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 June 30, 2013 and the related statements of operations and cash flows for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013. 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.

PROBE MANUFACTURING, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
The use of the words Probe, PMI, 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. Probe is a high quality global electronics manufacturing service (EMS) company. We provide a full range of engineering, manufacturing and integrated supply chain services to original equipment manufacturers (OEM) companies, who design and market electronic products. Currently, our revenue is generated from sales of our services primarily to customers in the medical device, aerospace, alternative fuel, industrial and instrumentation 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
Going Concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company had a total stockholders equity of $791,604 and a working capital surplus of $182,128; however, we still had net loss of $(231,012) for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and an accumulated deficit of $(867,268) as of June 30, 2013. Therefore, the ability of the Company to operate as a going concern is still dependent upon its ability to: (1) obtain sufficient debt and/or equity capital; and/or (2) generate positive cash flow from operations.
Plan of Operation
Management is taking the following steps to sustain profitability and growth: (i) organic growth, new sales and expansion of services along the supply chain line; (ii) Utilization of our manufacturing foundry platform to support innovators by making investment in their technologies in return for manufacturing rights and equity; (iv) expansion of capabilities and competencies through mergers & acquisitions providing scale, cost synergies and revenue opportunities.
Our future success is likely dependent on its ability to sustain profitable growth and attain additional capital to support our future success is likely dependent on our ability to attain growth capital in order to sustain growth and 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.

The financial
Page 7 of 30
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 condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on April 1, 2013.
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.
Cash and cash equivalents consisted of the following as of:
| June 30, 2013 | December 31, 2012 |
Cash and bank balances | $ 340,072 | $ 19,260 |
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 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 June 30, 2013, we had a reserve for potentially un-collectable accounts of $59,000. Six (6) customers accounted for approximately 53% of accounts receivable at June 30, 2013 and one customer
Page 8 of 30
accounted for 15% and no other customer accounted for more than 13% 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 June 30, 2013, we had a reserve for potentially obsolete inventory of $185,000.
Inventories by major classification were comprised of the following as of:
| June 30, 2013 | December 31, 2012 |
Raw Material | $ 739,981 | $ 658,241 |
Work in Process | 135,339 | 156,175 |
Finished Goods | 10,486 | 5,426 |
Total | 885,806 | 816,561 |
Less reserve for excess or obsolete inventory | (185,000) | (190,000) |
Total Inventory | $ 700,806 | $ 629,841 |
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Assets held under capital leases are recorded at lease inception at the lower of the present value of the minimum lease payments or the fair market value of the related assets. The 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)
Property and equipment were comprised of the following at:
| June 30, 2013 | December 31, 2012 |
Furniture and Equipment | $ 2,089,445 | $ 2,055,778 |
Accumulated Depreciation | (1,940,665) | (1,924,193) |
Net Fixed Assets | $ 148,780 | $ 131,585 |
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.
Page 9 of 30
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.
The Company provides services for its customers that range from contract design to original product design to repair services. The Company recognizes service revenue when the services have been performed, and the related costs are expensed as incurred.
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.
Research and Development
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 six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.
Segment Disclosure
FASB Codification Topic 280, Segment Reporting, establishes standards for reporting financial and descriptive information about an enterprises reportable segments. We have determined that we have one reportable segment, with contract electronics manufacturing. As such, our operations have been aggregated into one reportable segment for all periods presented.
Acquisition of Trident Manufacturing
On March 15, 2013, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Acquisition with Trident Manufacturing, Inc., a Utah corporation, (Trident), and the shareholders of Trident, to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock shares of Trident. Trident is a full-service electronics manufacturing service company with a 16,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility based in Salt Lake City, Utah and has been servicing the industrial, aerospace, military, instrumentation, and medical markets since 2005.
On March 20, 2013, we completed the acquisition of Trident whereby we acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock shares of Trident and all its operational assets in exchange for 1,600,000 shares of our restricted shares of common stock. As a result of the acquisition, Trident has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Probe Manufacturing, Inc. As a result we recognized $420,673 in goodwill.

3. 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.

4. 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 June 30, 2013, we had outstanding common stock shares of 23,251,945 used in the calculation of basic earnings per share. Basic Weighted average common stock shares and equivalents for the six months ended June 30, 2013, were 21,025,790. As of June 30, 2013, we had outstanding warrants to purchase 800,000 additional common stock shares, options to purchase 110,386 additional common stock shares and common stock shares to be issued of 2,000,000, which may dilute future earnings per share, however, these were excluded from the calculation of fully diluted earnings per share, as they were anti dilutive in effect.

5. 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 June 30, 2013, we had a net operating loss carry forward of $(585,667) and a deferred tax asset of $199,195 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 $199,195.

Stock Repurchase Program
On November 1, 2011, the Company adopted a plan to repurchase up to 5,000,000 shares of its issued and outstanding common stock in accordance with the guidelines specified in Rule 10b-18 and Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
The plan allows the Company to purchase its issued and outstanding common shares in the open market or in negotiated transactions, from time to time, depending on market conditions and other factors as well as being subject to relevant rules under Untied States securities regulations. The plan does not obligate the Company to make any purchases, at any specific time or in any particular situation. The plan may be suspended or discontinued at any time at the sole discretion of the Company. Share repurchases will be funded with the Company's available cash, after determining the working capital requirements of the Company. Accordingly, there is no guarantee as to the exact number of shares that will be repurchased under the plan.
The company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase plan because it believes recent market conditions may have caused the Company's common stock to be undervalued. The timing and number of any shares repurchased will depend on the terms and conditions of the plan and no assurance can be given that any specific amount of common stock will be repurchased.
As of June 30, 2013, we had repurchased 21,100 shares of our common stock.

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. (the Company, Probe, or PMI). We provide global design and manufacturing services to original electronic equipment manufacturers (OEM) from our 23,000 sq-ft facility in Irvine, California and Trident Manufacturings 16,000 sq-ft facility in Salt Lake City, Utah, which we acquired in the first quarter of 2013. Our revenue is generated from sales of our services primarily to customers in the medical device,
Page 19 of 30
aerospace/military, telecommunication, alternative fuel, industrial and instrumentation product manufacturers. We provide our domestic customers with low cost, flexible and scalable manufacturing services. We utilize innovative manufacturing solutions, automated management systems and global sourcing strategies to provide our customers with onshore, scalable manufacturing solutions. 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 printed circuit board assembly, cable assembly, mechanical assembly, and fully integrated box build systems for high complexity electronics.
The majority of our revenue is driven from manufacturing a mix of complex printed circuit board assemblies (PCB), and box build assemblies. Some examples of our customers finished goods products includes Ultrasound Therapeutic medical devices, electronic control units that help vehicles run on natural gas or hydrogen, electronic control units for precision laser welding equipment, PCBs for landing gear systems and flap controllers, fluid control units for airliners, and devices for defense industry.
Our strategy is to build and pursue global opportunities leveraging core competencies and to expand our manufacturing foundry platform for innovative start-ups and technology companies in return for manufacturing rights and equity.
As innovation, cost, and time to market become hyper-competitive, domestic OEMs are now compelled to use EMS partners with easy onshore access, providing local program management during product conceptualization, development, and integration. Many of the mid-tier OEMs in industries such as military/aerospace, medical, industrial/instrumentation, and green-tech products tend to be too small for $1 billion-plus revenue EMS companies. Most of these OEMs value close proximity and the ability to provide complex manufacturing and personal customer service, which often favors regional providers that truly value and foster their relationships.
Furthermore, with the recent cost increases in labor, currency movements and freight concerns, the ability to also provide near-shore manufacturing is expected to generate increased interest. The low to medium EMS market compared to high volume has proved to be a higher margin with higher gross profits and sustained growth momentum. Our target accounts are mid-tier, U.S. based OEMs with annual sales from $15 million to $500 million.
We believe that the combination of: (i) our management expertise; (ii) low overhead and cost structure; (iii) sophisticated management system developed internally to oversee operational systems; (iv) innovative manufacturing solutions and now multiple domestic facilities; and (v) global sourcing solutions and domestic customer centric program management team, PMI is well positioned to take advantage of the projected increase in outsourced onshore manufacturing.

GOING CONCERN
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company had a total stockholders equity of $791,604 and a working capital surplus of $182,128; however, we still had net loss of $(231,012) for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and an accumulated deficit of $(867,268) as of June 30, 2013. Therefore, the ability of the Company to operate as a going concern is still dependent upon its ability to: (1) obtain sufficient debt and/or equity capital; and/or (2) generate positive cash flow from operations.
Our operating results are affected by a number of factors, including the following:
· changes in the macro-economic environment and related changes in consumer demand;
· the mix of the manufacturing services we are providing, the number and size of new manufacturing programs, the degree to which we utilize our manufacturing capacity, seasonal demand, shortages of components and other factors;
· the effects on our business when our customers are not successful in marketing their products, or when their products do not gain widespread commercial acceptance;
· our components offerings which have required that we make substantial investments in the resources necessary to design and develop these products;
· our ability to achieve commercially viable production yields and to manufacture components in commercial quantities to the performance specifications demanded by our OEM customers;
· our customers’ ability to cancel or delay orders or change production quantities;
· our customers’ decision to choose internal manufacturing instead of outsourcing for their product requirements;
· our exposure to financially troubled customers; and
· integration of acquired businesses and facilities.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions.

Net Sales
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, we had a net sales of $1,735,995, compared to net sales of $2,889,153 for the same period in 2012.
Our top five customers accounted for approximately 62% of our net sales for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, compared to 61%, for the same period in 2012. 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
Gross profit is affected by a number of factors, including the number and size of new manufacturing programs, product mix, component costs and availability, product life cycles, unit volumes, pricing, competition, new product introductions, capacity utilization and the expansion and consolidation of manufacturing facilities. The flexible design of our manufacturing processes allows us to build a broad range of products in our facilities, which allows us to better utilize our manufacturing capacity. In the cases of new programs, profitability normally lags revenue growth due to product start-up costs, lower manufacturing program volumes in the start-up phase, operational inefficiencies, and under-absorbed overhead. Gross margin often improves over time as manufacturing program volumes increase, as our utilization rates and overhead absorption improves, and as we increase the level of vertically-integrated manufacturing services content. As a result of these various factors, our gross margin varies from period to period.
Page 23 of 30
Gross profit during the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 was $549,164 at 32% of sales compared to $824,505 at 29% of sales for the same period in 2012, mainly attributable primarily to the more favorable product mix.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) amounted to $731,162 during the three-month period ended June 30, 2013, compared to 629,663 for the same period in 2012 mainly due to the investment in our new certification programs and technical personnel.
Interest Expense
For the six month period ended June 30, 2013, our interest expense was $102,667, compared to $97,601 for the same period in 2012; this was due to the interest generated from our accounts receivable financing line referenced in Note 7 of the notes in this document.

Accounts Receivable Financing
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 90days 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 therefore, 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.
Series D Preferred Stock Offering

RISKS ABOUT OUR BUSINESS
Page 27 of 30
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. The Company had a total stockholders equity of $791,604 and a working capital surplus of $182,128; however, we still had net loss of $(231,012) for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and an accumulated deficit of $(867,268) as of June 30, 2013. Therefore, the ability of the Company to operate as a going concern is still dependent upon its ability to: (1) obtain sufficient debt and/or equity capital; and/or (2) 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 June 30, 2013, we had current liabilities of $1,459,137. As a result, 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.
Furthermore, On August 7, 2013, we held our initial closing of our Series D Preferred Stock private financing offering with two related parties, whereby we received $750,000 in financing, $500,000 of which was received in a first tranche on June 17, 2013. Our Series D Preferred Stock offering terms allow us to raise up to $1,000,000 US with an over-allotment of $500,000 in multiple closings over the course of 6 months. The Series D Preferred holders will be paid a special monthly divided at the rate of 17.5% per annum or at the option of the Investor such special may accrue such special dividends. If the Company does not pay the special dividend within five (5) business days from the end of the calendar month for which the payment of such dividend to owed, the Company will pay the investor a penalty of 3.5%.
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 or dividend payments to our Series D Preferred stockholder we will be in default which will have a material adverse impact on our business and working capital.
