Goodwill

In accordance with ASC Topic No. 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, goodwill and intangible assets without a defined life shall not be amortized over a defined period, but instead must be tested for impairment at least annually. Additionally, goodwill is tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of an entity below its carrying value. The goodwill impairment test is a two-step impairment test. In the first step, the Company compares the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. The Company’s estimates may differ from actual results due to, among other things, economic conditions, changes to its business models, or changes in operating performance. Significant differences between these estimates and actual results could result in future impairment charges and could materially affect the Company’s future financial results. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the net assets assigned to that reporting unit, goodwill is not impaired and the Company is not required to perform further testing. If the carrying value of the net assets assigned to the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then the Company must perform the second step in order to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill and compare it to the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill. The activities in the second step include valuing the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of the impaired reporting unit based on their fair value and determining the fair value of the impaired reporting unit’s goodwill based upon the residual of the summed identified tangible and intangible assets and liabilities. Future events could cause us to conclude that impairment indicators exist and that goodwill associated with our acquired businesses, which amounts to $38,042 as of December 31, 2010, may be impaired. Any resulting impairment loss could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations. During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $25 on the goodwill related to the US Install purchase. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company did not record any impairment related to goodwill. In 2008, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $50 on the goodwill related to the US Install purchase and the remaining goodwill balance of $17 from a previous acquisition.

Group Health and Workers’ Compensation Insurance Coverage

The Company is self-insured for health insurance covering the range of liability up to $275 per claim where our management expects most claims to occur. If any liability claims are substantially in excess of coverage amounts, such claims are covered under premium-based policies issued by insurance companies to coverage levels that management considers adequate.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for its stock options using fair value for the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors. The Company’s determination of fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of variables. These variables include, but are not limited to the Company’s expected stock price volatility, and actual and projected stock option exercise behaviors and forfeitures.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for deferred tax assets and liabilities under the liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for temporary differences that will result in taxable amounts in future years. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and tax operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the periods in which the deferred tax asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. The Company regularly assesses the likelihood that the deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income. The Company considers projected future taxable income and ongoing tax planning strategies, then records a valuation allowance to reduce the carrying value of the net deferred taxes for these amounts that are more likely than not, unable realized. Based upon the Company’s assessment of all available evidence, including previous years’ income, estimates of future profitability, and the Company’s overall prospects of future business, the Company determined that the Company will be able to realize a portion of the deferred tax assets in the future, and as a result recorded $5,116 of income tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2010, which includes a $12,400 release of the valuation allowance. Based on existing contracts, the Company used a discounted projection of its revenue and expenses over the next five years, which approximates the remaining life of our HSP contract with DIRECTV including the one year renewal term, to determine the level of existing net operating loss carryforwards it will be able to offset against taxable income in that period. The Company also analyzed its other deferred tax assets and liabilities outstanding at December 31, 2010. A portion of the valuation allowance was removed for the amount projected to reverse. As of December 31, 2009, the Company believed it was more likely than not that it would be unable to fully utilize the deferred tax assets. Accordingly, a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets was recorded as of that date. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the valuation allowance was $14,401 and $23,070, respectively.

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; market acceptance of the Company's products and services; the Company's continued ability to provide integrated communication solutions for customers in a dynamic industry; the Company’s ability to raise additional financing and other competitive factors. Because these and other factors could affect the Company's operating results, past financial performance should not necessarily be considered as a reliable indicator of future performance, and investors should not use historical trends to anticipate future period results.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”). Because of its inherent limitations, our disclosure controls and procedures may not prevent or detect misstatements. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issued and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.

Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that as of December 31, 2010, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company implemented the following major initiatives which served to strengthen its system of internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”).

During 2010, the Company made an improvement in its inventory accounting system wherein physical inventory adjustments were more clearly and specifically identifiable to the approved actual counts of warehouse and technician inventory items. This improvement was directed specifically at the inventories of the HSP segment.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of an issuer’s financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of an issuer’s assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that an issuer’s receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of its management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of an issuer’s assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, the application of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods is subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

As required by Rule 13a-15(c) promulgated under the Exchange Act, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010. Management’s assessment was based on criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (“COSO”). Based upon this evaluation, management concluded that the Company’s internal control was effective as of December 31, 2010.

The certifications of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer attached as Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K include, in paragraph 4 of such certifications, information concerning the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting. Such certifications should be read in conjunction with the information contained in this Item 9A for a more complete understanding of the matters covered by such certifications.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Frank Bennett	53	Director	2002
Jonathan Dodge	63	Director	1997
Eugene Harris	46	Director	2004
Donald Miller	70	Chairman of the Board of Directors	2001

James Mandel has been the Chief Executive Officer and a Director of Multiband since October 1, 1998. From October 1991 to October 1996, he was Vice President of Systems for Grand Casinos, Inc., a gaming company. Mr. Mandel serves on the Board of Directors of New Market Technology, Inc., a global small business incubator, GeoSpan Corporation, a geospatial imaging company and Independent Multi-Family Communications Council, a national trade group for the private cable industry. Among other attributes, skills and qualifications, the Board believes that Mr. Mandel is qualified to serve as a Director based on his long service to Multiband both as its Chief Executive Officer and as a Director, and his resulting deep familiarity with Multiband’s operations and its industry.

Report of the Audit Committee

April 6, 2011

To the Board of Directors of Multiband Corporation:

In accordance with its written charter adopted by the Board of Directors, the Audit Committee assists the Board in fulfilling its responsibility for oversight of the quality and integrity of the accounting, auditing, and financial reporting practices of the Company. During the year ended December 31, 2010, the committee met six times, and Frank Bennett, as the Audit Committee chair and representative of the Audit Committee, discussed the interim financial information contained in quarterly and annual filings on Forms 10Q and 10K, respectively, with the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm prior to public release.

In discharging its oversight responsibility as to the audit process, the audit committee obtained from the independent registered public accounting firm a formal written statement describing all relationships between the auditors and the Company that might bear on the auditors’ independence consistent with the Securities Acts and Standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, discussed with the auditors any relationships that may affect their objectivity and independence and satisfied itself as to the auditors’ independence. The audit committee also discussed with management and the independent registered public accounting firm the quality and adequacy of the Company’s internal controls. The audit committee reviewed with the independent registered public accounting firm their audit plans, audit scope, and identification of audit risks.

The audit committee discussed and reviewed with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm all communications required by generally accepted auditing standards and, both with and without management present, discussed and reviewed the results of the independent registered public accounting firms’ examination of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The audit committee reviewed the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 with management and the independent registered public accounting firm. Management has the responsibility for the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm has the responsibility for the examination of those statements.

Based on the review referred to above and discussions with management and the independent registered public accounting firm, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements be included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Audit Committee also recommended the reappointment, subject to shareholder approval, of the independent registered public accounting firm and the Board of Directors concurred in such recommendation.


		THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

				Frank Bennett, Chairman Jonathan Dodge Donald Miller

Nominating Committee

The Nominating Committee was formed by our Board in April 2004 and consists of Frank Bennett and Eugene Harris. The Nominating Committee's duties include adopting criteria for recommending candidates for election or re-election to our Board and its committees, considering issues and making recommendations considering the size and composition of our Board. The Nominating Committee will also consider nominees for Director suggested by shareholders in written submissions to the Company's Secretary.

Director Nomination Procedures

Director Manager Qualifications: The Company's Nominating Committee has established policies for the desired attributes of our Board as a whole. The Board will seek to ensure that a majority of its members are independent as defined in the NASDAQ listing standards. Each member of our Board must possess the individual qualities of integrity and accountability, informed judgment, financial literacy, high performance standards and must be committed to representing the long-term interests of the Company and the shareholders. In addition, Directors must be committed to devoting the time and effort necessary to be responsible and productive members of our Board. Our Board values diversity, in its broadest sense, reflecting, but not limited to, profession, geography, gender, ethnicity, skills and experience.

Identifying and Evaluating Nominees: The Nominating Committee regularly assesses the appropriate number of Directors comprising our Board, and whether any vacancies on our Board are expected due to retirement or otherwise. The Nominating Committee may consider those factors it deems appropriate in evaluating Director candidates including judgment, skill, diversity, strength of character, experience with businesses and organizations comparable in size or scope to the Company, experience and skill relative to other Board members, and specialized knowledge or experience. Depending upon the current needs of our Board, certain factors may be weighed more or less heavily by the Nominating Committee. In considering candidates for our Board, the Nominating Committee evaluates the entirety of each candidate's credentials and, other than the eligibility requirements established by the Nominating Committee, does not have any specific minimum qualifications that must be met by a nominee. The Nominating Committee considers candidates for the Board from any reasonable source, including current Board members, shareholders, professional search firms or other persons. The Nominating Committee does not evaluate candidates differently based on who has made the recommendation. The Nominating Committee has the authority under its charter to hire and pay a fee to consultants or search firms to assist in the process of identifying and evaluating candidates.

Charter of the Nominating Committee: A copy of the charter of the Nominating Committee is available on our website at www.multibandusa.com.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Our compensation committee

·	reviews and recommends the compensation arrangements for management, including the compensation for our Chief Executive Officer; and

·	establishes and reviews general compensation policies with the objective to attract and retain superior talent, to reward individual performance and to achieve our financial goals.

We are committed to attracting, hiring and retaining an experienced management team that can successfully sell and operate our services. The fundamental policy of our compensation committee is to provide our executive officers with competitive compensation opportunities based upon their contribution to our development and financial success and long-term stockholder interest, as well as each officer’s personal performance. The compensation package for each executive officer is comprised of three elements (i) base salary which reflects individual performance and is designed primarily to be competitive with salary levels in the industry; (ii) potential for cash bonus payments contingent upon specific corporate and individual milestones; and (iii) long-term stock-based incentive awards which strengthen the mutuality of interests between the executive officers and our shareholders.

At the beginning of each year, certain performance objectives are set by the compensation committee for management. 2010 corporate objectives included goals based on subscriber sales and certain financial metrics. By year end, the compensation committee reviews the performance of the Company against the corporate objectives and reviews the performance of each executive officer against their individual objectives. Based upon results achieved, the executive officers may receive part or all of a targeted bonus award.

Our compensation committee met one time during 2010. The compensation committee is comprised entirely of non-employee Directors who meet the independence requirements of the NASDAQ listing standards. The compensation committee is comprised of Jonathan Dodge, Eugene Harris, and Donald Miller.

(1) The “potential realizable value” shown represents the potential gains based on annual compound stock price appreciation of 5% and 10% from the date of grant through the full option terms, net of exercise price, but before taxes associated with exercise. The amounts represent certain assumed rates of appreciation only, based on the Securities and Exchange Commission rules. Actual gains, if any, on stock option exercises are dependent on the future performance of the common stock, overall market conditions and the option holders, continued employment through the vesting period. The amounts reflected in this table may not necessarily be achieved and do not reflect the Company’s estimate of future stock price growth.

Each option represents the right to purchase one share of common stock. The options shown in this table are all non-qualified stock options. To the extent not already exercisable, the options generally become exercisable in the event of a merger in which the Company is not the surviving corporation, a transfer of all shares of stock of the Company, a sale of substantially all the assets, or a dissolution or liquidation, of the Company.

Report of the Compensation Committee

April 6, 2011

To the Board of Directors of Multiband Corporation:

We have reviewed and discussed with management the Company’s Compensation Discussion and Analysis. Based on this review and these discussions, we recommend to the Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in Multiband Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

		THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE

				Eugene Harris, Chairman Jonathan Dodge Donald Miller

Risk Assessment of our Compensation Policies and Practices

The Compensation Committee, with the assistance of management, has reviewed the Company’s compensation policies and programs for all employees for the purpose of assessing the risks associated with compensation. After that review, the Compensation Committee determined that the Company’s compensation policies and programs do not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

During 2010, the Compensation Committee was composed of Mr. Harris, Chairman, Mr. Dodge and Mr. Miller. None of the Company’s executive officers served during the year ended December 31, 2010 as a director or member of the compensation committee (or other committee serving an equivalent function) of any other entity whose executive officers served on our Board of Directors or Compensation Committee.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company’s executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of the Company’s common stock to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. These persons are required to provide us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports that they file. Based solely upon a review these reports and written representations from our directors and executive officers, we believe that our directors, executive officers and 10% owners, other than DTHC, complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to them during the year ended December 31, 2010.

Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management

Beneficial ownership means sole or shared voting power or investment power with respect to a security. We have been informed that all shares shown are held of record with sole voting and investment power, except as otherwise indicated. To our knowledge, none of the shares reported below are pledged as security.

The table also includes 206,410 shares subject to equity grants made to directors and executive office in January 2011. Shares of common stock subject to options or warrants that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of March 15, 2011 are deemed to be outstanding and to be beneficially owned by the person holding the options for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of that person but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. The percentage ownership information assumes no exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option. Unless otherwise indicated, the information in the table does not include any stock options and/or warrants outstanding that cannot be exercised within 60 days of March 15, 2010.

The persons or entities identified in this table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares shown as beneficially owned by them, unless otherwise indicated, subject to applicable community property laws.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholders, Board of Directors, and Audit Committee

Multiband Corporation and subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Multiband Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010. 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. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of its internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. 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 consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Multiband Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the results of their operations and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements, certain contractual relationships exist between the Company and DirecTECH Holding Company, Inc., which preceded a business combination occurring on January 2, 2009.

NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Business

Multiband Corporation and subsidiaries (the Company) was incorporated in Minnesota in September 1975. The Company provides voice, data and video services to multi-dwelling unit and single family home 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. The Company earned a net income of $14,694 for the year ended December 31, 2010, incurred a net loss of $11,377 for the year ended December 31, 2009, and earned a net income of $1,597 for the year ended December 31, 2008. At December 31, 2010, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $81,738. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on maintaining profitability and/or raising additional capital. Management may sell, if prudent, certain assets on a strategic basis for prices agreeable to the Company and/or 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, capital and operating lease obligations and fund the Company's operations for the next twelve months:

1.	Maintain continued profitability in the Company’s HSP segment.

2.	Evaluate factors such as anticipated usage and inventory turnover to maintain optimal inventory levels.

3.	Obtain senior debt financing with extended terms to refinance the Company’s note payable to DirecTECH Holding Company, Inc., which matures on January 1, 2013.

4.	Expand call center support with sales of call center services to both existing and future system operators and to buyers of the Company’s video subscribers.

5.	Solicit additional equity investment in the Company by issuing either preferred or common stock for general corporate purposes.

6	Effective tax planning and utilization of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards to realize maximum tax savings.

Principles of Consolidation

The 2010 consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Multiband Corporation (MBCorp) and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Minnesota Digital Universe, Inc. (MNMDU), Multiband Subscriber Services, Inc. (MBSS), Multiband NC Incorporated (NC) (formerly Michigan Microtech, Incorporated (MMT)), Multiband NE Incorporated (NE), Multiband SC Incorporated (SC), Multiband EC Incorporated (EC), Multiband MDU Incorporated (MBMDU), Multiband DV Incorporated (DV) and Multiband Security Incorporated (Security).

The 2010 and 2009 consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all wholly-owned subsidiaries including the newly acquired companies that were purchased, effective January 2, 2009, when the Company purchased 80% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of all of the DirecTECH Holding Co. (DTHC) operating subsidiaries (DirecTECH) (an additional 29% of NC, 51% of which was previously purchased effective March 1, 2008 (see Note 2) and 80% of NE, SC, EC, MBMDU, DV and Security (see Note 2)). The noncontrolling interest in subsidiaries on the consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statement of operations represents DTHC’s 20% ownership of NE, SC, EC, NC, MBMDU, DV Incorporated (DV) and Multiband Security from January 2, 2009 to December 17, 2009. On December 17, 2009, the Company purchased the remaining 20% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of all of the DTHC operating subsidiaries (DirecTECH) and transferred $5,996 of noncontrolling interest to Multiband’s controlling interest (see Note 10). The Company pushes down applicable overhead, interest expense and amortization expense from the parent company (MBCorp) to its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The 2008 consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Multiband Corporation (MBCorp) and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Minnesota Digital Universe, Inc. (MNMDU), Multiband Subscriber Services, Inc. (MBSS), and Multiband USA, Inc. (MBUSA). In addition, effective March 1, 2008, the Company acquired a 51% interest in Multiband NC Incorporated (NC) (formerly Michigan Microtech, Inc. (MMT)) and have also included NC’s results of operations and cash flow for the ten months ended December 31, 2008 in the consolidated financial statements for that period.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the Securities Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 “Revenue Recognition” (“SAB 104”), 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) collectability is reasonably assured; and (iv) product delivery has occurred or services have been rendered. The Company recognizes revenue as services are performed and completed.

The Company has two operating segments. The HSP segment (HSP) (companies include NE, SC, EC, NC, DV and Security) provides the installation and service of DirecTV video programming, internet and home security systems for residents of single family homes. The MDU segment (MDU) (companies include MNMDU, MBSS and MBMDU) represents results as the master service operator for DirecTV and provides voice, data and video services to residential multi-dwelling units as the principal to subscribers.

The Company earns HSP segment revenue as follows:

·	installation and service of DirecTV video programming for residents of single family homes

·	installation of home security systems and internet services

The Company has a home services provider agreement with DirecTV which allows the Company to install and activate DirecTV video programming services for residents of single family homes. As a DirecTV HSP, the Company earns revenue for installing and servicing DirecTV video customers pursuant to predetermined rates set by DirecTV which may vary from time to time. Revenue is recognized upon completion of the delivery and installation of equipment. DirecTV reimburses the Company for substantially all DirecTV equipment used for customer installation related to the HSP segment.

The Company earns MDU segment revenue as follows:

1.	From voice, video and data communications products which are sold and installed.

2.	Direct billing of user charges to multiple dwelling units, through the activation of, enhancement of, and residual fees on video programming services provided to residents of multiple dwelling units.

MDU segment user charges are recognized as revenues in the period the related services are provided. Any amounts billed prior to services being provided are reported as deferred service obligations and revenues.

Revenue generated from activation of video programming services is earned in the month of activation. According to Multiband's Master System Operator 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. 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, a variable amount depending on the number of activations in a given month, and a variable amount for coordinating improvements of systems used to deliver enhanced programming services. 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 reports the aforementioned MDU voice, data, and video revenues on a gross basis based on the following factors: the Company has the primary obligation in the arrangement with its customers; the Company controls the pricing of its services; the Company performs customer service for the agreements; the Company approves customers; and the Company assumes the risk of payment for services provided. We offer some products and services that are provided by third party vendors. We review the relationship between us, the vendor and the end customer on an individual basis to assess whether revenue should be reported on a gross or net basis. As an example, our resold satellite digital television revenue is reported on a net basis.

MDU segment revenue generated by the support center to service third party subscribers by providing billing and call center support services is recognized in the period the related services are provided.

Customers contract for both the purchase and installation of voice and data networking technology products and certain video technologies products. Revenue is recognized when the products are delivered and installed and the customer has accepted and has the ability to fulfill the terms of the contract.

The Company’s policy is to present taxes imposed on revenue-producing transactions on a net basis.

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.

Investments

We classify investments in marketable securities at the time of purchase. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, all marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale and as such, the investments are recorded at fair value. Gains and losses on the sale of marketable securities are recognized in operations based on the specific identification method. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, our investments consisted of common shares of Western Capital Resources, Inc. (WCRS).

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. For the MDU and HSP segments, the Company does have concentrations of credit risk as over 84.1% of accounts receivable at December 31, 2010 is with one customer (see Note 15). 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 approximately $112 and $810 at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Inventories

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.

Long-lived Assets

The Company annually reviews its long-lived assets for events or changes in circumstances that may indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable or exceeds its fair value. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. An impairment loss shall be measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds its fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company's long-lived assets include property, equipment, leasehold improvements and intangibles, subject to amortization. At December 31, 2010, the Company had net property and equipment of $7,177 which represents approximately 6.05% of the Company's total assets. At December 31, 2010, the Company had net intangibles of $17,435 which represented approximately 15.6% of the Company’s total assets (see Note 1).

Deferred Revenue

The Company invoices for certain installation upgrade projects upon order of project equipment. Revenue is deferred on these projects until the equipment is installed.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

For our annual goodwill impairment test, our reporting units were the same as our operating segments. We tested impairment for the HSP and MDU segments which both had goodwill at December 31, 2010 and 2009. The Company utilized the best information available, including prices for similar assets and liabilities and the results of using other fair-value measurement techniques. The income approach was used to determine the fair value of the HSP segment, whereby the fair value was calculated based on the present value of five years of future cash flows with an assumed growth of up to 3%, plus the present value of projected terminal value excluding amortization expense, calculated based on the Gordon Growth Model and applying a discount rate that represented the Company’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC). For the MDU segment, the market approach, considering market multiples from comparable transactions, was used to measure fair value. Comparable transactions were identified based on their similarities to the reporting unit with similar economic prospects. The Company concluded there was no goodwill impairment at December 31, 2010 and 2009.

We assessed the reasonableness of the fair value calculations of our reporting units by reconciling the sum of the fair values for all our reporting units using the income and market approaches to our total market capitalization. The Company analyzed its stock price and overall market capitalization which, although fluctuating throughout 2010, trended upward overall. When reconciling the income approach results with the Company’s market capitalization as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, which was lower than the Company’s goodwill carrying value as stated on its December 31, 2010 and 2009 balance sheet, we increased the selected discount rate used in the income approach to account for the additional cash flow projection risk that is perceived by the market. The discount rate was increased to 26.5% from the Company’s WACC of 19%.

At December 31, 2010, the Company determined that there was no event which occurred or circumstance changes that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of its reporting units below their respective carrying values. Goodwill was $38,042 and $38,067 at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The goodwill recorded as part of our HSP segment was $37,686 at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The goodwill recorded as part of our MDU segment was $356 and $381 at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. In 2010, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $25 related to the US Install goodwill.

Amortization of intangible assets was $5,437, $8,216, and $2,245 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Estimated amortization expense of intangible assets for the years ending December 31, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and thereafter is $3,802, $3,738, $3,629, $3,570, $2,633 and $50, respectively. Right of entry contracts contain $13 of contracts that have not been placed in service, therefore no amortization expense has been recorded. The weighted average remaining life of the intangibles is 4.69 years with right of entry average life of 3.83 years and contracts with DirecTV of 4.75 years. The increase in intangibles during 2009 is due to the purchase of DirecTECH (see Note 2).

The Company amortizes the right of entry contracts, contracts with DirecTV, and customer contracts, over their estimated useful lives ranging from 15 to 115 months.

Debt Issuance Costs

The Company has capitalized $191 and $145 of debt issuance costs during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Company amortizes the debt issuance costs under the effective method over the life of the related debt instrument and includes these costs with other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Amortization of debt issuance costs of $74 and $36 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, is included in interest expense.

Group Health and Workers’ Compensation Insurance Coverage

Insurance and claims accruals reflect the estimated cost for group health and workers’ compensation claims not covered by insurance. The insurance and claims accruals are recorded at the estimated payment amounts. Such insurance and claims accruals are based upon individual case estimates and estimates of incurred-but-not-reported losses using loss development factors based upon past experience and industry data.

During 2010, the Company is self-insured for workers compensation claims up to $250 plus administrative expenses, for each occurrence involving workers compensation claims since that date. The Company has a deposit of $3,749 included in other long term assets at December 31, 2010. This deposit is related to the 2010 work compensation plan year. During 2009, in certain states, the Company was self-insured for workers’ compensation liability claims up to $100, plus administrative expenses, for each occurrence involving workers’ compensation claims since February 1, 2009.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are charged to expense as incurred. Advertising costs were $28, $153 and $59, for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for all stock-based payments at fair value. The financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 recognize compensation cost for the portion of outstanding awards which have vested during the applicable year. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation costs on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the option vesting term. For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, total stock-based compensation expense of $593 ($0.06 per share basic and $0.04 per share diluted), $157 ($0.02 per share, basic and diluted) and $165 ($0.02 per share, basic and diluted) was included in selling, general and administrative expenses, respectively. As of December 31, 2010, there was $2,179 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.42 years. This is an estimate based on options currently outstanding and therefore this projected expense could be more in the future. The total fair value of stock options vested during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $3,830 and $3,650, respectively.

The Company’s determination of fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of variables. These variables include, but are not limited to the Company’s expected stock price volatility, and actual and projected stock option exercise behaviors and forfeitures. An option's expected term is the estimated period between the grant date and the exercise date of the option. As the expected-term period increases, the fair value of the option and the compensation cost will also increase. The expected-term assumption is generally calculated using historical stock option exercise data. The Company does not have historical exercise data to develop such an assumption. In cases where companies do not have historical data and where the options meet certain criteria, the use of a simplified expected-term calculation is allowed. Accordingly, the Company calculated the expected terms using the simplified method.

The Company calculates expected volatility for stock options and awards using historical volatility, as the Company believes the expected volatility will approximate the historical volatility. The starting point for the historical period used is July 1, 2001. The Company estimates the forfeiture rate for stock options using 5% for all employees.

The risk-free rates for the expected terms of the stock options and awards and the employee stock purchase plan is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

In determining the compensation cost of the options granted during fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008, 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:

	2010		2009		2008
Risk-free interest rate		2.34%		1.43%		3.02%
Expected life of options granted	4.9 years		5.0 years		6.5 years
Expected volatility range		95.9%		95%		94%
Expected dividend yield		0%		0%		0%

Restricted Stock

The Company awards restricted common shares to selected employees. Recipients are not required to provide any consideration other than services. Company share awards are subject to certain restrictions on transfer, and all or part of the shares awarded may be subject to forfeiture upon the occurrence of certain events, including employment termination. The restricted stock is valued at the grant date fair value of the common stock and expensed over the requisite service period or vesting term of the awards. For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $271 ($0.03 per share basic and $0.02 per share diluted), $0 ($0.00 per share basic and $0.00 per share diluted), and $0 ($0.00 per share basic and $0.00 per share diluted), respectively. At December 31, 2010, there was approximately $231 of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense associated with the non-vested restricted stock granted. Stock-based compensation expense relating to these restricted shares is being recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.86 years. The total fair value of shares vested during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $100 and $0, respectively.

Income (Loss) per Common Share

Basic income (loss) per common share is computed by using income (loss) attributable to common stockholders and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted income (loss) per common share reflects the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive shares consists of shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options, stock warrants and unvested restricted stock (using treasury stock method) and conversion of preferred shares (using the as converted method). All options, warrants, convertible preferred shares, and unvested restricted stock during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share as their effects were anti-dilutive due to the Company’s net losses for the periods. A reconciliation of the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding and awards excluded from the diluted income (loss) per share calculation, as they were anti-dilutive, are as follows:

A business segment is a distinguishable component of an enterprise that is engaged in providing an individual product or service or a group of related products or services and that is subject to risks and returns that are different from those of other business segments. Management believes that the Company has two operating segments, HSP, where the Company receives net cash payments for the installation and service of DirecTV video programming, internet and home security systems for residents of single family homes, and MDU, where the Company acts as a master service operator for DirecTV, receives net cash payments for managing video subscribers through its network of system operators who are billed by DirecTV and also directly bills voice, internet and video subscribers as a principal.

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, charge back of DirecTV activation fees, inventory obsolescence, stock subscriptions and interest receivable, stock based compensation, property and equipment estimated useful lives, goodwill and intangible assets carrying value and the valuation of deferred income tax assets.

Financial Instruments

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

Reclassifications

Certain accounts in the prior year’s audited consolidated financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to the current year’s presentation. The reclassification was a change in presentation of accrued liabilities (see Note 5) as of December 31, 2009 to reflect the current classification. This reclassification had no effect on reported net income (loss).

NOTE 2 – Business Acquisitions/Sales Transactions

Effective December 17, 2009, the Company purchased the remainder of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of all of the DTHC operating subsidiaries (DirecTECH) (an additional 20% of NC (formerly MMT), 29% of which was previously purchased effective January 2, 2009 and 51% of which was purchased effective March 1, 2008 and 20% of NE, SC, EC, MBMDU, DV and Security, 80% of which was previously purchased effective January 2, 2009). DTHC, a fulfillment agent for a national satellite television company, DirecTV, specialized in the providing of satellite TV to single family homes. The purpose of this acquisition was to increase the Company’s business of installing video services in single family homes (HSP segment). The Company issued 100 shares of Multiband Series J Preferred Stock with a fair value of $10,000 to purchase the remaining 20% interest. Because the Company already had a controlling interest in these entities the purchase transaction is accounted for as an equity transaction only.

The carrying amount of the noncontrolling interest at December 17, 2009 was adjusted to reflect the 100% ownership in the subsidiaries by reducing the accumulated deficit. The difference between the amount of noncontrolling interest at December 17, 2009 and the fair value of the preferred shares issued of $10,000 was also recorded as a reduction of accumulated deficit. The net effect to equity was zero. No increase to goodwill or intangibles was recorded as part of this acquisition.

On January 2, 2009, the Company purchased 80% of NE, SC, EC, MBMDU, DV and Security. The purchase price totaled $40,400 plus other contingent consideration valued at $1,608 as of the acquisition date. The $40,400 consists of three parts: 1) $500 in cash which was paid at the initial closing date of January 2, 2009 and in escrow as a deposit at December 31, 2008; 2) a non-interest bearing note of $500 payable without interest as follows: $250 on demand on or after April 1, 2009 and $250 after the Company’s retention of senior financing, as defined, no later than August 31, 2009 which has not been paid as of December 31, 2009; 3) a promissory note in the amount of $39,400, due January 1, 2013, bearing interest at an annual rate of 8.25% (subject to adjustment in the event of a default), plus the remaining $800 note payable from the purchase of 51% of NC. Subsequent to the closing, the Company and DTHC mutually agreed to offset the $40,200 promissory note by the amount of $6,344, for an offsetting receivable on Multiband’s books as of December 31, 2008. This reduced the amount of this promissory note to $33,856. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company has offset an additional $407 and $4,000, respectively, of receivables from DirecTECH related to legal claims, which brings the remaining balance of the note to $29,449 and $29,856, respectively (see Note 7).

The Company evaluates the purchase price allocation based on the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company recognizes pre-acquisition contingencies at fair value, if fair value can be reasonably determined. If fair value cannot be reasonably determined, the Company records the contingencies at its best estimate.

Because the Company had previously gained control of NC with its purchase of 51% of NC in March 2008, Multiband recognized the acquisition of the additional 29% ownership interest in NC on January 2, 2009 as an equity transaction. The purchase price of $1,660 increased the accumulated deficit and the transfer of $2,054 of noncontrolling interest to controlling interest decreased the accumulated deficit. No increase to goodwill or intangibles was recorded as part of this acquisition.

(in thousands, except for shares and per share amounts)

In the January 2, 2009 transaction to purchase the other DTHC operating subsidiaries, the Company recognized the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with certain exceptions. The assets and liabilities purchased are all measured on a nonrecurring basis at fair value. The Company recognized goodwill as of the acquisition date, measured using an income, market or cost approach, which in most types of business combinations will result in measuring goodwill as the excess of the fair value of consideration transferred plus the fair value of any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired or assumed. A qualitative and quantitative analysis of factors that make up recognized goodwill, such as DirecTECH’s assets, liabilities and other contingent considerations, such as leases and other off-balance sheet commitments, follows.

A summary of the transaction is as follows:

Cash paid	$	500
Short-term debt		500
Promissory note		39,400
Total consideration		40,400
Less consideration for 29% of NC (recorded separately as an equity transaction)		(1,660	)
Consideration for 80% of outstanding stock of EC, NE, SC, MBMDU, DV, and Security	$	38,740

Assets	$	33,444
Intangible assets		27,634
Goodwill		36,972
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities		(53,004	)
Noncontrolling interest		(6,306	)
	$	38,740

The fair value of the intangible assets of $27,634 and noncontrolling interest of $6,306 was obtained by management, using a fair value measurement which included applying discount rates of 15%, a terminal value of $28,200, as well as a noncontrolling discount of 30%.

As part of the acquisition, the Company preliminarily assessed a $5,040 contingent legal accrual related to an existing litigation. In connection with the purchase of the operating subsidiaries of DTHC, the Company has the right to offset half of certain claims against the note to DTHC once those claims are ultimately resolved, and therefore also allocated a note receivable – related party of $2,290 which represented an estimate of the amount that could be recovered from DTHC based on the preliminary legal contingency accrual. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company increased the contingent legal accrual to $8,706 based on new information received about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date related to certain legal matters. On December 31, 2009 the Company settled in principal the majority of these claims, and recorded the settlement of $6,729, net of imputed interest of $575 (see Note 5). The remaining contingent liability related to this litigation was an estimated $1,977 at December 31, 2009. At the time the settlement was recorded, the Company also offset $3,904 of the note receivable – related party against the note payable – related party to DTHC. The remaining balance on the note receivable of $1,011 at December 31, 2009 represented an estimate of the amount that will be recovered from DTHC based on the preliminary legal estimate. The receivable is classified as long-term since management intends to offset the receivable with any balance remaining on the note payable to DTHC. (Note 15)

The Company acquired $25,400 of intangible assets relating to contracts with DirecTV as well as right of entry contracts of $2,234. At the time of the acquisition, the weighted average remaining life of the intangibles acquired was 2.57 years based on terms without renewals, with an average life for right of entry contracts of 5.44 years and contracts with DirecTV of 2.33 years. The weighted average remaining life of the intangibles acquired was 3.49 years assuming one year term renewals, with right of entry contracts average life of 5.44 years and contracts with DirecTV of 3.33 years. In October 2010, the Company signed a new contract with DirecTV (see Note 15). The Company capitalizes material costs incurred to renew or extend terms of intangible assets. No costs have been incurred to renew or extend the terms of intangible assets during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. Goodwill and intangible assets acquired are not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

At June 30, 2009, the Company revised the initial purchase price fair value of the contingent consideration from $1,608 to zero. The Company determined that the significant level 3 inputs previously used to determine the contingent consideration were incomplete. After further review, the Company determined that it was appropriate to define this change as a measurement period adjustment to the purchase price. At December 31, 2009, the Company adjusted the contingencies estimated as a result of improved information regarding circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date which increased the liability by $1,090 and goodwill and receivables by $545. At December 31, 2009, the Company adjusted the majority of the contingencies due to an actual settlement in principle of certain litigation (See Note 5). In the fourth quarter of 2009, within the one-year measurement period, the Company also increased accrued liabilities by $1,200 to reflect the assumption of an insurance premium obligation.

Effective March 1, 2008, the Company purchased, pursuant to a Supplemental Agreement and Plan of Share Exchange, 51% of the outstanding shares of Michigan Microtech, Incorporated (MMT), previously a wholly owned subsidiary of DirecTECH Holding Company, Inc. (DTHC) which equaled 1,020,000 MMT common shares. The consideration paid for the shares was 1,490,000 shares of restricted Multiband common stock valued at $3,854 and a promissory note for $2,246. The note was retired in January 2009 when the majority acquisition of all the DirecTECH operating subsidiaries occurred. The Multiband shares, via negotiation and mutual agreement between buyer and seller, were valued at $2.59 per share. The seller received certain piggyback registration rights with regards to the Multiband shares. The note payable was recorded net of a discount for imputed interest of 3% which amortized monthly as part of interest expense. The total discount for imputed interest amounted to $317. The Company purchased MMT to enter the market of installing video services in single family homes. The Company allocated the purchase price to the fair values of MMT assets and liabilities. As part of the acquisition, the Company recognized an intangible asset of $1,804 related to MMT’s HSP agreement with DirecTV, and goodwill of $1,045. The Company will amortize this intangible over the remaining 38 month term of MMT’s home services provided contract with DirecTV. The term of the contract will automatically renew as of April 30, 2011 for additional one year periods unless either MMT or DirecTV gives written notice of termination at least 90 days in advance of expiration of the then current term. The goodwill will not be deductible for tax purposes.

In May 2007 (as subsequently amended in June 2007, December 2007, June 2008 and October 2008), DirecTECH Holding Company (DTHC) and its subsidiaries, including Michigan Microtech, Incorporated (MMT) which, prior to March 1, 2008, was 100% owned by DTHC, entered into a loan and security agreement with MB Financial Bank, N.A. (MB Bank). Multiband Corporation, effective March 1, 2008, owned 51% of the common stock of MMT. At the time of Multiband’s purchase of the MMT stock in February 2008, Multiband received a release of the MB Bank’s lien against the MMT stock. However, MMT remained an obligor on the overall MB Bank loan until the loan was paid in full during December 2008. MMT never utilized any of the loan proceeds. Based on the Company’s interpretation of Securities Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 5J (SAB 5J), none of the DTHC bank loan debt is reflected in MMT’s financial statements which have been consolidated with Multiband Corporation’s financial statements for the ten months ended December 31, 2008.

Effective March 1, 2008, the Company purchased 100% of the assets of US Install LLC in exchange for $95 in cash plus 37,879 shares of restricted Multiband common stock valued at $103. The Company also incurred acquisition expense of $1 related to this purchase. In addition, the parties executed employment agreements with US Install’s two principals. The parties also executed noncompetition and nonsolicitation agreements with each principal in exchange for cash consideration of $3 per agreement. The Company allocated the purchase price as follows:

Intangible assets	$	103
Goodwill		100
Total assets acquired	$	203

In June 2005, the Company borrowed $2,000 from Convergent Capital Partners I, L.P. in connection with an amendment of an original debt agreement. The amendment extended the due date to May 2009. The Company was required to pay monthly interest only payments through the due date. The interest rate varied from 11% to 14% dependent on the Company’s stock prices. The debenture agreement was collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company. In January 2009, the Company modified the terms of its June 2005 warrant agreement with Convergent Capital. The impact of the modification was an increase in the value of the warrants of approximately $30 which was expensed in 2009. On May 26, 2009, the Company paid off its loan from Convergent Capital Partners I, L.P., in the amount of $1,400.

On May 27, 2009, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Convergent Capital Partners, II, L.P. for $5,000. This loan carries an interest rate of 14% and requires monthly interest only payments until December 2012 when the principal is due and payable in full. In connection with this loan, the Company paid a closing fee to the lender of $100. The Company also issued the lender 212,574 fully vested five year warrants with an exercise price of $3. The gross proceeds were allocated between the note and the warrants based on the relative fair value at the time of issuance. The warrants were valued at $347 using the Black Scholes pricing model, recorded as original issue discount, and amortized under the effective interest method over the term of the note. The Company expensed $96 and $58 during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. In the event the Company wishes to prepay the loan a prepayment penalty will be assessed. The loan gives the lender a first security position in the Company’s assets. The loan contains certain covenants with regards to the Company’s quarterly earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company was in compliance with this covenant during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

On July 18, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a 1 for 5 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, effective August 7, 2007. In conjunction therewith, the Company amended its articles of incorporation to reduce its authorized capital shares from 100 million to 20 million to conform to Minnesota statutory requirements. On August 12, 2009, the Company’s shareholders approved an increase in the Company’s authorized shares to 100,000,000 shares of no par capital stock. This increase was formally effectuated in December 2009. The Company gave retroactive effect of the common shares for the reverse stock split transaction in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the consolidated statements of operations.

NOTE 12– Income Taxes

The Company has federal net operating losses of $58,213 and state net operating losses of approximately $44,631, at December 31, 2010, which, if not used, will expire from 2011-2029. Changes in the stock ownership of the Company have placed limitations on the use of these net operating loss carryforwards (NOLs). The Company has performed an IRC Section 382 study and determined that a total of four ownership changes had occurred since 1999. As a result of these ownership changes, the Company’s ability to utilize its net operating losses is limited. Federal net operating losses are limited to a total of approximately $48,700, consisting of annual amounts of approximately $9,000 per year for each of the years 2010-2012, $3,700 in 2013 and $1,100 per year thereafter. State net operating losses are limited to a total of approximately $21,500. We believe that approximately $20,000 of federal net operating losses and $29,000 of state net operating losses will expire unused due to IRC Section 382 limitations. These limitations could be further restricted if additional ownership changes occur in future years. The amount of the deferred tax asset not expected to be realized is reported net of a valuation allowance.

The Company assesses the potential realization of net deferred tax assets on an annual basis, or on an interim basis if the circumstances warrant. If the Company’s actual results and updated projections vary significantly from the projections used as a basis for this determination, the Company may need to increase or decrease the valuation allowance against the gross deferred tax assets. The Company would adjust its valuation allowance in the period the determination was made. The Company considers projected future taxable income and ongoing tax planning strategies then records a valuation allowance to reduce the carrying value of the net deferred taxes for amounts that are unable to be realized. Based on existing contracts, the Company used a discounted projection of its revenue and expenses over the next five years, to determine the level of existing net operating loss carryforwards it will be able to offset against taxable income in that period which approximates the term of our HSP contract with DIRECTV including a one year renewal term. Based upon the Company’s assessment of all available evidence, including previous years’ income, estimates of future profitability, and the Company’s overall prospects of future business, the Company determined that the Company will be able to realize a portion of the deferred tax assets in the future, and as a result recorded $5,116 of income tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2010, which includes a $12,400 release of the valuation allowance.

The Company analyzed its other deferred tax assets and liabilities outstanding at December 31, 2010. A portion of the valuation allowance was removed for the amount projected to reverse. As of December 31, 2009, the Company believed it was more likely than not that it would be unable to fully utilize the deferred tax assets. Accordingly, a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets was recorded as of that date. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the valuation allowance was $14,401 and $23,070, respectively. The change in the valuation allowance was $8,669, $(5,897), and $(1,147) for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The change in the valuation allowance shown in the effective tax rate reflects the current year’s activity. It does not include a change in the valuation allowance due to adjustments in the deferred items for adjustments, true-ups, and purchase accounting entries that do not affect the current year’s tax provision.

During the fourth quarter of 2010, Company revised certain assumptions of the projected taxable income previously estimated during the year. The Company accelerated the payment of an outstanding liability and paid off the remaining balance of $3,458 during the fourth quarter of 2010. The Company also completed its IRC Section 382 federal net operating loss carryforward study prior to the issuance of the 2010 consolidated financial statements. The study used an alternative method for determining the IRC Section 382 limitation than had been used in the prior analysis. The original estimate of the net operating loss limitation was $6,294 for each of the next five years. As a result of the final study during the fourth quarter of 2010, the net operating loss limitation is approximately $9,000 for each of the next three years. These revisions have been recorded and accounted for as a change in estimate due to new information including changes in facts and circumstances that were not reasonably knowable previously. The impact of recording these revisions in the fourth quarter was an increase in net income of approximately $1,639, or $0.16 and $0.10 basic and diluted per share, respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2010.

As of December 31, 2009, the acquired net deferred tax assets had a full valuation allowance to reserve against those deferred tax assets as the Company believed it was more likely than not that it would be unable to utilize the acquired deferred tax benefits. During 2010, the Company determined that a portion of these deferred tax assets would be utilized and reduced the previously established valuation allowance.

The state tax expense reported is due to some of the subsidiaries having taxable income in states where the state requires filing separate company income tax returns instead of filing on a consolidated basis with members of the consolidated group. Other state tax expense is associated with the tax liability being calculated off of gross receipts, capital, or some other non-income method of computation. Components of income tax expense (benefit) for 2010 and 2009 are:

We recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. As of December 31, 2010, we did not have any material uncertain tax positions.

It is our practice to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters as a component of income tax expenses on the consolidated statement of operations. As of December 31, 2010, we had an immaterial amount of accrued interest and penalties.

We are subject to income taxes in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various state jurisdictions. Tax regulations from each jurisdiction are subject to the interpretation of the related tax laws and regulations and require significant judgment to apply. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state or local income tax examinations by tax authorities for the years before 1999. Typically the statute of limitations is 3 years for the federal and 5 years for the state tax returns. Multiband’s statutes are open back to 1999 due to net operating losses available from those years. We are not currently under examination by any taxing jurisdiction.

We had no significant unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 that would reasonably be expected to affect our effective tax rate during the next twelve months.

Operating leases - buildings

The Company has various operating leases for its corporate office space and warehouses with lease terms expiring at various dates through June 2017. The monthly base rents range from approximately $170 to $175. The leases contain provisions for payments of real estate taxes, insurance and common area costs.

Total rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 including common area costs and real estate taxes was approximately $2,482, $2,409 and $584, respectively.

Operating leases - vehicles

The Company leases substantially all of its fleet vehicles under operating leases from one lessor. Each lease commences upon the in-service date of the vehicle and requires scheduled lease payments to be paid monthly for one year. After one year, the Company has the option to renew the lease as open ended or surrender the leased vehicle to the lessor to be sold. If the net proceeds of such sale exceed the vehicle’s then depreciated value, the lessee receives the benefit of such excess. If there is a deficiency upon such sale, then lessee is required to pay the deficiency as additional rent to lessor. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company recognized a loss on the sale of vehicles of approximately $762 and $233, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, the Company’s operating lease expense under the lease totaled approximately $7,912, $7,930 and $1,080, respectively. In addition, the Company has a security deposit with the lessor in the amount of approximately $1,701 and $1,701 which is included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Future minimum rental payments for all vehicles put in service in 2010 for the year ended December 31, 2011 is $1,297.

Significant Relationship

The Company is a master agent for DirecTV pursuant to a system operator agreement with DirecTV dated August 2005. Under that agreement the Company is required to ensure that its system operators meet minimum technical DirecTV system standards so that the system operator subscribers may properly receive DirecTV programming services. The initial term of the agreement is for three years and provides for two additional two-year renewals if the Company has a minimum number of paying video subscribers in its system operator network. The Company has met the requirements and has completed the first two year automatic renewal period. Currently the Company is on a month-to-month term while the agreement is in the process of being negotiated.

The Company also has a separate home service provider agreement with DirecTV ending September 30, 2014. The term of this agreement with DirecTV will automatically renew as of October 1, 2014 for additional one year periods unless either the Company or DirecTV gives written notice of termination at least 90 days in advance of expiration of the then current term. Termination of the Company's DirecTV agreements would have a material adverse impact on the Company's on-going operations. Revenues generated from DirecTV amounted to 99.0%, 99.2% and 91.3% of total revenue in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Accounts receivable from this customer were 84.1% and 88.5% of total accounts receivable as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Company purchases a substantial portion of its inventory from DirecTV. DirecTV is the only supplier of the major components (i.e., dishes and receivers) used in HSP segment installations. The total accounts payable to DirecTV, related to inventory supplied by DirecTV, was $17,009 and $14,886 at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Bulk Subsidy Reserve

Bulk subsidy revenue is generated when bulk subscriber counts are greater than the benchmark set by DirecTV. The Company reviews the subscriber counts associated with bulk properties on a periodic basis to determine bulk subscriber counts over the total units at the property. Based on its review, the Company estimates that the result of this analysis will be a reduction to the subscriber count of approximately 500 and 375 active bulk subscribers at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Company has recorded a bulk subsidy reserve of $100 and $75 at December 31, 2010 and 2009. This reserve is netted against DirecTV estimated receivables on the consolidated balance sheets and netted against revenues in the consolidated statement of operations for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008.

Legal proceedings

The majority of the accrual as of December 31, 2009 related to claims for back overtime wages alleged in a number of cases filed between 2006 to 2008 entitled Lachiev v. JBM (S.D. Ohio); Davis v. JBM (S.D. Ohio); Gruchy v. DirecTech Northeast (D. Mass); Stephen v. Michigan Microtech (E.D. Mich); and In re DirecTECH Southwest, Inc. (E.D. La). Effective December 31, 2009, the Company settled in principal all of these claims, with the exception of Gruchy v. DirecTech Northeast. While the Company and its predecessors denied the allegations underlying the lawsuits, they agreed to a settlement to avoid significant legal fees, the uncertainty of a jury trial, and other expenses and management time that would have to be devoted to protracted litigation. The Company recorded the settlement of $6,729, net of imputed interest of $575 and including administration fees and estimated payroll taxes (see Note 2). The aforementioned settlement was being paid in equal installments of $291 until December 2010 when the majority of the balance was paid off. The remaining balance of the settlement as of December 31, 2010 is $355, which will be paid in 2011. In December 2010, the Company settled the Gruchy case in principle for approximately $500, which will be paid during 2011.

In December 2009, the US Department of Labor (DOL) sued various individuals that are either shareholders, directors, trustees and/or advisors to DirecTECH Holding Company (DTHC) and its Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). Multiband Corporation was not named in this complaint. Various defendants in this matter have made requests to Multiband for advancement or reimbursement of legal fees to defend the case. Two of those Defendants, Robert Eddy and Woody Bilyeu, have filed suit against DTHC, Multiband and certain Multiband operating subsidiaries for reimbursement of said fees. In an ancillary count, Bilyeu has also filed suit seeking acceleration of his promissory note with DTHC which totals approximately $9,600 as of this writing. The basis for these reimbursement requests are certain corporate indemnification agreements that were entered into by the former DTHC operating subsidiaries and Multiband itself. To date, Multiband has denied all requests for indemnification of legal fees in this matter for, in part, the following reasons: 1) Similar indemnification agreements as the ones in question here were declared illegal under Federal law by a California federal appeals court; 2) The Company believes the primary remedy the DOL is seeking from the defendants is one of “disgorgement” from the individual DTHC shareholders; 3) Multiband has no obligation to indemnify DTHC individual shareholder conduct. Notwithstanding the above, the outcome of the matter is uncertain at present and Multiband cannot definitively predict based on the current facts known to it, whether it ultimately will have any material expense in the matter.

Line of credit

The Company has a line of credit agreement with a bank that provides borrowings up to $50, due on demand. Amounts outstanding under this line of credit carry an interest rate defined as the prime rate plus 3.0% (6.25% as of December 31, 2010). As of both December 31, 2010 and 2009, the amount outstanding was $49. This line of credit is guaranteed by J. Bas Mattingly, Vice President of Business Development of the Company.

Short-term financing

During 2010, the Company entered into a short-term financing agreement with First Insurance Funding Corporation in the amount of $8,806 for workers compensation, business and auto insurance. This financing agreement carried an interest rate of 6.12% and required monthly payments of principal and interest of $1,004 through October 2010. As of December 31, 2010, the financing agreement was paid in full.

Equity financing

On August 3, 2010, the Company signed a $10,000 purchase agreement to sell shares of the Company’s common stock to Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (LPC), an Illinois limited liability company. If declared effective by the SEC, the Company would use any proceeds from this agreement for working capital to support current operations and for other general corporate purposes; which may involve expansion of those operations and/or reduction of existing debt. We also entered into a registration rights agreement with LPC whereby we agreed to file a registration statement related to the transaction with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) covering the shares that have been issued or may be issued to LPC under the purchase agreement. After the SEC has declared effective the registration statement related to the transaction, we have the right, in our sole discretion, over a 25-month period to sell our shares of common stock to LPC in amounts up to $500 per sale, depending on certain conditions as set forth in the purchase agreement, up to the aggregate commitment of $10,000. As of this writing, the registration statement has not been declared effective but is pending under SEC review.

There are no upper limits to the price LPC may pay to purchase our common stock and the purchase price of the shares related to the $10,000 of future funding will be based on the prevailing market prices of the Company’s shares immediately preceding the time of sales without any fixed discount, and the Company will control the timing and amount of any sales of shares to LPC. LPC shall not have the right or the obligation to purchase any shares of our common stock on any business day that the purchase price would be below $1.40 per share and we anticipate only selling to LPC when the purchase price is above $1.62 per share, which is above the closing market price on August 2, 2010.

In consideration for entering into the $10,000 agreement, we issued to LPC, 103,164 shares of our common stock as a commitment fee and shall issue 103,164 common shares pro rata as LPC purchases the first $5,000 of the $10,000 aggregate commitment. The commitment fee of $190 is being amortized over the 25 month term of the agreement. The purchase agreement may be terminated by us at any time at our discretion without any cost to us. There are no negative covenants, restrictions on future fundings, penalties or liquidated damages in the agreement. The proceeds received by the Company under the purchase agreement are expected to be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

NOTE 16 – Related Party Transactions

On September 1, 2009, the Company entered into an unsecured short term promissory note in the amount of $800 with J. Basil Mattingly, Vice President of Business Development of the Company. The balance at December 31, 2010 and 2009 is $115 and $745, respectively.

The note was subsequently adjusted by $6,344 for an offsetting receivable which was on Multiband’s books as of December 31, 2008. This reduced the amount of this promissory note to $33,856. The Company has the right to offset a portion of certain claims against the note to DTHC once those claims are resolved. During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively the Company offset $408 and $4,000 of its claims against the outstanding balance. The balance as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, was $29,449 and $29,856, respectively (see Note 2 and 15). The note is secured by the stock and assets of all of the DTHC operating entities.

Prior to the purchase of DirecTECH on January 2, 2009, Multiband provided support center services to a then DirecTECH MDU (DTMDU), subsidiary of DTHC, currently Multiband MDU, Incorporated (MBMDU). The Company recorded MDU segment revenue of $416 from DTMDU for the year ended December 31, 2008. DTMDU was also one of the system operators in the MDU segment during 2008. The Company has recorded MDU segment revenue of $2,917 and cost of products and services of $2,895 for the year ended December 31, 2008 related to this system operator.

Multiband also had receivable balances with various DTHC entities at December 31, 2008 of $7,666. Of this amount, $5,844 was subsequently offset in the first quarter of 2009 against the purchase price note used to acquire majority ownership of the operating subsidiaries of DTHC (Note 2).

In 2008, Multiband earned a performance bonus as part of the aforementioned management consulting agreement with DTHC of $1,447 which was paid via reduction of the debt incurred in the acquisition of MMT (see Note 2). The Company recorded this consulting income as part of other income and expense on the statement of operations because the income does not constitute the entity’s ongoing major or central operations. The consulting income was not a reimbursement of direct expenses.

During 2009, the Company purchased 100% of the operating subsidiaries of DTHC (see Note 2). The following table is a condensed statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2008, which presents the proforma financial results for the Company excluding all 2008 transactions with DTHC (unaudited):
