PART I


ITEM 1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.


Probe Manufacturing Industries, Inc. was incorporated on July 7, 1995. On April 21, 2005, the Company was re-domiciled from California to Nevada, and changed its name to Probe Manufacturing, Inc.  We provide a range of engineering, manufacturing and integrated supply chain services at affordable prices to companies who design and market electronic products, Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM). Currently, our revenue is generated from sales of our services primarily to customers in the medical devise, aerospace, alternative fuel and industrial products manufacturers. The Company provides OEMs with lowest cost of ownership, flexibility, and quality that improves their competitive advantage. The services that we provide are commonly referred to as Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS). Probe's EMS offerings include new product introduction, collaborative design, procurement and materials management, product manufacturing, product warranty repair, and end-of-life su pport.  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 an Engine Control Unit (ECU) for a customer which is used in 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 then delivered to the end customer.


The majority of our revenue is driven from manufacturing a mix of complex Printed Circuit Board Assemblies (PCBA), and box build assemblies.  Some of the examples of our customer’s finished goods products includes Medical devices such as ventilators, electronic control units that help vehicles run on natural gas or hydrogen, electronic control units for welding equipment, control units for electric-hybrid drives, portable ultrasound and electro-simulation therapy equipment, fluid control units for airliners, and hailing devices for defense industry.



We believe that the EMS industry will continue to grow, driven largely by the needs of OEMs to respond to rapidly changing markets and technologies and to reduce product costs. Additionally, we believe that there are significant opportunities for EMS providers to win additional business from OEMs in certain markets or industry segments that have yet to substantially utilize EMS providers.


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.  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 sup port and global supply chain management.   Outsourcing demand for advanced manufacturing capabilities, design and engineering services and after-market services continues to grow rapidly. This demand continues to increase for several reasons, including the intensely competitive nature of the electronics industry, the continually increasing complexity and sophistication of electronics products, pressure on OEMs to reduce product costs, and shorter product life cycles. As a result, the number of OEMs that utilize EMS providers as part of their business and manufacturing strategies continues to increase. Utilizing EMS providers allows OEMs to take advantage of the global design, manufacturing and supply chain management expertise of EMS providers, and enables OEMs to concentrate on product research, development, marketing and sales.  We believe that OEMs realize the following benefits through their strategic relationships with EMS providers:

Table of Contents                                                                                                        Financial Statements         


• Reduce Operating Costs and Capital Investment. In the competitive global market, 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 Inventory 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 redu ce 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


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, 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 fro m product introduction to production.

SALES AND MARKETING


Sales and marketing efforts are divided into segments as follows:


·

Medical Device Manufacturing

·

Aerospace-Defense

·

Alternative fuel-Automotive

·

Industrial


Our divisional and executive management teams are an integral part of our sales and marketing teams. We may enter into Manufacturing Services Agreements with our customers. These agreements, 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 agreements will remain in effect or be renewed.

      

Our 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 is heavily involved in customer relations and devotes significant attention to broadening existing, and developing new customer relationships.


Partnership Approach

Our partnership strategy is to convince potential customers to engage Probe as a total solution to their product life cycle and inventory management.  To do this, we review our customer designs for manufacturability and test, and make recommendations for technology, quality, delivery and cost improvements.  We use our customers forecast only for planning and execute production only upon consumption.  This will maintain inventory at its lowest value point.  We also review our customer’s processes to identify value added processes, and reduce redundancies.  This process has been effective way of integrating our process to customer’s needs; and has resulted in improving our customer’s performance.



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.  Our major suppliers often carry inventory for us and will ship upon Auto Release mechanism.

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 environm ental, waste management or health and safety concerns.




ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS


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.


The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.  Although, the Company had a net profit of $374,896, generated $668,293 in net cash from operations and improved their total stockholders deficit by $472,433 for the year ended December 31, 2007; however, we still had a working capital deficit of $(174,657) and a shareholder deficit of $(273,030) as of December 31, 2007. Therefore the ability of the Company to operate as a going concern is still dependent upon its ability (1) to obtain sufficient debt and/or equity capital and/or (2) to continue generating positive cash flow from operations.


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


As of December 31, 2007, we had current liabilities of $1,860,002. Our debt could limit our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, debt service requirements, or other purposes in the future, as needed; to plan for, or react to, changes in technology and in our business and competition; and to react in the event of an economic downturn.


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

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 , 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 in the aggregate, beneficially own more than 50% our outstanding common stock on a fully diluted basis. 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  SERVICE AND ATTEMPT TO OBTAIN THE MAJORITY OF OUR 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 service, attempt to solicit new, and direct majority of 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, MEDICAL DEVICES, AEROSPACE-DEFENSE, ALTERNATIVE FUEL TECHNOLOGIES, 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 3 2007, we derived approximately 36%  of our revenue from customers in the Medical Device Manufacturing, 22%  Industrial Products, 14% from customers in the Semiconductor industry, 14% from customers in Alternative Fuel, and 14% from customers in aerospace/Defense 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 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.

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 64% of net sales during the twelve months ended December 31, 2007.

     

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 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 360 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.

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. Although a number of companies in our industry have implemented workforce reductions, there remains substantial competition for highly skilled employees.


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.

This consisted of Base rent of $24,068 and additional operating expenses of $6,512. The rental agreement expired on September 10, 2006.


On September 11, 2006 we entered into a sublease agreement for 10,000 sq ft. manufacturing space which includes office space with Quantum Fuel System Technologies Worldwide, Inc. The initial lease is for two years with an option to renew for three years at $8,027 per month. The new facility is located at 25242 Arctic Ocean Drive, Lake Forest, CA 92630


ITEM  3.  LEGAL PROCEDINGS.


The Company may be involved from time to time in various claims, lawsuits, and disputes with third parties, action involving allegations or discrimination or breach of contract actions incidental in the normal operations of the business.  


As of December 31, 2007 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 resell the services.  Consequently, Probe was not able to generate any revenues from reselling of the software and was unable pay Cadence.  On August 9th 2004 we 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.  As of December 31, 2006 the balance due to Cadence under the agreement was $8,853.   This was paid in full in April 2007.

 

We believed this settlement was paid in full; however on March 13, 2008 a Notice of Levy was filed against the Company for $26,840 claimed by Cadence Design Systems, Inc.  The Company, however, believes the Notice of Levy was not filed in good faith since the Company and Cadence entered into a settlement agreement on November 29, 2004 and Probe has paid in full the balance due under the settlement agreement.  Probe is currently in the process of seeking resolution to this matter, however, no favorable resolution can be guaranteed.  Management believes that their claim is without merit.


2. We currently owe the Internal Revenue Service $56,152 for past tax liabilities.  We negotiated a settlement with the IRS and have entered into a payment plan with them in which we pay the IRS $3,000 per month.  All payments to date are current.  The balance is included in other long-term debt, with $36,000 included in the current portion of long-term debt.


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.

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. Our forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, forecasts and assumptions and are subject to risks, uncertainties and changes in condition, significance, value and effect, including those discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in this report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 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. We disclaim any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements contained in the documents incorporated by reference herein, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.



Overview

Probe Manufacturing, Inc. was founded in 1995, and is one of Southern California's highest quality Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) companies. We provide a range of quality manufacturing and integrated supply chain services at affordable prices to companies who design and market electronic products, Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM). Currently, our revenue is generated from sales of our services primarily to customers in the medical devise, aerospace, alternative fuel and industrial products manufacturers. The Company provides OEMs with lowest cost of ownership, flexibility, and quality that improves their competitive advantage. Probe's EMS offerings include new product introduction, collaborative design, materials management, product manufacturing, product warranty repair, and end-of-life support. Because our core business is a service company, we’re impacted by our customer’s ability to appropriately predict market dema nd 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 to determine future trends and estimates of activity can be very difficult. To provide for long term sustainability, the Company is in the process of leveraging its manufacturing and commercializing competencies combined with product knowledge to develop its own propriety products for alternative energy technologies to enable vehicles and generators to operate on clean alternative fuels. Probe Manufacturing's headquarters are located in Lake Forest, California.

Plan of Operations:

Company had a net profit of $374,896, generated $668,293 in net cash from operations and improved their total stockholders deficit by $472,433 for the year ended December 31, 2007.  However, they still had a working capital deficit of $(174,657) and a total shareholder deficit of $(273,030) as of December 31, 2007. Therefore the ability of the Company to operate as a going concern is still dependent upon its ability (1) to obtain sufficient debt and/or equity capital and/or (2) to continue generating positive cash flow from operations.


Management is taking the following steps to address this situation: (a) to continue improving operational efficiencies by: (i) re-negotiating direct material cost with all of our suppliers, (ii) by setting up Managed inventory Solutions, such as bonded inventory levels and auto-release programs with our major suppliers, whereby they maintain stock at their facilities and deliver “Just-in-Time”.  This will improve the utilization of our line of credits with suppliers and maintains inventory at its lowest value point; however from time to time inventory levels may increase temporarily, due to scheduling issues and acquisition of new customers and/or products;  (iii) by improving all systems and processes across operations and streamlining production lines; (b) we have refinanced our lines of credit with agreement(s) that have more attractive terms, as well as increased our credit lines with suppliers ; (c) To increase revenue; (i) we are acquiring new customers that are a better fit for us, (ii) and we are  growing the business with our existing customers with offering more value added; and finally (iii) we’re focusing on more stable customer base such as medical device, aerospace, and alternative fuel industries that have a better chance of  maintaining their manufacturing in Southern California instead of moving it to low cost and offshore regions;  (e)  to ensure long term sustainability of the Company, we’re allocating more resources to develop propriety technology within the alternative energy industry while continuing to operate our EMS business.

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

Critical 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 Company’s reviewed financial statements.  


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.


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 of inventory and reserves.

Table of Contents                                                                                                        Financial Statements         



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.  Although the Company expects to collect amounts due, actual collections may differ from the estimated amounts. As of December 31 2007, the Company had a reserve for potentially un-collectable accounts of $35,212.


Five (5) customers accounted for approximately 73% of accounts receivable at December 31 2007.  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.  Any inventory write offs are charged to the reserve account. As of December 31, 2007, the Company had   a reserve for potentially obsolete inventory of $300,491.


Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Assets held under capital leases are recorded at lease inception at the lower of the present value of the minimum lease payments or the fair market value of the related assets.  The Company follows the practice of capitalizing property and equipment purchased over $5000.  The cost of ordinary maintenance and repairs is charged to operations. Depreciation and amortization are computed on the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives of the related assets are as follows:


Furniture and fixtures

3 to 7 years

Equipment

7 to 10 years

Leasehold improvements

2 years (life of the lease)


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. 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.

Segment Information      

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


Income Taxes

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. The net profit for the year ended, December 31, 2007 of $396,816 is offset by previous losses.  As of December 31, 2007 the Company had a net operating loss carry forward of $(483,693). The Company has not booked any deferred tax asset as a result.


Research and Development:

To ensure long term sustainability and growth of the company we have started research and development towards growth markets of the future by investing in alternative energy technologies.  While we continue to operate our Electronics Manufacturing business, we are now directing more resources towards developing technologies in the alternative energy industry.  Our alternative energy research and development is focused on the alternative fuel industry as defined by the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (EPAct) including ethanol, natural gas, propane, hydrogen, bio-diesel, electricity and methanol. These fuels are being used worldwide in a variety of vehicle and power generator applications. We believe three independent market factors; economics, energy security/independence and environmental concerns are driving the growth of alternative energy technologies today and will in the foreseeable future. 


Research and Development Costs incurred in association with the alternative fuels technology development (which include salaries and equipment) are expensed as incurred.  We expensed $138,552 in R&D during the twelve months ended December 30 2007. We acquired a 125 kW natural gas distributed power generator and are currently converting it to run on Hydrogen fuel.  Once the conversion is completed, we are planning on validation testing for performance; and later for emission.  Emission testing will require additional funding.  This distributed power generator will have near zero carbon based emission and very low NOx emissions.  When completed, this hydrogen-fueled internal combustion engine will address two major needs:  power and near-zero emissions.  These engines serve as replacement engines for the industrial user who has been dependent upon a manufacturer of traditional gasoline or diesel-fuele d industrial engines.  Our second research and development project involves an Engine Control Unit (ECU) to help convert gasoline cars to run on natural gas.  The Solaris project is in prototype stages, and will be 100% Probe’s proprietary technology.  Once completed this functionally advanced Electronics Controller Units (ECU) can operate under the hood, and will be appropriately priced for different vehicle type and markets.

Stock Based Compensation   

The company has adopted the use of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS No. 123R), which supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and its related implementation guidance and eliminates the alternative to use Opinion 25’s intrinsic value method of accounting that was provided in Statement 123 as originally issued. This Statement requires an entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of an equity instruments, which includes grants of stock options and stock warrants, based on the fair value of the award, measured at the grant date, (with limited exceptions). Under this standard, the fair value of each award is estimated on the grant date, using an option-pricing model that meets certain requirements. We use the Black- Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of our equity awards, includ ing stock options and warrants. The Black-Scholes model meets the requirements of SFAS No. 123R; however the fair values generated may not reflect their actual fair values, as it does not consider certain factors, such as vesting requirements, employee attrition and transferability limitations. The Black-Scholes model valuation is affected by our stock price and a number of assumptions, including expected volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. We estimate the expected volatility and estimated life of our stock options at grant date based on historical Volatility; however, due to the thinly traded nature of our stock, we have chosen to use an average of the annual volatility of like companies in our industry. For the “risk-free interest rate”, we use the Constant Maturity Treasury rate on 90 day government securities. The term is equal to the time until the option expires. The dividend yield is not applicable, as the company has not paid any dividends, nor do we anticipate paying them in the foreseeable future. The fair value of our restricted stock is based on the market value of our free trading common stock, on the grant date calculated using a 20 trading day average. At the time of grant, the share based-compensation expense is recognized in our financial statements based on awards that are ultimately expected to vest using historical employee attrition rates and the expense is reduced accordingly.  It is also adjusted to account for the restricted and thinly traded nature of the shares.  The expense is reviewed and adjusted in subsequent periods if actual attrition differs from those estimates. We re-evaluate the assumptions used to value our share-based awards on a quarterly basis and if changes warrant different assumptions, the share-based compensation expense could vary significantly from the amount expensed in the past. We may be required to adjust any remaining share-based compensation expense, based on any additions, cancellations or adjust ments to the share based awards. The expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award—the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service.   For the year ended December 31, 2007 we recognized $97,537 of share based compensation which included $21,920 of expense, due to the issuance of our options and warrants, we also had $24,770 in non-vested expense to be recognized over the next three years.

Net Sales 

For the year ended December 31, 2007 our revenue decreased by 26% to $6,882,302 compared to $9,310,464 in the same period in 2006.   The decrease in revenue was the result of disengaging some of our old customers and acquiring new ones.  We expect higher revenues as our new customer base becomes fully engaged and grows its business with us.  

Major Customers

Our top 5 customers accounted for approximately 64% of our net sales for the year ended December 31 2007 compared to 86%, 85%, and 88% for the same period in 2006, 2005 and 2004 respectively. In addition, the top 3 customer concentration was reduced to 49% for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to 69%, 78% and 79% in the same period in 2006, 2005 and 2004 respectively.  Over the last couple of years, we have changed our customer base from primarily semiconductor, industrial, and communication industries to medical device manufacturing, aero-space/defense and clean energy industries.  We believe that our ability to grow our core business depends on increasing sales to existing customers, and on successfully attracting new customers. Customer contracts can be canceled and volume levels can be changed or delayed based on our customer’s performance and the end users’ markets which we have no control over. The timely repla cement of delayed, canceled or reduced orders with new business cannot be ensured. In addition, we cannot assume that any of our current customers will continue to utilize our services. Consequently, our results of operations may be materially adversely affected.


Gross Profit 

For the year ended December 31, 2007 our gross profits increased to 26% from 25%, 22% and 20% in the same period in 2006, 2005 and 2004 respectively.   This improvement is primarily due to improved operational efficiencies.   Our gross profits could vary from period to period and is affected by a number of factors, including product mix, production efficiencies, component availability and costs, pricing, competition, customer requirements and unanticipated restructuring or inventory charges.

In May 2006, we issued 500,000 shares of common stock, valued at $.10 ($50,000) to our Board of Directors for services; in March 2007, we paid a one time charge of $37K in late fees and payments to terminate our lease from Costa Mesa facility.  Both of these expenses were booked under SG&A expense.  


Net Income/ (Loss) from operations

For the year ended December 31, 2007, our net income from operations was 3% compared to 4% in 2006, and net losses of (7%) and (12%) for the same period ending 2005 and 2004 respectively.

On July 9, 1997 and December 21, 1997, the Company entered into two lease agreements, with Crocker capital, which subsequently assigned the leases to The CIT Group.  In September 2004 the Company had outstanding balances of $457,604 and $556,293 on the two leases and was unable to make the monthly lease payments. As a result, the Company entered into a forbearance agreement with The CIT Group, with monthly payments of $7,500 and an early payment schedule as follows:


The CIT Group would release the Company and its guarantors if one of the following payments were made, less the total of all monthly payments made to that date:


$375,000 if paid by October 25 , 2004

$425,000 if paid by December 25, 2004

$500,000 if paid by June 25, 2005

$550,000 if paid by December 25, 2005

$600,000 if paid by June 25, 2006

$650,000 if paid by December 25, 2006

$700,000 if paid by June 25, 2007


On June 1, 2007 an amended forbearance agreement was entered into:


1)

In consideration of CIT entering into this Addendum, Probe will pay CIT the sum of $7,500 on or before June 25, 2007, which was paid.

2)

Recital B is amended to state that as of June 25, 2007 Probe’s payment obligation to CIT totals $457,500.

3)

Section 2.3 of the Forbearance Agreement is amended to state that probe will pay CIT the amount of $457,500 in sixty-one (61) monthly installments of $7,500 each, commencing on July 25, 2007 and ending on July 25, 2012. If at any time Probe elects to pay in full the remaining balance, upon 30 day written notice, CIT will provide a payoff figure for the remaining balance using a present value rate of 7.0%.

4)

The Company imputed interest at 7% over the term of the payments, which resulted in a present value of $384,025 at June 30, 2007.

5)

This resulted in a gain of $324,330 which had an effect on Net profit per common share of $.031 and Diluted Net Profit per common share of $.022.

6)

As of December 31, 2007 the outstanding balance was $352,002.


We have a balloon payment of $707,716 in notes payables due on April 15 2008.  We are currently exploring venues to convert to equity; or extend the notes payable term by 18 to 36 month.


Off-balance Sheet Arrangement

We currently have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Probe Manufacturing, Inc. as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, 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. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also inclu des 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, 2007 and 2006, 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 accumulated deficit from operations and its difficulties in maintaining sufficient working capital 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


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 medical device, aerospace, industrial, instrumentation and alternative fuel, segments. This includes end-to-end manufacturing solutions ranging from engineering to manufacturing of printed circuit card assembly, cable assembly, enclosures, complete system integration and testing, 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 had a net profit of $374,896, generated $668,293 in net cash from operations and improved their total stockholders deficit by $(472,433) for the year ended, December 31, 2007.  However, they still had a working capital deficit of $174,657 and a shareholder deficit of $(273,030) as of December 31, 2007. Therefore the ability of the Company to operate as a going concern is still dependent upon its ability (1) to obtain sufficient debt and/or equity capital and/or (2) to continue generating positive cash flow from operations.


Management is taking the following steps to address this situation: (a) to continue improving operational efficiencies by: (i) re-negotiating direct material cost with all of our suppliers, (ii) by setting up Managed inventory Solutions, such as bonded inventory levels and auto-release programs with our major suppliers, whereby they maintain stock at their facilities and deliver “Just-in-Time”.  This will improve the utilization of our line of credits with suppliers and maintains inventory at its lowest value point; however from time to time inventory levels may increase temporarily, due to scheduling issues and acquisition of new customers and/or products;  (iii) by improving all systems and processes across operations and streamlining production lines; (b) we have refinanced our lines of credit with agreement(s) that have more attractive terms, as well as increased our credit lines with suppliers ; (c) To increase revenue; (i) we are acquiring new customers that are a better fit for us, (ii) and we are  growing the business with our existing customers with offering more value added; and finally (iii) we’re focusing on more stable customer base such as medical device, aerospace, and alternative fuel industries that have a better chance of  maintaining their manufacturing in Southern California instead of moving it to low cost and offshore regions;  (e)  to ensure long term sustainability of the Company, we’re allocating more resources to develop propriety technology within the alternative energy industry while continuing to operate our EMS business.

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

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 Company’s reviewed financial statements.  


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.


Estimates

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


Accounts Receivable

The Company grants credit to its customers located 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.  Although the Company expects to collect amounts due, actual collections may differ from the estimated amounts. As of December 31, 2007, the Company had a reserve for potentially un-collectable accounts of $35,212.


Five (5) customers accounted for approximately 72% of accounts receivable at December 31 2007.  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.  Any inventory write offs are charged to the reserve account. As of December 31, 2007 the Company had a reserve for potentially obsolete inventory of $300,491.


Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Assets held under capital leases are recorded at lease inception at the lower of the present value of the minimum lease payments or the fair market value of the related assets.  The Company follows the practice of capitalizing property and equipment purchased over $5,000.  The cost of ordinary maintenance and repairs is charged to operations. Depreciation and amortization are computed on the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives of the related assets:


Furniture and fixtures

3 to 7 years

Equipment

7 to 10 years

Leasehold improvements

2 years (life of the lease)

Long –Lived Assets

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. 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 Profit / (Loss) per Common Share      

Basic profit / (loss) per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  At December 31, 2007 the Company had outstanding common shares of 10,398,944, and 157,533 shares to be issued for officer compensation, for a total of 10,556,477 used in the calculation of basic earnings per share.  Basic Weighted average common shares and equivalents at December 31, 2007 were 10,334,576.  As of December 31, 2007 the Company had outstanding warrants to purchase 4,601,250 additional common shares and options to purchase 417,664 additional common shares, which may dilute future earnings per share. Fully diluted weighted average common shares and equivalents at December 31, 2007 were 14,907,733.


Research and Development:

To ensure long term sustainability and growth of the company we have started research and development towards growth markets of the future by investing in alternative energy technologies.  While we continue to operate our Electronics Manufacturing business, we are now directing more resources towards developing technologies in the alternative energy industry.  Our alternative energy research and development is focused on the alternative fuel industry as defined by the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (EPAct) including ethanol, natural gas, propane, hydrogen, bio-diesel, electricity and methanol. These fuels are being used worldwide in a variety of vehicle and power generator applications. We believe three independent market factors; economics, energy security/independence and environmental concerns are driving the growth of alternative energy technologies today and will in the foreseeable future. 


Research and Development Costs incurred in association with the alternative fuels technology development (which include salaries and equipment) are expensed as incurred.  We expensed $138,552 in R&D during the twelve months ended December 30 2007. We acquired a 125 kW natural gas distributed power generator and are currently converting it to run on Hydrogen fuel.  Once the conversion is completed, we are planning on validation testing for performance; and later for emission.  Emission testing will require additional funding.  This distributed power generator will have near zero carbon based emission and very low NOx emissions.  When completed, this hydrogen-fueled internal combustion engine will address two major needs:  power and near-zero emissions.  These engines serve as replacement engines for the industrial user who has been dependent upon a manufacturer of traditional gasoline or diesel-fuele d industrial engines.  Our second research and development project involves an Engine Control Unit (ECU) to help convert gasoline cars to run on natural gas.  The Solaris project is in prototype stages, and will be 100% Probe’s proprietary technology.  Once completed this functionally advanced Electronics Controller Units (ECU) can operate under the hood, and will be appropriately priced for different vehicle type and markets.

Segment Information      

Except as identified above in the research and development section, we operate primarily in a single operating segment providing printed circuit boards and electronic assemblies.


Stock Based Compensation   

The company has adopted the use of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS No. 123R), which supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and its related implementation guidance and eliminates the alternative to use Opinion 25’s intrinsic value method of accounting that was provided in Statement 123 as originally issued. This Statement requires an entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of an equity instruments, which includes grants of stock options and stock warrants, based on the fair value of the award, measured at the grant date, (with limited exceptions). Under this standard, the fair value of each award is estimated on the grant date, using an option-pricing model that meets certain requirements. We use the Black- Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of our equity awards, includ ing stock options and warrants. The Black-Scholes model meets the requirements of SFAS No. 123R; however the fair values generated may not reflect their actual fair values, as it does not consider certain factors, such as vesting requirements, employee attrition and transferability limitations. The Black-Scholes model valuation is affected by our stock price and a number of assumptions, including expected volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. We estimate the expected volatility and estimated life of our stock options at grant date based on historical Volatility; however, due to the thinly traded nature of our stock, we have chosen to use an average of the annual volatility of like companies in our industry. For the “risk-free interest rate”, we use the Constant Maturity Treasury rate on 90 day government securities. The term is equal to the time until the option expires. The dividend yield is not applicable, as the company has not paid any dividends, nor do we anticipate paying them in the foreseeable future. The fair value of our restricted stock is based on the market value of our free trading common stock, on the grant date calculated using a 20 trading day average. At the time of grant, the share based-compensation expense is recognized in our financial statements based on awards that are ultimately expected to vest using historical employee attrition rates and the expense is reduced accordingly.  It is also adjusted to account for the restricted and thinly traded nature of the shares.  The expense is reviewed and adjusted in subsequent periods if actual attrition differs from those estimates. We re-evaluate the assumptions used to value our share-based awards on a quarterly basis and if changes warrant different assumptions, the share-based compensation expense could vary significantly from the amount expensed in the past. We may be required to adjust any remaining share-based compensation expense, based on any additions, cancellations or adjust ments to the share based awards. The expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award—the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service.   For the year ended December 31, 2007 we recognized 97,537 of share based compensation which included 21,920 of expense, due to the issuance of our options and warrants, we also had $24,770 in non-vested expense to be recognized over the next three years.


Income Taxes

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. The net profit for the year ended, December 31, 2007 of $396,816 is offset by previous losses.  As of December 31, 2007 the Company had a net operating loss carry forward of $(483,693). The Company has not booked any deferred tax asset as a result.


RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB’) issued Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” This Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, and provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. This Interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We believe that FIN No. 48 should not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.


In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement




37 of 61



Table of Contents                                                                                                        Financial Statements         


applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurement where the FASB has previously determined that under those pronouncements fair value is the appropriate measurement. This statement does not require any new fair value measurements but may require companies to change current practice. This statement is effective for those fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and to the interim periods within those fiscal years. We believe that SFAS No. 157 should not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations


In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans” (“SFAS No. 158”). SFAS No. 158 requires employers to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position, recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income and measure a plan’s assets and its obligations that determine its funded status as of the end of the employer’s fiscal year. The provisions of SFAS No. 158 are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006. We believe that SFAS No. 158 should not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.


In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 requires companies to evaluate the materiality of identified unadjusted errors on each financial statements and related financial statement disclosure using both the rollover approach and the iron curtain approach. The requirements of SAB 108 are effective for annual financial statements covering the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006. SFAS No. 158 has not had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 7 - CAPITAL LEASE SETTLEMENT OBLIGATIONS  


On July 9, 1997 and December 21, 1997, the Company entered into two lease agreements, with Crocker capital, which subsequently assigned the leases to The CIT Group.  In September 2004 the Company had outstanding balances of $457,604 and $556,293 on the two leases and was unable to make the monthly lease payments. As a result, the Company entered into a forbearance agreement with The CIT Group, with monthly payments of $7,500 and an early payment schedule as follows:


The CIT Group would release the Company and its guarantors if one of the following payments were made, less the total of all monthly payments made to that date:


$375,000 if paid by October 25, 2004

$425,000 if paid by December 25, 2004

$500,000 if paid by June 25, 2005

$550,000 if paid by December 25, 2005

$600,000 if paid by June 25, 2006

$650,000 if paid by December 25, 2006

$700,000 if paid by June 25, 2007


On June 1, 2007 an amended forbearance agreement was entered into:


1)

In consideration of CIT entering into this Addendum, Probe will pay CIT the sum of $7,500 on or before June 25, 2007, which was paid.

2)

Recital B is amended to state that as of June 25, 2007 Probe’s payment obligation to CIT totals $457,500.

3)

Section 2.3 of the Forbearance Agreement is amended to state that probe will pay CIT the amount of $457,500 in sixty-one (61) monthly installments of $7,500 each, commencing on July 25, 2007 and ending on July 25, 2012. If at any time Probe elects to pay in full the remaining balance, upon 30 day written notice, CIT will provide a payoff figure for the remaining balance using a present value rate of 7.0%.

4)

The Company imputed interest at 7% over the term of the payments, which resulted in a present value of $384,025 at June 30, 2007.

5)

This resulted in a gain of $324,330 which had an effect on Net profit per common share of $.031 and Diluted Net Profit per common share of $.022.

6)

As of December 31, 2007 the outstanding balance was $352,002.

NOTE 9 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTIGENCIES


Operating Rental Leases

On September 11, 2006 we entered into a sublease agreement for 10,000 sq ft. of manufacturing space which includes office space with Quantum Fuel System Technologies Worldwide, Inc. The initial lease which ends on May 31, 2008 has an option to renew for three years, contingent upon Quantum, renewing their master lease. The new facility is located at 25242 Arctic Ocean Drive, Lake Forest, CA 92630.  Quantum has extended their master lease agreement and we are currently negotiating the terms of our sub-lease agreement.


Litigation

The Company may be involved from time to time in various claims, lawsuits, and disputes with third parties, action involving allegations or discrimination or breach of contract actions incidental in the normal operations of the business.  


As of December 31, 2007 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 resell the services.  Consequently, Probe was not able to generate any revenues from reselling of the software and was unable pay Cadence.  On August 9th 2004 we 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.  As of December 31, 2006 the balance due to Cadence under the agreement was $8,853.   This was paid in full in April 2007.

 

We believed this settlement was paid in full; however on March 13, 2008 a Notice of Levy was filed against the Company for $26,840 claimed by Cadence Design Systems, Inc.  The Company, however, believes the Notice of Levy was not filed in good faith since the Company and Cadence entered into a settlement agreement on November 29, 2004 and Probe has paid in full the balance due under the settlement agreement.  Probe is currently in the process of seeking resolution to this matter, however, no favorable resolution can be guaranteed.  Management believes that their claim is without merit.

2. We currently owe the Internal Revenue Service $56,152 for past tax liabilities.  We negotiated a settlement with the IRS and have entered into a payment plan with them in which we pay the IRS $3,000 per month.  All payments to date are current.  The balance is included in other long-term debt.


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.

 

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.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934).  Based  on  that  evaluation,  our  Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial  Officer  concluded  that  our  disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we  file  or  submit  under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (i) is recorded, processed,  summarized  and  reported  within  the  time  periods  specified  in Securities  and Exchange Commissi on rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated  to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial  Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management. Our disclosure controls and procedures include components of our internal control over financial reporting.  Management's  assessment  of the effectiveness  of our internal control over financial reporting is expressed at the  level  of  reasonable assurance that the control system, no matter how well designed  and operated, can provide only reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that  the  control  system's  objectives  will  be  met.

 

 


Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting


Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. As of December 31, 2007, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, an evaluation was conducted of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on that evaluation, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was adequately designed and operating effectively as of December 31, 2007.

 


Because of its inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 


This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal controls over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only Management’s Report in this Annual Report.


Changes in Internal Controls


There  was  no  change  in  our  internal  control over financial reporting that occurred  during  the  fourth  quarter  covered  by  this Annual  Report on Form 10-K  that  materially  affected,  or  is  reasonably  likely  to  materially affect,  our  internal  control  over  financial  reporting.

On May 25, 2006 the holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock exchanged their stock for Series C Convertible Preferred Stock.  Pursuant to the exchange Reza Zarif, our CEO, received 4,500 shares of Series C; Kambiz Mahdi received 4,500 shares of Series C; and eFund Capital Partners, LLC received 5,040 shares of Series C.  Original as filed on May 25, 2006 each share of Series C Stock shall be converted into a number of shares of Common Stock that is equal to each share being divided by the average of the 3 lowest intraday bids in the twenty (20) days prior to conversion or $0.10, which ever is greater, multiplied by 100 (1 divided by x, multiplied by 100), or 125 shares per Series C, whichever is greater.

Our full Board of Directors performs the functions of an Audit Committee.  During fiscal year 2006, 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,  t he 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.
