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 September 30, 2011 and the related statements of operations and cash flows for the three and nine month period ended
September 30, 2011. 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 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, the Company was re-domiciled from California to Nevada, and changed its name to Probe Manufacturing, Inc. We provide a range of engineering, manufacturing and business services to companies who design and market electronic products, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). Our revenue is generated from sales of our services primarily to customers in the medical device, aerospace, automotive, industrial and instrumentation product manufacturers. We provide our domestic customers with low cost, flexible and high quality manufacturing services. We utilize global partnerships and manufacturing scale to secure the best cost and material availability providing both easy on shore access with local program management during product conceptualization and offshore volume manufacturing. The services that we provide are commonly referred to as electronics manufacturing services (EMS). Our EMS offerings include new product introduction, collaborative design, procurement and materials management, product manufacturing, product warranty repair, and end-of-life support. We offer our customers comprehensive and integrated design and manufacturing services, from initial product design to production and direct order fulfillment. Our engineering services include product design, printed circuit board layout, prototyping, and test development. Our supply chain management solutions include purchasing, management of materials, and order fulfillment. Our manufacturing services include surface mount and through-hole assembly, cable assembly, mechanical assembly and fully integrated box build systems for high complexity electronics.
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, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, is the managing partner of KB Development Group, LLC.
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 nine months ended September 30, 2011, we had a net profit of $96,579, a working capital surplus of $156,508 and a shareholder surplus of $355,549; we had an accumulated deficit of $(232,843), 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 and maintain profitability.

PROBE MANUFACTURING, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (Continued)
Plan of Operations
Management is taking the following steps to sustain profitability and growth: (i) utilization of global sourcing to secure cost savings and parts availability; (ii) customer centric program management teams through our local factory supporting multi-million dollar relationships; (iii) strategic partnerships with innovative technology start-ups, in return for manufacturing rights and equity; (iv) new sales and expansion of service offerings into cable, plastics and sheet metal; and (v) mergers and acquisitions.
Our future success is likely dependent on our ability to sustain profitable growth and attain additional capital to support growth. 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 our
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 February 18, 2011 we entered into an Accounts Receivable Purchasing Agreement (the ARPA) with DSCH Capital Partners, LLC d/b/a Far West Capital (FWC), an unaffiliated third party. Pursuant to the ARPA, FWC may purchase, in its sole discretion, eligible accounts receivable of our company on a revolving basis up to a maximum of $750,000. Under the terms of the ARPA, FWC may purchase eligible receivables from us with full recourse for the face amount of such eligible receivables less a discount of 1.0%. In addition, we are required to pay FWC a monthly cost of funds fee equal to the net funds employed by FWC at a rate equal to the Wall Street Journal Prime Lending Rate plus 4.75%, with a floor of 7.00%. FWC will retain 20% of the purchase price of the receivables as a reserve amount.
The ARPA also provides that FWC has the right to require us to repurchase any purchased accounts receivable: (a) if there is a dispute as to the validity of such receivable by the account debtor, (b) if certain covenants, warranties or representations made by us with respect to such receivables are breached, (c) upon and during the continuance of an event of default under the ARPA or upon the termination of the ARPA, or (d) if such receivable remains unpaid 90 days after the invoice date. The ARPA has an initial term of one year with automatic renewals for successive one-year periods. Notwithstanding that, FWC may terminate the ARPA at any time upon 90 days prior written notice or without notice upon and during the continuance of an event of default.
Additionally, provided there does not exist an event of default under the ARPA or the rider thereto (the Rider), FWC may make advances to or for the benefit of the company in an aggregate amount up to and not to exceed $250,000.00 from time to time during the term of the Rider and upon our request which advances shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of the ARPA and shall be revolving consisting of advances against our eligible inventory as defined in the Rider, as follows: (i) the advances against eligible inventory, at FWCs discretion, will be in amounts up to the sum 50% of all eligible inventory; provided, however, the advances against eligible inventory shall at no time exceed 33% of the net outstanding purchased accounts under the ARPA plus the outstanding amount due, or net funds employed, from advances made on eligible inventory within conditions contained within the Rider. The balance cap percentage shall be 25% after 120 days from date of the Rider. Eligible inventory will be valued at the lower of cost or market value.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (Continued)
There can be no assurances that this financing will be sufficient to sustain profitable growth and attain additional capital to support growth. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining any such additional financing, or that we 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 condensed financial statements have been prepared by us in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or GAAP, in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures required for annual financial statements have been condensed or excluded pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. Accordingly, our accompanying condensed financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Our accompanying condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in our view, of a normal recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim period. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year; such full year results may be less favorable.
In preparing our accompanying financial statements, management has evaluated subsequent events through the financial statement issuance date. We believe that although the disclosures contained herein are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading, our accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on March 31, 2011.
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.
Page 9 of 39
PROBE MANUFACTURING, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (Continued)
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 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 September 30, 2011, we had a reserve for potentially un-collectable accounts of $26,000. Five customers accounted for approximately 67% of accounts receivable at September 30, 2011 and one customer accounted for 29% of the accounts receivable balance. Our trade accounts primarily represent unsecured receivables. Historically, our bad debt write-off related to these trade accounts has 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 September 30, 2011, we had a reserve for potentially obsolete inventory of $170,000.
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)
Page 10 of 39
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 shares of our common Stock outstanding. As of September 30, 2011, we had outstanding common stock shares of 196,909,056 used in the calculation of basic earnings per share. Basic Weighted average common stock shares and equivalents for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, were 190,160,218. As of September 30, 2011, we had outstanding warrants to purchase 16,647,330 additional common stock shares and options to purchase 1,103,861 additional common stock shares, which may dilute future earnings per share. Fully diluted weighted average common stock shares and equivalents for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, was 207,846,386.
Research and Development:
For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 we expensed $0 for research and development.

Segment Information
We operate in one segment; our primary business of electronics contract manufacturing.
The North American Asset-Backed Securitization program and the accounts receivable factoring program were amended effective in the quarter ended July 2, 2010, such that sales of accounts receivable from these programs continue to be accounted for as sales of financial assets and are removed from the consolidated balance sheets. Cash received from the sale of accounts receivables under these programs, including amounts received for the beneficial interest that are paid upon collection of accounts receivables, are reported as cash provided by operating activities in the statement of cash flows (see Note 8).
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, or Topic 718), 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 Topic 718; 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 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 nine months ended, September 30, 2011 and 2010, we recognized $0 and $4,779, respectively, in share based amortization expense, due to the issuance of our stock options. We also had $0 in non-vested expense as of September 30, 2011 to be recognized over the next year. For the nine months ended, September 30, 2011 we also recognized $31,895 in share based expense due to the issuance of common stock and $6,600 in share based expense due to the issuance of warrants.

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 September 30, 2011, we had a net operating loss carry forward of $(232,843) and a deferred tax asset of $79,167 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 future events we have booked valuation allowance of $79,167.

Overview
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. We provide a range of engineering, manufacturing and business services to companies who design and market electronic products, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). Our revenue is generated from sales of our services primarily to customers in the medical device, aerospace, automotive, industrial and instrumentation product manufacturers. We provide our domestic customers with low cost, low risk, agile, flexible and high quality manufacturing services. We utilize global partnerships and manufacturing scale to secure the best cost and material availability providing both easy on shore access with local program management during product conceptualization and offshore volume manufacturing. The services that we provide are commonly referred to as electronics manufacturing services (EMS). Our EMS offerings include new product introduction, collaborative design, procurement and materials management, product manufacturing, product warranty repair, and end-of-life support. We offer our customers comprehensive and integrated design and manufacturing services, from initial product design to production and direct order fulfillment. Our engineering services include product design, printed circuit board layout, prototyping, and test development. Our supply chain management solutions include purchasing, management of materials, and order fulfillment. Our manufacturing services include surface mount and through-hole assembly, cable assembly, mechanical assembly, and fully integrated box build systems for high complexity electronics.
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, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, is a managing member of KB Development Group, LLC.
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 nine months ended September 30, 2011, we had a net profit of $96,579 a working capital surplus of $156,808 and a shareholder surplus of $355,549; we had an accumulated deficit of $(232,843) 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 and maintain profitability.

Plan of Operations
Management is taking the following steps to sustain profitability and growth: (i) utilization of global sourcing to secure best cost and availability; (ii) customer centric program management teams through our local factory supporting multi-million dollar relationships; (iii) strategic partnerships with technology innovators and start-ups, in return for manufacturing rights and equity; (iv) new sales and expansion of service offerings into cable, plastics and sheet metal; and (v) mergers and acquisitions.
Our future success is likely dependent on our ability to sustain profitable growth and attain additional capital to support growth. 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 February 18, 2011 we entered into an Accounts Receivable Purchasing Agreement (the ARPA) with DSCH Capital Partners, LLC d/b/a Far West Capital (FWC), an unaffiliated third party. Pursuant to the ARPA, FWC may purchase, in its sole discretion, eligible accounts receivable of our company on a revolving basis up to a maximum of $750,000. Under the terms of the ARPA, FWC may purchase eligible receivables from us with full recourse for the face amount of such eligible receivables less a discount of 1.0%. In addition, we are required to pay FWC a monthly cost of funds fee equal to the net funds employed by FWC at a rate equal to the Wall Street Journal Prime Lending Rate plus 4.75%, with a floor of 7.00%. FWC will retain 20% of the purchase price of the receivables as a reserve amount.
The ARPA also provides that FWC has the right to require us to repurchase any purchased accounts receivable: (a) if there is a dispute as to the validity of such receivable by the account debtor, (b) if certain covenants, warranties or representations made by us with respect to such receivables are breached, (c) upon and during the continuance of an event of default under the ARPA or upon the termination of the ARPA, or (d) if such receivable remains unpaid 90 days after the invoice date. The ARPA has an initial term of one year with automatic renewals for successive one-year periods. Notwithstanding that, FWC may terminate the ARPA at any time upon 90 days prior written notice or without notice upon and during the continuance of an event of default.
Additionally, provided there does not exist an event of default under the ARPA or the rider thereto (the Rider), FWC may make advances to or for the benefit of the company in an aggregate amount up to and not to exceed $250,000.00 from time to time during the term of the Rider and upon our request which advances shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of the ARPA and shall be revolving consisting of advances against our eligible inventory as defined in the Rider, as follows: (i) the advances against eligible inventory, at FWCs discretion, will be in amounts up to the sum 50% of all eligible inventory; provided, however, the advances against eligible inventory shall at no time exceed 33% of the net outstanding purchased accounts under the ARPA plus the outstanding amount due, or net funds employed, from advances made on eligible inventory within conditions contained within the Rider. The balance cap percentage shall be 25% after 120 days from date of the Rider. Eligible inventory will be valued at the lower of cost or market value.

There can be no assurances that this financing will be sufficient to sustain profitable growth and attain additional capital to support growth. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining any such additional financing, or that we 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.

Critical Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation
Our accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared by us in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or GAAP, in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures required for annual financial statements have been condensed or excluded pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. Accordingly, our accompanying condensed financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Our accompanying condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in our view, of a normal recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim period. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year; such full year results may be less favorable.
In preparing our accompanying financial statements, management has evaluated subsequent events through the financial statement issuance date. We believe that although the disclosures contained herein are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading, our accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on March 31, 2011.
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.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 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 September 30, 2011, we had a reserve for potentially un-collectable accounts of $26,000. Five customers accounted for approximately 67% of accounts receivable at September 30, 2011 and one customer accounted for 29% of the accounts receivable balance. Our trade accounts primarily represent unsecured receivables. Historically, our bad debt write-off related to these trade accounts has 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 September 30, 2011, we had a reserve for potentially obsolete inventory of $170,000.
Page 28 of 39
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)
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 shares of our common Stock outstanding. As of September 30, 2011, we had outstanding common stock shares of 196,909,056 used in the calculation of basic earnings per share. Basic Weighted average common stock shares and equivalents for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, were 190,160,218. As of September 30, 2011, we had outstanding warrants to purchase 16,647,330 additional common stock shares and options to purchase 1,103,861 additional common stock shares, which may dilute future earnings per share. Fully diluted weighted average common stock shares and equivalents for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, was 207,846,386.
Research and Development:
For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 we expensed $0 for research and development.

Segment Information
We operate in one segment; our primary business of electronics contract manufacturing.
The North American Asset-Backed Securitization program and the accounts receivable factoring program were amended effective in the quarter ended July 2, 2010, such that sales of accounts receivable from these programs continue to be accounted for as sales of financial assets and are removed from the consolidated balance sheets. Cash received from the sale of accounts receivables under these programs, including amounts received for the beneficial interest that are paid upon collection of accounts receivables, are reported as cash provided by operating activities in the statement of cash flows (see Note 8).
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, or Topic 718), 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 Topic 718; 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 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 nine months ended, September 30, 2011 and 2010, we recognized $0 and $4,779, respectively, in share based amortization expense, due to the issuance of our stock options. We also had $0 in non-vested expense as of September 30, 2011 to be recognized over the next year. For the nine months ended, September 30, 2011 we also recognized $25,295 in share based expense due to the issuance of common stock and $6,600 in share based expense due to the issuance of warrants.

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 September 30, 2011, we had a net operating loss carry forward of $(232,843) and a deferred tax asset of $79,167 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 future events we have booked valuation allowance of $79,167.

Net Sales
For the nine month period ended September 30, 2011, our revenue was $3,298,692 compared to $2,005,237 for the same period in 2010.
Major Customers
Our top five customers accounted for approximately 62% of our net sales for the three month period ended September 30,2011 compared to 61%, for the same period in 2010. 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.
Page 32 of 39
Gross Profit
For the nine month period ended September 30, 2011, our gross profits were 32% and 29% in the same period in 2010. This was caused primarily due to increased overtime in the first quarter of 2010 to meet the increased production demand.
For the nine month period ended September 30, 2011, our cost of goods sold was 68% compared to 71% for the same period in 2010, mainly due to the increase in direct labor and overtime as a percent of the sales.
Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses
For the nine month period ended September 30, 2011, our SG&A expense was 25% compared to 25% for the same period in 2010.
Net Income/ (Loss) from operations
For the nine month period ended September 30, 2011, our net income from operations was 6% compared to a 3% for the same period in 2010.
For the nine month period ended September 30, 2011, our interest expense was ($91,313) compared to ($7,950) for the same period in 2010, this was to due to the interest generated from our accounts receivable financing line referenced in Note 7.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
(a)
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to us, including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As required by Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act, an evaluation as of June 30, 2011 was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as of June 30, 2011, were effective.
(b)
Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

None.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
There are no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2011, 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 unknown adverse factors could threaten our existence as a going concern. Therefore, 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. Although for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we had a net profit of $96,579, a working capital surplus of $156,508 and a shareholder surplus of $355,549; we had an accumulated deficit of $(232,843) 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 and maintain profitability.
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 September 30, 2011, we had current liabilities of $1,325,279. 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.
