PART I


ITEM 1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.


We incorporated in the State of California on July 7, 1995 as Probe Manufacturing Industries, Inc. On April 21, 2005 we re-domiciled from California to Nevada whereby we changed our name to Probe Manufacturing, Inc. Our business focuses on manufacturing electronics and providing services to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) of industrial, automotive, semiconductor, medical, communication, military, and high technology products. The services that we provide are commonly referred to as electronics manufacturing services (EMS). We offer our customers comprehensive and integrated design and manufacturing services, from initial product design to production and direct order fulfillment.

Our engineering services include product design, printed circuit board layout, prototyping, and test development. Our supply chain management solutions include purchasing, management of materials, and order fulfillment. Our manufacturing services include surface mount and through hole assembly, cable assembly, mechanical assembly, and fully integrated box build systems for high complexity electronics.


For example, Probe builds a Natural Gas Electronic Control Unit for Quantum Technologies which is used in GM’s alternative fuel engines. We have supported this customer from the inception of its product. Our services started with full design review for manufacturability and testability of the product.  Once the design review and recommendations were completed we source the materials and procure the components. Then we take responsibility for assembling the components on to the boards, assembling the mechanical parts, installing the product inside the enclosure, and finally we perform a full functional test. Then the finished good product is shipped to the customer, who integrates it in to their final fuel delivery system and it’s delivered to GM.


The majority of our revenue is driven from manufacturing a mix of complex Printed Circuit Card assemblies.  Some of the examples of our customers finished goods products include automated fluid dispensing equipments, high performance gas and liquid delivery process modules, which are used in semiconductor fabrication equipment, photonics instrumentation to measure fiber optics, electronic control unit for hydrogen, natural gas, and propane engines, electronic control unit for welding equipment, portable ultrasound and electro-simulation therapy equipment, and target scoring systems for military.


 

INDUSTRY BACKGROUND


EMS companies are the principal beneficiaries of the increased use of outsourced manufacturing services by the electronics and other industries. Outsourced manufacturing refers to OEMs’ use of EMS companies, rather than internal manufacturing capabilities, to manufacture their products. Historically, EMS companies only manufactured components or sub assemblies. As the EMS industry has evolved, OEMs have increased their reliance on EMS companies for additional, more complex manufacturing services, including collaborative product design services, supply chain management and full box manufacturing. An article by Banc of America Securities stated “that the EMS & electronic supply chain segment is poised to benefit from the increased outsourcing by OEMs. The analysts mention that the EMS segment is likely to grow faster than the broader technical sector in the long run due to the increasing trend among OEM’s to outsource work.”

EMS companies now often participate in designing, manufacturing and testing of complete systems and manage the entire supply chains of their OEM customers. Industry leading EMS companies offer end-to-end services, including product design and engineering, volume manufacturing, final system assembly and testing, direct order fulfillment, after-sale product service and support and global supply chain management.  Increased outsourced manufacturing by OEMs is expected to continue because it allows OEMs to:




Page 3 of 43




• Reduce Operating Costs and Capital Investment. In the current economic environment, OEMs are under significant pressure to reduce manufacturing costs and capital expenditures. EMS companies can provide OEMs with flexible, cost-efficient manufacturing services. In addition, as OEM products have become more technologically advanced, the manufacturing and system test processes have become increasingly automated and complex, requiring significant capital investments. EMS companies enable OEMs to access technologically advanced manufacturing and test equipment and facilities, without additional capital expenditures.


• Focus on Core Competencies. The electronics industry is highly competitive and subject to rapid technological change. As a result, OEMs increasingly are focusing their resources on activities and technologies in which they expect to add the greatest value. By offering comprehensive manufacturing services and supply chain management, EMS companies enable OEMs to focus on their core competencies, including next generation product design and development as well as marketing and sales.


• Access Leading Design and Engineering Capabilities. The design and engineering of electronics products has become more complex and sophisticated and in an effort to become more competitive, OEMs are increasingly relying on EMS companies to provide product design and engineering support services. EMS companies’ design and engineering services can provide OEMs with improvements in the performance, cost and time required to bring products to market. EMS companies are providing more sophisticated design and engineering services to OEMs, including the design and engineering of complete products following an OEM’s development of a product concept.


• Improve Supply Chain Management and Purchasing Power. OEMs face challenges in planning, procuring and managing their inventories efficiently due to fluctuations in customer demand, product design changes, short product life cycles and component price fluctuations. EMS companies employ sophisticated production management systems to manage their procurement and manufacturing processes in an efficient and cost-effective manner so that, where possible, components arrive on a just-in-time, as-and-when needed basis. EMS companies are significant purchasers of electronic components and other raw materials, and can capitalize on the economies of scale associated with their relationships with suppliers to negotiate price discounts, obtain components and other raw materials that are in short supply, and return excess components. EMS companies’ expertise in supply chain management and their relationships with suppliers across the supply chain enable them to help OEMs reduce their cost of goods sold and inventory exposure.


• Access Global Manufacturing Services. OEMs seek to reduce their manufacturing costs by having EMS companies manufacture their products in the lowest cost locations that are appropriate for their products and end customers. OEMs also are increasingly requiring particular products to be manufactured simultaneously in multiple locations, often near end users, to bring products to market more quickly, reduce shipping and logistics costs and meet local product content requirements. Global EMS companies are able to satisfy these requirements by capitalizing on their geographically dispersed manufacturing facilities, including those in lower cost regions.


• Accelerate Time to Market. OEMs face increasingly short product life cycles due to increased competition and rapid technological changes. As a result, OEMs need to reduce the time required to bring their products to market. OEMs can bring a product to market faster by using EMS companies’ expertise in new product introduction, including manufacturing design, engineering support and prototype production. OEMs can more quickly achieve volume production of their products by capitalizing on EMS companies’ manufacturing expertise and global presence and infrastructure.

 

OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES


Services We Provide


Engineering.  Our approach is to coordinate and integrate our design, prototype and other engineering capabilities. Through this approach, we provide a broad range of engineering services and, in some cases,




Page 4 of 43



dedicated production lines for prototypes. These services strengthen our relationships with manufacturing customers and attract new customers requiring specialized engineering services.

        

To assist customers with initial design, we offer computer assisted engineering, computer assisted design, engineering for manufacturability, circuit board layout and test development. We also coordinate industrial design and tooling for product manufacturing. After product design, we offer quick-turn prototyping, which means a rapid process of prototyping. During this process, we assist with the transition to production. By participating in product design and prototype development, we can reduce manufacturing costs and accelerate the cycle from product introduction to production.


Supply Chain Management.  Supply chain management consists of the planning, purchasing, expediting and warehousing of components and materials. Our inventory management and volume procurement capabilities contribute to cost reductions and reduce total cycle time.


Assembly and Manufacturing.  Our manufacturing operations include printed circuit board assembly, subsystem assembly, box build and systems integration, the process of integrating sub-systems and downloading software before producing a fully configured product. We purchase the printed circuit boards used in our assembly operations from third parties. We employ various inventory management techniques, such as just-in-time, ship-to-stock and auto-replenish, which are programs designed to ensure timely, convenient and efficient delivery of assembled products to our customers. As OEMs seek to provide greater functionality in smaller products, they increasingly require more sophisticated manufacturing technologies and processes. Our investment in advanced manufacturing equipment and our experience in innovative packaging and interconnect technologies enable us to offer a variety of advanced manufacturing solutions.


Testing.  We offer computer-aided, in-circuit testing of assembled printed circuit boards, which contributes significantly to our ability to deliver high-quality products on a consistent basis. We work with our customers to develop product-specific test strategies. Our test capabilities include manufacturing defect analysis, in-circuit tests to test the circuitry of the board and functional tests to confirm that the board or assembly operates in accordance with its final design and manufacturing specifications. We either custom design test equipment and software ourselves or use test equipment and software provided by our customers. In addition, we provide environmental stress tests of assemblies of boards or systems.


Final System Assembly and Test.  We provide final system assembly and test assemblies and modules in which they are combined to form complete, finished products. We integrate printed circuit board assemblies manufactured by us with enclosures, electronic and mechanical sub-assemblies, cables and memory modules. We assemble systems to a specific customer order and we also build to standard configurations. The complex, finished products that we produce typically require extensive test protocols. Our test services include in-circuit testing, functional and environmental tests. We also test products for conformity to applicable industry, product integrity and regulatory standards. Our test engineering expertise enables us to design functional test processes that assess critical performance elements, including hardware, software and reliability. By incorporating rigorous test processes into the manufacturing process, we can help to assure customers that their products will function as designed. We provide direct order fulfillment services shipping completed systems directly to the end consumer.


Distribution.  We offer our customers flexible, just-in-time delivery programs allowing product shipments to be closely coordinated with customers' inventory requirements. We have the ability to ship products directly into customers' distribution channels or directly to the end-user. We believe that this service can provide our customers with a more comprehensive solution and enable them to be more responsive to market demands.


Direct Order Fulfillment.  We provide direct order fulfillment for certain of our OEM customers. Direct order fulfillment involves receiving customer orders, configuring products to quickly fill the orders and delivering the products either to the OEM, a distribution channel or directly to the end customer. We manage our direct order fulfillment processes using a core set of common systems and processes that receive order information from the customer and provide comprehensive supply chain management, including procurement and production planning. These systems and processes enable us to process orders




Page 5 of 43



for multiple system configurations, and varying production quantities, including single units. Our direct order fulfillment services include build-to-order (BTO) and configure-to-order (CTO) capabilities. BTO involves building a system having the particular configuration ordered by the OEM customer. CTO involves configuring systems to an end customer's order. The end customer typically places this order by choosing from a variety of possible system configurations and options. We are capable of meeting a 48 to 72 hour turn-around-time for BTO and CTO by using advanced manufacturing processes. We support our direct order fulfillment services with logistics that include delivery of parts and assemblies to the final assembly site, distribution and shipment of finished systems, and processing of customer returns.

We do not have any long term agreements with our customers, and our principal customers may not continue to purchase services from us. The duration of a purchase order is usually from 30 to 90 days. These purchase orders could be cancelled or rescheduled at any time. The part number, quantity,  price, workmanship standards, and scheduled delivery dates of the products to be manufactured are determined by written purchase orders given by our customers and accepted or confirmed by us in writing or via email.  We agree to deliver theproducts manufactured pursuant to each purchase order in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the purchase order. Probe manufactures hundreds of different types of assemblies on an ongoing basis and each product has a purchase order associated with it.  


We currently only focus on attracting and servicng customers in Southern California.


SALES AND MARKETING


Organization


Sales and marketing efforts are divided into segments as follows:


Industrial products

Military products

Automotive products

Communication products

Medical products

Semiconductor products


Our divisional and executive management teams are an integral part of our sales and marketing teams. We generally enter into supply arrangements with our customers. These arrangements, similar to purchase orders, generally govern the conduct of business between our customer and the company relating to, among other things, the manufacture of products which in many cases were previously produced by the customer itself. Such arrangements generally identify the specific products to be manufactured, quality and production requirements, product pricing and materials management. There can be no assurance that at any time these arrangements will remain in effect or be renewed.

      

Our key customer accounts are managed by a dedicated customer focused team, including a program manager directly responsible for account management. The program manager coordinates activities across divisions to effectively satisfy customer requirements and have direct access to our executive management to quickly address customer concerns. In addition, our executive management, including our chief executive officer, are heavily involved in customer relations and devote significant attention to broadening existing, and developing new, customer relationships.


Sales Approach




Page 8 of 43





Our selling strategy is to convince potential customers to engage Probe as an engineering and supply chain partner, rather than to simply change EMS suppliers.  To do this, we perform a full process audit on prospective customer’s operations and make recommendations for technology, quality, delivery and cost improvements.  This process has been extremely effective way to demonstrate the ways we can improve the targeted customer’s performance.


In each business segment, there is a dedicated program manager responsible for the maintenance of existing accounts and for development of new accounts.  The use of engineers for both sales and technical support tasks allows us to keep a technical advantage over its competition and to spot opportunities for improvement in the field.  


SUPPLIERS


We currently procure our materials from a limited number of distributors, thus if a shortage of various components were to occur we would be forced to seek other distributors and our cost of goods could impact our revenues.  Our main suppliers of materials include:


Arrow Electronics, Inc. is one of the world's largest distributors of electronic components and computer products and a leading provider of services to the electronics industry, with 2004 sales of $10.7 billion. Headquartered in Melville, New York, Arrow serves as a supply channel partner for more than 600 suppliers and 175,000 original equipment manufacturers, contract manufacturers, and value-added resellers through more than 200 sales facilities and 23 distribution centers in 40 countries and territories.


Future Electronics is the world’s largest distributor specializing in passive, interconnect, and electromechanical components used in commercial and military applications, and they hold the top market share for most of our product lines.  Headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas, TTI has 47 locations around the globe: 33 in North America, 11 in Europe and, most recently, 3 in Asia. From these facilities, they provide local service to customers around the world.


We currently do not have long-term agreements with our major suppliers, however, we enter into purchase order agreements.  Purchase orders are placed with suppliers based on our material requirement planning (MRP) operating system.  When we enter a sales order in our operating system Manex, it generates a list of materials for procurement to satisfy that order.  We then issue purchase orders to our suppliers with scheduled deliveries which acts as the only contractual agreements between us and our suppliers.


COMPETITION


The electronic manufacturing services industry is large, competitive and diverse, and is serviced by many companies, including several that have achieved significant market share We compete with numerous domestic and foreign EMS firms, including Benchmark Electronics, Inc.; Celestica Inc; Flextronics International Ltd.; Jabil Circuit, Inc.; Pemstar, Inc.; Plexus Corp.; Sanmina-SCI Corporation; CTS Electronics; Solectron Corporation; SMS Technologies, Inc.; Express Manufacturing, Inc., and others.  Because of our market’s size and diversity, we do not typically compete for contracts with a discreet group of competitors.  We compete with different companies depending on the type of service or geographic area.  Certain of our competitors may have greater manufacturing, financial, research and development and marketing resources.  We also face competition from current and prospective customers that evaluate our capabilities against the merits of manufacturing products internally.


COMPETITIVE POSITIONING


We believe our primary competitive advantages are our design, manufacturing, testing and supply chain management capabilities. We offer our customers flexible manufacturing solutions through out the life cycle of their products. These solutions provide accelerated time-to-market, time-to-volume production, and reduced production costs. As a result of working closely with our customers and responding promptly




Page 9 of 43



to their needs, we have become an integral part of their operations. In addition, our workforce is led by a management team that founded the company and has an average of 22 years of industry experience.


PERSONNEL


We presently employ approximately 75 employees, including production team, program management team, material management team, engineering, sales team and quality staff and administrative and management personnel.  We have never experienced work stoppages, and are not a party to any collective bargaining agreement.  See Management


REGULATORY RESTRICTIONS ON OUR BUSINESS


Our operations, and the operations of businesses that we may acquire, are subject to certain foreign, federal, state and local regulatory requirements relating to environmental, waste management, and health and safety matters. We believe we operate in substantial compliance with all applicable requirements. However, material costs and liabilities may arise from these requirements or from new, modified or more stringent requirements. Material cost may rise due to additional manufacturing cost of raw or made parts with the application of new regulations.  Our liabilities may also increase due to additional regulations imposed by foreign, federal, state and local regulatory requirements relating to environmental, waste management, and health and safety matters.  In addition, our past, current and future operations, and those of businesses we acquire, may give rise to claims of exposure by employees or the public or to other claims or liabilities relating to environmental, waste management or health and safety concerns.



ITEM  2.  DESCRIPTION  OF  PROPERTY.


Facilities


Probe currently has one manufacturing facility that is located in Costa Mesa, California.  The facility is 35,000 square feet and approximately 28,000 square feet are dedicated to the manufacturing operations and approximately 6,000 square feet are dedicated to the sales and marketing and manufacturing support, and administration operations.  We lease our 35,000 sq/ft facility for $19,790.40 from Kambiz Mahdi, Reza Zarif and Pacific Sail Bay Trust.   We believe the rental rate to be at or below market rate for similar properties in our area. Kambiz Mahdi is one of our founders and a director of ours.  Reza Zarif is our chief executive officer and a director of ours.   Pacific Sail Bay Trust is managed by Frank Kavanaugh.  Frank Kavanaugh is also the managing member of Ashford Capital, LLC, and the managing partner of Ashford Transition Fund, L.P.  Furthermore, Mr. Kavanaugh was a director of ours from July 2004 to December 2004.


In March of 2006 the owners of our building, Kambiz Mahdi, Reza Zarif and Pacific Sail Bay Trust, sold the building to an unrelated 3rd party buyer, Mitchell Fitch, LLC.  We have entered into a new agreement to lease the building from the new buyer for a period of six months at $ 30,580.00 per month or until such time we can locate a new building to lease.


ITEM  3.  LEGAL  PROCEDINGS.


As of  December 31, 2005 we have the following legal proceedings and legal settlements:

 

1.     Cadence has a judgment against us for $98,000 which was entered by the Superior Court Santa Clara County, California in September 2, 2003.  The judgment was due to lack of payment by Probe to Cadence after Probe purchased the license to use its Alegro software program.  Due to economic conditions after September 11th the market for the use of this product disappeared and Probe was not able to resale the services.  Consequently, Probe was not able to generate any revenues from reselling of the software and could not pay Cadence.  On August 9th 2004 we have entered into a payment agreement with the Cadence in which we pay them $2,500 a month until such time the debt is paid off and the balance due to Cadence under the agreement was $43,554 as of December 31, 2005.




Page 10 of 43




 

2. IFC has a judgment against us for $144,403.00 which was entered by the Superior Court Orange County, California. Judgment filed July 15, 2004.  The judgment resulted from our failure to pay IFC under the purchase agreement for a piece of X-Ray equipment. In September 2004 we entered into a settlement agreement whereby we have agreed to pay IFC $15,000 as an initial payment and $5,000 per month until settlement amount of $70,000.00 is paid in full.  The balance due as of December 31, 2005 was $5,000.00.

 

3. Canon Financial has a judgment against us for $15,000.00which was entered by the Superior Court Burlington County, New Jersey on April 1, 2004 and also entered by the Superior Court , Orange County, California June 24, 2004.  The judgment was entered because Probe did not pay the lease payments due on a copy machine which was not properly maintained by Canon and was not functional most of the time.  We have agreed to pay Canon $1000.00 per month until fully paid.  Our balance as of  December 31, 2005 was $1,000.00.

 

4. We currently owe the Internal Revenue Service $121,741.00 for past tax liabilities which we are not currently able to pay in full.  We have negotiated a settlement with the IRS and have entered into a payment plan with them in which we pay the IRS $2,500 per month. 


5. Genisis Technologies has filed a lawsuit against us, in the amount of  $37,604.00 which was filed in the Superior Court Orange County, California on December 19, 2005.  The suit was filed because Probe disputed  the outstanding balance owed (by Probe, of $21,550), which probe agreed to pay.  Genisis refused to supply backup documentation for the difference, therefore, no payments were made.  As a result, Genisis filed suit and as of April 14, 2006, no settlement has been reached.

 

While we are currently able to service any and all payment obligation to the creditors, if we are unable in the future to service any payments, anyone of the creditors may instigate foreclosure proceedings against us.  If we are unable to satisfy our obligations, we could be forced into bankruptcy.

 

We believe that there are no other claims or litigation pending, the outcome of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or operating results.  However, if litigation should arise and the company was to receive an unfavorable ruling, there is a possibility that it would have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity of the period in which the ruling occurs, or future periods.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Plan of Operation


We intend that our forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbors created by the Exchange Act. The forward-looking statements are generally accompanied by words such as “intend,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect” and other similar words and statements and variations or negatives of these words.

Such risks, uncertainties and changes in condition, significance, value and effect could cause our actual results to differ materially from our anticipated outcomes. Although we believe that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could prove inaccurate. Therefore, we can give no assurance that the results implied by these forward-looking statements will be realized. The inclusion of forward-looking information should not be regarded as a representation by our company or any other person that the future events, plans or expectations contemplated by Probe Manufacturing, Inc. will be achieved.

Overview

We provide a range of manufacturing and integrated supply chain services to companies who design and market electronic products. Our revenue is generated from sales of our services primarily to customers in the industrial, automotive, semi-conductor and medical devise manufacturers. As a result of the services we perform for our customers, we are impacted by our customer’s ability to appropriately predict market demand for their products. While we work with our customers to understand their demand needs, we are removed from the actual end-market served by our customers. Consequently, determining future trends and estimates of activity can be very difficult.

Inventory turns are calculated as the ratio of cost of material compared to the average inventory for the quarter. In fiscal 2004 due to lack of capital and no relationship with major suppliers we were forced to buy material only for kit shortages which meant higher inventory turns. During the fiscal 2005, inventory turns decreased primarily due to three factors; a) introducing new customers which means we have to purchase minimum required inventory to meet their specific requirements, b) we re-established relationships with major suppliers with line of credit and terms, where they ship material in advance of kitting and, c) we




Page 15 of 43



reinstated our Material Requirement Planning system where we plan material for production based on customer schedules and not shortages for kits.   Days sales in Backlog is calculated based on our back log divided by average daily sales during the quarter.   Days Receivables Outstanding is calculated as the ratio of average accounts receivable during the quarter compared to average daily sales for quarter. Days Payable Outstanding is calculated as the ratio of average accounts payable during the quarter compared to daily cost of sales for the quarter.

 

Plan of Operation


The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.  The Company incurred a net loss of $634,105 for the year ended December 31, 2005 and a working capital deficit of $501,461 and an accumulated deficit of $1,009,483 as of  December 31, 2005.  The ability of the Company to operate as a going concern is dependent upon its ability (1) to obtain sufficient debt and/or equity capital and/or (2) cut operating costs such that the Company can operate until such time that it resumes generating positive cash flow from operations.  

  

Management is taking the following steps to address this situation: (a) reducing operating costs by: (i) re-negotiating direct material cost with all of our suppliers, (ii) reducing direct and indirect labor cost by streamlining production lines and other operations to create more efficiency and (iii) we are also evaluating the possibility of moving into a more feasible facility with lower rent and overhead, thus reducing the break even revenue level; (b) we are negotiating to replace our lines of credit with an agreement(s) that have more attractive terms and expand borrowing capacity, as well as increasing our lines of credit with suppliers; (c) To increase revenue we’re acquiring new customers, and growing our business with existing customers.  We are also going to start charging our customers for all services rendered such as equipment programming, delivery and documentation, where in the past, we have often provided these services to our customers as part of the unit price.  (d)  Decrease inventory levels, carrying costs and better utilize our supplier lines of credit, by implementing bonded inventory levels with our major suppliers, whereby they maintain stock at there facilities and deliver “Just-in-Time”.

These result of some these activities are already evident in our 4th quarter ending December 31, 2005.  Our revenues were up by more than 20%, our cost of goods were down by 7%, and our net income from operations was up by 16% from 3rd quarter ending September 2005.

The future success of the company is likely dependent on its ability to attain additional capital to support growth and ultimately, upon its ability to continue to attain future profitable operations.  There can be no assurance that the company will be successful in obtaining such financing, or that it will continue to attain positive cash flow from operations.  The successful outcome of these or any future activities cannot be determined at this time and there is no assurance that if achieved, the company will have sufficient funds to execute their business




Page 16 of 43



plans or generate positive operating results. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result, should the company be unable to continue as a going concern.


Critical Accounting Policies

Management is required to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported when we prepare financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” to the financial statements for our for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of our financial statements. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, our accounting for contingencies, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, goodwill and intangible asset impairments, restructuring costs, and income taxes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The following critical accounting policies are impacted significantly by judgments, assumptions and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.




Page 17 of 43





 Inventory Valuation

Our inventories are stated at the lower of weighted average cost or market. Our industry is characterized by rapid technological change, short-term customer commitments and rapid changes in demand, as well as any other lower of cost or market considerations. We make provisions for estimated excess and / or obsolete inventory based on our regular reviews of inventory quantities on hand and the latest forecasts of product demand and production requirements from our customers. Our provisions for excess and obsolete inventory are also impacted by our contractual arrangements with our customers including our ability or inability to re-sell such inventory to them. If actual market conditions or our customers’ product demands are less favorable than those projected or if our customers are unwilling or unable to comply with any contractual arrangements related to excess and obsolete inventory, additional provisions may be required.


Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We evaluate the collectability of our accounts receivable based on a combination of factors. Where we are aware of circumstances that may impair a specific customer’s ability to meet its financial obligations to us, we record a specific allowance against amounts due to us and thereby reduce the net receivable to the amount we reasonably believe is likely to be collected.  If the financial condition of our customers deteriorates or if economic conditions worsen, additional allowances may be required.


Goodwill and Intangibles

The company currently has no balance in any good will or intangible assets.


Income Taxes


As of January 1, 2004, the company was considered an S Corporation For Federal and State income tax purposes, consequently there was no provision for income taxes as any income or loss was taxed to the shareholders. In May 2004, the Company issued a second class of stock, which caused a termination of the S Corporation election by operation of law. Losses incurred in 2004 subsequent to the date of the termination will be carried forward to offset future taxable income, if any.   In connection with the termination of the S-Corp election, the accumulated deficit through that point in time ($4,364,654) was transferred to additional paid in capital.


The Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS No. 109, which requires the asset and liability approach to accounting for income taxes.  Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities measured using enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when differences are expected to reverse.


Results of Operations


For the 3 months period ended December 31, 2005 we incurred a net loss of ($94,577) compared to ($283,990) for the same period in 2004.  For the 12 months period ended December 31, 2005 we incurred a net loss of ($634,105) compared to ($918,590) for the same period in 2004, compared to net losses of ($1,244,761) in 2003 and ($1,513,846) in 2002. From 2001 to 2002, we experienced a severe contraction in our business where annual net sales declined from $17.9 million in 2001 to $6.8 million in 2002.  From 2002, our net sales stabilized and remained flat through 2004.  Although, we have seen growth in our revenue in the 4th quarter 2005, our overall sales for the fiscal year 2005 remained flat.  We responded to the economic downturn by streamlining our processes and down sizing our operations from 225 employees in 2001 to 65 employees in 2004 and 2005. The down sizing combined with other restructuring and cost containment initiatives resulted in a lower cost structure from 2002 through 2004, reducing our net losses year over year. In the 4th quarter 2004 we realized one time inventory revaluation adjustment of ($155,000), this was an accrual made for excess or obsolete inventory adjustments and or write-offs completed in 2005.  We also realized a one time warranty cost adjustment of ($50,000).   In 2005 we realized a net gain from the forgiveness of debt in the amount of ($78,635).  In 2005, we also had a one time impairment loss from lease improvements ($132,403).




Page 18 of 43





In 2004, we experienced a strong net sale in 1st quarter due to increased sales from one of our major customer.  In the 1st quarter 2004, the major customer accounted for 60% of our net sales at $1.4 million.  In the second quarter, net sales from that major customer dropped by about $800,000.00 which explains the decreased net sales for 2nd quarter 2004.  In the 3rd and 4th quarter 2004 net sales to the major customer dropped by another $500,000.00  which explains the additional reduction in our net sales for the third and the 4th quarter of 2004.  Since 3rd and 4th quarter 2004 we started a sales campaign to add new customers.  Consequently, net sales increased by 33% in 1st quarter 2005 compared to 4th quarter of 2004.  Our sales grew by another 15% from the 1st qtr to the 2nd qtr of 2005. We experienced a drop in net sales in the third quarter of 2005 due to reduction of business by one major customer due to down turn in the semiconductor – Chip industry.  As we had anticipated, our net sales grew in the 4th quarter 2005 due to higher orders from existing customers and addition of new customers.  In the 4th quarter 2005, our revenues were up by about 20%, our cost of goods were down by 7%, and our net income from operations was up by 16% from 3rd quarter ending September 2005. We anticipate maintaining the same level of performance in the 1st and 2nd quarter of 2006.  We constantly adjust our operations to new sales forecast, and are anticipating profitability as our net sales grow and expenses are cut to match current revenue levels.


The following table summarizes certain items in the statements of operations as a percentage of net sales. The financial information and the discussion below should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial statements and notes thereto.

Net Sales 

Our net sales increased by 20% in three month period ending December 31, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004 due to increase in the number of customers and higher orders from existing customers.  Due to higher revenue and operational improvements, in three month period ending December 31, 2005, our cost of goods were down by 7%, and our net income from operations was up by 16% from 3rd quarter ending September 2005.    


Major Customers

Our top 5 customers accounted for approximately 85% of net sales for the twelve month ending December, 31 2005, compared to approximately 88% in the corresponding periods of fiscal 2004 due to introducing new customers.  We believe that our ability to grow depends on increasing sales to existing customers and on successfully attracting new customers. Customer contracts can be canceled and volume levels can be changed or delayed. The timely replacement of delayed, canceled or reduced orders with new business




Page 19 of 43



cannot be ensured. In addition, we cannot assume that any of our current customers will continue to utilize our services. Consequently, our results of operations may be materially adversely affected.


Gross Profit 

Gross profit  varies from period to period and is affected by a number of factors, including product mix, production efficiencies, component costs, pricing, competition, customer construction and unanticipated restructuring or inventory charges.   Our gross profit percentage was 28% in 3 month ending December 31, 2005 compare 15% in the same period in 2004 due to increased revenue and reducing our cost.  However, our gross profit percentage improved only by 2 % for the twelve month ending December 31, 2005 compared to the 2004, due to lower revenue and higher cost in the first 3 quarters of 2005.  We are anticipating gross profits of 25% for 1st 2nd quarters in 2006.

 

Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses

SG&A expenses decreased by 20%, for the three months ended December 31, 2005 compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2004.  This decrease in percentage is mainly due to higher revenue levels and lower SG&A cost in the 4th quarter of 2005.  SG&A expenses also decreased by 3% for the twelve months period ended December 31, 2005, compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2004 due to the same reasons.  We anticipate Our SG&A to remain around 25% in the 1st and 2nd quarter of 2006.


Liquidity and Capital Resources 

Cash and cash equivalents remained relatively unchanged from $40402 at December 31, 2004 to $0 at December 31, 2005. The table below, for the periods indicated, provides selected condensed consolidated cash flow information.

Net cash used in operating activities was $969,076 during the twelve months ended December 31, 2005. This was primarily due to a net loss of $634,105 (net of depreciation expense in the amount of $215,020), an increase in inventory of $603,571, and an increase in accounts receivable of $190,779, and one time impairment loss of $132 thousand.  These were offset by an increase in debt forgiveness of $78 thousand and an increase in accounts payable of $161,935. The increase in inventory levels was partly an intentional effort to improve on-time delivery and production efficiency by having appropriate stocking levels to meet customer orders and also due to increase in overall demand for product from our customers in the 4th quarter of 2005.  The increase in receivables was mainly due to increase in net sales.  


Net cash used in investing activities of $7,082 was due to the purchase of manufacturing equipment. 


Net cash provided by financing activities of $935,756 during the twelve month ended December 31, 2005 primarily consisted of the proceeds from issuance of common stock of $572,000 and borrowings under




Page 20 of 43



lines of credit of $517,000, and increase in the bank overdraft of $54,029.  These were offset by payments on capital lease obligations of $98,916, and payments on long-term debt of 109,132.

RISKS ABOUT OUR BUSINESS


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


Our audited financial statements for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 reflect a net loss of ($634,105) as compared to a net loss of (918,590) for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004.   These conditions require sufficient additional funding or alternative sources of capital to meet our working capital needs.  We currently receive capital under six different revolving lines of credit from eFund Capital Partners, LLC, Ashford Capital, LLC, Edward Lassiter, William Duncan, Rufina Paniego and the Benner Exemption Trust that allows us to draw up to $725,000 and anticipate we will continue to be able to have access to the money through the revolving lines of credit. As of December 31, 2005, we have drawn on $625,000 of our revolving credit lines and only have $100,000 left upon which to draw.  These conditions raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern if we do not acquire sufficient additional funding and/or we cannot reduce our operating costs sufficiently to meet our working capital needs.  Unless we obtain additional financing through operations, investment capital or otherwise, there is significant doubt we will be able to meet our obligations as they come due and will be unable to execute our business strategy, therefore,  we may be forced to curtail operations or may ultimately cease to exist.  


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


As of December 31, 2005, we had current liabilities of ($2,540,079). Our debt could limit our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, debt service requirements, or other purposes in the future, as needed; to plan for, or react to, changes in technology and in our business and competition; and to react in the event of an economic downturn.




Page 21 of 43





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


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


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

     

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


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


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

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


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


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


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


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


During the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 we derived approximately 30% of our revenues from customers in the industrial product sector, whose products include adhesive dispensing equipment, motion controllers; approximately 40% of our revenues from customers in the semiconductor industry, whose products include mass flow controllers, and evaluation modules for integrated circuit manufactures; approximately 19% of our revenues from providers of communications infrastructure, whose products include equipment for optical networks, cellular base stations, radio frequency devices, telephone exchange and access switches and broadband devices; approximately 3% of our revenues from the automotive industry, whose products are electronic control units for alternative fuel systems.  The remaining 8% of our revenues was derived from customers in a variety of other industries, including the medical, consumer and military industries.

     

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

Rapid changes in technology, which result in short product life cycles, often reduce the volume and market share for our customers and ultimately us. It will lead to the loss of previous design




Page 23 of 43



wins and frequent new product introductions and substantial development costs. This could result in loss of revenue and it could adversely affect our operating income.


Seasonality of demand for our customers’ products would force our customers to manage their inventories for seasonal variations and inventory management and excess build ups. Customers could dramatically increase their request for production quantities, which could cause lead time problems with getting the components or we may not be able to build enough products which could have loss of revenue for our customers. As a result we could lose these customers and it would adversely affect our projected sales. If the projected sales will not materialize, we will have loss of revenue and reduced margins.  Any cancellation or delay in production would also have the same adverse effect on our sales projections and profitability.


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


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


OUR INCREASED ORIGINAL DESIGN MANUFACTURING, OR ODM, ACTIVITY MAY REDUCE OUR PROFITABILITY.


We have recently begun providing ODM services, where we design and develop products that we then manufacture for OEM customers. We are actively pursuing ODM projects, focusing primarily on consumer related devices, such as cell phones and related products, which requires that we make investments in research and development, technology licensing, test and tooling equipment, patent applications, facility expansion and recruitment.

     

Although we enter into contracts with our ODM customers, we may design and develop products for these customers prior to receiving a purchase order or other firm commitment from them. We are required to make substantial investments in the resources necessary to design and develop these products, and no revenue may be generated from these efforts if our customers do not approve the designs in a timely manner or at all, or if they do not then purchase anticipated levels of products. In addition, ODM activities often require that we purchase inventory for initial production runs before we have a purchase commitment from a customer. Even after we have a contract with a customer with respect to an ODM product, these contracts may allow the customer to delay or cancel deliveries and may not obligate the customer to any volume of purchases. These contracts can generally be terminated by either party on short notice. There is no assurance that we will be able to maintain our current level of ODM activity at all or for an extended period of time. We continue to make investments in our ODM services, which could adversely affect our profitability through fiscal 2005 and beyond. Further, the products we design must satisfy safety and regulatory standards and some products must also receive government certifications. If we fail to timely obtain these approvals or certifications, we would be unable to sell these products, which would harm our sales, profitability and reputation.


THE SUCCESS OF OUR ODM ACTIVITY DEPENDS ON OUR ABILITY TO PROTECT OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS.


 We retain certain intellectual property rights to our ODM products. As the level of our ODM activity is increasing, the extent to which we rely on rights to intellectual property incorporated into products is increasing. Despite our efforts, we cannot be certain that the measures we have taken to prevent unauthorized use of our technology will be successful. If we are unable to protect our intellectual property




Page 24 of 43



rights, this could reduce or eliminate the competitive advantages of our proprietary technology, which would harm our business.


INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT CLAIMS AGAINST US OR OUR CUSTOMERS COULD HARM OUR ODM BUSINESS.


Our ODM products often face competition from the products of OEMs, many of whom may own the intellectual property rights underlying those products. As a result, we could become subject to claims of intellectual property infringement as the number of our competitors increases. In addition, customers for our ODM services typically require that we indemnify them against the risk of intellectual property infringement. If any claims are brought against us or our customers for such infringement, whether or not these have merit, we could be required to expend significant resources in defense of such claims. In the event of such an infringement claim, we may be required to spend a significant amount of money to develop non-infringing alternatives or obtain licenses. We may not be successful in developing such alternatives or obtaining such a license on reasonable terms or at all.


OUR ODM PRODUCTS CURRENTLY COMPETE WITH CURRENT AND PROSPECTIVE PRODUCTS OF OUR OEM CUSTOMERS WHICH COULD PROVOKE OUR CUSTOMERS TO CEASE ITS BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP WITH US AND WE MAY INCUR SIGNIFICANT LOSES AS A RESULT.


Flexibility and time to market are now forcing our OEM customers to turn to us for Outside Design Manufacturing (ODM) services. As a result we could begin to compete with our OEMs products.  Some of these customers could terminate their relationship with us and seek an injunction against us or future of their underlying technology in our ODM product, which could result in loss of these customers and loss of revenue for Probe.

Furthermore, if we continue to produce our ODM products we could also face allegations of patent infringement and trademark infringement by our customers. In the event of an infringement claim against us, we would absorb substantial costs in defending the claim and if we lose we have to pay the amount of any resulting adverse final judgment against us or settlement. This could have an adverse effect on our business both with our profitability and reputation in the market.

IF OUR ODM PRODUCTS ARE SUBJECT TO NON-COMPLIANCE, OUR BUSINESS MAY BE DAMAGED AND WE MAY INCUR SIGNIFICANT FEES.


In our contracts with our ODM customers, we generally provide them with a warranty against non-compliance in our designs. If an ODM product or component that we design is found to be non-compliant in its design, this may lead to increased warranty claims. Although we have product liability insurance coverage, this is expensive and may not be available on acceptable terms, in sufficient amounts, or at all. A successful product liability claim in excess of our insurance coverage or any material claim for which insurance coverage was denied or limited and for which indemnification was not available could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.


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


Sales to our five largest customers have represented a significant percentage of our net sales in recent periods. Our five largest customers accounted for approximately 79% of net sales during the twelve months ended December 31, 2005.

     

Our principal customers have varied from year to year, and our principal customers may not continue to purchase services from us at current levels, if at all. Significant reductions in sales to any of these




Page 25 of 43



customers, or the loss of major customers, would seriously harm our business. If we are not able to timely replace expired, canceled or reduced contracts with new business, our revenues could be harmed.

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

We do not have any long term agreements with our customers, and our principal customers may not continue to purchase services from us. The duration of a purchase order is usually from 30 to 90 days. These purchase orders could be cancelled or rescheduled at any time. Significant reductions in sales to any of these customers would reduce our projected sales, adversely affect our profits, and seriously harm our business.

Our top five customers include, Celerity Group, Newport Corporation, Asymtek Corporation, Jetline Engineering, and Apogee.

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


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


WE ARE SUBJECT TO ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE RISKS AND UNEXPECTED COSTS THAT WE MAY INCUR WITH RESPECT TO ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS MAY RESULT IN ADDITIONAL LOSS CONTINGENCIES, THE QUANTIFICATION OF WHICH CANNOT BE DETERMINED AT THIS TIME.

  

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

WE ARE EXPOSED TO FLUCTUATIONS IN FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATES BECAUSE WE PROCURE PRODUCTS FROM SUPPLIERS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES AND AS A RESULT OF THE VOLATILITY IN THE EXCHANGE RATES BETWEEN THE FOREIGN CURRENCIES AND THE FUNCTIONAL CURRENCIES OF OUR ENTITIES COULD SERIOUSLY HARM OUR BUSINESS, OPERATING RESULTS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION.


We transact business in various foreign countries because we procure products from suppliers in foreign countries. As a result, we are exposed to fluctuations in foreign currencies. We have currency exposure arising from both sales and purchases denominated in currencies other than the functional currencies of our entities. Volatility in the exchange rates between the foreign currencies and the functional currencies of our entities could seriously harm our business, operating results and financial condition. These exposures are primarily, but not limited to, cash, receivables, payables and inter-company balances, in currencies other than the functional currency unit of the operating entity. Foreign exchange forward contracts are treated as cash flow hedges and such contracts generally expire within three months.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Probe Manufacturing, Inc. as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years then ended.  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 audit 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Probe Manufacturing, Inc., as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company’s recurring losses from operations and its difficulties in generating sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations and sustain its operations raise substantial doubt about its 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.

PROBE MANUFACTURING, INC.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2005


Notes 1- GENERAL


The Company


Probe Manufacturing Industries, Inc. was incorporated on July 7, 1995. On April 21, 2005, the Company was re-domiciled from California to Nevada and changed its name to Probe Manufacturing, Inc.  Probe Manufacturing, Inc. (the “Company” or “Probe”) is a leading provider of advanced electronics manufacturing services, or EMS, to original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, primarily in the industrial and instrumentation, communication, semiconductor, automotive, medical, and military segments. This includes globally integrated end to end manufacturing solutions ranging from engineering printed circuit card assembly, cable assembly, enclosures, complete system integration and test, as well as global order fulfillment.


Going Concern


The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.  The Company incurred a net loss of $634,105 for the Year ended December 31, 2005 and a working capital deficit of $501,461 and an accumulated deficit of $1,009,483 as of December 31, 2005, The ability of the Company to operate as a going concern is dependent upon its ability (1) to obtain sufficient debt and/or equity capital and/or (2) cut operating costs such that the Company can operate until such time that it resumes generating positive cash flow from operations.

 

Management is taking the following steps to address this situation: (a) reducing operating costs by: (i) re-negotiating direct material cost with all of our suppliers, (ii) reducing direct and indirect labor cost by streamlining production lines and other operations to create more efficiency and (iii) we are also evaluating the possibility of moving into a more feasible facility with lower rent and overhead, thus reducing the break even revenue level; (b) we are negotiating to replace our lines of credit with an agreement(s) that have more attractive terms and expand borrowing capacity, as well as increasing our lines of credit with suppliers; (c) To increase revenue we’re acquiring new customers, and growing our business with existing customers.  We’re also going to start charging our customers for all services rendered such as equipment programming, delivery and documentation, where in the past, we have often provided these services to our customers as part of the unit price.  (d)  Decrease inventory levels, carrying costs and better utilize our supplier lines of credit, by implementing bonded inventory levels with our major suppliers, whereby they maintain stock at there facilities and deliver “Just-in-Time”.

The future success of the Company is likely dependent on its ability to attain additional capital to support growth and ultimately, upon its ability to attain future profitable operations.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining such financing, or that it will attain positive cash flow from operations.  The successful outcome of these or any future activities cannot be determined at this time and there is no assurance that if achieved, the Company will have sufficient funds to execute their business plans or generate positive operating results. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.




F-6



NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

The Company follows United States generally accepted accounting principles. Certain of the principles involve selection among alternatives and choices of methods, which are described in the footnotes to the Companies audited consolidated financial statements.  Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2004 balance sheet and notes to be consistent with the 2005 presentation.  The new balance sheet presentation is more consistent with other companies in similar lines of business.


Cash and Cash Equivalents


The Company maintains the majority of its cash accounts at a commercial bank. The total cash balance is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $100,000 per commercial bank. For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all cash and highly liquid investments with initial maturities of one year or less to be cash equivalents.


Table of Contents

Estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates may be materially different from actual financial results. Significant estimates include the recoverability of long-lived assets, the collectibility of accounts receivable and valuation if inventory and reserves.


Accounts Receivable


The Company grants credit to its customers within the United States of America and does not require collateral. The Company’s ability to collect receivables is affected by economic fluctuations in the geographic areas and industries served by the Company.


Reserves for un-collectable amounts are provided, based on past experience and a specific analysis of the accounts, which management believes are sufficient. Although the Company expects to collect amounts due, actual collections may differ from the estimated amounts. As of December 31, 2005, the Company has a reserve of $33,133.


Five (5) customers accounted for approximately 92% of accounts receivable at December 31, 2005.  The Company’s trade accounts primarily represent unsecured receivables.  Historically, the Company’s bad debt write-offs related to these trade accounts have been insignificant.


Inventory


Inventories are valued at the lower of weighted average cost or market value.   Our Industry experiences changes in technology, changes in market value and availability of the raw materials, as well as changing customer demand.  The Company makes provisions for estimated excess and obsolete inventories based on regular audits and cycle counts of our on-hand inventory levels and forecasted customer demands and at times additional provisions are made.  As of December 31, 2005, the Company had a reserve of $229,000.


Property and Equipment


Property and equipment, including renewals and betterments, are stated at cost. Assets held under capital leases are recorded at lease inception at the lower of the present value of the minimum lease payments or the fair market value of the related assets.  The Company follows the practice of capitalizing property and equipment purchased over $1,250.  The cost of ordinary maintenance and repairs is charged to operations while renewals and replacements are capitalized.  Depreciation and amortization are computed on the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from three to twenty years, and are as follows:


Furniture and fixtures

3 to 7 years

Equipment

7 to 10 years

Vehicles

5 years

Leasehold improvements

(estimated life of the lease)

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: (Continued)


Long –Lived Assets


The Company’s management assesses the recoverability of its long-lived assets by determining whether the depreciation and amortization of long lived assets over their remaining lives can be recovered through projected undiscounted future cash flows. The amount of long lived asset impairment if any, is measured based on fair value and is charged to operations in the period in which long lived assets impairment is determined by management. At December 31, 2005, the Company wrote off as an impairment expense, the value of leasehold improvements to the estimated remaining useful life of nine months and believes there is no other impairment of its long-lived assets. There can be no assurance however, that market conditions will not change or demand for the Company’s services will continue, which could result in impairment of long-lived assets in the future.


Revenue Recognition


Revenue from product and services are recognized at the time goods are shipped or services are provided to the customer, with an appropriate provision for returns and allowances. Terms are generally FOB Origination with the right of inspection and acceptance. The company has not experienced a material amount of rejected or damaged product.


Fair Value of Financial Instruments


The carrying amount of accounts payable and accrued expenses are considered to be representative of their respective fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

Other Comprehensive Income

The Company has no material components of other comprehensive income (loss) and accordingly, net loss is equal to comprehensive loss in all periods.


Net Loss Per Common Share


Basic loss per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. For the period ended December 31, 2005, all of the Company's common stock equivalents were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per common share because they were anti-dilutive, due to the Company's net loss in that year. At December 31, 2005 there were warrants outstanding to purchase 2,321,250 common shares which may dilute future earnings per share. At December 31, 2005 there were 12,500 shares of Preferred B outstanding which would convert to 1,562,500 common shares which may dilute future earnings per share.  At December 31, 2005 there were 440 shares of Preferred A outstanding which would convert to 5,690,923 common shares which may dilute future earnings per share.



Segment Information


The Corporation operates primarily in a single operating segment, providing printed circuit boards and electronic assemblies.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: (Continued)


Stock Based Compensation


SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS No. 123’) allows an entity to elect to continue to measure compensation cost under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB No. 25”), but requires pro forma disclosures of net loss and loss per share as if the fair-valued-based method of accounting had been applied.  In accordance with SFAS 123, the Company elected to continue to measure compensation cost under APB No. 25, and comply with the pro forma disclosure requirements.


The Company has adopted for footnote disclosure purposes SFAS No. 123, which requires that companies disclose the cost of stock-based employee compensation at the grant date based on the value of the award (the fair value method) and disclose this cost over the service period.  The value of the stock-based award is determined using a pricing model whereby compensation cost is the excess of the fair value of the award as determined by the model at grant date or other measurement date over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock.


Transactions in which goods or services are received from non-employees for the issuance of equity securities or stock-based awards are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received.  


Income Taxes


As of January 1, 2004, the company was considered an S Corporation For Federal and State income tax purposes, consequently there was no provision for income taxes as any income or loss was taxed to the shareholders. In May 2004, the Company issued a second class of stock, which caused a termination of the S Corporation election by operation of law. Losses incurred in 2004 subsequent to the date of the termination will be carried forward to offset future taxable income, if any.   In connection with the termination of the S-Corp election, the accumulated deficit through that point in time ($4,364,654) was transferred to additional paid in capital.


The Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS No. 109, which requires the asset and liability approach to accounting for income taxes.  Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities measured using enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when differences are expected to reverse.

NOTE 5 – LINE OF CREDIT


The Company had a revolving line of credit (the “Line”) with a financial institution, which allowed them to borrow a maximum of $1,100,000 based on 80% of eligible accounts receivable, as defined.  Borrowings under the Line, bore interest at prime (4.25% plus 10.5% per annum) were secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets and are personally guaranteed by the stockholders.  In March 2004 the Line was restructured into a term loan in the amount of $500,000. Terms of the Note were: (1) monthly installment payments of $5,000, (2) interest at the rate of 4% plus the prime rate by the agent  (3) secured by accounts receivable (4) with a discount provision of $200,000 after timely payments of the first $300,000.  In December 2004, the note was restructured into a new line of credit and discounted by $200,000. This new line of credit allows the Company to borrow a maximum of $100,000 based on 80% of eligible accounts receivables, payable in monthly installments of $5,000 plus interest at the rate of 4% plus the prime-lending rate.  As of December 31, 2005, the Company had borrowed $77,838.


 The Company has an additional unsecured line of credit in the amount of $775,000.  Borrowings under the Line of credit bear interest at the rate of 20% (12% paid in cash and 8% paid in common stock in the company) per annum.   As of December 31, 2005 the Company had an outstanding balance against this line of credit in the amount of $655,000.  


NOTE 6 - CAPITAL LEASE OBLIGATIONS


The Company is a lessee of certain equipment under capital leases that expire on various dates through April 2008.  Terms of the original leases call for monthly payments ranging from $314 to $9,163, at implicit rates of interest ranging from 8.6% to 25.0% per annum (the incremental borrowing rate).  Subsequently, the remaining leases were negotiated to settled amounts and carry no provisions for interest. The assets and liabilities under capital leases are recorded at lease inception at the lower of the present value of the minimum lease payments or the fair market value of the related assets.  The assets are depreciated over their estimated useful lives.


Minimum future lease payments under current lease agreements at December 31, 2005 are as follows:

NOTE 12 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements Issued, Not Adopted


In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No 151, Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter.  This statement amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, Inventory Pricing, to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling cost, and wasted material (spoilage).  Paragraph 5 of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, previously stated that “. under some circumstances, items such as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight, and rehandling costs may be so abnormal as to require treatment as current period charges.”  SFAS No. 151 requires that those items be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of “so abnormal.”  In addition, this statement requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the prospectively and are effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005, with earlier application permitted for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after the date this Statement was issued.  The adoption of SFGAS No. 151 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.


In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No 123(R)(revised 2004), Share-Based Payment” which amends FASB Statement No. 123 and will be effective for public companies for interim or annual periods after June 15, 2005.  The new standard will require entities to expense employee stock options and other share-based payments.  The new standard may be adopted in one of three ways – the modified prospective transition method, a variation of the modified prospective transition method or the modified retrospective transition method.  The Company is evaluation how it will adopt the standard and evaluating the effect that the adoption of SFAS 123(R) will have on our financial position and results of operations.


In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No.153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29.  The guidance in APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions, is based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of assets exchanged.  The guidance in that Opinion, however, included certain exceptions to that principle.  This Statement amends Opinion 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets that do not have commercial substance.  A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange.  SFAS No. 153 is effective for nonmonetary exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005.  The adoption of SFAS No. 153 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.


In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations” (“FIN 47”). FIN 47 provides guidance relating to the identification of and financial reporting for legal obligations to perform an asset retirement activity. The Interpretation requires recognition of a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation when incurred if the liability’s fair value can be reasonably estimated. FIN 47 also defines when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation. The provision is effective no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. The Company will adopt FIN 47 beginning the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 and does not believe the adoption will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 12 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements Issued, Not Adopted – Continued


In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections" ("SFAS 154") which replaces Accounting Principles Board Opinions No. 20 "Accounting Changes" and SFAS No. 3, "Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements-An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 28." SFAS 154 provides guidance on the accounting for and reporting of accounting changes and error corrections. It establishes retrospective application, or the latest practicable date, as the required method for reporting a change in accounting principle and the reporting of a correction of an error. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and a correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005 and is required to be adopted by the Company in the first quarter of 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of SFAS 154 will have on its results of operations and financial condition but does not expect it to have a material impact.


In June 2005, the Emerging Issues Task Force, or EITF, reached a consensus on Issue 05-6, Determining the Amortization Period for Leasehold Improvements, which requires that leasehold improvements acquired in a business combination or purchased subsequent to the inception of a lease be amortized over the lesser of the useful life of the assets or a term that includes renewals that are reasonably assured at the date of the business combination or purchase.

This transaction is no less favorable than if the company had entered into it on an arms length basis with an unrelated third party because the Company was not aware of any other creditors willing to provide a loan for 20% or less interest. There is currently an outstanding balance of $140,000 as of June 30 2005.  Edward Lassiter is a shareholder of the Company and holds his shares in The Edward & Mildred Lassiter Restated Family Trust and The Edward & Mildred Lassiter Restated Family Trust dated April 14, 2000.  Mr. Lassiter currently holds 312,500 shares of the Company’s common stock, which is 9% of the outstanding shares of common stock.  Total payments made during the 12 months ended December 31, 2005 consisted of $0 in principal and $5,144.11 in interest and $1,507.95 in common stock with accrued interest payable of  $4,909.82 at December 31, 2005.

THE  BOARD  OF  DIRECTORS  PRE-APPROVAL  POLICY  AND  PROCEDURES


We  do not have a separate Audit Committee. Our full Board of Directors performs the  functions  of  an  Audit  Committee.  During fiscal year 2005, the Board of Directors  adopted  policies  and  procedures  for the pre-approval of audit and non-audit  services  for  the  purpose  of  maintaining  the independence of our independent  auditors.  We may not engage our independent auditors to render any audit  or  non-audit service unless either the service is approved in advance by the  Board  of Directors or the engagement to render the service is entered into pursuant  to the Board of Director's pre-approval policies and procedures. On an annual  basis, the Board of Directors may pre-approve services that are expected to be provided to us by the independent auditors during the following 12 months. At  the  time  such  pre-approval  is  granted,  the Board of Directors must (1) identify the particular pre-approved services in a sufficient level of detail so that  management  will  not  be  called  upon  to  make judgment as to whether a proposed  service  fits  within  the  pre-approved  services and (2) establish a monetary limit with respect to each particular pre-approved service, which limit may  not  be  exceeded  without obtaining further pre-approval under the policy.


The  Board  has considered whether the provision of the services described above under  the caption "All Other Fees" is compatible with maintaining the auditor's independence.
