	Note 1. Organization and Business
	Goodman Networks Incorporated, a Texas corporation, (“Goodman Networks” and collectively with its subsidiaries the “Company”), is a national provider of end-to-end network infrastructure and professional services to the wireless telecommunications industry. The Company’s wireless telecommunications services span the full network lifecycle, including the design, engineering, construction, deployment, integration, maintenance, and decommissioning of wireless networks. Goodman Networks performs these services across multiple network infrastructures, including traditional cell towers as well as next generation small cell and distributed antenna systems (“DAS”). The Company also serves the satellite television industry by providing onsite installation, upgrade and maintenance of satellite television systems to both the residential and commercial markets customers. These highly specialized and technical services are critical to the capability of the Company’s customers to deliver voice, data and video services to their end users.
	Merger with Multiband
	On May 21, 2013, Goodman Networks entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Manatee Merger Sub Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Goodman Networks (“MergerSub”), and Multiband Corporation (“Multiband”), pursuant to which on August 30, 2013, Multiband merged with and into MergerSub, with Multiband surviving the merger (the “Merger”). The aggregate purchase price, excluding merger-related fees and expenses, was approximately $101.1 million. Upon the closing of the Merger, Multiband became a wholly owned subsidiary of Goodman Networks, and Multiband and its subsidiaries became restricted subsidiaries and guarantors under the indenture (the “Indenture”) governing the Company’s 12.125% senior secured notes due 2018 (the “Notes”) and the Company’s amended and restated senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). To finance the Merger the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, sold an additional $100 million of Notes (the “Tack-On Notes”) under terms substantially identical to those of the $225 million aggregate principal amount of Notes issued in June 2011 (the “Original Notes”). The Company paid the remainder of the merger consideration from cash on hand. Upon completion of the Merger, the Company redeemed the Tack-On Notes in exchange for the issuance of an equivalent amount of Notes, which are classified as a long-term liability on the Company’s balance sheet upon the closing of the Merger because they mature in July 2018.
	Sale of MDU Assets
	On December 31, 2013, the Company sold certain assets (the “MDU Assets”) to DIRECTV MDU, LLC (“DIRECTV MDU”), and DIRECTV MDU assumed certain liabilities of the Company, related to the division of the Company’s business involved with the ownership and operation of subscription based video, high-speed internet and voice services and related call center functions to multiple dwelling unit customers, lodging and institution customers and commercial establishments, or, such assets, collectively, the MDU Assets. The operations of the MDU Assets were previously reported in the Company’s “Other Services” segment. In consideration for the MDU Assets, DIRECTV MDU paid the Company $12.5 million and additional non-cash consideration, and extended the existing Multiband/DIRECTV HSP Agreement, resulting in a four-year remaining term ending on December 31, 2017, as well as the assumption of certain liabilities.

Summary of Significant Accounting and Reporting Policies	'
	Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting and Reporting Policies
	Basis of Presentation
	The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in all material respects in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013.
	Because certain information and footnote disclosures have been condensed or omitted, these unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013, which are included in the Company’s annual report for the year ended December 31, 2013 (the “2013 Annual Report”). In management’s opinion, all normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented have been included. Management believes that the disclosures made in these unaudited consolidated financial statements are adequate to make the information not misleading. Interim period operating results do not necessarily indicate the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year.
	There have been no changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies from those that were disclosed in the Company’s 2013 Annual Report.
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Key estimates for the Company include: the recognition of revenue, in particular, estimated losses on long term construction contracts, allowance for doubtful accounts; inventory valuation; asset lives used in computing depreciation and amortization; valuation of intangible assets; valuation of contingent consideration; allowance for self-insurance health care claims incurred but not reported; accounting for stock options and other equity awards, particularly related to fair value estimates; accounting for income taxes; contingencies; and litigation. While management believes that such estimates are reasonable when considered in conjunction with the financial position and results of operations taken as a whole, actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the consolidated financial statements.
	Revenue Recognition
	The Company recognizes revenue when: (i) persuasive evidence of a customer arrangement exists; (ii) the price is fixed or determinable; (iii) collectability is reasonably assured and (iv) product delivery has occurred or services have been rendered. The Company recognizes revenue as services are performed and completed.
	The Company enters into contracts that require the construction and/or installation of specific units within a network system. Revenue from construction and installation contracts is recorded using the completed contract method of accounting. Under the completed contract method, revenues and costs from construction and installation projects are recognized only upon substantial completion of the project. Project costs typically include direct materials, labor and subcontractor costs, and indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, and tools. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are recognized when it has been determined that a loss is probable.
	The Company also enters into contracts to provide engineering and integration services related to network architecture, transformation, reliability and performance. Revenues and costs from service contracts are generally recognized at the time the services are completed under the completed performance model. Services are generally performed under master or other services agreements and are billed on a contractually agreed price per unit of service on a work order basis. The total amount of progress payments netted against contract costs on uncompleted contracts as of December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014 was $197.9 million and $175.5 million, respectively.

	Acquisition of the Custom Solutions Group of Cellular Specialties, Inc.
	On February 28, 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the assets of the Custom Solutions Group of Cellular Specialties, Inc. (“CSG”), which provides indoor and outdoor wireless DAS and Wi-Fi solutions, services, consultations and maintenance. The purchase price consists of $18.0 million in cash, earn-out payments of up to an aggregate of $17.0 million through December 31, 2015 and the assumption of certain liabilities related to the acquired business. The Company acquired CSG to expand its in-building DAS, small cell and Wi-Fi offload solutions.
	The following table summarizes the consideration transferred to acquire CSG and the amounts of identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date (in thousands):
	Cash	$	18,000
	Contingent consideration		9,163
	Total purchase price		27,163
	Current assets (accounts receivable, inventory		13,568
	and other current assets)
	Non-current assets		541
	Intangible assets		11,720
	Goodwill		8,648
	Total assets acquired		34,477
	Current liabilities		7,276
	Non-current liabilities		38
	Total liabilities assumed		7,314
	Net assets acquired	$	27,163
	The acquisition of CSG includes a contingent consideration arrangement that requires additional consideration to be paid by the Company to CSG’s former owners based upon the financial performance of CSG over a three-year period immediately following the close of the acquisition. Amounts payable under the contingent consideration arrangement are payable annually over a three-year period. The range of undiscounted amounts the Company could pay under the arrangement is between $0 and $17.0 million. The fair value of the contingent consideration recognized on the acquisition date of $9.2 million was estimated by applying the income approach. That measure is based on significant inputs not observable in the market, which is referred to as a Level 3 input. The liability for the contingent consideration is included within accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company recorded $0.2 million of accretion expense which is recorded within interest expense on the consolidated statement of operations.
	The Company acquired $7.4 million of gross contractual accounts receivable. The fair value of the acquired receivables was $7.4 million, as the Company expects the entire amount to be collectible.
	The goodwill is attributable to the workforce of the acquired business and the synergies expected to arise after the Company’s acquisition of CSG. The goodwill has been assigned in its entirety to the Professional Services segment. Goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.
	As part of the purchase price, the Company determined that its separately identifiable intangible assets were its customer backlog, customer relationships, non-compete agreements and trade name. The intangible assets including goodwill were assigned to the Company’s Professional Services reporting unit. The Company used the income approach to value the identifiable intangibles, which is a Level 3 measurement. This approach calculates fair value by discounting the after-tax cash flow back to a present value. The baseline data for this analysis was the cash flow estimates used to price the transaction. Cash flows were forecasted and then discounted using a discount rate applicable to the intangible asset and reporting unit. Discount rates ranged from 18.5% to 23% and are based on the estimated weighted average cost of capital which employs an estimate of the required equity rate of return and after-tax cost of debt for the reporting unit.
	The following table is a summary of the fair value estimates of the identifiable intangibles and their weighted-average useful lives:
		Estimated Useful Life (Years)		Fair Value
	Intangible asset – customer backlog		0.5	$	1,400
	Intangible asset – customer relationships		12		6,610
	Intangible asset – noncompete agreements		5		3,150
	Intangible asset – trade name		1.25		560
	Total intangible assets			$	11,720
	The Company incurred approximately $0.7 million of acquisition related costs, $0.4 million of which was recorded in selling, general and administrative costs for the three months ended March 31, 2013. No expenses related to the acquisition have been capitalized.
	Acquisition of Design Build Technologies
	On August 8, 2013, the Company acquired 100% the assets of Design Build Technologies, LLC (“DBT”), a former subcontractor of the Company in the southeast region of the United States, for $1.3 million in cash. The Company received certain assets, tower crews, and a non-compete agreement from the owner of DBT, who became an employee of the Company upon the close of the transaction. The addition of DBT augments Goodman Networks’ existing workforce capabilities and reduces its dependence on subcontractors.
	The following table summarizes the consideration transferred to acquire DBT and the amounts of identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date (in thousands):
	Cash	$	1,306
	Contingent consideration		741
	Total purchase price		2,047
	Current assets		8
	Non-current assets		157
	Goodwill		1,882
	Total assets acquired	$	2,047
	The acquisition of DBT includes a contingent consideration arrangement that requires additional consideration to be paid by the Company to DBT’s former owners based upon the retention of specified thresholds of tower crew personnel measured at the end of each of the six quarterly periods subsequent to the acquisition. Amounts payable under the contingent consideration arrangement are payable quarterly over an 18-month period. The range of undiscounted amounts the Company could pay under the arrangement is between $0 and $0.9 million. The fair value of the contingent consideration recognized on the acquisition date of $0.7 million was estimated by applying the income approach. That measure is based on significant inputs not observable in the market, which is referred to as a Level 3 input. The liability for the contingent consideration is included within accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.
	The goodwill is attributable to the workforce of the acquired business and the synergies expected to arise after the Company’s acquisition of DBT. The goodwill has been assigned in its entirety to the Infrastructure Services segment. Goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.
	Merger with Multiband
	On August 30, 2013, the Company completed its acquisition of Multiband. The aggregate purchase price, excluding merger-related fees and expenses, was approximately $101.1 million. The Merger provided the Company with customer diversification, a large and talented work force and new strategic capabilities. The Company believes the Merger will allow the combined company to continue to serve its current customers, while enabling it to support emerging wireless opportunities, such as the evolution toward small cell architectures currently occurring in the telecommunications industry.
	The following table summarizes the consideration transferred to acquire Multiband and the amounts of identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date (in thousands):
	Cash	$	101,092
	Total purchase price		101,092
	Accounts receivable		28,035
	Inventory		9,984
	Deferred tax assets		1,665
	Other current assets		9,367
	Non-current assets		27,279
	Intangible assets		33,640
	Goodwill		58,648
	Total assets acquired		168,618
	Accounts payable		23,358
	Accrued liabilities		22,902
	Other current liabilities		5,291
	Other non-current liabilities		15,975
	Total liabilities assumed		67,526
	Net assets acquired	$	101,092
	The Company acquired $28.4 million of gross contractual accounts receivable. The fair value of the acquired receivables was $28.0 million, which is the amount the Company expects to be collectible.
	The goodwill is attributable to the workforce of the acquired business and the synergies expected to arise after the Company’s acquisition of Multiband. The goodwill has been assigned primarily to the Field Services segment. The Company does not expect the goodwill to be deductible for tax purposes.
	As part of the purchase price, the Company determined that its separately identifiable intangible assets were its customer contracts, customer relationships, customer backlog, trade name, software and right of entry contracts. The intangible assets including goodwill were assigned to two of the Company’s four reporting units, Field Services and Other. The Company used the income approach to value the identifiable intangibles, which is a Level 3 measurement. This approach calculates fair value by discounting the after-tax cash flow back to a present value. The baseline data for this analysis was the cash flow estimates used to price the transaction. Cash flows were forecasted and then discounted using a discount rate applicable to the intangible asset and reporting unit. Discount rates ranged from 9.5% to 11.5% and are based on the estimated weighted average cost of capital which employees an estimate of the required equity rate of return and after-tax cost of debt for each reporting unit.
Because the Merger was accounted for as a stock purchase, assets acquired cannot be revalued for tax purposes; accordingly, a deferred tax asset of $1.7 million was recorded at the date of the Merger for the book tax cost basis difference related to the assets.
The following table is a summary of the fair value estimates of the identifiable intangibles and their weighted-average useful lives (dollars in thousands):
	Estimated Useful Life (Years)		Fair Value
Intangible asset – customer contracts	9.0 - 10.0		$	24,900
Intangible asset – customer relationships		12		1,100
Intangible asset – customer backlog		0.5		70
Intangible asset – trade name		5		3,700
Intangible asset – software		4.8		3,810
Intangible asset – right of entry contracts		2		60
Total intangible assets			$	33,640
As of December 31, 2012, Multiband had generated net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”), of approximately $47.5 million to reduce future federal taxable income and $46.0 million to reduce future state taxable income. Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), limits a corporation’s future ability to utilize any NOLs generated before a change in ownership, as well as certain subsequently recognized “built-in” losses and deductions, if any, existing as of the date of the change in ownership. As a result of the Merger, Multiband’s ability to utilize NOLs may be subject to additional limitations under Section 382 of the Code.
The amounts recorded for the acquired deferred taxes assets and liabilities are provisional pending receipt of the final valuations for those assets.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, all restricted stock and stock options held by directors and employees of Multiband as of the Merger date became fully vested. The Company recorded a charge of $1.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013 for the acceleration of these awards, which has been recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses.
The Company incurred approximately $3.8 million of acquisition related costs, $0 of which was recorded in selling, general and administrative costs for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2014. No expenses related to the acquisition have been capitalized.

	The terms of the Indenture require the Company to meet certain ratio tests giving effect to anticipated transactions, including borrowing debt and making restricted payments prior to entering these transactions. These ratio tests are, as defined per the Indenture, a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of at least 2.00 to 1.00 (which was 0.58 to 1.00 at March 31, 2014) and a Total Leverage Ratio not greater than 2.50 to 1.00 (which was 13.91 to 1.00 at March 31, 2014). The holders of the Notes granted a waiver to these covenants in conjunction with the issuance of the Tack-On Notes, and the Company has not entered into any other transaction that requires it to meet these tests as of March 31, 2014. Had the Company been required to meet these ratio tests as of March 31, 2014, the Company would not have met the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio or the Total Leverage Ratio.
	Under the terms of the Credit Facility the Company must maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio equal to at least 1.25 to 1.00 (which ratio was 1.03 to 1.00 at March 31, 2014) and a Leverage Ratio no greater than 6.00 to 1.00 (which ratio was 8.45 to 1.00 at March 31, 2014) during such time as a Triggering Event is continuing. A “Triggering Event” occurs when the Company’s undrawn availability (measured as of the last date of each month) on the Credit Facility has failed to equal at least $10 million for two consecutive months and continues until undrawn availability equals $20 million for at least three consecutive months. The Company is only required to maintain such ratios at such time that a Triggering Event is in existence. Failure to comply with such ratios during the existence of a Triggering Event constitutes an Event of Default (as defined therein) under the Credit Facility. Had the Company been required to meet these ratio tests as of March 31, 2014, the Company would not have met the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio or the Leverage Ratio (in each case with respect to the ratio required for the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2014).
	The mortgage payable related to the Multiband headquarters building was refinanced with Commerce Bank on March 28, 2014, with an interest rate of 5.75% per annum and fifty-nine required monthly payments of principal and interest of $31,000 through March 2019.  A final payment of $2.9 million is also due in March 2019.  As additional collateral for the mortgage, Multiband Special Purpose, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“MBSP”), deposited $1.0 million in the lender’s favor, which is classified as deposits and other assets on the balance sheet at March 31, 2014.
	The original mortgage related to the Multiband headquarters building from American United Life Insurance Company was paid in full on March 28, 2014.  The related letter of credit issued in the lender’s favor as collateral for the mortgage by MBSP, and fully backed by a certificate of deposit held by the lender of $1.4 million, was repaid to Multiband in April 2014.

Leases

Leases	'
	Note 6. Leases
	The Company leases certain equipment under capital leases. The economic substance of these leases is that the Company is financing the acquisition of the equipment through the leases and accordingly, the equipment is recorded as an asset and the leases are recorded as liabilities.
	Operating lease commitments relate primarily to rental of the facilities and equipment under non-cancellable operating lease agreements that expire at various dates through the year 2017. Rent expense for operating leases was approximately $1.9 million and $6.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively.

Fair Value Measurements	'
	Note 7. Fair Value Measurements
	The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, costs in excess of billings on uncompleted projects, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are reflected in the consolidated balance sheet at historical cost, which is materially representative of their fair value due to the relatively short-term maturities of these assets and liabilities.
	The carrying value of the capital lease obligations approximates fair value because they bear interest at rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.
	The carrying value and fair value of the Notes as of March 31, 2014 were $327.0 million and $346.1 million, respectively. Fair value for the Notes is a Level 2 measurement and has been based on the over-the-counter market trading price as of March 31, 2014.
	The Company has certain contingent liabilities related to the DBT and CSG acquisitions. The Company adjusts these liabilities to fair value at each reporting period. The Company values contingent consideration related to acquisitions on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs such as forecasted net revenue and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and discount rates. The liability related to these contingent consideration arrangements was $10.2 million as of March 31, 2014.

	As of March 31, 2014, there were approximately $7.0 million of unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested stock options. These costs are expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted average vesting period of 0.9 years.
	The compensation expense recognized for outstanding share-based awards for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2014 was $1.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively.
	Warrants
	In October 2010, the Company issued warrants to purchase 160,408 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share, which expire in May 2020, in connection with (1) the issuance of subordinated notes payable to a shareholder in April and May of 2010 and (2) the execution of the First Amendment to the Fifth Amended and Restated Shareholders’ Agreement, dated June 23, 2011, as amended. The fair value of the warrants was recorded as a discount on the subordinated notes payable. During June 2011, the shareholder and holder of the warrants sold 117,050 of those warrants to the Company for $7.5 million. The remaining warrant to purchase 43,358 shares was outstanding and exercisable as of March 31, 2014. In April 2014, all 43,358 outstanding warrants were exercised. In connection with the exercise of the warrants, the Company issued 43,358 shares of common stock and received proceeds of $43,358.

	From time to time, the Company engages in transactions with executive officers, directors, shareholders or their immediate family members of these persons (subject to the terms and conditions of the Notes and the Credit Facility). These transactions are negotiated between related parties without arm’s length bargaining and, as a result, the terms of these transactions could be different than transactions negotiated between unrelated persons.

Commitments and Contingencies	'
	Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies
	General Litigation
	The Company is from time to time party to various lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. These actions typically seek, among other things, compensation for alleged personal injury, breach of contract and/or property damages, punitive damages, civil penalties or other losses, or injunctive or declaratory relief. Based upon information currently available, the Company believes that the ultimate outcome of all current litigation and other claims, individually and taken together, and except as described herein, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.
	Concentration of Credit Risk
	A significant portion of the Company’s revenue is derived from three significant customers. The following table reflects the percentage of total revenue from those customers for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2014:
		Three Months Ended March 31,
		2013			2014
	Subsidiaries of AT&T Inc.		85.7	%		61.2	%
	DIRECTV		0	%		21.6	%
	Alcatel-Lucent		8	%		4.2	%
	Other		6.3	%		13	%
	Amounts due from these significant customers at December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014 are as follows (in thousands):
		31-Dec-13			31-Mar-14

	DIRECTV		10,699			10,868
	Alcatel-Lucent		8,211			4,351
		$	89,336		$	60,381
	A loss of any of these customers would have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company.
	Indemnities
	The Company generally indemnifies its customers for services it provides under its contracts which may subject the Company to indemnity claims, liability and related litigations. As of December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014, the Company was not aware of any material asserted or unasserted claims in connection with these indemnity obligations.
	Guarantees
	In October 2011, the Company issued a letter of credit to a company owned by a relative of the Executive Chairman as a guarantee of a related party’s line of credit. The maximum available to be drawn on the line of credit is $4.0 million. In the event of default on the line of credit by the related party, the Company will have the option either to enter into a note purchase agreement with the lender or to permit a drawing on the letter of credit in an amount not to exceed the amount by which the outstanding obligation exceeds the value of the related party’s collateral securing the line of credit, but in no event more than $4.0 million. The Company’s letter of credit was originally due to expire in July 2012, then subsequently amended to expire in July 2013. Prior to the expiration, the letter of credit was amended to extend the guarantee of the related party’s line of credit until July 2014.
	The Company’s exposure with respect to the letter of credit is supported by a reimbursement agreement from the related party, secured by a pledge of assets and stock of the related party. As of December 31, 2011, the Company concluded that it will likely be required to perform for the full exposure under the guarantee, and therefore, recorded a liability in the amount of $4.0 million as other operating expense and accrued liabilities in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fourth quarter of 2011. This guarantee liability for the full amount of $4.0 million remains in accrued liabilities as of March 31, 2014.
	State Sales Tax
	The Company is routinely subject to sales tax audits that could result in additional sales taxes and interest owed to various taxing authorities. Any additional sales taxes and interest assessed against the Company will be invoiced to the appropriate customer. However, no assurances can be made that such customers would be willing to pay the additional sales tax or interest.
	Legal proceedings involving the U.S. Department of Labor
	In December 2009, the U.S. Department of Labor sued various individuals that are either stockholders, directors, trustees and/or advisors to DirecTECH Holding Company, Inc., or DTHC, and its Employee Stock Ownership Plan. Multiband was not named in this complaint. In May 2011, three of these individuals settled the complaint with the U.S. Department of Labor (upon information and belief, a portion of this settlement was funded by the individuals’ insurance carrier) in the approximate amount of $8.6 million and those same individuals have filed suit against Multiband for reimbursement of certain expenses. The basis for these reimbursement demands are certain corporate indemnification agreements that were entered into by the former DTHC operating subsidiaries and Multiband. Two of those defendants had their claims denied during the second quarter of 2012, in a summary arbitration proceeding. This denial was appealed and the summary judgment award was overturned by a federal court judge in February 2013. Multiband appealed the federal court’s decision to the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals. In January 2014, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the decision and reinstated the arbitration award granting summary judgment to Multiband. In April 2014, the individuals filed a writ to appeal the matter to the United States Supreme Court.

Income Taxes	'
	Note 12. Income Taxes
	The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2014 was 36.2% and 0.5%, respectively. In determining the quarterly provision for income taxes, management uses an actual year to date effective tax rate. The effect of significant discrete items is separately recognized in the quarter in which such items occur. Significant factors that could affect the annual effective tax rate include management’s assessment of certain tax matters, the location and amount of taxable earnings, changes in certain non-deductible expenses and expected credits.
	In the first quarter of 2014, the Company received a “no change” notice from the Internal Revenue Service related to the tax period ended 2011 audit of Multiband and therefore released $2.1 million of related reserves for uncertain tax positions. The release of these reserves was recorded as a reduction of net operating losses. The statute of limitations will expire for $2.3 million of the Company’s reserves for uncertain tax positions within the next nine months.

Segments

Segments	'
	Note 13. Segments
	Prior to the merger with Multiband, the Company operated its business in two segments: Professional Services (PS) and Infrastructure Services (IS). Subsequent to the merger with Multiband, the Company began operating its business in two additional segments: Field Services (FS) and Other Services (Other). The Professional Services segment provides customers with highly technical services primarily related to installing, testing, and commissioning and decommissioning of core, or central office, equipment of wireless carrier networks from a variety of vendors. The Infrastructure Services segment provides program management services of field projects necessary for deploying, upgrading, and maintaining wireless networks. The Field Services segment generates revenue from the installation, upgrade and maintenance of DIRECTV satellite television systems. The Other Services segment was comprised of the Company’s multi-dwelling unit and energy, engineering and construction (“EE&C”) services lines of business.
	On December 31, 2013, the Company sold certain assets to DIRECTV MDU, and DIRECTV MDU assumed certain liabilities of the Company, related to the division of the Company’s business involved with the ownership and operation of subscription based video, high-speed internet and voice services and related call center functions to multiple dwelling unit customers, lodging and institution customers and commercial establishments (such assets are collectively referred to as the “MDU Assets”). The operations of the MDU Assets were previously reported in the Company’s Other Services segment. In addition, in the first quarter of 2014, the Company integrated the EE&C line of business with the Infrastructure Services and Professional Services segments, and as a result the Company no longer has an Other Services segment.
	There were no material intersegment transfers or sales during the periods presented. Selected segment financial information for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2014 are presented below (in thousands):

	Basis of Presentation
	The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in all material respects in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013.
	Because certain information and footnote disclosures have been condensed or omitted, these unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013, which are included in the Company’s annual report for the year ended December 31, 2013 (the “2013 Annual Report”). In management’s opinion, all normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented have been included. Management believes that the disclosures made in these unaudited consolidated financial statements are adequate to make the information not misleading. Interim period operating results do not necessarily indicate the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year.
	There have been no changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies from those that were disclosed in the Company’s 2013 Annual Report.
Use of Estimates	'
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Key estimates for the Company include: the recognition of revenue, in particular, estimated losses on long term construction contracts, allowance for doubtful accounts; inventory valuation; asset lives used in computing depreciation and amortization; valuation of intangible assets; valuation of contingent consideration; allowance for self-insurance health care claims incurred but not reported; accounting for stock options and other equity awards, particularly related to fair value estimates; accounting for income taxes; contingencies; and litigation. While management believes that such estimates are reasonable when considered in conjunction with the financial position and results of operations taken as a whole, actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition	'
	Revenue Recognition
	The Company recognizes revenue when: (i) persuasive evidence of a customer arrangement exists; (ii) the price is fixed or determinable; (iii) collectability is reasonably assured and (iv) product delivery has occurred or services have been rendered. The Company recognizes revenue as services are performed and completed.
	The Company enters into contracts that require the construction and/or installation of specific units within a network system. Revenue from construction and installation contracts is recorded using the completed contract method of accounting. Under the completed contract method, revenues and costs from construction and installation projects are recognized only upon substantial completion of the project. Project costs typically include direct materials, labor and subcontractor costs, and indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, and tools. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are recognized when it has been determined that a loss is probable.
	The Company also enters into contracts to provide engineering and integration services related to network architecture, transformation, reliability and performance. Revenues and costs from service contracts are generally recognized at the time the services are completed under the completed performance model. Services are generally performed under master or other services agreements and are billed on a contractually agreed price per unit of service on a work order basis. The total amount of progress payments netted against contract costs on uncompleted contracts as of December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014 was $197.9 million and $175.5 million, respectively.
