NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, have been included.
 
Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2006. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005.
 
2. Realization of Assets

On August 25, 2006, the Company entered into an Agreement to sell its real property located at 544 Pine Street, Bensenville, Illinois for the purchase price of $170,000. The Company received proceeds of approximately $150,000, net of fees and closing costs.

3. Inventories

Inventory is carried at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. Substantially all the Company’s inventories are in finished goods held for sales to customers supported by annual forecasts, firm purchase orders or contracts.
 

4. Business Product Lines
 
Sales by product line for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 consisted of the following:

Sales within the digital product line include ten key customers, which represented approximately 88% of sales in the third quarter of 2006 versus approximately 79% of sales in the third quarter of 2005. Sales within the Company’s top ten digital customers for the third quarter of 2006 were approximately 63% above their sales levels during the third quarter of 2005. Year to date sales for these key customers represented approximately 88% of sales versus approximately 60% of year to date sales in 2005. Prior year sales included sales to two former customers that were in the process of winding down programs during the first half of 2005. These sales represented approximately 23% of prior year to date sales. Year to date sales for the Company’s top ten digital customers were up 53% compared to prior year to date sales.

On October 21, 2005, the Company sold its radio frequency (“RF”) customer list to American Standard Circuits (“ASC”). The Company follows the provisions of SFAS 144 to identify and account for discontinued operations. In accordance with SFAS 144, these activities do not constitute a discontinued operation, primarily because discreet financial information is not available or reasonably determinable for this division of the business. Upon the sale of the RF customer list, the Company’s continuing operations consisted primarily of the digital product line.

Non printed circuit board (“Non PCB”) sales represent sales of new products, other than printed circuit boards, to the Company’s existing digital customer base. Other sales primarily represent tooling charges billed to customers for either new products or existing products that have gone through a revision, and commission revenues billed per our October 2005 agreement with ASC, pursuant to which the Company sold its RF product line but continues to assist ASC in transitioning the RF customers throughout 2006. The Company receives a commission on sales made by ASC until December 31, 2006.

The loss of, or a substantial reduction in the orders from, the Company’s major customers could have a material effect on the financial statements.


5. Debt

On March 1, 2006 the Company entered into an agreement with M.A.G. Capital, LLC to convert its debt of approximately $4,565,000 into approximately 45,648 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.

On February 23, 2005 the Company issued $1,550,000 in aggregate principal amount of promissory notes and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 434,783 shares of common stock. The issuances were made to Mercator Momentum Fund, L.P., Monarch Pointe, Ltd., and M.A.G. Capital, LLC (formerly Mercator Advisory Group, LLC), all of which are affiliated entities. The warrants have a term of three years with an exercise price of $1.15 per share. The value of the warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model which calculated a value of approximately $497,000 based on a fair value price of the Company’s common stock of $1.14, assuming an expected life of 3 years, a risk-free interest rate of 3.63%, volatility of 260.7%, and no dividend yield. When combined with the face value of the notes, these warrants resulted in a debt discount with an allocated fair value of approximately $376,000. This debt discount was expensed using the effective interest rate method. This debt discount, combined with the stated interest rate of 10%, resulted in an effective interest rate of approximately 30%.

On June 16, 2005, the Company issued $2,400,000 in aggregate principal amount of promissory notes which amended the $1,550,000 in aggregate principal amount of promissory notes, dated February 23, 2005 in exchange for an additional aggregate principal amount of $850,000 (provided that the warrants issued in connection with the February 23, 2005 promissory notes were not cancelled and therefore remain outstanding). In connection with the issuance of notes, the Company issued 166,666 additional warrants to purchase our common stock. The issuances were made to Mercator Momentum Fund, L.P., Mercator Momentum Fund III, L.P., Monarch Pointe, Ltd., and M.A.G. Capital, LLC, all of which are affiliated entities. The warrants have a term of three years with an exercise price of $1.02 per share. The Company granted registration rights to the holders of the warrants, which rights are exercisable as of February 1, 2006. The value of the warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model which calculated a value of approximately $166,000 based on a fair value price of the Company’s common stock of $1.00, assuming an expected life of 3 years, a risk-free interest rate of 3.76%, volatility of 261.0%, and no dividend yield. When combined with the face value of the notes, these warrants result in a debt discount with an allocated fair value of approximately $139,000. The total debt discount of approximately $515,000 was expensed using the effective interest rate method. This debt discount, combined with the stated interest rate of 10%, results in an effective interest rate of approximately 21%. At December 31, 2005, the remaining unamortized debt discount was $356,787. The remaining unamortized debt discount was expensed during the first quarter of 2006.


On November 9, 2005, the Company announced that Mercator Momentum Fund III had purchased the revolving financing note from Silicon Valley Bank.
 
At December 31, 2005, the total amount outstanding on the promissory notes was $2,400,000. The promissory notes accrued interest at 10% per annum and were originally due in total on August 23, 2007, prior to the conversion to equity described above.
 
On January 25, 2006, the Company entered into an Agreement with Mercator Momentum Fund III, amending the Loan Document Purchase Agreements that Mercator purchased from Silicon Valley Bank on November 9, 2005. Provisions of this amendment include elimination of certain provisions and conditions of the loan originally between the Company and Silicon Valley Bank, including financial covenants that existed under the original agreement. As part of this amendment, all previous defaults that had existed under the original agreement were waived.

In connection with the loan purchase, the principal amount due was amended to include interest accrued between November 9 and December 31, 2005 of approximately $21,000. As of March 1, 2006, the balance due on the bank notes purchased by MAG Capital was approximately $1,620,000. During the first quarter of 2006, MAG Capital provided additional debt financing of approximately $545,000.

The amount of debt converted into the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock was comprised of the following amounts:

Promissory notes issued to MAG Capital
 
$
2,400,000

Upon the conversion of debt to equity described above, the remaining unamortized debt discount was recognized as interest expense in the amount of approximately $357,000 during the first quarter of 2006.

6. Equity

During the first quarter of 2006 the Company issued an aggregate of 45,648 share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock which is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock. The Series B Preferred was issued to Mercator Momentum Fund, LP, Mercator Momentum Fund III, LP, and Monarch Pointe Fund, Ltd. in exchange for cancellation of indebtedness owed to them by the Company.


The Company also issued an additional 19,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock in exchange for $1,900,000 which will be held in a reserve account to be released by a majority of the independent directors as appropriate to fund expenses of the company.

The Company paid fees of approximately $122,000 in connection with the combination of debt to equity conversion and additional equity placement.

The Series B stock is non-voting and is entitled to receive monthly dividends at an annual rate of 15%, subject to reduction to 9% after the Registration Statement is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company is to use its best efforts to file a registration statement covering the shares of common stock underlying the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Conversion Shares”), the shares of common stock underlying the Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”), and the shares of common stock underlying the Series A Preferred Stock issued by the Company to the Purchasers on June 17, 2004. Mercator waived their dividend payments for the months of May, June, August, and September 2006. For the period ended September 30, 2006, the Company paid dividends on the Series B shares in the amount of approximately $236,000 for the months March, April, and July 2006.

During the first nine months of 2006, Mercator did not convert any shares of their preferred stock into common shares. As of September 30, 2006 there are 12,500 Series A preferred shares outstanding and 64,648 Series B preferred shares outstanding.

Potentially dilutive common shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon conversion of convertible preferred shares, and the exercise of common stock options and warrants for all periods. For all periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, the basic and diluted shares reported are equal because the common share equivalents are anti-dilutive due to the net losses for each period. Below is a tabulation of the potentially dilutive securities:

With respect to the preferred shares convertible to common shares, the numbers of Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares that each of Mercator Momentum Fund, L.P., Mercator Momentum Fund III, L.P., Monarch Pointe Fund, Ltd., and Mercator Advisory Group, LLC (each a “Purchaser” and collectively the “Purchasers”) may acquire at any time are subject to limitation in the Certificate of Designations and in the Warrants, respectively, so that the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock of which such Purchaser and all persons affiliated with such Purchaser have beneficial ownership (calculated pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) does not at any time exceed 9.99% of the Company's then outstanding Common Stock.
 
The warrants to purchase a combined 601,449 shares had been previously recorded as a liability at the fair value of the warrants issued to M.A.G. Capital, LLC in conjunction with the promissory notes. At December 31, 2005, the fair value of these warrants was determined to be approximately $239,000. In accordance with SFAS 133 guidance, the Company is required to adjust the fair value of the warrants at each reporting period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company reduced interest expense by approximately $5,000 for the reduction in the warrants fair value.

On March 31, 2006, the Company received a waiver from M.A.G. Capital, LLC on all penalties and fees associated with the Company’s failure to register the warrant shares. As a result, the Company reclassified the value of these warrants from liabilities to equity.

On February 28, 2006, the Company re-priced all of their warrants issued to M.A.G. Capital, LLC and related entities. A total of 2,131,449 warrants were re-priced from between $1.02 and $1.27 per share to $0.62 per share, one cent above the closing market price on that date. The Company recorded approximately $286,000 of stock compensation expense during 2006 related to the re-pricing of these warrants. The fair value of the re-pricing was determined using the Black Scholes option pricing model.

During the third quarter of 2006, the Company’s Board of Directors amended the Purchaser’s maximum ownership percentage of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock from 9.99% to 19.99%. On September 29, 2006, M.A.G. Capital, LLC, exercised 850,000 of their warrants. The Company received proceeds of approximately $527,000. As of September 30, 2006, M.A.G. Capital, LLC still held 1,281,449 warrants.
 
7. Litigation 


The Company is not a party to any litigation whose outcome is expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

8. Adoption of Accounting Standard and Share-Based Compensation

Under M-Wave’s share-based long-term incentive compensation plans (“incentive plans”) M-Wave grants non-qualified stock options to certain employees.

Shares available for future issuance to M-Wave’s employees under existing plans were 139,111 shares at September 30, 2006.

Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement No. 123 (revised), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”). Among its provisions, SFAS 123R requires us to recognize compensation expense for equity awards over the vesting period based on their grant-date fair value. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, we utilized the intrinsic-value based method of accounting under APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related interpretations, and adopted the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”). Under the intrinsic-value based method of accounting, compensation expense for stock options granted to our employees was measured as the excess of the quoted market price of M-Wave’s common stock at the grant date over the amount the employee must pay for the stock. M-Wave’s policy is to grant M-Wave stock options at fair value on the date of grant and as a result no compensation expense was historically recognized for stock options.

We adopted SFAS 123R in the first quarter of 2006 using the modified prospective approach. Under this transition method, the measurement and our method of amortization of costs for share-based payments granted prior to, but not vested as of January 1, 2006, would be based on the same estimate of the grant-date fair value and the same amortization method that was previously used in our SFAS 123 pro forma disclosure. Results for prior periods have not been restated as provided for under the modified prospective approach. For equity awards granted after the date of adoption, we will amortize share-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting term.

Compensation expense is recognized only for share-based payments expected to vest. We estimate forfeitures at the date of grant based on our historical experience and future expectations. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, the effect of forfeitures on the pro forma expense amounts was recognized based on estimated forfeitures.

The Company recognized share-based compensation expense of approximately $18,000 and $471,000 in general and administrative expenses in the statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 respectively. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 would have been a loss of $0.10 per share and $0.43 per share, if the Company had not adopted SFAS 123R, compared to reported basic and diluted earnings per share of a loss of $0.10per share and $0.50 per share, respectively.


The following table shows the effect on net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 had compensation expense been recognized based upon the estimated fair value on the grant date of awards, in accordance with SFAS 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure”:

Earnings per share as reported for basic and diluted was a loss of $0.26 per share for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and $0.45 per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Pro forma Earnings per share for basic and diluted was a loss of $0.31 per share for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and $0.51 per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.

As of September 30, 2006, there was approximately $95,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the incentive plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 7.20 months.

The fair value of M-Wave stock options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-valuation model. The Company did not grant any options during the second or third quarter of 2006. The table below outlines the weighted average assumptions for options granted during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005:

The expected term of the options represents the estimated period of time until exercise and is based on historical experience of similar awards, giving consideration to the contractual terms, vesting schedules and expectations of future employee behavior. Expected stock price volatility is based on a combination of historical volatility of M-Wave’s stock. The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with an equivalent remaining term.
 
M-Wave stock options expire in 5 years and prior to the 2006 grant year were generally exercisable 50 percent in first year, and 25 percent in each of the next two years, with full vesting after three years. Beginning in 2006, new stock option grants generally vested immediately at grant date.

9. Taxes

Management believes that the Company has adequate net operating loss carry forwards available that, if utilized, would offset any taxable income generated by the Company throughout the remainder of 2006.

10. Reclassifications

Certain items in the 2005 financials have been reclassified to conform to the 2006 presentation which treats the DBS division as discontinued operations.

11. Discontinued Operations

On February 25, 2005 M-Wave, Inc. through its wholly owned subsidiary, M-Wave DBS, Inc., an Illinois corporation purchased substantially all of the assets of Jayco Ventures Inc. (JVI), for cash of approximately $1,360,000.

M-Wave DBS, Inc. was initially reconstituted a distributor, virtual manufacturer and global supplier to the Digital Broadcasting Satellite (DBS) industry that includes a growing number of proprietary product lines including the TrunkLine Millenium® commercial SMATV head end gear, JVI L-Band passive splitters and multi-switches, Treadclip plastic fasteners, Signaloc® meters used in DBS installations and the Kompressor® universal RF connector line.

The purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of September 30, 2005, was as follows:

Working Capital
 
$
700,000
 
Property and Equipment
   
100,000
 
Intangible assets
   
60,000
 
Goodwill
   
858,472
 
   
$
1,718,472
 

Accounts receivable and inventories were recorded at the net realizable value. Equipment was recorded at an appraised value and was to be depreciated over an economic useful life of five years. Intangible assets consisted primarily of patents and customer lists which were recorded based on an appraised value and were to be amortized over an economic useful life of two years. Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the assets acquired of approximately $500,000, plus additional acquisition costs incurred by the Company for professional fees and the assumption of liabilities specific to key suppliers of approximately $358,000. The total purchase price as previously reported as of December 31, 2005 was approximately $1,718,000.


After attempts to finance and establish the business through July 2005, the Company determined the assets and business could not be re-established, and in December 2005 determined to discontinue M-Wave DBS, Inc., formerly reported as the DBS segment. In connection with that change, substantially all employees of DBS were terminated in December 2005, and the remaining assets located in warehouses in California and Florida were moved to the Company’s Franklin Park location until the inventory will be completely liquidated.

M-Wave DBS, Inc. operated as a wholly owned Illinois subsidiary. The Company's remaining core business continues to be printed circuit board and related custom component business is known informally as M-Wave EMG [Electro-Mechanical Group]. Concurrently, Robert Duke serves as President-EMG division.

The Company follows the provisions of SFAS 144 to identify and account for discontinued operations. The Company carries assets and liabilities related to its discontinued DBS operations on its balance sheet as they continue efforts to liquidate these assets and satisfy these liabilities in an orderly manner. These assets are carried at their net book value which approximates its estimated net realizable value less estimated costs to sell these assets, and are included with assets from continuing operations in the accompany consolidated balance sheet. These liabilities are carried at their net book value which approximates the full amount of consideration necessary to settle these obligations. The approximate carrying value of these assets and liabilities at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 is below:

On January 9, 2006, the Company announced it had taken steps to liquidate its M-Wave DBS, Inc (DBS) assets it previously acquired in February 2005. In connection with that activity, the Company announced that it had terminated all but its logistics and warehousing DBS personnel and discontinued current operations. Moreover, it stated that Jason Cohen, its former divisional president, terminated, by mutual agreement with the Company, his employment contract.

The Company is actively pursuing collections on outstanding accounts receivable from its former DBS customers and is in the process of executing its strategic plans to liquidate the DBS inventory. The Company entered into an agreement in October 2006 to complete the liquidation of all remaining inventory by the end of the year at a selling price which approximates the current carrying vale of approximately $169,000 at September 30, 2006. The Company also settled all of its remaining obligations to DBS inventory suppliers for nominal value. Based on these vendor settlements, the Company recorded approximately $324,000 in vendor debt forgiveness during the second quarter of 2006, which are included in the results from discontinued operations.


The net loss from discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 are as follows:

The loss from discontinued operations resulted in an increase to the basic and diluted loss per common share of approximately $0.04 and $0.06 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005. The loss from discontinued operations resulted in an increase to the basic and diluted loss per common share of approximately $0.07 and $0.15 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 respectively.

12. New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 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. FIN 48 developed a two-step process to evaluate a tax position and also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. This interpretation is effective for the Company's fiscal year ending December 31, 2007. Management has not yet determined the impact that adoption will have on the Company’s financial statements.


In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The requirements of SFAS 157 are effective for the Company's fiscal year ending December 31, 2008. The Company does not believe the adoption of SFAS 157 will have a material effect on its financial statements.

Item 2:

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
We are a value added service provider of high performance printed circuit boards used in a variety of digital and high frequency communications applications for a variety of telecommunications and industrial electronics applications. We satisfy our customers’ requirements for telecommunications and industrial electronics printed circuit boards, either rigid, flexible or bonded, by directly booking orders, supervising and inspecting outsourced manufacture of such boards through our global base of production partners located in China and Southeast Asia, and domestically, through pre-screened production partners.
 
Our business model is referred to as Virtual Manufacturing. Through Virtual Manufacturing we contractually supply a wide range of printed circuit board needs of our customers, creating a “pipeline” between those customers and production that covers early prototypes and pilot production, directly into mass production, offering one seamless source. We deliver products when our customers need them through consignment inventory control, demand pull, just in time, in plant storehouses, supplier or vendor managed inventory and other supply-chain programs.
 
We began Virtual Manufacturing during 2000 by developing subcontracting relationships with predominately Asian global manufacturers, from our base in Singapore. In virtual manufacturing, we assume many of the pre and post-production services of a manufacturer, while outsourcing the physical processes either adjunct to our personnel or in relatively close proximity to assure the highest quality fulfillment.
 
Our manufacturing partners maintain most certificates for quality, environmental and safety, including ISO, QS, UL, CE and others. We and our manufacturing partners have a reputation for timely fulfillment of orders that are competitively priced, shipped from modern plants operating with the highest standards of worker and environmental safety both within and outside of the United States.
 
 
We market our products through regional sales managers supported by independent sales organizations. Our base of approximately 50 customers represents a highly sophisticated group of purchasers.
 
In 2005, we extended our product lines to include custom or engineered electronic products and certain commodities sourced from Asia on behalf of existing accounts. These products are procured on a pan-Asian basis and cover a broad range of components that include LED’s, wire bonding services, harnesses, extruded housing products, plastics, metals, assemblies, and other customer specific products. This effort has been geared toward diversifying and increasing our overall margins. Initially, we solicited existing customers, but we also intend to solicit new accounts. Our niche focuses in a higher mix of products at lower volumes that larger scale distributors or brokers fail to address. Our customers tend to be smaller middle market companies though midsize firms with little presence or capability in Asia that elect us as their procurement partners.

RESULTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2006 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2005

Net Sales

Net sales were approximately $2,598,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 versus approximately $3,590,000 during the third quarter of 2005, a decrease of approximately $992,000 or 27.6%. The sales within our RF business was the primary factor in the sales decline, with RF sales down approximately $1,961,000 during the third quarter of 2006 compared to the third quarter of 2005 due to the sale of the RF business in October 2005. Sales within our digital product line increased approximately $725,000 during the third quarter of 2006, an increase of approximately 46% of prior year third quarter sales with stronger sales reported across all of our top digital customers. Sales within our non-PCB product line were approximately $142,000 above revenues for the third quarter of 2005 due to the introduction of the non-PCB products into our business at the end of 2005. As this line grows, we expect to achieve long-term revenues to approach those currently experienced within our digital product line. Other revenues for the third quarter of 2006 were approximately $102,000 above other revenues recorded in the third quarter of 2005. Primary drivers in the increase were VAP commissions of approximately $38,000 and tooling revenues that were approximately $60,000 above the third quarter of 2005. Pursuant to our sale of the RF product line in October 2005, we receive commissions on shipments made to these customers in 2006 as we continue to assist in the transition of these customers.

The non-PCB sales recorded in the third quarter were the result of our ongoing efforts to effectively grow our core business into other products that we initiated during the latter half of 2005. We continue to focus our efforts on growing our core business and customer base, primarily by concentrating efforts on expanding our customer base within our digital product line. In addition, we are expanding our global sourcing efforts beyond printed circuit boards into other product lines such as extrusions, wire harnesses, castings, spinning’s, etc. Sourcing of these additional product lines, initially to our existing customer base, we believe will improve our operating results by providing increased profits on these products than we experienced with our former RF product line.


Gross Profit and Cost of Goods Sold

The Company’s gross profit for the third quarter of 2006 was approximately $591,000, or 22.7% of net sales, compared to a gross profit of approximately $719,000, or 20.0% of net sales, for the third quarter of 2005. The sale of our RF business in October 2005 was the primary factor in the decline in gross profit dollars, and increase in our gross profit margins, as the RF business typically represented higher volume, lower margin mix when compared to the digital product line. Margins within our digital product line decreased by approximately 1.7% over the prior year as we continue to focus sales efforts on our higher margin customers.

Operating Expenses

General and administrative expenses were approximately $650,000 or 25.0% of net sales in the third quarter of 2006 compared to approximately $1,340,000 or 37.3% of net sales in the third quarter of 2005, a decrease of approximately $690,000.

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits, professional services, depreciation of office, equipment and computer systems and occupancy expenses. In comparison to the third quarter of 2005, payroll related expenses decreased approximately $20,000 due to lower headcount and salary reductions taken in the fourth quarter of 2005. Professional services, which include legal, auditing, and consulting fees, decreased approximately $390,000 in 2006 compared to prior year expenses. Charges related to special projects were approximately $32,000 in the third quarter of 2006 compared to approximately $40,000 during the third quarter of 2005, a decrease of approximately $8,000. These expenses include fees related to our successful appeal of our Nasdaq de-listing, fees paid to our Special Committee, professional fees related to fairness opinions, and legal fees related to corporate development activity as we continue to review strategic options including the sale or merger of all or part of the Company as described in previous filings. Public company related costs such as investor relations, Sarbanes-Oxley expenses, and board and committee fees were approximately $59,000 in the third quarter of 2006 compared to approximately $57,000 during the third quarter of 2005, an increase of approximately $2,000 during the third quarter of 2006. We recorded stock compensation expenses during the third quarter of 2006 of approximately $66,000 compared to $0 for the third quarter of 2005 related to Board of Director and employee stock option grants as required by the new SFAS123R reporting requirements. We recorded a loss on the sale of our Bensenville land during the third quarter of 2006 of approximately $7,000. During the third quarter of 2005 we had recorded a loss on the sale of our Bensenville building of approximately $110,000. Other operating expenses decreased approximately $237,000 during the third quarter of 2006 compared to the third quarter of 2005 primarily due to lower operating costs at our new Franklin Park facility.


Selling and marketing expenses were approximately $188,000 or 7.2% of net sales in the third quarter of 2006 compared to approximately $236,000 or 6.6% of net sales in the third quarter of 2005. Selling and marketing expenses include the cost of salaries, advertising and promotion of the Company’s products, and commissions paid to independent sales organizations. In comparison to the third quarter of 2006, commission paid to independent sales organizations decreased approximately $35,000; payroll-related expenses decreased approximately $10,000 due to headcount and pay reductions. Costs related to our Singapore office increased approximately $3,000 during the third quarter related to increased staffing levels and operational costs of the office that was established during the prior year. Other sales expenses, including travel related expenses decreased approximately $6,000 in the third quarter of 2006 versus 2005.

Operating Loss

Operating loss from continuing operations was approximately $247,000 in the third quarter of 2006 compared to an operating loss of approximately $857,000 in the third quarter of 2005. The decrease in operating loss of approximately $610,000 was primarily related to lower selling and administrative expenses of approximately $738,000 described above.

Interest Income

We recorded no interest income during the third quarter of 2006 or 2005.

Interest Expense
 
We recorded approximately $10,000 in interest expense during the third quarter of 2006, compared to approximately $163,000 during the third quarter of 2005. Primary factor in the decrease in interest expense related to our conversion of our debt to equity in March 2006. Included in prior year interest expense was approximately $53,000 in non-cash interest expense recorded in the third quarter of 2005. The 2005 expenses are related to the amortization on warrants issued to Silicon Valley Bank of approximately $12,000 related to the financing agreement, and approximately $41,000 related to the amortization of long-term debt discount during the third quarter of 2005.
 

Other Income/Expense

The Company recorded approximately $84,000 in preferred dividend expense during the third quarter of 2006 related to its issuance of Series B preferred stock to M.A.G. Capital, LLC, and its affiliates, in March 2006. We did not record any other income/expense in the third quarter of 2005.

Income Taxes

During the third quarter of 2006 and 2005, the Company recorded no income tax expense.

RESULTS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2006 COMPARED TO THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2005

Net Sales

Net sales were approximately $7,177,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 versus approximately $14,113,000 during the first nine months of 2005, a decrease of approximately $6,936,000 or 49.1%. The sales within of our RF business was the primary factor in the sales decline, with RF sales down approximately $7,758,000 in the nine months of 2006 versus 2005 due to the sale of the RF business in October 2005. The increase in sales of our digital products was approximately $230,000 during the first nine months of 2006 compared to 2005. In the prior year, we recorded sales to two former customers that were winding down programs. Prior year revenues for these two former customers were approximately $1,345,000 in the first nine months of 2005. Sales to our remaining customer base increased by approximately $1,115,000 during the first nine months of 2006, or approximately 53% above prior year sales levels with these existing customers, with stronger sales reported across the board of our digital product line. Sales within our non-PCB product line were approximately $251,000 for the first nine months of 2006 due to the introduction of these products into our business at the end of 2005. As this line grows, we expect to achieve long-term revenues to approach those currently experienced within our digital product line. Other revenues for the first nine months of 2006 were approximately $353,000 above other revenues recorded in the first nine months of 2005. Primary drivers in the increase were VAP commissions of approximately $193,000 and tooling revenues of approximately $123,000 above prior year levels. Pursuant to our sale of the RF product line in October 2005, we receive commissions on shipments made to these customers in 2006 as we continue to assist in the transition of these customers.


Gross Profit and Cost of Goods Sold

The Company’s gross profit for the first nine months of 2006 was approximately $1,796,000, or 25.0% of Net Sales, compared to a gross profit of approximately $2,920,000, or 20.7% of Net Sales, for the first nine months of 2005. The sale of our RF business in October 2005 was the primary factor in the decline in gross profit dollars, and increase in our profit margins, as the RF business typically represented higher volume, lower margin mix when compared to the digital product line.

Operating Expenses

General and administrative expenses were approximately $3,262,000 or 45.5% of net sales in the first nine months of 2006 compared to approximately $3,352,000 or 23.7% of net sales in the first nine months of 2005, a decrease of approximately $90,000.

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits, professional services, depreciation of office, equipment and computer systems and occupancy expenses. In comparison to the first nine months of 2005, payroll related expenses decreased $235,000 due to lower headcount and salary reductions taken in the fourth quarter of 2005. Professional services, which include legal, auditing, and consulting fees, decreased approximately $469,000 in 2006 compared to prior year expenses. Charges related to special projects were approximately $700,000 for the first nine months of 2006 compared to approximately $105,000 for the first nine months of 2005, an increase of approximately $595,000. These expenses include fees related to our successful appeal of our Nasdaq de-listing, fees paid to our Special Committee, professional fees related to fairness opinions on potential transactions, and legal fees related to continued corporate development activity as we continue to explore various strategic options, including the sale or merger of all or part of the Company as described in previous filings. Public related costs such as investor relations, Sarbanes-Oxley expenses, and board and committee fees were approximately $227,000 for the first nine months of 2006 compared to approximately $233,000 for the first nine months of 2005, a decrease of approximately $6,000. We recorded stock compensation expenses during the first nine months of 2006 of approximately $755,000 compared to $0 for the first nine months of 2005. Approximately $471,000 of stock compensation was related to Board of Director and employee stock option grants as required by the new SFAS123R reporting requirements, while the remaining $285,000 in stock compensation expense was related to the re-pricing of previously issued warrants on debt issued to MAG Capital, LLC when we converted our debt to equity earlier in 2006. We recorded losses on asset sales during the first nine months of 2006 of approximately $31,000 compared to approximately $110,000 during the first nine months of 2005, a decrease of approximately $69,000. Other expenses decreased approximately $661,000 during the first nine months of 2006 primarily related to reduced operating costs for our new Franklin Park facility.


Selling and marketing expenses were approximately $585,000 or 8.1% of net sales in the first nine months of 2006 compared to approximately $766,000 or 5.4% of net sales in the first nine months of 2005.

In comparison to the first six months of 2005, commission paid to independent sales organizations decreased approximately $119,000; payroll-related expenses decreased approximately $89,000 due to headcount and pay reductions. Costs related to our Singapore office increased approximately $41,000 during the first nine months of 2006 related to the full year impact of additional support staff as well as the full year impact of operational costs of the office that was established during the prior year. Travel related expenses decreased approximately $14,000 in the first nine months of 2006 versus 2005.

Operating Loss

Operating loss from continuing operations was approximately $2,052,000 in the first nine months of 2006 compared to an operating loss of approximately $1,197,000 in the first nine months of 2005. Primary factors to the increased operating loss include the following; reduction of sales and gross profit dollars pursuant to the sale of our RF product line in October 2005; special project costs related to corporate development and stock compensation increased by approximately $595,000 and $756,000 in the first nine months of 2006 respectively compared to the prior period as discussed in the operating expense section above.

Interest Income

We recorded no interest income during the first nine months of 2006. Interest income of approximately $7,000 was recorded in the first nine months of 2005 related to income received on our interest bearing bank accounts.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was approximately $414,000 in the first nine months of 2006, primarily related to the financing costs with Mercator versus approximately $399,000 in the first nine months of 2005. The Company recorded non-cash interest expense of approximately $357,000 in the first nine months of 2006 related to expensing of the unamortized portion of Long Term Debt due to the conversion to equity compared to $151,000 in the first nine months of 2005. The 2005 expenses are related to the amortization on warrants to Silicon Valley Bank for approximately $36,000 related to the financing agreement, and approximately $115,000 related to the amortized discount recognized related to our issuance of long-term debt in 2005.


Other Income/Expense

The Company recorded approximately $236,000 in preferred dividend expense during the first nine months of 2006 related to its issuance of Series B preferred stock to M.A.G. Capital, LLC, and its affiliates in March 2006. We did not record any other income/expense in the first nine months of 2005.

Income Taxes

During the first nine months of 2006 and 2005, the Company recorded no income tax expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash used by operations was approximately $1,208,000 for the first nine months of 2006 compared to approximately $2,590,000 used by operations for the first nine months of 2005.

Accounts Receivable increased approximately $77,000 due to increased sales levels during the third quarter. Inventories decreased approximately $1,155,000 related to decreased activity in “RF” and the ongoing liquidation of DBS inventory. Accounts Payable decreased approximately $363,000 primarily due to the decreased activity in “RF” and DBS businesses.

Net cash provided by investing activities was approximately $195,000 primarily reflecting the sale of our Bensenville land during the third quarter of 2006 for net proceeds of approximately $150,000 and repayment of notes receivable for the first nine months of 2006 of approximately $61,000 compared to investing activities used in 2005 of approximately $1,859,000. Capital expenditures were approximately $21,000 in the first nine months of 2006 compared to approximately $141,000 in the first nine months of 2005. Prior year activity was primarily related to the acquisition of the Jayco business in February 2005 of approximately $1,718,000.

Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $2,614,000 during the first nine months of 2006, primarily through the issuance of our Series B preferred stock during the first quarter and MAG’s warrant exercise during the third quarter. Net cash provided by financing activities in 2005 was approximately $3,135,000 related to the issuance of long-term debt of $2,400,000 and increases in our former credit facility of approximately $732,000 during the nine months of 2005.


Currently the Company is committed to growing its core business, as it relates to the continuing operations of its digital product line and introduction of non-PCB products that we initiated during the fourth quarter of 2005. The Company’s Special Committee is also reviewing strategic options including the sale or merger of all or part of the Company. However, if the Company is unable to secure adequate financing to grow its core business, or if the Special Committee does not approve a suitable strategic option, the Company may be forced to modify its strategic growth plan.

Our ability to fund working capital will depend on our future performance, which is subject to general economic conditions, financial conditions, our customers, actions of our domestic and international competitors, and other factors that are beyond our control. Our ability to fund operating activities is also dependent upon our ability to effectively manage our expenses in relation to revenues, and our ability to access external sources of financing.

The Company incurred substantial special project costs during the first nine months of 2006 related to special committee fees, professional fees, legal, audit and cost for merger and acquisition activity as detailed in the above comments. These costs are anticipated to continue until an appropriate strategic option can be successfully implemented. We believe the funding received in the first quarter combined with the funding provided by the warrant exercise during the third quarter will be adequate to cover additional strategic costs anticipated through the remainder of the year.

Based upon the current level of operations and anticipated growth, restructuring of its business focusing on higher margin product lines, placement of equity and debt financing during the past year, we believe that future cash flows from operations will be adequate to meet our anticipated liquidity requirements through the next fiscal year.

Inflation

Management believes inflation has not had a material effect on the Company’s operations or on its financial position. However, expected supplier price increases averaging approximately 4% may have a material effect on the Company’s operations and financial position in the remainder of 2006, if the Company is unable to pass through those increases under its present contracts. 


Foreign Currency Transactions

All of the Company’s foreign transactions are negotiated, invoiced and paid in United States dollars.

Risk Factors Affecting Business and Results of Operations

This report, as well as our other reports filed with the SEC, our press releases, and other communications contain forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include all statements regarding our expected financial position, results of operations, cash flows, dividends, financing plans, strategy, budgets, capital and other expenditures, competitive positions, growth opportunities, benefits from new technology, plans and objectives of management, and markets for stock. These forward-looking statements are based largely on our expectations and, like any other business, are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. The risks include those stated in the section entitled "Risk Factors Affecting Business and Results of Operations" at the end of Item 6 of our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB and economic, competitive and other factors affecting our operations, markets, products and services, expansion strategies and other factors discussed elsewhere in this report, our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB and the other documents we have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In light of these risks and uncertainties, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking information contained in this report will in fact prove accurate, and our actual results may differ materially from the forward-looking statements.

Item 3: Controls and Procedures
 
 a) Disclosure controls and procedures. As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and the Company's Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended).

Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, except as discussed in the next paragraph below, in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company required to be included in our periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. It should be noted that in designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. The Company has designed its disclosure controls and procedures to reach a level of reasonable assurance of achieving desired control objectives and, based on the evaluation described above, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at reaching that level of reasonable assurance, except as discussed in the next paragraph below.


As previously reported in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company has a material weakness within its internal control framework relating to the preparation and timeliness of financial reporting, in connection with the adequacy of segregation of duties. The Company attributes this material weakness to limited personnel resources. Though the Company has implemented levels of supervisory reviews from time to time, and employs a temporary workforce from time to time, there can be no assurance that these measures can definitively prevent transactional errors from occurring or provide the necessary accounting and financial reporting support to the Company’s accounting and finance department.

(b) Changes in internal controls. There was no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.
