Item 2.02.Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On May 10, 2011, Towerstream Corporation (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing results for the three months ended March 31, 2011. A copy of the press release is attached to this report as Exhibit 99.1 and is being furnished pursuant to Item 2.02 of Form 8-K and shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any of the Registrant’s registration statements or other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

The press release includes EBITDA calculations, which is not a generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) financial measure. It is presented in the press release because the Registrant’s management uses this information in evaluating the operating efficiency and overall financial performance of its business. The Registrant’s management also believes that this information provides the users of the Registrant’s financial statements with valuable insight into its operating results.  EBITDA is calculated as net income (loss) before interest, income taxes, deprecation and amortization. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest, income taxes, deprecation and amortization expenses, excluding when applicable, stock-based compensation, other non-operating income or expenses, as well as gain or loss on (i) disposal of property and equipment, (ii) nonmonetary transactions, and (iii) business acquisitions. It is important to note, however, that non-GAAP financial measures as presented do not represent cash provided by or used in operating activities and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Neither should be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA, excluding non-recurring expenses and Wi-Fi offload program expenses, as compared to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, net loss, is presented in a reconciliation table in the attached press release.

The information contained in this Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements, including certain statements regarding intent, beliefs, expectations, projections, forecasts and plans, which are subject to numerous assumptions, risks, and uncertainties. A number of factors described from time to time in our periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission could cause actual conditions, events, or results to differ significantly from those described in the forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements included in this Form 8-K are based on information available at the time of the report. We assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statement.

Item 8.01.Other Events.

On May 10, 2011, the Company and One Velocity, Inc. (“One Velocity”) entered a definitive agreement to acquire certain business assets from One Velocity.  Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will acquire One Velocity business assets operating in Las Vegas and Reno, Nevada including all customer contracts, network infrastructure, and related assets.  The acquisition closing is subject to customary conditions and is expected to close by the end of the second quarter 2011.
