PART I

Item 1. Business

Corporate Overview

CUI Global, Inc., formerly known as Waytronx, Inc., is a Colorado corporation organized on April 21, 1998. The Company’s principal place of business is located at 20050 SW 112th Avenue, Tualatin, Oregon 97062, phone (503) 612-2300. CUI Global is a platform company dedicated to maximizing shareholder value through the acquisition, development and commercialization of new, innovative technologies. Through its subsidiaries, CUI Global has built a diversified portfolio of industry leading technologies that touch many markets.

CUI, Inc. - Subsidiary

Effective May 16, 2008, CUI Global, Inc. formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Waytronx Holdings, Inc., to acquire the assets of CUI, Inc., a Tualatin, Oregon based provider of electronic components including power supplies, transformers, converters, connectors and industrial controls for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). Through the acquisition of CUI, Inc., the Company obtained 352,589 common shares (representing a 11.544% and 10.47% interest at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively) in Test Products International, Inc., a provider of handheld test and measurement equipment. Since its inception in 1989, CUI has been delivering quality products, extensive application solutions and superior personal service. CUI's solid customer commitment and honest corporate message are a hallmark in the industry. The Company does not expect any organizational changes to CUI’s operations.

The consideration for the CUI, Inc. asset purchase transaction included two promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of thirty one million five hundred thousand dollars ($31,500,000). In May 2009, CUI Global and the holder of the $17,500,000 convertible promissory note, IED, Inc., agreed to amend the convertible promissory note by reducing the conversion rate from $0.25 to $0.07 per share to reflect the stock price for the ten day trailing average preceding April 24, 2009, the date of the agreement. The agreement specifically retains the total maximum convertible shares at 70,000,000 as stated in the original Note. This amendment effectively reduced the Note principal from $17,500,000 to $4,900,000. On April 1, 2010, the Company settled the $4,900,000 convertible promissory note and $850,500 in accrued interest on this note related to the acquisition of CUI Inc. for a one-time payment of $50,000 and the conversion of $70,000 of the principal into 1,000,000 shares of the company’s common stock at the stated conversion rate of $0.07 per share. Effective September 1, 2010, the Company and the holder of the $14,000,000 promissory note, IED, Inc., agreed to reduce the note principal by $1,588,063 and to restructure the interest rate and payment terms. With this amendment, the Company agreed to pay $1,200,000 of the principal balance during the fourth quarter of 2010 and an additional $487,208 of the principal balance during the first quarter of 2011. The new terms set the interest rate at 6% per annum with monthly interest payments of $51,545 and a May 15, 2018 balloon payment.

Through CUI’s capabilities and extensive contacts throughout Asia, this acquisition allows CUI Global to continue to identify, acquire and commercialize new proprietary technologies. CUI Global will use CUI’s market partners and global distribution capabilities to bring other products to market, including the Digital Power Modules, GASPT2 and other proprietary devices, described below. CUI’s testing and R&D capabilities allow CUI Global to commercialize and prototype its products more efficiently and economically.

CUI defines its product into three categories: components including connectors, speakers and buzzers; control solutions including encoders and sensors; and power solutions known as V-Infinity. These offerings provide a technology architecture that addresses power and related accessories to industries ranging from consumer electronics to defense and alternative energy.

Digital POL Modules

CUI’s power division, V-Infinity, has developed a line of digital point-of-load (POL) modules that will utilize digital power-conversion ICs. The new Novum series is focused on providing complete, easy-to-use solutions to make digital power accessible to a wide array of users. The modules will combine high power density in a compact footprint and offer a wide array of digital control and power management functions. Initially, it will utilize Powervation’s patented Auto-control™ technology which will allow the new modules to work in real time ensuring stability and improved transient response. A wide array of digital power control functions will be supported including current monitoring, temp sensing, margining and voltage sequencing. The primary market is in the networking and communication space with customers that deploy an intermediate bus architecture. These companies have large scale power platform needs that the digital modules address. Though the design cycles are long, ranging anywhere from 18-48 months, the business once designed in, is stable and long-term.

Digital Power Patent License Agreement with Power-One, Inc.

CUI entered into a non-exclusive Field of Use Agreement with Power-One, Inc. (NASDAQ: PWER) to license Power-One’s Digital Power Technology patents. The license provides access to Power-One’s portfolio of Digital Power Technology patents for incorporation into CUI’s new line of digital point of load power modules. CUI, through its power division, manufactures a range of embedded and external power electronics devices for OEM manufacturers.

BPS-5 Topology License with California Power Research

CUI entered into an exclusive Field of Use Agreement with California Power Research to license their BPS-5 topology. It is now being marketed as the Solus Topology. This topology provides industry leading efficiencies and densities in power design. The topology is broadly applicable to both DC-DC and AC-DC products. This will allow for CUI to have a long roadmap of industry leading products to service its broad customer base. In addition, its first target is the Intermediate Bus Architecture (IBA) where the Digital POL modules are used.

GASPT2 Product

Through an exclusive licensing contract with GL Industrial Services UK, Ltd. (GL), formerly British-based Advantica, Ltd., CUI Global owns exclusive rights to manufacture, sell, and distribute a Gas Quality Inferential Measurement Device (GASPT2) designed by GL on a worldwide basis.

The GASPT2, designed by GL, is a low cost solution to measuring gas quality. It can be connected to a natural gas system to provide a fast, accurate, close to real time measurement of the gas physical properties, such as thermal conductivity, speed of sound and carbon dioxide content. From these measurements it infers an effective gas mixture comprising four components: methane, propane, nitrogen, and measured carbon dioxide and then uses ISO6976 to calculate the gas quality characteristics of calorific value (CV), Wobbe index (WI), relative density (RD), and compression factor (Z). Through Bluetooth Technology, this information can be provided to a remote, centralized monitoring facility. This licensing contract anticipates between $35,000,000 and $40,000,000 in sales during the first four years of the agreement. According to our review, the market studies commissioned by GL and GL's experience in the natural gas industry all demonstrate that these contract numbers are conservative and achievable.

The Company has reached agreements with several European and US companies to place Beta Test Units for both laboratory and in-field testing. Those test programs should begin in Third Quarter 2011 and will last between 90 and 180 days.

ISO 9001:2008 Certification

CUI, Inc. is certified to the ISO 9001:2008 Quality Management Systems standards and guidelines. CUI is registered as conforming to the requirements of standard: ISO 9001:2008, The Quality Management System is applicable to Design, Development and Distribution of electro-mechanical components for OEM manufacturing. ISO 9001 is accepted worldwide as the inclusive international standard that defines quality.

The certification of compliance with ISO 9001:2008 recognizes that our policies, practices and procedures ensure consistent quality in the design services, technology and products we provide our customers.

Comex Electronics and CUI Japan - Subsidiaries

Effective July 1, 2009, CUI Global acquired CUI Japan (formerly Comex Instruments, Ltd.) and 49% of Comex Electronics Ltd. that includes an associated distribution network. Both companies are Japanese based DSP providers of digital to analog and analog to digital test and measurement systems and electronic components for OEM research and development. These acquisitions provide a manufacturing component which allows CUI Global to manufacture some of its own products, such as the AMT encoder in Japan.

Impact of Japan Earthquake and Tsunami of 2011

CUI Global, Inc. has no reports of injured or missing employees and its Japanese facilities remain intact and undamaged. CUI Global is analyzing the broader effects on its industries and its business. While Comex and its Japanese operations are a relatively small component of CUI Global, Inc.’s total revenue, Japan is a large supplier to the global market for semiconductors and other components. The electronics industry, as well as many other industries, source components from Japan. It is most likely that the events in Japan will affect the supply of components, but it is too early to say to what extent. Business continuity plans and work to assess the impact, if any, on CUI Global, Inc. and mitigation activities has been ongoing since the event took place. We will continue to closely monitor the situation in Japan to take further action where necessary. It is, however, too early to draw any further conclusions as the situation is still developing.

WayCool/WayFast

While we continue to believe in the value and viability of the WayCool/WayFast technology and related patent portfolio, we have yet to hear back from our submission to DARPA. Moreover, a thorough analysis of the WayCool/WayFast Technology reveals that development will consume significant additional monies and as much as two to three years of development. Taking those facts into account, the Company has made the decision to postpone any further development of the technology while it continues to seek other options for commercializing this technology, including continuing its relationship with Innovaro. The Company recorded impairment charges of $3,105,956 on the technology rights and $418,185 on patents associated with the WayCool/WayFast technology.

Research and Development Activities

Research and development costs for CUI Global were $740,396 for the year ended December 31, 2010 and $56,042 for the same period during 2009. Research and development costs are related to the various technologies for which CUI Global has acquired licensing rights or is developing internally. The increase is primarily the result of an increase in expenditures towards the development of the GasPT2, Novum Advanced Power technologies, AMT Capacitive Encoders and DSP technologies. The Company expects that research and development expenses will increase during 2011 as the Company continues to expand its product offering and technologies due to market acceptance and customer integration.

Employees

As of December 31, 2010, the Company, together with its consolidating subsidiaries, had eighty-three full-time and three part-time employees. None of its employees is represented by a labor union. The Company considers its relations with its employees to be good. The Company plans to add additional staff as needed to handle all phases of its business.

Intellectual Property

The following describes the evolution of the license and ownership of our thermal management technology patents:

On January 10, 2005 and February 16, 2005, the inventor/owner of the WayCool and WayFast technology patents conveyed ownership of the patents to CH Capital, a California general partnership controlled by Bradley J. Hallock, currently a shareholder, Corporate Secretary and William Clough, currently a shareholder, President/CEO and director.

On March 24, 2006, CH Capital assigned to the Company all right, title and interest to the WayCool patent and on May 2, 2008 CH Capital assigned to the Company all right, title and interest in the WayFast patent. WayFast is a next generation developmental application of WayCool. These assignments have been recorded and are a matter of record with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The Company owns all right, title and interest of the WayCool and WayFast patents.

The following describes the evolution of the license relating to the AMT encoder technology:

Upon the acquisition of CUI, Inc., the Company obtained the relationship with the holder of the AMT encoder technology. Through an exclusive licensing contract with Andermotion Technologies LLC, signed on or about April 20, 2009, CUI acquired exclusive rights to manufacture, sell and distribute motion control devices utilizing the AMT encoder technology.

The following describes the evolution of the license relating to the Digital POL technology:

Through a non-exclusive licensing agreement with Power-One, Inc., signed on or about September 18, 2009, CUI has access to Power-One’s portfolio of Digital Power Technology patents for incorporation into CUI’s new line of digital point of load (POL) power modules.

The following describes the evolution of the license relating to the BPS-5 advanced power topology technology:

Through an exclusive licensing contract with California Power Research, Inc., signed on or about March 4, 2010, CUI acquired the exclusive rights to manufacture, market, sell, lease, maintain, give over, and dispose of licensed product using the BPS-5 advanced power topology technology.

The following describes the evolution of the license relating to the GasPT2 technology:

Through an exclusive licensing contract with GL Industrial Services UK, Ltd. (GL), formerly British-based Advantica, Ltd., signed on or about January 4, 2010, CUI Global acquired exclusive rights to manufacture, sell and distribute a Gas Quality Inferential Measurement Device (GASPT2) designed by GL on a worldwide basis.

Intellectual Property Protection

The Company relies on various intellectual property laws and contractual restrictions to protect its proprietary rights in products and services. These include confidentiality, invention assignment and nondisclosure agreements with its employees, contractors, suppliers and strategic partners. The confidentiality and nondisclosure agreements with employees, contractors and suppliers are in perpetuity or for a sufficient length of time so as to not threaten exposure of proprietary information. The Company retained Banner & Witcoff, Ltd. and Law Offices of William W. Haefliger to manage its current interests relative to the prosecution of the national and international patents. The Company intends to pursue the registration of our trademarks and service marks in the United States and internationally.

September 12, 2006, December 5, 2006 and August 25, 2009 the United States Patent and Trademark Office issued patents to the Company relating to the basic mesh design and methods that underlie the cooling and the LED technologies.

May 22, 2007, October 6, 2009 and April 13, 2010 the United States Patent and Trademark Office issued patents to the Company relating to the WayCool heat transfer meshes and the communication systems incorporating the control meshes, WayFast.

February 10, 2006 and October 4, 2006 the United States Patent and Trademark Office issued patents to the Company relating to the aerodynamic lighted display panel airfoil design and the LED assembly with vented circuit board.

The Company has pending various United States and Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) applications pertaining to cooling systems relating to heat transfer meshes, method and apparatus for leak-proof mounting of a liquid cooling device on an integrated circuit, carbon-based waterblock with attached heat-exchanger, method and apparatus for cooling of solar power cells, sealed self-contained fluid cooling device and other relating to the product lines of the Company.

Under the Trademark Act of 1946, as amended, the United States Patent and Trademark Office permitted our registration of the following trademarks: RediAlert, Rapid Dispatch Emergency Signs, RediAd, Living Window, OnScreen Technology, CUI INC, CUI Europe, V-Infinity, AMT, Novum and Simple Digital. The following trademark applications filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office are pending: WayCool, WayCoolant, WayFast, Waytronx and CUI Global.

The Company continuously reviews and updates the existing patent and trademark filings and files new documentation both nationally and internationally (Patent Cooperation Treaty) in a continuing effort to maintain up to date patent and trademark protection of its intellectual property.

For those applications pending, there is no assurance that the patents and trademark registrations will be granted. Furthermore, the Company is exposed to the risk that other parties may claim the Company infringes their existing patent and trademark rights, which could result in the Company’s inability to develop and market its products unless the Company enters into licensing agreements with the technology owner or could force the Company to engage in costly and potentially protracted litigation.

Competitive Business Conditions

The industries in which the company competes are very broad. We operate a commoditized electromechanical parts distribution business that is focused on efficiency of delivery and competitiveness of pricing to differentiate our products from competitors. The market is subject to some volatility due to production requirements of large global firms.

Our electromechanical parts distribution business is diverse and broad. We have a very strong retail distribution partner that maximizes our product exposure to new designs and small to medium sized customers. We focus on the OEM market and supply higher levels of support, customer service, and a constantly expanding product line, in order to further differentiate with our competitors. This product line ranges from a $.02 connector to a $700 encoder – all different products for different customers. Additionally, we utilize third party external sales representative organizations to penetrate new and better customers otherwise not readily available to the company.

CUI is becoming more recognized in the power supply market and have differentiated ourselves through technology with a foundation of legacy and product quality. Currently, our internal and external power supply sales and component sales account for in excess of 75% of our gross sales notwithstanding our current power supply product line sales in a market that values a competitive price over the most current technology. We have added new products and technologies that will allow us to compete outside of price and more on innovative technology and strategic partnerships.

From the first full featured digital point-of-load dc-dc converter, to the highly dense intermediate bus converters that CUI is releasing, we believe that we are ahead of the market leaders in our market space and that the market is ready for new technologies and new ideas. We feel that there is a market shift to a digitally-based controller for power supply switching. It is our strategy that this will be a complete transformation for the industry as it will become a major part of the value sell to the end customer as well as a data collection point for energy consumption, two important elements for the industry.

Dependence on Few Major Customers

During 2010, 50% of revenues were derived from five customers: 40%, 3%, 3%, 2% and 2%. During 2009, 42% of revenues were derived from five customers at 31%, 4%, 3%, 2% and 2%.

The Company’s major product lines in 2010 and 2009 were external power, internal power, electro-mechanical and DSP based digital to analog and analog to digital test & measurement systems.

At December 31, 2010, of the gross trade accounts receivable totaling $4,851,200, 48% was due from eight customers: 23%, 8%, 3%, 3%, 3%, 3%, 3%, and 2%. At December 31, 2009, of the gross trade accounts receivable totaling $4,808,382, 14% was due from one customer.

Philanthropic Philosophy

In an industry first, CUI has chosen that, in addition to sales commission, sales representative firms will also receive a charity commission to be donated to charities of their choice. One of CUI’s core values is generosity which includes philanthropic giving. We give in our local community and we want to also give in the communities in which we do business. This program will allow us to give more than $50,000 in 2011 to communities outside of our own.

The holders of Common Stock and Series A and Series C Convertible Preferred are entitled to one vote per share and holders of Series B Convertible Preferred shares are entitled to one thousand votes per share for all purposes and do not have cumulative voting rights.

Holders of the Company’s Common Stock do not have any pre-emptive or other rights to subscribe for or purchase additional shares of capital stock, no conversion rights, redemption or sinking-fund provisions.

The Company has not paid any dividends on its common stock since inception and expects to continue to retain all earnings generated by its operations for the development and growth of its business and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends to its common shareholders in the foreseeable future. The payment of future dividends on the common stock and the rate of such dividends, if any, will be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors in light of its earnings, financial condition, capital requirements and other factors.

Important Note about Forward-Looking Statements

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements as of December 31, 2010 and un-audited 10-Q filings for the first three quarters of 2010 and the notes thereto, all of which are included elsewhere in this Form 10-K. In addition to historical information, the following discussion and other parts of this Form 10-K contain forward-looking information that involves risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by such forward-looking information due to factors discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

The statements that are not historical constitute "forward-looking statements". Said forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements, express or implied by such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are identified by their use of such terms and phrases as "expects", "intends", "goals", "estimates", "projects", "plans", "anticipates", "should", "future", "believes", and "scheduled".

The variables which may cause differences include, but are not limited to, the following: general economic and business conditions; competition; success of operating initiatives; operating costs; advertising and promotional efforts; the existence or absence of adverse publicity; changes in business strategy or development plans; the ability to retain management; availability, terms and deployment of capital; business abilities and judgment of personnel; availability of qualified personnel; labor and employment benefit costs; availability and costs of raw materials and supplies; and changes in, or failure to comply with various government regulations.

Losses from Operations; Accumulated Deficit; Negative Net worth and Going Concern.

Historically, the Company has not generated sufficient revenues from operations to self-fund its capital and operating requirements. These factors raise substantial doubt concerning its ability to continue as a going concern. However, following the acquisition of CUI, Inc. and subsequent reductions of debt, the company is generating significant revenues that it expects will provide the Company with the ability to self-fund its capital and operating requirements. If that is not possible, the Company will seek additional working capital from funding that will primarily include equity and debt placements.

Restatement of Prior Periods Financial Statements

The Company previously recorded extinguishments of debt as settlement gains subsequent to performing a thorough analysis of the relevant guidance. Upon review by the SEC, it was determined that the Company should reclassify these extinguishments of debt as additional paid in capital and not as settlement gains as a result of the determination that a related party was involved. For further details regarding the restatement, see Note 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Restatement of Prior Periods Financial Statements.

Overview

CUI Global, Inc. is dedicated to maximizing shareholder value through the acquisition, development and commercialization of innovative companies and technologies. From its GasPT2 platform targeting the energy sector, to its subsidiary CUI, Inc.'s industry leading digital power platform targeting the networking and telecom industries, CUI Global has built a diversified portfolio of industry leading technologies that touch many markets.

In May 2008, CUI Global formed a wholly owned subsidiary that acquired the assets of CUI, Inc., a technology company dedicated to the development, commercialization, and distribution of new, innovative electro-mechanical products. Over the past 20 years, CUI has become a recognized name in electronic components worldwide in the areas of power, interconnect, motion control, and sound. In that time, the company has been able to leverage many long-standing relationships in Asia to create a flexible, responsive business model that ultimately benefits CUI customers. Today, its industry leading technology platforms which include Novum Advanced Power and AMT Capacitive Encoders are quickly positioning CUI, Inc. as a global leader in the fields of power electronics and motion control. Through the acquisition of CUI, Inc. the Company obtained 352,589 common shares representing an 11.544% interest in Test Products International, Inc., a provider of handheld test and measurement equipment.

Effective July 1, 2009, CUI Global acquired CUI Japan (formerly Comex Instruments Ltd.) and 49% of Comex Electronics Ltd. Both CUI Japan and Comex are Japanese based providers of DSP-based hardware and software that specializes in digital to analog and analog to digital test and measurement equipment. CUI Japan and Comex focus on applications that demand high speed multiple channel measurement. The product line ranges from 8 channel to 1032 channel systems. Comex works primarily with research labs, universities, and large companies in Japan to create its custom solutions. Additionally, the Comex acquisition provides a manufacturing component which allows CUI Global to manufacture some of its own products, such as the AMT encoder, in Japan.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that have a significant impact on the results the Company will report in the Company's financial statements. Some of the Company's accounting policies require the Company to make difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Asset Impairment

Valuation of Non-Cash Capital Stock Issuances

The Company values its stock transactions based upon the fair value of the equity instruments. Various methods can be used to determine the fair value of the equity instrument. The Company may use the fair value of the consideration received, the quoted market price of the stock or a contemporaneous cash sale of the common or preferred stock. Each of these methods may produce a different result. Management uses the method it determines most appropriately reflects the stock transaction. If a different method was used it could impact the expense and equity stock accounts.

Patent Costs

The Company estimates the patent applications it has filed will have a future beneficial value to the Company; thus, it capitalizes the costs associated with filing for its patents. At the time the patent is issued, the patent costs associated with the patent are amortized over the useful life of the patent. If the patent is not issued, at that time the costs will be expensed. A change in the estimate of the patent having a future beneficial value to the Company will impact the other assets and expense accounts of the Company.

Revenue Recognition

The recognition of the Company’s revenues requires judgment, including whether a sale includes multiple elements and, if so, whether vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) of fair value exists for those elements. Customers may receive certain elements of our products over a period of time. These elements could include licensing rights to manufacture and sell our proprietary patent protected products. The ability to identify VSOE for those elements and the fair value of the respective elements could materially impact the amount of earned and unearned revenue. The Company does not have any history as to the costs expected to be incurred in granting licensing rights relating to its products. Therefore, revenues may be recorded that are not in proportion to the costs expected to be incurred in performing these services.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance at December 31, 2010 are $612,275 and a net working capital deficit at December 31, 2010 of $675,936. During the year ended December 31, 2010, operations and investment activities have been funded through cash from operations, proceeds from equity financings and borrowings from financial institutions.

The terms of acquisition have been amended to allow CUI Global to acquire the remaining 51% at anytime during the five years following the initial acquisition.

Recap of liquidity and capital resources

The report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our financial statements as of December 31, 2010 contains an explanatory paragraph expressing uncertainty with respect to our ability to continue as a going concern. Prior to the acquisition of CUI, Inc. and the settlements of debt in 2009 and 2010, the Company was not generating significant revenues to fund operations. Management believes the Company to be generating sufficient revenues to fund operations. As of December 31, 2010 the Company had an accumulated deficit of $73,596,738.

The Company may seek to raise additional capital for the continued development and commercialization of its various technology product lines. The Company believes its operations and existing financing structure will provide sufficient cash to meet its short term working capital requirements for the next twelve months. As the Company continues to expand and develop its technology and product lines as well as retire debt, additional funding sources may be required. The Company will attempt to raise these funds through borrowing instruments or issuing additional equity.

As of December 31, 2010 CUI, Inc. maintained a revolving working capital line of credit with the Business Credit division of Wells Fargo Capital Finance, part of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (NYSE: WFC), granting borrowings of up to $4,000,000 with interest payable monthly at the Daily Three Month LIBOR plus 3.75% (4.05% at December 31, 2010). At December 31, 2010, the Company is in compliance with all covenants related to this loan.

The Company expects revenues to help cover the operating and other expenses. If revenues are not sufficient to cover all operating and other expenses, additional funding will be required. There is no assurance the Company will be able to raise such additional capital. The failure to raise additional capital or generate product sales in the expected time frame will have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2010 we have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Results of Operations

The accompanying financial statements reflect the operations of the Company for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

Revenue

During the year ended 2010, revenue was $40,932,888 and $28,851,750 for the same period during 2009. The revenue for the year ended December 31, 2010 is comprised of $37,309,998 from CUI products, $3,549,742 from CUI Japan and Comex Electronics products, $72,378 for freight and $770 from RediAlert™ products. For the year ended December 31, 2009, revenue was comprised of $26,145,223 from CUI products, $2,575,902 from CUI Japan and Comex Electronics products, $103,733 from freight, and $26,892 from RediAlert™ products.

During 2010, 50% of revenues were derived from five customers: 40%, 3%, 3%, 2% and 2%. During 2009, 42% of revenues were derived from five customers at 31%, 4%, 3%, 2% and 2%.

Cost of revenue

The cost of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $25,699,712 and $18,191,840, respectively. The significant increase during 2010 compared to the prior year is primarily the result of the overall growth in sales which includes full year results from CUI Japan and Comex Electronics. The year ended December 31, 2009 included a partial year of CUI Japan and Comex Electronics and their related operations as those acquisitions were completed July 1, 2009. As a percentage of sales, the cost of revenue remained consistent at 63% for both the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) expenses includes such items as wages, consulting, general office expenses, business promotion expenses and costs of being a public company including legal and accounting fees, insurance and investor relations.

SG&A expenses increased to $13,269,741 for the year ended December 31, 2010 from $10,839,425 for the same period during 2009. This increase of $2,430,316 is primarily the result of the full year of operations from CUI Japan and Comex Electronics since acquisition in July 2009 and the overall growth of the business in relation to revenues. While the total dollar amount of SG&A expenses increased, as a percentage of sales the SG&A decreased to 32% in 2010 from 38% in 2009.

The Company anticipates its sales and marketing expenditures and general and administrative expenses will further increase in 2011 as the Company continues to grow its revenues and technology offerings.

Research and Development

The research and development costs are related to the various technologies for which CUI Global has acquired licensing rights or is developing internally. Research and development costs were $740,396 for the year ended December 31, 2010 and $56,042 for the same period during 2009. The increase is primarily the result of an increase in expenditures towards the development of the GasPT2, Novum Advanced Power, AMT Capacitive Encoders and DSP technologies. The Company expects that research and development expenses will increase during 2011 as the Company continues to expand its product offering and technologies.

Impairment Loss

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value and may not be recoverable. In performing the review for recoverability, the future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are estimated. If the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized as the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value. Otherwise, an impairment loss is not recognized. Management estimates the fair value and the estimated future cash flows expected. Any changes in these estimates could impact whether there was impairment and the amount of the impairment. During the year ended December 31, 2010 the Company recorded impairment charges of $3,105,956 related to technology rights and $418,185 related to patents. During the year ended December 31, 2009 the Company recorded impairment charges of $210,403 related to intangible, patent pending technology, $246,237 related to intangible, customer list, $10,241,529 related to goodwill and $136,811 related to patents.

Bad Debt

Bad debt expense decreased to $72,689 for the year ended December 31, 2010 from $144,834 for the same period ended 2009. The bad debt expense relates to miscellaneous customers.

Other Income

Other income for the year ended December 31, 2010, consisted of $95,771 from a cancelled insurance policy at Comex Electronics, $31,496 for foreign exchange gain, $24,630 for interest income, $20,090 of rental income, and $14,219 in other income. Other income for the year ended December 31, 2009, consisted of $103,500 for services billed to a related party, $54,543 for foreign exchange gain, $18,012 for interest income, $14,340 of rental income, and $3,670 in other income.

Investment Income

Change in value of warrant liability

During 2010 and 2009, there was no change in the value of warrant liability.

Non-cash interest expense, amortization of beneficial conversion value, amortization of debt offering costs, warrant related debt discounts, intrinsic value of convertible debt and amortization of warrant related debt discount

The Company recorded an expense of $3,859,342 during 2010 and $3,096,641 during 2009, for non-cash interest expenses, including amortization of beneficial conversion value, amortization of debt offering costs, warrant related debt discounts and intrinsic value of convertible debt and amortization of debt discount. The increase in this expense is primarily associated with the expensing of the remaining balance of the discount on convertible note payable for the $4,900,000 note that was settled in full during 2010.

Interest Expense

The Company incurred $1,215,530 and $1,552,419 of interest expense during 2010 and 2009, respectively. Interest expense is for interest on the secured convertible notes, secured and unsecured promissory notes, and bank working capital loans and term loans.

Consolidated Net Loss

The Company had a net loss of $7,460,516 for the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to a net loss of $16,043,547 for the prior year ended 2009. The decrease in the net loss as compared to the prior year is primarily the result of the following items: an increase in total revenues of $12,081,138 and related gross profits of $4,573,266, an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses of $2,430,316, an increase in research and development expenses of $684,354, a decrease in impairment charges total from $10,834,980 in 2009 to $3,524,141 in 2010, an increase in interest expense – intrinsic value of convertible debt, amortization of debt offering costs and amortization of debt discount of $762,701, a decrease in interest expense of $336,889.

Preferred Stock Dividends

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2009, the FASB issued an Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-13, which addresses the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vendors to account for products or services separately rather than as a combined unit and modifies the manner in which the transaction consideration is allocated across the separately identified deliverables. The ASU significantly expands the disclosure requirements for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. The ASU will be effective for the first annual reporting period beginning on or after June 15, 2010, and may be applied retrospectively for all periods presented or prospectively to arrangements entered into or materially modified after the adoption date. Early adoption is permitted, provided that the guidance is retroactively applied to the beginning of the year of adoption. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2009-13 to have any effect on its financial statements upon its required adoption on January 1, 2011. In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance to amend the disclosure requirements related to recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The guidance requires new disclosures on the transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 (quoted prices in active market for identical assets or liabilities) and Level 2 (significant other observable inputs) of the fair value measurement hierarchy, including the reasons and the timing of the transfers. Additionally, the guidance requires a roll forward of activities on purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements of the assets and liabilities measured using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 fair value measurements). The guidance became effective for the Company with the reporting period beginning January 1, 2010, except for the disclosure on the roll forward activities for Level 3 fair value measurements, which will become effective for the Company with the reporting period beginning July 1, 2011. Other than requiring additional disclosures, adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-9, which amends the Subsequent Events Topic of the Accounting Standards Codification to eliminate the requirement for public companies to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. The Company will continue to evaluate subsequent events through the date of the issuance of the financial statements; however, consistent with the guidance, this date will no longer be disclosed. ASU 2010-09 does not have any impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-13—Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades as codified in ASC 718—Compensation—Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). This update addresses the classification of a share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which the underlying equity security trades. ASC 718 is amended to clarify that a share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entity’s equity securities trades shall not be considered to contain a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, such an award is not to be classified as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity classification. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2010, and the Company is currently assessing the potential impact, if any, the adoption of this update may have on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Not applicable.

Item 9A(T) Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

The Company’s management, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based on that evaluation and review of the material weakness in our controls over financial reporting identified below, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that

information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms and such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external reporting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Management evaluates the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in “Internal Control –

Integrated Framework.” Management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, assessed the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010 and identified the following material weakness in internal control over financial reporting.

The material weakness pertains to controls relating to the valuation of inventory and capitalization of costs for our developed technology at our 49% owned subsidiary Comex Electronics, Ltd.

Management has concluded that the above control deficiency represents a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in a more than remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. As a result of the material weakness described above, management believes that, as of December 31, 2010, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective based on the criteria in Internal Control—Integrated Framework.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

There were no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Management has identified additional steps necessary to address the material weakness described above. These measures include the implementation of an enhanced financial software system for tracking inventory and capitalized costs as well as education of personnel regarding appropriate procedures and controls at our 49% owned subsidiary, Comex Electronics, Ltd. Management has begun implementation of these additional procedures and expects these material weaknesses to be resolved in 2011.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls.

The Company believes that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all controls issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. A copy of our Audit Committee Charter can be viewed on our website: www.cuiglobal.com.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Item 9B. Other Information

There are no matters to be reported under this Item.

PART III

Because CUI Global is a small entity, the Company is dependent on the efforts of a limited number of management personnel. The Company believes that because of the large amount of responsibility being placed on each member of its management team, the loss of services of any member of this team at the present time would harm its business. Each member of its management team supervises the operation and growth of one or more integral parts of its business.

Certain Provisions of the Articles of Incorporation and Colorado Business Corporation Act Relating to Indemnification of Directors and Officers

The Colorado General Corporation Act, as revised, provides that If so provided in the articles of incorporation, the corporation shall eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director to the corporation or to its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director; except that any such provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director to the corporation or to its shareholders for monetary damages for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or to its shareholders, acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, unlawful distributions, or any transaction from which the director directly or indirectly derived an improper personal benefit.

Our Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws provide that a person who is performing his or her duties shall not have any liability by reason of being or having been a director of the corporation and that the Company shall indemnify and advance expenses to a director or officer in connection with a proceeding to the fullest extent permitted or required by and in accordance with the indemnification sections of Colorado statutes.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities may be invoked to disclaim liability for damages arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act of 1934 (collectively, the "Acts"), as amended, it is the position of the Securities and Exchange Commission that such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Acts and are therefore, unenforceable.

Reports to Shareholders

We intend to voluntarily send annual reports to our shareholders, which will include audited financial statements. We are a reporting company and file reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including this Form 10-K as well as quarterly reports under Form 10-Q. The public may read and copy any materials filed with the SEC at the SEC's Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The company files its reports electronically and the SEC maintains an Internet site that contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information filed by the company with the SEC electronically. The address of that site is http://www.sec.gov.

The company also maintains an Internet site, which contains information about the company, news releases, governance documents and summary financial data. The address of that site is http://www.cuiglobal.com.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our executive officers, directors and persons owning more than 10% of our common stock to file reports of ownership and reports of changes of ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These reporting persons are required to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms that they file. Based solely upon a review of copies of these filings received, we believe that all filing requirements were complied with during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 with the exceptions noted below:

Late Form 4 reports were filed by William Clough, Colton Melby, Matthew McKenzie, Corey Lambrecht, Thomas Price and Sean Rooney to report their receipt of annual stock purchase bonus options authorized October 11, 2010.

Late Form 4 reports were filed on January 7, 2011 by William Clough, Daniel Ford and Matthew McKenzie to report stock option bonuses authorized October 11, 2010. The filings for Daniel Ford and Matthew McKenzie also included May 11, 2010 reports of common stock acquisition and disposal of derivative securities.

Late Form 4 report was filed on May 11, 2010 by Colton Melby to report a February 12, 2009 purchase of common shares and an acquisition of common shares through a warrant exercise on October 7, 2009.

We have made all officers and directors aware of their reporting obligations and have appointed an employee to oversee Section 16 compliance for future filings.

Our Corporate Governance Practices

We have always believed in strong and effective corporate governance procedures and practices. In that spirit, we have summarized several of our corporate governance practices below.

Adopting Governance Guidelines

Our board of directors has adopted a set of corporate governance guidelines to establish a framework within which it will conduct its business and to guide management in its running of our Company. The governance guidelines can be found on our website at www.cuiglobal.com and are summarized below.

Monitoring Board Effectiveness

It is important that our board of directors and its committees are performing effectively and in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders. The board of directors and each committee are responsible for annually assessing their effectiveness in fulfilling their obligations.

Conducting Formal Independent Director Sessions

At the conclusion of each regularly scheduled board meeting, the independent directors meet without our management or any non-independent directors.

Hiring Outside Advisors

The board and each of its committees may retain outside advisors and consultants of their choosing at our expense, without management's consent.

Providing Transparency

We believe that it is important that stockholders understand our governance practices. In order to help ensure transparency of our practices, we have posted information regarding our corporate governance procedures on our website at www.cuiglobal.com.

Stockholders may communicate with the board of directors by writing to the Company at CUI Global, Inc., 20050 SW 112th Avenue, Tualatin, Oregon 97062, phone (503) 612-2300. Stockholders who would like their submission directed to a member of the board may so specify, and the communication will be forwarded, as appropriate.

Ensuring Auditor Independence

We have taken a number of steps to ensure the continued independence of our independent registered public accounting firm. That firm reports directly to the Audit Committee, which also has the ability to pre-approve or reject any non-audit services proposed to be conducted by our independent registered public accounting firm.

Avoiding Conflicts of Interest

We expect our directors, executives and employees to conduct themselves with the highest degree of integrity, ethics and honesty. Our credibility and reputation depend upon the good judgment, ethical standards and personal integrity of each director, executive and employee. In order to provide assurances to the Company and its stockholders, we have implemented standards of business conduct which provide clear conflict of interest guidelines to its employees and directors, as well as an explanation of reporting and investigatory procedures.

Code of Ethics

The Company Board of Directors adopted a Code of Ethics for all of our employees, directors, principal executives and financial officers that describes the required conduct of honest and ethical behavior in the conduct of their duties. This code does not cover every issue that may arise, but sets out basic principles relating to conflict of interest, corporate opportunities, insider trading, confidentiality, protection and proper use of company assets, compliance with laws, rules and regulations, reporting of illegal or unethical behavior and accountability. The Code of Ethics is available for viewing on our website at www.cuiglobal.com. Copies of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics will be provided free of charge upon written request to CUI Global, Inc., 20050 SW 112th Avenue, Tualatin, Oregon 97062, phone (503) 612-2300 or on our website at www.cuiglobal.com.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee is established pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 for the purposes of overseeing the company’s accounts and financial reporting processes and audits of its financial statements. The Audit Committee is directly responsible for, among other things, the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of our independent Registered Public Accounting firm, review of financial reporting, internal company processes of business/financial risk and applicable legal, ethical and regulatory requirements.

The Audit Committee is currently comprised of Sean P. Rooney and Thomas A. Price. Both Mr. Rooney and Mr. Price are independent in accordance with applicable rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and NASDAQ listing standards. Mr. Rooney and Mr. Price have an understanding of generally accepted accounting principles and have experience preparing, auditing, analyzing or evaluating financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breath and complexity of issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by the financial statements of the Company, including our balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement. They have an understanding of internal controls and procedures for financial reporting and an understanding of audit committee functions as well as the ability to access the general application of such accounting principles in connection with the accounting for estimates, accruals and reserves. The Board of Directors has determined that Messers Rooney and Price are “audit committee financial experts” as defined in Section 401(h) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC under the Exchange Act. Our Audit Committee acts pursuant to a written charter, a copy of which is available from the Company and is posted on our website at www.cuiglobal.com. The Audit Committee has established a procedure to receive complaints regarding accounts, internal controls and auditing issues.

Audit Committee Report

The Audit Committee reviews the financial information that will be provided to the shareholders and others, the systems of internal controls established by management and the Board and the independence and performance of the Company’s audit process.

The Audit Committee has:

Reviewed and discussed with management the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report and Form 10-K;

Discussed with Webb & Company, P.A. the Company’s independent auditors, the matters required to be discussed by statement of Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended, as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board;

Received the written disclosures and letter from Webb & Company, P.A. as required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1; and

Discussed with Webb & Company, P.A. its independence.

Based on these reviews and discussions, the Audit Committee has recommended that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. The Audit Committee has also considered whether the amount and nature of non-audit services provided by Webb & Company, P.A. is compatible with the auditor’s independence.

Audit Committee

Nominating Committee

The nominating committee consists of all of the members of the Board of Directors four of whom are "independent directors" within the meaning of Rule 4200(a)(15) of the Nasdaq Stock Market. The nominating committee is responsible for the evaluation of nominees for election as director, the nomination of director candidates for election by the shareholders and evaluation of sitting directors. The Board has developed a formal policy for the identification or evaluation of nominees. In general, when the Board determines that expansion of the Board or replacement of a director is necessary or appropriate, the nominating committee will review, through candidate interviews with members of the Board and management, consultation with the candidate's associates and through other means, a candidate's honesty, integrity, reputation in and commitment to the community, judgment, personality and thinking style, willingness to invest in the Company, residence, willingness to devote the necessary time, potential conflicts of interest, independence, understanding of financial statements and issues, and the willingness and ability to engage in meaningful and constructive discussion regarding Company issues. The committee would review any special expertise, for example, that qualifies a person as an audit committee financial expert, membership or influence in a particular geographic or business target market, or other relevant business experience. To date the Company has not paid any fee to any third party to identify or evaluate, or to assist it in identifying or evaluating, potential director candidates.

The nominating committee will consider director candidates nominated by shareholders during such times as the Company is actively considering obtaining new directors. Candidates recommended by shareholders will be evaluated based on the same criteria described above. Shareholders desiring to suggest a candidate for consideration should send a letter to the Company's Secretary and include: (a) a statement that the writer is a shareholder (providing evidence if the person's shares are held in street name) and is proposing a candidate for consideration; (b) the name and contact information for the candidate; (c) a statement of the candidate's business and educational experience; (d) information regarding the candidate's qualifications to be director, including but not limited to an evaluation of the factors discussed above which the Board would consider in evaluating a candidate; (e) information regarding any relationship or understanding between the proposing shareholder and the candidate; (f) information regarding potential conflicts of interest; and (g) a statement that the candidate is willing to be considered and willing to serve as director if nominated and elected. Because of the small size of the Company and the limited need to seek additional directors, there is no assurance that all shareholder proposed candidates will be fully considered, that all candidates will be considered equally, or that the proponent of any candidate or the proposed candidate will be contacted by the Company or the Board, and no undertaking to do so is implied by the willingness to consider candidates proposed by shareholders.

Item 11. Executive Compensation

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Compensation Committee Members

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors is appointed by the Board of Directors to discharge the Board's responsibilities with respect to all forms of compensation of the Company's executive officers, to administer the Company's equity incentive plans, and to produce an annual report on executive compensation for use in the Company's Form 10-K. The Compensation Committee consists of two members of the board of directors, Messers Colton Melby and Corey Lambrecht, both of whom are "independent directors" within the meaning of Rule 4200(a) (15) of the Nasdaq Stock Market.

Role of Committee

The Compensation Committee discharges the Board’s responsibilities relating to general compensation policies and practices and to compensation of our executives. In discharging its responsibilities, the Compensation Committee establishes principles and procedures in order to ensure to the Board and the shareholders that the compensation practices of the Company are appropriately designed and implemented to attract, retain and reward high quality executives, and are in accordance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements. In this context, the Compensation Committee’s authority, duties and responsibilities are to:

Annually review the Company’s philosophy regarding executive compensation.

Periodically review market and industry data to assess the Company’s competitive position, and to retain any compensation consultant to be used to assist in the evaluation of directors’ and executive officers’ compensation.

Establish and approve the Company goals and objectives, and associated measurement metrics relevant to compensation of the Company’s executive officers.

Establish and approve incentive levels and targets relevant to compensation of the executive officers.

Annually review and make recommendations to the Board to approve, for all principal executives and officers, the base and incentive compensation, taking into consideration the judgment and recommendation of the Chief Executive Officer for the compensation of the principal executives and officers.

Separately review, determine and approve the Chief Executive Officer’s applicable compensation levels based on the Committee’s evaluation of the Chief Executive Officer’s performance in light of the Company’s and the individual goals and objectives.

Periodically review and make recommendations to the Board with respect to the compensation of directors, including board and committee retainers, meeting fees, equity-based compensation and such other forms of compensation as the Compensation Committee may consider appropriate.

Review and make recommendations to the Board regarding any executive employment agreements, any proposed severance arrangements or change in control and similar agreements/provisions, and any amendments, supplements or waivers to the foregoing agreements, and any perquisites, special or supplemental benefits.

Review and discuss with management, the Compensation Disclosure and Analysis (CD&A), and determine the Committee’s recommendation for the CD&A’s inclusion in the Company’s annual report filed on Form 10-K with the SEC.

Committee Meetings

Our Compensation Committee meets formally an informally as often as necessary to perform its duties and responsibilities. The Compensation Committee held three meetings during fiscal 2010. On an as requested basis, our Compensation Committee receives and reviews materials prepared by management, consultants or committee members, in advance of each meeting. Depending on the agenda for the particular meeting, these materials may include:

Minutes and materials from the previous meeting(s);

Reports on year-to-date Company and Partnership financial performance versus budget;

Reports on progress and levels of performance of individual and Company performance objectives;

Reports on the Company’s financial and stock performance versus a peer group of companies;

Reports from the Committee’s compensation consultant regarding market and industry data relevant to executive officer compensation;

Reports and executive compensation summary worksheets, which sets forth for each executive officer: current total compensation and incentive compensation target percentages, current equity ownership holdings and general partner ownership interest, and current and projected value of each and all such compensation elements, including distributions and dividends there from, over a five year period.

Compensation Philosophy

General Philosophy

Our compensation philosophy is based on the premise of attracting, retaining and motivating exceptional leaders, setting high goals, working toward the common objectives of meeting the expectations of customers and stockholders, and rewarding outstanding performance. Following this philosophy, in determining executive compensation, we consider all relevant factors, such as the competition for talent, our desire to link pay with performance, the use of equity to align executive interests with those of our stockholders, individual contributions, teamwork and performance, each executive’s total compensation package, and internal pay equity. We strive to accomplish these objectives by compensating all employees with total compensation packages consisting of a combination of competitive base salary and incentive compensation.

Pay for Performance

At the core of our compensation philosophy is our strong belief that pay should be directly linked to performance. We believe in a pay for performance culture that places a significant portion of executive officer total compensation as contingent upon, or variable with, individual performance, Company performance and achievement of strategic goals including increasing shareholder value.

The performance based compensation for our executives may be in the form of (i) annual cash incentives to promote achievement of, and accountability for, shorter term performance plans and strategic goals, and (ii) equity grants, designed to align the long-term interests of our executive officers with those of our shareholders, by creating a strong and direct link between executive compensation and shareholder return over a multiple year performance cycle. Long term incentive equity awards are granted in restricted stock. These shares/units generally vest over a two to four year period. This opportunity for share ownership was provided in order to provide incentive and retain key employees and align their interests with our long term strategic goals.

Base Compensation to be Competitive within Industry

A key component of an executive’s total compensation base salary is designed to compensate executives commensurate with their respective level of experience, scope of responsibilities, sustained individual performance and future potential. The goal has been to provide for base salaries that are sufficiently competitive with other similar-sized companies, both regionally and nationally, in order to attract and retain talented leaders.

Compensation Setting Process

Management’s Role in the Compensation Setting Process.

Management plays a significant role in the compensation-setting process. The most significant aspects of management’s role are:

Assisting in establishing business performance goals and objectives;

Evaluating employee and company performance;

CEO recommending compensation levels and awards for executive officers;

Implementing the Board approved compensation plans; and

Assistance in preparing agenda and materials for the Committee meetings.

The Chief Executive Officer generally attends the Committee meetings; however, the Committee also regularly meets in executive session. The Chief Executive Officer makes recommendations with respect to financial and corporate goals and objectives and makes non CEO executive compensation recommendations to the Compensation Committee based on company performance, individual performance and the peer group compensation market analysis. The Compensation Committee considers and deliberates on this information and in turn makes recommendations to the Board of Directors, for the Board’s determination and approval of the executives’ and other members of senior management’s compensation, including base compensation, short-term cash incentives and long-term equity incentives. The Chief Executive Officer’s performance and compensation is reviewed, evaluated and established separately by the Compensation Committee and ratified and approved by the Board of Directors.

Setting Compensation Levels

To evaluate our total compensation is competitive and provides appropriate rewards to attract and retain talented leaders, as discussed above, we may rely on analyses of peer companies performed by independent compensation consultants and on other industry and occupation specific survey data available to us. Our general benchmark is to establish both base salary and total compensation for the executive officers at the 50th percentile of the peer group data, recognizing that a significant portion of executive officer total compensation should be contingent upon, or variable with, achievement of individual and Company performance objectives and strategic goals, as well as being variable with stockholder value. Further, while the objective for base salary is at the 50th percentile of the peer group data, executives’ base salaries are designed to reward core competencies and contributions to the Company, and may be increased above this general benchmark based on (i) the individual’s increased contribution over the preceding year; (ii) the individual’s increased responsibilities over the preceding year; and (iii) any increase in median competitive pay levels.

Setting Performance Objectives

The Company’s business plans and strategic objectives are generally presented by management at the Company’s annual board meeting. The board engages in an active discussion concerning the financial targets, the appropriateness of the strategic objectives and the difficulty in achieving same. In establishing the compensation plan, our Compensation Committee then utilizes the primary financial objectives from the adopted business plan and operating cash flow as the primary targets for determining the executive officers’ short-term cash incentives and long term equity incentive compensation. The Committee also establishes additional non-financial performance goals and objectives, the achievement of which is required for funding of a significant portion, approximately twenty five percent, of the executive officers’ incentive compensation. In 2010, these non financial performance goals and objectives included achieving accurate financial reporting and timely SEC filings; demonstrating full compliance and superior performance in the Company’s environmental, health and safety practices; performing appropriate SOX/404 remediation activities and achieving successful testing of and compliance with SOX requirements and general and administrative expense management.

Annual Evaluation

The Chief Executive Officer recommends the actual incentive award amounts for all other executives based on actual company performance relative to the targets as well as on individual performance, and recommends the executives’ base salaries levels for the coming year. The Compensation Committee considers these recommendations generally at the end of each fiscal year in determining its recommendations to the Board of Directors for the final short-term cash incentive and long-term equity award amounts for each executive and for the executive’s base salary levels. The actual incentive amounts awarded to each executive are ultimately subject to the discretion of the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors.

Additional equity-based awards may be also granted to executives, as well as other employees, upon commencement of employment, for promotions or special performance recognition or for retention purposes, based on the recommendation of the Chief Executive Officer. In determining whether to recommend additional grants to an executive, the Chief Executive Officer typically considers the individual’s performance and any planned change in functional responsibility.

Elements of Executive Compensation

Total Compensation

Total compensation for our executives consists of three elements: (i) base salary; (ii) incentive cash award based on achieving specific performance targets as measured by cash flow and other objectives and (iii) equity incentive award, which is also performance based and paid out over a future period in the form of restricted stock or stock purchase options. Base salaries are the value upon which both the incentive compensation percentage targets are measured against. For evaluation and comparison of overall compensation of the executives and to assist it in making its compensation decisions, the Compensation Committee reviews an executive compensation summary, which sets forth for each executive: current compensation and current equity ownership holdings as well as the projected value of each and all such compensation elements, including distributions and dividends there from.

Base Salaries

Base salaries are designed to compensate executives commensurate with their respective level of experience, scope of responsibilities and to reward sustained individual performance and future potential. The goal has been to provide for base salaries that are sufficiently competitive with other similar-sized companies, both regionally and nationally, in order to attract and retain talented leaders.

Incentive Compensation

Incentive compensation is intended to align compensation with business objectives and performance and enable the company to attract, retain and reward high quality executive officers whose contributions are critical to short and long-term success of the Company. The executives’ incentive awards are based upon three key performance metrics: 1) the Company’s EBIDA; 2) achievement of agreed-upon strategic and corporate performance goals; and 3) existing Employment Agreement.

The strategic and corporate performance goals are not intended to be a specific agreed-upon goal, but rather a general objective. Management and the board of directors discuss these factors and set objectives that are dynamic and change periodically. In setting these periodic goals, the board of directors discusses with management the nature of the objective and management's proposed method of achieving the goal. These goals change throughout the operational process because of changing dynamics such as economic conditions, current success of marketing, availability of materials, availability of funding and overall momentum toward achieving the goal.

Incentive Plan Compensation

Incentive awards are paid out in cash, restricted common stock or option awards. The incentive award targets for the executives are established at the beginning of the year, generally, as a percentage of their base salary and the actual awards are determined at the following year’s Annual Board of Directors meetings based on actual company performance relative to established goals and objectives, as well as on evaluation of the executive’s relevant departmental and individual performance during the past year. In many instances the award of restricted common stock vests over a four year term in equal periodic tranches. The award of restricted common stock purchased through options generally, although not in every instance, vests immediately upon exercise of the option and generally has a validity of up to ten years and a per share purchase price, of no less than, the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. The awards are intended to serve as a means of incentive compensation for performance.

2009 Equity Incentive Plan (Executive)

On January 5, 2009 the Company Board of Directors received and approved a written report and recommendations of the Compensation Committee which included a detailed executive equity compensation report and market analysis and recommendations of Compensia, Inc., a management consulting firm that provides executive compensation advisory services to compensation committees and senior management of knowledge-based companies. The Compensation Committee used the report and analysis as a basis for its formal written recommendation to the board. Pursuant to a January 8, 2009 board resolution, the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (Executive), a Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan, was created and funded with 4,200,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock. The Compensation Committee was appointed as the Plan Administrator to manage the plan. October 11, 2010, CUI Global authorized an additional 3,060,382 options under the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (Executive).

The 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (Executive) provides for the issuance of Incentive Non Statutory Options to attract, retain and motivate executive and management employees and directors and to encourage these individuals to acquire an equity interest in the Company, to make monetary payments to certain management employees and directors based upon the value of the Company’s stock and to provide these individuals with an incentive to maximize the success of the Company and further the interest of the shareholders. The Administrator of the plan is authorized to determine the exercise price per share at the time the option is granted, but under the terms of the 2009 Plan, the exercise price shall not be less than the fair market value on the date the option is granted. Stock options granted under the 2009 Plan have a maximum duration of 10 years.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

The written report and recommendations of Compensia, Inc., as noted above in the section, 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (Executive), upon which the Compensation Committee relied, also included a detailed director and committee compensation report and market analysis. The 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (Executive) provides for the issuance of stock options to attract, retain and motivate directors as well as other management personnel.

The Compensation Committee concluded that, after giving consideration to the directors’ obligation in representation of the shareholders, the high standard of ethics and talent required, increasing workloads, greater exposure, more stringent director independence standards and the SEC's disclosure rules, directors and committee members should be compensated fairly for time and value delivered and the compensation should be sufficient to attract and retain qualified competent individuals to serve on our board. The Compensation Committee adopted the recommendations of Compensia and approved a director and committee compensation plan.

The Compensation Committee concluded that the appropriate compensation for calendar year 2009 should be in the form of options granted in an amount equal to the 50th percentile for similar companies, but discounted by a factor of 10% at an option strike price of $0.25 per share. This price reflected the true value of the directors’ work, provides adequate incentive to each director and does not unfairly penalize the directors for current market conditions. Moreover, the $0.25 strike price reflects the price at which much of the underlying funding and CUI transaction was originally priced.

In keeping with this original compensation structure, the Compensation Committee concluded that the appropriate compensation for calendar year 2010 should continue to be in the form of options granted in an amount equal to the 50th percentile for similar companies, but discounted by a factor of 10% at an option strike price of $0.30 per share. In furtherance of this compensation plan, October 11, 2010, the Board of Directors authorized an additional 3,060,382 options under the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (Executive) of which 99,000 options were granted to each director of the Company with an exercise price of $0.30 per share and that vest one year after the October 11, 2010 date of grant. The $0.30 option price reflects a stock price fair to both the director and the Company. The 2010 director compensation plan, in summary, provides:

Board of Directors Members

Cash Retainer - $20,000 annually for non-employee members, $30,000 annually for the non-employee chairperson

Annual Option to purchase 99,000 common shares at a price of $0.30 per share. The option vests in full after one year.

Meeting fee: none.

Audit Committee

Non-employee member - $3,000 annually

Non-employee chairperson - $5,500 annually

Compensation Committee

Non-employee member - $2,000 annually

Non-employee chairperson - $4,500 annually

At the 2008 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on September 15, 2008, the Equity Incentive Plan was approved by the Company shareholders. At the 2009 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on September 29, 2009, the shareholders approved an amendment to the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan to increase the number of common shares issuable under the plan from 1,500,000 to 3,000,000. All of these shares have been registered under Form S-8.

The 2008 Equity Incentive Plan provides for the issuance of incentive stock options (ISOs) and Non Statutory Options (NSOs) to employees, directors and independent contractors of the Company. The Board shall determine the exercise price per share in the case of an ISO at the time an option is granted and such price shall be not less than the fair market value or 110% of fair market value in the case of a ten percent or greater stockholder. In the case of an NSO, the exercise price shall not be less than the fair market value of one share of stock on the date the option is granted. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, ISOs and NSOs granted under the both plans have a maximum duration of 10 years.

Equity Compensation Plans Not Approved by Shareholders

In January 2009 the Company Board of Directors received and approved a written report and recommendations of the Compensation Committee which included a detailed executive equity compensation report and market analysis and the recommendations of Compensia, Inc., a management consulting firm that provides executive compensation advisory services to compensation committees and senior management of knowledge-based companies. The Compensation Committee used the report and analysis as a basis for its formal written recommendation to the board. Pursuant to a board resolution the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (Executive), a Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan, was created and funded with 4,200,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock. The Compensation Committee was appointed as the Plan Administrator to manage the plan.

October 11, 2010, the Board of Directors authorized an additional 3,060,382 options under the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (Executive) which were granted: 99,000 to each director of the Company with an exercise price of $0.30 per share and vesting one year after the October 11, 2010 date of grant. Two employees who also serve as directors received 1,568,312 bonus options as employees and 898,070 stock options were granted to corporate officers and employees. The employee bonus options have an exercise price of $0.30 per share and vest over four years, 25% at year one and thereafter in equal monthly installments.

The 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (Executive) provides for the issuance of stock options to attract, retain and motivate executive and management employees and directors and to encourage these individuals to acquire an equity interest in the Company, to make monetary payments to certain management employees and directors based upon the value of the Company’s stock and to provide these individuals with an incentive to maximize the success of the Company and further the interest of the shareholders. The 2009 Plan provides for the issuance of Incentive Non Statutory Options. The Administrator of the plan is authorized to determine the exercise price per share at the time the option is granted, but the exercise price shall not be less than the fair market value on the date the option is granted. Stock options granted under the 2009 Plan have a maximum duration of 10 years.

The Company has outstanding at December 31, 2010, the following options issued under equity compensation plans not approved by security holders:

During 2006, the Company issued options to a former employee a five year option for the purchase of 350,000 common shares at an exercise price of $0.01 per share as a bonus. The options expire during 2011 and are fully vested.

During 2009, the Company issued under the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (Executive) to officers and directors options to purchase restricted common stock at $0.25 per share as follows: 2,550,273 fully vested shares; 864,000 shares that vest over four years, 25% at year one and thereafter in equal monthly installments; and 594,000 shares that fully vested one year after the date of grant.

During 2010 the Company issued under the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (Executive) to officers and directors options to purchase restricted common stock at $0.30 per share as follows: 594,000 options that vest one year after the 10/11/2010 grant date and 2,466,382 options that vest over four years, 25% at one year after the grant date, thereafter in equal monthly installments.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence

Except as set forth herein, none of the Company’s directors or officers nor any person who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, shares carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to its outstanding shares, nor any relative or spouse of any of the foregoing persons, since the beginning of fiscal year 2010, has any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction or in any presently proposed transaction where the amount involved exceeds $120,000 which has or will materially affect the Company.

At December 31, 2007, twenty-four month secured promissory notes totaling $1,100,000 were outstanding. $1,000,000 of these promissory notes were from an entity controlled by a related party. During calendar year 2009 the related party portion in the amount of $125,000 was extinguished. The Company paid the related party $100,000 and recognized additional paid in capital contribution on the extinguishment of $25,542 related to the remaining principal and accrued interest forgiven. During calendar year 2009 the Company paid $250,000 in principal. During 2010 the Company paid $43,674 in principal and converted $100,000 to 666,666 shares of common stock. At December 31, 2010 there is $481,326 remaining outstanding. Interest accrues at 12% per annum, payable monthly. The Company obtained an extension of the term date to January 1, 2012 for this note payable.

Effective May 16, 2008 the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary into which CUI, Inc., an Oregon corporation, merged all of its assets. The funding for this acquisition was provided by a bank note, a seller’s note and a convertible seller’s note. Matthew McKenzie, COO and Daniel Ford, CFO each were partial owners in CUI, Inc. prior to the acquisition. The consideration paid by the Company is summarized as follows:

$6,000,000 cash loan from Commerce Bank of Oregon, term of 3 years, interest only, prime rate less 0.50%, secured by Letters of Credit. This note was paid in 2010.

$14,000,000 promissory note to International Electronic Devices, Inc. (IED), the former CUI shareholders, payable monthly over three years at $30,000 per month including 1.7% annual simple interest with a balloon payment at the thirty sixth monthly payment, no prepayment penalty, annual success fee of 2.3% payable within three years, right of first refusal to the note payees relating to any private capital raising transactions of CUI Global during the term of the note. Effective September 1, 2010, the Company and the holder of the $14,000,000 promissory note agreed to reduce the note principal by $1,588,063 and accrued interest by $724,729 and to restructure the interest rate and payment terms. The forgiveness of debt and accrued interest of $2,312,792 as recognized as a contribution of additional paid in capital. With this amendment, the Company agreed to pay $1,200,000 of the principal balance during the fourth quarter of 2010 and an additional $487,208 of the principal balance during the first quarter of 2011. The new terms set the interest rate at 6% per annum with monthly interest payments of $51,545 payment and a May 15, 2018 balloon payment.

$17,500,000 convertible promissory note to IED plus 1.7% annual simple interest and 2.3% annual success fee, permitting payees to convert any unpaid principal, interest and success fee to CUI Global common stock at a per share price of $0.25 and at the end of the three year term giving to CUI Global the singular, discretionary right to convert any unpaid principal, interest and success fee to CUI Global common stock at a per share price of $0.25. This note also provided a right of first refusal to the note payees relating to any private capital raising transactions of CUI Global during the term of the note. In May 2009, CUI Global and the debt holder of the $17,500,000 convertible promissory note, IED, Inc., agreed to amend the convertible promissory note related to the acquisition of CUI, Inc. by reducing the conversion rate from $0.25 to $0.07 per share to reflect the stock price for the ten day trailing average preceding April 24, 2009, the date of the agreement. The agreement specifically retained the total maximum convertible shares at 70,000,000 as stated in the original Note. This amendment effectively reduced the Note principal from $17,500,000 to $4,900,000. The Company recognized additional paid in capital contribution related to this 2009 extinguishment of debt of $11,808,513. On April 1, 2010, the Company settled the $4,900,000 convertible promissory note and $850,500 in accrued interest on this note for a one-time payment of $50,000 and the conversion of $70,000 of the principal into 1,000,000 shares of the company’s common stock at the stated conversion rate of $0.07 per share. The Company recognized additional paid in capital contribution from the 2010 extinguishment of debt of $5,630,500.

Appointment by note payees of three members to Board of Directors for so long as there remains an unpaid balance was terminated upon release of the convertible seller’s note by payees and described more thoroughly herein.

During 2010 and 2009, $1,616,180 and $450,000, respectively, in principal and interest payments were made in relation to the promissory notes issued to IED. Also during 2010, $70,000 of principal was converted to 1,000,000 shares of CUI Global common stock at $0.07 per share in accordance with the convertible note terms and $200,000 of principal was converted to 1,000,000 shares of CUI Global common stock at $0.20 per share in accordance with a settlement agreement.

During 2009, 416,667 shares of common stock were sold pursuant to a stock purchase agreement with proceeds of $4,167 by an entity controlled by Colton Melby who is Chairman of the Board of Directors.

The $6,000,000 bank note as noted above was secured by personal guarantees in the form of Letters of Credit in favor of the Commerce Bank of Oregon. In consideration for posting the Letters of Credit, the Company issued to each individual who supplied a Letter of Credit, warrants to purchase, within 3 years at a per share price of $0.01, one CUI Global common share for each dollar of the Letter of Credit. The warrants became fully vested at the second anniversary date. A former officer of the Company received a 300,000 share warrant which was exercised August 17, 2010, a former director, received a 300,000 share warrant which was exercised December 16, 2010, a director received a 400,000 share warrant which was exercised August 18, 2010, a director received a 700,000 share warrant, an owner of 10% of the voting rights attached to outstanding shares received a 4,000,000 share warrant and a 300,000 share warrant was issued to an individual investor.

In May 2010 two corporate officers, one of whom is also a director, as shareholders in IED, an entity that owns Company promissory notes, received 30,303 shares of common stock in a negotiated satisfaction of a promissory note and in December 2010 these two individuals also received 30,612 shares of common stock at $0.20 per share as their portion of the conversion of an additional $200,000 of Company debt owed to IED.

In October 2010, 1,000,000 shares of common stock were issued to a director at $0.20 per share in consideration for a cash payment of $200,000.

As a part of the CUI asset acquisition, the CUI Global, Inc. corporate offices were relocated to the CUI location at 20050 SW 112th Avenue, Tualatin, Oregon 97062. CUI and CUI Global occupy the 61,380 square feet of offices and warehouse premises under a ten year non-cancelable lease agreement beginning September 1, 2006 with Barakel, LLC at a base monthly rent subject to periodic base payment increases plus real property taxes, utilities, insurance and common area maintenance charges. During the period January 1 through December 31, 2010, the monthly base rent was $40,000. Barakel, LLC is controlled by James McKenzie, majority owner of CUI, Inc. prior to acquisition, majority owner of IED, Inc. and Matt McKenzie, COO and Director of the Company.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of:

CUI Global, Inc. (formerly known as Waytronx, Inc.)

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CUI Global, Inc. (formerly known as Waytronx, Inc.) and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 (Restated), and the related statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the two years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 (Restated). These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly in all material respects, the financial position of CUI Global, Inc. (formerly known as Waytronx, Inc.) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 (Restated) and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the two years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 (Restated) in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has a net loss of $7,015,896, a working capital deficiency of $675,936 and an accumulated deficit of $73,596,738 at December 31, 2010. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

CUI Global, Inc.

(formerly known as Waytronx, Inc.)

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2010 and 2009

1.	NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

CUI Global is a platform company dedicated to maximizing shareholder value through the acquisition, development and commercialization of new, innovative technologies. Through its subsidiaries, CUI Global has built a diversified portfolio of industry leading technologies that touch many markets.

Effective May 16, 2008, CUI Global, Inc. formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Waytronx Holdings, Inc., to acquire the assets of CUI, Inc., a Tualatin, Oregon based provider of electronic components including power supplies, transformers, converters, connectors and industrial controls for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). The wholly owned subsidiary was renamed CUI, Inc. following the close of the acquisition. Through the acquisition of CUI, Inc., the Company obtained 352,589 common shares (representing a 11.544% and 10.47% interest at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively) in Test Products International, Inc., a provider of handheld test and measurement equipment. Since its inception in 1989, CUI has been delivering quality products, extensive application solutions and superior personal service. CUI's solid customer commitment and honest corporate message are a hallmark in the industry.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that CUI Global will continue as a going concern. As reflected in these financial statements, we had a consolidated net loss of $7,015,896 and an accumulated deficit of $73,596,738 for the year ended December 31, 2010. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability to bring additional technologies and products to market, generate increased sales, obtain positive cash flow from operations and raise additional capital. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

If necessary, we will continue to raise additional capital to provide sufficient cash to meet the funding required to develop and commercialize our technology product lines. As we continue to expand and develop technology and product lines, additional funding may be required. There have been negative cash flows from operations and incurred net losses in the past and there can be no assurance as to the availability or terms upon which additional financing and capital might be available if needed.

2.	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, 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 could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates in 2010 and 2009 include estimates used to review the Company’s long-lived assets for impairment, inventory valuation, valuations of non-cash capital stock issuances and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

F-9

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements for 2010 include the accounts of CUI Global, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries CUI, Inc. and CUI Japan and 49% owned Comex Electronics for the full year. The consolidated financial statements for 2009 include the accounts of CUI Global, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary CUI, Inc. for the full year, and the partial year results of its wholly owned subsidiary CUI Japan and 49% owned Comex Electronics since acquisition on July 1, 2009. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 825 (“FASB ASC 825”), “Financial Instruments”, requires disclosures of information about the fair value of certain financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value. For purposes of this disclosure, the fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation.

Management believes the carrying amounts of the short-term financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, restricted cash, prepaid expense and other assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, notes payable, deferred compensation and other liabilities reflected in the accompanying balance sheet approximate fair value at December 31, 2010 due to the relatively short-term nature of these instruments.

F-12

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash includes deposits at financial institutions with maturities of three months or less. The Company at times has cash in banks in excess of FDIC insurance limits and places its temporary cash investments with high credit quality financial institutions. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company had no cash balances at financial institutions which were in excess of the FDIC insured limits. However, at December 31, 2010, the Company held $142,952 in European foreign bank accounts and $258,835 in Japanese foreign bank accounts. However, at December 31, 2009, the Company held $26,166 in European foreign bank accounts and $112,223 in Japanese foreign bank accounts.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts

Accounts receivable consist of the receivables associated with the revenue derived from product sales. An allowance for uncollectible accounts is recorded to allow for any amounts that may not be recoverable, based on an analysis of prior collection experience, customer credit worthiness and current economic trends. Based on management’s review of accounts receivable, an allowance for doubtful accounts of $125,000 and $135,000 at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, is considered adequate. Receivables are determined to be past due based on the payment terms of original invoices. The Company grants credit to its customers, with standard terms of Net 30 days. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, therefore, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure is limited. Additionally, the Company maintains a foreign credit receivables insurance policy that covers many of its receivable balances in effort to further reduce credit risk exposure.

Inventory

Inventories consist of finished and un-finished products and are stated at the lower of cost or market; using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method as a cost flow convention. At December 31, 2010 and 2009 inventory is valued, net of allowances, at $4,976,587 and $3,661,994, respectively. The allowances for inventory were $355,000 and $100,000 at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Furniture, Equipment and Software

Furniture, equipment and software are recorded at cost and include major expenditures, which increase productivity or substantially increase useful lives.

Maintenance, repairs and minor replacements are charged to expenses when incurred. When furniture and equipment is sold or otherwise disposed of, the asset and related accumulated depreciation are removed from this account, and any gain or loss is included in the statement of operations.

The cost of furniture, equipment and software is depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes. The estimated useful lives and accumulated depreciation for furniture, equipment and software are as follows:

		Estimated
		Useful Life
Furniture and equipment		3 to 7 years
Software		3 to 5 years

Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets and certain identifiable assets related to those assets are periodically reviewed for impairment whenever circumstances and situations change such that there is an indication that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If the non-discounted future cash flows of the enterprise are less than their carrying amount, their carrying amounts are reduced to fair value and an impairment loss is recognized. During 2010, the Company recorded impairment expense of $3,105,956 related to technology rights and $418,185 related to patents. During 2009, $210,403 related to intangible, patent pending technology, $246,237 related to intangible, customer list, the Company recorded impairment expense of $10,241,529 related to goodwill and $136,811 related to capitalized patents.

F-13

Identifiable Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are stated at cost net of accumulated amortization and impairment. Intangible assets other than goodwill, technology rights and patents are amortized over an estimated useful life of 15 years. Technology rights are amortized over a twenty year life and are reviewed for impairment annually. Patent costs are amortized over the life of the patent. Any patents not approved will be expensed at that time.

Intangible assets consist of the following as of December 31, 2010 and 2009:

Investment – Equity Method

Through the acquisition of CUI, Inc. the Company obtained 352,589 common shares (representing a 11.544% and 10.47% interest at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively) in Test Products International, Inc., hereafter referred to as TPI. TPI is a provider of handheld test and measurement equipment. The Company also has a demand receivable from TPI of $190,240 as of December 31, 2010. CUI Global enjoys a close association with this affiliate through common Board of Director membership and participation, that allows for a significant amount of influence over affiliate business decisions. Accordingly, for financial statement purposes, the Company accounts for its investment in this affiliated entity under the equity method. A summary of the unaudited financial statements of the affiliate for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 are as follows:

Asset Impairment

Patent Costs

The Company estimates the patents it has filed have a future beneficial value; therefore it capitalizes the costs associated with filing for its patents. At the time the patent is approved, the patent costs associated with the patent are amortized over the useful life of the patent. If the patent is not approved, at that time the costs will be expensed. A change in the estimate of the patent having a future beneficial value will impact the other assets and expense accounts. During the years ended 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded impairment charges of $418,185 and $136,811 related to capitalized patents.

Derivative Liabilities

The Company accounts for its embedded conversion features and freestanding warrants pursuant to FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 815 (“FASB ASC 815”), “Derivatives and Hedging ”, which requires a periodic valuation of the fair value of derivative instruments and a corresponding recognition of liabilities associated with such derivatives. The recognition of derivative liabilities related to the issuance of shares of common stock is applied first to the proceeds of such issuance, at the date of issuance, and the excess of derivative liabilities over the proceeds is recognized as other expense in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The recognition of derivative liabilities related to the issuance of convertible debt is applied first to the proceeds of such issuance as a debt discount, at the date of issuance, and the excess of derivative liabilities over the proceeds is recognized as other expense in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Any subsequent increase or decrease in the fair value of the derivative liabilities is recognized as other expense or other income, respectively. The reclassification of a contract is reassessed at each balance sheet date. If a contract is reclassified from permanent equity to an asset or a liability, the change in the fair value of the contract during the period the contract was classified as equity is accounted for as an adjustment to equity. If a contract is reclassified from an asset or liability to equity, gains or losses recorded to account for the contract at fair value during the period that contract was classified as an asset or a liability are not reversed but instead are accounted for as an adjustment to equity.

F-16

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock based compensation using FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 718 (“FASB ASC 718”), “Compensation – Stock Compensation”. FASB Codification No. 718 requires the fair value of all stock-based employee compensation awarded to employees to be recorded as an expense over the related vesting period. The statement also requires the recognition of compensation expense for the fair value of any unvested stock option awards outstanding at the date of adoption. Employee stock compensation is recorded at fair value using the Black Scholes Pricing Model. The underlying assumptions used in the Black Scholes Pricing Model by the Company are taken from publicly available sources including, volatility is calculated using historic stock price information from online finance websites such as Google Finance and Yahoo Finance, the stock price on the date of grant is obtained from online finance websites such as those previously noted, appropriate discount rates are obtained from the United States Federal Reserve economic research and data website and other inputs are determined based on previous experience and related estimates.

See Note 14, for additional disclosure and discussion of the employee stock plan and activity.

Common stock, stock options and common stock warrants issued to other than employees or directors are recorded on the basis of their fair value, as required by FASB ASC 505, which is measured as of the date required by FASB ASC 505, “Equity – Based Payments to Non-Employees”. In accordance with FASB ASC 505, the stock options or common stock warrants are valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model on the basis of the market price of the underlying common stock on the “valuation date,” which for options and warrants related to contracts that have substantial disincentives to non-performance is the date of the contract, and for all other contracts is the vesting date. Expense related to the options and warrants is recognized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the period over which services are to be received or the vesting period. Where expense must be recognized prior to a valuation date, the expense is computed under the Black-Scholes option pricing model on the basis of the market price of the underlying common stock at the end of the period, and any subsequent changes in the market price of the underlying common stock up through the valuation date is reflected in the expense recorded in the subsequent period in which that change occurs.

Revenue Recognition

The recognition of revenues requires judgment, including whether a sale includes multiple elements, and if so, whether vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) of fair value exists for those elements. Customers receive certain elements of CUI Global products over a period of time. These elements include licensing rights to manufacture and sell our proprietary patent protected products. The ability to identify VSOE for those elements and the fair value of the respective elements could materially impact the amount of earned and unearned revenue. CUI Global does not have any history as to the costs expected to be incurred in granting licensing rights relating to its products. Therefore, revenues may be recorded that are not in proportion to the costs expected to be incurred in performing these services.

Revenues from warranty and maintenance activities are recognized ratably over the term of the warranty and maintenance period and the unrecognized portion is recorded as deferred revenue.

Revenues in connection with electronic devices, component, and test and measurement equipment are recognized at the time the product is shipped to the customer, collectability is reasonably assumed, the price is fixed and determinable and persuasive evidence of arrangement exists.

Shipping and Handling Costs

Amounts billed to customers in sales transactions related to shipping and handling represent revenues earned for the goods provided and are included in sales, and were $72,378 and $103,733 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Company expenses inbound shipping and handling costs as cost of revenues.

Warranty Reserves

A warranty reserve liability is recorded based on estimates of future costs on sales recognized. There was no warranty reserve recorded at December 31, 2010 or 2009.

F-17

Advertising

The costs incurred for producing and communicating advertising are charged to operations as incurred. Advertising expense for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $575,490 and $544,146, respectively.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method of FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 740 (“FASB ASC 740”), “Income Taxes”. Under FASB ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized as income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Valuation allowances have been established against deferred tax assets due to uncertainties in the Company’s ability to generate sufficient taxable income in future periods to make realization of such assets more likely than not. An income tax benefit has not been recognized for its operating losses generated during 2010 and 2009 based on uncertainties concerning the ability to generate taxable income in future periods. There was no income tax receivable at December 31, 2010 and 2009. In future periods, tax benefits and related deferred tax assets will be recognized when management considers realization of such amounts to be more likely than not.

Net Loss Per Share

In accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 260 (“FASB ASC 260”), “Earnings Per Share”, basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares outstanding as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, which consist of options, warrants, convertible notes and convertible preferred stock, have been excluded from the diluted net loss per common share calculations because they are anti-dilutive. Accordingly, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share for 2010 and 2009. The following table summarizes the potential common stock shares at December 31, 2010 and 2009, which may dilute future earnings per share.

	2010		2009
Convertible preferred stock		252,715		252,715
Warrants and options, vested		17,807,801		18,307,893
Convertible debt		-		76,200,000
		18,060,516		94,760,608

Foreign Currency Translation

The financial statements of the Company's foreign offices have been translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with FASB ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Matters” (FASB ASC 830). All balance sheet accounts have been translated using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Income statement amounts have been translated using an appropriately weighted average exchange rate for the year. The translation gains and losses resulting from the changes in exchange rates during 2010 and 2009 have been reported in accumulated other comprehensive income, except for gains and losses resulting from the translation of intercompany receivables and payables, which are included in earnings for the period.

Segment Reporting

Upon the acquisition of CUI, Inc., CUI Japan and Comex Electronics, CUI Global now has operating segments to report. The Company has identified five operating segments based on the products offered. The five segments are External Power, Internal Power, Industrial Controls, Comex/CUI Japan and Other. The External Power segment is focused primarily on sales of external power supplies and related components. The Internal Power segment is focused primarily on sales of internal power supplies and related components. The Industrial Controls segment is focused primarily on sales of encoding devices and related components. The Comex/CUI Japan segment is focused on the sales of Comex and CUI Japan products. The Other category represents activity of segments that do not meet the threshold for segment reporting and are combined.

There was, however, a $0.20 per share minimum limit on the conversion price, which limited the number of shares that the company would be obligated to issue. However, in April 2010 in conjunction with other debt reduction initiatives, the Company agreed with the convertible note holder to convert the remaining $1,000,000 of principal and related accrued interest at $0.1056 per share of common stock based on 80% of the average closing price of one share of Company common stock for the 10 days preceding the conversion date.

Of the remaining $1,800,000 notes, $700,000 ($450,000 of this amount has been repaid and $250,000 was converted to common stock leaving $0 principal balance remaining at December 31, 2010) of these notes were convertible to common stock at a per share price of $0.25.

The remaining $1,100,000 ($493,674 of this amount has been repaid, $100,000 was converted to common stock and $25,000 was recorded as additional paid in capital was recorded related to the debt settlement of $25,000 of the promissory note leaving $481,326 of principal balance remaining at December 31, 2010) were not convertible.

In October 2010, the note holder exercised the conversion of the $100,000 of principal. As of December 31, 2010, 16,025,511 common shares were issued pursuant to the conversion of these promissory notes and exercise of the warrants; 1,458,543 common shares are held in reserve underlying the common stock purchase warrants and common shares underlying the warrants.

The $2,000,000 received was used to pay down the $6,000,000 bank loan with Commerce Bank bringing the net loan balance to $4,000,000. Also in August 2010, the Company replaced the $4,000,000 cash loan from Commerce Bank of Oregon with a $4,000,000 term note through the Business Credit division of Wells Fargo Capital Finance, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, with a July 31, 2011 maturity date, paying interest only at an interest rate equal to the daily three month LIBOR plus 4.00% (4.30% at December 31, 2010), and secured by personal letters of credit from a related party.

In the case of an NSO, the exercise price shall not be less than the fair market value of one share of stock on the date the option is granted. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, ISOs and NSOs granted under the both plans have a maximum duration of 10 years.

11. INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Codification 260, “Earnings per Share”, basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares outstanding as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, which consist of options, warrants, convertible notes and convertible preferred stock, have been excluded from the diluted net loss per common share calculations because they are anti-dilutive. Accordingly, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share for 2010 and 2009. The following table summarizes the potential common stock shares at December 31, 2010 and 2009, which may dilute future earnings per share.

12. INCOME TAXES

The Company recognized losses for both financial and tax reporting purposes during each of the periods in the

accompanying statements of operations. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes and/or deferred income taxes payable has been provided for in the accompanying financial statements.

An income tax benefit has not been recognized for operating losses generated in prior periods based on uncertainties concerning the ability to generate taxable income in future periods. At December 31, 2010, the Company had available net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $39,838,000. These operating loss carry-forwards expire in various years through the year ending December 31, 2030; however, because the Company has incurred significant operating losses, utilization of the tax loss carry-forwards are not assured. The increase in the valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 2010 was approximately $1,405,000. As a result, the non-current deferred income tax asset arising from these net operating loss carry-forwards and from other temporary differences are not recorded in the accompanying balance sheets because a valuation allowance was established to fully reserve such assets due to the uncertainty of the Company’s realization of this benefit.

After consideration of all the evidence management has determined that a full valuation allowance is necessary to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that will more likely than not be realized.

In future periods, tax benefits and related deferred tax assets will be recognized when management considers realization of such amounts to be more likely than not.

The Company’s tax expense differs from the “expected” tax expense for the periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, computed by applying the Federal Corporate tax rate of 34% to loss before taxes, as follows:

	2010			(Restated) 2009
Computed "expected" tax benefit	$	(2,385,405	)	$	(1,431,000	)
State/Foreign tax benefit, net of federal effect		(193,671	)		(184,000	)

Non-deductible expenses		1,516,276			(3,317,000	)

For the periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the tax effects of temporary differences that gave rise to significant portions of deferred tax assets and liabilities were as follows:

14. STOCK-BASED EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION

On May 16, 2008, the Board of Directors approved the CUI Global, Inc. 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (“2008 Plan”) for 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The 2008 Plan provides for the issuance of stock options to attract, retain and motivate employees, to encourage employees, directors and independent contractors to acquire an equity interest in the Company, to make monetary payments to certain employees based upon the value of the Company’s stock, and provide employees, directors and independent contractors with an incentive to maximize the success of the Company and further the interest of the shareholders. The 2008 Plan provides for the issuance of Incentive Stock Options and Non Statutory Options. The Administrator of the plan shall determine the exercise price per share at the time the option is granted, but the exercise price shall not be less than the fair market value on the date the option is granted. Stock options granted under the 2008 Plan have a maximum duration of 10 years.

At the 2009 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on September 29, 2009, the shareholders approved an amendment to the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan to increase the number of common shares issuable under the plan from 1,500,000 to 3,000,000. All of these shares have been registered under Form S-8.

F-36

The fair value of each stock option is estimated on the date of grant using a Black Scholes Pricing Model. During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company granted 3,335,382 stock options to employees, officers and directors with the following assumptions; exercise price of $0.19 - $0.30, volatility of 95% - 163%, risk free interest rate of 0.35% - 0.75% and a term of 2 years. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company granted 4,373,273 stock options to employees, officers and directors with the following assumptions; exercise price of $0.19 - $0.25, volatility of 99% - 135%, risk free interest rate of 0.73% - 0.93% and a term of 2 years.

16. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Management has reviewed for subsequent events and identified the following:

On January 6, 2011, the 50,000 issuable shares listed on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2010 were issued.

On or about January 10, 2011, in the ordinary course of business, the Company entered into a sales representative agreement with a sales representative firm in Massachusetts to represent CUI products, for which the firm will receive commissions based on sales activity.

On February 7 and 10, 2011, two former employees completed cashless exercises of their options for which 8,076 shares of common stock were issued. The Company did not receive funds from these options exercises as they were cashless.

On February 10, 2011, Comex Electronics secured a short term loan with 82 Bank for approximately $84,000 bearing annual interest at 2.70%.

On March 7, 2011, notice was received from the Patent and Trademark Office of allowance of patent for a solar heat transfer apparatus.

On March 11, 2011, 178,723 shares of common stock were issued, when earned, pursuant to a consultant agreement discussed more thoroughly in Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies, Consultant Agreements. The shares were priced $0.235 per share based on the ten day trailing average closing price at the time of the issuance in accordance with the consulting agreement.

Following the March 11, 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan, CUI Global, Inc. has no reports of injured or missing employees and its Japanese facilities remain intact and undamaged. CUI Global is analyzing the broader effects on its industries and its business. While Comex and its Japanese operations are a relatively small component of CUI Global, Inc.’s total revenue, Japan is a large supplier to the global market for semiconductors and other components. The electronics industry, as well as many other industries, source components from Japan. It is most likely that the events in Japan will affect supply of components, but it is too early to say to what extent. Business continuity plans and work to assess the impact, if any, on CUI Global, Inc. and mitigation activities has been ongoing since the event took place. We will continue to closely monitor the situation in Japan to take further action where necessary. It is, however, too early to draw any further conclusions as the situation is still developing.

On or about March 18, 2011, in the ordinary course of business, the Company entered into a contract manufacturing agreement for the manufacture of the GasPT2 devices. The manufacturer is to be compensated for products, assembly charges and all other aspects of the services required in connection with orders placed by CUI.
