REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors
Probe Manufacturing, Inc.
Costa Mesa, CA
We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheet of Probe Manufacturing, Inc. as of September 30, 2006, and the related statements of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 and cash flows for the nine month period ended September 30, 2006. These financial statements are the responsibility of the companys management.
We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1, conditions exist, which raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to Financial Statements
Nine month period ended, September 30, 2006
Notes 1- GENERAL
The Company
Probe Manufacturing Industries, Inc. was incorporated on July 7, 1995. On April 21, 2005, the Company was redomiciled from California to Nevada and changed its name to Probe Manufacturing, Inc. Probe Manufacturing, Inc. (the Company or Probe) is a leading provider of advanced electronics manufacturing services, or EMS, to original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, primarily in the industrial and instrumentation, communication, semiconductor, automotive, medical, and military segments. This includes globally integrated end to end manufacturing solutions ranging from engineering printed circuit card assembly, cable assembly, enclosures, complete system integration and test, as well as global order fulfillment.
Going Concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Although, the Company had a net profit of $160,318 for the nine month period ended, September 30, 2006, they had a working capital deficit of ($9,044) and a total stockholders deficit of ($727,279) as of September 30, 2006. The ability of the Company to operate as a going concern is dependent upon its ability (1) to obtain sufficient debt and/or equity capital and/or (2) and improving operational efficiencies such that the Company can operate until such time that it resumes generating sufficient positive cash flow from operations.
Management is taking the following steps to address this situation: (a) continue improving operational efficiencies by: (i) re-negotiating direct material cost with all of our suppliers, (ii) by improving all systems and processes across operations and streamlining production lines, (iii) we have moved into a more feasible facility; (b) we have re-negotiated our lines of credit with agreement(s) that have more attractive terms, as well as increased our lines of credit with suppliers; (c) To increase revenue were acquiring new customers, and growing our business with existing customers. Were also charging our customers for all services rendered such as equipment programming, delivery and documentation, where in the past, we have often provided these services to our customers as part of the unit price; (d) Manage inventory levels, carrying costs and better utilize our supplier lines of credit, by implementing bonded inventory levels with our major suppliers, whereby they maintain stock at there facilities and deliver Just-in-Time, however from time to time inventory levels may increase temporarily, due to scheduling issues and acquisition of new customers and / or products.
The future success of the Company is likely dependent on its ability to attain additional capital to support growth and ultimately, upon its ability to attain future profitable operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining such financing, or that it will attain sufficient positive cash flow from operations. The successful outcome of these or any future activities cannot be determined at this time and there is no assurance that if achieved, the Company will have sufficient funds to execute their business plans or generate positive operating results. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates may be materially different from actual financial results. Significant estimates include the recoverability of long-lived assets, the collectibility of accounts receivable and valuation of inventory and reserves.
Accounts Receivable
The Company grants credit to its customers within the United States of America and does not require collateral. The Companys ability to collect receivables is affected by economic fluctuations in the geographic areas and industries served by the Company.
Reserves for un-collectable amounts are provided, based on past experience and a specific analysis of the accounts, which management believes are sufficient. Although the Company expects to collect amounts due, actual collections may differ from the estimated amounts. As of September 30, 2006, the Company has a reserve for potentially un-collectable accounts of $44,465.
Five (5) customers accounted for approximately 89% of accounts receivable at September 30, 2006. The Companys trade accounts primarily represent unsecured receivables. Historically, the Companys bad debt write-offs related to these trade accounts have been insignificant.
Inventory
Inventories are valued at the lower of weighted average cost or market value. Our industry experiences changes in technology, changes in market value and availability of the raw materials, as well as changing customer demand. The Company makes provisions for estimated excess and obsolete inventories based on regular audits and cycle counts of our on-hand inventory levels and forecasted customer demands and at times additional provisions are made. Any inventory write offs are charged to the reserve account. As of September 30, 2006, the Company had a reserve for potentially obsolete inventory of $400,898.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment, including renewals and betterments, are stated at cost. Assets held under capital leases are recorded at lease inception at the lower of the present value of the minimum lease payments or the fair market value of the related assets. The Company follows the practice of capitalizing property and equipment purchased over $5000. The cost of ordinary maintenance and repairs is charged to operations while renewals and replacements are capitalized. Depreciation and amortization are computed on the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from three to twenty years, and are as follows:
Furniture and fixtures
3 to 7 years
Equipment
7 to 10 years
Vehicles
5 years
Leasehold improvements
2 years (life of the lease)

NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: (Continued)
Long Lived Assets
The Companys management assesses the recoverability of its long-lived assets by determining whether the depreciation and amortization of long lived assets over their remaining lives can be recovered through projected undiscounted future cash flows. The amount of long lived asset impairment if any, is measured based on fair value and is charged to operations in the period in which long lived assets impairment is determined by management. There can be no assurance however, that market conditions will not change or demand for the Companys services will continue, which could result in impairment of long-lived assets in the future.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from product and services are recognized at the time goods are shipped or services are provided to the customer, with an appropriate provision for returns and allowances. Terms are generally FOB Origination with the right of inspection and acceptance. The company has not experienced a material amount of rejected or damaged product.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amount of accounts payable and accrued expenses are considered to be representative of their respective fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.
Other Comprehensive Income
The Company has no material components of other comprehensive income (loss) and accordingly, net loss is equal to comprehensive loss in all periods.
Net Profit / (Loss) per Common Share
Basic profit / (loss) per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. For the period ended September 30, 2005, all of the Company's common stock equivalents were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per common share because they were anti-dilutive, due to the Company's net loss in that year. At September 30, 2006 the company had outstanding common shares of 10,270,863. As of September 30, 2006 there were warrants outstanding to purchase 4,076,250 common shares which may dilute future earnings per share. Weighted average Common shares and equivalents at September 30, 2006 were 7,737,247 and 4,879,189 for the three month period ended and nine month period ended respectively.
Segment Information
The Corporation operates primarily in a single operating segment, providing printed circuit boards and electronic assemblies.
Stock Based Compensation
SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS No. 123) allows an entity to elect to continue to measure compensation cost under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB No. 25), but requires pro forma disclosures of net loss and loss per share as if the fair-valued-based method of accounting had been applied. In accordance with SFAS 123, the Company elected to continue to measure compensation cost under APB No. 25, and comply with the pro forma disclosure requirements.
The Company has adopted for footnote disclosure purposes SFAS No. 123, which requires that companys disclose the cost of stock-based employee compensation at the grant date based on the value of the award (the fair value method) and disclose this cost over the service period. The value of the stock-based award is determined using a pricing model whereby compensation cost is the excess of the fair value of the award as determined by the model at grant date or other measurement date over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock.
Transactions in which goods or services are received from non-employees for the issuance of equity securities or stock-based awards are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received.

NOTE 5 LINES OF CREDIT
The Company had a revolving line of credit (the Line) with a financial institution, which allowed them to borrow a maximum of $1,100,000 based on 80% of eligible accounts receivable, as defined. Borrowings under the Line, bore interest at prime (4.25% plus 10.5% per annum) were secured by substantially all of the Companys assets and was personally guaranteed by the stockholders. In March 2004 the Line was restructured into a term loan in the amount of $500,000. Terms of the Note were: (1) monthly installment payments of $5,000, (2) interest at the rate of 4% plus the prime rate by the agent (3) secured by accounts receivable (4) with a discount provision of $200,000 after timely payments of the first $300,000. In December 2004, the note was restructured into a new line of credit and discounted by $200,000. This new line of credit allows the Company to borrow a maximum of $100,000 based on 80% of eligible accounts receivables, payable in monthly installments of $5,000 plus interest at the rate of 4% plus the prime-lending rate.

Operating Rental Leases
The Company leased its office and warehouse facilities in Costa Mesa, California from stockholders under an operating lease that required minimum monthly payments of $19,790. The building was sold on March 10, 2006 and as result, the company is under a new rental agreement which is based on month to month for a maximum of six months at a monthly rate of $30,580, consisting of Base rent of $24,068 and additional operating expenses of $6,512. Our rental agreement expired on September 10, 2006.
On September 11, 2006 we entered into a sublease agreement for office and manufacturing space with Quantum Fuels System Technologies Worldwide, Inc. for two years with an option to renew for three years at a monthly rate $8, 027.00. The new facility is located at 25242 Artic Ocean Drive, Lake Forest, CA 92630.
Litigation
The Company may be involved from time to time in various claims, lawsuits, and disputes with third parties, action involving allegations or discrimination or breach of contract actions incidental in the normal operations of the business.
As of September 30, 2006 we have the following legal proceedings and legal settlements:
1. Cadence has a judgment against us for $98,000 which was entered by the Superior Court Santa Clara County, California in September 2, 2003. The judgment was due to lack of payment by Probe to Cadence after Probe purchased the license to use its Alegro software program. Due to economic conditions after September 11th the market for the use of this product disappeared and Probe was not able to resale the services. Consequently, Probe was not able to generate any revenues from reselling of the software and could not pay Cadence. On August 9th 2004 we have entered into a payment agreement with the Cadence in which we pay them $2,500 a month until such time the debt is paid off and the balance due to Cadence under the agreement was $16,053 as of September 30, 2006.
2. We currently owe the Internal Revenue Service $98,427 for past tax liabilities. We negotiated a settlement with the IRS and have entered into a payment plan with them in which we pay the IRS $3,000 per month. All payments to date are current. The balance is included in other long-term debt.
We believe that there are no other claims or litigation pending, the outcome of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or operating results. However, if litigation should arise and the company was to receive an unfavorable ruling, there is a possibility that it would have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity of the period in which the ruling occurs, or future periods.

Overview
We provide a range of manufacturing and integrated supply chain services to companies who design and market electronic products. Our revenue is generated from sales of our services primarily to customers in the industrial, automotive, semi-conductor and medical devise manufacturers. As a result of the services we perform for our customers, we are impacted by our customers ability to appropriately predict market demand for their products. While we work with our customers to understand their demand needs, we are removed from the actual end-market served by our customers. Consequently, determining future trends and estimates of activity can be very difficult.

Inventory turns are calculated as the ratio of cost of material compared to the average inventory for the quarter. Despite substantial increase in revenues, in the three month ended September 2006 our inventory turns were about 5.2 which is about 30% higher than the same period in 2005, and for the nine month period ended September 2006, our inventory turns were 5.4 slightly higher than the same period in 2005.
Days Sales in Backlog is calculated based on our back log divided by average daily sales during the quarter. For the three month ended September 30 2006, Days Sales in Backlog have decreased to 94 days from 122 days in the same period in 2005. For the nine month ended September 2006 the Days Sales in Backlog have decreased to 98 days from 124 days in the same period in 2005. The decrease is primarily due to slow down in orders from existing customers in the 4th quarter 2006 and 1st quarter of 2007.
Days Receivables Outstanding is calculated as the ratio of average accounts payable during the quarter compared to average daily sales for quarter, this has improved as a result in improved collection efforts.
Days Payable Outstanding is calculated as the ratio of average accounts payable during the quarter compared to daily cost of sales for the same quarter.
Plan of Operation
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Although the Company had a net profit of $160,263, for the nine month period ended, September 30, 2006, they had stock holders deficit of ($727,279) and a working capital deficit of of ($9,044). The ability of the Company to operate as a going concern is dependent upon its ability (1) to obtain sufficient debt and/or equity capital and/or (2) and improving operational efficiencies such that the Company can operate until such time that it resumes generating sufficient positive cash flow from operations.
Management is taking the following steps to address this situation: (a) continue improving operational efficiencies by: (i) re-negotiating direct material cost with all of our suppliers, (ii) by improving all systems and processes across operations and streamlining production lines, (iii) we have moved into a more feasible facility; (b) we have re-negotiated our lines of credit with agreement(s) that have more attractive terms, as well as increased our lines of credit with suppliers; (c) To increase revenue were acquiring new customers, and growing our business with existing customers. Were also charging our customers for all services rendered such as equipment programming, delivery and documentation, where in the past, we have often provided these services to our customers as part of the unit price; (d) Manage inventory levels, carrying costs and better utilize our supplier lines of credit, by implementing bonded inventory levels with our major suppliers, whereby they maintain stock at there facilities and deliver Just-in-Time, however from time to time inventory levels may increase temporarily, due to scheduling issues and acquisition of new customers and / or products.
The future success of the Company is likely dependent on its ability to attain additional capital to support growth and ultimately, upon its ability to continue to attain future profitable operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining such financing, or that it will continue to attain positive cash flow from operations. The successful outcome of these or any future activities cannot be determined at this time and there is no assurance that if achieved, the Company will have sufficient funds to execute their business plans or generate positive operating results. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Company follows United States generally accepted accounting principles. Certain of the principles involve selection among alternatives and choices of methods, which are described in the footnotes to the Companys reviewed consolidated financial statements.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company maintains the majority of its cash accounts at a commercial bank. The total cash balance is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $100,000 per commercial bank. For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all cash and highly liquid investments with initial maturities of one year or less to be cash equivalents.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates may be materially different from actual financial results. Significant estimates include the recoverability of long-lived assets, the collectibility of accounts receivable and valuation if inventory and reserves.
Accounts Receivable
The Company, grants credit to its customers within the United States of America and does not require collateral. The Companys ability to collect receivables is affected by economic fluctuations in the geographic areas and industries served by the Company.
The Companys trade accounts primarily represent unsecured receivables. Historically, the Companys bad debt write-offs related to these trade accounts have been insignificant.
Reserves for un-collectable amounts are provided, based on past experience and a specific analysis of the accounts, which management believes is sufficient. Although the Company expects to collect amounts due, actual collections may differ from the estimated amounts. As of September 30, 2006, the Company has a reserve for potentially un-collectable accounts of $44,465.
Five (5) customers accounted for approximately 89% of accounts receivable at September 30, 2006. The Companys trade accounts primarily represent unsecured receivables. Historically, the Companys bad debt write-offs related to these trade accounts have been insignificant.
Inventory
Inventories are stated at the lower of weighted average cost or market. Probe Manufacturings industry is characterized by rapid technological change, short-term customer commitments and rapid changes in demand, as well as any other lower of cost or market considerations. Probe Manufacturing makes provisions for estimated excess and obsolete inventory based on regular reviews of inventory quantities on hand and the latest forecasts of product demand and production requirements from customers. Provisions for excess and obsolete inventory are also impacted by Probe Manufacturings contractual arrangements with their customers including their ability or inability to re-sell such inventory to them. As of September 30, 2006, the Company had a reserve for potentially obsolete inventory, of $400,898.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment, including renewals and betterments, are stated at cost. Assets held under capital leases are recorded at lease inception at the lower of the present value of the minimum lease payments or the fair market value of the related assets. The Company follows the practice of capitalizing property and equipment purchased over $1,250. The cost of ordinary maintenance and repairs is charged to operations while renewals and replacements are capitalized. In 3rd quarter 2006, we capitalized $146,085 due to lease hold improvement as a result of our move to new facilities in Lake Forest, California.
Long Lived Assets
The Companys management assesses the recoverability of its long-lived assets by determining whether the depreciation and amortization of long lived assets over their remaining lives can be recovered through projected undiscounted future cash flows. The amount of long lived asset impairment if any, is measured based on fair value and is charged to operations in the period in which long lived assets impairment is determined by management. There can be no assurance however, that market conditions will not change or demand for the Companys services will continue, which could result in impairment of long-lived assets in the future.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from product and services are recognized at the time goods are shipped or services are provided to the customer, with an appropriate provision for returns and allowances. Terms are generally FOB Origination with the right of inspection and acceptance. The company has not experienced a material amount of rejected or damaged product.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amount of accounts payable and accrued expenses are considered to be representative of their respective fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.
Other Comprehensive Income
We had no material components of other comprehensive income (loss) and accordingly, net loss is equal to comprehensive loss in all periods.
Net Profit / (Loss) per Common Share
Basic profit / (loss) per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. For the period nine month period ended September 30, 2005, all of the Company's common stock equivalents were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per common share because they were anti-dilutive, due to the Company's net loss in that year. At September 30, 2006 the company had outstanding common shares of 10,270,863. As of September 30, 2006 there were warrants outstanding to purchase 4,076,250 common shares which may dilute future earnings per share. Diluted, weighted average Common shares and equivalents as of September 30, 2006 were 11,813,497 and 8,940,507 for the three month period ended and nine month period ended respectively.
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes under SFAS No. 109, which requires the asset and liability approach to accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities measured using enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when differences are expected to reverse. The net profit reported in the nine month period ended September 30, 2006 is offset by previous losses.
Results of Operations
For the three month period ended September 30, 2006 we generated a net profit of $40,325 compared to net losses of ($217,844) for the same period in 2005. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2006 we generated a net profit of $160,318 compared to net losses of ($539,528) for the same period in 2005.
In the three month ended September 30, 2006 our revenue increased by 70% to $2,551,236 compared to the same period in 2005. In the nine month period ended September 30, 2006 our revenue increased by 66% to 7,313,672 compared to the same period in 2005.
In the three month period ended September 30, 2006 our cost of goods sold, was reduced to 76% from 78% in the same period in 2005. In the nine month period ended September 30, 2006 our cost of goods sold, was reduced to 75% from 81% in the same period in 2005.
In three month period ended September 30, 2006 our gross margins increased to 24% from 21% in the same period in 2005. In nine month period ended September 30, 2006 our gross margins increased to 25% from 19% in the same period in 2005.
In the three month period ended September 30, 2006 our SG&A cost was reduced to 20% from 33% compared to the same period in 2005. In the nine month period ended September 30, 2006 our SG&A cost was reduced to 20% from 30% compared to the same period in 2005.
Our improvements in performance in the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 are primarily due to increase in revenue and continuation of process improvement efforts initiated in the 4th quarter 2005. We anticipate a slow down in sales in the 4th quarter 2006 and 1st quarter of 2007 due to customer reduction in re-orders and one of our major customers moving high volume business to low cost regions.
The following table summarizes certain items in the statements of operations as a percentage of net sales. The financial information and the discussion below should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial statements and notes thereto.

Net Sales
Our net sales increased by 70% to $2,551,236 in three month period ending September 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005 due to increase in the number of customers and increased orders from existing customers.
Major Customers
Our top 5 customers accounted for approximately 86% of net sales for the three month period ended September 30, 2006, compared to approximately 85% in the same period in 2005. We believe that our ability to grow depends on increasing sales to existing customers and on successfully attracting new customers. Customer contracts can be canceled and volume levels can be changed or delayed. The timely replacement of delayed, canceled or reduced orders with new business cannot be ensured. In addition, we cannot assume that any of our current customers will continue to utilize our services. Consequently, our results of operations may be materially adversely affected.
Gross Profit
Our Gross profit could vary from period to period and is affected by a number of factors, including product mix, production efficiencies, component availability and costs, pricing, competition, customer requirements and unanticipated restructuring or inventory charges. In three month period ended September 30, 2006 our gross profits increased to 24% from 21% in the same period in 2005. Our gross profit percentage increased to 25% in the nine month period ending September 30, 2006, an increase of 31% compared to the same period in 2005 primarily due to increased revenue and improved operational efficiencies.
Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses
We issued 500,000 shares of common stock, valued at $.10 ($50,000) to our Board of Directors for the past two years of service. However, SG&A expenses decreased from 33% to 20% for the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005. SG&A expenses decreased from 31% to 20% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005. This decrease in percentage is mainly due to higher revenue levels in the 2nd quarter of 2006.
Net Income/ (Loss) from operations
In the three months ended September 30, 2006, our net income from operations was 4% compare to net losses of (12%) for the same period ending 2005 and in the nine months ended September 30, 2006, our net income from operations was 6% compare to net losses of (11%) for the same period ending 2005. The increase in net profits was due, primarily to increased revenue and continued operational efficiencies.

ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management. Our disclosure controls and procedures include components of our internal control over financial reporting. Management's assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting is expressed at the level of reasonable assurance that the control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the control system's objectives will be met.
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
As of September 30, 2006 we have the following legal proceedings and legal settlements:
1. Cadence has a judgment against us for $98,000 which was entered by the Superior Court Santa Clara County, California in September 2, 2003. The judgment was due to lack of payment by Probe to Cadence after Probe purchased the license to use its Alegro software program. Due to economic conditions after September 11th the market for the use of this product disappeared and Probe was not able to resale the services. Consequently, Probe was not able to generate any revenues from reselling of the software and could not pay Cadence. On August 9th 2004 we have entered into a payment agreement with the Cadence in which we pay them $2,500 a month until such time the debt is paid off and the balance due to Cadence under the agreement was $16,053 as of September 30, 2006.
2. We currently owe the Internal Revenue Service $98,427 for past tax liabilities. We negotiated a settlement with the IRS and have entered into a payment plan with them in which we pay the IRS $3,000 per month. All payments to date are current. The balance is included in other long-term debt.
While we are currently able to service any and all payment obligation to the creditors, if we are unable in the future to service any payments, anyone of the creditors may instigate foreclosure proceedings against us. If we are unable to satisfy our obligations, we could be forced into bankruptcy.
We believe that there are no other claims or litigation pending, the outcome of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or operating results. However, if litigation should arise and the company was to receive an unfavorable ruling, there is a possibility that it would have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity of the period in which the ruling occurs, or future periods.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.
None.
ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES.
