SUMMARY OF THE COMPANY ERF Wireless, Inc. provides wireless communications products and services with an emphasis on providing reliable, high-speed wireless broadband services. The core focus of the Company is the acquisition and/or construction of strategically placed wireless broadband networks to provide delivery of reliable, bundled high-speed wireless broadband services including Internet data, voice, security and limited video services for enterprise, commercial, residential and private entities, as well as cities and unincorporated areas. The Company has formed four business reporting segments to provide solutions and services to different segments of the wireless industry. The Company's revenues are generated through our four business reporting segments: ENTERPRISE NETWORK SERVICES The Enterprise Network Services provides a turnkey design and implementation in the area of secure wireless broadband networks for regional banks. The acquisition of the assets of Skyvue USA East Central Texas, Inc., a Texas corporation ("Skyvue"), provided Enterprise Network Services with over three years of experience in designing, constructing, maintaining and monitoring enterprise-class wireless broadband networks for the regional banking industry in several areas of the country. Enterprise Network Services focus is on obtaining design and construction contracts with regional banks in conjunction with long term maintenance and monitoring contracts. Any monitoring contracts will be managed by the Company's Network Operations division. Additionally, once the Company has designed and constructed the wireless broadband networks for the banks, the Company plans to use the same network under a revenue sharing agreement with the banks to sell wireless broadband services to private entities, cities, municipalities and the general public in that region as part of its Bundled Wireless Services offering. Enterprise Network Services currently has long term maintenance contracts with three (3) banking networks. For the six months ended June 30, 2006 Enterprise Network Services contributed to 67% of the revenues of the Company and 53% of the losses attributable to the Company's business segments. BUNDLED WIRELESS SERVICES The Bundled Wireless Services was recently formed to provide wireless broadband products and services, including Internet, voice, data, security and video services throughout North America to serve private entities, cities, municipalities and the general public. The Bundled Wireless Services intends to focus on rural markets. The Company plans to offer these services by acquiring smaller established rural wireless broadband companies throughout North America. As of the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Bundled Wireless Services contributed to 4% of the revenues of the Company and 12% of the losses attributable to the Company's business segments. The Company is still in the early stages of developing the Bundled Wireless Services division. WIRELESS MESSAGING SERVICES The Wireless Messaging Services provides wireless broadband system design and implementation, manufactures and supplies high-power infrastructure equipment to the paging and mobile industry and owns and operates a wide-area messaging service (one- and two-way cellular and paging retail). Wireless Messaging Services implements and constructs new wireless broadband networks for the Company. Additionally, Wireless Messaging Services manufactures some paging equipment and has a retail outlet in San Antonio, Texas. The majority of Wireless Messaging Services' contracts are short term. 4 Wireless Messaging Services contributed 29% of the Company's revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 35% of the losses attributable to the Company's business segments. NETWORK OPERATIONS The Network Operations division was created to provide the overall day-to-day operation and 24/7 monitoring to all wireless broadband networks that the Wireless Messaging Services or Enterprise Networks Services divisions construct, acquire, maintain and administer. In addition, the Network Operations division may provide monitory for other third parties. As of the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Network Operations division's revenues and losses were not material. The Company is still in the early stages of developing the Network Operations division and there is no guarantee that it will be successful. CORPORATE HISTORY The Company was incorporated in Texas as Eastex Chemex Corporation in 1986 and changed its name to Fleetclean Systems, Inc. in 1990. In May 2004, Systom Trust Joint Venture effected a change of control transaction by purchasing from the then largest shareholder and his family 10,783,492 shares of Company common stock for $150,000 and acquiring 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock from the Company for $290,700. In September 2004, the Company changed its name to ERF Wireless, reincorporated in Nevada, and effected a 1-for-75 reverse split. Thereafter, the Company's common stock began trading under the new ticker symbol of ERFW on the Nasdaq OTC Electronic Bulletin Board. Unless otherwise reflected herein, all per share numbers give effect to this reverse split. In September 2004, the Company acquired all of the capital stock of Eagle R. F. International in exchange for 1,000,000 shares of its common stock; from a legal perspective, the capital structure of the Company was the surviving entity, while Eagle R.F. International was the surviving entity for accounting purposes.

You should carefully consider the following information about these risks, together with the other information contained in this prospectus, before you decide to buy our securities. WE HAVE A LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY WITH SIGNIFICANT LOSSES AND EXPECT LOSSES TO CONTINUE FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE. We have incurred annual operating losses since our inception. As a result, at June 30, 2006, we had an accumulated deficit of $8,589,000. Our gross revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2006, were $1,249,000, with a loss from operations of $2,194,000 and a net loss applicable to common shareholders of $2,324,000. As we pursue our business plan, we expect our operating expenses to increase significantly, especially in the areas of sales and marketing. As a result of these expected cost increases, we will need to generate increased revenues to become profitable. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that we will ever become or remain profitable. If our revenues fail to grow at anticipated rates or our operating expenses increase without a commensurate increase in our revenues, our financial condition will be adversely affected. Our inability to become profitable on a quarterly or annual basis would have a materially adverse effect on our business and financial condition. Also, the market price for our stock could fall. WE HAVE A LIMITED CASH AND LIQUIDITY POSITION AND WILL NEED TO RAISE ADDITIONAL FUNDS TO FUND OPERATIONS. As of June 30, 2006, we had cash balances of $32,000 and a working capital deficit of $2,163,000. We have historically financed our operations through private equity and debt financings. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, we did not generate positive cash flow from our operations. Depending on how our funds are deployed, we may need to raise additional capital as early as the fourth quarter of 2006. Moreover, we anticipate that we will need additional capital in the future to continue to expand our business operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Company completed a two-year unsecured revolving credit facility with certain shareholders providing up to $3 million line of credit to be used by ERF Wireless for funding general working capital, acquisitions and project financing, including the expansion of the Company's Enterprise Network Solutions being provided to the regional banking market sector. The terms of the two-year unsecured revolving credit facility allows ERF Wireless to draw upon the facility as financing requirements dictate and provides for quarterly interest payments at an annual 6% rate. The loan may be prepaid without penalty or repaid at maturity. We do not have any commitments for equity funding at this time, and additional funding may not be available to us on favorable terms, if at all. As such there is no assurance that we can raise additional capital from external sources, the failure of which could cause us to sell assets or curtail operations. OUR NET LOSS OF $3,141,000 IN FISCAL YEAR 2005 AND $2,194,000 THROUGH THE SECOND QUARTER OF FISCAL YEAR 2006 INDICATES THAT WE DO NOT EXPECT TO BE PROFITABLE DURING THE CURRENT FISCAL YEAR. We recorded a net loss of $3,141,000 during fiscal 2005 and $2,194,000 through the six months ended June 30, 2006. We anticipate our future expense levels may continue to increase as we attempt to expand our business operations. We do not expect to be profitable in the current fiscal year and, we may not achieve profitability in 2007 or thereafter. THE TERMS OF OUR DEBT OBLIGATIONS TO THE INVESTORS IN THE SEPTEMBER 2005 FINANCING SUBJECT US TO THE RISK OF FORECLOSURE OF CERTAIN OF OUR ASSETS. As of September 25, 2006, the remaining principal balance of the September 2005 financing was $1,303,070. To secure the payment of all obligations owed to the investors in the 2005 financings, we have granted to the investors a security interest and lien on certain of our assets. The occurrence of an event of default under any of our obligations would subject us to foreclosure by the investors to the extent necessary to repay any amounts due. If a foreclosure were to happen, it would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. Furthermore, we may not have sufficient funds to repay the investors when our debt obligations to them become due. We are not required to establish a sinking fund for the repayment of our debt to the investors. Accordingly, we may be required to obtain funds to repay the investors either through refinancing or the issuance of additional equity or debt securities. We may be unable to obtain the funds needed, if any, to repay the obligations from any one or more of these other sources on favorable economic terms or at all. 8 ADDITIONAL CAPITAL MAY DILUTE CURRENT STOCKHOLDERS. In order to provide capital for the operation of our business we may enter into additional financing arrangements. These arrangements may involve the issuance of new common stock, preferred stock that is convertible into common stock, debt securities that are convertible into common stock or warrants for the purchase of common stock. Any of these items could result in a material increase in the number of shares of common stock outstanding which would in turn result in a dilution of the ownership interest of existing common shareholders. In addition these new securities could contain provisions, such as priorities on distributions and voting rights, which could affect the value of our existing common stock. A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK MAY BE ISSUED DURING THE NEXT 12 MONTHS. THE ISSUANCE OF THESE SHARES WILL HAVE A DILUTIVE EFFECT ON OUR COMMON STOCK AND MAY LOWER OUR STOCK PRICE. We have reserved for issuance over the next twelve months the following: 1. 5,000,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the Company's 2004 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan, of which options to purchase 3,337,000 shares are outstanding as of September 25, 2006, 2. 1,686,677shares of common stock underlying outstanding common warrants, 3. 4,303,489 shares of common stock underlying convertible debt, 4. 1,160,542 shares of common stock underlying the E-Series Bond, 580,271 issubale upon conversion and 580,271 issuable upon exercise of warrants that are issuable upon conversion; and 5. 16,062,064 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock, in accordance with contractually imposed conversion restrictions. The weighted average purchase price per share of common stock upon the issuance of these derivative securities, as if converted on September 25, 2006, is approximately (i) $3.17 per share of common stock underling the options, (ii) 2.47 per share of common stock underling the warrants, (iii) $0.53 per share of common stock underling the convertible debt, (iv) $0.515 pre share of common stock underlying the E-Series Bond and $5.00 for the common stock underlying the warrant issuable upon conversion of the E-Series Bond; and (v) $0.03 per share of common stock underling the Series A Preferred Stock. Accordingly the issuance of these shares will have a dilutive effect from both a net tangible book value per share basis and from a number of shares of common stock outstanding basis. This overhang could have a depressive effect on our common stock price. THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK IS VERY VOLATILE AND THE VALUE OF YOUR INVESTMENT MAY BE SUBJECT TO SUDDEN DECREASES The trading price for our common stock has been, and we expect it to continue to be, volatile. For example, the closing bid price of our stock has fluctuated between $3.00 per share and $0.57 per share since January 1, 2006. The price at which our common stock trades depends upon a number of factors, including our historical and anticipated operating results and general market and economic conditions, which are beyond our control. Factors such as fluctuations in our financial and operating results, technological innovations or new commercial products and services by us or our competitors, could also cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially. In addition, the stock market has, from time to time, experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. These broad market fluctuations may lower the market price of our common stock. Moreover, during periods of stock market price volatility, share prices of many companies have often fluctuated in a manner not necessarily related to their operating performance. Accordingly, our common stock may be subject to greater price volatility than the stock market as a whole. A LOW MARKET PRICE MAY SEVERELY LIMIT THE POTENTIAL MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK Our common stock is currently trading at a price below $5.00 per share, subjecting trading in the stock to certain SEC rules requiring additional disclosures by broker-dealers. These rules generally apply to any non-NASDAQ equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions (a "penny stock"). Such rules require the delivery, prior to any penny stock transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated therewith and impose various sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and institutional or wealthy investors. For these types of transactions, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the sale. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to the broker-dealer, current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer's presumed control over the market. Such information must be provided to the customer orally or in writing before or with the written confirmation of trade sent to the customer. Monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements could discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our common stock. THE COMPANY'S REVENUE AND OPERATING RESULTS MAY FLUCTUATE SIGNIFICANTLY FROM QUARTER TO QUARTER, AND FLUCTUATIONS IN OPERATING RESULTS COULD CAUSE OUR STOCK PRICE TO DECLINE. 9 The Company's revenue and operating results may vary significantly from quarter to quarter due to a number of factors. In future quarters, operating results may be below the expectations of public market analysis or investors, and the price of our common stock may decline. Factors that could cause quarterly fluctuations include: o The Company's Enterprise Network Services subsidiary's ability to secure new regional banking network customers for both the construction and design of new broadband networks and for the maintenance and monitoring of these broadband networks. o The Company's Bundled Wireless Services Division's ability to acquire existing rural wireless broadband networks throughout North America and the ability to secure customers in the rural regions in which the Company acquires these wireless broadband networks. o The Company's Wireless Messaging Services Division's ability to keep current customers and secure new customers. o The Company's Network Operations Division's ability to acquire new customers through the Enterprise Network Services Division, the Bundled Wireless Services Division and third parties. o The Company's ability to raise the necessary capital to execute mergers, acquisitions and asset purchases, as needed to implement the Company's strategic plan. Accordingly, the failure to obtain significant future revenue, or lower than expected revenue in the future, could adversely affect our stock price and liquidity. WE COMPETE WITH MANY COMPANIES THAT ARE LARGER AND BETTER FINANCED THAN WE ARE, AND OUR GROWTH AND PROFITABILITY ARE DEPENDENT ON OUR ABILITY TO COMPETE WITH THESE ENTITIES. We face competition from many entities with significantly greater financial resources, well-established brand names and larger customer bases. We may become subject to severe price competition for our products and services as companies seek to enter our industry or current competitors attempt to gain market share. We expect competition to intensify in the future and expect significant competition from traditional and new telecommunications companies including, local, long distance, cable modem, Internet, digital subscriber line, microwave, mobile and satellite data providers. If we are unable to make or keep our products competitively priced and attain a larger market share in the markets in which our products compete, our levels of sales and our ability to achieve profitability may suffer. A SYSTEM FAILURE COULD DELAY OR INTERRUPT OUR ABILITY TO PROVIDE PRODUCTS OR SERVICES AND COULD INCREASE OUR COSTS AND REDUCE OUR REVENUES. Our operations are dependant upon our ability to support a highly complex network infrastructure. Many of our customers are particularly dependent on an uninterrupted supply of services. Any damage or failure that causes interruptions in our operations could result in loss of these customers. To date, we have not experienced any significant interruptions or delays which have affected our ability to provide products and services to our clients. Because our headquarters and infrastructure are located in the Texas Gulf Coast area, there is a likelihood that our operations may be affected by hurricanes or tropical storms, tornados, or flooding. The occurrence of a natural disaster, operational disruption or other unanticipated problem could cause interruptions in the services we provide and significantly impair our ability to generate revenue and achieve profitability. WE MUST CONTINUALLY ENHANCE OUR SERVICES TO MEET THE CHANGING NEEDS OF OUR CUSTOMERS OR FACE THE POSSIBILITY OF LOSING FUTURE BUSINESS TO COMPETITORS. Future success will depend upon the Company's ability to enhance existing services and to introduce new services to meet the requirements of customers in a rapidly developing and evolving market. Present or future services may not satisfy the needs of the market. If the Company is unable to anticipate or respond adequately to its customers' needs, lost business may result and financial performance will suffer. OUR INDUSTRY CHANGES RAPIDLY DUE TO EVOLVING TECHNOLOGY STANDARDS AND OUR FUTURE SUCCESS WILL DEPEND ON OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE TO MEET THE SOPHISTICATED NEEDS OF OUR CUSTOMERS. Our future success will depend on our ability to address the increasingly sophisticated needs of our customers. We will have to develop and introduce enhancements to our existing products and new products on a timely basis to keep pace with technological developments, evolving industry standards and changing customer requirements. We expect that we will have to respond quickly to rapid technological change, changing customer needs, frequent new product introductions and evolving industry standards that may render existing products and services obsolete. As a result, our position in existing markets or potential markets could be eroded rapidly by product advances. The life cycles of our products are difficult to estimate. Our growth and future financial performance will depend in part upon our ability to enhance existing applications, develop and introduce new applications that keep pace with technological advances, meet changing customer requirements and respond to competitive products. We expect that our product development efforts will continue to require substantial investments. We may not have sufficient resources to make the necessary investments. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our business, quarterly and annual operating results and financial condition. 10 WE DEPEND UPON OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND OUR FAILURE TO PROTECT EXISTING INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OR SECURE AND ENFORCE SUCH RIGHTS FOR NEW PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR FUTURE GROWTH AND SUCCESS. The Company's ability to successfully protect its proprietary technology is essential to its success. The Company intends to file trademark and patent applications to protect intellectual property rights for technology that it develops. The Company's future success also may depend upon its ability to obtain additional licenses for other intellectual properties. The Company may not be successful in acquiring additional intellectual property rights with significant commercial value on acceptable terms. Even if the Company is successful in acquiring such rights, it can provide no assurance that it will be successful in adapting or deploying them as to the timing or cost of such development efforts or as to the commercial success of the resulting products or services. OUR COMPETITORS MAY DEVELOP NON-INFRINGING PRODUCTS OR TECHNOLOGIES THAT ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR FUTURE GROWTH AND REVENUES. It is possible that our competitors will produce proprietary technologies similar to ours without infringing on our intellectual property rights. We also rely on unpatented proprietary technologies. It is possible that others will independently develop the same or similar technologies or otherwise obtain access to the unpatented technologies upon which we rely for future growth and revenues. Failure to meaningfully protect our trade secrets, know-how or other proprietary information could adversely affect our future growth and revenues. WE MAY INCUR SIGNIFICANT LITIGATION EXPENSES PROTECTING OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OR DEFENDING OUR USE OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, WHICH MAY HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR CASH FLOW. Significant litigation regarding intellectual property exists in our industry. Competitors and other third parties may infringe on our intellectual property rights. Alternatively, competitors may allege that we have infringed on their intellectual property rights, resulting in significant litigation expenses, which would reduce our cash flow. Any claims, even those made by third parties who are without merit, could: o be expensive and time consuming to defend, resulting in the diversion of management's attention and resources; o require us to cease making, licensing or using products or systems that incorporate the challenged intellectual property; or o require us to spend significant time and money to redesign, re-engineer or re-brand our products or systems if feasible. IF THE WIRELESS BROADBAND MARKET DOES NOT EVOLVE AS WE ANTICIPATE, OUR BUSINESS WILL BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED. If we fail to properly assess and address the broadband wireless market or if our products and services fail to achieve market acceptance for any reason, our business and quarterly and annual operating results would be materially adversely affected. Since the market for our products is still evolving, it is difficult to assess the competitive environment or the size of the market that may develop. In addition, technologies, customer requirements and industry standards may change rapidly. If we cannot improve or augment our products as rapidly as existing technologies, customer requirements and industry standards evolve, our products or services could become obsolete. The introduction of new or technologically superior products by competitors could also make our products less competitive or obsolete. As a result of any of these factors, our position in existing markets or potential markets could be eroded. WE MAY NOT BE SUCCESSFUL IN ACQUIRING OTHER EXISTING COMPANIES AND TECHNOLOGIES, WHICH COULD NEGATIVELY AFFECT OUR PRODUCT AND SERVICES OFFERINGS AND SALES. 11 Our business plan is dependent on acquiring existing companies and technologies that expand our business, augment our market coverage, enhance our technical capabilities, provide us with valuable customer contacts or otherwise offer growth opportunities, and we may not be able to make such acquisitions. These acquisitions are important to ensure that our products, services and technologies are compatible with third-party products and technologies, to enable us to sale or license our products and technologies to potential new customers and into potential new markets, and to enable us to continue to enter into new agreements with our existing customers. There can be no assurance that we will identify the best acquisitions for our business or enter into acquisitions of other companies on acceptable terms or at all. The failure to make strategic acquisitions could have a material adverse effect on our business or financial results. If we cannot make significant strategic acquisitions as our target markets and technology evolve, the sales opportunities for our products and technologies could deteriorate. FUTURE ACQUISITIONS COULD PROVE DIFFICULT TO INTEGRATE, DISRUPT OUR BUSINESS, DILUTE STOCKHOLDER VALUE AND STRAIN OUR RESOURCES. As part of our business strategy, we intend to seek to acquire companies and technologies that we believe could complement or expand our business, augment our market coverage, enhance our technical capabilities, provide us with valuable customer contacts or otherwise offer growth opportunities. If we fail to achieve the anticipated benefits of any acquisitions we complete, our business, operating results, financial condition and prospects may be impaired. Acquisitions and investments involve numerous risks, including: o difficulties in integrating operations, technologies, services, accounting and personnel; o difficulties in supporting and transitioning customers of our acquired companies to our technology platforms and business processes; o diversion of financial and management resources from existing operations; o difficulties in obtaining regulatory approval for technologies and products of acquired companies; o potential loss of key employees; o if we finance acquisitions by issuing convertible debt or equity securities, our existing stockholders may be diluted, which dilution could adversely affect the market price of our stock; o inability to generate sufficient revenues to offset acquisition or investment costs; and o potential write-offs of acquired assets. Acquisitions also frequently result in recording of goodwill and other intangible assets, which are subject to potential impairments in the future that could harm our operating results. It is also possible that at some point in the future we may decide to enter new markets, thus subjecting ourselves to new risks associated with those markets.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION AS OF JUNE 30, 2006, AND THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 2006 AND 2005, SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH OUR AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND NOTES THERETO INCLUDED IN OUR ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005, FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS 14 GENERAL We have adopted various accounting policies to prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Our estimates and assumptions, including those related to bad debts, inventories, intangible assets, sales returns and discounts, and income taxes are updated as appropriate. Certain of our more critical accounting policies require the application of significant judgment by management in selecting the appropriate assumptions for calculating financial estimates. By their nature, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. These judgments are based on our historical experience, terms of existing contracts, and our observance of trends in the industry, information provided by our customers, and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate. Different, reasonable estimates could have been used in the current period. Additionally, changes in accounting estimates are reasonably likely to occur from period to period. Both of these factors could have a material impact on the presentation of our financial condition, changes in financial condition or results of operations. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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. REVENUE RECOGNITION The Company's revenue is generated primarily from the sale of wireless communications products and services, including providing reliable enterprise-class wireless broadband services. For short term contracts, the Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is probable. The Company records revenues from its fixed-price, long-term contracts using the percentage-of-completion method. Revenues are recorded based on construction costs incurred to date as a percentage of estimated total cost at completion. The percentage-of-completion, determined by using total costs incurred to date as a percentage of estimated total costs at completion, reflects the actual physical completion of the project. This method of revenue recognition is used because management considers total cost to be the best available measure of progress on the contracts. The Company recognizes product sales generally at the time the product is shipped. Concurrent with the recognition of revenue, the Company provides for the estimated cost of product warranties and reduces revenue for estimated product returns. Sales incentives are generally classified as a reduction of revenue and are recognized at the later of when revenue is recognized or when the incentive is offered. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods sold. FIXED ASSETS Furniture and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The costs associated with normal maintenance, repair, and refurbishment of equipment are charged to expense as incurred. The capitalized cost of equipment and vehicles under capital leases is amortized over the lesser of the lease term or the asset's estimated useful life, and is included in depreciation and amortization expense in the consolidated statements of operations. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the costs and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is recognized as income for the period. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to income as incurred; significant renewals and betterments are capitalized. Deductions are made for retirements resulting from renewals or betterments. 15 LONG-LIVED ASSETS We review our long-lived assets, to include intangible assets subject to amortization, for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such long-lived asset or group of long-lived assets (collectively referred to as the "asset") may not be recoverable. Such circumstances include, but are not limited to: o a significant decrease in the market price of the asset; o a significant change in the extent or manner in which the asset is being used; o a significant change in the business climate that could affect the value of the asset; o a current period loss combined with projection of continuing loss associated with use of the asset; o a current expectation that, more likely than not, the asset will be sold or otherwise disposed of before the end of its previously estimated useful life. We continually evaluate whether such events and circumstances have occurred. When such events or circumstances exist, the recoverability of the asset's carrying value shall be determined by estimating the undiscounted future cash flows (cash inflows less associated cash outflows) that are directly associated with and that are expected to arise as a direct result of the use and eventual disposition of the asset. To date, no such impairment has occurred. To the extent such events or circumstances occur that could affect the recoverability of our long-lived assets, we may incur charges for impairment in the future. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK Trade accounts receivable are concentrated with companies or entities in the regional banking and Internet services industry. Accordingly, the credit risk associated with the trade accounts receivable will fluctuate with the overall condition of the regional banking and Internet services industries. The primary component of accounts receivable relates to the Company's estimates of regional banking wireless broadband network and Internet services revenues. As a result, such estimates are based on the Company's historical collection experience and accounts receivable does reflect a general or specific provision for an allowance for doubtful accounts. During all periods presented, credit losses, to the extent identifiable, were within management's overall expectations. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS In connection with the sale of debt or equity instruments, we may sell options or warrants to purchase our common stock. In certain circumstances, these options or warrants may be classified as derivative liabilities, rather than as equity. Additionally, the debt or equity instruments may contain embedded derivative instruments, such as embedded derivative features, which in certain circumstances may be required to be bifurcated from the associated host instrument and accounted for separately as a derivative instrument liability. The identification of, and accounting for, derivative instruments is complex. Our derivative instrument liabilities are re-valued at the end of each reporting period, with changes in the fair value of the derivative liability recorded as charges or credits to income, in the period in which the changes occur. For options, warrants and bifurcated embedded derivative features that are accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities, we estimate fair value using either quoted market prices of financial instruments with similar characteristics or other valuation techniques. The valuation techniques require assumptions related to the remaining term of the instruments and risk-free rates of return, our current common stock price and expected dividend yield, and the expected volatility of our common stock price over the life of the option. Because of the limited trading history for our common stock, we have estimated the future volatility of our common stock price based on not only the history of our stock price but also the experience of other entities considered comparable to us. The identification of, and accounting for, derivative instruments and the assumptions used to value them can significantly affect our financial statements. 16 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2006; COMPARED TO THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2005.

The Company has funded operations to date through a combination of utilizing cash on hand, issuing common stock to settle certain current liabilities and raising additional capital through the sale of its securities. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Company completed a two-year unsecured revolving credit facility with certain shareholders providing for a $2 million line of credit to be used for funding general working capital, acquisitions and project financing, including the Enterprise Network Solutions being provided to the regional banking market sector. The terms of the two-year unsecured revolving credit facility will allow us to draw upon the facility as financing requirements dictate and provides for quarterly interest payments at an annual 6% rate. The loan may be prepaid without penalty or repaid at maturity. In the event that the Company draws down the full $2 million amount available under the revolving note dated February 2006 on or prior to December 31, 2006, and if the Company requires additional working capital to pursue its business strategy and operations, Angus Capital Partners agrees to fund on a requested basis an additional $1 million during 2006 under the same terms and conditions as set forth in the revolving note. The Company as of June 30, 2006 has utilized $839,000 against this line of credit. Depending on how our funds are deployed, we may need to raise additional capital as early as the fourth quarter of 2006. Furthermore, we anticipate that we will need additional capital in the future to continue to expand our business operations, which expenditures may include the following: 18 o Acquisitions of one or more companies, networks or other assets o Investment in towers, radios, customer premise equipment and other related equipment associated with wireless broadband expansion plans o Investment in back office systems and related infrastructure to support the Company's wireless broadband expansion plans o Investment in laboratory facilities including test and simulation equipment o Investment or licensing of certain intellectual property related to the Company's wireless broadband expansion plans o General working capital purposes The Company's operations for the six months ended June 30, 2006, were primarily funded by investor advances of $130,000, proceeds from line of credit of $1,639,000 and proceeds received from the Company's private placement and exercise options of $118,000 from common stock net of commissions. Other than the credit facility with Angus Capital Partners, we do not have any significant credit facilities available with financial institutions or other third parties and as such we must rely upon best efforts third-party funding from individual accredited investors. During the second quarter ended June 30, 2006, the Company has offered a Private Placement Memorandum of E-Series Bonds up to $2.5 million in units consisting of a $25,000 10% three year bond to a limited number of accredited investors. The Bonds are due and payable upon maturity at the end of the three year period. Interest on the Bonds is payable at a rate of 10% per annum and is semi-annually. As of June 30, 2006 the Company has sold Bonds totaling $300,000. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising any funds from any of these debt or equity offerings or from any future best efforts financing efforts. If we are unable to either obtain financing from external sources or generate internal liquidity from anticipated future operations, we may need to curtail acquisition plans and operations.

A decrease in current years allowance for doubtful accounts was attributable to collection of prior year accounts receivable which were deemed uncollectible in 2004. OTHER (INCOME) EXPENSE, NET The increase in other (income) expense is primarily attributable to derivative instruments expense of $151,000. This expense represents the net unrealized (non-cash) charge during the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 in the fair value of our derivative instrument liabilities related to warrants and embedded derivatives in our debt instruments that have been bifurcated and accounted for separately. Additionally interest associated with the new debt increase to $164,000 during the year. NET LOSS For the twelve months ended December 31, 2005, our net loss was $3,411,000 compared to a loss of $719,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004. The increase in the loss for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 as compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2004, was attributable to the factors discussed immediately above. 20 NET LOSS APPLICABLE TO COMMON SHAREHOLDERS For the twelve months ended December 31, 2005, our net loss was $4,753,000 compared to a loss of $1,467,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004. The Company's Net Loss Applicable to common shareholders included deemed dividends on the beneficial conversion of the 1,894,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock that was limited to the amount of consideration received totaling $1,342,000 in the year ended December 31, 2005.

The Company's contractual obligations consist of certain off-balance-sheet obligations for office space operating leases requiring future minimal commitments under non-cancelable leases. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ('FASB') issued interpretation No. 46 ('FIN 46') 'Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.' Until this interpretation, a company generally included another entity in its consolidated financial statements only if it controlled the entity through voting interests. FIN 46 requires a variable interest entity, as defined, to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entity's activities or entitled to receive a majority of the entity's residual returns. Certain provisions of FIN 46 became effective during the quarter ended March 31, 2004, the adoption of which did not have a material impact on the financial position, cash flows or results of operations of the Company. In April 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force ('EITF') issued Statement No. 03-06 'Participating Securities and the Two-Class Method Under FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings Per Share ' ('EITF 03-06'). EITF 03-06 addresses a number of questions regarding the computation of earnings per share by companies that have issued securities other than common stock that contractually entitle the holder to participate in dividends and earnings of the company when, and if, it declares dividends on its common stock. The issue also provides further guidance in applying the two-class method of calculating earnings per share, clarifying what constitutes a participating security and how to apply the two-class method of computing earnings per share once it is determined that a security is participating, including how to allocate undistributed earnings to such a security. EITF 03-06 became effective during the quarter ended June 30, 2004, the adoption of which did not have an impact on the calculation of earnings per share of the Company. In July 2004, the EITF issued a draft abstract for EITF Issue No. 04-08, 'The Effect of Contingently Convertible Debt on Diluted Earnings per Share' ('EITF 04-08'). EITF 04-08 reflects the Task Force's tentative conclusion that contingently convertible debt should be included in diluted earnings per share computations regardless of whether the market price trigger has been met. If adopted, the consensus reached by the Task Force in this Issue will be effective for reporting periods ending after December 15, 2004. Prior period earnings per share amounts presented for comparative purposes would be required to be restated to conform to this consensus and the Company would be required to include the shares issuable upon the conversion of the Notes in the diluted earnings per share computation for all periods during which the Notes are outstanding. Since the first quarter of 2004, the Company has included the shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes in its computation of diluted earnings per share. In September 2004, the EITF delayed the effective date for the recognition and measurement guidance previously discussed under EITF Issue No. 03-01, 'The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments' ('EITF 03-01') as included in paragraphs 10-20 of the proposed statement. The proposed statement will clarify the meaning of other-than-temporary impairment and its application to investments in debt and equity securities, in particular investments within the scope of FASB Statement No. 115, 'Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,' and investments accounted for under the cost method. Currently, there would be no effect of this proposed statement on its financial position and results of operations. 21 In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of SFAS No. 123, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION. Statement 123R supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK ISSUED TO EMPLOYEES, and amends FASB Statement No. 95, STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS. Generally, the approach on Statement 123R is similar to the approach described in Statement 123. However, Statement 123R REQUIRES all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. SFAS 123R eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using APB 25 and generally requires such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. SFAS 123R's effective date would be applicable for awards that are granted, modified, become vested, or settled in cash in interim or annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005. SFAS 123R includes three transition methods: one that provides for prospective application and two that provide for retrospective application. The Company intends to adopt SFAS 123R prospectively commencing in the third quarter of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005. It is expected that the adoption of SFAS 123R will cause the Company to record, as expense each quarter, a non-cash accounting charge approximating the fair value of such share based compensation meeting the criteria outlined in the provisions of SFAS 123R. In June 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, ACCOUNTING CHANGES AND ERROR CORRECTIONS, which will require entities that voluntarily make a change in accounting principle to apply that change retrospectively to prior periods' financial statements, unless this would be impracticable. SFAS No. 154 supersedes APB Opinion No.20, ACCOUNTING CHANGES, which previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in the current period's net income the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 also makes a distinction between "retrospective application" of an accounting principle and the "restatement" of financial statements to reflect the correction of an error. Another significant change in practice under SFAS No. 154 will be that if an entity changes its method of depreciation, amortization, or depletion for long-lived, non-financial assets, the change must be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate. Under APB No. 20, such a change would have been reported as a change in accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 applies to accounting changes and error corrections that are made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. In December 2004, the FASB issued a revision to SFAS 123 (also known as SFAS 123R) that amends existing accounting pronouncements for share-based payment transactions in which an enterprise receives employee and certain non-employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the enterprise or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise's equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. SFAS 123R eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using APB 25 and generally requires such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. SFAS 123R's effective date would be applicable for awards that are granted, modified, become vested, or settled in cash in interim or annual periods beginning after December 15, 2005. SFAS 123R includes three transition methods: a prospective method, a modified prospective method and a retroactive method. The Company intends to adopt SFAS 123R prospectively commencing in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005. It is expected that the adoption of SFAS 123R will cause the Company to record as expense each quarter a non-cash accounting charge approximating the fair value of such share-based compensation meeting the criteria outlined in the provisions of SFAS 123R. In April 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") issued Statement No. 03-06, "Participating Securities and the Two-Class Method Under FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings Per Share" ("EITF 03-06"). EITF 03-06 addresses a number of questions regarding the computation of earnings per share by companies that have issued securities other than common stock that contractually entitle the holder to participate in dividends and earnings of the company when, and if, it declares dividends on its common stock. The issue also provides further guidance in applying the two-class method of calculating earnings per share, clarifying what constitutes a participating security and how to apply the two-class method of computing earnings per share once it is determined that a security is participating, including how to allocate undistributed earnings to such a security. EITF 03-06 became effective during the quarter ended June 30, 2004, the adoption of which did not have an impact on the calculation of earnings per share of the Company. In July 2004, the EITF issued a draft abstract for EITF Issue No. 04-08, "The Effect of Contingently Convertible Debt on Diluted Earnings per Share" ("EITF 04-08"). EITF 04-08 reflects the Task Force's tentative conclusion that contingently convertible debt should be included in diluted earnings per share computations regardless of whether the market price trigger has been met. If adopted, the consensus reached by the Task Force in this issue will be effective for reporting periods ending after December 15, 2004. Prior period earnings per share amounts presented for comparative purposes would be required to be restated to conform to this consensus and the Company would be required to include the shares issuable upon the conversion of the Notes in the diluted earnings per share computation for all periods during which the Notes are outstanding. Since the first quarter of 2004, the Company has included the shares issuable upon conversion of the debt in its computation of diluted earnings per share. In September 2004, the EITF delayed the effective date for the recognition and measurement guidance previously discussed under EITF Issue No. 03-01, "The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments," ("EITF 03-01") as included in paragraphs 10-20 of the proposed statement. The proposed statement will clarify the meaning of other-than-temporary impairment and its application to investments in debt and equity securities, in particular investments within the scope of FASB Statement No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," and investments accounted for under the cost method. Currently, there would be no effect of this proposed statement on its financial position and results of operations. 22 We have adopted FASB Statement 128. It is not expected that we will be impacted by other recently issued standards. FASB Statement 128 presents new standards for computing and presenting earnings per share (EPS). The Statement is effective for financial statements for both interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 1997. We have adopted FASB Statement 131. FASB statement 131 presents standards for disclosures about segment reporting INFLATION The Company's results of operations have not been affected by inflation and management does not expect inflation to have a significant effect on its operations in the future. OUR BUSINESS ERF Wireless provides wireless communications products and services with an emphasis on providing reliable, high-speed wireless broadband services. The core focus of the Company is the acquisition and/or construction of strategically placed wireless broadband networks to provide delivery of reliable, bundled high-speed wireless broadband services including Internet data, voice, security and limited video services for enterprise, commercial, residential and private entities, as well as cities and unincorporated areas. The Company has formed four business reporting segments to provide solutions and services to different segments of the wireless industry: (i) Enterprise Network Services; (ii) Bundled Wireless Services; (iii) Wireless Messaging Services; and (iv) Network Operations. OUR MARKET AND BUSINESS STRATEGY The market for wireless broadband product and service revenue has grown dramatically over the past few years and is expected to dominate all wireless markets over the next ten years. Wireless broadband is very well suited for niche market development in that it provides a truly versatile broadband communication medium that is cheaper than a wired solution, is faster to implement and can be configured for one or more applications. Given the wireless technology gains and the Federal Communications Commission's ("FCC") recent adoption of an order to restructure frequencies within one of the several bands used for wireless broadband communication, we firmly believe that wireless broadband will become a "third pipe" as both an alternative and extension to DSL and cable modem services, the two chief means of delivering high-speed Internet and data service today. Historically, broadband wireless has been in use for several years, but only with the advent of industry standards has it been possible to link the many small systems that have grown up into a much more robust wide-area network that will accelerate the growth of the wireless broadband industry. The potential market reach for the Company's products and services for the regional banking vertical market extends nationwide and initially consists of financial institutions between $200 million and $15 billion in assets with at least 5 branches. To date, the Company has completed five BranchNet (the wideband data networks required between branch banks and the central bank) bank networks in three states and is currently completing construction of its fifth BranchNet network for a bank in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The Company is focusing its initial marketing efforts at certain Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama banks where potential tax savings of over $100,000 on a typical BranchNet purchase may be provided to such banks by the Gulf Opportunity ("GO") Zone Act of 2005. Banks in Texas and Florida are also being targeted early on due to the likelihood of wide-scale hurricane related disasters in those states as well. Over time, the Company also plans to expand its offering to provide wireless broadband product and service solutions to other large vertical markets where high bandwidth and secure communications are needed (such as hospitals, schools, law enforcement, etc.), especially in areas where it can leverage the excess capacity in network infrastructure already constructed and paid for by its bank customers. The Company has recently acquired several small wireless broadband networks in key underserved regions. Over time, the Company anticipates that it will expand by both organic growth and acquisition in areas where its banking network subsidiary has sold BranchNet networks so that the Company can capitalize on the wireless network infrastructure it constructs for its bank customers. For example, the Company is negotiating agreements with its bank customers to use the bank's network backbone on a revenue sharing basis to sell wireless broadband services to schools, hospitals, businesses, municipal entities and residential customers in the region covered by that bank's BranchNet network with little or no additional infrastructure cost to the Company. 23 ERF WIRELESS' PRODUCTS AND SERVICES Enterprise Network Services Enterprise Network Services provides a turnkey design and implementation in the area of secure wireless broadband networks for regional banks. The acquisition of the assets of Skyvue USA provided Enterprise Network Services with over three years of experience in designing, constructing, maintaining and monitoring enterprise-class wireless broadband networks for the regional banking industry in several areas of the country. This application of wireless broadband technology provides regional financial institutions, with between ten and one hundred branches, a cost-effective way to replace all of their recurring T1 and other telephone company costs. The resulting encrypted wireless broadband network connects all of their branches to the central bank and can provide up to 45 Mbps of continuous bandwidth as compared to the typical 1.4 Mbps of a T1 connection from the telephone company. The Enterprise Network Services wireless network design is strictly for WAN point-to-point connectivity and is not intended for "within the building" wireless applications. Once in place, this enterprise-class wireless network not only replaces all of the data connectivity requirements between locations, but also has the excess capacity to provide VoIP telephone service, video surveillance, document imaging and Internet connectivity for all of the enterprise locations. In order to satisfy the security concerns of banking regulators, Enterprise Network Services has developed a unique and proprietary encryption device (CryptoVue), consisting of hardware and software, as well as an integrated security protocol and 24x7 monitoring. The wireless broadband radio equipment deployed by Enterprise Network Services is a special commercially-hardened version of the Motorola Canopy Wireless Platform configured to form point-to-point and point-to-multipoint network connections for financial institutions that can be used in wireless backhaul, bridging and other data applications. The point-to-point configuration can span distances of up to 35 miles. Distances of greater than 35 miles can be covered by daisy chaining the units across multiple relay towers. The point-to-point systems generally operate at 5.7 GHz and a raw data rate of 10 Mbps, 20 Mbps or 45 Mbps with measurable data throughput rates of 7+ Mbps, 14+ Mbps and 31+ Mbps, respectively. Motorola also offers a 5.2-GHz point-to-point and point-to-multipoint system that ERF Wireless deploys on short-haul segments up to a distance of 10 miles. Enterprise Network Services focuses on obtaining design and construction contracts with regional banks in conjunction with long-term maintenance and monitoring contracts. Any monitoring contracts will be managed by our Network Operations Services Division. Additionally, once the Company has designed and constructed the wireless broadband networks for the banks, the Company plans to use the same network under revenue sharing agreement with the banks to sell wireless broadband services to private entities, cities, municipalities and the general public in that region as part of its Bundled Wireless Services Division. Bundled Wireless Services Bundled Wireless Services was recently formed to provide wireless broadband products and services, including Internet, voice, data, security and video services throughout North America to serve private entities, cities, municipalities and the general public. These services will be provided to both commercial and retail customers throughout the coverage area where ERF Wireless owns wireless broadband networks or operates wireless broadband networks. The Company plans to offer these services by acquiring smaller established rural wireless broadband companies or entering into partnership or revenue-sharing agreements with other wireless broadband network providers throughout North America. Bundled Wireless Services will operate primarily in the rural markets which tend to be underserved by the major telephone and cable companies and where wireless broadband can offer a distinct cost advantage over other forms of broadband connectivity. The Bundled Wireless Services Division will have mostly short-term month-to-month contracts. Wireless Messaging Services Wireless Messaging Services provides wireless broadband system design and implementation, manufacturers and supplies high-power infrastructure equipment to the paging and mobile industry and owns and operates a wide-area messaging service (one- and two-way cellular and paging retail). Wireless Messaging Services implements and constructs new wireless broadband networks for the Company. Wireless Messaging Services manufactures some paging equipment and has a retail outlet in San Antonio, Texas. 24 The wireless broadband system design and implementation function is a service that Wireless Messaging Systems provides on a contract basis to other divisions and subsidiaries of ERF Wireless, as well as other outside organizations. The manufacturing and supply of high-power wireless infrastructure equipment under the ERF Wireless brand is accomplished primarily at the ERF Wireless corporate facility in League City, Texas, although some components are sourced from offshore locations. The product line consists of a variety of power amplifiers, transmitters and base stations ranging in power from 50 to 500 watts and covering all of the major frequency bands of the wireless messaging industry. In addition, ERF Wireless has developed unique technology that allows for full hot switching of redundant wireless equipment where such requirements are necessary. Although paging has seen a steady decline from its peak in the late 1990s, it continues to provide a stable communications platform for many B-to-B applications such as service providers, hospitals, construction workers and commercial contractors. Network Operation Services Network Operations Services Division was created to provide the overall day-to-day operation and 24/7 monitoring to all wireless broadband networks that the Wireless Messaging Services or Enterprise Networks Services divisions construct, acquire, maintain and administer. In addition, the Network Operations Services Division may provide monitoring for other third parties. This service function is conducted from the state-of-the-art Network Operations Center facility located at the ERF Wireless corporate headquarters in League City, Texas. The Network Operations Center is typically a support facility to all of the other divisions and subsidiaries of ERF Wireless, providing the capability to quickly locate and repair a network problem in any of the wireless broadband networks that ERF Wireless owns or operates. The Network Operations Center not only has the capability to determine the source of a network problem, but is also the ERF Wireless division tasked with the responsibility of dispatching ERF Wireless Network Operations maintenance technicians or local area subcontractor technicians when maintenance or service requirements dictate. COMPETITION We compete for subscription revenues with multiple companies providing Internet services on a nationwide basis, discount ISPs and smaller regional ISPs. We also compete with companies that provide Internet access via narrowband and broadband technologies, such as Internet access providers, cable companies and telephone companies. Like us, other companies offer some of the same Internet connectivity services to their customers. We face competition in developing technologies, and risks from potential new developments in distribution technologies and equipment in Internet access. In particular, we face competition from developments in the following types of Internet access distribution technologies or equipment: broadband distribution technologies used in cable Internet access services; advanced personal computer-based access services offered through DSL technologies offered by local telecommunications companies; other advanced digital services offered by wireless companies; television-based interactive services; personal digital assistants or handheld computers; and enhanced mobile phones. We must keep pace with these developments and also ensure that we either have comparable and compatible technology or access to distribution technologies developed or owned by third parties. The Company also contemplates that it will enter into the local and long distance telecommunications market with Voice over Internet Protocol services. As we enter these markets, we will be entering a highly competitive industry dominated by large well funded incumbent providers. We are planning to target our local and long distance capabilities in the market where we are already providing wireless broadband Internet services. Those markets are also characterized by competition that includes smaller regional telecommunications providers. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY; PROPRIETARY RIGHTS AND LICENSES Our success depends to a significant degree on our methodologies and software applications. Other than the patent application, we do not have any patents, registered copyrights or registered trademarks. We rely, instead, on laws protecting trade secrets, common law rights with respect to copyrights and trademarks, as well as non-disclosure and other contractual agreements to protect proprietary rights. There can be no guarantee that those laws, and the procedures initiated to protect our business, will prevent misappropriation of our proprietary software and web site applications. In addition, those protections do not preclude competitors from developing products with similar features as those of ERF Wireless. Although we believe our products and services are unique and do not infringe upon the proprietary rights of others, there can be no assurance that infringement claims will not be brought against us in the future. Any such claim could result in costly litigation or have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. 25 The Company filed a patent application on its CryptoVue intellectual property in March 2006. The abstract of the patent application filing included the secure, triple-controlled system for data over a network, which protects against data theft or alteration by one or more ("e.g., two") corrupt insiders working together with outsiders. A combination of dual-control tamper-resistant routers, physical hardware keys and encryption keys enforces what the Company believes to be best practice security protocols with thorough auditing. A remote monitoring center provides a third level of control along with remote auditing and detailed change-control alerts. The Company can provide no assurance that it will be successful in obtaining a patent on its intellectual property. GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION Our wireless Internet access products currently operate in unlicensed spectrum and we expect that such spectrum will remain unlicensed. We provide Internet access, in part, using telecommunications services provided by third-party carriers. Terms, conditions and prices for telecommunications services are subject to economic regulation by state and federal agencies. As an Internet access provider, we are not currently subject to direct economic regulation by the FCC or any state regulatory body, other than the type and scope of regulation that is applicable to businesses generally. In April 1998, the FCC reaffirmed that Internet access providers should be classified as unregulated "information service providers" rather than regulated "telecommunications providers" under the terms of the 1996 Act. As a result, we are not subject to federal regulations applicable to telephone companies and similar carriers merely because we provide our services using telecommunications services provided by third-party carriers. To date, no state has attempted to exercise economic regulation over Internet access providers. Governmental regulatory approaches and policies to Internet access providers and others that use the Internet to facilitate data and communication transmissions are continuing to develop and, in the future, we could be exposed to regulation by the FCC or other federal agencies or by state regulatory agencies or bodies. In this regard, the FCC has expressed an intention to consider whether to regulate providers of voice and fax services that employ the Internet, or IP, switching as "telecommunications providers," even though Internet access itself would not be regulated. The FCC is also considering whether providers of Internet-based telephone services should be required to contribute to the universal service fund, which subsidizes telephone service for rural and low-income consumers, or should pay carrier access charges on the same basis as applicable to regulated telecommunications providers. To the extent that we engage in the provision of Internet or Internet protocol-based telephony or fax services, we may become subject to regulations promulgated by the FCC or states with respect to such activities. We cannot assure you that these regulations, if adopted, would not adversely affect our ability to offer certain enhanced business services in the future. Due to the increasing popularity and use of the Internet by broad segments of the population, it is possible that laws and regulations may be adopted with respect to the Internet pertaining to content of Web sites, privacy, pricing, encryption standards, consumer protection, electronic commerce, taxation, and copyright infringement and other intellectual property issues. No one is able to predict the effect, if any, that any future regulatory changes or developments may have on the demand for our Internet access or other Internet-related services. Changes in the regulatory environment relating to the Internet access industry, including the enactment of laws or promulgation of regulations that directly or indirectly affect the costs of telecommunications access or that increase the likelihood or scope of competition from national or regional telephone companies, could materially and adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition. Our future telecommunications business is subject to regulations under both state and federal telecommunications laws which are fluid and rapidly changing. On the state level, rules and policies are set by each state's Public Utility Commission or Public Service Commission (collectively, PUC). At the federal level, the Federal Communication Commission (FCC), among other agencies, dictates the rules and policies which govern interstate communications providers. The FCC is also the main agency in charge of creating rules and regulations to implement the 1996 Telecommunications Act (the "1996 Act"). The 1996 Act opened the local telecommunications markets to competition by mandating the elimination of many legal, regulatory, economic and operational barriers to competitive entry. These changes provide us with new opportunities to provide local telephone services on a more cost-effective basis. The FCC has granted direct broadcast satellite (DBS) and multi-channel, multi-point distribution service (MMDS) operator rights on a national basis similar to the mandatory access provided to franchise cable operators in some state and local jurisdictions. The FCC has adopted rules prohibiting homeowners associations, manufactured housing parks and state and local governments from imposing any restriction on a property owner that impairs the owner's installation, maintenance or use of DBS and MMDS antennas one meter or less in diameter or diagonal measurement. We do not believe our business will be significantly impacted by these rights. EMPLOYEES As of September 25, 2006, we employ 30 full-time employees and 12 consultants. We have no collective bargaining agreements with our employees. 26 CUSTOMERS Our Enterprise Network Services subsidiary customers consist of regional banking networks. Our Wireless Messaging Services Division focuses on a diversified base of customers and end users consisting of service providers, government agencies, businesses and other enterprises. Our Bundled Wireless Services Division will focus mostly on servicing private entities, cities, municipalities, and the general public in rural areas. Our Network Operations Services Division's customers will be the customers of both the Enterprise Network Services and Bundled Wireless Services divisions. The Company had two customers that represented approximately 44% and 13% of gross sales for the six months ended June 30, 2006. During the year ended December 31, 2006, two customers represented 11% and 27% of the Company's gross sales. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT We rely on the providers of the products we sell to upgrade their products through research and development. Consequently, we do not perform research and development and we have not incurred any research and development costs during the two previous fiscal years and do not anticipate incurring any such costs in the current fiscal year.

For purposes of presentation, we have assumed that the selling stockholders will convert all indebtedness and exercise all warrants, that all shares are sold pursuant to this offering and that no other shares of common stock are acquired or disposed of by the selling shareholders prior to the termination of this offering. Because the selling shareholders may sell all, some or none of their shares of may acquire or dispose of other shares of common stock, we cannot estimate the aggregate number of shares which will be sold in this offering or the number or percentage of shares of common stock that each selling security holder will own upon completion of this offering. Each selling stockholder acquired the shares to be sold by the selling stockholder in the ordinary course of business and, at the time of acquisition of the shares, no selling stockholder had any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, to distribute the shares. For purposes of this table, the Company used a conversion price of $0.24 per share for the September 2005 convertible note, which were determined by using the conversion price for the convertible debt as if the debt was converted on September 29, 2006. The actual number of shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of the convertible debt is subject to adjustment depending on amount, other factors, and the future market price of the common stock, and could be materially less or more than the number estimated in the table. ------------------------------ --------------- -------------- -------------- ------------------- ------------- SHARES BENEFICIALLY % OWNERSHIP SHARES % OWNERSHIP STOCKHOLDER OWNED BEFORE BEFORE BENEFICIALLY OWNED AFTER OFFERING OFFERING AMOUNT OFFERED AFTER OFFERING OFFERING ------------------------------ --------------- -------------- -------------- ------------------- ------------- Global Capital Funding Group, L.P.

An interested shareholder is a person who (i) directly or indirectly beneficially owns 10% or more of the voting power of the outstanding voting shares of the corporation or (ii) an affiliate or associate of the corporation which at any time within three years before the date in question was the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of the corporation. A corporation to which the statute applies may not engage in a combination within three years after the interested shareholder acquired its shares, unless the combination or the interested shareholder's acquisition of shares was approved by the board of directors before the interested shareholder acquired the shares. If this approval was not obtained, then after the three-year period expires, the combination may be consummated if all the requirements in the corporation's Articles of Incorporation are met and either (a)(i) the board of directors of the corporation approves, prior to the "interested shareholder's" date of acquiring shares, or as to which the purchase of shares by the "interested shareholder" has been approved by the corporation's board of directors before that date or (ii) the combination is approved by the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of voting power not beneficially owned by the "interested shareholder" at a meeting called no earlier than three years after the date the "interested shareholder" became such or (b) the aggregate amount of cash and the market value of consideration other than cash to be received by holders of common shares and holders of any other class or series of shares meets the minimum requirements set forth in Sections 78.411 through 78.443 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, inclusive, and prior to the consummation of the combination, except in limited circumstances, the "interested shareholder" will not have become the beneficial owner of additional voting shares of the corporation. 41 Nevada law permits a Nevada corporation to "opt out" of the application of the Business Combinations statute by inserting a provision doing so in its original Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws. We have not inserted such a provision our Articles of Incorporation or our Bylaws. The Articles may be amended at any time to subject us to the effect of the "Business Combinations" statutes. Under Nevada law, our Articles of Incorporation may be amended pursuant to a resolution adopted by our Board of Directors and ratified by a vote of a majority of the voting power of our outstanding voting stock. Nevada's "Control Share Acquisition" statute, Sections 78.378 through 78.3793 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, prohibits an acquiror, under certain circumstances, from voting shares of a target corporation's stock after crossing certain threshold ownership percentages, unless the acquiror obtains the approval of the target corporation's shareholders. The statute specifies three thresholds: at least one-fifth but less than one-third, at least one-third but less than a majority, and a majority or more, of all the outstanding voting power. Once an acquiror crosses one of the above thresholds, shares, which it acquired in the transaction taking it over the threshold or within ninety days become "Control Shares" which are deprived of the right to vote until a majority of the disinterested shareholders restore that right. A special shareholders' meeting may be called at the request of the acquiror to consider the voting rights of the acquiror's shares no more than 50 days (unless the acquiror agrees to a later date) after the delivery by the acquiror to the corporation of an information statement which sets forth the range of voting power that the acquiror has acquired or proposes to acquire and certain other information concerning the acquiror and the proposed control share acquisition. If no such request for a shareholders' meeting is made, consideration of the voting rights of the acquiror's shares must be taken at the next special or annual shareholders' meeting. If the shareholders fail to restore voting rights to the acquiror or if the acquiror fails to timely deliver an information statement to the corporation, then the corporation may, if so provided in its Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, call certain of the acquiror's shares for redemption. The Control Share Acquisition statute also provides that the shareholders who do not vote in favor of restoring voting rights to the Control Shares may demand payment for the "fair value" of their shares (which is generally equal to the highest price paid in the transaction subjecting the shareholder to the statute). The Control Share Acquisition statute only applies to Nevada corporations with at least 200 shareholders, including at least 100 shareholders who have addresses in Nevada appearing on the stock ledger of the corporation, and which do business directly or indirectly in Nevada. We do not have at least 100 shareholders who have addresses in Nevada appearing on our stock ledger. Therefore, the Control Share Acquisition statute does not currently apply to us. If the "Business Combination" statute and/or the "Control Share Acquisition" statute becomes applicable to us in the future, the cumulative effect of these terms may be to make it more difficult to acquire and exercise control over us and to make changes in management more difficult. CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION. Our certificate of incorporation provides for the authorization of our board of directors to issue, without further action by the stockholders, up to 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions on the preferred stock. These provisions are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of our board of directors and in the policies formulated by our board of directors and to discourage transactions that may involve an actual or threatened change of control of ERF Wireless. These provisions are designed to reduce the vulnerability of ERF Wireless to an unsolicited proposal for a takeover of ERF Wireless. However, these provisions could discourage potential acquisition proposals and could delay or prevent a change in control of ERF Wireless. These provisions may also have the effect of preventing changes in the management of ERF Wireless. TRANSFER AGENT The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Olde Monmouth Stock Transfer Co., Inc. 42 DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES Our Certificate of Incorporation provides our directors with protection for breaches of their fiduciary duties to us or our stockholders. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons as provided in the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities, other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by a director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. EXPERTS The financial statements appearing in this registration statement for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 have been audited by LBB &Associates, Ltd., LLP (formally Lopez, Blevins, Bork and Associates, LLP) ("LBB"), independent auditors. These financial statements are included in this prospectus in reliance on their report, given on their authority as experts in accounting and auditing. LEGAL MATTERS The validity of the shares of common stock to be sold in this offering will be passed upon by Brewer & Pritchard, P.C., Houston, Texas. CHANGE OF ACCOUNTANTS On August 19, 2004, the Company dismissed Malone & Bailey, PLLC as its auditors. Malone & Bailey's audit report on ERF Wireless 's consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2003, and for the year then ended did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, or qualification or modification as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. The Company filed a Report on Form 8-K on August 19, 2004, reflecting that it replaced Malone & Bailey, LLP, as its independent auditor with LBB. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, and in the subsequent interim periods through the date of dismissal, there were no disagreements with Malone & Bailey on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope and procedures which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Malone & Bailey would have caused Malone & Bailey to make reference to the matter in their report. The Company retained the services on August 19, 2004 of LBB as ERF Wireless' principal accountant to audit the financial statements of ERF Wireless for the year ended December 31, 2004. The decision to change accountants was approved by the Board of Directors. 43 ERF WIRELESS, INC.

SEE ACCOMPANYING NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. F-4 ERF WIRELESS, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION NATURE OF THE COMPANY ERF Wireless, Inc. (the Company), provides wireless communications products and services including the Company's core focus of providing enterprise-class wireless broadband services. The Company has formed four operating divisions to provide solutions and services to different segments of the wireless industry. The Company's Enterprise Network Services Division was formed to serve enterprise customers, private entities, cities, unincorporated municipalities and the general public. The Company's Bundled Wireless Services Division was formed to provide wireless broadband products and services, including Internet, voice, data, security and video services, and is in the early stages of building or acquiring a seamless wireless broadband network throughout North America to serve private entities, cities, municipalities and the general public. The Company's Wireless Messaging Services Division provides wireless broadband system design and implementation, manufactures and supplies high-power infrastructure equipment for the wireless messaging industry and owns and operates a wide-area wireless messaging service (one- and two-way cellular and paging retail). The Company's Network Operations Services Division provides the overall day-to-day operations, maintenance, upgrading, 24/7 monitoring and expansion of all wireless broadband networks that the Company constructs, acquires, maintains and administers. BASIS OF ACCOUNTING The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's annual filing dated December 31, 2005, filed with the SEC on Form 10-KSB. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. RECLASSIFICATION Certain amounts in the 2005 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2006 financial presentation. The reclassification has no impact on net loss. 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 at the date of the balance sheet. Actual results could differ from those estimates. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash and cash equivalents include cash and all highly liquid financial instruments with purchased maturities of three months or less. SECURITIES HELD FOR RESALE Investments in public companies are classified as available-for-sale and are adjusted to their fair market value with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, recorded as a component of accumulated comprehensive income. Upon disposition of these investments, the specific identification method is used to determine the cost basis in computing realized gains or losses, which are reported in other income and expense. Declines in value that are judged to be other than temporary are reported in other comprehensive income and expense. F-5 ERF WIRELESS, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS Earnings are charged with a provision for doubtful accounts based on a current review of collectibility of accounts receivable. Accounts deemed uncollectible are applied against the allowance for doubtful accounts. DEFERRED REVENUES Revenues that are billed in advance of services being completed are deferred until the conclusion of the period of the service for which the advance billing relates. Deferred revenues are included on the balance sheet in current and long-term liabilities until the service is performed and then recognized in the period in which the service is completed. The Company's deferred revenues consist of billings in advance of services being rendered for its wireless broadband, banking network monitoring and maintenance and wireless messaging customers and, accordingly, are deferred and recognized monthly as earned. The Company had deferred revenues in current and long-term liabilities of $29,000 and $330,000 as of June 30, 2006, and December 31, 2005, respectively. ADVERTISING COSTS Advertising costs are expensed when incurred. For the periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company expensed $42,000 and $20,000, respectively. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION In December 2004, FASB issued a revision to SFAS 123 (also known as SFAS 123R) that amends existing accounting pronouncements for share-based payment transactions in which an enterprise receives employee and certain non-employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the enterprise or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise's equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. SFAS 123R eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using APB 25 and generally requires such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. SFAS 123R's effective date would be applicable for awards that are granted, modified, become vested, or settled in cash in interim or annual periods beginning after December 15, 2005. SFAS 123R includes three transition methods: a prospective method, a modified prospective method and a retroactive method. The Company adopted SFAS 123R in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS In connection with the sale of debt or equity instruments, the Company may sell options or warrants to purchase our common stock. In certain circumstances, these options or warrants may be classified as derivative liabilities, rather than as equity. Additionally, the debt or equity instruments may contain embedded derivative instruments, such as embedded derivative features which in certain circumstances may be required to be bifurcated from the associated host instrument and accounted for separately as a derivative instrument liability. The Company's derivative instrument liabilities are re-valued at the end of each reporting period, with changes in the fair value of the derivative liability recorded as charges or credits to income in the period in which the changes occur. For options, warrants and bifurcated embedded derivative features that are accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities, the Company estimates fair value using either quoted market prices of financial instruments with similar characteristics or other valuation techniques. The valuation techniques require assumptions related to the remaining term of the instruments and risk-free rates of return, our current common stock price and expected dividend yield, and the expected volatility of our common stock price over the life of the option. Because of the limited trading history for our common stock, the Company estimates the future volatility of its common stock price based on not only the history of its stock price but also the experience of other entities considered comparable to the Company. F-6 ERF WIRELESS, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) INVENTORIES Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. The cost is determined by using the average cost method. Inventories consist of the following items, in thousands: June 30, December 31, 2006 2005 ---------- ---------- Raw material $ 30 $ 125 Finished goods 65 14 ---------- ---------- $ 95 $ 139 ========== ========== PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized; minor replacements, maintenance and repairs are charged to current operations. Depreciation is computed by applying the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives which are generally three to seven years. Impairment losses are recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amount. No impairment losses have been recorded since inception. INTANGIBLE ASSETS Intangible assets are amortized using methods that approximate the benefit provided by the utilization of the assets. The Company continually evaluates the amortization period and carrying basis of intangible assets to determine whether subsequent events and circumstances warrant a revised estimated useful life or reduction in value. LONG-LIVED ASSETS We review our long-lived assets, which include intangible assets subject to amortization, for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such long-lived asset or group of long-lived assets (collectively referred to as "the asset") may not be recoverable. Such circumstances include, but are not limited to: o a significant decrease in the market price of the asset; o a significant change in the extent or manner in which the asset is being used; o a significant change in the business climate that could affect the value of the asset; o a current period loss combined with projection of continuing loss associated with use of the asset; o a current expectation that, more likely than not, the asset will be sold or otherwise disposed of before the end of its previously estimated useful life. We continually evaluate whether such events and circumstances have occurred. When such events or circumstances exist, the recoverability of the asset's carrying value shall be determined by estimating the undiscounted future cash flows (cash inflows less associated cash outflows) that are directly associated with and that are expected to arise as a direct result of the use and eventual disposition of the asset. To date, no such impairment has occurred. To the extent such events or circumstances occur that could affect the recoverability of our long-lived assets, we may incur charges for impairment in the future. F-7 ERF WIRELESS, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) REVENUE RECOGNITION The Company's revenue is generated primarily from the sale of wireless communications products and services on a nationwide basis, including providing enterprise-class wireless broadband services. The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is probable. The Company records revenues from its fixed-price, long-term contracts using the percentage-of-completion method. Revenues are recorded based on construction costs incurred to date as a percentage of estimated total cost at completion. The percentage-of-completion, determined by using total costs incurred to date as a percentage of estimated total costs at completion, reflects the actual physical completion of the project. This method of revenue recognition is used because management considers total cost to be the best available measure of progress on the contracts. The Company recognizes product sales generally at the time the product is shipped. Concurrent with the recognition of revenue, the Company provides for the estimated cost of product warranties and reduces revenue for estimated product returns. Sales incentives are generally classified as a reduction of revenue and are recognized at the later of when revenue is recognized or when the incentive is offered. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods sold. The Company's suppliers generally warrant the products distributed by the Company and allow returns of defective products, including those that have been returned to the Company by its customers. The Company does not independently warrant the products that it distributes, but it does provide warranty services on behalf of the supplier. INCOME TAXES Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, inventory, accounts receivable and debt. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due either to length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in these consolidated financial statements. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS) Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as all changes in shareholders' equity, exclusive of transactions with owners, such as capital instruments. Comprehensive income (loss) includes net income or loss, changes in certain assets and liabilities that are reported directly in equity such as translation adjustments on investments in foreign subsidiaries, changes in market value of certain investments in securities and certain changes in minimum pension liabilities. BENEFICIAL CONVERSION Equity instruments that contain a beneficial conversion feature are recorded as a deemed dividend to the holders of the convertible equity instruments. The deemed dividend associated with the beneficial conversion is calculated as the difference between the fair value of the underlying common stock less the proceeds that have been received for the equity instrument limited to the value received. The beneficial conversion amount is recorded as a reduction on the carrying value of the equity instrument and an increase to additional paid-in-capital. F-8 ERF WIRELESS, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) BASIC LOSS PER SHARE The Company is required to provide basic and dilutive earnings (loss) per common share information. The basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss applicable to common stockholders, adjusted on an "as if converted" basis, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive securities. For the periods ended June 30, 2006, and June 30, 2005, potential dilutive securities had an anti-dilutive effect and were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS There have been no material changes to the recent accounting pronouncements as previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.

The Company has formed four operating divisions to provide solutions and services to different segments of the wireless industry. The Company's Enterprise Network Services Division was formed to serve enterprise customers, private entities, cities, unincorporated municipalities and the general public. The Company's Bundled Wireless Services Division was formed to provide wireless broadband products and services, including Internet, voice, data, security and video services, and is in the early stages of building or acquiring a seamless wireless broadband network throughout North America to serve private entities, cities, municipalities and the general public. The Company's Wireless Messaging Services Division provides wireless broadband system design and implementation, manufactures and supplies high-power infrastructure equipment for the wireless messaging industry and owns and operates a wide-area wireless messaging service (one- and two-way cellular and paging retail). The Company's Network Operations Services Division provides the overall day-to-day operations, maintenance, upgrading, 24/7 monitoring and expansion of all wireless broadband networks that the Company constructs, acquires, maintains and administers. BASIS OF ACCOUNTING The Company maintains its accounts on the accrual method of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The accompanying financial statements of ERF Wireless, Inc., have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations have been reflected herein. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. 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 at the date of the balance sheet. Actual results could differ from those estimates. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash and cash equivalents include cash and all highly liquid financial instruments with purchased maturities of three months or less. SECURITIES HELD FOR RESALE Investments in public companies are classified as available-for-sale and are adjusted to their fair market value with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, recorded as a component of accumulated comprehensive income. Upon disposition of these investments, the specific identification method is used to determine the cost basis in computing realized gains or losses, which are reported in other income and expense. Declines in value that are judged to be other than temporary are reported in other comprehensive income and expense. ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS Earnings are charged with a provision for doubtful accounts based on a current review of collectibility of accounts receivable. Accounts deemed uncollectible are applied against the allowance for doubtful accounts. F-28 ERF WIRELESS, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) DEFERRED REVENUES Revenues that are billed in advance of services being completed are deferred until the conclusion of the period of the service for which the advance billing relates. Deferred revenues are included on the balance sheet in current and long-term liabilities until the service is performed and then recognized in the period in which the service is completed. The Company's deferred revenues consist of billings in advance of services being rendered for its wireless broadband, banking network monitoring and maintenance and wireless messaging customers and, accordingly, are deferred and recognized monthly as earned. The Company had deferred revenues of $330,000 and has $12,000 in current and long-term liabilities as of December 31, 2005, and 2004, respectively. ADVERTISING COSTS Advertising costs are expensed when incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company expensed $42,000 and $25,000, respectively. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION In December 2004, FASB issued a revision to SFAS 123 (also known as SFAS 123R) that amends existing accounting pronouncements for share-based payment transactions in which an enterprise receives employee and certain non-employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the enterprise or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise's equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. SFAS 123R eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using APB 25 and generally requires such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. SFAS 123R's effective date would be applicable for awards that are granted, modified, become vested, or settled in cash in interim or annual periods beginning after December 15, 2005. SFAS 123R includes three transition methods: a prospective method, a modified prospective method and a retroactive method. The Company intends to adopt SFAS 123R prospectively commencing in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS In connection with the sale of debt or equity instruments, the Company may sell options or warrants to purchase our common stock. In certain circumstances, these options or warrants may be classified as derivative liabilities, rather than as equity. Additionally, the debt or equity instruments may contain embedded derivative instruments, such as embedded derivative features which in certain circumstances may be required to be bifurcated from the associated host instrument and accounted for separately as a derivative instrument liability. The Company's derivative instrument liabilities are re-valued at the end of each reporting period, with changes in the fair value of the derivative liability recorded as charges or credits to income in the period in which the changes occur. For options, warrants and bifurcated embedded derivative features that are accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities, the Company estimates fair value using either quoted market prices of financial instruments with similar characteristics or other valuation techniques. The valuation techniques require assumptions related to the remaining term of the instruments and risk-free rates of return, our current common stock price and expected dividend yield, and the expected volatility of our common stock price over the life of the option. Because of the limited trading history for our common stock, the Company estimates the future volatility of its common stock price based on not only the history of its stock price but also the experience of other entities considered comparable to the Company. F-29 ERF WIRELESS, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) INVENTORIES Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. The cost is determined by using the average cost method. Inventories consist of the following items, in thousands: December 31, December 31, 2005 2004 ---------- ---------- Raw material $ 125 $ 17 Finished goods 14 17 ---------- ---------- $ 139 $ 34 ========== ========== PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized; minor replacements, maintenance and repairs are charged to current operations. Depreciation is computed by applying the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives which are generally three to seven years. Impairment losses are recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amount. No impairment losses have been recorded since inception. INTANGIBLE ASSETS Intangible assets are amortized using methods that approximate the benefit provided by the utilization of the assets. The Company continually evaluates the amortization period and carrying basis of intangible assets to determine whether subsequent events and circumstances warrant a revised estimated useful life or reduction in value. LONG-LIVED ASSETS We review our long-lived assets, which include intangible assets subject to amortization, for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such long-lived asset or group of long-lived assets (collectively referred to as "the asset") may not be recoverable. Such circumstances include, but are not limited to: o a significant decrease in the market price of the asset; o a significant change in the extent or manner in which the asset is being used; o a significant change in the business climate that could affect the value of the asset; o a current period loss combined with projection of continuing loss associated with use of the asset; o a current expectation that, more likely than not, the asset will be sold or otherwise disposed of before the end of its previously estimated useful life. We continually evaluate whether such events and circumstances have occurred. When such events or circumstances exist, the recoverability of the asset's carrying value shall be determined by estimating the undiscounted future cash flows (cash inflows less associated cash outflows) that are directly associated with and that are expected to arise as a direct result of the use and eventual disposition of the asset. To date, no such impairment has occurred. To the extent such events or circumstances occur that could affect the recoverability of our long-lived assets, we may incur charges for impairment in the future. F-30 ERF WIRELESS, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) REVENUE RECOGNITION The Company's revenue is generated primarily from the sale of wireless communications products and services on a nationwide basis, including providing enterprise-class wireless broadband services. The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is probable. The Company records revenues from its fixed-price, long-term contracts using the percentage-of-completion method. Revenues are recorded based on construction costs incurred to date as a percentage of estimated total cost at completion. The percentage-of-completion, determined by using total costs incurred to date as a percentage of estimated total costs at completion, reflects the actual physical completion of the project. This method of revenue recognition is used because management considers total cost to be the best available measure of progress on the contracts. The Company recognizes product sales generally at the time the product is shipped. Concurrent with the recognition of revenue, the Company provides for the estimated cost of product warranties and reduces revenue for estimated product returns. Sales incentives are generally classified as a reduction of revenue and are recognized at the later of when revenue is recognized or when the incentive is offered. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods sold. The Company's suppliers generally warrant the products distributed by the Company and allow returns of defective products, including those that have been returned to the Company by its customers. The Company does not independently warrant the products that it distributes, but it does provide warranty services on behalf of the supplier. INCOME TAXES Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, inventory, accounts receivable and debt. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due either to length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in these consolidated financial statements. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS) Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as all changes in shareholders' equity, exclusive of transactions with owners, such as capital instruments. Comprehensive income (loss) includes net income or loss, changes in certain assets and liabilities that are reported directly in equity such as translation adjustments on investments in foreign subsidiaries, changes in market value of certain investments in securities and certain changes in minimum pension liabilities. BENEFICIAL CONVERSION Equity instruments that contain a beneficial conversion feature are recorded as a deemed dividend to the holders of the convertible equity instruments. The deemed dividend associated with the beneficial conversion is calculated as the difference between the fair value of the underlying common stock less the proceeds that have been received for the equity instrument limited to the value received. The beneficial conversion amount is recorded as a reduction on the carrying value of the equity instrument and an increase to additional paid-in-capital. F-31 ERF WIRELESS, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) BASIC LOSS PER SHARE The Company is required to provide basic and dilutive earnings (loss) per common share information. The basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss applicable to common stockholders, adjusted on an "as if converted" basis, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive securities. For the periods ended December 2005 and 2004, potential dilutive securities had an anti-dilutive effect and were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS: In December 2004, the FASB issued a revision to SFAS 123 (also known as SFAS 123R) that amends existing accounting pronouncements for share-based payment transactions in which an enterprise receives employee and certain non-employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the enterprise or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise's equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. SFAS 123R eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using APB 25 and generally requires such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. SFAS 123R's effective date would be applicable for awards that are granted, modified, become vested, or settled in cash in interim or annual periods beginning after December 15, 2005. SFAS 123R includes three transition methods: a prospective method, a modified prospective method and a retroactive method. The Company intends to adopt SFAS 123R prospectively commencing in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005. It is expected that the adoption of SFAS 123R will cause the Company to record as expense each quarter a non-cash accounting charge approximating the fair value of such share-based compensation meeting the criteria outlined in the provisions of SFAS 123R. In April 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") issued Statement No. 03-06, "Participating Securities and the Two-Class Method Under FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings Per Share" ("EITF 03-06"). EITF 03-06 addresses a number of questions regarding the computation of earnings per share by companies that have issued securities other than common stock that contractually entitle the holder to participate in dividends and earnings of the company when, and if, it declares dividends on its common stock. The issue also provides further guidance in applying the two-class method of calculating earnings per share, clarifying what constitutes a participating security and how to apply the two-class method of computing earnings per share once it is determined that a security is participating, including how to allocate undistributed earnings to such a security. EITF 03-06 became effective during the quarter ended June 30, 2004, the adoption of which did not have an impact on the calculation of earnings per share of the Company. In July 2004, the EITF issued a draft abstract for EITF Issue No. 04-08, "The Effect of Contingently Convertible Debt on Diluted Earnings per Share" ("EITF 04-08"). EITF 04-08 reflects the Task Force's tentative conclusion that contingently convertible debt should be included in diluted earnings per share computations regardless of whether the market price trigger has been met. If adopted, the consensus reached by the Task Force in this issue will be effective for reporting periods ending after December 15, 2004. Prior period earnings per share amounts presented for comparative purposes would be required to be restated to conform to this consensus and the Company would be required to include the shares issuable upon the conversion of the Notes in the diluted earnings per share computation for all periods during which the Notes are outstanding. Since the first quarter of 2004, the Company has included the shares issuable upon conversion of the debt in its computation of diluted earnings per share. In September 2004, the EITF delayed the effective date for the recognition and measurement guidance previously discussed under EITF Issue No. 03-01, "The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments," ("EITF 03-01") as included in paragraphs 10-20 of the proposed statement. The proposed statement will clarify the meaning of other-than-temporary impairment and its application to investments in debt and equity securities, in particular investments within the scope of FASB Statement No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," and investments accounted for under the cost method. Currently, there would be no effect of this proposed statement on its financial position and results of operations. F-32 ERF WIRELESS, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) We have adopted FASB Statement 128. It is not expected that we will be impacted by other recently issued standards. FASB Statement 128 presents new standards for computing and presenting earnings per share (EPS). The Statement is effective for financial statements for both interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 1997. We have adopted FASB Statement 131. FASB statement 131 presents standards for disclosures about segment reporting NOTE 2 - ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE Accounts Receivable consists of the following (in thousands): December 31, December 31, 2005 2004 ------ ------ Accounts receivable $ 86 $ 43 Allowance for doubtful accounts (1) (43) ------ ------ Accounts receivable, net $ 85 $ -- ====== ====== Allowance for doubtful accounts percentage of accounts receivable 1% 100% NOTE 3 - PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT: Components of property, plant, and equipment, consist of the following items (in thousands): December 31, December 31, 2005 2004 ----------- ----------- Automobile $ 42 $ 1 Operating equipment 211 63 Office furniture and equipment 72 8 Leasehold improvements 17 15 Computer equipment 85 4 Land 38 - ----------- ----------- Total property, plant and equipment 465 91 Less accumulated depreciation (63) (14) ----------- ----------- Net property, plant and equipment $ 402 $ 77 =========== =========== Depreciation expense was approximately $49,000 and $12,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

F-33 ERF WIRELESS, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) Intangible assets are amortized using methods that approximate the benefit provided by the utilization of the assets. Customer relationships, workforce in place, non-compete agreements and developed technology is amortized on a straight-line basis. We continually evaluate the amortization period and carrying basis of intangible assets to determine whether subsequent events and circumstances warrant a revised estimated useful life or reduction in value. Total amortization of intangibles was $70,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005. The estimated amortization expense for the three years will be $169,000 for years 2006 and 2007 and $99,000 in 2008. NOTE 5 - DEBT CONVERSION To date the Company has been funded by various Investors under the terms of a Debt Conversion and Funding Agreement dated September 30, 2004, an Addendum to Debt Conversion and Funding Agreement dated December 31, 2004, and a Second Addendum to Debt Conversion and Funding Agreement dated July 1, 2005. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2005, the Company was obligated to issue 1,894,000 shares of its Series A Preferred Stock for the conversion of $1,342,000 in debt owed to these same Investors. The $1,342,000 of cash was received during the twelve months ended December 31, 2005, and recorded as debt when initially received and then converted to Series A Preferred Stock at the respective quarters ending March 31, 2005; June 30, 2005; September 30, 2005; and December 31, 2005. The advances are unsecured, bear no interest and are classified as long-term investor advances until such time as they are converted into equity pursuant to the Debt Conversion and Funding Agreements. The Company recorded a deemed dividend on the beneficial conversion of the 1, 894,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock that was limited to the amount of consideration received totaling $1,342,000 in the twelve months ended December 31, 2005. The Company was obligated to issue one share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock for every Fifty Cents ($0.50) in claims converted. The terms of the agreement did not change in the addendum to Debt Conversion and Funding Agreement with the exception of the incremental funding provision providing for an incremental $750,000 in funding through the period ending December 31, 2005. The Company was obligated to issue one share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock for every One Dollar and Fifty Cents ($1.50) in claims converted under the Second Addendum to Debt Conversion and Funding Agreement. The Company had $158,767 remaining available against the Second Addendum to Debt Conversion and Funding Agreement at December 31, 2005. NOTE 6 - CAPITAL STOCK, WARRANTS AND OPTIONS The total number of shares of stock of all classes which the Company shall have the authority to issue is five hundred million (500,000,000), of which twenty five million (25,000,000) shall be shares of Preferred Stock with a par value of $.001 per share ("Preferred Stock"), and four hundred seventy five million (475,000,000) shall be shares of Common Stock with a par value of $.001 per share ("Common Stock").

INVESTOR NOTES 0n September 13, 2005, the Company closed a financing arrangement with Global Capital Funding L.P. ("Global"), GCA Strategic Investment Fund Limited ("GCASIF"), HIPL Family Trust ("HIPL"), and DP Securities Inc. ("DPS") ("Global," "GCASIF," HIPL" and "DPS," collectively, the "Investors") in which it issued to: (i) Global a convertible secured note in the principal amount of $1,285,000 ("Global Note") and a common stock purchase warrant (the "Global Warrant") to purchase 300,000 shares of Company common stock; (ii) GCASIF a convertible secured note in the principal amount of $50,000 (the "GCASIF Note") and a common stock purchase warrant (the "GCASIF Warrant") to purchase up to 13,953 shares of the Company common stock; and (iii) HIPL a convertible secured note in the principal amount of $75,000 (the HIPL Note") and common stock purchase warrant (the "HIPL warrant") to purchase up to 20,930 shares of the common stock; and (iv) DPS a convertible secured note in the principal amount of $90,000 (the "DPS Note") and a common stock purchase warrant (the "DPS Warrant") to purchase up to 55,116 shares of common stock. The Global Note, GCASIF Note, HIPL Note and DPS Note, collectively, "Investor Notes" and the Global Warrant, GCASIF Warrant, and DPS Warrant, collectively, "Investor Warrants". The Investor Notes accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to six percent and are secured by substantially all of the Company's assets. The Investor Notes are convertible into shares of the Company common stock at a conversion price equal to the lesser of (i) $3.50 or (ii) 85% of the average of the three lowest VWAPs, as reported by Bloomberg, during the ten trading days immediately preceding the date of the related notice of conversion; provided further, however, that, until six months following the effective date of the registration statement in no event will the conversion price be lower than the lesser of (y) $1.50 or (z) 50% of the VWAP, as reported by Bloomberg, on January 13th 2006, the effective date of the registration statement. Upon expiration of such six-month period or upon occurrence of an event of default which is not cured, the foregoing floor calculation shall no longer be effective. The Company has registered the resale of the shares of the Company common stock underlying the Investor Notes and the shares issuable upon exercise of the Investor Warrants. F-37 ERF WIRELESS, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) The Company has the ability to prepay in company common stock amounts owed under these Investors Notes for a price equal to the greater of: (i) the outstanding principal amount of the Investor Note, plus all accrued but unpaid interest, including default interest, if any; and (ii) (x) the number of shares of common stock into which the Investor Note, including all accrued but unpaid interest and default interest, if any, is then convertible, times (y) the average VWAP of the common stock for the five trading days immediately prior to the date that the Investor Note is called for prepayment. The Company has the right to prepay the notes in cash at 102% of the outstanding principal and interest in the first year or 101% of the outstanding principal and interest in the second year. The associated Investor Warrants are exercisable by the Investors for five years at $3.57 per share, subject to adjustment upon issuance of shares or warrants below market, of Company common stock. The Investor Notes were determined to include free standing warrants and various embedded derivative liabilities.

F-45 ERF WIRELESS, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) The Company has elected to follow APB 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." Accordingly, since employee stock options are granted at market price on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized. However, SFAS 123R requires presentation of pro forma net income and earnings per share as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options granted under the fair value method of that statement. The weighted average fair value of the individual options issued and granted during the year ended August 31, 2005, is estimated as $3.73 on the date of grant. Management estimates the average fair value for options granted during fiscal 2005 to be comparable to those granted in fiscal 2004. The impact on net loss is none; therefore, the pro forma disclosure requirements prescribed by SFAS 123 are not significant to the Company. The fair values were determined using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: 8/1/2004 8/12/2005 12/31/2005 ----------------------------------------- Assumptions Options Options Options ------------------------ ----------------------------------------- Dividend yield 0.00% 0.00% 0.00% Risk-free rate for term 3.50% 4.18% 4.35% Volatility 207.00% 31.00% 76.00% Expected life 5 years 4 years 1 year The pro forma effect on net loss as if the fair value of stock-based compensation had been recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the stock option or purchase right was as follows for the years ended December 31, 2005, and December 31, 2004: December 31, December 31, (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AMOUNTS) 2005 2004 ---------- -------- Net loss, as reported $ (3,411) $ (719) Add: Stock-based employee compensation included in reported net earnings/(loss), net of related tax effects -- -- Less: Stock-based employee compensation expense determined under fair-value based method for all awards, net of related tax effects --------- ------- Pro forma net earnings/(loss) $ (3,411) $ (719) ========= ======= Net loss per share: As reported $ (0.61) $ (0.38) Pro foma $ (0.61) $ (0.38) Diluted net loss per share: As reported $ (0.61) $ (0.38) Pro foma $ (0.61) $ (0.38) Option and warrant activity was as follows for the year ended December 31, 2005: 2005 Weighted-Average Shares Exercise Price --------- --------- Outstanding at beginning of year 1,500,000 $ 2.88 Granted 1,605,000 3.71 Assumed through acquisitions -- -- Exercised -- -- Forfeited/cancelled -- -- --------- --------- Outstanding throughout the period 3,105,000 $ 3.31 ========= ========= Exercisable at year end -- $ -- ========= ========= Information about options and warrants outstanding was as follows at December 31, 2005: F-46 ERF WIRELESS, INC.
