ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS
 
This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) should be read in conjunction with the other sections of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, including the financial statements.
 
OUR MARKETS AND BUSINESS STRATEGY
 
Historically, our revenues have been generated primarily from Internet and construction services.  Our Internet revenues result from our offering of broadband and basic communications services to residential and enterprise customers.  Our construction revenues result from the construction of bank networks and other services associated with providing wireless products and services to the regional banking industry.  During the three months ended June 30, 2011, approximately 42% of our revenues were generated from internet services, 49% of our revenues were generated from providing broadband services to the energy industry and 9% of our revenues were generated from construction services. We expect that our internet services will experience a decline in 2011 as a result of our recent divestiture of certain wireless broadband assets and operations in territories that are not core to our oil and gas vertical market focus and that the most growth during fiscal 2011 will continue to come from devoting significant capital resources to developing the oil and gas market utilizing wireless services.
  
During the second quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company continued to make progress with its strategic business plan as evidenced by the completion and announcement of numerous significant agreements and activities. These include:
 
 
The Company’s financial condition improved dramatically as compared to the most recent fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 and the prior year same quarterly and six month reporting period ended June 30, 2010 including but not limited to the following attributes:
       
   
The Company reported a Net Loss of $1,161,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 as compared to a Net Loss of $1,859,000 for the same prior quarter ended June 30, 2010; an improvement of $698,000 or 38%.
       
   
The Company reported a Net Loss of $994,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2011 as compared to a Net Loss of $3,934,000 for the same prior six month period ended June 30, 2010; an improvement of $2,940,000 or 75% that included a $1,176,000 gain associated with the recent divestiture of certain non-core wireless broadband assets and operations, and gain on the sale of other assets of $8,000.
       
   
The Company reported a Loss from operations of $992,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 as compared to a Loss from continuing operations of $1,547,000 for the same prior quarter ended June 30, 2010; an improvement of $555,000 or 36%.
       
   
The Company’s Energy Broadband, Inc. subsidiary reported revenues of $642,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 as compared to revenues of $206,000 for the same prior year quarter ended June 30, 2010; an increase of $436,000 or 212%.
       
   
The Company’s Energy Broadband, Inc. subsidiary reported revenues of $1,178,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2011 as compared to revenues of $378,000 for the same prior year six month period ended June 30, 2010; an increase of $800,000 or 212%.
       
   
The Company’s overall revenues increased by 28% as compared to the same prior year quarter; comprised of a decline of $65,000 in wireless internet services, a $62,000 decline in wireless messaging services, a $21,000 decline in enterprise network services; offset by the $436,000 increase in revenues in our oil and gas operations subsidiary, Energy Broadband, Inc.
       
   
The Company reported a reduction of $348,000 or 19% decline in Operating Expenses in the quarter ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the same prior year quarter ended June 30, 2010.
       
   
The Company reported a $1,522,000 improvement in Shareholders’ Equity for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the most recent balance sheet at fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.
       
   
The Company’s liquidity position improved by $2,003,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the most recent balance sheet at fiscal year ended December 31, 2010; including a $622,000 increase in Current Assets, a $1,381,000 decrease in Current Liabilities that included $693,000 retirement of Long-term debt and Capital Lease obligations.
       
   
Lastly, the Company invested $1,300,000 in cash during the six month period ended June 30, 2011, primarily for the purchase of assets in its Energy Broadband, Inc. subsidiary for the continued expansion of networks and infrastructure, including increasing its Mobile Broadband Trailer, (“MBT”) fleet associated with the increased oil and gas business growth being experienced.

The Company recently completed four separate wireless broadband projects with four Texas Independent Public School Districts. That involved the design, engineering, and construction of wireless broadband networks utilizing the respective districts’ 2.5GHz Education Broadband Service (EBS) licenses.  Three of the four contracts represent one-time revenues that were recorded in the second fiscal quarter to end on June 30, 2011, while the fourth contract represents a five-year agreement for providing Direct Internet Access and Internet Protocol bandwidth circuits connecting all of the campuses in that school district under a Master Capacity Services Agreement; with revenue recognition to begin on July 1, 2011.  These projects mark the Company’s entry into a new strategic education vertical market that has been under development for some time.
       
 
The completion of a Master Services Agreement with TISD, Inc. to deliver digital oilfield solutions in the northeastern Eagle Ford Shale market in South Texas.
       
 
The Company implemented a reverse split of 1 for 500 effective August 5, 2011.
     
 
The Company announced that it would dividend one unit of Energy Broadband, Inc. securities consisting of 100 Energy Broadband common shares, one warrant to purchase 100 shares at a fixed price of $4.00 per share and one warrant to purchase an additional 100 shares at a fixed price of $6.00 per share for each 200 shares of ERF Wireless, Inc. common stock, or preferred stock convertible into 200 common shares, that a shareholder owns as of September 30, 2011.
     
 
The Company announced that it has filed the formal arbitration documentation to conduct arbitration of a major contractual dispute between ERF Wireless and Schlumberger Technology Corporation, a subsidiary of Schlumberger, Ltd. (NYSE: SLB). This dispute has arisen regarding two exclusive reseller contracts between Schlumberger and ERF Wireless signed January 16, 2009, and still continuing until January 15, 2012, unless cancelled due to a default by either party or extended under the provisions of the contracts.  Neither Schlumberger nor ERF Wireless cancelled the contract due to default of the other party. The arbitration now commenced involves one of these contracts with the GCS Division of Schlumberger for all of the U.S. including the Gulf of Mexico. A second and similar contract for all of Canada with their Canadian Division may be the subject of a separate proceeding. In spite of this contractual dispute, ERF Wireless has continued to expand its wireless network coverage in most North American oil and gas regions, as required by the contracts, and to increase its market presence by servicing industry customers that were originally exempted from the exclusivity provisions of the contracts. The ruling in the arbitration will be binding, and the arbitration is expected to be completed by year end.
       
The Company's revenue is generated primarily from the sale of wireless communications products and services, including providing reliable, 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.

Service revenue is principally derived from wireless broadband services, including internet, voice, and data and monitoring service. Subscriber fees are recorded as revenues in the period during which the service is provided.

For the three months ended June 30, 2011, operating expenses decreased by 19% to $1,493,000, as compared to $1,841,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The decreases that occurred, as evidenced by the immediately preceding table, are discussed below:
  
 
A $200,000 decrease in employment expense. The decrease is primarily attributable to the centralization of our operations thus reducing our employee headcount to 51 at June 30, 2011 from 67 at June 30, 2010;
     
 
A $16,000 increased in professional services.
     
 
A $56,000 decrease in depreciation and amortization; and
     
 
A $137,000 decrease in other general and administrative expense.
  
For the six months ended June 30, 2011, operating expenses decreased by 29% to $2,657,000, as compared to $3,719,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The decreases that occurred, as evidenced by the immediately preceding table, are discussed below:
  
 
A $631,000 decrease in employment expense. The decrease is primarily attributable to the centralization of our operations thus reducing our employee headcount to 51 at June 30, 2011 from 67 at June 30, 2010;
     
 
A $181,000 decrease in professional services.
     
 
A $81,000 decrease in depreciation and amortization; and
     
 
A $180,000 decrease in other general and administrative expense.
     
OTHER (INCOME) EXPENSE, NET
 
For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the increase in other income is primarily attributable to gain on sale of assets of $1,176,000 on the asset sale of non-core assets of our North and Central Texas network on February 14, 2011, gain on sale of other assets of $8,000 and a decline in our interest expense, net on debt obligations totaling $366,000 and a reduction in our net derivative income to $13,000 as compared to interest expense, net of $814,000 and derivative income of $326,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The derivative expense/income represents the net unrealized (non-cash) charge during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, 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.
 
NET LOSS
 
For the six months ended June 30, 2011, our net loss before other comprehensive loss was $991,000 compared to a loss of $3,934,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease in the net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010 is primarily attributable to the factors describe in the preceding tables.

CASH FLOWS
 
The Company's operating activities increased net cash used by operating activities to $1,276,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to net cash used of $850,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in net cash used by operating activities was primarily attributable to our gain on sale of assets leading to an improvement in the company's net operating loss of $991,000, net of $615,000 non-cash charges combined with $900,000 of cash used by fluctuations in working capital requirements consisting of the combination of accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued expenses, deferred liability lease and deferred revenue.
 
The Company's investing activities provided net cash of $1,381,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to net cash used of $470,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in investing activities is primarily the sale of non-core assets of our North and Central Texas network
 
The Company's financing activities used net cash of $40,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $1,300,000 of cash provided in the six months ended June 30, 2010. The cash used in the six months ended June 30, 2011, was primarily associated with debt and lease payments obligations related to the sale of non-core assets of our North and Central Texas.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
At June 30, 2011, the Company's current assets totaled $1,541,000 (including cash and cash equivalents of $108,000); total current liabilities were $2,187,000, resulting in negative working capital of $646,000. The Company has funded operations to date primarily through a combination of utilizing cash on hand, borrowings and raising additional capital through the sale of its securities. The Company’s operation for the three months ended June 30, 2011, was primarily funded by proceeds from the Company's line of credit totaling $653,000 and the divestiture of certain non-core assets and operations receiving proceeds of $2,700,000.
 
CURRENT DEBT FACILITY
 
In June 2010, the Company increased its unsecured revolving credit facility with Angus Capital Partners a related party from $10.5 million to $12.0 million maturing December 31, 2013. At June 30, 2011, the Company had approximately $7,517,000 available on a $12.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility with Angus Capital Partners, with an outstanding balance of $4,483,000. The terms of the 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 12% rate. The loan may be prepaid without penalty or repaid at maturity.
 
ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK
 
During the three months ended June 30, 2011, we issued to various accredited investors and third parties (i) 111,386,428 shares for services rendered and debt conversions, and (ii) 3,735,270 shares upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock. We relied on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act in effecting these transactions. During the three months ended June 30, 2011, we issued 18,347,000 shares of common stock to employees and business consultants, for aggregate consideration of $179,000 of services rendered, pursuant to a registration statement on form S-8.
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we issued to various accredited investors and third parties (i) 170,331,850 shares for services rendered and debt conversions, and (ii) 7,470,540 shares upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock. We relied on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act in effecting these transactions. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we issued 32,518,311 shares of common stock to employees and business consultants, for aggregate consideration of $411,000 of services rendered, pursuant to a registration statement on form S-8.
 
USE OF WORKING CAPITAL
 
We believe our cash and available credit facilities afford us adequate liquidity for the balance of fiscal 2011.  We anticipate that we will need additional capital in the future to continue to expand our business operations, which expenditures may include acquisitions and capital expenditures.  We have historically financed our operations through private equity and debt financings. We do not have any commitments for significant 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 curtail operations.
 
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
 
As of June 30, 2011, the Company did not have any significant off-balance-sheet arrangements other than certain office and tower facility operating leases requiring minimal commitments under non-cancelable leases disclosed in the table above.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
 
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.

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:
  
 
a significant decrease in the market price of the asset;
     
 
a significant change in the extent or manner in which the asset is being used;
     
 
a significant change in the business climate that could affect the value of the asset;
     
 
a current period loss combined with projection of continuing loss associated with use of the asset;
     
 
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.

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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
   
Management does not anticipate that the recently issued but not yet effective accounting pronouncements will materially impact the Company’s financial condition.
