REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors
Towerstream Corporation
Middletown, Rhode Island
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Towerstream Corporation (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2006, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’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. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits include consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Towerstream Corporation as of December 31, 2006, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

TOWERSTREAM CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - Organization and Nature of Business
TowerStream Corporation (herein after referred to as “Towerstream” or the “Company”) was formed on December 17, 1999 and was incorporated in Delaware. The Company operates as a Sub Chapter S corporation with its corporate headquarters located in Rhode Island.
The Company is a fixed wireless broadband provider. The Company serves several major U.S. markets including: Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York City, Chicago, Boston, Seattle, Providence and Newport, Rhode Island.
On January 12, 2007, Towerstream merged with a newly formed subsidiary of University Girls Calendar, Ltd. (“UGC”), a publicly traded shell company. As a result of the transaction, the former owners of Towerstream became the controlling stockholders of UGC and UGC changed its name to Towerstream Corporation. Accordingly, the merger of Towerstream and UGC (the “Merger”) is deemed to be a reverse merger that has been accounted for as a recapitalization of Towerstream (see Note 15).
NOTE 2 -Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Accounts Receivable
The Company carries its accounts receivable at cost less an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects management’s best estimate of probable losses inherent in the accounts receivable balance. Periodically, management evaluates its accounts receivable and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts, based on the history of past write-offs, collections, and current credit conditions. The allowance for uncollectible accounts at December 31, 2006 was $107,245 and bad debt expense for 2006 and 2005 was approximately $62,000 and $114,000, respectively and are included as part of selling, general, and administrative expenses.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. The costs associated with the construction of the network and subscriber installations are capitalized. Costs include equipment, installation costs and materials. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Years | |
Furniture, fixtures and equipment | 5-7 |
Computer equipment | 5 |
Systems software | 3 |
Network and base station equipment | 5-7 |
Customer premise equipment | 5-7 |

TOWERSTREAM CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 2 -Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs, which do not generally extend the useful life of the assets, are charged to operations as incurred. Gains or losses on disposal of property and equipment are reflected in the statement of operations in the period of disposal.
FCC License
Federal Communication Commission (“FCC”) license is initially recorded at cost and is not amortized. FCC license is considered to be an indefinite-lived intangible asset because the Company expects to continue to provide wireless service using the relevant license for the foreseeable future and the FCC license may be renewed for a nominal fee.
Deferred Revenues
Deferred revenues consist of either prepayment of services for future periods or payments received for current month services which overlap monthly reporting periods.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Advertising Costs
The Company charges advertising costs to expense as incurred. Advertising costs for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 were approximately $44,000 and $240,000, respectively and are included as part of selling, general, and administrative expenses.
Income Tax Status
The Company, with the consent of its stockholders, has elected to be taxed under sections of the federal and the state of Rhode Island income tax law, which provide that, in lieu of corporation income taxes, the stockholders separately account for their pro rata shares of the Company’s items of income, deductions, losses and credits. As a result of this election, no provision or liability for income taxes has been recognized in the accompanying financial statements.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 were approximately $59,000 and $130,000, respectively. These costs have been recorded in the statement of operations as part of selling, general and administrative expenses.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 2 -Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued
Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets consist primarily of property and equipment. Long-lived assets are reviewed annually for impairment or whenever events or circumstances indicate their carrying value may not be recoverable. When such events or circumstances arise, an estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows produced by the asset, or the appropriate grouping of assets, is compared to the asset’s carrying value to determine if impairment exists pursuant to the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”. If the asset is determined to be impaired, the impairment loss is measured based on the excess of its carrying value over its fair value. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of their carrying value or net realizable value.
Management has determined there was no impairment of its property and equipment during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues are recognized at the time access to the Company’s internet services is made available to its customers. Contractual arrangements range from one to three years. Deferred revenues are recognized as a liability when billings are received in advance of the date when revenues are earned. Company revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables under Emerging Issues Task Force Issue (“EITF”) No. 00-21 are deemed to be immaterial.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” requires that the Company disclose estimated fair values of financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported in the statement of financial position for current assets and current liabilities qualifying as financial instruments are reasonable estimates of fair value. The fair value of long-term debt is estimated to approximate fair market value based on the current rates offered to the Company for debt of the same remaining maturities. The fair value of the Company’s notes payable to stockholders are not reasonably determinable based on the related party nature of the transactions.
Stock-Based Compensation
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” (“SFAS 123R”), which is a revision of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS No. 123”). SFAS No. 123R supersedes APB No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and amends SFAS No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows.” SFAS No. 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based upon their fair values. As a result, the intrinsic value method of accounting for stock options with pro forma footnote disclosure, as allowed for under SFAS No. 123, is no longer permitted.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 2 -Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued
Stock-Based Compensation, continued
The Company adopted SFAS No. 123R using the modified prospective method, which requires the Company to record compensation expense for all awards granted after the date of adoption, and for the unvested portion of previously granted awards that remain outstanding at the date of adoption. Accordingly, prior period amounts have not been restated to reflect the adoption of SFAS No. 123R. After assessing alternative valuation models and amortization assumptions, the Company chose to continue using the Black-Scholes valuation model and recognition of compensation expense over the requisite service period of the grant.
As a result, the Company’s net loss for the year ended December 31, 2006 is $100,625 higher than if it had continued to account for share-based compensation under Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) opinion No. 25. The Company recorded total stock-based compensation of $100,625 during this period for options granted and vested which is included in selling, general and administrative expense. As of December 31, 2006 the fair value of the unvested stock options amounted to $120,000 which are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.1 years.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the weighted average fair value of options. The weighted average fair value of options granted during the year ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 was $0.57 and $0.46, respectively. The assumptions utilized to determine the fair value of options at the date of grant are indicated in the following table.
Year ended December 31, 2006 | Year ended December 31, 2005 | ||
Risk-free interest rate | 4.6% - 5.1% | 3.6% - 4.4% | |
Expected volatility | 41% - 60% | 56% | |
Expected life (in years) | 6– 10 | 6 - 10 | |

Stock-Based Compensation, continued
Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company’s stock-based employee compensation plans were accounted for under the recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”), and related Interpretations, as permitted by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” (“SFAS 123”).
For the year ended December 31, 2005, as was permitted under SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure,” which amended SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” the Company elected to continue to follow the intrinsic value method in accounting for its stock-based employee compensation arrangements as defined by APB No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations including FASB Interpretation No. 44, “Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation, an interpretation of APB No. 25.” Under the intrinsic value method, no stock-based compensation expenses had been recognized as the exercise price of the grants equaled the fair market value of the underlying stock at the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net loss per share as if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to stock-based employee compensation for the year ended December 31, 2005:
Net loss as reported | $ | (947,205 | ) | |

TOWERSTREAM CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 2 -Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
Net loss per share is computed in accordance with Statement of Financial Standards No. 128, “Earning Per Share” (“SFAS No. 128”). SFAS No. 128 requires the presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share.
Basic net loss per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur through the potential effect of common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options, warrants and convertible securities. The calculation assumes (i) the exercise of stock options and warrants based on the treasury stock method; and (ii) the conversion of convertible preferred stock only if an entity records earnings from continuing operations, as such adjustments would otherwise be anti-dilutive to earnings per share from continuing operations. As a result of the Company having recorded a loss during each of the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the average number of common shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted loss per share is identical and has not been adjusted for the effects of the following items: (i) 3,783,000 and 3,827,000 potential common shares from unexercised stock options and warrants for each of the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and (ii) 980,748 and 1,339,139 shares convertible under stockholders’ notes at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Such potential common shares may dilute earnings per share in the future.
Convertible Notes Payable
The Company accounts for conversion options embedded in convertible notes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS) No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 133”) and EITF 00-19 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock” (“EITF 00-19”). SFAS 133 generally requires Companies to bifurcate conversion options embedded in convertible notes and preferred shares from their host instruments and to account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments in accordance with EITF 00-19. SFAS 133 provides for an exception to this rule when convertible notes are deemed to be conventional as that term is described in the implementation guidance provided in paragraph 61 (k) of Appendix A to SFAS 133 and further clarified in EITF 05-2 “The Meaning of “Conventional Convertible Debt Instrument” in Issue No. 00-19. SFAS 133 provides for an additional exception to this rule when the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host instrument.

NOTE 2 -Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued
Convertible Notes Payable, continued
The Company accounts for convertible notes (deemed conventional) and non-conventional convertible debt instruments classified as equity under EITF 00-19 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Investments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock “ (“EITF 00-19”) and in accordance with the provisions of Emerging Issues Task Force Issue (“EITF”) 98-5 “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios” (“EITF 98-5”), EITF 00-27 “Application of EITF 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments.” Accordingly, the Company records, as a discount to convertible notes, the intrinsic value of such conversion options based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their earliest date of redemption.
NOTE 3 - Cash
The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, which at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash. The amount on deposit at December 31, 2006 exceeded the insurance limits by approximately $47,000.

NOTE 5 -Asset Acquisitions
On August 26, 2006 the Company entered into a License Purchase Agreement for certain spectrum in southern Florida. The purchase price was comprised of a cash payment of $50,000 and the balance of $200,000 payable in four equal annual installments of $50,000 without interest plus 100,000 shares of Towerstream common stock valued at $1.00 per share. The Agreement requires acceleration of all future payments due 90 days after the Company receives additional financing in excess of $3,000,000. This condition was met on January 12, 2007. The Agreement is also contingent upon and may be unwound by the parties if certain events or conditions are not met prior to November 21, 2007.
On November 30, 2006 the Company completed an Asset Purchase Agreement to purchase a fixed wireless network in Seattle, WA for $200,000. The purchase included fixed wireless equipment and related assets at five points of presence, as well as, the assumption of certain operating leases at those locations. No customer contracts were purchased or assumed in the transaction.

On February 10, 2005, the Board of Directors approved the increase in the number of stock options that can be granted under the 2000 Plan from 1.5 million to 3.0 million. The 2000 Plan is intended to provide incentives: (i) to officers and other employees of the Company by providing them with opportunities to purchase common stock in the Company pursuant to options granted, which qualify as incentive stock options; (ii) to directors, officers and employees of, and consultants and advisors of the Company, by providing them with opportunities to purchase common stock in the Company pursuant to options granted which do not qualify as incentive stock options (“nonqualified options”); and (iii) to directors, officers and employees of, and consultants and advisors to the Company, by providing them with awards of common stock in the Company (“stock awards”).
The purchase price per share of common stock deliverable upon the exercise of an option shall be determined by the Board of Directors; however, pursuant to the 2000 Plan it shall not be below fair market value on the date of issuance. Each option and all rights shall expire on such date as shall be set forth in the applicable Stock Rights Agreement, except that, in the case of an incentive stock option, such date shall not be later than ten (10) years after the date on which the option is granted and, in all cases, options shall be subject to earlier termination as provided in the 2000 Plan.
Options granted under the 2000 Plan shall be exercisable either in full or in installments, and shares issued pursuant to stock awards granted under the 2000 Plan shall vest either in full or in installments, at such time or times during such period as shall be set forth in the Stock Rights Agreement evidencing such stock rights, subject to the provisions of the 2000 Plan, provided that no option granted shall be exercisable during the first twelve (12) months after the date of grant. In addition, the 2000 Plan limits the right of the holder of outstanding options to exercise such vested options within a limited timetable as defined under the 2000 Plan upon a Participant’s death, becoming disabled or terminating employment.

NOTE 13 -Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The following pronouncements have been issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”):
On February 15, 2007, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 159, entitled “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. The guidance in SFAS No. 159 allows reporting entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective underlying the development of this literature is to improve financial reporting by providing reporting entities with the opportunity to reduce volatility in reported earnings that results from measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions, using the guidance in SFAS No. 133 [as amended], entitled“Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. The provisions of SFAS No. 159 are applicable to all reporting entities and is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins subsequent to November 15, 2007. The Company does not believe this new accounting standard will have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.
In December 2006, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) EITF 00-19-2 “Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements” (“FSP EITF 00-19-2”) which specifies that the contingent obligation to make future payments or otherwise transfer consideration under a registration payment arrangement should be separately recognized and measured in accordance with SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies.” Adoption of FSP EITF 00-19-02 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the expected effect of FSP EITF 00-19-02 on its consolidated financial statements and is currently not yet in a position to determine such effects.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurements. This statement provides a single definition of fair value, a framework for measuring fair value, and expanded disclosures concerning fair value. Previously, different definitions of fair value were contained in various accounting pronouncements creating inconsistencies in measurement and disclosures. SFAS No. 157 applies under those previously issued pronouncements that prescribe fair value as the relevant measure of value, except SFAS No. 123(R) and related interpretations and pronouncements that require or permit measurement similar to fair value but are not intended to measure fair value. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is evaluating the impact of this new standard, but currently believes that adoption will not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 13 -Recent Accounting Pronouncements, continued
In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)’s Office of the Chief Accountant and Divisions of Corporation Finance and Investment Management released Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 108,Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements (“SAB No. 108”), that provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement. The SEC staff believes that registrants should quantify errors using both a balance sheet and an income statement approach and evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying a misstatement that, when all relevant quantitative and qualitative factors are considered, is material. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. The Company has adopted SAB No. 108 and has found there to be no material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (the “Interpretation”). The Interpretation establishes for all entities a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of tax positions, and requires certain expanded disclosures. The Interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2006, and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the date of effectiveness. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the application of the Interpretation to its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155“Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments”, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140” (“SFAS 155”). SFAS 155 clarifies certain issues relating to embedded derivatives and beneficial interests in securitized financial assets. The provisions of SFAS 155 are effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006. The Company does not expect this pronouncement to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In September 2005, the FASB ratified the following consensus reached in Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue 05-8: a) The issuance of convertible debt with a beneficial conversion feature results in a basis difference in applying FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards SFAS No. 109. Recognition of such a feature effectively creates a debt instrument and a separate equity instrument for book purposes, whereas the convertible debt is treated entirely as a debt instrument for income tax purposes. b) The resulting basis difference should be deemed a temporary difference because it will result in a taxable amount when the recorded amount of the liability is recovered or settled. c) Recognition of deferred taxes for the temporary difference should be reported as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital. This consensus is effective in the first interim or annual reporting period commencing after December 15, 2005, with early application permitted. The effect of applying the consensus should be accounted for retroactively to all debt instruments containing a beneficial conversion feature that are subject to EITF Issue 00-27 (and thus is applicable to debt instruments converted or extinguished in prior periods but

which are still presented in the financial statements). The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In June 2005, the EITF reached consensus on Issue No. 05-6 (“EITF 05-6”). EITF 05-6 provides guidance on determining the amortization period for leasehold improvements acquired in a business combination or acquired subsequent to lease inception. The guidance in EITF 05-6 will be applied prospectively and is effective for periods beginning after June 29, 2005. The adoption of EITF 05-6 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In June 2005, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 05-2, “The Meaning of `Conventional Convertible Debt Instrument” in EITF No. 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock” (“EITF No. 05-2”), which addresses when a convertible debt instrument should be considered `conventional’ for the purpose of applying the guidance in EITF No. 00-19. EITF No. 05-2 also retained the exemption under EITF No. 00-19 for conventional convertible debt instruments and indicated that convertible preferred stock having a mandatory redemption date may qualify for the exemption provided under EITF No. 00-19 for conventional convertible debt if the instrument’s economic characteristics are more similar to debt than equity. EITF No. 05-2 is effective for new instruments entered into and instruments modified in periods beginning after June 29, 2005. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154,“Accounting Changes and Error Correction.” This Statement replaces APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and FASB Statement No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements, and changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. The statements apply to all voluntary changes in accounting principle. It also applies to changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. When a pronouncement includes specific transition provisions, those provisions should be followed. This statement is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 15 -Subsequent Events
a) On January 4, 2007, certain stockholders collectively transferred an aggregate of $1,616,753 in outstanding promissory notes and other payables due from Towerstream to a group of third party investors. In connection with these note transfers, Towerstream issued a new promissory note of approximately $1.7 million and cancelled the aforementioned obligations. As part of the arrangement, Towerstream agreed that it will take all actions to allow the investors to have the right to automatically convert the note into shares of common stock of UGC at a conversion price of $1.50 per share upon effectiveness of the merger as described below. In conjunction with the above transaction, the Towerstream Corporation, formerly UGC, a publicly traded shell company will record a charge of approximately $314,000 for the beneficial conversion feature granted to the holders of approximately $924,000 of the stockholders’ notes at $1.50 per share which did not originally have conversion rights and were converted to equity upon the Merger. In addition, a stockholder with a $250,000 convertible note exercised his right to convert the note into shares of common stock at $1.43 per share in conjunction with the Merger.
b) On January 12, 2007, Towerstream Acquisition, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of UGC merged with Towerstream Corporation, a private corporation. Upon closing of the merger, Towerstream Corporation became a wholly-owned subsidiary of UGC, and UGC succeeded to Towerstream Corporation’s line of business as its sole line of business. In connection with the merger, Towerstream Corporation changed its name to Towerstream I, Inc., and UGC changed its name to Towerstream Corporation.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 15 -Subsequent Events, continued
c) On January 12, 2007, Towerstream merged with a newly formed subsidiary of UGC. In connection with the merger, UGC issued 15,000,000 shares of its common stock for 21,404,977 outstanding shares of common stock of Towerstream. As a result of the transaction, the former owners of Towerstream became the controlling stockholders of UGC and UGC changed its name to Towerstream Corporation. Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, 1,900,000 shares of the previously issued and outstanding shares of UGC remain outstanding and all other shares outstanding prior to the merger were cancelled.
Accordingly, the merger of Towerstream and UGC (the “Merger”) is deemed to be a reverse merger that has been accounted for as a recapitalization of Towerstream.
d) Concurrent with the Merger, UGC sold 5,110,056 shares of common stock for gross proceeds of $11,497,625 (at $2.25 per share). In addition, these investors received warrants to purchase 2,555,028 shares of common stock for a period of five years at an exercise price of $4.50 per share, collectively (the “Private Placement”). In connection with the Private Placement, UGC incurred placement agent fees totaling approximately $446,400, and issued 140,917 warrants with an estimated fair value of approximately $77,000 to the placement agent at an exercise price of $4.50 per share for a period of five years. In addition, UGC incurred other professional fees and expenses totaling approximately $522,300 in connection with the Merger. In connection with the sale of units of common stock and warrants, UGC agreed to file a registration statement underlying the resale of the common stock issued and underlying warrants no later than March 19, 2007, and to cause such statement to be effective on or before May 28, 2007. If such statement is either not filed or declared effective by the above dates, it must pay liquidated damages of 1% of the unit purchase price per month of delinquency with a maximum amount of damages of 6% of the unit purchase price.
e) In conjunction with the Merger, UGC sold $3,500,000 of senior convertible debentures (the “Debentures”). The Debentures require quarterly interest only payments of 8% per annum, mature on December 31, 2009 and contain certain restrictive debt covenants as defined in the agreement. The Debentures are convertible into shares of common stock of UGC at $2.75 per share. In addition, holders of the Debentures received warrants to purchase 636,364 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $4.00 per share and warrants to purchase 636,364 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 per share, for a period of five years. The issuance of the warrants resulted in the recording of a debt discount of approximately $527,000. In connection with the sale of the debentures, UGC agreed to file a registration statement underlying the resale of the common stock issued upon conversion of the debentures and underlying warrants no later than March 29, 2007, and to cause such statement to be effective on or before May 28, 2007. If such statement is either not filed or declared effective by the above dates, it must pay liquidated

damages of 1% of the debenture purchase price per month of delinquency with a maximum mount of damages of 6% of the debenture purchase price.
In connection with the Debentures, UGC incurred placement agent fees totaling approximately $140,000, and issued 63,634 warrants with an estimated fair value of $34,750 to the placement agent at an exercise price of $4.50 per share for a period of five years.
f) In conjunction with the merger, on January 12, 2007 Towerstream Corporation, formerly UGC, reserved a total of 3,200,000 shares for the issuance of options and warrants. The total options and warrants exchanged in the merger totaled 2,651,027. Also, in conjunction with the merger Towerstream adopted the 2007 Equity Compensation Plan (the “2007 Plan”). The Plan provides a means for awarding specific equity-based benefits to officers and other employees, consultants and directors to encourage them to exercise their best efforts to enhance its growth. Under the Merger agreement all options and certain warrants and their respective rights and obligations, that were outstanding prior to the merger were transferred into the 2007 Plan and totaled 1,854,950. The total number of shares of Common Stock that can be delivered under the 2007 Plan is 2,403,923.
g) On January 12, 2007 the Board of Directors issued 50,000 non-qualified stock options to directors and 100,000 non-qualified stock options to a consultant.
