Item 1.    Business.
 
Eagle Broadband, Inc. (the “company” or “Eagle”) is a provider of broadband, Internet Protocol (IP) and communications technology and services that aim to create new revenue opportunities for broadband providers and enhance communications for government agencies, the military and corporations. The company leverages years of experience delivering advanced, IP-based broadband services to help service providers deliver advanced entertainment and communications services to their customers. Eagle’s product offerings include (i) IPTVComplete™, a faster, lower-cost way for broadband providers to deliver competitive IP video and entertainment services to their residential and commercial customers; (ii) the MediaPro line of standard and high definition IP set-top boxes that enable broadband providers and hotel operators to maximize their revenues from the delivery of advanced, interactive entertainment services; and (iii) the SatMAX™ satellite communications system that provides civilian government, military, homeland security and corporate customers with reliable, non-line-of-sight, satellite-based voice and data communications from any location on Earth.
 
In May 2005, the company implemented a corporate restructuring designed to reduce costs, focus company resources to drive revenue growth and position the company to better compete in the broadband, IPTV, hospitality and communications markets. The restructuring aligned our resources to better capitalize on potential revenue opportunities for our core IPTV, IP set-top box, and satellite communications product offerings and included the formation of three main operating divisions:
 
·  
IPTV Solutions Division - consists of the IPTVComplete and Media Pro IP set-top box product offerings.
·  
Satellite Communications Division - includes the SatMAX non-line-of-sight satellite communications technology.
·  
Broadband Services Division - includes the broadband bundled digital services (BDS), security and managed services businesses.
 
Key components of the restructuring included:
 
·  
Reducing payroll-related expenses, lowering operational overhead and controlling expenditures.
·  
Hiring of additional experienced sales staff to accelerate revenue growth.
·  
Realigning staff and resources to maximize efficiencies, better serve our customers and partners, and concentrate on sales of our three core offerings as we shift our emphasis to providing solutions to broadband and service provider partners.
 
Product and Service Categories
 
IPTV Solutions
 
IPTVComplete™ Video Solution
 
IPTVComplete is a turnkey video service that provides new and incumbent broadband providers a faster, lower cost way to quickly and easily launch and deliver high-quality entertainment services to their customers over their fiber or DSL broadband networks. IPTVComplete leverages Eagle’s video content rights, expertise in delivering video services and IP set-top boxes with the satellite distribution capabilities of GlobeCast North America to provide what we believe to be a unique, turnkey combination of video content, headend infrastructure, satellite distribution and set-top boxes. IPTVComplete provides all of the components broadband service providers need to deliver a competitive bundle of video and interactive entertainment services.
 
IPTVComplete was launched during the second quarter of fiscal 2005 and the service is actively being marketed to broadband providers nationwide.
 
MediaPro IP Set-Top Boxes
 
Eagle designs, manufactures and markets a complete line of advanced MediaPro IP set-top boxes. Either standalone or in conjunction with our EZ-Magic or third-party middleware software, Eagle’s advanced MediaPro IP set-top boxes deliver a full range of high quality, standard and high definition entertainment and information services that can generate higher margin revenues for telecom service providers, hotel and casino owners, hospitals, apartment/condominium owners, municipalities, real estate developers and schools.

Eagle’s EZ-Magic middleware software platform delivers high definition streaming video, superior digital audio, easier navigation of hotel and community services (e.g., concierge, local restaurants and events, etc.), advanced content and system security for a wide variety of hardware platforms.
 
IP set-top box and middleware software products revenues are reported under the category “Products” on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
 
Satellite Communications Solutions
 
SatMAX™ Satellite-Based Voice and Data Communications
 
Eagle’s SatMAX non-line-of-sight repeater system is an innovative, proprietary non-line-of-sight communications technology that enables users of the Iridium satellite network to establish reliable voice and data communications to and from any location where the user is unable to gain line of sight to an orbiting Iridium satellite such as onboard aircraft, below deck on ships, within buildings, underground or from obstructed areas. The technology provides global communications that enhance user productivity, mobility, problem solving, field-to-headquarters collaboration and emergency backup/response for a wide range of mission-critical and everyday communications needs. By extending coverage indoors to areas not traditionally served by satellite networks, the SatMAX extends the customer’s usage area, while enhancing the utility and overall value for both new and existing Iridium aviation, government, military, homeland security and commercial/enterprise customers. The company has received certification from both the Federal Communications Commission and Iridium Satellite LLC for the SatMAX.
 
SatMAX revenues are reported under the category “Products” on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
 
Broadband Services Solutions
 
Bundled Digital Services (BDS)
 
Historically, Eagle has marketed bundled digital services to municipalities, utilities, real estate developers and service providers to assist these customers in providing IP-based broadband services to their customers, including high-speed Internet, home security monitoring, telephone service, and video services over fiber and IP networks. In August 2005, we announced that we are shifting our focus to further concentrate our efforts on delivering IP-based video (IPTVComplete) and set-top box solutions (MediaPro IP set-top boxes) to broadband and hospitality providers, and satellite communications solutions (SatMAX) to government, military and commercial customers. While we continue to provide bundled broadband services to a select number of communities in Texas, we believe that the IPTV, set-top box and satellite communications markets offer greater opportunities in the future.
 
Bundled broadband services revenues are reported under the category “Broadband Services” on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

IPTV, IP set-top box, satellite communications and broadband products and services are sold to a broad range of customers, including residential, commercial, enterprise, military, government and service provider customers.
 
The IPTVComplete video solution is sold to new and incumbent broadband providers including telephone companies, fiber broadband providers, multiple dwelling unit (MDU) providers, municipalities and real estate developers. MediaPro IP set-top boxes are sold to a range of customers nationwide, including hotel and casino owners, telephone companies and other broadband providers, hospitals, apartment and condominium owners, municipalities, real estate developers, corporations and schools.

IPTVComplete and IP set-top boxes are marketed directly by Eagle’s sales staff and select reseller and channel partners. SatMAX systems are marketed through Eagle’s sales staff and select resellers and channel partners to corporate, commercial aviation, government, and military customers. Broadband services, security services and managed services are marketed through Eagle’s sales and customer service staff.
 
Research and Development
 
Because the company markets products and services in highly competitive markets characterized by rapid product obsolescence and change, we believe that a strong commitment to, and ongoing investment in, research and development is essential to the continued growth and future success of our products. One of the key components of our development strategy is maintaining close working relationships between our sales, marketing, product development, and internal manufacturing staffs and our customers, which helps ensure that the products we develop and bring to market meet real customer needs.
 
-6-

 
Eagle’s new product development resources are focused on the development of new broadband, video, entertainment and communications products and services. In addition, we have formed strategic relationships with third-party suppliers and manufacturers, allowing the company to utilize the most advanced technology in the IPTVComplete, IP set-top-box and SatMAX product lines. We will continue to incur research and development expenses with respect to our IPTVComplete, IP set-top-box and satellite communications product lines during the current fiscal year.
 
Eagle has extensive expertise in the technologies required to develop advanced broadband, video, entertainment, communications and satellite communications products and services, enabling the company to develop enhancements to our existing products as well as develop competitive broadband, entertainment and communications products in the future. Investment in advanced computer-aided design tools for simulation and analysis allows us to bring new products to market faster. Research and development expenditures incurred by us for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 were $776,000, $557,000 and $411,000, respectively.
 
Manufacturing
 
The company currently subcontracts and/or provides limited manufacturing of its satellite communications products at its facilities in League City, Texas. Some subassemblies are manufactured for us by subcontractors at various locations throughout the world. Our manufacturing expertise resides in assembling subassemblies and final systems that are configured to customer specifications. The components and assemblies used in our products include electronic components such as resistors, capacitors, transistors, and semiconductors such as field programmable gate arrays, digital signal processors and microprocessors, and mechanical materials such as cabinets in which the systems are built.
 
Substantially all of the components and parts used in our products are available from multiple sources. In those instances where components are purchased from a single source, the supplier is reviewed for stability and performance. We also strive to have secondary suppliers, as well. Additionally, as necessary, we purchase sufficient quantities of components that have long-lead requirements in the world market. We ensure that all products are tested for quality and reliability prior to shipment to the customer.
 
We have determined that the most cost effective manufacturing method for our IP set-top box product line is to contract with offshore production facilities; supplemented by high-volume U.S.-based facilities. We have established relationships with manufacturers in Asia capable of producing a wide range of products that are recognized as pioneers in the field and are both ISO-9001 and ISO-9002 certified.
 
Competition
 
Industry experts project the IPTV market to grow rapidly over the next three to five years as telephone companies and other broadband providers face increasing competitive pressure and look for solutions to help them meet the demand from their customers for high-quality video and entertainment services. Because the IPTV market is expected to be lucrative for technology companies providing products and services that enable broadband providers to deliver IPTV services, it has attracted a large number of both new and established companies that are competing for IPTV business. These companies include providers of video infrastructure (e.g., video head-ends, etc.), content, distribution, and customer premise equipment (e.g., set-top boxes). In certain cases, the company may compete with these technology providers, in many cases we partner with them and utilize their products and services to provide our IPTV solution. The company believes that its IPTVComplete solution is unique in providing a turnkey, end-to-end IPTV solution providing the company with a competitive advantage; however, other companies offer competitive solutions that could affect sales of the company’s IPTV solutions.
 
Eagle competes with many established companies in the set-top-box business, including Scientific Atlanta, Motorola, and a number of smaller companies. The market for IP set top boxes is projected to continue to grow, fueled by increasing demand from hospitality operators, broadband providers and business enterprises. The projected growth has attracted both established companies as well as new entrants offering set-top box solutions. The company was first -to-market with its high-definition MediaPro set-top box, which provided the company with a competitive advantage in the marketplace. Because of increased demand for IP set-top boxes in the residential IPTV market, competition is expected to increase; however, the company believes it is well positioned to win business from both new and existing set-top box customers.
 
The market for satellite communications services continues to grow as demand from government, military and commercial customers is fueled by the post-9/11 emphasis on reliable communications to enhance public safety and security, an increase in the number and severity of natural disasters (e.g., hurricanes, etc.), as well as ongoing military operations. The company’s SatMAX satellite communications system is a proprietary, non-line-of-sight communications system that was designed to meet these needs. We are not currently aware of other companies in the U.S. that offer products that can provide similar, fully wireless, non-line-of-sight satellite-based voice and data communications services, providing the company with a unique competitive advantage. However, the satellite communications market has many large and small companies that provide satellite communications products and services.
 
-7-

 
Eagle’s broadband and security services compete directly and indirectly with many established companies and service providers that provide fiber and cable, structured wiring, broadband data/Internet, security monitoring, cable television and telephone services. Managed Services competes with many established companies in the fiber and cable, structured wiring and project management services areas. The use of the subcontractors located across the nation allows us to complete large projects in a cost-effective and efficient manner.
 
Proprietary Information
 
The company protects its proprietary technology through a combination of trade secrets, non-disclosure agreements, patent applications, copyright filings, trademarks, technical measures, and common law remedies with respect to its proprietary technology. We have filed a number of patent applications but have not yet been issued any patents on our products, technology or processes against such applications. Any protections may not preclude competitors from developing products with features similar to our products. The laws of some foreign countries in which we sell or may sell our products may not protect our proprietary rights in the products to the same extent as do the laws of the United States. Although we believe that our products and technology do not infringe on the proprietary rights of others, there can be no assurance that third parties will not assert infringement claims against us in the future. If litigation results in our inability to use technology, we might be required to expend substantial resources to develop alternative technology. There can be no assurance that we could successfully develop alternative technology on commercially acceptable terms.
 
Regulation
 
Several of our products operate on radio frequencies. Radio frequency transmissions and emissions, and certain equipment used in connection therewith, are regulated in the United States and internationally. Regulatory approvals generally must be obtained by us in connection with the manufacture and sale of our products and by customers to operate our products. There can be no assurance that appropriate regulatory approvals will continue to be obtained or that approvals required with respect to products being developed for the IPTV, set-top box, satellite communications and/or broadband services markets will be obtained. The enactment by federal, state, local or international governments of new laws or regulations or a change in the interpretation of existing regulations could affect the markets for our products. Although recent deregulation of international telecommunications industries along with recent radio frequency spectrum allocations made by the FCC have increased the demand for our products, there can be no assurance that the trend toward deregulation and current regulatory developments favorable to the promotion of new and expanded IPTV, broadband and communications services will continue or that future regulatory changes will have a positive impact on the company.
 
Employees
 
As of November 23, 2005, we had approximately 95 employees and retained independent contractors as necessary. We believe our employee relations are good. We also enter into independent contractual relationships with various individuals, from time to time, as needed.

In December 2000, Clearworks.net, Inc. became a defendant in State of Florida Department of Environmental Protection vs. Reco-Tricote, Inc., and Southeast Tire Recycling, Inc., currently known as Clearworks.net, Inc., in the Circuit Court of the Tenth Judicial Circuit in and for Polk County, Florida. The Florida DEP included Clearworks in a lawsuit presenting claims for recovery costs and penalties for a waste tire processing facility. The suit seeks recovery of costs and penalties in a sum in excess of $1 million, attorneys’ fees and cost of court. Clearworks denies the claims against it and intends to vigorously contest all claims in this case and to enforce its indemnification rights against the principals of Southeast Tire Recycling.

In July 2003, Eagle became a defendant in Cornell Capital Partners, L.P., vs. Eagle Broadband, Inc., et al., Civil Action No. 03-1860 (KSH), in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. The suit presents claims for breach of contract, state and federal securities fraud and negligent misrepresentation. The plaintiff has also alleged that Eagle has defaulted on a convertible debenture for failing to timely register the shares of common stock underlying the convertible debenture and is seeking to accelerate the maturity date of the debenture. In November 2003, the principal balance of the debenture was repaid, although the suit remains outstanding. Cornell claims damages of approximately $1 million. The company denies the claims and intends to vigorously defend this lawsuit and the claims against it. Eagle has asserted counterclaims against Cornell for fraud and breach of contract in the amount of $2 million. The company has accrued $416,000 in expenses against this lawsuit, although the outcome cannot be predicted at this time.
 
In September 2003, Enron sued United Computing Group in Enron Corp., et al., vs. United Computing Group, Inc., in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York to avoid and recover a transfer in the amount of approximately $1.5 million.

At the start of fiscal 2005, the company’s business strategy was focused on pursuing business opportunities in its core business segments, which included its broadband bundled services and related products. Changes in executive management, including the hiring of David Micek as COO and Eric Blachno as CFO in November 2004 and the subsequent appointment of Mr. Micek as President and CEO in April 2005, led to a thorough review of the company’s operations. During the third quarter of fiscal 2005, the company implemented a corporate restructuring which included the formation of three main operating divisions: IPTV Solutions, Satellite Communications and Broadband Services. Key components of the restructuring included:
 
·  Reducing payroll-related expenses, lowering operational overhead and controlling expenditures.
·  Hiring of additional experienced sales staff to accelerate revenue growth.
·  Realigning staff and resources to maximize efficiencies, better serve our customers and partners, and concentrate on sales of our three core offerings as the company shifted its emphasis to providing solutions to broadband and service provider partners as opposed to offering broadband services directly to consumers.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2005, the company’s business operations reflected an increase in broadband, security and managed services. For the year ended August 31, 2005, the company’s consolidated operations generated net sales of $8,592,000 compared to prior year net sales of $12,490,000. The decrease in net sales is primarily attributable to a decrease in prior year product sales of $3,788,000 from a major customer. For the year ended August 31, 2005, the company had a corresponding negative gross profit margin of 3.7%, compared to a gross profit percentage of 0.8% for the prior year. The negative gross profit percentage is primarily attributable to additional costs of $759,000 for design changes and expedite charges incurred due to a change in product requirements from a key customer, depreciation expenses associated with the build out of the company’s broadband services infrastructure, and a non-cash obsolescence charge for slow moving inventory of $300,000.  (See Note 1-Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies.)
 
The company incurred a net loss of $57,010,000 for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2005. Key components of the loss include a $28,815,000 non-cash impairment charges and $7,261,000 of additional non-cash charges. (See Note 5-Impairment of Long-Lived Assets, Note 6-Impairment of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, and Note 9-Supplemental Non-Cash Disclosures for additional details.)
 
The company’s net loss for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2004, included approximately $5,097,000 in depreciation and amortization expenses and $1,984,000 in expenses associated with a net increase in the company’s accounts receivable allowances. Additionally, the company’s expenses included $18,472,000 of non-cash charges and stock issued to pay for interest expense and for services rendered.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2005, net sales decreased to $8,592,000 from $12,490,000 for the year ended August 31, 2004. The overall decrease of 31% was attributable to a $3,420,000 decrease in product sales and a decrease of $1,177,000 of broadband services, offset by an increase of $665,000, or 98%, in structured wiring sales. The $3,420,000 decrease in sales of the company’s products for the year ended August 31, 2005, was primarily attributable to a decrease in prior year product sales of $3,788,000 from a major customer. The decrease of $1,177,000 in broadband services is primarily attributable to a decline in recurring security monitoring sales resulting from the sale of security contracts to a major customer during the third and fourth quarters of 2005. The increase of $665,000 in structured wiring sales is primarily attributable to increased sales efforts to pursue commercial structured wiring and cabling opportunities.

The decrease of $3,479,000 in cost of goods sold is primarily attributable to (i) product costs of $2,295,000 associated with prior year product sales to a major customer and (ii) $1,127,000 of broadband service cost associated with the decline in recurring security monitoring contracts resulting from sale of security contracts to a major customer during the third and fourth quarters of 2005. The increase of $583,000 in structured wiring cost is primarily attributable to increased personnel costs needed to expand the company’s commercial customer base and pursue additional structured wiring opportunities.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2005, operating expenses increased by 80% to $56,038,000, as compared to $31,055,000 for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2004. The increases that occurred, as evidenced by the immediately preceding tables, are discussed below:
 
 
·  
A $7,412,000 decrease in salaries and related costs. The decrease is primarily attributable to (i) a prior year non-cash expense of $4,493,000 incurred on the issuance of promissory notes upon the modification of outstanding options for 4,200,000 common shares and (ii) a guaranteed compensation of the modified options equivalent to $1.75 less the option strike price, which was an additional $4,074,000 accrued in August 2004. In June 2005, the company entered into note exchange agreements whereby the note holders representing $2,086,000 agreed to accept 7,954,000 of the company’s common stock to fully satisfy such debt obligation. The remaining principal amount of $1,924,000 is currently in default and is accruing interest according to the terms of the original agreement. (See Note 2-Related Party Transactions.)
 
·  
A $689,000 decrease in depreciation and amortization, due principally to disposition of assets and the completion of depreciation of certain capital assets.
 
·  
A $219,000 increase in research and development expenses, primarily for product development and engineering activities associated with the company’s IPTV, set-top box and satellite communications product lines.
 
·  
A $4,299,000 increase in other support costs, the components of which are set forth in the table above. The increase of $1,320,000 is attributable to a state sales tax assessment that is pending while under review, a $4,714,000 increase in professional fees that included cost associated with corporate compliance, auditors fees and consulting, and litigation, and $497,000 attributable to general liability and officer and director insurance coverage. These increases are offset by decreases of $2,075,000 in bad debt, $89,000 in rent expense and $366,000 in telephone and utilities.
 
-14-

 
·  
A $28,515,000 increase in impairment primarily consisting of (i) an impairment charge of $23,912, 668 for the intangible assets of contract rights, customers relationships and other intangible assets primarily attributable to the BDS communities acquired in the January 2001 merger of Clearworks.net, Inc., and (ii) an impairment charge of $3,229,405 for certain Houston-area communities where broadband infrastructure had been installed. (See Note 5-Impairment of Long Live Assets and Note 6-Impairment of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets for additional details.)
 
Net Loss
 
Net loss for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2005, was $57,010,000, compared to a net loss of $39,005,000 during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2004.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2004, net sales increased to $12.5 million from $11.6 million during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2003. The overall increase of 7.7% was attributable to a $1.4 million increase in the company’s product sales of IP set-top boxes and an increase of $2.7 million in the company’s BDS sales; offset by decreases of $3 million in structured wiring operations and a $1.7 million decrease in other sales. The $2.8 million increase in the company’s Products segment was primarily attributable to shipment of IP set-top boxes and related equipment to a major customer. The $2.7 million increase in sales of the company’s broadband services was primarily attributable to contracts valued at $3.1 million executed by the company’s security-monitoring subsidiary, D.S.S. Security, Inc., against which the company realized sales of $2.9 million during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2004.

Without giving effect to the security monitoring contract transactions of $2.9 million, the company’s base broadband services sales decreased by approximately $158,000 in the fiscal year ended August 31, 2004, primarily attributable to the exit from the unprofitable Austin, Texas BDS market discussed in prior periods, and the decline in recurring security monitoring sales resulting from the sale of certain security monitoring contracts in the company’s portfolio to Sweetwater Capital, LLC. The $3 million decrease in structured wiring sales corresponded to the company’s previously announced strategy to no longer pursue structured wiring and commercial cabling opportunities on a direct basis outside of the its BDS model. The $1.7 million decrease in other sales was primarily attributable to the other sales components from various operating segments that were divested or phased out during fiscal 2004.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2004, cost of goods sold increased 14.9% to $12.4 million from $10.8 million compared to the fiscal year ended August 31, 2003. The overall increase of $1.6 million was primarily attributable to the shipment of IP set-top boxes and the purchase and resale of certain related equipment. The company’s overall gross profit percentage was 1% and 7% for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. This substantial decrease in gross profit percentage is primarily attributable to a heavy sales mix of product shipments of IP set-top boxes and the dilutive effect of the purchase and resale of certain related equipment versus the prior fiscal year; the dilutive effect of the security monitoring transactions recorded in the fiscal year ended August 31, 2004, i.e., sales recorded of $2.9 million with corresponding cost of sales of $1.9 million, the decision to no longer pursue structured wiring outside of its BDS model, and an increase in depreciation expenses associated with the build-out of the company’s BDS infrastructure.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2004, operating expenses decreased by 3% to $31.1 million as compared to $31.9 million for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2003. The primary fluctuations that occurred as evidenced by the two preceding tables immediately above are discussed below:
 
·  
A $7 million increase in salaries and related costs. The increase was attributable to an expansion of executive and general management compensation expenses, increased Board of Director compensation expense, and compensation expense associated with stock option exercises and severance. In addition, compensation for certain officers and key employees under incentive clauses of their employment contracts (i) includes a non-cash expense of $4.5 million incurred upon the modification of warrants for 4.2 million shares and (ii) reflects a guaranteed compensation of the modified warrants equivalent to $1.75 less the warrant strike price.
 
·  
A decrease of $833,000 in depreciation and amortization, due principally to the prior year disposition of assets in subsidiaries that are no longer active.
 
·  
A $630,000 increase in other support costs, the components of which are set forth on the table included immediately above. Included in this increase is a $1.3 million increase in property taxes recorded against the company’s BDS infrastructure, a $687,000 increase in professional and contract labor, and a $466,000 increase in bad debt; offset by a $676,000 decrease in rent expense and a $597,000 decrease in telephone and utilities.
 
·  
A $159,000 increase in research and development expenses, primarily consisting of the company’s continued investment in HDTV-ready IP set-top boxes for hospitality and broadband customers and the SatMAX satellite voice and data communications products for military, government and commercial customers.
 
Changes in Cash Flow
 
The company’s operating activities increased net cash used to $11,827,000 in the year ended August 31, 2005, compared to use of net cash of $3,493,000 in the year ended August 31, 2004. The increase in net cash used by operating activities was primarily attributable to fund an increase in the company’s net operating loss, net of $36,076,000 non-cash charges combined with $9,107,000 of cash provided by fluctuations in working capital requirements consisting of the combination of accounts receivable, inventory, other assets, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses. The company’s investing activities used net cash of $611,000 in the year ended August 31, 2005, compared to use of net cash $1,216,000 in the year ended August 31, 2004. The decrease was due primarily to proceeds from sale of assets held for sale and direct finance leasing. The company’s financing activities provided net cash proceeds of $14,407,000 in the year ended August 31, 2005, compared to $5,936,000 of cash provided in the year ended August 31, 2004. The increase resulted from net proceeds of $11,309,000 from the sale of 45.795 million shares of common stock to certain accredited investors and $1,949,000 from the exercise of stock options.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
At August 31, 2005, the company’s current assets totaled $8,370,000 (including cash and cash equivalents of $4,223,000 of which $203,000 is cash restricted). Total current liabilities were $18,809,000, which gave the company a negative working capital of $10,439,000. The company has funded operations through a combination of utilizing cash on hand, issuing common stock to settle current liabilities and raising additional capital through the sale of its securities.
 
In order to preserve cash, the company has historically used company stock to retire certain liabilities on a negotiated basis. During the year ended August 31, 2005, the company retired $7,007,000 in debt with stock versus cash. The company expects to continue its practice of retiring certain liabilities as may be negotiated through a combination of cash and the issuance of shares of the company’s common stock. At this time, the company is not able to quantify the amount of common stock that may need to be issued to retire current or future debts, and there is no assurance that this strategy will be successful in the future.
 
Historically, the company has financed operations through the sale of debt and equity securities. During the year ended August 31, 2005, the company raised $13,958,000 cash through the issuance of common stock upon the exercise of derivative securities. The company currently does not have credit facilities available with financial institutions or other third parties and historically we have relied upon best efforts third-party funding. Though we have been successful at raising additional capital on a best efforts basis in the past, we can provide no assurance that we will be successful in any future best-efforts financing endeavors. The company will continue to rely upon financing from external sources to fund its operations for the foreseeable future and it will likely need to raise additional capital to fund working capital requirements in the third quarter of 2006. If we are unable to raise sufficient capital from external sources to fund our operations for the foreseeable future, the company may need to sell assets to meet working capital needs or curtail certain operations.

LLV Broadband, LLC Agreement
 
In August 2005, the company and Neva Holdings, LLC (“Neva”), executed an agreement whereby the parties agreed to terminate the Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement (“LLC Agreement”) that the parties entered into on November 23, 2004. The termination of the agreement provides for the company’s withdrawal as a member of LLV Broadband, LLC (“LLC”), and complete release from any future obligations under the LLC Agreement. The terms and conditions of the LLC Agreement called for the company to participate in the construction, development and operation of a system for the provision of a range of broadband, entertainment and communications services to the commercial, recreational and residential buildings located within the Lake Las Vegas Resort and surrounding geographical areas. Under the terms of the LLC Agreement, the company was required to make a capital contribution of between $3 million and $5 million to fund ongoing development and operating activities. The parties initially estimated that the LLC’s gross revenues would be approximately $15.5 million over a six-year period through the year 2010. As a result of the termination, the company will not be required to make any additional capital contributions to the LLC and will not recognize any revenues from the LLC. The company will not incur any early termination penalties associated with the termination of the LLC Agreement.
 
The service agreement entered into by the company and the LLC in July 2003 remained in effect until November 4, 2005. Under this agreement, the company provided video content, network monitoring and billing services to the LLC according to a previously agreed-to fee arrangement until November 4, 2005.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
As of August 31, 2005, we did not have any significant off-balance-sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of SEC Regulation S-K.
 
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Management strives to report the financial results of the company in a clear and understandable manner, even though in some cases accounting and disclosure rules are complex and require us to use technical terminology. In preparing our consolidated financial statements, we follow accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These principles require us to make certain estimates and apply judgments that affect our financial position and results of operations as reflected in our financial statements. These judgments and estimates are based on past events and expectations of future outcomes. Actual results may differ from our estimates.
 
Management continually reviews its accounting policies, how they are applied and how they are reported and disclosed in our financial statements. Following is a summary of our more significant accounting policies and how they are applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
 
Impairment Assessment
 
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (SFAS 142), “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” requires that goodwill and intangible assets be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment) on an annual basis and between annual tests in certain circumstances. The carrying amount of an intangible asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. That assessment shall be based on the carrying amount of the asset at the date it is tested for recoverability.
 
The company performed, with the assistance of independent valuation experts, an impairment test of the carrying value of intangible assets. Eagle has intangible assets related to goodwill, contracts, customers and subscribers. For the year ended August 31, 2005, the company determined there had been significant erosion of contracts, customers and subscribers primarily attributable to the BDS assets acquired in the January 2001 merger of Clearworks.net, Inc.
 
The company evaluated and considered two separate methodologies in conducting the analysis and selected the approach assigning the greater value realized from the present value technique or the quoted market approach. The following factors were considered (i) current market conditions, (ii) the company’s current and future financial performance, (iii) intrinsic risks evident in the markets in which the company operates and (iv) the underlying nature of Eagle’s operations and business.
 
Utilizing a fair value standard as set forth in SFAS 142, as of August 31, 2005, management determined an impairment charge of $23,912,668 existed for the intangible assets of contract rights, customer relationships and other intangible assets primarily attributable to the BDS assets acquired in the January 2001 merger of Clearworks.net, Inc.
 
Eagle assessed the fair value of goodwill as of August 31, 2005 and concluded that the goodwill valuations remain at an amount greater than the current carrying asset value. Eagle assessed the fair value of the intangible assets as of August 31, 2004 and concluded that the goodwill and other intangible assets valuations remain at an amount greater than the current carrying and other intangible assets value.
 
At August 31, 2003, management determined that a $7,611,000 non-cash impairment charge was necessary against realigned operations and the discontinued sale of low margin commodity products, residential and commercial structured wiring operations and the withdrawal from its Austin area BDS development based on the lack of demand for BDS services resulting from a slower build out of the development than originally projected in conjunction with local market competition. Included in the impairment was the write down of goodwill associated with the Comtel acquisition of $1,878,000.
 
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 (SFAS 144), “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” requires that long-lived assets (asset groups) shall be tested for recoverability whenever events or change in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. The company’s market capitalization as of year ending August 31, 2005 has been below its shareholder equity which indicated the need to test for recoverability. The company performed, with the assistance of independent valuation experts, tests to determine if an impairment loss existed. For purposes of recognition and measurement of an impairment loss, a long-lived asset is grouped with other assets at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets.
 
-19-

 
These tests took into consideration a number of factors including (i) current market conditions, (ii) the company’s current and future financial performance, (iii) intrinsic risks evident in the markets in which the company operates and (iv) the underlying nature of Eagle’s operations and business. Utilizing a fair value standard as set forth in SFAS 144 as of August 31, 2005, management determined an impairment of $3,229,405 existed for certain Houston-area communities where broadband infrastructure had been installed. (See Note 5-Impairment of Long-Lived Assets.)
 
During the second quarter of 2005, the company also determined an impairment loss existed primarily for Link-Two Communications, Inc. assets. Management determined that the value of the assets was nominal after a review of the marketplace and recorded an impairment loss of $1,050,000. (See Note 5-Impairment of Long-Lived Assets.)
 
During the fourth quarter of 2005, the company had an additional impairment charge of $322,792 on assets held for sale.
(See Note 7-Assets Held for Sale.)
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The company designs, manufactures, markets and services its products and services under the Eagle Broadband, Inc., Eagle Broadband Services, Inc., D.S.S. Security, Inc. and EBI Funding Corporation, names.
 
Eagle adopted EITF 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables,” in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003. The impact of adopting EITF 00-21 did not have a material effect to Eagle’s results of operations. Eagle’s contracts that contain multiple elements as of August 31, 2004, or prior were immaterial. When elements such as hardware, software and consulting services are contained in a single arrangement, or in related arrangements with the same customer, Eagle allocates revenue to each element based on its relative fair value, provided that such element meets the criteria for treatment as a separate unit of accounting. The price charged when the element is sold separately generally determines fair value. In the absence of fair value for a delivered element, Eagle allocates revenue first to the fair value of the undelivered elements and allocates the residual revenue to the delivered elements. In the absence of fair value for an undelivered element, the arrangement is accounted for as a single unit of accounting, resulting in a delay of revenue recognition for the delivered elements until the undelivered elements are fulfilled. Eagle limits the amount of revenue recognition for delivered elements to the amount that is not contingent on the future delivery of products or services or subject to customer-specified return or refund privileges.
 
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 as a current liability until the service is performed and then recognized in the period in which the service is completed. Eagle’s deferred revenues historically have consisted primarily of billings in advance for cable, Internet, security and telephone services, which generally are for between one and three months of services. The company has deferred revenue from the sale of security monitoring contracts, both purchased and owned until the contract provisions are fulfilled. The company has a twelve-month holdback provision for security contracts sold to a major customer during fiscal 2005. Eagle had deferred revenues of $623,000 as of August 31, 2005, which of this total, $465,608 is deferred for the security contracts sold to a major customer. As of August 31, 2004, the company had deferred revenues of $96,000.
 
Eagle Broadband, Inc.
 
Eagle designs, manufactures and markets various hardware, software and systems, along with other equipment used in the delivery of broadband, video entertainment and communications services. Revenues from these products are recognized when the product is shipped. Eagle Broadband Inc.’s international product revenues are reported under the category “Products” on Eagle’s Consolidated Statements of Operations included as page F-4 of this report and also under the category “Eagle” within Note 20-Industry Segments.
 
The company designs, manufactures and markets a complete line of MediaPro IP set-top boxes. Eagle recognizes revenue when set-top boxes are shipped to the customer. The company’s set-top box revenues are reported under the category “Products” on Eagle’s Consolidated Statements of Operations included as page F-4 of this report and also under the category “Eagle” within Note 20-Industry Segments. Revenue from software consists of software licensing. There is no post-contract customer support. Software revenue is allocated to the license using vendor specific objective evidence of fair value (“VSOE”) or, in the absence of VSOE, the residual method. The price charged when the element is sold separately generally determines VSOE. In the absence of VSOE of a delivered element, the company allocates revenue to the fair value of the undelivered elements and the residual revenue to the delivered elements. Eagle recognizes revenue allocated to software licenses at the inception of the license.
 
-20-

 
The company engages independent agents, resellers and distributors for sales principally in foreign countries and certain geographic regions in the United States. Under the terms of these agreements, these third parties provide the company with sales leads. The transactions from these third parties are subject to Eagle’s approval prior to sale. In certain circumstances, the sales agent or reseller/distributor receives commissions based on the amount of the sales invoice from the companies to the customer. The sale is recognized at the time of shipment to the customer. These transactions are not a significant portion of total sales in any of the periods presented. Eagle’s Broadband, Inc., revenues are reported under the category “Products” on the company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations included as page F-4 of this report and also under the category “Eagle” within Note 20-Industry Segments.
 
The company sells and installs structured wiring and related customer premise equipment in residential customers’ homes. This company recognizes revenue and the related costs at the time the services are performed. Revenue is derived from the billing of structured wiring to homes and the sale of customer premise equipment to the homebuyers. For consistency with prior period reporting, Eagle’s residential structured wiring revenues are reported under the category “Structured Wiring” on Eagle’s Consolidated Statements of Operations included as page F-4 of this report and also under the category “APC/HSI” within Note 20-Industry Segments.
 
Eagle Broadband Services, Inc. (BDS)
 
Eagle Broadband Services, Inc. provides broadband bundled digital services to business and residential customers, primarily in the Texas market. Revenue is derived from fees charged for the delivery of bundled digital services, which can include telephone, long distance, Internet, security monitoring and cable services. This subsidiary recognizes revenue and the related costs at the time the services are rendered. Installation fees are recognized upon completion and acceptance. The revenues are reported under the category “Broadband Services” on the company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations included as page F-4 of this report and also under the category “EBS/DSS” within Note 20-Industry Segments.
 
Eagle Broadband Services, Inc. provides project planning, installation, project management, testing and documentation of fiber and cable to commercial and industrial clients throughout the United States. The revenue from the fiber and cable installation and services is recognized upon percentage of completion of the project. Most projects are completed in less than one month, therefore, matching revenue and expense in the period incurred. Service, training and extended warranty contract revenues are recognized as services are completed. For consistency with prior period reporting, Eagle’s communications services revenues are reported under the category “Structured Wiring” on Eagle’s Consolidated Statements of Operations included as page F-4 of this report and also under the category “APC/HSI” within Note 20-Industry Segments.
 
Eagle Broadband Services, Inc. provides business-to-business hardware and software network solutions and network monitoring services. The revenue from the hardware and software sales is recognized at the time of shipment. The monitoring services recognition policy is to record revenue on completion. For consistency with prior period reporting, Eagle’s technology services product revenues are reported under the category “Products” while the services components are reported under the category “Other” on Eagle’s Consolidated Statements of Operations included as page F-4 of this report and also under the category “UCG” within Note 20-Industry Segments.
 
D.S.S. Security, Inc. (d/b/a Eagle Broadband Security)
 
D.S.S. Security, Inc. provides security monitoring services to residential and commercial customers, purchases, bundles and resells contracts from its own portfolio to independent third-party companies. Security monitoring customers are billed three months in advance of service usage. The revenues are deferred at the time of billing and ratably recognized over the prepayment period as service is provided. Installation fees are recognized upon completion and acceptance. Revenues from the sale of security monitoring contracts, both purchased and owned, are recognized upon contract execution except for reserves, hold backs or retentions, which are deferred until the contract provisions are fulfilled. Eagle’s security services revenues are reported under the category “Broadband Services” on Eagle’s Consolidated Statements of Operations included as page F-4 of this report and also under the category “EBS/DSS” within Note 20-Industry Segments.
 
Receivables
 
For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2005, Eagle accounts receivable increased to $1,890,000 from $1,470,000 at August 31, 2004. The majority of this increase was due to the sale of retail security contracts to a major customer in the third and fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 in the amount, net of hold back, of $1,545,447 and $582,553, respectively.
 
The company’s accounts receivable aging as measured by days sales outstanding (DSO) totaled 47 days at August 31, 2005, and 29 days at August 31, 2004, on an adjusted basis after recording the write-offs and reserves. The increase in DSO from 29 days at August 31, 2004, to 47 days at August 31, 2005, was primarily attributable to a customer that delayed payment on a significant portion of a set-top box order due to a disagreement related to operability issues with the set-top boxes. The company has resolved these issues with the customer and expects to collect more than 80% of the outstanding receivable. The remaining amount due on this order has been reserved in the company’s allowance for doubtful accounts.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
 
The company’s allowance for doubtful accounts totaled $2,688,000 and $2,396,000 for the years ended August 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. These allowances for doubtful accounts amounts represented 59% and 62% of the gross accounts receivable balances for the years ended August 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively; while they likewise represented 82% and 7% of the company’s greater than 90-day accounts for these same respective time periods.
 
The company reviews its accounts receivable balances by customer for accounts greater than 90 days old and makes a determination regarding the collectibility of the accounts based on specific circumstances and the payment history that exists with such customers. The company also takes into account its prior experience, the customer’s ability to pay and an assessment of the current economic conditions in determining the net realizable value of its receivables. The company also reviews its allowances for doubtful accounts in aggregate for adequacy following this assessment. Accordingly, the company believes that its allowances for doubtful accounts fairly represent the underlying collectibility risks associated with its accounts receivable.
 
Earnings are charged with a provision for doubtful accounts based on collection experience and current review of the collectibility of accounts receivable. Accounts receivables deemed uncollectible are charged against the allowance for doubtful accounts.
 
Inventory
 
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. The cost is determined by using the first-in first-out method. At August 31, 2005, Eagle’s inventory totaled $802,000 as compared to $403,000 at August 31, 2004. The majority of this increase is in the company’s work in process inventory anticipating plan customer orders in the near future. In the year ended August 31, 2005, the company had an impairment charge of $300,000 related to a partial impairment of inventory on hand as of August 31, 2004.  Management had reasonably identified prospects for this inventory at August 31, 2004, which did not materialize as planned in fiscal 2005.  At the end of fiscal 2004, management incorporated “just in time” inventory practices to avoid inventory obsolesce. The company continues to outsource production as needed based on contract orders from customers.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
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. Currently, there would be no effect of this proposed statement on our financial position and results of operations.
 
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.

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: one that provides for prospective application and two that provide for retrospective application. The company intends to adopt SFAS 123R prospectively commencing in the second quarter of the fiscal year ending August 31, 2006, and it will have a significant impact on the consolidated statement of operations as the company will be required to expense the fair value of stock option grants and stock purchases under employee stock purchase plan. 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.

Item 9A.    Controls and Procedures.
 
Attached as exhibits to this Form 10-K are certifications of our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), which are required in accordance with Rule 13a-14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). This section includes information concerning the controls and controls evaluation referred to in those certifications. Page F-2 of this Form 10-K sets forth the report of Lopez, Blevins, Bork & Associates, LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, regarding its audit of our internal control over financial reporting and of management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting set forth below in this section. This section should be read in conjunction with the certifications and the auditor’s report for a more complete understanding of the topics presented.
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
We conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (Disclosure Controls) as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-K. The controls evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our CEO and CFO. Disclosure Controls are controls and procedures designed to reasonably assure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Form 10-K, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure Controls are also designed to reasonably assure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our quarterly evaluation of Disclosure Controls includes an evaluation of some components of our internal control over financial reporting, and internal control over financial reporting is also separately evaluated on an annual basis for purposes of providing the management report which is set forth below.
 
-23-

 
The evaluation of our Disclosure Controls included a review of the controls’ objectives and design, the company’s implementation of the controls and the effect of the controls on the information generated for use in this Form 10-K. In the course of the controls evaluation, we reviewed identified data errors, control problems or acts of fraud and sought to confirm that appropriate corrective actions, including process improvements, were being undertaken. This type of evaluation is performed on a quarterly basis so that the conclusions of management, including the CEO and CFO, concerning the effectiveness of the Disclosure Controls can be reported in our periodic reports on Form 10-Q and Form 10-K. Many of the components of our Disclosure Controls are also evaluated on an ongoing basis by a third-party consultant and our Accounting Department. The overall goals of these various evaluation activities are to monitor our Disclosure Controls, and to modify them as necessary. Our intent is to maintain the Disclosure Controls as dynamic systems that change as conditions warrant.
 
Based upon the controls evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that, subject to the limitations noted in this Part II, Item 9A, as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-K, our Disclosure Controls were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC, and that material information relating to Intel and its consolidated subsidiaries is made known to management, including the CEO and CFO, particularly during the period when our periodic reports are being prepared.
 
Management Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
Management assessed our internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2005, the end of our fiscal year. Management based its assessment on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Management’s assessment included evaluation of such elements as the design and operating effectiveness of key financial reporting controls, process documentation, accounting policies, and our overall control environment. This assessment is supported by testing and monitoring performed both by a third-party consultant and our Accounting Department.
 
Based on our assessment, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of the end of the fiscal year to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. We reviewed the results of management’s assessment with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.
 
Our independent registered public accounting firm, Lopez, Blevins, Bork & Associates, LLP, audited management’s assessment and independently assessed the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Lopez, Blevins, Bork & Associates, LLP, has issued an attestation report concurring with management’s assessment, which is included at Page F-2 of this Form 10-K.
 
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
 
Our management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that our Disclosure Controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

To the Board of Directors
Eagle Broadband, Inc.
Houston, Texas
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Eagle Broadband, Inc. as of August 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended August 31, 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of Eagle Broadband, Inc.’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Eagle Broadband, Inc. as of August 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended August 31, 2005, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
We also have audited, in accordance with the Standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated November 18, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
 
To the Board of Directors
Eagle Broadband, Inc.
Houston, Texas
 
 
We have audited management’s assessment, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting in Item 9A, that Eagle Broadband, Inc. maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
In our opinion, management’s assessment that Eagle Broadband, Inc. maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2005, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the COSO criteria. Also, in our opinion, Eagle Broadband, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2005, based on the COSO criteria.
 
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Eagle Broadband, Inc. as of August 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended August 31, 2005 and our report dated November 18, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

As of August 31, 2005, the Company’s active subsidiaries were: Eagle Broadband Services, Inc., D.S.S. Security, Inc., operating as Eagle Broadband Security, EBI Funding Corporation, and Etoolz, Inc. Additionally, Eagle has a number of inactive subsidiaries that had results in one or more of the periods included in the financial statements covered by this report. These inactive subsidiaries include: Clearworks Communications, Inc., Clearworks.net, Inc., Clearworks Home Systems, Inc., Contact Wireless, Inc., United Computing Group, Inc., Atlantic Pacific Communications, and Link-Two Communications, Inc. Eagle has incorporated certain ongoing operations of the inactive subsidiaries into the active subsidiaries listed above, including Atlantic Pacific Communications, Inc. and Clearworks Communications, Inc. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
B) Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
The Company considers all highly liquid financial instruments with original maturities to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash deposits in banks which from time to time exceed the amount of deposit insurance available. Management periodically assesses the financial condition of the institutions and believes that any potential credit loss is minimal.
 
The Company had $4,020,000 and $2,051,000 of cash and cash equivalents invested in interest bearing accounts at August 31, 2005 and August 31, 2004, respectively.
 
In conjunction with the Company’s agreement with a third-party provider, the Company has an irrevocable Letter of Credit secured with restricted cash of $203,000 as of August 31, 2005.
 
C) Allowance Method Used to Record Bad Debts
 
The Company uses the allowance method to account for uncollectible accounts receivable. The Company’s estimate is based on historical collection experience and a review of the current status of accounts receivable. The Company reviews its accounts receivable balances by customer for accounts greater than 90 days old and makes a determination regarding the collectibility of the accounts based on specific circumstances and the payment history that exists with such customers. The Company also takes into account its prior experience, the customer’s ability to pay and an assessment of the current economic conditions in determining the net realizable value of its receivables. The Company also reviews its allowances for doubtful accounts in aggregate for adequacy following this assessment. Accordingly, the Company believes that its allowances for doubtful accounts fairly represent the underlying collectibility risks associated with its accounts receivable.

D) Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated by using the straight-line method for financial reporting and accelerated methods for income tax purposes. The recovery classifications for these assets are listed as follows:
 
 
   
Years 
 
Headend Facility and Fiber Infrastructure
   
20
 
Manufacturing Equipment
   
3-7
 
Furniture and Fixtures
   
2-7
 
Office Equipment
   
5
 
Leasehold Improvements
   
Life of lease
 
Property and Equipment
   
5
 
Vehicles
   
5
 
 
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged against income as incurred whereas major improvements are capitalized. Eagle has acquired all of its property and equipment with either cash or stock and has not capitalized any interest expenses in its capital assets.
 
E) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
The Company reviews long-lived assets for indicators of impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. If the review indicates that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable, the potential impairment is measured based on a projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate that is considered to be commensurate with the risk inherent in the company’s current business model. For purposes of recognition and measurement of an impairment loss, a long-lived asset is grouped with other assets at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets. During the year ended August 31, 2005, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $4,279,405. (See Note 5.)
 
For the year ended August 31, 2004, management assessed long-lived assets for indicators of impairment and determined no impairment charge was required for fixed assets.
 
At August 31, 2003, management determined that a $7,611,000 non-cash impairment charge was necessary against realigned operations and the discontinued sale of low margin commodity products, residential and commercial structured wiring operations and the withdrawal from its Austin area BDS development based on the lack of demand for BDS services resulting from a slower build out of the development than originally projected in conjunction with local market competition. Included in the impairment was the write down of goodwill associated with the Comtel acquisition of $1,878,000.
 
The impairment loss for long-lived assets has been allocated on a pro-rata basis using the relative carrying amounts of those assets, except that the loss allocated to an individual long-lived asset of the group has not reduced the carrying amount of that asset below its fair value. The adjusted carrying amount of the long lived assets is its new cost basis. For a depreciable long-lived asset, the new cost basis shall be depreciated (amortized) over the remaining useful life of that asset.
 
F) Inventories
 
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. The cost is determined by using the FIFO method. Inventories consist of the following items, in thousands:

In the year ended August 31, 2005, the company had an impairment charge of $300,000 related to a partial impairment of inventory on hand as of August 31, 2004.  Management had reasonably identified prospects for this inventory at August 31, 2004, which did not materialize as planned in fiscal 2005.

G) Revenue Recognition
 
The Company designs, manufactures, markets and services its products and services under the names Eagle Broadband, Inc., Eagle Broadband Services, Inc., D.S.S. Security, Inc., doing business as Eagle Broadband Security, and EBI Funding Corporation.
 
Eagle adopted EITF 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables,” in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003. The impact of adopting EITF 00-21 did not have a material effect on Eagle’s results of operations. Eagle’s contracts that contain multiple elements as of August 31, 2004, or prior were immaterial. When elements such as hardware, software and consulting services are contained in a single arrangement, or in related arrangements with the same customer, Eagle allocates revenue to each element based on its relative fair value, provided that such element meets the criteria for treatment as a separate unit of accounting. The price charged when the element is sold separately generally determines fair value. In the absence of fair value for a delivered element, Eagle allocates revenue first to the fair value of the undelivered elements and allocates the residual revenue to the delivered elements. In the absence of fair value for an undelivered element, the arrangement is accounted for as a single unit of accounting, resulting in a delay of revenue recognition for the delivered elements until the undelivered elements are fulfilled. Eagle limits the amount of revenue recognition for delivered elements to the amount that is not contingent on the future delivery of products or services or subject to customer-specified return or refund privileges.
 
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 as a current liability until the service is performed and then recognized in the period in which the service is completed. Eagle’s deferred revenues consist of billings in advance for cable, Internet, security and telephone services, which generally are between one and three months of services. Eagle’s deferred revenues also consist of revenues deferred in conjunction with a twelve-month holdback provision for two contracts executed in fiscal 2005 with Alarm Security Group LLC for purchases of security contracts. Eagle had deferred revenues of $623,000 and $96,000 as of August 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
 
Eagle Broadband, Inc.
 
Eagle designs, manufactures and markets various hardware, software and systems, along with other equipment used in the delivery of broadband, video entertainment and communications services. Revenues from these products are recognized when the product is shipped. Eagle Broadband Inc.’s international product revenues are reported under the category “Products” on Eagle’s Consolidated Statements of Operations included as page F-4 of this report and also under the category “Eagle” within Note 20-Industry Segments.
 
The Company designs, manufactures and markets a complete line of MediaPro IP set-top boxes. Eagle recognizes revenue when set-top boxes are shipped to the customer. The Company’s set-top box revenues are reported under the category “Products” on Eagle’s Consolidated Statements of Operations included as page F-4 of this report and also under the category “Eagle” within Note 20-Industry Segments. Revenue from software consists of software licensing. There is no post-contract customer support. Software revenue is allocated to the license using vendor specific objective evidence of fair value (“VSOE”) or, in the absence of VSOE, the residual method. The price charged when the element is sold separately generally determines VSOE. In the absence of VSOE of a delivered element, Eagle allocates revenue to the fair value of the undelivered elements and the residual revenue to the delivered elements. Eagle recognizes revenue allocated to software licenses at the inception of the license.
 
The Company engages independent agents, resellers and distributors for sales principally in foreign countries and certain geographic regions in the United States. Under the terms of these agreements, these third parties provide the Company with sales leads. The transactions from these third parties are subject to Eagle’s approval prior to sale. In certain circumstances, the sales agent or reseller/distributor receives commissions based on the amount of the sales invoice from the companies to the customer. The sale is recognized at the time of shipment to the customer. These transactions are not a significant portion of total sales in any of the periods presented. Eagle’s Broadband, Inc., revenues are reported under the category “Products” on the company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations included as page F-4 of this report and also under the category “Eagle” within Note 20-Industry Segments.
 
The Company sells and installs structured wiring, audio and visual components to homes. Eagle recognizes revenue and the related costs at the time the services are performed. Revenue is derived from the billing of structured wiring to homes and the sale of audio and visual components to the homebuyers. For consistency with prior period reporting, Eagle’s residential structured wiring revenues are reported under the category “Structured Wiring” on Eagle’s Consolidated Statements of Operations included as page F-4 of this report and also under the category “APC/HSI” within Note 20-Industry Segments.
F-9

 
Eagle Broadband Services, Inc. (BDS)
 
Eagle Broadband Services, Inc. provides bundled digital services to business and residential customers, primarily in the Texas market. Revenue is derived from fees charged for the delivery of bundled digital services, which includes telephone, long distance, Internet, security monitoring and cable services. This subsidiary recognizes revenue and the related costs at the time the services are rendered. Installation fees are recognized upon completion and acceptance. The revenues are reported under the category “Broadband Services” on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations included as page F-4 of this report and also under the category “EBS/DSS” within Note 20-Industry Segments.
 
Eagle Broadband Services, Inc. provides project planning, installation, project management, testing and documentation of fiber and cable to commercial and industrial clients throughout the United States. The revenue from the fiber and cable installation and services is recognized upon percentage of completion of the project. Most projects are completed in less than one month, therefore, matching revenue and expense in the period incurred. Service, training and extended warranty contract revenues are recognized as services are completed. For consistency with prior period reporting, Eagle’s communications services revenues are reported under the category “Structured Wiring” on Eagle’s Consolidated Statements of Operations included as page F-4 of this report and also under the category “APC/HSI” within Note 20-Industry Segments.
 
Eagle Broadband Services, Inc. provides business-to-business hardware and software network solutions and network monitoring services. The revenue from the hardware and software sales is recognized at the time of shipment. The monitoring services recognition policy is to record revenue on completion. For consistency with prior period reporting, Eagle’s technology services product revenues are reported under the category “Products” while the services components are reported under the category “Other” on Eagle’s Consolidated Statements of Operations included as page F-4 of this report and also under the category “UCG” within Note 20-Industry Segments.
 
D.S.S. Security, Inc. (d/b/a Eagle Broadband Security)
 
D.S.S. Security, Inc. provides security monitoring services to residential and commercial customers, purchases and resells and bundles and sells contracts from its own portfolio to independent third-party companies. Security monitoring customers are billed three months in advance of service usage. The revenues are deferred at the time of billing and ratably recognized over the prepayment period as service is provided. Installation fees are recognized upon completion and acceptance. Revenues from the sale of security monitoring contracts, both purchased and owned, are recognized upon contract execution except for reserves, hold backs or retentions, which are deferred until the contract provisions are fulfilled. Eagle’s security services revenues are reported under the category “Broadband Services” on Eagle’s Consolidated Statements of Operations included as page F-4 of this report and also under the category “EBS/DSS” within Note 20-Industry Segments.
 
Etoolz, Inc.
 
Etoolz, Inc. provides research and development support for all Eagle companies and does not currently provide billable services to independent third parties.
 
H) Research and Development Costs
 
Research and development expenditures are generally charged to operations as incurred. The Company performed research and development activities for internal projects related to its SatMAX non-line-of-sight communications system, IP set-top boxes and its multimedia entertainment centers. Research and development costs of $776,000, $557,000, and $411,000 were expensed for the years ended August 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively. No research and development services were performed for outside parties for the years ended August 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003.
 
I) Income Taxes
 
The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, which requires a change from the deferral method to assets and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Timing differences exist between book income and tax income, which relate primarily to depreciation methods.
F-10

 
J) Net Earnings per Common Share
 
Net earnings per common share are shown as both basic and diluted. Basic earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income less any preferred stock dividends (if applicable) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income less any preferred stock dividends (if applicable) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, plus any dilutive common stock equivalents. The components used for the computations are shown as follows, in thousands:
 

   
2005
 
2004
 
2003
 
Weighted Average Number of Common
Shares Outstanding Including:
             
Basic Common Stock Equivalents

95,465
 
Fully Diluted Common Stock Equivalents
   
241,234
   
185,046
   
95,465
 
 
K) Impairment of Other Intangible Assets
 
Our other intangible assets primarily include contract rights, customer relationships and other intangibles of licenses and permits and other acquired contracts. These intangible assets include the Company rights to deliver bundled digital services such as, Internet, telephone, cable television and security monitoring services to residential and business users. The Company evaluates the recoverability of identifiable intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an intangible asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be deemed necessary when the estimated non-discounted future cash flows are less than the carrying net amount of the asset. If an asset were deemed impaired, the asset’s recorded value would be reduced to fair market value. In determining the amount of the charge to be recorded, the following methods would be utilized to determine fair market value: (i) quoted market prices in active markets, (ii) an estimate based on prices of similar assets, and (iii) an estimate based on valuation techniques. During the year ended August 31, 2005, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $23,912,668 related to intangible assets (see Note 6).
 
L) Impairment of Goodwill
 
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of companies acquired over the fair value of their net assets at the dates of acquisition. Under current accounting pronouncement, the Company is required to annually assess the carrying value of goodwill associated with each of its distinct business units that comprise its business segments of the Company to determine if impairment in value has occurred. The Company updated its assessment as of August 31, 2005 and concluded that based on a valuation model incorporating expected future cash flows in consideration of historical cash flows and results to date, no impairment charge to goodwill was necessary. (See Note 6.)
 
M) Advertising Costs
 
Advertising costs are expensed when incurred. For the years ended August 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003, the Company expensed $80,000, $29,000, and $247,000, respectively.
 
N) Deferred Syndication Costs
 
Deferred syndication costs consist of those expenditures incurred that are directly attributable to fundraising and the collection thereto. Upon successful collection of the funds, all expenses incurred will be reclassified to additional paid in capital and treated as syndication costs; netted against the funds raised.
 
O) 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 asset 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.
F-11

 
P) Marketable Securities
 
The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” and SFAS No. 130, “Accounting for Other Comprehensive Income.” The Company had securities available for sale that included shares of common stock and bonds. These investments have a fair market value of $0 and of $551,000 and are included in the Balance Sheet category “Securities Available for Sale” as of August 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. (See Note 11.)
 
Q) Other Comprehensive Income
 
In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, “Other Comprehensive Income,” effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. This statement considers the presentation of unrealized holding gains and losses attributable to debt and equity securities classified as available for sale. As stated, any unrealized holding gains or losses affiliated with these securities are carried below net income under the caption “Other Comprehensive Income.” For the fiscal years ended August 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, other comprehensive loss was $0, $321,000, and $71,000, respectively.
 
R) Reclassification
 
The Company has reclassified certain assets, costs and expenses for the years ended August 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, to facilitate comparisons.
 
S) Supporting Costs in Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

T) Recent Pronouncements
 
In April 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 145 (“SFAS 145”), “Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections,” which requires that the extinguishment of debt not be considered an extraordinary item under APB Opinion No. 30 (“APB 30”), “Reporting the Results of Operations-Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions,” unless the debt extinguishment meets the “unusual in nature and infrequent of occurrence” criteria in APB 30. SFAS 145 is effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002, and, upon adoption, companies must reclassify prior period items that do not meet the extraordinary item classification criteria in APB 30. The Company adopted SFAS 145 and related rules as of August 31, 2002. The adoption of SFAS 145 had no effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
 
In July 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146 (“SFAS 146”), “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities,” which nullifies EITF Issue No. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring).” SFAS 146 requires that costs associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized only when the liability is incurred (that is, when it meets the definition of a liability in the FASB’s conceptual framework). SFAS 146 also establishes fair value as the objective for initial measurement of liabilities related to exit or disposal activities. SFAS 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company adopted SFAS 146 in the first quarter of fiscal 2003.
F-12

 
In January 2003, FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46), an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, which requires the Company to consolidate variable interest entities for which it is deemed to be the primary beneficiary and disclose information about variable interest entities in which it has a significant variable interest. FIN 46 became effective immediately for variable interest entities formed after January 31, 2003 and effective for periods ending after December 15, 2003, for any variable interest entities formed prior to February 1, 2003. The Company does not believe that this Interpretation will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
 
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. Currently, there would be no effect of this proposed statement on our financial position and results of operations.
 
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.
 
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: one that provides for prospective application and two that provide for retrospective application. The Company intends to adopt SFAS 123R prospectively commencing in the second quarter of the fiscal year ending August 31, 2006, and it will have a significant impact on the consolidated statement of operations as the Company will be required to expense the fair value of stock option grants and stock purchases under employee stock purchase plan. 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.
 
U) Product Warranties
 
The Company warrants its products against defects in design, materials and workmanship generally for six months to a year. Other warranties from our vendors which are incorporated in our products are passed on to the customer at the completion of the sale. Provision for estimated warranty costs is made in the period in which such costs become probable. Historically, Eagle has not incurred any material warranty costs and, accordingly, Eagle has not accrued for these costs at August 31, 2005 and 2004. Eagle provides for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time it recognizes revenue. Eagle engages in product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of its component suppliers; however, ongoing product failure rates, material usage and service delivery costs incurred in correcting a product failure, as well as specific product class failures outside of Eagle’s baseline experience, affect the estimated warranty obligation. If actual product failure rates, material usage or service delivery costs differ from estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability would be required.
F-13

 
V) Beneficial Conversion Values:
 
Beneficial conversion values are calculated at the difference between the conversion price and the fair value of the common stock into which the debt is convertible, multiplied by the number of shares into which the debt is convertible. The beneficial conversion value is charged to interest expense because the debt is convertible at the date of issuance. The value is limited to the total proceeds received.
 
W) Direct Financing Leases
 
Income from direct financing lease transactions is reported using the financing method of accounting, in which the company investment in the leased property is reported as a receivable from the lessee to be recovered through future rentals. The income portion of each rental payment is calculated so as to generate a constant rate of return on the net receivable outstanding. All of our financing leases are for products related to the multi media industry. The term of our leases is typically 48 months and open ended leases, meaning that potential residual risk, or the difference between the fair market value of the equipment and the amount owed to us, lies with the customer.
 
NOTE 2 - Related Party Transactions
 
In February 2004, compensation for certain officers and key employees under incentive clauses of their employment contracts (i) includes a non-cash expense of $4,493,000 incurred on the issuance of promissory notes upon the modification of outstanding options for 4,200,000 common shares and (ii) reflects a guaranteed compensation of the modified options equivalent to $1.75 less the option strike price, which was an additional $4,074,000 accrued in August 2004. The amount of the accrual varies at each quarter end depending on the stock market value fluctuation or upon exercise of options subject to employment agreements.
 
In June 2005, the Company entered into note exchange agreements with Jonathan Hayden, Billie Mize, John Nagel and David Weisman in which the Company issued 7,954,085 shares of its common stock to fully satisfy the Company’s outstanding guarantee obligations in the amount of $2,086,251, and any remaining obligations under the promissory notes. The note exchange agreements also fully satisfy the Company’s contingent guarantee obligation with respect to unexercised options held by Mr. Hayden and Mr. Nagel.
 
Dr. H. Dean Cubley, a director and former officer of the company, did not enter into the note exchange agreement. The remaining principal amount of $1,924,000 is currently in default and is accruing interest under the terms of the original agreement.
 
For the year ended August 31, 2005, accrued interest payable and interest expense was $154,922.

Eagle expenses repairs and maintenance against income as incurred, whereas major improvements are capitalized. Eagle defines major improvements as those assets acquired that extend the life of the underlying base asset, while defining other improvements that do not extend the life as repairs and maintenance. Eagle expensed repairs and maintenance of $65,000, $43,000 and $47,000 for the years ended August 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively, whereas it did not have any major improvements for the same time periods.
 
Eagle’s headend facilities and fiber infrastructure consist primarily of digital computing and telecommunications equipment that comprise the Company’s main headend facility at its headquarters, wireless headend equipment, a digital headend facility and a fiber backbone in the master planned communities in which it operates and a fiber ring connecting the various master planned communities in the Houston area. The Company determined that twenty-year straight-line depreciation method is appropriate for its headend facilities and fiber infrastructure based on industry standards for these asset types.

NOTE 5 - Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 (SFAS 144), “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” requires that long-lived assets (asset groups) shall be tested for recoverability whenever events or change in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company’s market capitalization as of year ending August 31, 2005 has been below its shareholder equity which indicated the need to test for recoverability. The Company performed, with the assistance of independent valuation experts, tests to determine if an impairment loss existed. For purposes of recognition and measurement of an impairment loss, a long-lived asset is grouped with other assets at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets.
F-15


These tests took into consideration a number of factors including (i) current market conditions, (ii) the Company’s current and future financial performance, (iii) intrinsic risks evident in the markets in which the Company operates and (iv) the underlying nature of Eagle’s operations and business. Utilizing a fair value standard as set forth in SFAS 144, as of August 31, 2005, management determined an impairment of $3,229,405 existed for certain Houston-area communities where broadband infrastructure had been installed.
 
During the second quarter of 2005, the Company also determined an impairment loss existed primarily for Link-Two Communications, Inc.’s assets. Management determined that the value of the assets was nominal after a review of the marketplace and recorded an impairment loss of $1,050,000.
 
NOTE 6 - Impairment of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
 
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (SFAS 142), “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” requires that goodwill and intangible assets be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment) on an annual basis and between annual tests in certain circumstances. The carrying amount of an intangible asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. That assessment shall be based on the carrying amount of the asset at the date it is tested for recoverability.
 
The Company performed, with the assistance of independent valuation experts, an impairment test of the carrying value of intangible assets. Eagle has intangible assets related to goodwill, contracts, customers, and subscribers. For the year ended August 31, 2005, the Company determined there had been significant erosion of contracts, customers, and subscribers acquired in the January 2001 merger of Clearworks.net, Inc.
 
The Company evaluated and considered two separate methodologies in conducting the analysis and selected the approach assigning the greater value realized from the present value technique or the quoted market approach. The following factors were considered (i) current market conditions, (ii) the Company’s current and future financial performance, (iii) intrinsic risks evident in the markets in which the Company operates and (iv) the underlying nature of Eagle’s operations and business.
 
Utilizing a fair value standard as set forth in SFAS 142, as of August 31, 2005, management determined an impairment charge of $23,912,668 existed for the intangible assets of contract rights, customer relationships and other intangible assets related to the January 2001 merger of Clearworks.net, Inc.
 
Eagle assessed the fair value of goodwill as of August 31, 2005 and concluded that the goodwill valuations remain at an amount greater than the current carrying asset value. Eagle assessed the fair value of the intangible assets as of August 31, 2004 and concluded that the goodwill and other intangible assets valuations remain at an amount greater than the current carrying and other intangible assets value.
 
At August 31, 2003, management determined that a $7,611,000 non-cash impairment charge was necessary against realigned operations and the discontinued sale of low margin commodity products, residential and commercial structured wiring operations and the withdrawal from its Austin area BDS development based on the lack of demand for BDS services resulting from a slower build out of the development than originally projected in conjunction with local market competition. Included in the impairment was the write down of goodwill associated with the Comtel acquisition of $1,878,000.
 
NOTE 7 - Assets Held for Sale
 
The Company entered into an agreement to repurchase security contracts for $1,003,316. Under the terms of the agreement, $985,000 of the $1,003,316 was offset against a receivable the Company had from the seller. These contracts are considered an asset held for sale and are included in other current assets. The company resold approximately 63% of the contracts during the fourth quarter of 2005 and recognized a loss on sale of assets of $15,735 as of August 31, 2005. The Company determined the fair value of the contracts as of August 31, 2005 was $298,000 and recorded an impairment charge of $322,792 to record the contracts at fair value as of August 31, 2005. The Company intends to sell the remainder of these contracts during fiscal 2006.

Between October 30, 2003, and November 5, 2003, the Company sold approximately $4.1 million of convertible debt securities to 36 accredited investors. The securities consisted of $25,000, 12% five-year bonds. The bonds are due and payable upon maturity at the end of the five-year period. Interest on the bonds is payable at the rate of 12% per annum, and is payable semiannually. The bondholder may require the Company to convert the bond (including any unpaid interest) into shares of the Company’s common stock at any time during the first year but not thereafter. The conversion rates vary from $0.50 to $0.75 per share. During the years ended August 31, 2005 and 2004, all of the bonds were redeemed and converted for stock.
 
Eagle entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement dated June 2, 2004, with four accredited investors, pursuant to which Eagle agreed to sell, and the investors agreed to purchase, debentures in the principle amount of $4,888,400 bearing interest at the rate of 8% per annum, maturing in June 2007, convertible into an aggregate of 5,360,088 shares of Eagle common stock, together with five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,340,022 shares of Eagle common stock at an exercise price of $1.265 per share. During the year ended August 31, 2005, all of the bonds were redeemed and converted for stock.

NOTE 10 - Lines of Credit
 
On July 16, 2002, the Company entered into a $20,000,000 line of credit with Cornell Capital Partners, LP (CCP). The Company has not drawn on the line of credit and currently has no plans to do so. One of the issues of the litigation between CCP and the Company  is whether the Company owes CCP a commitment fee for this line of credit. Cornell contends that the Company owes $592,500; the Company denies the liability. (See Note 16  Legal Proceedings.)
 
NOTE 11 - Securities Available for Sale
 
As discussed in Note 1, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” and SFAS No. 130, “Accounting for Other Comprehensive Income.” As of August 31, 2005, the Company had no marketable equity securities.
F-17

 
At August 31, 2004, the securities available for sale include 580,000 shares of Burst.com with a cost basis of $127,832 and a fair market value of $551,000. The Company recognized a loss of $899,347 on the sale of these securities for the year ended August 31, 2005. The Company’s marketable equity securities are classified as available-for-sale.
 
NOTE 12 - Income Taxes
 
The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Implementation of SFAS 109 did not have a material cumulative effect on prior periods nor did it result in a change to the current year’s provision.

NOTE 13 - Stock Options and Warrants
 
In July 1996, the Board of Directors adopted, and the Company’s shareholders approved, the 1996 Incentive Stock Option Plan under which 400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock have been reserved for issuance. In June 2004, the Board of Directors adopted, and the Company’s shareholders approved, the June 2004 Compensatory Stock Option Plan under which 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock has been reserved for issuance. In June 2005, the Board of Directors adopted, and the Company’s shareholders approved, the 2005 Employee Stock Option Plan under which 30,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock has been reserved for issuance. As of August 31, 2005, options issued to employees covering 11,737,968 shares were outstanding, of which 3,762,132 were exercisable.
 
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 123 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 $0.41 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 minimal; 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:

LLV Broadband, LLC Agreement
 
In August 2005, the Company and Neva Holdings, LLC (“Neva”), executed an agreement whereby the parties agreed to terminate the Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement (“LLC Agreement”) that the parties entered into on November 23, 2004. The termination of the agreement provides for the Company’s withdrawal as a member of LLV Broadband, LLC (“LLC”), and complete release from any future obligations under the LLC Agreement. The terms and conditions of the LLC Agreement called for the Company to participate in the construction, development and operation of a system for the provision of a range of broadband, entertainment and communications services to the commercial, recreational and residential buildings located within the Lake Las Vegas Resort and surrounding geographical areas. Under the terms of the LLC Agreement, the Company was required to make a capital contribution of between $3 million and $5 million to fund ongoing development and operating activities. The parties initially estimated that the LLC’s gross revenues would be approximately $15.5 million over a six-year period through the year 2010. As a result of the termination, the Company will not be required to make any additional capital contributions to the LLC and will not recognize any revenues from the LLC. The Company will not incur any early termination penalties associated with the termination of the LLC Agreement.

Legal Proceedings
 
In December 2000, Clearworks.net, Inc. became a defendant in State of Florida Department of Environmental Protection vs. Reco-Tricote, Inc., and Southeast Tire Recycling, Inc., currently known as Clearworks.net, Inc., in the Circuit Court of the Tenth Judicial Circuit in and for Polk County, Florida. The Florida DEP included Clearworks in a lawsuit presenting claims for recovery costs and penalties for a waste tire processing facility. The suit seeks recovery of costs and penalties in a sum in excess of $1 million, attorneys’ fees and cost of court. Clearworks denies the claims against it and intends to vigorously contest all claims in this case and to enforce its indemnification rights against the principals of Southeast Tire Recycling. The Company has not accrued any expenses against this lawsuit, as the outcome cannot be predicted at this time.
 
In July 2003, Eagle became a defendant in Cornell Capital Partners, L.P., vs. Eagle Broadband, Inc., et al., Civil Action No. 03-1860 (KSH), in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. The suit presents claims for breach of contract, state and federal securities fraud and negligent misrepresentation. The plaintiff has also alleged that Eagle has defaulted on a convertible debenture for failing to timely register the shares of common stock underlying the convertible debenture and is seeking to accelerate the maturity date of the debenture. In November 2003, the principal balance of the debenture was repaid, although the suit remains outstanding. Cornell claims damages of approximately $1 million. The Company denies the claims and intends to vigorously defend this lawsuit and the claims against it. Eagle has asserted counterclaims against Cornell for fraud and breach of contract in the amount of $2 million. The company has accrued $416,000 in expenses against this lawsuit, although the outcome cannot be predicted at this time.
 
In September 2003, Enron sued United Computing Group in Enron Corp., et al., vs. United Computing Group, Inc., in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York to avoid and recover a transfer in the amount of approximately $1.5 million. In October 2005, the parties agreed to a dismissal of all adversary proceedings and claims against each other, and in November 2005, the Bankruptcy Court entered orders confirming dismissal of such proceedings and claims.
 
In June 2004, The Tail Wind Fund Ltd. sued Link-Two Communications, Inc., and Eagle Broadband, Inc., Civil Action 04-CV-05776, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. Tail Wind claims breach of contract seeking $25 million. The Company is currently in negotiations with Tail Wind to settle this lawsuit and believes it can be settled out of court. For the year ended August 31, 2004, the Company had accrued $500,000 in expenses for this lawsuit. As of August 31, 2005, the Company has accrued an additional $4.5 million in expenses against this lawsuit for a total accrued liability of $5 million. This amount is included on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of August 31, 2005, as part of accrued expenses.
 
In November 2004, Palisades Master Fund L.P. sued Eagle Broadband, Inc., and David Weisman, Civil Action 04603626, in New York County, New York Supreme Court, seeking an injunction setting a conversion price on certain convertible debt and warrants at $0.4456 per share of Eagle common stock and damages in excess of $3.1 million. In April 2005, the parties entered into a confidential settlement agreement ending this lawsuit.
 
The Company is involved in lawsuits, claims and proceedings, including those identified above, which arise in the ordinary course of business. In accordance with SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies,” Eagle makes a provision for a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company believes it has adequate provisions for any such matters. The Company reviews these provisions at least quarterly and adjusts these provisions to reflect the impacts of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular case. Litigation is inherently unpredictable. However, the Company believes that it has valid defenses with respect to legal matters pending against it. Nevertheless, it is possible that cash flows or results of operations could be materially affected in any particular period by the unfavorable resolution of one or more of these contingencies.

NOTE 22 - Equity Financing
 
On February 14, 2005, the Company completed the sale of 20 million shares of its common stock to certain investors at a price of $0.41 per share. The net proceeds to the Company from this offering after placement agent fees and offering expenses were $7,504,000.
 
On April 15, 2005, the Company additionally completed the sale of 10 million shares of its common stock to certain investors at a price of $0.2035 per share. The net proceeds to the Company from this offering after placement agent fees were $1,935,000.
 
In August 2005, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with certain investors for the sale of 30 million shares of its common stock at a price of $0.135 per share. As of August 31, 2005, 15,125,000 of the 30 million shares were issued. The remaining 14,875,000 shares were not issued due to notification from the AMEX to obtain shareholder approval. (See Note 24-Subsequent Events.) The net proceeds to the Company from this offering after placement agent fees were $3,766,500.
 
During the year ended August 31, 2005, the Company entered into an agreement with a former employee whereby the Company utilized his services as a settlement consultant. Under the agreement, the consultant received approximately 15.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock that were liquidated by the consultant and the proceeds were used to discharge certain obligations of the Company. The consultant settled approximately $6.5 million in liabilities. In connection with this agreement, the company incurred fees of approximately $1.7 million. The settlement consultant also made cash advances to the company of approximately $1.4 million which was repaid in stock. Fees and interest incurred by the Company associated with the advances were approximately $362,000.
 
NOTE 23 - Exit Activities
 
During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2003, we implemented cost reductions in various operating segments. In the aggregate, the Company reduced its overall personnel by 114 headcount or a 50% reduction for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2003 as compared to the fiscal year ended August 31, 2002. The predominate reduction in headcount related to the Company’s Atlantic Pacific/Homes Systems structured wiring and commercial cabling segment with headcount reductions of nine, six and 57 personnel in the first three quarters of fiscal 2003; aggregating an overall headcount reduction of 72 or 71% of this segment’s workforce. Additionally, the Company reduced its United Computing Group computer hardware sales segment by 18, nine, and two personnel in the first three quarters of fiscal 2003; aggregating an overall reduction of 29 or 59% of this segment’s workforce. These two operating segments accounted for 101 of the 114 headcount reductions affected in fiscal 2003. Specifically, certain components of these operating segments, i.e., home systems structured wiring, commercial cabling and computer hardware sales, were not expected to provide significant long-term revenues and profitability, and therefore were reduced.  Following the series of cost reduction activities implemented during the first three quarters of fiscal 2003, Eagle’s management assessed the viability of continued financial investment in these unprofitable segments in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003 and into early first quarter of fiscal 2004 and made further reductions. In conjunction with the appointment of Mr. Weisman as our new Chief Executive Officer in early October 2003, the Company completed the final consolidation of the United Computing Group segment into other Eagle operations while further reducing the Atlantic Pacific/Home Systems operations to an outsource commercial cabling and structured wiring operation that project manages affiliate contractors.
 
Additionally, in conjunction with the appointment of Mr. Weisman as Chief Executive Officer, the Company made certain decisions during the preparation of its Form 10-K in our first quarter of fiscal 2004 that affected the value of certain assets as of August 31, 2003. These decisions included:
 
 
·
A revised collection assessment of certain accounts receivables from these and other down-sized Eagle business segments.
 
 
·
The decision to no longer pursue new commercial structured cabling opportunities on a direct basis versus the outsource model, thereby resulting in the impairment of goodwill from its Atlantic Pacific operations.
 
 
·
The decision to no longer pursue Home Systems structured wiring opportunities on a direct standalone model basis outside its BDS model, thereby resulting in the impairment of its Home Systems inventory.
 
 
·
The decision to withdraw from certain unprofitable BDS projects, namely its Austin area BDS developments thereby impairing certain assets including property, plant and equipment.
 
 
·
The decision to settle numerous existing and threatened legal proceedings versus continuing the timing consuming and costly process of defending such proceedings, thereby resulting in the accrual of numerous reserves for such settlements.
 
 
·
The decisions to consolidate its operating segments into its corporate lease space, thereby resulting in reserves for property lease settlements.
 
F-25

 
 
·
The decision to negotiate the settlement of certain sales tax liabilities that resulted from a sales tax audit of United Computing Group operations for periods that preceded the acquisition date of this subsidiary.
 
Accordingly, Eagle incurred certain asset impairments and operating charges in the fourth quarter associated with these decisions. These asset impairment charges, allowances, write-offs and reserves included the following:
 
 
·
Accounts receivable write-offs and reserves aggregating $2,177,000, of which $1,348,000 was attributable to the decisions affecting the Company’s Atlantic Pacific/Home Systems operations, $15,000 attributable to the decisions affecting its United Computing Group operations and $814,000 attributable to the Company’s Eagle, EBS and Other segment operations.
 
 
·
Inventory impairment charges of $2,627,000, of which $501,000 was attributable to the decisions affecting the Company’s Atlantic Pacific/Home Systems operations and $74,000 attributable to the decisions affecting its United Computing Group operations. Additionally, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $1,125,000 for slow-moving and obsolete inventory in its Eagle operations. This charge primarily resulted from a major client’s decision to upgrade from a 400 MHz chip to a 500 MHz chip for the Company’s IP set top box.
 
 
·
Litigation settlement costs and reserves of $3,650,000 against certain of the legal proceedings previously discussed in Item 3. Legal Proceedings. Additionally, the Company recorded charges aggregating $2,274,000 to settle threatened and existing legal proceeding associated with prior financing transactions, including the Kaufman litigation.
 
 
·
Lease settlement costs and reserves of $171,000 were attributable to the decision to consolidate various operating segments into its corporate lease space; thereby resulting in reserves for early exit of such leases.
 
 
·
Impairment, write-downs and restructuring costs aggregating $7,611,000, of which $1,878,000 was attributable to an impairment of goodwill in the Company’s Atlantic Pacific operations following the Company’s decision to no longer pursue commercial cabling opportunities on a direct basis versus an outsource model. These costs were also comprised of $3,412,000 in impairment of property and equipment following the Company’s decision to withdraw from certain unprofitable BDS projects, namely in the Austin area, and $323,000 of impairment of property and equipment from the Company’s Atlantic Pacific/Home Systems operations following the decision to no longer pursue structured wiring opportunities on a direct standalone basis outside of its BDS model. Additionally, the aggregate total included a $553,000 charge for certain sales tax liabilities that resulted from an audit of the Company’s United Computing Group operations for time periods that preceded the acquisition date of this operation.
 
Eagle incurred approximately $96,000 for severance and accrued vacation related to employees terminated in fiscal 2003. Eagle does not expect to incur any additional future period costs associated with such restructuring activities other than those accrued for and recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003.

For the year ended August 31, 2003, the Company incurred exit costs of $267,000 which are principally severance and lease termination costs. The total expected exit costs for severance and terminated leases are $96,000 and $171,000, respectively. These costs are included in the consolidated statement of income under the categories of salaries and related costs and other support costs.

NOTE 24 - Subsequent Events
 
In August 2005, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with certain investors for the sale of 30 million shares of its common stock at a price of $0.135 per share, and received total gross proceeds of $4,050,000. On August 26, 2005, the American Stock Exchange approved for listing 15,125,000 of these shares and notified the Company that shareholder approval was required for the issuance of the remaining 14,875,000 shares. On September 2, 2005, the Company voluntarily placed the funds received for the 14,875,000 shares ($2,008,125) into an escrow account pending the shareholder vote. On September 8, 2005, the Company sent a revised proxy statement to its shareholders adding a fourth proposal to be voted on at its 2005 annual meeting of shareholders, which was scheduled to be held September 20, 2005, to approve the issuance of the 14,875,000 shares. On September 15, 2005, the Company announced its plan to adjourn the 2005 annual meeting until October 18, 2005, to allow shareholders adequate time to receive the revised proxy statement and consider the added proposal. At the October 18, 2005 meeting, shareholders approved the issuance of the 14,875,000 shares, and on October 19, 2005, the escrowed funds were released to the Company. On October 21, 2005, the Company applied for listing the 14,875,000 shares with the American Stock Exchange and received approval on November 17, 2005. The company paid a placement agent a cash commission of 7% of the gross dollar proceeds, and on November 16, 2005, issued such agent a five-year warrant to purchase 843,750 shares of Eagle common stock at an exercise price of $0.24 per share.
 
In October 2005, the Company and Enron Corp. agreed to a dismissal of all adversary proceedings and claims against each other in the proceedings filed against the Company by Enron in September 2003. In November 2005, the Bankruptcy Court entered orders confirming dismissal of such proceedings and claims.
 
On October 18, 2005, the 2005 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Company was held in League City, Texas. At the meeting, four proposals were voted on by the shareholders. The first proposal was for the election of directors of the Company. The following persons were elected: Robert Bach, H. Dean Cubley, Glenn Goerke, David Micek, Lorne Persons, C.J. Reinhartsen and James Yarbrough. The second proposal was to approve the 2005 Employee Stock Option Plan, which was approved by a vote of approximately 72 million shares for and approximately 25 million shares against.
