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 June 30, 2008, and the related statements of operations and cash flows for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s 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 Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

PROBE MANUFACTURING, INC.

Notes to Financial Statements


Notes 1- GENERAL


The Company

Probe Manufacturing Industries, Inc. was incorporated on July 7, 1995. On April 21, 2005, the Company was re-domiciled 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 medical device, aerospace, industrial, instrumentation and alternative fuel, segments. This includes end-to-end manufacturing solutions ranging from engineering to manufacturing of printed circuit board assembly, cable assembly, enclosures, complete system integration and testing, as well as global order fulfillment. To provide for long term sustainability and growth, the Company is now leveraging its manufacturing and commercializing competencies, combined with product knowledge to develop its own proprietary products in alternative fuel technologies.  The two major sectors in alternative energy are electricity generation and transportation.   Our research and development efforts have been focused on these two sectors.  Our transportation focus is on power electronics, and controllers which enable vehicles to operate on clean alternative fuels. Our power generation focus is on Hydrogen and distributed power generators and solar power.   Probe Manufacturing's headquarters are located in Lake Forest, California.  


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. The Company had a net profit of $121,260 and a working capital surplus of $62,135 and improved their total stockholders deficit by $164,165 for the six months ended, June 30, 2008.  However, the Company still had shareholder deficit of $(108,875) as of June 30, 2008. Therefore the ability of the Company to operate as a going concern is still dependent upon its ability (1) to obtain sufficient debt and/or equity capital and/or (2) to continue generating positive cash flow from operations.


Management is taking the following steps to address this situation. The Company continues to improve operational efficiencies by: re-negotiating direct material cost with all of our suppliers and setting up Managed inventory Solutions, such as bonded inventory levels and auto-release programs with our major suppliers, whereby they maintain stock at their facilities and deliver “Just-in-Time”.  This will improve the utilization of our lines of credit with suppliers and maintains inventory at its lowest value point. However from time to time inventory levels may increase temporarily, due to scheduling issues and acquisition of new customers and/or products. The company continues to negotiate its lines of credit with agreements that have more attractive terms, as well as increasing our credit lines with suppliers.  The company continues to increase revenue with customers that are a better fit and   growing the business with our existing customers by offering more value added services. The Company is focusing   on a more stable customer base in areas such as medical device, aerospace, and alternative fuel industries that have a better chance of maintaining their manufacturing in Southern California instead of moving it to low cost and offshore regions. To ensure long term sustainability of the Company, we’re allocating more resources to develop proprietary technology within the alternative energy industry while continuing to operate our EMS business.

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 profitable operations.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining such financing, or that it will continue to generate 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 its business plans. 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.

NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

The interim financial information included herein is unaudited; however, such information reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the interim periods.  All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature.  The results of operations for the first six months of the year are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations which might be expected for the entire year.  


The accompanying financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, omit or condense certain footnotes and other information normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  It is suggested that these condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's audited financial statements on Form 10-K/A as amended for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.


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 Company’s reviewed 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 collection of accounts receivable and valuation of inventory and reserves.


Accounts Receivable

The Company grants credit to its customers located within the United States of America; and does not require collateral. The Company’s 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.  Although the Company expects to collect amounts due, actual collections may differ from the estimated amounts. As of June 30, 2008, the Company had a reserve for potentially un-collectable accounts of $35,212.


Five (5) customers accounted for approximately 84% of accounts receivable at June 30, 2008.  The Company’s trade accounts primarily represent unsecured receivables.  Historically, the Company’s 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. For the three months ended, March 31, 2008 the company wrote off $60,034 of excess inventory against the reserve.  As of June 30, 2008, the Company had a reserve for potentially obsolete inventory of $240,457.  




Page 8 of 45


Table of contents


Property and Equipment

Property and equipment 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 $5,000.  The cost of ordinary maintenance and repairs is charged to operations. Depreciation and amortization are computed on the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives of the related assets:


Furniture and fixtures

3 to 7 years

Equipment

7 to 10 years

Leasehold improvements

2 years (life of the lease)


Long –Lived Assets

The Company’s 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 Company’s 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.  At June 30, 2008 the Company had outstanding common shares of 10,594,285, and 35,155 shares to be issued for officer compensation, for a total of 10,629,440 used in the calculation of basic earnings per share.  Basic Weighted average common shares and equivalents at June 30, 2008 were 10,531,361. As of June 30, 2008 the Company had outstanding warrants to purchase 4,749,110 additional common shares and options to purchase 511,345 additional common shares, which may dilute future earnings per share. Fully diluted weighted average common shares and equivalents at June 30, 2008 were 15,762,719.


Research and Development:

To ensure long term sustainability and growth of the Company we have started research and development towards growth markets of the future by investing in alternative energy technologies.  While we continue to operate our Electronics Manufacturing business, we are now directing more resources towards developing technologies in the alternative energy industry.  Our alternative energy research and development is focused on the alternative fuel industry as defined by the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (EPAct) including ethanol, natural gas, propane, hydrogen, bio-diesel, electricity and methanol. These fuels are being used worldwide in a variety of vehicle and power generator applications. We believe three independent market factors; economics, energy security/independence and environmental concerns are driving the growth of alternative energy technologies today and into the foreseeable future. 


Research and Development Costs incurred in association with the alternative fuels technology development (which include salaries and equipment) are expensed as incurred.  We expensed $36,250 in R&D during the three months ended June 30, 2008 and $119,574 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. We acquired a 125 kW natural gas

Table of contents


distributed power generator and have converted it to run on hydrogen fuel. We will be performing validation testing for performance; and later for emission.  Emission testing will require additional funding.  This distributed power generator will have near zero carbon based emission and very low NOx emissions.  When completed, this hydrogen-fueled internal combustion engine will address two major needs:  power and near-zero emissions.  These engines serve as replacement engines for the industrial user who has been dependent upon a manufacturer of traditional gasoline or diesel-fueled industrial engines.  Our second research and development project involves an Engine Control Unit (ECU) to help convert gasoline cars to run on natural gas.  The Solaris project is in prototype stages, and will be 100% Probe’s proprietary technology.  Once completed this functionally advanced Electronics Controller Units (ECU) can operate under the hood, and will be appropriately priced for different vehicle type and markets. 


Segment Information      

Except as identified above in the research and development section, we operate primarily in a single operating segment providing printed circuit board and electronic assemblies.

The company has adopted the use of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS No. 123R), which supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and its related implementation guidance and eliminates the alternative to use Opinion 25’s intrinsic value method of accounting that was provided in Statement 123 as originally issued. This Statement requires an entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of an equity instruments, which includes grants of stock options and stock warrants, based on the fair value of the award, measured at the grant date, (with limited exceptions). Under this standard, the fair value of each award is estimated on the grant date, using an option-pricing model that meets certain requirements. We use the Black- Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of our equity awards, including stock options and warrants. The Black-Scholes model meets the requirements of SFAS No. 123R; however the fair values generated may not reflect their actual fair values, as it does not consider certain factors, such as vesting requirements, employee attrition and transferability limitations. The Black-Scholes model valuation is affected by our stock price and a number of assumptions, including expected volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. We estimate the expected volatility and estimated life of our stock options at grant date based on historical volatility; however, due to the thinly traded nature of our stock, we have chosen to use an average of the annual volatility of like companies in our industry. For the “risk-free interest rate”, we use the Constant Maturity Treasury rate on 90 day government securities. The term is equal to the time until the option expires. The dividend yield is not applicable, as the company has not paid any dividends, nor do we anticipate paying them in the foreseeable future. The fair value of our restricted stock is based on the market value of our free trading common stock, on the grant date calculated using a 20 trading day average. At the time of grant, the share based-compensation expense is recognized in our financial statements based on awards that are ultimately expected to vest using historical employee attrition rates and the expense is reduced accordingly.  It is also adjusted to account for the restricted and thinly traded nature of the shares.  The expense is reviewed and adjusted in subsequent periods if actual attrition differs from those estimates. We re-evaluate the assumptions used to value our share-based awards on a quarterly basis and if changes warrant different assumptions, the share-based compensation expense could vary significantly from the amount expensed in the past. We may be required to adjust any remaining share-based compensation expense, based on any additions, cancellations or adjustments to the share based awards. The expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award—the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service.   For the year ended December 31, 2007 we recognized $97,537 of share based compensation which included $21,920 of expense, due to the issuance of our options and warrants. For the six months ended June 30, 2008 we recognized $42,893 of share based compensation which included $9,926 of expense, due to the issuance of our options and warrants, we also had $17,789 in non-vested expense to be recognized over the next three years.


Income Taxes

The Company accounts 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 for the six month

period ended, June 30, 2008 of $121,260 is offset by previous losses.  As of June 30, 2008 the Company had a net operating loss carry forward of $362,432. The Company has not booked any deferred tax asset as a result.

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 June 30, 2008 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.

The holders of our common stock are entitled to vote upon all matters submitted to a vote of our

shareholders and are entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held. There are no cumulative voting rights.


The holders of our common stock are entitled to share equally in dividends and other distributions that our Board of Directors may declare from time to time out of funds legally available for that purpose, if any, after the satisfaction of any prior rights and preferences of any outstanding preferred stock. If we liquidate, dissolve or wind up, the holders of shares of common stock will be entitled to share ratably in the distribution of all of our assets remaining available for distribution after satisfaction of all our liabilities and our obligations to holders of our outstanding preferred stock.


PREFERRED STOCK

Our Articles of Incorporation authorize us to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock.  We authorized 440 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and 20,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.  On May 25, 2006 the Articles of Incorporation were amended authorizing 15,000 shares Series C Convertible Preferred Stock.

As of August 20, 2006 all Preferred Stock has been converted into Common stock and there are no outstanding Preferred shares as of June 30, 2008.


Preferred Series A

Previously, there were 440 shares of Convertible A Preferred Stock outstanding, with a stated value of $1,000.  Each share is convertible into 0.1% percent of the shares of our common stock outstanding at the date of conversion, which shall convert upon election of the holder.  The holders of series A Preferred stock have the right to vote with the holders of common stock on any matter to which the common stock holders are entitled to vote and they are entitled to vote number of shares of common stock into which the series A Preferred Stock is convertible. If we are liquidated, distribute our assets, dissolve or wind-up, the holders of Convertible A Preferred Stock shall receive the greater of (i) $2,500 per share of Convertible A Preferred Stock they hold at the time of such liquidation, or (ii) their pro rata share of the total value of our assets and funds to be distributed, assuming the Convertible A preferred stock is converted to common stock.  On August 14, 2006 the holders converted 440 shares of the Preferred Series A for 4,544,188 shares of the Company’s common stock.


Preferred Series B

Previously there were 12,500 shares of Series B Convertible stock outstanding, with a stated value of $100. Each share of Series B Stock shall be converted into a number of shares of common stock that is equal to each share being divided by the average of the 3 lowest intraday bids in the twenty (20) days prior to conversion multiplied by 100 (1 divided by x, multiplied by 100), or 125 shares per Series B, whichever is greater.  The minimum conversion price which Series B shareholders shall convert their Series B shares to common stock shall be $0.10.  


Exchange of Preferred Series B to Preferred Series C

On May 25, 2006 the Board of Directors approved the exchange of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock for Series C No-Par, Convertible Preferred Stock for its Series B stockholders.  After the exchange took place Series B Convertible Preferred Stock was cancelled.  The Series C Convertible Preferred Stock carries the same rights as Series B Convertible Preferred Stock except that Series C Convertible Preferred Stock can be redeemed by the Company.  At any time, the Company may, in its sole discretion, redeem some or all of the outstanding shares of Series C Stock at a “Redemption Price” equal to the greater of $120.00 per share for the first year from the date of this certificate and after which the redemption price shall increase by twelve percent (12%) per year until all outstanding shares of Series C have been redeemed.  To redeem Series C Stock, the Company, at least five (5) days prior to the date on which it desires to redeem such stock (the “Redemption Date”), shall send the applicable holder of Series C Stock a notice of the redemption provided, however, that failure to give such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any shares of Series C Stock.  Such notice shall state:  (i) the redemption date; (ii) the redemption price; and (iii) the number of shares of Series C Stock to be redeemed.  Furthermore, the holders of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock shall receive one A Warrant and one B Warrant for every Ten (10) shares of common stock received from converting a share of Series C Convertible Preferred stock of the Company.  This series A and B Warrants are pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Company’s Series A and B warrant agreement as amended.

Table of contents


Previously there were 14,040 shares of Convertible C Preferred Stock outstanding.   Originally as filed on May 25, 2006 each share of Series C Stock shall be converted into a number of shares of Common Stock that is equal to each share being divided by the average of the 3 lowest intraday bids in the twenty (20) days prior to conversion or $0.10, which ever is greater, multiplied by 100 (1 divided by x, multiplied by 100), or 125 shares per Series C, whichever is greater. However, on August 07, 2006 the terms of Series C were amended as follows: Each share of Series C stock shall be converted into a number of shares of Common Stock that is equal to each share divided $0.80 multiplied by 100 (1 divided by $0.80, multiplied by 100).


On August 14, 2006 the holders of Preferred Series C elected to convert their shares into common stock.  As a result 14,040 shares of Preferred Series C were converted into 1,755,000 shares of common stock.


Our Board of Directors has the authority to issue additional shares of preferred stock in one or more series, and fix for each series, the designation of and number of shares to be included in each such series. Our Board of Directors is also authorized to set the powers, privileges, preferences, and relative participating, optional or other rights, if any, of the shares of each such series and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of the shares of each such series.


Unless our Board of Directors provides otherwise, the shares of all series of preferred stock will rank on parity with respect to the payment of dividends and to the distribution of assets upon liquidation. Any issuance by us of shares of our preferred stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of our control or an unsolicited acquisition proposal. The issuance of preferred stock also could decrease the amount of earnings and assets available for distribution to the holders of common stock or could adversely affect the rights and powers, including voting rights, of the holders of common stock.

Overview

Probe Manufacturing, Inc. was founded in 1995, and is one of Southern California's highest quality Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) companies. We provide a range of engineering, quality manufacturing and integrated supply chain services  to companies who design and market electronic products, Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM). Currently, our revenue is generated from sales of our services primarily to customers in the medical device, aerospace, alternative fuel and industrial products manufacturers. The Company provides OEMs with lowest cost of ownership, flexibility, and quality that improves their competitive advantage. Probe's EMS offerings include new product introduction, collaborative design, materials management, product manufacturing, Product testing and product warranty repair, and end-of-life support. Because our core business is a service company, we’re impacted by our customer’s 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 to determine future trends and estimates of activity can be very difficult.


To provide for long term sustainability and growth, the Company is now leveraging its manufacturing and commercializing competencies, combined with product knowledge to develop its own proprietary products in alternative fuel technologies.  The two major sectors in alternative energy are electricity generation and transportation.   Our research and development efforts have been focused on these two sectors.  Our transportation focus is on power electronics, and controllers which enable vehicles to operate on clean alternative fuels. Our power generation focus is on Hydrogen and distributed power generators and solar power.

Plan of Operations:

In the quarter ended June 30, 2008 we had a net profit of $13,198 and a working capital surplus of $62,145.  Although we improved our total stockholders deficit by $35,129; however, as of June 30, 2008 we still had shareholder deficit of $(108,875).  The ability of the Company to operate as a going concern is still dependent upon its ability (1) to obtain sufficient debt and/or equity capital and/or (2) to continue generating positive cash flow from operations.


Management is taking the following steps to address this situation: (a) to continue improving operational efficiencies by: (i) re-negotiating direct material cost with all of our suppliers, (ii) by setting up Managed Inventory Solutions, such as bonded inventory levels and auto-release programs with our major suppliers, whereby they maintain stock at their facilities and deliver “Just-in-Time”.  This will improve the utilization of our line of credits with suppliers and maintains inventory at its lowest value point; however from time to time inventory levels may increase temporarily, due to scheduling issues and acquisition of new customers and/or products;  (iii) by continual improvement of all systems and processes across operations and streamlining production lines; (b) acquisition of new bank lines of



Page 24 of 45


Table of contents


credit with lower interest rates that have more attractive terms, as well as increasing our credit lines with suppliers; (c) To increase revenue; (i) we are acquiring new customers that are a better fit for us, (ii) and we are  growing the business with our existing customers with offering more value added; and finally (iii) we’re focusing on more stable customer base such as medical device, aerospace, and alternative fuel industries that have a better chance of  maintaining their manufacturing in Southern California instead of moving it to low cost and offshore regions;  (e)  to ensure long term sustainability of the Company, we’re allocating more resources to develop propriatary technology within the alternative energy industry while continuing to operate our EMS business.

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 profitable operations.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining such financing, or that it will continue to generate 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 its business plans. 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.

Inventory turns: are calculated as the ratio of cost of material compared to the average inventory for the quarter. For the 3 month ended June 30, 2008 our inventory turns were 2.79 compared to 3.67 for the same period in 2007.  The lower inventory turns were due to returns from one of our customers.


Days Sales in Backlog is calculated based on our back log divided by average daily sales during the quarter.  For the three months ended June 30, 2008 Days Sales in Backlog was 118 days compared to 109 days for the same period in 2007.  


Days Receivables Outstanding is calculated as the ratio of average accounts payable during the fiscal year compared to average daily sales for the same period, this has improved as a result of improved collection efforts.


Days Payable Outstanding, is calculated as the ratio of average accounts payable during the fiscal year compared to daily cost of sales for the same period.


Critical Accounting Policies and basis of presentation

The interim financial information included herein is unaudited; however, such information reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the interim periods.  All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature.  The results of operations for the first six months of the year are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations which might be expected for the entire year.  


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 Company’s reviewed 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 collection of accounts receivable and valuation of inventory and reserves.


Accounts Receivable

The Company grants credit to its customers located within the United States of America; and does not require collateral. The Company’s 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.  Although the Company expects to collect amounts due, actual collections may differ from the estimated amounts. As of June 30, 2008, the Company had a reserve for potentially un-collectable accounts of $35,212.


Five (5) customers accounted for approximately 84% of accounts receivable at June 30, 2008.  The Company’s trade accounts primarily represent unsecured receivables.  Historically, the Company’s 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



Page 26 of 45


Table of contents


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. For the three months ended, March 31, 2008 the company wrote off $60,034 of excess inventory against the reserve.  As of June 30, 2008, the Company had a reserve for potentially obsolete inventory of $240,457.  


Property and Equipment

Property and equipment 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 $5,000.  The cost of ordinary maintenance and repairs is charged to operations. Depreciation and amortization are computed on the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives of the related assets:


Furniture and fixtures

3 to 7 years

Equipment

7 to 10 years

Leasehold improvements

2 years (life of the lease)


Long –Lived Assets

The Company’s 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 Company’s 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.  At June 30, 2008 the Company had outstanding common shares of 10,594,285, and 35,155 shares to be issued for officer compensation, for a total of 10,629,440 used in the calculation of basic earnings per share.  Basic Weighted average common shares and equivalents at June 30, 2008 were 10,531,361. As of June 30, 2008 the Company had outstanding warrants to purchase 4,749,110 additional common shares and options to purchase 511,345 additional common shares, which may dilute future earnings per share. Fully diluted weighted average common shares and equivalents at June 30, 2008 were 15,762,719.


Research and Development:

To ensure long term sustainability and growth of the company we have started research and development towards growth markets of the future by investing in alternative energy technologies.  While we continue to operate our Electronics Manufacturing business, we are now directing more resources towards developing technologies in the alternative energy industry.  Our alternative energy research and development is focused on the alternative fuel industry as defined by the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (EPAct) including ethanol, natural gas, propane, hydrogen, bio-diesel, electricity and methanol. These fuels are being used worldwide in a variety of vehicle and power generator applications. We believe three independent market factors; economics, energy security/independence and



Page 27 of 45


Table of contents


environmental concerns are driving the growth of alternative energy technologies today and will in the foreseeable future. 


Research and Development Costs incurred in association with the alternative fuels technology development (which include salaries and equipment) are expensed as incurred.  We expensed $36,250 in R&D during the three months ended June 30, 2008 and $119,574 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. We acquired a 125 kW natural gas distributed power generator and have converted it to run on hydrogen fuel. We will be performing validation testing for performance; and later for emission.  Emission testing will require additional funding.  This distributed power generator will have near zero carbon based emission and very low NOx emissions.  When completed, this hydrogen-fueled internal combustion engine will address two major needs:  power and near-zero emissions.  These engines serve as replacement engines for the industrial user who has been dependent upon a manufacturer of traditional gasoline or diesel-fueled industrial engines.  Our second research and development project involves an Engine Control Unit (ECU) to help convert gasoline cars to run on natural gas.  The Solaris project is in prototype stages, and will be 100% Probe’s proprietary technology.  Once completed this functionally advanced Electronics Controller Units (ECU) can operate under the hood, and will be appropriately priced for different vehicle type and markets. 


Segment Information      

Except as identified above in the research and development section, we operate primarily in a single operating segment providing printed circuit boards and electronic assemblies.


Share Based Compensation   

The company has adopted the use of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS No. 123R), which supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and its related implementation guidance and eliminates the alternative to use Opinion 25’s intrinsic value method of accounting that was provided in Statement 123 as originally issued. This Statement requires an entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of an equity instruments, which includes grants of stock options and stock warrants, based on the fair value of the award, measured at the grant date, (with limited exceptions). Under this standard, the fair value of each award is estimated on the grant date, using an option-pricing model that meets certain requirements. We use the Black- Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of our equity awards, including stock options and warrants. The Black-Scholes model meets the requirements of SFAS No. 123R; however the fair values generated may not reflect their actual fair values, as it does not consider certain factors, such as vesting requirements, employee attrition and transferability limitations. The Black-Scholes model valuation is affected by our stock price and a number of assumptions, including expected volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. We estimate the expected volatility and estimated life of our stock options at grant date based on historical volatility; however, due to the thinly traded nature of our stock, we have chosen to use an average of the annual volatility of like companies in our industry. For the “risk-free interest rate”, we use the Constant Maturity Treasury rate on 90 day government securities. The term is equal to the time until the option expires. The dividend yield is not applicable, as the company has not paid any dividends, nor do we anticipate paying them in the foreseeable future. The fair value of our restricted stock is based on the market value of our free trading common stock, on the grant date calculated using a 20 trading day average. At the time of grant, the share based-compensation expense is recognized in our financial statements based on awards that are ultimately expected to vest using historical employee attrition rates and the expense is reduced accordingly.  It is also adjusted to account for the restricted and thinly traded nature of the shares.  The expense is reviewed and adjusted in subsequent periods if actual attrition differs from those estimates. We re-evaluate the assumptions used to value our share-based awards on a quarterly basis and if changes warrant different assumptions, the share-based compensation expense could vary significantly from the amount expensed in the past. We may be required to adjust any remaining share-based compensation expense, based on any additions, cancellations or adjustments to the share based awards. The expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award—the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service.   For the year ended December 31, 2007 we recognized $97,537 of share based compensation which included $21,920 of expense, due to the issuance of our options and warrants. For the six months ended June 30, 2008 we recognized $42,893 of share based compensation which included $9,926 of expense, due to the issuance of our options and warrants, we also had $17,789 in non-vested expense to be recognized over the next three years.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts 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 for the six month period ended, June 30, 2008 of $121,260 is offset by previous losses.  As of June 30, 2008 the Company had a net operating loss carry forward of $362,432. The Company has not booked any deferred tax asset as a result.

Net Sales 

For the three months ended June 30, 2008 our revenue was $1,810,946 compared to $1,807,543 for the same period in 2007.  For the six month period ended June 30, 2008 our revenue was $3,996,390 compared to $3,684,632 for the same period in 2007.  Our revenue was flat for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007, but over the six month period ended June 30, 2008 we experienced a 8% increase in revenue. The increase in revenue was the result of our new customer base getting more engaged in production, and increasing their orders.  

Major Customers

Our top 5 customers accounted for approximately 73% of our net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to 76%, for the same period in 2007.  In addition, the top 3 customer concentration was 57% for the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to 62% in the same period in 2007.  We continue to see a positive trend in customer diversification and revenue concentration.  Over the last couple of years, we have changed our customer base from primarily semiconductor, industrial, and communication industries to medical device manufacturing,



Page 29 of 45


Table of contents


aero-space/defense and alternative energy industries.  We believe that our ability to grow our core business 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 based on our customer’s performance and the end users’ markets which we have no control over. 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 

For the three months ended June 30, 2008 our gross profits were 23% from 26% in the same period in 2007.   This was caused primarily due to increased direct labor and overtime pay caused by scheduling and additional receiving inspection to address quality issues from our PCB suppliers.   Our gross profits 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.  


Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses 

For the three months ended June 30, 2008 our SG&A expenses was 17% compared to 20% for the same period in 2007.  The improvements were primarily due to increased efficiency across our operations.


Net Income/ (Loss) from operations

For the three months ended June 30, 2008, our net income from operations was 3% which was unchanged from the same period in 2007.  


For the three months ended June 30, 2008 our interest expense was ($37,596) compared to ($37,000) for the same period in 2007.

We reduced our interest rate from 20% to 12% in August 2006 by refinancing our lines of credit into term notes.



On July 9, 1997 and December 21, 1997, the Company entered into two lease agreements, with Crocker capital, which subsequently assigned the leases to The CIT Group.  In September 2004 the Company had outstanding balances of $457,604 and $556,293 on the two leases and was unable to make the monthly lease payments. As a result, the Company entered into a forbearance agreement with The CIT Group, with monthly payments of $7,500 and an early payment schedule as follows:


The CIT Group would release the Company and its guarantors if one of the following payments were made, less the total of all monthly payments made to that date:


$375,000 if paid by October 25, 2004

$425,000 if paid by December 25, 2004

$500,000 if paid by June 25, 2005

$550,000 if paid by December 25, 2005

$600,000 if paid by June 25, 2006

$650,000 if paid by December 25, 2006

$700,000 if paid by June 25, 2007


On June 1, 2007 an amended forbearance agreement was entered into:


7)

In consideration of CIT entering into this Addendum, Probe will pay CIT the sum of $7,500 on or before June 25, 2007, which was paid.

8)

Recital B is amended to state that as of June 25, 2007 Probe’s payment obligation to CIT totals $457,500.

9)

Section 2.3 of the Forbearance Agreement is amended to state that probe will pay CIT the amount of $457,500 in sixty-one (61) monthly installments of $7,500 each, commencing on July 25, 2007 and ending on July 25, 2012. If at any time Probe elects to pay in full the remaining balance, upon 30 day written notice, CIT will provide a payoff figure for the remaining balance using a present value rate of 7.0%.

10)

The Company imputed interest at 7% over the term of the payments, which resulted in a present value of $384,025 and $318,841 at June 30, 2007 and 2008 respectively.

11)

This resulted in a gain of $324,330 which had an effect on Net profit per common share of $.031 and Diluted Net Profit per common share of $.022.

12)

As of June 30, 2008 the outstanding balance was $318,842.

 

We had a balloon payment of $710,286 in notes payables due on April 15 2008.  We are currently exploring venues to extend the notes payable term by 18 to 36 month or pay them off.  We were able to extend $295,608 of the balloon notes by 18 month; leaving $414,678 with balloon payments past due.  These notes are in default until extended or paid in full.

Evaluation of Disclosure 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-Q. 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.


Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting


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


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 June 30, 2008, we believe that there are no 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.

 

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.

 



Item 1A.  Risk Factors.

RISKS ABOUT OUR BUSINESS


OUR INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS HAVE ISSUED A GOING CONCERN OPINION AND IF WE CANNOT OBTAIN ADDITIONAL FINANCING AND/OR REDUCE OUR OPERATING COSTS SUFFICIENTLY, WE MAY HAVE TO CURTAIL OPERATIONS AND MAY ULTIMATELY CEASE TO EXIST.


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. The Company had a net profit of $121,260 and a working capital surplus of $62,135 and improved their total stockholders deficit by $164,165 for the six months ended, June 30, 2008.  However, they still had shareholder deficit of $(108,875) as of June 30, 2008.



Page 32 of 45


Table of contents


Therefore the ability of the Company to operate as a going concern is still dependent upon its ability (1) to obtain sufficient debt and/or equity capital and/or (2) to continue generating positive cash flow from operations.


WE HAVE AN ACCUMULATED DEFICIT AND MAY INCUR ADDITIONAL LOSSES; THEREFORE WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO OBTAIN THE ADDITIONAL FINANCING NEEDED FOR WORKING CAPITAL, CAPITAL EXPENDITURES AND TO MEET OUR DEBT SERVICE OBLIGATIONS.


As of June 30, 2008, we had current liabilities of $1,853,043. Our debt could limit our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, debt service requirements, or other purposes in the future, as needed; to plan for, or react to, changes in technology and in our business and competition; and to react in the event of an economic downturn.


We may not be able to meet our debt service obligations. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow or obtain funds for required payments, or if we fail to comply with covenants in our revolving lines of credit, we will be in default.


WE FACE INTENSE COMPETITION, WHICH MAY REDUCE OUR SALES, OPERATING PROFITS, OR BOTH.


The market segments in which we compete are rapidly evolving and intensely competitive. The electronic manufacturing service or “EMS” industry is extremely competitive and includes hundreds of companies, several of which have achieved substantial market share. We compete with numerous domestic and foreign EMS firms, including Benchmark Electronics, Inc.; Celestica Inc; Flextronics International Ltd.; Jabil Circuit, Inc.; Pemstar, Inc.; Plexus Corp.; Sanmina-SCI Corporation; CTS Electronics; Solectron Corporation; SMS Technologies, Inc.; Express Manufacturing, Inc. and others.  Current and prospective customers also evaluate our capabilities against the merits of internal production. Some of our competitors may have greater design, manufacturing, financial or other resources than us. Additionally, we face competition from foreign ODM suppliers, who have a substantial share of the global market for information technology hardware production, primarily related to notebook and desktop computers and personal computer motherboards, as well as provide consumer products and other technology manufacturing services.

     

In recent years, many participants in the industry, including us, have substantially expanded their manufacturing capacity. The overall demand for electronics manufacturing services has decreased, resulting in increased capacity and substantial pricing pressures, which has harmed our operating results. Certain sectors of the EMS industry are currently experiencing increased price competition, and if this increased level of competition should continue, our revenues and gross margin may continue to be adversely affected.


WE MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY SHORTAGES OF REQUIRED ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS.   IN ADDITION, WE DEPEND ON A LIMITED NUMBER OF SUPPLIERS TO PROCURE OUR PARTS FOR PRODUCTION WHICH IF AVAILABILITY OF PRODUCTS BECOMES COMPROMISED IT COULD ADD TO OUR COST OF GOODS SOLD AND AFFECT OUR REVENUE GROWTH.


At various times, there have been shortages of some of the electronic components that we use, as a result of strong demand for those components or problems experienced by suppliers. These unanticipated component shortages have resulted in curtailed production or delays in production, which prevented us from making scheduled shipments to customers in the past and may do so in the future. Our inability to make scheduled shipments could cause us to experience a reduction in our sales and an increase in our costs and could adversely affect our relationship with existing customers as well as prospective customers. Component shortages may also increase our cost of goods sold because we may be required to pay higher prices for components in short supply and redesign or reconfigure products to accommodate substitute components. As a result, component shortages could adversely affect our operating results for a particular period due to the resulting revenue shortfall and increased manufacturing or component costs.  In addition, we depend upon a number of major suppliers for our products.  We do not have long-term agreements with our major suppliers, except for our purchase orders.   There is an inherent risk that certain products will be unavailable for prompt delivery or, in some cases, discontinued.  We will have only limited control over any third-party manufacturer as to quality controls, timeliness of production and deliveries and various other



Page 33 of 45


Table of contents


factors.  Lack of long-term agreement with our major suppliers could also impact material availability and could delay shipments.  Should the availability of products be compromised, it could also force us to develop alternative products, which could add to the cost of goods sold and compromise delivery commitments.  


OUR PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDERS, DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS , IN THE AGGREGATE, BENEFICIALLY OWN MORE THAN 50% OF OUR OUTSTANDING COMMON STOCK AND THESE SHAREHOLDERS, IF ACTING TOGETHER, WILL BE ABLE TO EXERT SUBSTANTIAL INFLUENCE OVER ALL MATTERS REQUIRING APPROVAL OF OUR SHAREHOLDERS .


Our principal shareholders, directors and executive officers in the aggregate, beneficially own more than 50% our outstanding common stock on a fully diluted basis. These shareholders, if acting together, will be able to exert substantial influence over all matters requiring approval of our shareholders, including amendments to our Articles of Incorporation, fundamental corporate transactions such as mergers, acquisitions, the sale of the company, and other matters involving the direction of our business and affairs and specifically the ability to determine the members of our board of directors. (See: “Principal Shareholders”)


WE CURRENTLY  SERVICE AND ATTEMPT TO OBTAIN THE MAJORITY OF OUR CUSTOMERS IN THE LIMITED GEOGRAPHIC OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA WHICH IS A SMALL ADDRESSABLE MARKET AND COULD BE SUBJECT TO ECONOMIC HARDSHIP OR SLOWDOWN, AS A RESULT OUR GROWTH COULD BE LIMITED AND ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR PROJECTED SALES AND OPERATING INCOME.


We currently service, solicit, and direct a majority of our marketing efforts to customers in the Southern California region.  This is a very small addressable market which ultimately limits the amount of growth we could experience.  In addition, this region could experience an economic recession or other market contraction which would cause our current customers and any potential customers to also contract their businesses as well and cease outsourcing any current products that we currently service and would attempt to obtain. Both the size of the market and any potential economic hardship affecting this small regional market could adversely affect our project sales and operating incomer.  If we are forced to expand our marketing efforts outside this region we could also incur significant costs in an attempt to penetrate other regional or national markets.


WE DEPEND ON LOW TO MEDIUM VOLUME HIGH MIX TECHNOLOGY PRODUCTS THAT ARE BUILT DOMESTICALLY. THESE APPLICATIONS INCLUDE INDUSTRIAL INSTRUMENTATION, MEDICAL DEVICES, AEROSPACE-DEFENSE, ALTERNATIVE FUEL TECHNOLOGIES, SCIENTIFIC COMMUNICATION, SEMICONDUCTOR AND AUTOMOTIVE PRODUCTS, WHICH CONTINUALLY PRODUCE TECHNOLOGICALLY ADVANCED PRODUCTS WITH SHORT LIFE CYCLES; OUR INABILITY TO CONTINUALLY MANUFACTURE SUCH PRODUCTS ON A COST-EFFECTIVE BASIS COULD HARM OUR BUSINESS.


During the six months ended June 30, 2008 we derived approximately 20% of our revenue from customers in the Medical Device Manufacturing, 19% Industrial Products, 16% from customers in Alternative Fuel, and 40% from customers in Aerospace/Defense industries.

     

Factors affecting these industries in general could seriously harm our customers and, as a result, us. These factors include:


·

Rapid changes in technology, which result in short product life cycles, often reduce the volume and market share for our customers and ultimately us. It will lead to the loss of previous design wins and frequent new product introductions and substantial development costs. This could result in loss of revenue and it could adversely affect our operating income.


·

Seasonality of demand for our customers’ products would force our customers to manage their inventories for seasonal variations and inventory management and excess build ups. Customers could dramatically increase their request for production quantities, which could cause lead time problems with getting the components or we may not be able to build enough products which could have loss of revenue for our



Page 34 of 45


Table of contents


customers. As a result we could lose these customers and it would adversely affect our projected sales. If the projected sales will not materialize, we will have loss of revenue and reduced margins.  Any cancellation or delay in production would also have the same adverse effect on our sales projections and profitability.


·

The inability of our customers to successfully market their products, and the failure of these products to gain widespread commercial acceptance; could effect their long term business plans and sales.  Our success depends upon the ability of our customers to successfully market their products and if they fail, it could result in cancellations or rescheduling orders lower sales volume and operating income.


·

Recessionary periods in our customers’ markets will affect both our customers and our overall business output. It would require dramatic changes to the overall business model, layoffs and major adjustments to the business overhead.  If we fail to adjust to new recessionary environment, our business would be adversely affected and we may not be able to compete successfully against other companies in our industry and achieve profitability.


THE MAJORITY OF OUR SALES COME FROM A SMALL NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS WITH WHOM WE DO NOT HAVE LONG TERM CONTRACTS; IF WE LOSE ANY OF THESE CUSTOMERS, OUR SALES COULD DECLINE SIGNIFICANTLY.


Sales to our five largest customers have represented a significant percentage of our net sales in recent periods. Our five largest customers accounted for approximately 73% of net sales during the three months ended June 30, 2008.

     

Our principal customers have varied from year to year, and our principal customers may not continue to purchase services from us at current levels, if at all. Significant reductions in sales to any of these customers, or the loss of major customers, would seriously harm our business. If we are not able to timely replace expired, canceled or reduced contracts with new business, our revenues could be harmed.

The part number, quantity,  price, workmanship standards, and scheduled delivery dates of the products to be Manufactured are determined by written purchase orders given by our customers and accepted or confirmed by us in writing or via email.  We agree to deliver the products manufactured pursuant to each purchase order in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the purchase order. Probe manufactures hundreds of different types of assemblies on an ongoing basis and each product has a purchase order associated with it.  Please see attcahed filing of several samples of these purchase orders.

We do not have any long term agreements with our customers, and our principal customers may not continue to purchase services from us. The duration of a purchase order is usually from 30 to 360 days. These purchase orders could be cancelled or rescheduled at any time. Significant reductions in sales to any of these customers would reduce our projected sales, adversely affect our profits, and seriously harm our business.

IF WE LOSE KEY SENIOR MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL OUR BUSINESS COULD BE NEGATIVELY AFFECTED. FURTHER, WE WILL NEED TO RECRUIT AND RETAIN ADDITIONAL SKILLED MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL AND IF WE ARE NOT ABLE TO DO SO, OUR BUSINESS AND OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE TO GROW COULD BE HARMED.


Our success depends to a large extent upon the continued services of our executive officers. Generally our employees are not bound by employment or non-competition agreements, and we cannot assure that we will retain our executive officers and other key employees. We could be seriously harmed by the loss of any of our executive officers. In order to manage our growth, we will need to recruit and retain additional skilled management personnel and if we are not able to do so, our business and our ability to continue to grow could be harmed. Although a number of companies in our industry have implemented workforce reductions, there remains substantial competition for highly skilled employees.


WE ARE SUBJECT TO ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE RISKS AND UNEXPECTED COSTS THAT WE MAY INCUR WITH RESPECT TO ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS MAY RESULT IN



Page 35 of 45


Table of contents


ADDITIONAL LOSS CONTINGENCIES, THE QUANTIFICATION OF WHICH CANNOT BE DETERMINED AT THIS TIME.

  

We are subject to various federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws and regulations, including those governing the use, storage, discharge and disposal of hazardous substances in the ordinary course of our manufacturing process.  If more stringent compliance or cleanup standards under environmental laws or regulations are imposed, or the results of future testing and analyses at our current or former operating facilities indicate that we are responsible for the release of hazardous substances, we may be subject to additional remediation liability. Further, additional environmental matters may arise in the future at sites where no problem is currently known or at sites that we may acquire in the future. Currently unexpected costs that we may incur with respect to environmental matters may result in additional loss contingencies, the quantification of which cannot be determined at this time.


WE HAVE DEDICATED COMPANY’S CAPITAL RESOURCES IN THE PURSUIT OF NEW BUSINESS VENTURES WHICH MAY NOT BE PROFITABLE IN THE NEAR FURTURE OR AT ALL AND AS A RESULT THE COMPANY COULD EXPERIENCE OPERATING LOSSES ASSOICATED WITH THE NEW VENTURES.


To provide for long term sustainability and growth, the Company is now leveraging its manufacturing and commercializing competencies, combined with product knowledge to develop its own proprietary products in alternative fuel technologies.  The two major sectors in alternative energy are electricity generation and transportation.  Our research and development efforts have been focused on these two sectors.  In transportation our focus is on power electronics and controllers, which enable vehicles to operate on clean alternative fuels. In power generation our focus is on Hydrogen, distributed power generators, and solar power.  Further more, we recently entered into a letter of intent to purchase the assets of Solar Master Company.  Solar Masters is a solar company dedicated to providing highly innovated solutions by means of solar power through the development of lighting and battery charging products.   There can be no assurance that any of these business ventures may be profitable at any time and may cause the Company to sustain operating losses beyond the capital we have already expended to pursue these ventures.


Item 2.  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds


For the quarter ended March 31, 2008 the company accrued 37,808 shares of common stock for officer compensation, these shares were issued on April 12, 2008.


For the quarter ended June 30, 2008 the company accrued 35,155 shares of common stock for officer compensation, which were un-issued, as of June 30, 2008.


We believe the issuance of the shares described above were exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirement of the Securities Act of 1933 by virtue of Section 4(2).  The shares were issued directly by the Company and did not involve a public offering or general solicitation.  The recipients of the shares were afforded an opportunity for effective access to files and records of our company that contained the relevant information needed to make their investment decision, including our financial statements and 34 Act reports. We reasonably believed that the recipients had such knowledge and experience in our financial and business matters that they were capable of evaluating the merits and risks of their investment. The recipients had the opportunity to speak with our management on several occasions prior to their investment decision.
