PART I

In this report, the terms “M~Wave,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to M~Wave, Inc. and its subsidiary M-Wave DBS, Inc.

Item 1. Description of Business

M~Wave, Inc. was incorporated in Delaware in January 1992. Our executive offices are located at 11533 Franklin Ave., Franklin Park, Illinois, 60131, and our telephone number is (630) 562-5550; our website is http://www.mwav.com. Presently, SEC filings are not available on our website but, if requested, we will provide electronic or paper copies of SEC filings free of charge, or these can be obtained online via EDGAR.

Business

The Company

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 our customers 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 believe our manufacturing partners have a reputation for timely fulfillment of orders that are competitively priced, shipped from modern plants operating with the high 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 sophisticated group of purchasers.

In 2005, we started to solicit new orders and extend our product lines to include custom or engineered electronic products sourced from Asia on behalf of existing accounts. These products are sourced and imported on a pan-Asian basis and cover a broad range of components that include LED’s, wire bonding services, harnesses, extruded housing products, 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.


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 approximately $1,700,000.

M-Wave DBS, Inc. was initially acquired as 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.

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 we determined to discontinue M-Wave DBS, Inc., formerly reported as the DBS segment. In consideration of that change, essentially all employees of the DBS subsidiary were terminated in December 2005, and the remaining assets located in warehouses in California and Florida were liquidated in the ordinary course of business.

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.

Facilities
In an effort to reduce operating expenses, the Company completed its move and consolidation from West Chicago, Illinois to Franklin Park, Illinois close to Chicago’s O’Hare International airport in December 2005. The Company entered into a short-term lease of space with Harbrook Tool & Manufacturing Company, located at 11533 Franklin Avenue, Franklin Park, Illinois 60131. The lease can be terminated upon 60 days written notice by either party.

Series B Stock

On January 25, 2006, the Company entered into an Agreement with Mercator Momentum Fund III, amending the Loan Document Purchase Agreements which Mercator purchased from Silicon Valley Bank on November 9, 2005. This amendment included eliminating certain provisions and conditions of the loan originally between the Company and Silicon Valley Bank, including financial covenants. As part of this amendment, all previous defaults that had existed under the agreement at that time were waived.

The principal amount due under the note was amended to include interest accrued between November 9 and December 31, 2005. Future interest was to accrue at a rate equal to the prime rate plus 2% per annum. The maturity date on this obligation was June 28, 2006.

On March 1, 2006 the Company entered into, and simultaneously consummated, an agreement with (i) Mercator Momentum Fund, LP; (ii) Mercator Momentum Fund III, LP; (iii) Monarch Pointe Fund Ltd.; and (iv) M.A.G. Capital LLC, (“the Purchasers”), whereby the Company issued then an aggregate of 45,648 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, which are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock. Each share of Series B Stock has a stated value of $100.00. The Company issued the Series B Stock in consideration of canceling $4,564,800 of indebtedness owed by the Company to them. In connection with the Agreement, the Company reduced the exercise prices of certain common stock purchase warrants previously issued to the purchasers and to M.A.G. Capital, LLC.

Pursuant to the terms of the March 1, 2006 Agreement, on March 15, 2006, the Company issued an additional 19,000 shares of Series B Stock to the purchasers in exchange for the payment of $1,900,000. The number of Common Shares that any of the Purchasers may acquire at any time upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock (“the Conversion Shares”)is subject to limitations in the Certificate of Designations of Preferences and Rights of Series B Stock, as filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on March 1, 2006, so that the aggregate number of shares of common stock which such Purchaser, and all persons affiliated with such Purchaser, have beneficial ownership does not at any time exceed 9.99% of the Company’s then outstanding common stock.


On December 29, 2006 the Company entered into, and simultaneously consummated, an agreement whereby the Company issued an aggregate of 5,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, which are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock to Monarch Pointe Fund, Ltd. Each share of Series B Stock has a stated value of $100.00. The Company issued the Series B Stock in exchange for the payment of $500,000 to the Company on December 29, 2006.

The Agreement further stipulates that that the sum of the number of Common Shares issued upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock plus the number of shares of the Company’s common stock already owned by any of the Purchasers, may not exceed 19.99% of the Company’s then outstanding common stock without the approval of the Company’s stockholders if such approval is required by the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Capital Market.
 
The Series B Stock is non-voting and the holder is entitled to receive monthly dividends at an annual rate equal to 15%, subject to reduction to 9% after the Registration Statement (as defined below) is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The monthly dividends are payable in cash, subject to board approval. The number of shares into which one share of Series B Stock is convertible into will be determined by dividing $100.00 by $3.16 (subject to adjustment). In addition, the Series B Stock has liquidation preferences and certain other privileges.

Registration of Stock
The Company agreed to use it best efforts to file a registration statement covering the resale of the Conversion Shares, the shares of common stock underlying the Warrants (as defined below) and the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock issued by the Company to the purchasers on June 17, 2004.

On March 1, 2006, warrants to purchase 532,862 shares of common stock of the Company previously issued to MAG and to the purchasers were modified to reduce the exercise prices of the warrants (previously between $5.08 and $4.08) to the price that was $0.01 above the closing bid price on the business day immediately preceding the Closing Date, or $2.48 per share.

Voting Agreement
Joseph Turek, Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company, has entered into a voting agreement on January 26, 2007 with MAG and Mercator Momentum Fund, LP whereby Mr. Turek agrees to vote all voting securities of the Company currently owned or thereafter acquired by him in favor of any proposal agreed to by the Special Committee to pursue a transaction in which the Company would make a significant acquisition of another company or of the business or assets of another company. The voting agreement terminates on the earlier of its one-year anniversary or upon the closing of any such acquisition.

Industry and Market

There is a large and varied market for lower to high technology digital circuit boards. The technology ranges between dual-sided circuit boards associated with applications like signaling or lighting devices to 20-plus layer boards with complex circuitry requirements associated with medical or military applications.

There has been an “outsourcing” trend whereby many end users have reduced their internal assembly of printed circuit boards and bonded assemblies and moved to buying these products from “contract manufacturing” shops. But within outsourcing, the domestic U.S. market has evolved to associate itself with pre-production short runs, prototypes, and niches while mass production has largely migrated to Asia. The total domestic market for printed circuit boards has shrunk dramatically since 1999, and is now about $2 billion according to our estimates.


We believe the global sourcing of other custom and engineered products allied with printed circuit boards is a growing niche as many small and middle market contract manufacturers or original equipment manufacturers seek alternative sourcing to U.S. production only.

Customers and Marketing

Our customers are highly varied and include both contract manufacturers (CM’s) and original equipment manufacturers (OEM’s) of specific products, both within the telecom sector and in a wide range of other diverse industries including electronic warning devices, irrigation equipment and automotive consumer components. We market our products through regional sales managers supported by 20 independent sales organizations. We currently service approximately 50 customers.

The sale of microwave printed circuit boards is technical in nature. We work with customer personnel who are frequently experts in microwave design and theory with added expertise in fabrication and design techniques for printed circuit boards. Typically, microwave system manufacturers provide us with fabrication details and guidelines. We have the products fabricated to customer specifications.

We adopted a program of early supplier involvement as part of our sales strategy. We have the opportunity to design-in our manufacturing processes as a means of reducing the cost of microwave systems. The emphasis upon a partnership underlies our relationship with our customers.

As of December 31, 2006, we had an order backlog of approximately $2,255,000 compared to $1,542,000 at December 31, 2005. Most of our backlog is subject to cancellation or postponement without significant penalty. This backlog is not necessarily indicative of our future results of operations or prospects.

Products and Production

We have exited direct domestic manufacturing by using operating and strategic partnerships with domestic and Asian printed circuit board manufacturers. Our suppliers manufacture to our specifications and under our review by our management based in Chicago and Singapore.

As a result of exiting manufacturing, we have transferred most of the risks of manufacturing including raw material acquisition, process controls, scrap, quality control, warranty expenses, human resources productivity, working asset absorption and plant failure to our suppliers. This allows us to move with greater flexibility as a marketing and service firm. We gear ourselves to market conditions to gain sales otherwise imprudent and outsource these using a “virtual manufacturing” approach. We may not be successful under our new business model as we compete increasingly with brokers, distributors, and some manufacturers who adopt similar strategies.

Diversification of Products

Commencing the second half of 2006, we have submitted to a test market in Asia purchase orders outside printed circuit boards. This has included plastic and metal extrusions, and specialized assembly for products that are within and without printed circuit boards. In addition we secured purchase orders for certain RF signal enhancement products focused in both the commercial and consumer markets. The intent of the company in the future is to widen the products we procure from Asian markets for a more diverse group of customers.


Virtual Manufacturing (VM)

We out-source the manufacture of printed circuit boards as part of our Virtual Manufacturing process to unaffiliated manufacturers. Many of these suppliers are ISO 9000 certified. We believe that we maintain good business relationships with our unaffiliated manufacturers.

Our purchase orders are executed in United States dollars in order to maintain continuity in our pricing structure and to limit exposure to currency fluctuations.

Quality assurance is particularly important to our strategy and our product shipments are required to satisfy quality control tests established by our internal product design and engineering department. We typically perform quality control inspections prior to shipment of printed circuit boards to our customers. We warrant most printed circuit boards to our customers with a money-back guarantee for printed circuit boards and components. We also pass back the warranty costs of the printed circuit boards to our suppliers and share in the cost of components assembled on defective boards with them.

Competition

The market for our services is highly competitive. We compete for customers primarily on the basis of quality and on time delivery of products and our technical support. We face substantial competition from many companies, including many that have greater financial and other resources, broader product lines, greater customer service capabilities and larger and more established customer bases. Alternative methods of manufacturing microwave-related boards exist, including ceramic and thick-film technologies. Also, new materials are being introduced that are not Teflon-based and are easier to manufacture. These materials fit within existing manufacturing capabilities of other board shops. Increased competition could cause us to lose market share and/or accelerate the decline in the prices of our services. These factors could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Dependence on Domestic and Overseas Manufactures

We are dependent upon unaffiliated domestic and foreign companies for the manufacture of printed circuit boards as part of our Virtual Manufacturing process. Our arrangements with manufacturers are subject to the risks of doing business, such as import duties, trade restrictions, production delays due to unavailability of parts or components, transportation delays, work stoppages, foreign currency fluctuations, political instability and other factors, such as satisfaction of our delinquent liabilities with certain overseas vendors, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We believe that the loss of any one or more of our suppliers would not have a long term material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations because other manufacturers would be able to increase production to fulfill its requirements. However, the loss of certain suppliers, could adversely affect our business in the short term, until alternative supply arrangements were secured.

Environmental Regulations

The industry in which we operate is subject to environmental laws and regulations concerning, among other things, emissions into the air, discharges into waterways, the generation, handling and disposal of waste materials and certain record-keeping requirements. Our former manufacturing operations periodically generated and handled materials that are considered hazardous waste under applicable law and contracted for the off-site disposal of these materials. During the ordinary course of our former manufacturing operations, we received citations or notices from regulatory authorities that such operations may not be in compliance with applicable environmental regulations. Upon such receipt, we worked with authorities to resolve the issues raised by such citations or notices. Our past expenditures relating to environmental compliance have not had a material effect on our financial position or results of operations. We believe that the overall impact of compliance with regulations and legislation protecting the environment will not have a material effect on our future financial position or results of operations, particularly since we no longer manufacture products, although we can provide no assurance that any environmental laws and regulations will not have such a material effect.


Patents

Due to rapidly changing technology, we believe our success depends in part upon the engineering, marketing, manufacturing and support skills of its personnel, rather than upon patent protection. We developed the Flexlink™ process, the bonding of materials with dissimilar coefficients of thermal expansion, and the fusion bonding of Teflon-based laminate for multi-layer circuit fabrication. We developed an enhanced version called Flexlink II™ in 1995. We received patent grants for Flexlink ™ and Flexlink II™ in 1993, 1994, and 1995. Historically, we have used Flexlink II™ in our bonding process associated with RF applications.
 
We were granted three patents in 1998. Two patents were granted for a printed circuit board process using plasma spraying of conductive metal. The plasma spraying process eliminates a significant portion of the wet process currently used to produce printed circuit boards. At present, none of our current business is dependent upon these patented processes.

Employees

On December 31, 2006, we had approximately 21 full-time employees, compared to 20 on December 31, 2005.

None of our employees are represented by a labor union and we have never experienced a work stoppage, slowdown or strike. We consider our labor relations to be very good.

Risk Factors

You should carefully consider the following factors that may affect our business, future operating results and financial condition, as well as other information included in this prospectus. The risk and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impair our business operations. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition and operating results could be materially adversely affected.

WE HAVE EXPERIENCED FLUCTUATIONS IN QUARTERLY OPERATING RESULTS.

Our quarterly results of operations are subject to significant variation for a variety of reasons, including the following:

 
-
The timing and volume of our customers' orders;

 
-
Price and competition;

 
-
Changes in mix of products we sell; and

 
-
Demand for the products or the procurement and supply-chain services that we provide.

OUR LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES ARE LIMITED.

Although we believe the Company has secured adequate finances from debt and equity transactions, which can be used with cash generated from operations to support continuing operations and fund growth plans, our ability to fund working capital and anticipated capital expenditures 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. Based upon the current level of operations and anticipated growth, we believe that the net proceeds received from our March 2006 conversion of debt to equity, combined with our $2.4 million placements of additional equity, together with future cash flow from operations, and funds from external sources of debt financing, will be adequate to meet our anticipated liquidity requirements over the next 12 months. There can be no assurances that our operations and access to external sources of financing will continue to provide resources sufficient to service our indebtedness after satisfying liabilities arising in the ordinary course of business during the next 12 months or thereafter.


As a result of our restructuring and our credit history, we have limited credit terms available to us from our suppliers, increasing our reliance on other financing and internal working capital to fund our operations.

IN THE PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD MARKET, WE ARE DEPENDENT ON THIRD-PARTY MANUFACTURERS LOCATED BOTH DOMESTICALLY AND OVERSEAS.

We are a value-added intermediary and service provider of high-performance printed circuit boards used in a variety of digital applications for telecommunications and industrial electronics applications. We satisfy our customers' requirements for telecommunications and industrial electronics application by outsourcing and coordinating the manufacture of such boards through a base of suppliers located domestically and in the Far East. If our services and new business model do not gain sufficient positive market acceptance, we may not achieve anticipated revenue, profits or continued viability. We are now fully dependent on third-party manufacturers and have no manufacturing capability of our own.

We are dependent upon unaffiliated domestic and foreign companies for the manufacture of printed circuit boards as part of our Virtual Manufacturing process. Our arrangements with manufacturers are subject to the risks of doing business, such as import duties, trade restrictions, production delays due to unavailability of parts or components, transportation delays, work stoppages, foreign currency fluctuations, political instability and other factors, such as satisfaction of our delinquent liabilities with certain overseas vendors, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We believe that the loss of any one or more of our suppliers would not have a long-term material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations because other manufacturers would be able to increase production to fulfill our requirements. However, the loss of certain suppliers, could, in the short-term, adversely affect our business until alternative supply arrangements were secured.
 
IN THE PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD MARKET, WE ARE SUBJECT TO INTENSE COMPETITION.

We provide our services strictly to customers that are seeking to purchase high-quality printed circuit boards. The market for printed circuit boards is extremely competitive, particularly with respect to price, and we expect such competition to increase. The market for such products is sensitive to new product introductions or enhancements and marketing efforts by our competitors. We expect to experience increasing levels of competition in the future. We may not be able to establish and maintain our competitive position against current or potential competitors, which could cause our sales and profitability to fail to meet expectations.

WE ARE DEPENDENT ON A SMALL NUMBER OF MAJOR CUSTOMERS.

We have discontinued our RF product line which accounted for approximately 54% of the Company’s sales in 2005. Our four largest customers in the RF product line accounted for 77% of our net product line sales in 2005. The sale of the RF product line business to ASC in October 2005 creates a further reliance on our digital customer base, especially as we begin to extend our product lines beyond printed circuit boards into our existing digital customer base. Our top ten customers in our digital product line accounted for approximately 90% of our net product line sales in 2006 and approximately 80% of our net product line sales in 2005. We expect that a small number of customers will continue to account for a substantial majority of our sales and that the relative dollar amount and mix of products sold to any of these customers can change significantly from year to year. There can be no assurance that our major customers will continue to purchase products from us at current levels, or that the mix of products purchased will be in the same ratio. The loss of our largest customer or a change in the mix of product sales would have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.


DIVERSIFICATION OF PRODUCT LINES

We are procuring products outside our historical markets and expertise. Our identification of Asian production may require assistance and research by third-parties outside our company. The business may or not be profitable, and it may require greater attention from our management to monitor its viability, potentially diluting our efforts in our core business.
 
OUR SUCCESS DEPENDS ON THE EFFORTS OF KEY MANAGEMENT.

We believe our success depends to a great degree upon the continued contributions of our key management, many of whom would be difficult to replace. In particular, we believe that our future success depends on Joseph A. Turek, our President and Chief Operating Officer. Mr. Turek provides significant sales and engineering expertise. We presently do not maintain key person life insurance on Mr. Turek. If we experience the loss of the services of any of our key personnel, we may be unable to identify, attract or retain qualified personnel in the future, making it difficult to manage our business and meet key objectives, or achieve or sustain profits.

SINCE OUR COMMON STOCK IS THINLY TRADED, IT CAN BE SUBJECT TO EXTREME RISES OR DECLINES IN PRICE, AND YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SELL YOUR SHARES AT OR ABOVE THE PRICE YOU PAID.

You may have difficulty reselling shares of our common stock. You may not be able to resell your shares at or above the price you paid, or at a fair market value. The stock markets often experience significant price and volume changes that are not related to the operating performance of individual companies. These broad market changes may cause the market price of our common stock to decline regardless of how well we perform as a company.
 
NASDAQ COMPLIANCE
 
On January 9, 2006, the Company announced that it had received a determination and de-listing letter from NASDAQ’s Listing Qualifications staff on January 6, 2006, indicating it does not satisfy NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(2)(B) that requires the Company to have a minimum of $2.5 Million in shareholders’ equity to remain listed on The NASDAQ Capital Market.  The Company appealed this determination and asked for a hearing before a NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel (the “Panel”) to present a plan to regain compliance.  As a result of the Series B Stock financing, the Company complied with the shareholders’ equity requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market and evidenced full compliance with the requirement upon the filing of the Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended March 31, 2006.   As previously disclosed, as of the quarter and nine month period ended September 30, 2005, the Company failed to satisfy the $2.5 million shareholders’ equity requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market.  The Company presented its plan to regain compliance with that requirement at a hearing before the Panel on February 16, 2006.  On March 31, 2006, The Company received a formal decision from the Panel whereby the Company’s shares would continue to be listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market, subject to the following exception: 1) On or before April 17, the Company shall disclose in its Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, the consummation of transactions sufficient to bring shareholders’ equity to at least $2.5 million;  2) On or before May 15, 2006, the Company must report in its Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, actual shareholders’ equity of at least $2.5 million at March 31, 2006; and 3) On or before May 22, 2006, the Company must have a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share and have evidenced a closing bid price of $1.00 or more per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days.  The Company was able to demonstrate compliance with the conditions set forth by the Panel within the prescribed timeframes.
 
 
On June 28, 2006, NASDAQ notified the Company that its common stock failed to meet a minimum closing bid price for 30 consecutive business days. NASDAQ provided the Company 180 calendar days for the minimum closing bid price to exceed $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days. If it does so, NASDAQ will then deem the Company to be in compliance with the rule. If the closing bid price does not exceed $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days prior to December 26, 2006, depending on our compliance with other listing standards, NASDAQ may provide an additional 180-day period or it may delist our common stock at that time. 

The Company’s shareholders approved a reverse split of between one-for-two and one-for-ten at the discretion of the Board of Directors at its Annual Meeting held on October 31, 2006. On December 7, 2006, the Board of Directors unanimously approved a one-for-four reverse split of the Company’s Common Stock and established a record date of December 15th. Each four (4) shares of the Common Stock issued and outstanding will be automatically changed and reclassified into one (1) fully paid and nonassessable share of Common Stock. There were no fractional shares issued. A holder of record of Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a share shall have the number of new shares to which they are entitled rounded to the nearest whole number of shares. The number of new shares were be rounded up if the fractional share was equal to or greater than 0.5 and rounded down if the fraction was less than 0.5.

Item 2. Description of Property 

Until December 31, 2005, we leased a portion of our former West Chicago facility to maintain the offices from which we operate our domestic and international Virtual Manufacturing, supply chain management, and consulting business. In December 2005, we moved to our present location in Franklin Park, Illinois, whereby we lease space from the building’s owner on a month to month basis.

On October 5, 2005, we entered into an Agreement to sell our real property located at 215 Park Street, Bensenville, Illinois for the purchase price of $500,000. We received proceeds of approximately $457,000, net of fees and closing costs. On August 25, 2006, we entered into an Agreement to sell our real property located at 544 Pine Street, Bensenville, Illinois for the purchase price of $170,000. We received proceeds of approximately $150,000, net of fees and closing costs.

On December 31, 2004 we issued 26,042 options to the owner of ASC, with an exercise price of $5.40 per share, which were fully vested upon issuance and expire on December 31, 2008. The value of the options was determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model which calculated a value of approximately $137,000 based on a fair value price of $5.40, assuming an expected life of 4 years, a risk-free interest rate of 4.16%, volatility of 174%. And no dividend yield. Upon issuance, the value of these options were recorded as an increase to additional paid-in capital and recognized as stock compensation expense.


A.  Plan of Operation

B. RESULTS FOR THE TWELVE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2006 COMPARED TO THE TWELVE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005


Significant Events
 
On January 26, 2007, the Company entered into a Merger Agreement with SunFuels, Inc. and Blue Sun Biodiesel, LLC (SunFuels).
 
SunFuel’s primary business is the acquisition and distribution of canola oils refined into a biodiesel blend that can operate in both commercial and passenger vehicles. The primary marketing of SunFuel’s products focuses on the branded Blue Sun Fusion™ that is a blend of premium Blue Sun Biodiesel (20%) with petroleum diesel fuel (80%), along with Blue Sun's proprietary additive package specifically tailored for regional climates and seasons. Blue Sun indicates that it will also refine biodiesel product from plant it intends to break ground on early in 2007 located in Los Cruces, New Mexico
 
The transaction is expected to close before August 2007, pending satisfaction of conditions to closing. When the transaction closes, certain directors and the officers of SunFuels will assume control of the Company, which will change its name to Blue Sun Holdings, Inc. The Company’s operating subsidiary will be renamed Blue Sun Biodiesel, Inc.  The Company will continue to be a publicly traded and reporting company following the closing of the transaction.

As consideration for the merger transaction, the outstanding equity securities of SunFuels will be exchanged for equity securities of M-Wave. Specifically, outstanding SunFuels Common Stock, Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, options and warrants will be exchanged for Company Common Stock, Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, options and warrants, respectively. As a result, the holders of such SunFuels equity securities will own approximately 87.2% of the Common Stock of the Company, on a fully-diluted basis, assuming (i) the completion of the SunFuels Series A Convertible Preferred Stock financing described below and (ii) conversion or exercise of all convertible or exercisable securities of the Company that will be outstanding after the completion of the merger. Similarly, all of the outstanding Blue Sun membership interests not already owned by SunFuels will be exchanged for shares of Company Common Stock. As a result, the holders of such Blue Sun membership interests will own approximately 3.8% of the Common Stock of the Company, as so calculated on a fully-diluted basis. The currently outstanding shares of M-Wave Common Stock will remain outstanding and, following the exchange of SunFuels and Blue Sun equity securities for M-Wave equity securities, the currently outstanding shares, warrants and options of M-Wave will represent approximately 9.0% of the outstanding shares, warrants, and options of the Company, as so calculated on a fully-diluted basis.

The merger transaction is subject to the approval by the stockholders of M-Wave and SunFuels and the members of Blue Sun, receipt of all required consents, receipt of all regulatory approvals, and other customary closing conditions. Holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of each class of stock of SunFuels and holders of approximately 48% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of M-Wave and 100% of the outstanding shares of each class of preferred stock of M-Wave have agreed to vote in favor of the mergers. SunFuels, which holds 94.4% of the outstanding Blue Sun membership interests, has agreed to the Blue Sun merger. In addition, the merger transaction is subject to the receipt of the remaining $10.125 million in SunFuels Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. There can be no assurances that SunFuels will receive the remaining $10.125 million or that the merger transaction will be completed as contemplated.

Because the holders of the equity securities of SunFuels will acquire a majority of M-Wave’s shares of capital stock as a result of the merger transaction, the merger transaction will be treated as a reverse merger for accounting purposes, and SunFuels will be deemed to be the acquirer in the reverse merger. Consequently, the historical financial statements of the Company will be the historical financial statements of SunFuels rather than the historical financial statements of M-Wave, and the assets and liabilities of SunFuels will be recorded at their historical cost basis to SunFuels, and the assets and liabilities of M-Wave will be recorded as if they were purchased on the closing date at their fair market value on that date.

On August 25, 2006 the Company sold the real property located at 544 Pine Street, Bensenville, Illinois.


On August 26, 2006, the Board of Directors appointed Jeffrey Figlewicz to be the Chief Financial Officer of the Company. Mr. Figlewicz joined the Company in June 2004 as Corporate Controller and Principal Accounting Officer

Comparison of 2006 vs 2005

Net Sales

Net sales were approximately $9,762,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, a decrease of approximately $6,843,000, or 41% versus 2005. The decrease in sales is directly related to sale of our RF product line in October 2005. Sales within our RF product line were approximately $281,000 during 2006, a decrease of 97%, or approximately $8,571,000, below 2005. Sales within the RF product line represent the sale of remaining inventory.

As previously described, the Company discontinued its RF product line in 2005. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, 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. As of October 21, 2005, substantially all of the Company’s sales from continuing operations will be generated by the digital product line.

Sales within our digital product line were approximately $7,867,000 during 2006, an increase of 6%, or approximately $418,000 above 2005. Sales within the digital product lines top ten customers accounted for approximately 90% of yearly sales of this product line in 2006 versus these ten customers accounting for 80% of yearly sales in 2005. We experienced sales increase within our top customers across the board due to general strength in their underlying businesses.

During 2006, we began to receive and ship orders for Non PCB product, beginning to execute on our diversification strategy announced in previous filings. We are initially focusing on serving our existing digital customers, sourcing products such as extrusions, spun metals, castings, wire harnesses, and assembly work assopciated with printed circuit boards. Sales within this new segment were approximately $894,000 during 2006 compared to $0 in 2005. We expect sales within this area to grow in future periods to the point where we expect to achieve comparable revenues and profitability to our digital PCB segment.

Other sales primarily represent revenues from tooling and commissions received subsequent to the sale of our RF product line per the terms of the sales agreement. Per the agreement, we received commissions for acting as a sales agent for certain RF customers during 2006. These revenues contractually ended on December 31, 2006. Other revenues for 2006 were approximately $719,000 in 2006 compared to approximately $304,000 in 2005, an increase of approximately $415,000. We recorded approximately $232,000 in commission revenues during 2006, and do not expect these to continue in future periods.

Gross Profit and Cost of Goods Sold

Our gross profit for the twelve months of 2006 was approximately $2,487,000, a decrease of approximately $973,000, or 28% versus 2005. The decrease in gross margin dollars was directly attributable to the sale of the RF product line in October 2005. Our gross margin based on percentage of sales was approximately 25.5% during 2006, compared to approximately 20.8% during 2005. Margins within our digital and Non PCB product lines are substantially higher compared to margins within our RF product line as digital and Non PCB products are generally imported from Asia while RF product was generally purchased domestically.
 
Operating Expenses

General and administrative expenses were approximately $3,976,000 or approximately 41% of net sales for 2006 compared to approximately $4,187,000 or approximately 25% of net sales for 2005.


General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits, professional services, depreciation of office, equipment and computer systems and occupancy expenses. Payroll related expenses decreased approximately $202,000. Professional services, which include legal, auditing, and consulting fees, decreased approximately $651,000. Included in this figure is a decrease in our legal expenses of approximately $465,000. Occupancy expenses at our new Franklin Park facility decreased approximately $451,000 compared to prior year expenses at our former West Chicago location. Loss on assets sold in 2006 was approximately $31,000 during 2006 compared to approximately $120,000 during 2005, a decrease of approximately $89,000. As a result of adopting FAS 123R during 2006, we recorded stock compensation expense of approximately $851,000 during 2006 compared to approximately $117,000 during 2005, an increase of approximately $734,000. Current year stock compensation expenses related to grants issued in 2006 were approximately $412,000. Expenses related to prior year grants that vested during 2006 were approximately $153,000. Expenses related to the re-pricing of the MAG warrants was approximately $286,000 during 2006. Prior year expenses were related to warrants issued to JAS Financial Services and warrants that were granted to Jason Cohen, former employee, in lieu of options. Corporate development expenses were approximately $1,127,000 during 2006 compared to approximately $447,000 during 2005, and increase of approximately $680,000. Included in these expenses are public related expenses such as Nasdaq fees, press release and SEC filing fees, board compensation expenses, legal, and merger and acquisition costs expensed during 2006.

Selling and marketing expenses were approximately $821,000 or 9% of net sales in 2006 compared to approximately $974,000 or 6% of net sales for 2005. Selling and marketing expenses include the cost of salaries, advertising and promotion of our products, and commissions paid to independent sales organizations. Commissions paid to independent sales organizations decreased approximately $124,000 due to decreased sales and lower commission rates paid to new reps hired during 2006. Expenses for our Singapore office increased approximately $55,000 during 2006. Payroll-related expenses decreased approximately $85,000 during 2006.


Operating Loss from Continuing Operations

Our operating loss from continuing operations was approximately $2,310,000 in 2006, compared to approximately $1,701,000 for 2005. The changes in operating loss reflect primarily the changes in gross profit, stock compensation, and other operating expenses as discussed above, which can be summarized as follows:

Decrease in gross margin
 
$
973,000
 
Increase in stock compensation expense related to FAS123R

Decrease in other S G & A expenses

Interest Income

We recorded no interest income in 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 $419,000 during 2006, primarily related to the financing costs with Mercator versus approximately $320,000 during 2005. The Company recorded non-cash interest expense of approximately $357,000 in 2006 related to expensing of the unamortized portion of Long Term Debt due to the conversion to equity. The 2005 interest expense was comprised primarily of approximately $596,000 of interest expenses related to our financing agreement with Silicon Valley Bank and interest payments on our subordinated debt with MAG Capital, LLC. We also recorded a reduction in interest expense of approximately $276,000 to reduce the warrants issued to MAG Capital, LLC in 2005 to their fair value at December 31, 2005.


Other Income/Expense

The Company recorded approximately $236,000 in preferred dividend expense during 2006 related to its issuance of Series B preferred stock to M.A.G. Capital, LLC, and its affiliates in March 2006. Other expenses of approximately $225,000 for 2005 primarily relates to impairment expense on equity securities received in connection with the recovery of a note receivable we recorded as other income in a prior period.

Income Taxes

We recorded no income tax expense during 2006. In 2005, we recorded an income tax expense of approximately $71,000, related to prior year state tax credits that we were required to pay back due to sale of assets that occurred within the lookback period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash used by operations was approximately $1,868,000 in 2006 compared to approximately $2,448,000 in 2005.

Accounts receivable increased approximately $28,000 during 2006. Inventory decreased approximately $723,000 primarily due to liquidating inventory within our discontinued operations. Prepaid expenses decreased approximately $220,000 primarily due to deposits paid to inventory suppliers in the prior year related to our discontinued operations. Accounts payable decreased approximately $657,000 related to settlement of payables within our discontinued operations. Accrued expenses decreased approximately $25,000 during 2006.

Net cash provided by investing activities was approximately $215,000 for 2006, compared to approximately $1,390,000 used in investing activities in 2005. Sources of cash provided by investing activities during 2006 were primarily related to the sale of our land in Bensenville and payments received on our note receivable from American standard Circuits. Our acquisition of the DBS business, which was subsequently discontinued in 2005, was the primary increase in funds used in investing activities in 2005. Capital expenditures were approximately $21,000 in 2006 compared to approximately $142,000 in 2005.

Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $3,102,000 in 2006, compared to approximately $2,765,000 in 2005. The conversion of our debt to equity combined with additional equity placements during 2006 were the primary sources of funding provided by financing activities during 2006. During 2005 the issuance of promissory notes and borrowings on our former credit facility were primary factors in cash flows provided by financing activities.

Currently the Company is committed to growing its core business, as it relates to the continuing operations of its digital product line and other non-PCB components and assemblies. The Company also announced a merger agreement with SunFuels, Inc. and Blue Sun Biodiesel LLC on January 26th that expects to close during 2007. However, if the Company is unable to secure adequate financing to grow its core business, or if the merger agreement is not consummated, the Company may be forced to modify its business and strategic plan.

Based upon the current level of operations and anticipated growth, restructuring of its business focusing on higher margin product lines, placement of follow on equity 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

We believe inflation has not had a material effect on our operation or on its financial position. However, expected supplier price increases that average approximately 4% may have a material effect on the Company’s operations and financial position in 2007, if we are unable to pass through those increases under our present contracts. 

Foreign Currency Transactions

All of our foreign transactions are negotiated, invoiced and paid in United States dollars.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2006 AND 2005


1.
ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS

M~Wave, Inc. ("M~Wave" or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, was formed on January 31, 1992.

The Company is a value-added service provider of high performance printed circuit boards used in a variety of applications. M~Wave satisfies its customers needs for high performance printed circuit boards by outsourcing and coordinating the manufacture of such boards by unaffiliated manufacturers. (“Virtual Manufacturing”).

The Company’s shareholders approved a reverse split of between one-for-two and one-for-ten at the discretion of the Board of Directors at its Annual Meeting held on October 31, 2006. On December 7, 2006, the Board of Directors unanimously approved a one-for-four reverse split of the Company’s Common Stock and established a record date of December 15, 2006. Each four (4) shares of the Common Stock issued and outstanding were automatically changed and reclassified into one (1) fully paid and nonassessable share of Common Stock. There were no fractional shares issued. No stockholders received cash in lieu of fractional shares. All per share data, for all periods presented in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, have been translated on a one-for-four basis as a result of this reverse split.

The Company’s shareholders approved an increase in the authorized common shares at its Annual Meeting held on October 31, 2006. The amount of authorized shares increased from twenty million to two hundred million.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of M~Wave and M-Wave DBS, its wholly owned subsidiary.  Significant intercompany transactions and account balances have been eliminated.

Revenue Recognition - The Company recognizes revenue from customized product sales when each of the following conditions has been met: an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, there is a fixed price, and collectability is reasonably assured, which is generally upon shipment. The Company has consignment agreements with certain customers that recognizes revenue when consumption of product by the customer is verified. The Company does not have any revenues related to post-shipment obligations.

Cash and cash equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in banks and highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash or purchased with maturity of three months or less. All cash is currently invested with Silicon Valley Bank.

Accounts Receivable - The majority of the Company's accounts receivable are due from companies in the telecommunications industries. Credit is extended based on evaluation of a customers' financial condition and, generally, collateral is not required. Accounts receivable are due within 30 days and are stated at amounts due from customers net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company determines its allowance by considering a number of factors, including the length of time trade accounts receivable are past due, the Company’s previous loss history, the customer’s current ability to pay its obligation to the Company, and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. The Company writes-off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible, and payments subsequently received on such receivables are credited to the allowance for doubtful accounts.

 
Product sales include a right-of-return privilege. A liability for anticipated sales returns has been provided based on historical experience and management’s customer and product knowledge

Inventories - Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market value. The Company writes down inventory for estimated obsolescence or non-marketability equal to the difference between the cost of the inventory and its estimated market value based on assumptions about future demand and market conditions. Write downs of inventories establish a new cost basis which is not increased for future increases in the market value of inventories or changes in estimated obsolescence. If actual future demand or market conditions were to be less favorable than projected, additional inventory write-downs may be required.

Prepaid Product Credits and Note Receivable - In connection with the amendment to the Strategic Operating Alliance (SOA) agreement discussed in Note 3, in 2004 the Company received $340,000 in prepaid product credits as partial consideration for its interest in Am-Wave, LLC. The credits will be applied to the purchase price of inventories purchased from ASC and will be utilized ratably over the contractual life of the amended SOA agreement which expires in August 2006. These prepaid product credits were converted to a promissory note issued by ASC to the Company upon execution of the agreement on October 21, 2005 that terminated the SOA. This note is recorded at its estimated net realizable value at December 31, 2006 and 2005 of approximately $7,000 and $89,000 respectively.

Equipment - Equipment are recorded at cost. The Company calculates depreciation using the straight-line method at annual rates as follows:
 
 
New
 
7 years
 
Used
 
5 years
 
Long Lived Assets - The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standard No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (FAS 144). This Statement requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized of the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The Company has no financial instruments for which the carrying value materially differs from fair value.

The Company has issued preferred stock with embedded conversion features and warrants to purchase common stock in connection with debt and equity raises. The Company has followed the accounting guidance of FAS 133, FAS 150, EITF 00-19 and related interpretations, ASR 268, EITF Abstract Topic D-98 and related interpretations to determine whether these financial instruments should be accounted for as a liability or equity. If the Company determines that a financial instrument is to be recorded as a liability, the Company accounts for that liability at fair value. The liability is marked to market each reporting period with the resulting gains or losses shown on the consolidated statement of operations as a decrease or increase to interest expense.
 
Earnings Per Share - 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 December 31, 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.  Because the common share equivalents are anit-dilutive, the preferred stock dividends have no effect on the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share.  Below is a tabulation of the potentially dilutive securities:

Income Taxes - Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (FAS 109), requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are also provided for carry forwards for income tax purposes. In addition, the amount of any future tax benefit is reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent such benefits are not expected to be realized.

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 determined the adoption of FIN 48 will not have a material effect 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.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.  SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value at specified election dates. Under SFAS 159, a business entity shall report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings (or another performance indicator if the business entity does not report earnings) at each subsequent reporting date.  SFAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities.  This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.   The Company does not believe that adoption of SFAS 159 will have a material effect on its financial statements.

In September 2006, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB 108”). The intent of SAB 108 is to reduce diversity in practice for the method companies use to quantify financial statement misstatements, including the effect of prior year uncorrected errors. SAB108 establishes an approach that requires quantification of financial statement errors using both an income statement and a cumulative balance sheet approach. SAB 108 is effective for the fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006. The adoption of SAB 108 did not have an impact on our financial statements

Reclassifications: Certain items in the 2005 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2006 presentation.

STRATEGIC OPERATING ALLIANCE

In connection with the Company’s implementation of its “virtual manufacturing” model, on February 3, 2004, the Company and American Standard Circuits (ASC) entered into a Strategic Operating Alliance (SOA) agreement. Simultaneously, the Company sold its West Chicago facility to an affiliate of ASC for a cash price of $2,000,000, and. also sold a major portion of its manufacturing equipment at the West Chicago facility to a newly formed limited liability company, Am-Wave, LLC (LLC), for a cash price of $800,000 and a 20% preferred and secured interest in that entity. ASC is the other member of the LLC and has leased the use of the equipment from it.
 
On December 31, 2004 the Company and ASC amended the SOA agreement. Under terms of the amendment, the Company exchanged pieces of equipment, transferred raw materials used in the manufacturing process, and dissolved its equity interest in Am-Wave, LLC. In consideration, the Company received approximately $50,000 in cash and $340,000 in prepaid product credits, to be amortized over the remaining life of the SOA, which expired on August 31, 2006. The Company also rescinded the 500,000 warrants issued to Gordhan Patel, owner of ASC, and issued 26,042 options that are fully vested, have a four year life, have an exercise price of $5.40 per share, and are valued at $136,753 under the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model, and were recorded as an increase to additional paid-in capital and recognized as stock compensation expense immediately upon issuance. The amendment also revised the Company’s monthly obligations to ASC to a fixed amount of approximately $56,000 per month.

 
On October 21, 2005, the Company entered into an agreement with ASC to sell various rights to certain customers for the Company’s RF business, as well as title and interest in the name “Poly Circuits.” Additional considerations included termination of the Strategic Operating Alliance (SOA) in its entirety, and issuance of a promissory note in the amount of $205,000 with a maturity date of December 31, 2006 in exchange for prepaid product credits, requiring ASC to make monthly principal payments of approximately $6,833 until the maturity date. If there are no breaches to this agreement by either party during the term of the agreement, a portion of the remaining balance of the promissory note will be forgiven by M-Wave on the maturity date. Based on the repayments received in 2005, the Company has recognized a provision of approximately $103,000 to adjust the carrying value of the note receivable to its estimated net realizable value, which is included in general and administrative expenses in the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2005. Considerations to the agreement also included ASC’s purchase of the Company’s on-hand inventory, at cost, to fulfill orders placed on ASC, and termination of the lease at the West Chicago facility as of October 31, 2005. Any occupancy between termination of the loft lease and December 31, 2005, was prorated on a daily basis and fully paid; the Company vacated the West Chicago facility in December 2005 and moved to its new location in Franklin Park, Illinois; the Company was also appointed as ASC’s exclusive sales representative in regards to specified customers through December 31, 2006 at a commission rate equal to 10% of sales price.

On October 21, 2005, the Company sold its RF customer list to ASC as described in Note 3. 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. After the sale of the RF customer list, the Company’s continuing operations consist primarily of the digital product line.
 
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.

INVESTMENT IN EQUITY SECURITES

On October 1, 2004 the Company received 1,500,000 common shares of Integrated Performance Systems, Inc. (IPFSE.OB) in settlement of an outstanding promissory note the Company held related to its sale of the PC Dynamics facility in 1999. These shares are restricted, and the Company has a demand registration right. This note had been fully reserved for in a prior year, and was recorded as miscellaneous income in the fourth quarter of 2004. These shares are classified as available-for-sale and were valued by taking an estimate of net realizable proceeds if the shares were sold on the open market. Based on the market price of the stock at the time of receipt combined with a review of the average trading volume in this security, it was estimated that these shares had a market value of approximately $225,000. During 2005, the Company recognized an impairment loss in the amount of $225,000 related to its investment in these securities based on the current market price of the stock combined with a review of the average trading volume and estimated that its net realizable value in these securities is negligible at this time.

DEBT

On February 23, 2005 the Company issued $1,550,000 in aggregate principal amount of promissory notes and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 108,696 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 $4.60 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 $4.56, 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 41,667 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 $4.08 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 $4.00, 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%. 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 remaining unamortized debt discount was $356,787. The remaining unamortized debt discount was expensed during the first quarter of 2006 upon the conversion of the debt to equity.

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 below.
 
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.


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.
 
The amount of debt converted into the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock was comprised of the following amounts:
 
Promissory notes issued to MAG Capital

Upon the conversion of debt to equity described above, the remaining unamortized debt discount of approximately $357,000 was recognized as interest expense during the first quarter of 2006.
 
On October 10, 2006, the Company financed equipment for $70,000 with a note payable with eleven monthly installments of $6,000 and a final payment of $4,000. Amounts outstanding on the note payable at December 31, 2006 are $58,000 and are collateralized by the equipment with a depreciated cost of approximately $63,000.

SHARE BASED COMPENSATION

The Company has a stock option plan that authorizes the granting of options to officers, key employees and directors to purchase the Company’s common stock at prices equal to the market value of the stock at the date of grant. Under this plan, the Company has 34,778 shares available for future grants as of December 31, 2006. The exercise price of all employee and director options granted in 2006 and 2005 were at fair market value.
 
Under M-Wave’s share-based long-term incentive compensation plans (“incentive plans”) M-Wave grants non-qualified stock options to certain employees.
 
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. Estimated forfeitures are expected to be minimus and not material to the financial statements. 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 $565,000 in general and administrative expenses in the statement of operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006. Loss from continuing operations and net loss would have been approximately $2,164,000 and $2,652,000 respectively if the Company had not adopted SFAS 123R. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 would have been a loss of $1.80 per share if the Company had not adopted SFAS 123R, compared to reported basic and diluted earnings per share of a loss of $2.15 per share. The adoption of SFAS123R had no effect on the Company’s cash flow from operations and financing activities.


The following table shows the effect on net income for the twelve months ended December 31, 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 $3.58 per share for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005. Pro forma earnings per share for basic and diluted was a loss of $3.86 per share for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005.
 
As of December 31, 2006, there was approximately no unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the incentive plans. The requisite service period for all outstanding options has been completed as of December 31, 2006.
 
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 twelve months ended December 31, 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 the 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.

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above is before income taxes, based on M-Wave’s closing stock price of $2.28 as of the last business day of the period ended December 31, 2006. There were no option exercises during 2006, and there were 925 option exercises during 2005 which provided cash proceeds of approximately $3,000. The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised during 2005 was approximately $481. Based on the Company’s election of the “with and without” approach, no realized tax benefit from stock options was recognized for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005.

Common Stock Purchase Warrants
 
On February 23, 2005 the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 108,696 shares of common stock related to its issuance of $1,550,000 in aggregate principal amount of promissory notes. 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 related entities. The warrants have a term of three years with an exercise price of $4.70 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 $4.56, 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 result in a debt discount with an allocated fair value of approximately $376,000. This debt discount, combined with the stated interest rate of 10%, results in an effective interest rate of approximately 30%. The value of the warrants was recorded as a liability and as a debt discount that will be recognized ratably as interest expense over the term of the debt using the effective interest rate method.

 
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 41,667 warrants to purchase 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 (formerly Mercator Advisory Group, LLC), all of which are related entities. The warrants have a term of three years with an exercise price of $4.08 per share. The Company granted registration rights to the holders of the warrants, which rights are exercisable on or after February 1, 2006. The fair 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 $4.00, 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. This debt discount, combined with the stated interest rate of 10%, results in an effective interest rate of approximately 21%. The value of the warrants was recorded as a liability and as a debt discount that will be recognized ratably as interest expense over the term of the debt using the effective interest rate method.
 
The warrants to purchase a combined 150,362 shares discussed above has been recorded as a liability at the fair value of the warrants issued to M.A.G. Capital, LLC in conjunction with the promissory notes was approximately $515,000. At December 31, 2005, the fair value of these warrants was determined to be approximately $239,000 which resulted in the Company reducing interest expense by approximately $276,000 during the year ended December 31, 2005.

On September 9, 2005, the Company issued 5 year warrants, which vested immediately at the date of grant, to purchase an aggregate of 12,500 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.76 per share to JAS Financial Services. The fair value of the warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model which calculated a value of approximately $47,000 based on a fair value price of $3.76, assuming an expected life of 5 years, a risk-free interest rate of 4.14%, volatility of 295%, and no dividend yield. The fair value of the warrants were recorded as an increase to additional paid-in capital and recognized as stock compensation expense in 2005.

On December 9, 2005, the Company issued 2 year warrants, which vested immediately at the date of grant, to purchase an aggregate of 50,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.76 per share to Jason Cohen, former President of M Wave DBS, as part of his separation agreement with the Company that included the Company rescinding his options which were replaced by these warrants. The fair value of the warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model which calculated a value of approximately $70,000 based on a fair value price of $1.40, assuming an expected life of 2 years, a risk-free interest rate of 4.54%, volatility of 174%, and no dividend yield. The fair value of the warrants were recorded as an increase to additional paid-in capital and recognized as stock compensation expense in 2005.


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 532,862 warrants were re-priced from between $4.08 and $5.08 per share to $2.48 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 assuming a risk-free interest rate of 4.00%, volatility of 73%, and no dividend yield.

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 212,500 of their warrants. The Company received proceeds of approximately $527,000. As of December 31, 2006, M.A.G. Capital, LLC still held 320,363 warrants.

PREFERRED STOCK
 
During the first quarter of 2006 the Company issued an aggregate of 45,648 shares 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 Series B Stock is non-voting and is entitled to receive monthly dividends at an annual rate equal to 15%, subject to reduction to 9% after the registration statement is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The monthly dividends are payable in cash. The number of shares into which one share of Series B Stock shall be convertible shall be determined by dividing $100.00 by $3.16 (subject to adjustment). In addition, the Series B Stock has liquidation preferences and certain other privileges.
 
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. These proceeds are included in cash and cash equivalents on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2006 in the amount of approximately $1,511,000. These funds are not restricted by a third party, and therefore, are generally available for continuing operations.

On December 29, 2006, the Company issued an additional 5,000 shares of its Series B Preferred Stock, receiving proceeds of approximately $500,000.

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, September, October, November, and December 2006. For the period ended December 31, 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 2006, Mercator did not convert any shares of their preferred stock into common shares. As of December 31, 2006 there are 12,500 Series A preferred shares outstanding and 69,648 Series B preferred shares outstanding.

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 150,362 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 twelve months ended December 31, 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 532,862 warrants were re-priced from between $4.08 and $5.08 per share to $2.48 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 212,500 of their warrants. The Company received proceeds of approximately $527,000. As of December 31, 2006, M.A.G. Capital, LLC still held 320,362 warrants.

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 December 31, 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 was 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 carried assets and liabilities related to its discontinued DBS operations on its balance sheet. These assets were carried at their net book value which approximated its estimated net realizable value less estimated costs to sell the assets, and were included with assets from continuing operations in the accompany consolidated balance sheet. These liabilities were carried at their net book value which approximated the full amount of consideration necessary to settle these obligations. The approximate carrying value of these assets and liabilities at December 31, 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 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 approximated the current carrying value of approximately $169,000. 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 twelve months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 are as follows:

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
On January 26, 2007, the Company entered into a Merger Agreement with SunFuels, Inc. and Blue Sun Biodiesel, LLC
 
The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2007, pending satisfaction of conditions to closing. When the transaction closes, certain directors and the officers of SunFuels will assume control of the Company, which will change its name to Blue Sun Holdings, Inc. The Company’s operating subsidiary will be renamed Blue Sun Biodiesel, Inc.  The Company will continue to be a publicly traded and reporting company following the closing of the transaction.
As consideration for the merger transaction, the outstanding equity securities of SunFuels will be exchanged for equity securities of M-Wave. Specifically, outstanding SunFuels Common Stock, Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, options and warrants will be exchanged for Company Common Stock, Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, options and warrants, respectively. As a result, the holders of such SunFuels equity securities will own approximately 87.2% of the Common Stock of the Company, on a fully-diluted basis, assuming (i) the completion of the SunFuels Series A Convertible Preferred Stock financing described below and (ii) conversion or exercise of all convertible or exercisable securities of the Company that will be outstanding after the completion of the merger. Similarly, all of the outstanding Blue Sun membership interests not already owned by SunFuels will be exchanged for shares of Company Common Stock. As a result, the holders of such Blue Sun membership interests will own approximately 3.8% of the Common Stock of the Company, as so calculated on a fully-diluted basis. The currently outstanding shares of M-Wave Common Stock will remain outstanding and, following the exchange of SunFuels and Blue Sun equity securities for M-Wave equity securities, the currently outstanding shares, warrants and options of M-Wave will represent approximately 9.0% of the outstanding shares, warrants, and options of the Company, as so calculated on a fully-diluted basis.

The merger transaction is subject to the approval by the stockholders of M-Wave and SunFuels and the members of Blue Sun, receipt of all required consents, receipt of all regulatory approvals, and other customary closing conditions. Holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of each class of stock of SunFuels and holders of approximately 48% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of M-Wave and 100% of the outstanding shares of each class of preferred stock of M-Wave have agreed to vote in favor of the mergers. SunFuels, which holds 94.4% of the outstanding Blue Sun membership interests, has agreed to the Blue Sun merger. In addition, the merger transaction is subject to the receipt of the remaining $10.125 million in SunFuels Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. There can be no assurances that SunFuels will receive the remaining $10.125 million or that the merger transaction will be completed as contemplated.

Because the holders of the equity securities of SunFuels will acquire a majority of M-Wave’s shares of capital stock as a result of the merger transaction, the merger transaction will be treated as a reverse merger for accounting purposes, and SunFuels will be deemed to be the acquirer in the reverse merger. Consequently, the historical financial statements of the Company will be the historical financial statements of SunFuels rather than the historical financial statements of M-Wave, and the assets and liabilities of SunFuels will be recorded at their historical cost basis to SunFuels, and the assets and liabilities of M-Wave will be recorded as if they were purchased on the closing date at their fair market value on that date.

MANAGEMENT’S PLAN FOR CONTINUING OPERATIONS

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. 

Based upon the current level of operations and anticipated growth, management believes that the Company’s current cash plus future cash flow from operations, proceeds from the sale of certain fixed assets, funds obtained from MAG Capital, LLC through conversion of debt to equity as well as additional equity placements during 2006 are adequate to cover the Company’s needs during the upcoming year.

The Company expects to complete its merger during 2007 which will substantially alter the existing business, including, but not limited to; its industry, products, and customers. The Company plans to focus its efforts on growing this new business upon completion of the merger. The Company’s existing core business and customer base will either be sold or will become a subsidiary with minimal efforts focused on this business.

As of March 21, 2007, the Company had a bank balance of approximately $1.65 million and had no outstanding debt.


Item 8. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

None

Item 8A. 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.


The Company has identified a material weakness within its internal control framework relating to the preparation and timeliness of financial reporting and 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 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 (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) during the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.

Employment Agreements
 
Each of Messrs. Turek and Mayer entered into an employment agreement with the Company, effective as of July 28, 2004, which provides for his continued employment in his present capacity through December 31, 2006. Each of the foregoing agreements continues thereafter indefinitely, unless terminated by either party by giving notice at least 90 days notice prior to termination.

The executives are entitled to the following annual salaries under the employment agreements: Mr. Turek is entitled to an annual rate of $195,000 through April 2005 and $215,000 thereafter. Mr. Mayer is entitled to an annual rate of $208,000 through April 2005 and $239,000 thereafter. Each of Messrs. Turek and Mayer shall be eligible to receive an annual cash bonus (“Cash Bonus”) with respect to the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005 and the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006 equal to ten percent (10%) of the amount by which the Company’s Gross Margin (as defined below) for such fiscal year exceeds $4,500,000. Any cash bonus shall not exceed $200,000 with respect to any fiscal year occurring during the Term.

The Company also agreed to pay Mr. Turek, if the Company’s gross margin for the 2004 fiscal year exceeds $3,726,000, a bonus for the 2004 fiscal year equal to $15,000 multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Company’s gross margin in such fiscal year and the denominator of which is $3,726,000. Bonuses in subsequent years will be made at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors. If Mr. Turek’s employment is terminated by either Mr. Turek or the Company within certain periods following a “change of control” of the Company, Mr. Turek is entitled to a lump-sum payment equal to 150% of the then-remaining unpaid salary under the employment agreement and all outstanding stock options shall immediately become fully vested.

Audit fees are those fees for professional services rendered in connection with the audit of our annual consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB and the review of our quarterly consolidated financial statements included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB.

Audit-related fees consist primarily of services rendered in connection with consultations on financial accounting and reporting standards, SEC registration statements, and assistance with SEC staff comments.

Tax fees are primarily for preparation of tax returns, assistance with tax audits and appeals, advice on acquisitions and technical assistance.
All of the non-audit services disclosed above for 2006 and 2005 were pre-approved by the Audit Committee in accordance with the procedures described below.  The Audit Committee considered whether the non-audit consulting services provided by the auditors' firm could impair the auditors' independence and concluded that such services have not impaired the auditors' independence.
 
All services to be provided by McGladrey & Pullen, LLP are subject to pre-approval by the Audit Committee. The Chairman of the Audit Committee informally pre-approves audit and non-audit services, up to $5,000, with such pre-approvals subsequently ratified by the full Audit Committee. Typically, however, the Audit Committee itself reviews the matters to be approved. The Audit Committee periodically monitors the services rendered by and actual fees paid to the independent auditors to ensure that such services are within the parameters approved by the Audit Committee. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act prohibits an issuer from obtaining certain non-audit services from its auditing firm so as to avoid certain potential conflicts of interest; the Company will not obtain any of these prohibited services from McGladrey & Pullen, LLP, and the Company is able to obtain such services from other service providers at competitive rates.
