PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors:
Probe Manufacturing, Inc.
17475 Gillette Avenue
Irvine, CA 92614
We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheet of Probe Manufacturing, Inc. as of March 31, 2010, and the related statements of operations and cash flows for the three to nine month periods ended
March 31, 2010. 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 the uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
The use of the words we, us, our or the Company refers to Probe Manufacturing, Inc. and its subsidiaries, except where the context otherwise requires.
1. Organization and Description of the Business.
Probe Manufacturing Industries, Inc. was incorporated on July 7, 1995. On April 21, 2005, we were re-domiciled from California to Nevada, and changed our name to Probe Manufacturing, Inc. Probe Manufacturing, Inc. (the Company or Probe) is a global 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. In August 2008, we acquired the assets of Solar Masters, LLC, a distributer of solar powered products. Our headquarters are located in Lake Forest, California. Solar Masters is located in Fountain Valley, California.
On July 12, 2009, we agreed to convert a note receivable from Solar Masters in the amount of $89,156 into 8,000,000 shares of common stock in Solar Masters.
On July 13, 2009, we entered into a stock sale agreement with Solar Masters Acquisition Company, to sell its entire interest in its investment in Solar Masters, Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary) for $35,000, consisting of a note receivable for $25,000 and the assumption of $10,000 in notes payable referenced above. This resulted in a loss on sale of investment of $190,464. Barrett Evans, Interim CEO and a member of our board of directors resigned on July 27, 2009 and took a position with Solar Masters as a consultant. Kambiz Mahdi was a member of the board of directors of Solar Masters and resigned on July 14, 2009.
On June 17, 2009, we entered into a stock purchase agreement with KB Development Group, LLC to sell 152,000,000 shares of our common stock for $120,000. Concurrently; we entered into settlement agreements with each of our note holders to settle the outstanding notes payable for $120,000 and the assumption of a $10,000 note by Solar Masters. Between July 13, 2009 and July 27, 2009 all of the notes were paid and settled, which resulted in a realized gain of $708,708 and a reduction in our notes payable of $840,203. Kambiz Mahdi, a member of our board of directors is the managing partner of KB Development Group, LLC.
On July 27, 2009, our board of directors appointed Kambiz Mahdi as Chief Executive officer.
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; for the three months ended March 31, 2010, we had a net profit of $16,157 and a working capital surplus of $49,344, and we had shareholder deficit of $(61,171), our ability to operate as a going concern is still dependent upon our ability (1) to obtain sufficient debt and/or equity capital and/or (2) continue to generate positive cash flow from operations.

PROBE MANUFACTURING, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (Continued)
Plan of Operations
We have seen a dramatic drop in revenue beginning in the fourth quarter of 2008 and continuing through March 31, 2010. We have made significant expense cuts as a direct result of this drop in revenue. In addition to the steps discussed below, we have initiated a major sales push in an attempt to gain new revenue; however no guarantees can be made as to whether or not we will be successful in winning the quoted business or if it will be able to keep its existing business.
Management is taking the following steps to address this situation: (a) to improve operational efficiencies by: (i) global expansion of our material sourcing and reducing our direct cost of materials (ii) by creating a strategic alliance with global suppliers in lower cost regions and outsourcing some of our end-to-end services (iii) by making a settlement with our note holders (iv) increase revenue by focusing on organic growth and acquisition of new domestic customers by offering both local and lower cost off shore end-to-end solutions (v) and investing into technology by becoming an incubator to technology innovators.
Our future success is likely dependent on our ability to attain additional capital to support growth and ultimately, upon its ability to reach profitability and then maintain that profitability. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining any such financing, or that it will be able 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, we 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 we be unable to continue as a going concern.
2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.
Our accompanying unaudited financial statements 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 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC on April 15, 2009.
We follow United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or GAAP. Certain of the principles involve selection among alternatives and choices of methods, which are described in the footnotes to our unaudited financial statements.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We maintain 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 $250,000 per commercial bank. For purposes of the statement of cash flows we consider all cash and highly liquid investments with initial maturities of one year or less to be cash equivalents.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (Continued)
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
We grant credit to its customers located within the United States of America; and do not require collateral. Our ability to collect receivables is affected by economic fluctuations in the geographic areas and industries served by us.
Reserves for un-collectable amounts are provided, based on past experience and a specific analysis of the accounts. Although we expect to collect amounts due, actual collections may differ from the estimated amounts. As of March 31, 2010, we had a reserve for potentially un-collectable accounts of $16,620. Five (5) customers accounted for approximately 79% of accounts receivable at March 31, 2010 and one customer accounted for 25% of the accounts receivable balance. Our trade accounts primarily represent unsecured receivables. Historically, our 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 raw materials, as well as changing customer demand. We make 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 March 31, 2010, we had a reserve for potentially obsolete inventory of $350,000.
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. We follow 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)

PROBE MANUFACTURING, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (Continued)
Long Lived Assets
Our 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 our 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. We have 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 have 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 March 31, 2010, we had outstanding common shares of 184,638,320 used in the calculation of basic earnings per share. Basic Weighted average common shares and equivalents at for the three months ended March 31, 2010, was 184,638,320. As of March 31, 2010, we had outstanding warrants to purchase 14,247,330 additional common shares and options to purchase 1,103,861 additional common shares, which may dilute future earnings per share. Fully diluted weighted average common shares and equivalents for the three months ended at March 31, 2010, was 199,989,511.

Research and Development:
We are curtailing its research and development and focusing our business on its core business of electronics contract manufacturing.
Research and Development Costs incurred in association with the alternative fuels technology development (which include salaries and equipment) were expensed as incurred. We expensed $0 in R&D during the three months ended March 31, 2010.
Segment Information
Except as identified above in the research and development section, we operate our primary business of electronics contract manufacturing.
Share Based Compensation
The company has adopted the use of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, Share-Based Payment (SFAS No. 123R) (now contained in FASB Codification Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation), which supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and its related implementation guidance and eliminates the alternative to use Opinion 25s 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (Continued)
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 awardthe 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 three months ended, March 31, 2010 and 2009, we recognized $2,058 and $2,058 respectively, in share based expense, due to the issuance of our options and warrants. We also had $3,384 in non-vested expense to be recognized over the next year. We also recognized $7,500 in share based expense due to the issuance of 750,000 shares to key individuals.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS No. 109 (now contained in FASB Codification Topic 740-10-25, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes), 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. As of March 31, 2010, we had a net operating loss carry forward of $(556,633) and a deferred tax asset of $189,255 using the statutory rate of 34%. The deferred tax asset may be recognized in future periods, not to exceed 20 years. However, due to the uncertainty of tour ability to operate as a going concern, we have not booked any deferred tax asset as a result.

6. Capital Lease Settlement Obligations
On July 9, 1997 and December 21, 1997, we entered into two lease agreements, with Crocker capital, which subsequently assigned the leases to The CIT Group. In September 2004, we 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, we 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 us 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:
1)
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.
2)
Recital B is amended to state that as of June 25, 2007 Probes payment obligation to CIT totals $457,500.
3)
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%.
4)
We imputed interest at 7.00% over the term of the payments, which resulted in a present value of $384,025 and 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.
5)
As of March 31, 2010 the outstanding balance was $ 253,460
Subsequently, On April 9, 2009 we entered into an agreement with CIT to settle the balance in full for $70,000, as a result we realized a gain of $183,460.

As of March 31, 2010 there were 184,638,320 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, respectively.

Each share of our common stock has identical rights and privileges in every respect. 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 September 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 our 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 us. At any time, we 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, we, 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 our Series C Convertible Preferred stock. This series A and B Warrants are pursuant to the terms and conditions of our Series A and B warrant agreement as amended.
Preferred Series C
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, whichever 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 $0.267 multiplied by 100 (1 divided by $0.267, 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 5,265,000 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.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation
Overview
Probe Manufacturing, Inc. was founded in 1995. Probe is a high quality global provider of electronics manufacturing services (EMS). We provide a range of engineering, 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. 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, were 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.
On August 13, 2008 the issuer entered a definitive agreement for the sale and purchase of business assets of Solar Masters. Solar Masters is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Probe. Solar Masters is an importer and distributor of solar powered products.

The main product line of Solar Masters consists of various solar powered barricade lights.

Plan of Operations
We have seen a dramatic drop in revenue beginning in the fourth quarter of 2008 and continuing through March 31, 2010. We have made significant expense cuts as a direct result of this drop in revenue. In addition to the steps discussed below, we have initiated a major sales push in an attempt to gain new revenue; however no guarantees can be made as to whether or not we will be successful in winning the quoted business or if it will be able to keep its existing business.
Management is taking the following steps to address this situation: (a) to improve operational efficiencies by: (i) global expansion of our material sourcing and reducing our direct cost of materials (ii) by creating a strategic alliance with global suppliers in lower cost regions and outsourcing some of our end-to-end services (iii) by making a settlement with our note holders (iv) increase revenue by focusing on organic growth and acquisition of new domestic customers by offering both local and lower cost off shore end-to-end solutions (v) and investing into technology by becoming an incubator to technology innovators.
Our future success is likely dependent on its ability to attain additional capital to support growth and ultimately, upon its ability to reach profitability and then maintain that profitability. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining any such financing, or that it will be able 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, we 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 we be unable to continue as a going concern.
On June 17, 2009, we entered into a stock purchase agreement with KB Development Group, LLC. to sell 152,000,000 shares of our common stock for $120,000. Concurrently; we entered into Settlement agreements with each of our note holders to settle the outstanding notes payable for $120,000 and the assumption of a $10,000 note by Solar Masters. Subsequently; between July 13, 2009 and July 27, 2009 all of the notes were paid and settled, which resulted in a realized gain of $708,708 and a reduction in our notes payable of $840,203.
On July 13, 2009, we entered into a stock sale agreement with Solar Masters Acquisition Company, to sell its entire interest in Solar Masters, Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary) for $35,000, consisting of a Note Receivable for $25,000 and the assumption of $10,000 in notes payable referenced above. This resulted in a loss on sale of investment of $190,464.
Summary of Results:
For the three month period ended March 31, 2010, we had a net profit of $16,157 compared to net loss of $222,518 for the same period in 2009.
For the three month period March 31, 2010, our revenue was $487,506 compared to $887,928 for the same period in 2009, mainly due to the loss of 3 major customers and reduced orders from existing accounts.
For the three month period ended March 31, 2010, our cost of goods sold was 68% compared to 86% for the same period in 2009, mainly due to the decrease in direct labor as a percent of the sales.

Critical Accounting Policies and basis of presentation
Our accompanying unaudited financial statements 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 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Company on April 15, 2010.
We follow 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 our unaudited financial statements.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We maintain 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 $250,000 per commercial bank. For purposes of the statement of cash flows we consider 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
We grant credit to its customers located within the United States of America; and do not require collateral. Our ability to collect receivables is affected by economic fluctuations in the geographic areas and industries served by us.
Reserves for un-collectable amounts are provided, based on past experience and a specific analysis of the accounts. Although we expect to collect amounts due, actual collections may differ from the estimated amounts. As of March 31, 2010, we had a reserve for potentially un-collectable accounts of $16,620. Five (5) customers accounted for approximately 79% of accounts receivable at March 31, 2010 and one customer accounted for 25% of the accounts receivable balance. Our trade accounts primarily represent unsecured receivables. Historically, our 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 raw materials, as well as changing customer demand. We make 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 March 31, 2010, we had a reserve for potentially obsolete inventory of $350,000.
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. We follow 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)
31 of 46
Long Lived Assets
Our 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 our 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. We have 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 have 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 March 31, 2010, we had outstanding common shares of 184,638,320 used in the calculation of basic earnings per share. Basic Weighted average common shares and equivalents at for the three months ended March 31, 2010, was 184,638,320. As of March 31, 2010, we had outstanding warrants to purchase 14,247,330 additional common shares and options to purchase 1,103,861 additional common shares, which may dilute future earnings per share. Fully diluted weighted average common shares and equivalents for the three months ended at March 31, 2010, was 199,989,511.

Research and Development:
We are curtailing its research and development and focusing our business on its core business of electronics contract manufacturing.
Research and Development Costs incurred in association with the alternative fuels technology development (which include salaries and equipment) were expensed as incurred. We expensed $0 in R&D during the three months ended March 31, 2010.
Segment Information
Except as identified above in the research and development section, we operate our primary business of electronics contract manufacturing.
Share Based Compensation
The company has adopted the use of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, Share-Based Payment (SFAS No. 123R) (now contained in FASB Codification Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation), which supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and its related implementation guidance and eliminates the alternative to use Opinion 25s 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.
33 of 46
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 awardthe 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 three months ended, March 31, 2010 and 2009, we recognized $2,058 and $2,058 respectively, in share based expense, due to the issuance of our options and warrants. We also had $3,384 in non-vested expense to be recognized over the next year. We also recognized $7,500 in share based expense due to the issuance of 750,000 shares to key individuals.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS No. 109 (now contained in FASB Codification Topic 740-10-25, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes), 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. As of March 31, 2010, we had a net operating loss carry forward of $(556,633) and a deferred tax asset of $189,255 using the statutory rate of 34%. The deferred tax asset may be recognized in future periods, not to exceed 20 years. However, due to the uncertainty of tour ability to operate as a going concern, we have not booked any deferred tax asset as a result.
Result of operations:
The following table summarizes certain items in the statements of operations as a percentage of net sales. The financial information and discussion below should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial statements and notes thereto.

Net Sales
For the three month period ended March 31, 2010, our revenue was $487,506 compared to $887,928 for the same period in 2009. The decrease in revenue was mainly due to the loss of 3 major customers and reduced orders from existing accounts.
34 of 46
Major Customers
Our top 5 customers accounted for approximately 68% of our net sales for the three month period ended March 31, 2010, compared to 91%, for the same period in 2009. 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 customers 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 month period ended March 31, 2010, our gross profits were 31% from 14% in the same period in 2009. This was caused primarily due to the fixed portions of our direct labor (in 2009) in relation to the severe drop in sales This was addressed in the remainder of 2009 and the 1st quarter of 2010. 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 and potential scrap.
Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses
For the three month period ended March 31, 2010, our SG&A expense was 26% compared to 36% for the same period in 2009. This was an intended adjustment to align the expenses to the decrease in revenue
Net Income/ (Loss) from operations
For the three months ended March 31, 2010, our net income from operations was 3.4% compared to a net loss of (22%) for the same period in 2009.
For the three month period ended March 31, 2010, our interest expense was ($650) compared to ($24,769) for the same period in 2009, this was to due to the settlement agreements referenced in Note 12.

On July 9, 1997 and December 21, 1997, we 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:

In September 2004, we had outstanding balances of $457,604 and $556,293 on the two leases and were unable to make the monthly lease payments. As a result, we 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 us 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:
1)
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.
2)
Recital B is amended to state that as of June 25, 2007 Probes payment obligation to CIT totals $457,500.

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%.
4)
We imputed interest at 7.00% over the term of the payments, which resulted in a present value of $384,025 and a gain of $324,330 which had an effect on Net profit per common share of $0.031 and Diluted Net Profit per common share of $0.022.
5)
As of March 31, 2010 the outstanding balance was $260,960.
As of June 30, 2009, we had outstanding note balances totaling 690,708, all of which were in default.

Concurrently we entered into Settlement agreements with each of our note holders to settle the outstanding notes payable for $120,000 and the assumption of a $10,000 note by Solar Masters. Subsequently; between July 13, 2009 and July 27, 2009 all of the notes were paid and settled, which resulted in a realized gain of $708,708 and a reduction in our notes payable of $840,203.

PART II--OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.
Legal Proceedings
We 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 March 31, 2010, we believe that there are no claims or litigation pending.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
There are no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on April 15, 2010, except as disclosed below.
RISKS ABOUT OUR BUSINESS
IF WE CANNOT OBTAIN ADDITIONAL FINANCING AND/OR REDUCE OUR OPERATING COSTS SUFFICIENTLY, AND THE EFFECT OF OTHER UNKNOW ADVERSE FACTORS COULD THREATEN OUR EXISTENCE AS A GOING CONCERN. THEREFORE. WE MAY HAVE TO CURTAIL OPERATIONS AND MAY ULTIMATELY CEASE TO EXIST. THEREFORE,
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; for the nine months ended March 31, 2010, we had a net profit of $132,877 and a working capital surplus of $35,549 and we had shareholder surplus of $16,434, our ability to operate as a going concern is still dependent upon its ability (1) to obtain sufficient debt and/or equity capital and/or (2) continue to generate 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 March 31, 2010, we had current liabilities of $500,697. 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.
