We are also a comprehensive solutions provider to other enterprise customers, providing them with a wide array of communications services including high speed broadband, voice over Internet Protocol (VOIP) telephone and facsimile service, and video security.
 
Historically, our revenues have been generated primarily from internet and construction services.  Our internet revenues have resulted from our offering of broadband and basic communications services to residential and enterprise customers. Our construction revenues typically have consisted of revenues generated from the construction of bank networks and other services associated with providing wireless products and services to the regional banking industry.
 
Our internet revenues are recorded in our subsidiary, “Wireless Bundled Services, Inc. (WBS)”, construction of bank networks in our subsidiary, “Enterprise Network Services, Inc. (ENS)” and other construction in our subsidiary, “Wireless Messaging Services, Inc. (WMS)” and wireless broadband products and services to rural oil and gas locations are recorded in our subsidiary, “Energy Broadband, Inc. (EBI)”. Please refer to segment footnote 9 for additional information regarding the Company’s operating divisions.
 
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 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's annual report for the year ended December 31, 2009 filed with the SEC on Form 10-K. 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. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 as reported in form 10-K have been omitted.
 
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 as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, in thousands:
 
   
June 30,
   
December 31,
 
   
2010

The Company has pledged all the finished goods inventory of WBS of $176,000 and $159,000 as collateral against outstanding notes as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.
 
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.

NOTE 2 – DEBT SETTLEMENT

The Company during the second quarter 2010 had two debt settlements of the unsecured revolving credit facility which provides financing for working capital requirements.  During June 2010 the Company issued 1,668,873 shares of its Series A Preferred Stock for the settlement of $763,803 of debt and $340,123 in accrued interest for a total amount of $1,103,926. The Company issued Preferred A Stock at an average price of $.6615 per share or $.0354 per share of common of the ERFW common stock the day the debt is settled and converted to Preferred A Stock. As additional consideration for the settlement the Company agreed to amend the Series A convertible preferred stock designation to increase the voting rights of each preferred share from 50 votes to 100 votes on all matters in which the common stock holders and preferred stock holders vote together. Under current accounting standards ASC 470-50-40-2 the extinguishment of related party debt for equity securities is considered a capital transaction and, accordingly, no gain or loss on the extinguishment is recognized in the statement of operations. If this was not a related party transaction a gain of $27,541 would have been recognized in this quarter.

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 second quarter of 2010, approximately 91% of our revenue was generated from Internet services and 9% of our revenue was generated from construction services. We expect our Internet services to experience the most growth during the fiscal year 2010 as we devote significant capital resources to developing the sale of wireless products and services in the oil and gas market.
 
During the second quarter of fiscal 2010, the company advanced its strategic business plan as evidenced by a number of agreements and activities. A summary of milestones during and subsequent to the quarter ended June 30, 2010, includes:
  
The Company announced that it received Second Round Review letters from the United States Department of Agriculture’s Rural Utilities Service (RUS) regarding their broadband stimulus applications. These letters pertained to three separate applications that ERF Wireless had previously submitted to the RUS in response to the Administration's stated objective to award approximately $7 billion in grants and low interest loans to companies, private and public entities, and other parties to enable the creation of jobs and the development of broadband access to all American citizens. These letters allowed for the submittal of supplemental information to address specific and limited adjustments to all three of the company's Round Two Broadband Initiatives Program (BIP) Infrastructure applications. ERF Wireless submitted separate applications for each of these "last-mile" projects that total approximately $31 million in loan and grant funding. These projects include:
   
1.     
Eagle Ford Shale Broadband Project.   The agricultural area of Texas south of San Antonio has long lagged behind the rest of the state in access to technology. This is a significant barrier to the development in the region. The recent expansion in natural gas exploration in the region has created opportunity for change. The community can only reach the outside world at high speed if they live in close proximity to a telephone company end office, and even then access is not economical.
2.     
Texas Educational Broadband Network.   ERF Wireless has developed an open partnership with several Texas Independent School Districts as anchor tenants. A WiMax access network will be implemented for this area west of Houston, Texas, covering some 600 square miles. Wireless access will be provided to schools and other community anchors in this coverage area, and otherwise unavailable broadband Internet access will be provided at competitive rates to businesses and homes.
  
3.     
Central Louisiana WiMax Project .  This project proposes to blanket 900 square miles of rural and economically-distressed communities with the latest in WiMax broadband service. The project will offer a Broadband Lifeline Program that will enable low income families who qualify to receive discounted broadband services. This project will create hundreds of long-term job opportunities and will offer service to all critical community facilities.
   
Over the past five years, the company has demonstrated its ability to successfully design, build and operate wireless broadband networks in rural communities throughout Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and New Mexico. We believe that, even though this request for more information from the RUS should not be viewed as an indication that the applications will be approved and that our resubmitting updated applications does not guarantee funding, our past experience has made ERF Wireless a leading candidate to receive the broadband funding under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. We would expect to hear the outcome of these applications before the end of September 2010, based on previously disclosed RUS timelines.
  
The Company announced that it has settled in stock all of its outstanding convertible debt as of close of business August 4, 2010. As reported in its 10-Q for the first quarter of 2010, the company received approximately $605,000 USD in financing through convertible debentures with several institutional investors during the first quarter of 2010. Since that time, the company has worked to repay that debt, while continuing to execute its business plan for overall revenue growth. In particular, Energy Broadband, Inc., the company's oil and gas services division, continues to gain substantial sales momentum and is currently working to finalize contracts with multiple customers, including some high-profile Fortune 500 companies.

The Company announced that it has entered into a contract with the world's leading oil and gas service’s company in support of BP and the U.S. Coast Guard. ERF Wireless was selected to provide its world-class integrated communications systems to provide bandwidth to the U.S. Coast Guard's Incident Command Center recently set up on Galveston Island to search for and respond to all reports of oil affecting the Texas Gulf Coast that may be associated with the BP Deepwater Horizon spill off the coast of Louisiana.
  
The Company announced it continues to sign multiple new contracts to provide communications service, equipment, and infrastructure with a number of oil and gas sector companies for products and services to be provided in the United States as well as several foreign countries. While the size of these recent contracts is typically hundreds of thousands of dollars over multiple-year periods, it further validates that the momentum the company has been realizing in Energy Broadband, Inc., should continue to grow into the future. In addition, the company is in late-stage negotiations with several very large, global energy companies to provide comprehensive communications services to help support a substantial augmentation in communications capabilities for exploration and production activities. The company expects to complete at least one of these large contracts in the short term and will keep shareholders abreast of any new developments regarding signing of any additional contracts.

The Company announced that it continues to grasp significantly more oil and gas business along with expanding its overall recurring revenue base from broadband to drilling operations, oil and gas well rework, frac operation support, SCADA wireless connectivity, pipeline wireless surveillance and connectivity support, customer wireless network design and construction, new bank customer contracts, and NOC support. All of this new business, which has largely materialized since the start of 2010, is mostly as a result of the increased ERF Wireless sales and marketing efforts starting in the latter half of 2009 and has continued to move the company forward toward its goal of cash flow positive operations in the next few quarters. In view of all of this increased business activity by ERF Wireless, the company finds it ironic that its market capitalization has also seen a steady decline over recent months coupled with the receipt of a large number of shareholder inquiries regarding this decline in market capitalization of the company and the related causes. ERF Wireless has assured all of these inquiring shareholders that the company is continuing to effectively execute its business plan and is currently on track to meet its objective of near-term positive cash flow.
  
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.

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 operation for the six months ended June 30, 2010, was primarily funded by proceeds from the Company's line of credit, net totaling $1,512,000, sale of restricted common stock, net to accredited investors of $252,000 and convertible debt financing of $759,000.

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.

USE OF WORKING CAPITAL
 
We believe our cash and available credit facilities afford us adequate liquidity for the balance of fiscal 2010.  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 As such there is no assurance that we can raise additional capital from external sources to fund our current and future business models on a timely basis.
 
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
 
As of June 30, 2010, 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 set forth in Note 8 -Commitments.
 
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.
