PART I


ITEM 1.  BUSINESS.


Our Company


Probe Manufacturing Industries, Inc. was incorporated on July 7, 1995. On April 21, 2005, the Company was re-domiciled from California to Nevada, and changed its name to Probe Manufacturing, Inc.  We provide a range of engineering, manufacturing and integrated supply chain services to companies who design and market electronic products, Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM). Our revenue is generated from sales of our services primarily to customers in the medical device, aerospace, alternative fuel and industrial products manufacturers. The Company provides OEMs with lowest cost of ownership, flexibility, and quality that improves their competitive advantage. The services that we provide are commonly referred to as Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS). Probe's EMS offerings include new product introduction, collaborative design, procurement and materials management, product manufacturing, product warranty repair, and end-of-life support.  We offer our customers comprehensive and integrated design and manufacturing services, from initial product design to production and direct order fulfillment.  Our engineering services include product design, printed circuit board layout, prototyping, and test development. Our supply chain management solutions include purchasing, management of materials, and order fulfillment. Our manufacturing services include surface mount and through-hole assembly, cable assembly, mechanical assembly, and fully integrated box build systems for high complexity electronics.


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


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



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


EMS companies are the principal beneficiaries of the increased use of outsourced manufacturing services by the electronics and other industries. Outsourced manufacturing refers to OEM’s use of EMS companies to manufacture their products, rather than internal manufacturing. Historically, EMS companies only manufactured components or sub assemblies. As the EMS industry has evolved, OEMs have increased their reliance on EMS companies for additional, more complex manufacturing services, including collaborative product design services, supply chain management and full box manufacturing.  EMS companies now often participate in designing, manufacturing and testing of complete systems and manage the entire supply chains of their OEM customers. Industry leading EMS companies offer end-to-end services, including product design and engineering, volume manufacturing, final system assembly and testing, direct order fulfillment, after-sale product service and support and global supply chain management.   Outsourcing demand for advanced manufacturing capabilities, design and engineering services and after-market services continues to grow rapidly. This demand continues to increase for several reasons, including the intensely competitive nature of the electronics industry, the continually increasing complexity and sophistication of electronics products, pressure on OEMs to reduce product costs, and shorter product life cycles. As a result, the number of OEMs that utilize EMS providers as part of their business and manufacturing strategies continues to increase. Utilizing EMS providers allows OEMs to take advantage of the global design, manufacturing and supply chain management expertise of EMS providers, and enables OEMs to concentrate on product research, development, marketing and sales.  We believe that OEMs realize the following benefits through their strategic relationships with EMS providers:




3 of 68


Table of Contents                                                                                                        Financial Statements         



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


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


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


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


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


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

 

Plan of Operation

Management is taking the following steps to address a downturn in business that we experience during 2009: (a) to improve operational efficiencies by: (i) global expansion of our material sourcing and reducing our direct cost of materials (ii) by creating a strategic alliance with global suppliers in lower cost regions and outsourcing some of our end-to-end services (iii) by making a settlement with our note holders (iv) increase revenue by focusing on organic growth and acquisition of new domestic customers by offering both local and lower cost off shore end-to-end solutions (v) and investing into technology by becoming an incubator to technology innovators.  

Our future success is likely dependent on its ability to attain additional capital to support growth and ultimately, upon its ability to reach profitability and then maintain that profitability.  There can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining any such financing, or that it will be able to generate sufficient positive cash flow from operations.  The successful outcome of these or any future activities cannot be determined at this time and there is no assurance that if achieved, we will have sufficient funds to execute its business plans. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the

recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should we be unable to continue as a going concern.  


On June 17, 2009, we entered into a stock purchase agreement with KB Development Group, LLC. to sell 152,000,000 shares of our common stock for $120,000.  Concurrently; we entered into Settlement agreements with each of our note holders to settle the outstanding notes payable for $120,000 and the assumption of a $10,000 note by Solar Masters.  Subsequently; between July 13, 2009 and July 27, 2009 all of the notes were paid and settled, which resulted in a realized gain of $708,708 and a reduction in our notes payable of $840,203.   


On July 13, 2009, we entered into a stock sale agreement with Solar Masters Acquisition Company, to sell its entire interest in Solar Masters, Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary) for $35,000, consisting of a Note Receivable for $25,000 and the assumption of $10,000 in notes payable referenced above.  This resulted in a loss on sale of investment of $190,464.



Our Products and Services


Engineering.  Our approach is to coordinate and integrate our design, prototype and other engineering capabilities. Through this approach, we provide a broad range of engineering services and, in some cases, dedicated production lines for prototypes. These services strengthen our relationships with customers and attract new customers requiring specialized engineering services.     To assist customers with initial design, we offer computer assisted engineering, computer assisted design, engineering for manufacturability, circuit board layout and test development. We also coordinate industrial design and tooling for product manufacturing. After product design, we offer quick-turn prototyping, which means a rapid process of prototyping. During this process, we assist with the transition to production. By participating in product design and prototype development, we can reduce manufacturing costs and accelerate the cycle from product introduction to production.


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


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


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


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

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


Sales and Marketing


Sales and marketing efforts are divided into segments as follows:


·

Medical Device Manufacturing

·

Aerospace-Defense

·

Alternative fuel-Automotive

·

Industrial


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

      

Our customer accounts are managed by dedicated program managers directly responsible for account management. The program managers coordinate activities across divisions to effectively satisfy customer requirements and have direct access to our executive management to quickly address customer concerns. In addition, our executive management is involved in customer relations and devotes significant attention to broadening existing, and developing new customer relationships.


Partnership Approach


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



Competition


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


COMPETITIVE POSITIONING


We believe our primary competitive advantages are integrated services which include design, manufacturing, testing and supply chain management capabilities. We offer our customers flexible manufacturing solutions throughout the life cycle of their products. These solutions provide accelerated time-to-market, time-to-volume production, and reduced production and inventory costs. As a result of working closely with our customers and responding promptly to their needs, we become an integral part of their operations. In addition, our business processes are continually being improved for systemic optimization.

REGULATORY RESTRICTIONS ON OUR BUSINESS


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









ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS




7 of 68


Table of Contents                                                                                                        Financial Statements         



RISKS ABOUT OUR BUSINESS


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


The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.  The Company had a net profit of $27,499, generated $86,282 in net cash from operations and improved their total stockholder’s deficit by $155,730 and a working capital surplus of $50,810 for the year ended December 31, 2009; however, we still had shareholder deficit of $86,887 as of December 31, 2009. Therefore the ability of the Company to operate as a going concern is still dependent upon its ability (1) to obtain sufficient debt and/or equity capital and/or (2) to generate positive cash flow from operations.


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


As of December 31, 2009, we had current liabilities of $475,065. Our debt could limit our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, debt service requirements, or other purposes in the future, as needed; to plan for, or react to, changes in technology and in our business and competition; and to react in the event of an economic downturn.


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

 


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


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

     

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


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


At various times, there have been shortages of some of the electronic components that we use, as a result of strong demand for those components or problems experienced by suppliers. These unanticipated component shortages have resulted in curtailed production or delays in production, which prevented us from making scheduled shipments to customers in the past and may do so in the future. Our inability to make scheduled shipments could cause us to experience a reduction in our sales




8 of 68


Table of Contents                                                                                                        Financial Statements         


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


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


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



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


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


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


During the twelve months ended December 31, 2009, we derived approximately 30%  of our revenue from customers in the Medical Device Manufacturing, 40% Industrial Products, 4% from customers in the Semiconductor industry, 8% from customers in Alternative Fuel and Green Technologies, and 18% from customers in aerospace/Defense industries.


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


·

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




9 of 68


Table of Contents                                                                                                        Financial Statements         


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


·

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


·

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


·

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


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


Sales to our five largest customers have represented a significant percentage of our net sales in recent periods. Our five largest customers accounted for approximately 73% of net sales during the twelve months ended December 31, 2009.

     

Our principal customers have varied from year to year, and our principal customers may not continue to purchase services from us at current levels, if at all. Significant reductions in sales to any of these customers, or the loss of major customers, would seriously harm our business. If we are not able to timely replace expired, canceled or reduced contracts with new business, our revenues could be harmed.

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

We do not have any long term agreements with our customers, and our principal customers may not continue to purchase services from us. The duration of a purchase order is usually from 30 to 360 days. These purchase orders could be cancelled or rescheduled at any time. Significant reductions in sales to any of these customers would reduce our projected sales, adversely affect our profits, and seriously harm our business.

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


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

Overview


Probe Manufacturing, Inc. was founded in 1993.  Probe is a high quality global electronics manufacturing service (EMS) company. We provide a full range of engineering, manufacturing and integrated supply chain services to original equipment manufacturers (OEM) companies, who design and market electronic products.. Currently, our revenue is generated from sales of our services primarily to customers in the medical device, aerospace, alternative fuel, industrial and instrumentation products manufacturers.  Probe's EMS offerings include new product introduction, collaborative design, materials management, product manufacturing, product testing and product warranty repair, and end-of-life support. Because our core business is a service company, we’re impacted by our customer’s ability to appropriately predict market demand for their products. While we work with our customers to understand their demand needs, we are removed from the actual end-market served by our customers. Consequently determining future trends and estimates of activity can be very difficult.


On August 13, 2008 the issuer entered a definitive agreement for the sale and purchase of business assets of Solar Masters.  Solar Masters is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Probe.  Solar Masters is an importer and distributor of solar powered products. The purchase price of the assets was: $2,719 in cash payable to Solar Masters, LLC. plus 250,000 shares of Probe common stock valued at $.40 each which equals to $100,000, for a total of $102,719.  Solar Masters, inc. was formed and is our wholly owned subsidiary. The assets of Solar Masters included $10,500 of inventory and a deposit on inventory of $25000, the web site the rights to the name Solar Masters and the customer base.  The allocation to the purchase price was $10,500 in inventory, $25,000 deposit on inventory and $67,594 intangible assets - goodwill under Solar Masters, Inc.  


The main product line of Solar Masters consists of various solar powered barricade lights.  Solar Masters also offers a solar powered battery charger, solar powered outdoor lighting and a solar powered flashlight.  It is the intent of Solar Masters to grow the product line as it sees demand for various other products.  Solar Masters recently made its first sale of solar panels.


On July 12, 2009, we agreed to convert a note receivable from Solar Masters in the amount of $89,156 into 8,000,000 shares of common stock in Solar Masters.  


On July 13, 2009, we entered into a stock sale agreement with Solar Masters Acquisition Company, to sell its entire interest in its investment in Solar Masters, Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary) for $35,000, consisting of a note receivable for $25,000 and the assumption of $10,000 in notes payable referenced above.  This resulted in a loss on sale of investment of $190,464.  Barrett Evans, Interim CEO and a member of our board of directors resigned on July 27, 2009 and took a position with Solar Masters as a consultant. Kambiz Mahdi was a member of the board of directors of Solar Masters and resigned on July 14, 2009.


On June 17, 2009 we entered into a stock purchase agreement with KB Development Group, LLC. to sell 152,000,000 shares of our common stock for $120,000. Concurrently; we entered into settlement agreements with each of our note holders to settle the outstanding notes payable for $120,000 and the assumption of a $10,000 note by Solar Masters. Between July 13, 2009 and July 27, 2009 all of the notes were paid and settled, which resulted in a realized gain of $708,708 and a reduction in our notes payable of $840,203. Kambiz Mahdi, a member of our board of directors is the managing partner of KB Development Group, LLC.


On July 27, 2009, our board of directors appointed Kambiz Mahdi as Chief Executive officer.

Plan of Operations


We have seen a dramatic drop in revenue beginning in the fourth quarter of 2008 and continuing through 2009.  We have made significant expense cuts as a direct result of this drop in revenue.  In addition to the steps discussed below, we  have initiated a major sales push in an attempt to gain new revenue; however no guarantees can be made as to whether or not we will be successful in winning the quoted business or if it will be able to keep its existing business.


Management is taking the following steps to address this situation: (i) global expansion of our material sourcing and reducing our direct cost of materials (ii) by creating  strategic alliance with global suppliers in lower cost regions and outsourcing some of our end-to-end services (iii) by expanding our service offering to plastics, sheet metal and cable (iv) by making  settlement with our note holders (v) increase revenue by focusing on organic growth and acquisition of new domestic customers by offering both local and lower cost off shore end-to-end solutions (vi) and investing into technology by becoming an incubator to technology innovators and obtain manufacturing rights and equity.  

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



Summary of Results:


For the year ended December 31, 2009, we had a net profit of $27,499 of which $708,708 was from a gain on notes settlements and $(190,464) was from a loss on the sale of Solar Masters, compared to loss of $116,596 for the same period in 2008.  

For the year ended December 31, 2009, our revenue was $2,153,141 compared to $7,394,610 for the same period in 2008, due to the loss of 3 major customers and reduced orders from existing accounts.

For the year ended December 31, 2009, our cost of goods sold was 78% compared to 79% for the same period in 2008, mainly due to the increase in direct labor as a percent of the sales.  

For the nine month period ended December 31, 2009, our gross margin was 22% compared to 21% for the same period in 2008.  

For the twelve month ended December 31, 2009, our SG&A cost was 43% compared to 19% for the same period in 2008.  

For the year ended December 31, 2009, we had a net profit of $27,499 and a working capital surplus of $35,549.  Our total stockholder’s deficit reduced to 86,887, resulting in shareholder surplus of $16,434 as of December 31, 2009;

Critical Accounting Policies and basis of presentation

The accompanying financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-K and, therefore, omit or condense certain footnotes and other information normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  It is suggested that these condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's audited financial statements on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.


We follow United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or GAAP. Certain of the principles involve selection among alternatives and choices of methods, which are described in the footnotes to our financial statements.  


Cash and Cash Equivalents


We maintain the majority of its cash accounts at a commercial bank. The total cash balance is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000 per commercial bank. For purposes of the statement of cash flows we consider all cash and highly liquid investments with initial maturities of one year or less to be cash equivalents.

Estimates


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


Accounts Receivable


We grant credit to its customers located within the United States of America; and do not require collateral. Our ability to collect receivables is affected by economic fluctuations in the geographic areas and industries served by us.


Reserves for un-collectable amounts are provided, based on past experience and a specific analysis of the accounts.  Although we expect to collect amounts due, actual collections may differ from the estimated amounts. As of December 31, 2009, we had a reserve for potentially un-collectable accounts of $16,620.  Five (5) customers accounted for approximately 73% of accounts receivable at December 31, 2009 and one customer accounted for 21% of the accounts receivable balance. Our trade accounts primarily represent unsecured receivables.  Historically, our bad debt write-offs related to these trade accounts have been insignificant.


Inventory


Inventories are valued at the lower of weighted average cost or market value.   Our industry experiences changes in technology, changes in market value and availability of raw materials, as well as changing customer demand.  We make provisions for estimated excess and obsolete inventories based on regular audits and cycle counts of our on-hand inventory levels and forecasted customer demands and at times additional provisions are made.  Any inventory write offs are charged to the reserve account. As of December 30, 2009, we had a reserve for potentially obsolete inventory of $350,000.  


Property and Equipment


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


Furniture and fixtures

3 to 7 years

Equipment

7 to 10 years

Leasehold improvements

2 years (life of the lease)

Table of Contents                                                                                                        Financial Statements         


Long –Lived Assets


Our management assesses the recoverability of its long-lived assets by determining whether the depreciation and amortization of long lived assets over their remaining lives can be recovered through projected undiscounted future cash flows. The amount of long-lived asset impairment if any, is measured based on fair value and is charged to operations in the period in which long-lived assets impairment is determined by management. There can be no assurance however, that market conditions will not change or demand for our services will continue, which could result in impairment of long-lived assets in the future.


Revenue Recognition


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


Fair Value of Financial Instruments


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


Other Comprehensive Income


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


Net Profit / (Loss) per Common Share                 


Basic profit / (loss) per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  At December 31, 2009, we had outstanding common shares of 184,638,320 used in the calculation of basic earnings per share.  Basic Weighted average common shares and equivalents at for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 were 105,931,471 and 31,932,579 respectively.  As of December 31, 2009, we had outstanding warrants to purchase 14,247,330 additional common shares and options to purchase 1,112,735 additional common shares, which may dilute future earnings per share. Fully diluted weighted average common shares and equivalents for the years ended 2009 and 2008 were 121,404,210 and 15,890,275 respectively, however for the period ended December 31, 2008, all of the Company's common stock equivalents were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per common share because they were anti-dilutive, due to the Company's net loss in that period.

Major Customers


Our top 5 customers accounted for approximately 73% of our net sales for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to 84%, for the same period in 2008. We believe that our ability to grow our core business depends on increasing sales to existing customers, and on successfully attracting new customers. Customer contracts can be canceled and volume levels can be changed or delayed based on our customer’s performance and the end users’ markets which we have no control over. The timely replacement of delayed, canceled or reduced orders with new business cannot be ensured. In addition, we cannot assume that any of our current customers will continue to utilize our services. Consequently, our results of operations may be materially adversely affected.


Gross Profit 


For the year ended December 31, 2009, our gross profits were 22% from 21% in the same period in 2008. Our gross profits could vary from period to period and is affected by a number of factors, including product mix, production efficiencies, component availability and costs, pricing, competition, customer requirements and unanticipated restructuring or inventory charges and potential scrap.  


Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses 


For the year ended December31, 2009, our SG&A expense was 43% compared to 19% for the same period in 2008.  This increase is primarily due to the decrease in revenue.  We have made adjustments to decrease SG&A expense.


Net Income/ (Loss) from operations


For the year ended December 31, 2009, our net loss from operations was (21%) compared to net income from operations of 1% for the same period in 2008. This was primarily due to a decrease in orders from customers.


For the year ended December 31, 2009 interest expense was ($33,457) compared to ($134,575) for the same period in 2008, this was to due to the settlement agreements referenced in Note 13.

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


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


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


$375,000 if paid by October 25, 2004

$425,000 if paid by December 25, 2004

$500,000 if paid by June 25, 2005

$550,000 if paid by December 25, 2005

$600,000 if paid by June 25, 2006

$650,000 if paid by December 25, 2006

$700,000 if paid by June 25, 2007


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


1)

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

2)

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

3)

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

4)

We imputed interest at 7.00% over the term of the payments, which resulted in a present value of $384,025 and a gain of $324,330 which had an effect on Net profit per common share of $0.031 and Diluted Net Profit per common share of $0.022.

5)

As of December 31, 2009 the outstanding balance was $260,960.


Subsequently, On April 9, 2009 we entered into an agreement with CIT to pay off the balance in full for $70,000. This realizes a net gain of $190,960.

 

As of June 30, 2009, we had outstanding note balances totaling 690,708, all of which were in default.  On June 17, we entered into a stock purchase agreement with KB Development group to sell 152,000,000 shares of our common stock for $120,000.  Concurrently we entered into Settlement agreements with each of our note holders to settle the outstanding notes payable for $120,000 and the assumption of a $10,000 note by Solar Masters.  Subsequently; between July 13, 2009 and July

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


April 15, 2010


Board of Directors

Probe Manufacturing, Inc.



We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Probe Manufacturing, Inc.(the “Company”) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.


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


In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations and changes in stockholders’ deficit and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.


As discussed in Note 1 of the notes to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in the footnotes, the Company has current assets of $525,870 and current liabilities of $475,065.  Sales have decreased from $7,394,610 in 2008 to $2,153,141 for the comparable period.  In addition, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $572,790 and is dependent

on at least maintaining current revenue levels. Those conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008


Notes 1- GENERAL


The Company


Probe Manufacturing, Inc. was founded in 1993.  Probe is a high quality global electronics manufacturing service (EMS) company. We provide a full range of engineering, manufacturing and integrated supply chain services to original equipment manufacturers (OEM) companies, who design and market electronic products.. Currently, our revenue is generated from sales of our services primarily to customers in the medical device, aerospace, alternative fuel, industrial and instrumentation products manufacturers.  Probe's EMS offerings include new product introduction, collaborative design, materials management, product manufacturing, product testing and product warranty repair, and end-of-life support. Because our core business is a service company, we’re impacted by our customer’s ability to appropriately predict market demand for their products. While we work with our customers to understand their demand needs, we are removed from the actual end-market served by our customers. Consequently determining future trends and estimates of activity can be very difficult.


On August 13, 2008 the issuer entered a definitive agreement for the sale and purchase of business assets of Solar Masters.  Solar Masters is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Probe.  Solar Masters is an importer and distributor of solar powered products. The purchase price of the assets was: $2,719 in cash payable to Solar Masters, LLC. plus 250,000 shares of Probe common stock valued at $.40 each which equals to  $100,000,  for a total of $102,719.  Solar Masters, inc. was formed and is our wholly owned subsidiary. The assets of Solar Masters included $10,500 of inventory and a deposit on inventory of $25000, the web site the rights to the name Solar Masters and the customer base.  The allocation to the purchase price was $10,500 in inventory, $25,000 deposit on inventory and $67,594 in goodwill under Solar Masters, Inc.  


The main product line of Solar Masters consists of various solar powered barricade lights.  Solar Masters also offers a solar powered battery charger, solar powered outdoor lighting and a solar powered flashlight.  It is the intent of Solar Masters to grow the product line as it sees demand for various other products.  Solar Masters recently made its first sale of solar panels.


On July 12, 2009, we agreed to convert a note receivable from Solar Masters in the amount of $89,156 into 8,000,000 shares of common stock in Solar Masters.  


On July 13, 2009, we entered into a stock sale agreement with Solar Masters Acquisition Company, to sell its entire interest in its investment in Solar Masters, Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary) for $35,000, consisting of a note receivable for $25,000 and the assumption of $10,000 in notes payable referenced above.  This resulted in a loss on sale of investment of $190,464.  Barrett Evans, Interim CEO and a member of our board of directors resigned on July 27, 2009 and took a position with Solar Masters as a consultant. Kambiz Mahdi was a member of the board of directors of Solar Masters and resigned on July 14, 2009.


On June 17, 2009 we entered into a stock purchase agreement with KB Development Group, LLC. to sell 152,000,000 shares of our common stock for $120,000. Concurrently; we entered into settlement agreements with each of our note holders to settle the outstanding notes payable for $120,000 and the assumption of a $10,000 note by Solar Masters. Between July 13, 2009 and July 27, 2009 all of the notes were paid and settled, which resulted in a realized gain of $708,708 and a reduction in our notes payable of $840,203. Kambiz Mahdi, a member of our board of directors is the managing partner of KB Development Group, LLC.


On July 27, 2009, our board of directors appointed Kambiz Mahdi as Chief Executive officer.


Going Concern


The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Although; for the year ended December 31, 2009, we had a net profit of $27,499 and a working capital surplus of $50,810 and a shareholder deficit of $(86,887) our

Table of Contents                                                                                                        Financial Statements         


ability to operate as a going concern is still dependent upon our ability (1) to obtain sufficient debt and/or equity capital and/or (2) continue to generate positive cash flow from operations.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS   – (Continued)


Plan of Operations


We have seen a dramatic drop in revenue beginning in the fourth quarter of 2008 and continuing through 2009.  We have made significant expense cuts as a direct result of this drop in revenue.  In addition to the steps discussed below, we  have initiated a major sales push in an attempt to gain new revenue; however no guarantees can be made as to whether or not we will be successful in winning the quoted business or if it will be able to keep its existing business.


Management is taking the following steps to address this situation: (i) global expansion of our material sourcing and reducing our direct cost of materials (ii) by creating  strategic alliance with global suppliers in lower cost regions and outsourcing some of our end-to-end services (iii) by expanding our service offering to plastics, sheet metal and cable (iv) by making  settlement with our note holders (v) increase revenue by focusing on organic growth and acquisition of new domestic customers by offering both local and lower cost off shore end-to-end solutions (vi) and investing into technology by becoming an incubator to technology innovators and obtain manufacturing rights and equity.  

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



NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

The accompanying financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-K and, therefore, omit or condense certain footnotes and other information normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  It is suggested that these condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's audited financial statements on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.


We follow United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or GAAP. Certain of the principles involve selection among alternatives and choices of methods, which are described in the footnotes to our unaudited financial statements.  


Cash and Cash Equivalents


We maintain the majority of its cash accounts at a commercial bank. The total cash balance is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000 per commercial bank. For purposes of the statement of cash flows we consider all cash and highly liquid investments with initial maturities of one year or less to be cash equivalents.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS   – (Continued)


Estimates


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


Accounts Receivable


We grant credit to its customers located within the United States of America; and do not require collateral. Our ability to collect receivables is affected by economic fluctuations in the geographic areas and industries served by us.


Reserves for un-collectable amounts are provided, based on past experience and a specific analysis of the accounts.  Although we expect to collect amounts due, actual collections may differ from the estimated amounts. As of December 31, 2009, we had a reserve for potentially un-collectable accounts of $16,620.  Five (5) customers accounted for approximately 73% of accounts receivable at December 31, 2009 and one customer accounted for 21% of the accounts receivable balance. Our trade accounts primarily represent unsecured receivables.  Historically, our bad debt write-offs related to these trade accounts have been insignificant.


Inventory


Inventories are valued at the lower of weighted average cost or market value.   Our industry experiences changes in technology, changes in market value and availability of raw materials, as well as changing customer demand.  We make provisions for estimated excess and obsolete inventories based on regular audits and cycle counts of our on-hand inventory levels and forecasted customer demands and at times additional provisions are made.  Any inventory write offs are charged to the reserve account. As of December 30, 2009, we had a reserve for potentially obsolete inventory of $350,000.  


Property and Equipment


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


Furniture and fixtures

3 to 7 years

Equipment

7 to 10 years

Leasehold improvements

2 years (life of the lease)

PROBE MANUFACTURING, INC.


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS   – (Continued)


Long –Lived Assets


Our management assesses the recoverability of its long-lived assets by determining whether the depreciation and amortization of long lived assets over their remaining lives can be recovered through projected undiscounted future cash flows. The amount of long-lived asset impairment if any, is measured based on fair value and is charged to operations in the period in which long-lived assets impairment is determined by management. There can be no assurance however, that market conditions will not change or demand for our services will continue, which could result in impairment of long-lived assets in the future.


Revenue Recognition


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


Fair Value of Financial Instruments


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


Other Comprehensive Income


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


Net Profit / (Loss) per Common Share                 


Basic profit / (loss) per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  At December 31, 2009, we had outstanding common shares of 184,638,320 used in the calculation of basic earnings per share.  Basic Weighted average common shares and equivalents at for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 were 105,931,471 and 31,932,579 respectively.  As of December 31, 2009, we had outstanding warrants to purchase 14,247,330 additional common shares and options to purchase 1,112,735 additional common shares, which may dilute future earnings per share. Fully diluted weighted average common shares and equivalents for the years ended 2009 and 2008 were 121,404,210 and 15,890,275 respectively, however for the period ended December 31, 2008, all of the Company's common stock equivalents were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per common share because they were anti-dilutive, due to the Company's net loss in that period.

Research and Development:


We are curtailing its research and development and focusing our business on its core business of electronics contract manufacturing.  


Research and Development Costs incurred in association with the alternative fuels technology development (which include salaries and equipment) were expensed as incurred.  We expensed $0 in R&D during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2009.  We expensed $21,093 and $140,667 for the 3 months and nine months ended December 31, 2008, for the acquisition of a 125 KW natural gas distributed power generator converted to run on hydrogen fuel. We have tabled the development of this project.  Our second research and development project involves an Engine Control Unit (ECU) to help convert gasoline cars to run on natural gas.  The Solaris project is in prototype stage.  We have suspended the development of these projects.  


Segment Information      


Except as identified above in the research and development section, we operate our primary business of electronics contract manufacturing.


Share Based Compensation   


The company has adopted the use of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS No. 123R) (now contained in FASB Codification Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation), which supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and its related implementation guidance and eliminates the alternative to use Opinion 25’s intrinsic value method of accounting that was provided in Statement 123 as originally issued. This Statement requires an entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of an equity instruments, which includes grants of stock options and stock warrants, based on the fair value of the award, measured at the grant date, (with limited exceptions). Under this standard, the fair value of each award is estimated on the grant date, using an option-pricing model that meets certain requirements. We use the Black- Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of our equity awards, including stock options and warrants. The Black-Scholes model meets the requirements of SFAS No. 123R; however the fair values generated may not reflect their actual fair values, as it does not consider certain factors, such as vesting requirements, employee attrition and transferability limitations. The Black-Scholes model valuation is affected by our stock price and a number of assumptions, including expected volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. We estimate the expected volatility and estimated life of our stock options at grant date based on historical volatility; however, due to the thinly traded nature of our stock, we have chosen to use an average of the annual volatility of like companies in our industry. For the “risk-free interest rate”, we use the Constant Maturity Treasury rate on 90 day government securities. The term is equal to the time until the option expires. The dividend yield is not applicable, as the company has not paid any dividends, nor do we anticipate paying them in the foreseeable future. The fair value of our restricted stock is based on the market value of our free trading common stock, on the grant date calculated using a 20 trading day average. At the time of grant, the share based-compensation expense is recognized in our financial statements based on awards that are ultimately expected to vest using historical employee attrition rates and the expense is reduced accordingly.  It is also adjusted to account for the restricted and thinly traded nature of the shares.  The expense is reviewed and adjusted in subsequent periods if actual attrition differs from those estimates.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS   – (Continued)



We re-evaluate the assumptions used to value our share-based awards on a quarterly basis and if changes warrant different assumptions, the share-based compensation expense could vary significantly from the amount expensed in the past. We may be required to adjust any remaining share-based compensation expense, based on any additions, cancellations or adjustments to the share based awards. The expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award—the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service.   For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 $8,232 and $37,082 respectively, in share based expense, due to the issuance of our options and warrants.  We also had $5,442 in non-vested expense to be recognized over the next three years.  


Income Taxes


The Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS No. 109 (now contained in FASB Codification Topic 740-10-25, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes), which requires the asset and liability approach to accounting for income taxes.  Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities measured using enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when differences are expected to reverse. As of December 31, 2009, we had a net operating loss carry forward of $(572,790) and a deferred tax asset of $194,749 using the statutory rate of 34%. The deferred tax asset may be recognized in future periods, not to exceed 20 years.  However, due to the uncertainty of our ability to operate as a going concern, we have not booked any deferred tax asset as a result.

NOTE 7 - CAPITAL LEASE SETTLEMENT OBLIGATIONS  


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


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


$375,000 if paid by October 25, 2004

$425,000 if paid by December 25, 2004

$500,000 if paid by June 25, 2005

$550,000 if paid by December 25, 2005

$600,000 if paid by June 25, 2006

$650,000 if paid by December 25, 2006

$700,000 if paid by June 25, 2007


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


1)

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

2)

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

3)

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

4)

We imputed interest at 7.00% over the term of the payments, which resulted in a present value of $384,025 and a gain of $324,330 which had an effect on Net profit per common share of $.031 and Diluted Net Profit per common share of $.022.

5)

As of December 31, 2009 the outstanding balance was $ 260,960.


Unaudited - Subsequently, On April 9, 2009 we entered into an agreement with CIT to settle the balance in full for $70,000, as a result we realized a gain of $190,960.

If we are liquidated, distribute our assets, dissolve or wind-up, the holders of Convertible A Preferred Stock shall receive the greater of (i) $2,500 per share of Convertible A Preferred Stock they hold at the time of such liquidation, or (ii) their pro rata share of the total value of our assets and funds to be distributed, assuming the Convertible A preferred stock is converted to common stock.  On August 14, 2006 the holders converted 440 shares of the Preferred Series A for 4,544,188 shares ofour common stock.

Exchange of Preferred Series B to Preferred Series C


On May 25, 2006 the Board of Directors approved the exchange of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock for Series C No-Par, Convertible Preferred Stock for its Series B stockholders.  After the exchange took place Series B Convertible Preferred Stock was cancelled.  The Series C Convertible Preferred Stock carries the same rights as Series B Convertible Preferred Stock except that Series C Convertible Preferred Stock can be redeemed by us.  At any time, we may, in its sole discretion, redeem some or all of the outstanding shares of Series C Stock at a “Redemption Price” equal to the greater of $120.00 per share for the first year from the date of this certificate and after which the redemption price shall increase by twelve percent (12%) per year until all outstanding shares of Series C have been redeemed.  To redeem Series C Stock, we, at least five (5) days prior to the date on which it desires to redeem such stock (the “Redemption Date”), shall send the applicable holder of Series C Stock a notice of the redemption provided, however, that failure to give such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any shares of Series C Stock.  Such notice shall state:  (i) the redemption date; (ii) the redemption price; and (iii) the number of shares of Series C Stock to be redeemed.  Furthermore, the holders of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock shall receive one A Warrant and one B Warrant for every Ten (10) shares of common stock received from converting a share of our Series C Convertible Preferred stock.  This series A and B Warrants are pursuant to the terms and conditions of our Series A and B warrant agreement as amended.


Preferred Series C


Previously there were 14,040 shares of Convertible C Preferred Stock outstanding.   Originally as filed on May 25, 2006 each share of Series C Stock shall be converted into a number of shares of Common Stock that is equal to each share being divided by the average of the 3 lowest intraday bids in the twenty (20) days prior to conversion or $0.10, whichever is greater, multiplied by 100 (1 divided by x, multiplied by 100), or 125 shares per Series C, whichever is greater. However, on August 07, 2006 the terms of Series C were amended as follows: Each share of Series C stock shall be converted into a number of shares of Common Stock that is equal to each share divided $0.267 multiplied by 100 (1 divided by $0.267, multiplied by 100).


On August 14, 2006 the holders of Preferred Series C elected to convert their shares into common stock.  As a result 14,040 shares of Preferred Series C were converted into 5,265,000 shares of common stock.


Our Board of Directors has the authority to issue additional shares of preferred stock in one or more series, and fix for each series, the designation of and number of shares to be included in each such series. Our Board of Directors is also authorized to set the powers, privileges, preferences, and relative participating, optional or other rights, if any, of the shares of each such series and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of the shares of each such series.


Unless our Board of Directors provides otherwise, the shares of all series of preferred stock will rank on parity with respect to the payment of dividends and to the distribution of assets upon liquidation. Any issuance by us of shares of our preferred stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of our control or an unsolicited acquisition proposal. The issuance of preferred stock also could decrease the amount of earnings and assets available for distribution to the holders of common stock or could adversely affect the rights and powers, including voting rights, of the holders of common stock.

ITEM 9A.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.



Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Securities Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. 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, as ours are designed to do, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

 

As of December 31, 2009, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in enabling us to record, process, summarize and report information required to be included in our periodic SEC filings within the required time period.

 

Report of Management on Internal Control over Financial Reporting




57 of 68


Table of Contents                                                                                                        Financial Statements         


 

We are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as a process designed by, or under the supervision of our principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:


§

pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and disposition of our assets;


§

provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorization of our management and directors; and


§

provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.


Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

We have assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009.  In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.


Based on our assessment, we believe that, as of December 31, 2009, our internal control over financial reporting is effective at a reasonable assurance level based on these criteria.


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


Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Our full Board of Directors performs the functions of an Audit Committee.  During fiscal year 2008, the Board of Directors  adopted  policies  and  procedures  for the pre-approval of audit and non-audit  services  for  the  purpose  of  maintaining  the independence of our independent  auditors.  We may not engage our independent auditors to render any audit or non-audit service unless either the service is approved in advance by the Board of Directors or the engagement to render the service is entered into pursuant to the Board of Director's pre-approval policies and procedures. On an annual basis, the Board of Directors may pre-approve services that are expected to be provided to us by the independent auditors during the following 12 months. At  the  time  such  pre-approval  is  granted,  the Board of Directors must (1) identify the particular pre-approved services in a sufficient level of detail so that  management  will  not  be  called  upon  to  make judgment as to whether a proposed  service  fits  within  the  pre-approved  services and (2) establish a monetary limit with respect to each particular pre-approved service, which limit may  not  be  exceeded  without obtaining further pre-approval under the policy.


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