1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND GOING CONCERN
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information which includes condensed financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position and results of operations and should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report, Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

It is management's opinion that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation. The results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year.

(formerly known as Waytronx, Inc.) is a platform company dedicated to maximizing shareholder value through the acquisition, development and commercialization of new, innovative technologies. Through its subsidiaries, CUI Global has built a diversified portfolio of industry leading technologies that touch many markets.

Effective May 16, 2008, CUI Global, Inc. formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Waytronx Holdings, Inc., to acquire the assets of CUI, Inc., a Tualatin, Oregon based provider of electronic components including power supplies, transformers, converters, connectors and industrial controls for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). The wholly owned subsidiary was renamed CUI, Inc. following the close of the acquisition. Through the acquisition of CUI, Inc., the Company obtained 352,589 common shares (representing a 11.54% and 10.47% interest at September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively) in Test Products International, Inc., a provider of handheld test and measurement equipment. Since its inception in 1989, CUI has been delivering quality products, extensive application solutions and superior personal service. CUI's solid customer commitment and honest corporate message are a hallmark in the industry.

Through CUI’s capabilities and extensive contacts throughout Asia, this acquisition allows CUI Global to continue to identify, acquire and commercialize new proprietary technologies. CUI Global will use CUI’s market partners and global distribution capabilities to bring other products to market, including the Novum Digital Power Modules, Solus Power Topology, Vergence GASPT2 and other proprietary devices, described below. CUI’s testing and R&D capabilities allow CUI Global to commercialize and prototype its products more efficiently and economically.

CUI defines its product into three categories: components including connectors, speakers and buzzers; control solutions including encoders and sensors; and power solutions known as V-Infinity. These offerings provide a technology architecture that addresses power and related accessories to industries ranging from consumer electronics to defense and alternative energy.

Effective July 1, 2009, CUI Global acquired CUI Japan (formerly Comex Instruments, Ltd.) and 49% of Comex Electronics Ltd. Both companies are Japanese based.  CUI Japan provides test and measurement systems and electronic components and Comex Instruments is a DSP provider of digital to analog and analog to digital test and measurement systems for OEM research and development. Effective July 1, 2011, CUI Global entered into an agreement to divest the 49% ownership of Comex Electronics as of July 1, 2011, as such, the operations of Comex Electronics are reported as discontinued operations for the current and comparable periods.  CUI Global will continue to maintain its 100% ownership of CUI Japan.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that CUI Global will continue as a going concern. As reflected in these financial statements, CUI Global  had an accumulated deficit of $73,486,649 and working capital deficit from continuing operations of $1,139,628 as of September 30, 2011. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability to bring additional technologies and products to market, generate increased sales, obtain positive cash flow from operations and raise additional capital. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

We will continue to raise additional capital to provide sufficient cash to meet the funding required to develop and commercialize our technology product lines. As we continue to expand and develop technology and product lines, additional funding may be required. There have been negative cash flows from operations and incurred net losses in the past and there can be no assurance as to the availability or terms upon which additional financing and capital might be available if needed.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, 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. Significant estimates in 2011 and 2010 include estimates used to review the Company’s long-lived assets for impairment, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, valuations of non-cash capital stock issuances, valuations of derivatives and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CUI Global, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiary CUI, Inc. and CUI Japan and its 49% owned subsidiary Comex Electronics (through July 1, 2011 date of disposal) hereafter referred to as the “Company”. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expense and other assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, notes payable and deferred compensation approximate their fair value due as of September 30, 2011.

Cash
Cash includes deposits at financial institutions with maturities of three months or less. The Company at times has cash in banks in excess of FDIC insurance limits and places its temporary cash investments with high credit quality financial institutions. At September 30, 2011, the Company had no cash balances at financial institutions which were in excess of the FDIC insured limits. The Company maintained cash balances of $142,559 in foreign financial institutions.

Accounts Receivable
The Company grants credit to its customers, with standard terms of Net 30 days. Other credit terms are available based upon a review of the customer’s financial strength. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, therefore, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure is limited. In addition, the Company maintains a foreign credit receivables insurance policy that covers many of its receivable balances in effort to further reduce credit risk exposure.

Inventory
Inventory consists of finished and un-finished products. At September 30, 2011, the Company had finished goods of $4,097,561, raw materials of $219,585, work in process of $10,440 and an allowance of $300,000.

Furniture, Equipment and Software
Furniture, equipment and software are recorded at cost and include major expenditures, which increase productivity or substantially increase useful lives.

Maintenance, repairs and minor replacements are charged to expenses when incurred. When furniture and equipment is sold or otherwise disposed of, the asset and related accumulated depreciation are removed from this account, and any gain or loss is included in the statement of operations.

The cost of furniture, equipment and software is depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes. The estimated useful lives and accumulated depreciation for furniture, equipment and software are as follows:

   
Estimated
Useful Life
Furniture and equipment
 
3 to 7 years
Software
 
3 to 5 years


Identifiable Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are stated at cost net of accumulated amortization and impairment. Intangible assets other than goodwill, technology rights and patents are amortized over an estimated useful life of 15 years. Technology rights are amortized over the shorter of a twenty year life or the term of the rights agreement and are reviewed for impairment annually. Patent costs are amortized over the life of the patent. Any patents not approved will be expensed at that time.

Intangible assets consist of the following as of September 30, 2011:

Investment in Affiliate
Through the acquisition of CUI, Inc. the Company obtained 352,589 common shares representing an 11.54% and 10.47% interest at September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, in Test Products International, Inc., hereafter referred to as TPI. TPI is a provider of handheld test and measurement equipment. The Company enjoys a close association with this affiliate through common Board of Director membership and participation that allows for a significant amount of influence over affiliate business decisions. Accordingly, for financial statement purposes, the Company accounts for its investment in this affiliated entity under the equity method.

A summary of the unaudited financial statements of the affiliate as of September 30, 2011 is as follows:

Current assets
  $ 5,720,681  
Non-current assets

Asset Impairment
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value and may not be recoverable. In performing the review for recoverability, the future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are estimated. If the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized as the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value. Otherwise, an impairment loss is not recognized. Management estimates the fair value and the estimated future cash flows expected. Any changes in these estimates could impact whether there was impairment and the amount of the impairment.  
 
Patent Costs
The Company estimates the patents it has filed have a future beneficial value; therefore it capitalizes the costs associated with filing for its patents. At the time the patent is approved, the patent costs associated with the patent are amortized over the useful life of the patent. If the patent is not approved, at that time the costs will be expensed. A change in the estimate of the patent having a future beneficial value will impact the other assets and expense accounts.

Derivative Liabilities
The Company accounts for its embedded conversion features and freestanding warrants pursuant to FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 815 (“FASB ASC 815”), “Derivatives and Hedging ”, which requires a periodic valuation of the fair value of derivative instruments and a corresponding recognition of liabilities associated with such derivatives. The recognition of derivative liabilities related to the issuance of shares of common stock is applied first to the proceeds of such issuance, at the date of issuance, and the excess of derivative liabilities over the proceeds is recognized as other expense in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The recognition of derivative liabilities related to the issuance of convertible debt is applied first to the proceeds of such issuance as a debt discount, at the date of issuance, and the excess of derivative liabilities over the proceeds is recognized as other expense in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Any subsequent increase or decrease in the fair value of the derivative liabilities is recognized as other expense or other income, respectively. The reclassification of a contract is reassessed at each balance sheet date. If a contract is reclassified from permanent equity to an asset or a liability, the change in the fair value of the contract during the period the contract was classified as equity is accounted for as an adjustment to equity. If a contract is reclassified from an asset or liability to equity, gains or losses recorded to account for the contract at fair value during the period that contract was classified as an asset or a liability are not reversed but instead are accounted for as an adjustment to equity.

Revenue Recognition
The recognition of revenues requires judgment, including whether a sale includes multiple elements, and if so, whether vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) of fair value exists for those elements. Customers receive certain elements of CUI Global products over a period of time. These elements include licensing rights to manufacture and sell our proprietary patent protected products. The ability to identify VSOE for those elements and the fair value of the respective elements could materially impact the amount of earned and unearned revenue. CUI Global does not have any history as to the costs expected to be incurred in granting licensing rights relating to its products. Therefore, revenues may be recorded that are not in proportion to the costs expected to be incurred in performing these services.

Revenues in connection with electronic devices and component sales by CUI, Inc. are recognized at the time the product is shipped to the customer.

Revenues in connection with product sales by CUI Japan and the discontinued operations of Comex Electronics are recognized at the time the product is shipped to the customer. VSOE sales also exist for CUI Japan and Comex Electronics related to the development of product for specific customers. The ability to identify VSOE for those elements and the fair value of the respective elements could materially impact the amount of earned and unearned revenue. VSOE sales are invoiced according to the related sales agreements.

Shipping and Handling Costs
Amounts billed to customers in sales transactions related to shipping and handling represent revenues earned for the goods provided and are included in sales. Costs of shipping and handling are included in cost of revenues.

Stock issued for services to other than Employees
Common stock, stock options and common stock warrants issued to other than employees or directors are recorded on the basis of their fair value, as required by FASB ASC 505, which is measured as of the date required by FASB ASC 505, “Equity – Based Payments to Non-Employees”. In accordance with FASB ASC 505, the stock options or common stock warrants are valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model on the basis of the market price of the underlying common stock on the “valuation date,” which for options and warrants related to contracts that have substantial disincentives to non-performance is the date of the contract, and for all other contracts is the vesting date. Expense related to the options and warrants is recognized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the period over which services are to be received or the vesting period. Where expense must be recognized prior to a valuation date, the expense is computed under the Black-Scholes option pricing model on the basis of the market price of the underlying common stock at the end of the period, and any subsequent changes in the market price of the underlying common stock up through the valuation date is reflected in the expense recorded in the subsequent period in which that change occurs.

Foreign Currency Translation
The financial statements of the Company's foreign offices have been translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with FASB ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Matters” (FASB ASC 830). All balance sheet accounts have been translated using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Income statement amounts have been translated using an appropriately weighted average exchange rate for the year. The translation gains and losses resulting from the changes in exchange rates during 2011 and 2010 have been reported in accumulated other comprehensive income, except for gains and losses resulting from the translation of intercompany receivables and payables, which are included in earnings for the period.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
ASU No. 2011-03; Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements.  In April, 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-03. The amendments in this ASU remove from the assessment of effective control the criterion relating to the transferor’s ability to repurchase or redeem financial assets on substantially the agreed terms, even in the event of default by the transferee. The amendments in this ASU also eliminate the requirement to demonstrate that the transferor possesses adequate collateral to fund substantially all the cost of purchasing replacement financial assets.

The guidance in this ASU is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The guidance should be applied prospectively to transactions or modifications of existing transactions that occur on or after the effective date. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company will adopt the methodologies prescribed by this ASU by the date required, and does not anticipate that the ASU will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

ASU No. 2011-04; Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.   In May, 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04. The amendments in this ASU generally represent clarifications of Topic 820, but also include some instances where a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair value measurements has changed.  This ASU results in common principles and requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.  The amendments in this ASU are to be applied prospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early application by public entities is not permitted.

The Company will adopt the methodologies prescribed by this ASU by the date required, and does not anticipate that the ASU will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

ASU No. 2011-05; Amendments to Topic 220, Comprehensive Income.  In June, 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05. Under the amendments in this ASU, an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. This ASU eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. The amendments in this ASU do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income.
 
 
14

 
 
The amendments in this ASU should be applied retrospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted, because compliance with the amendments is already permitted. The amendments do not require any transition disclosures. Due to the recency of this pronouncement, the Company is evaluating its timing of adoption of ASU 2011-05, but will adopt the ASU retrospectively by the due date.

On September 15, 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, which simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment. This ASU would allow an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. Under the ASU, an entity would not be required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. The ASU includes a number of factors to consider in conducting the qualitative assessment.  The ASU is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011.  Early adoption is permitted. This standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s reported results of operations or financial position.

3. INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
 
Common stock equivalents in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 were anti-dilutive, thus the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for this period are the same as the basic weighted average common shares outstanding.

At September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, 5,800,623 and 21,035,683 potential common stock shares are issuable upon the exercise of warrants and options and conversion of debt to common stock. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, 8,401,155 and 7,068,655 shares, respectively, related to warrants and options were excluded from the September 30, 2011 computation of diluted earnings per share as they were anti-dilutive due to their exercise price being in excess of the average close price for the three and nine month period ended or they were not yet vested.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

4. INCOME TAXES

An income tax benefit has not been recognized for operating losses generated in prior periods based on uncertainties concerning the ability to generate taxable income in future periods. The tax benefit as of the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 is offset by a valuation allowance established against deferred tax assets arising from operating losses and other temporary differences, the realization of which could not be considered more likely than not. In future periods, tax benefits and related deferred tax assets will be recognized when management considers realization of such amounts to be more likely than not.

5.  WORKING CAPITAL LINE OF CREDIT

At September 30, 2011, the Company maintained a $4,000,000 revolving working capital line of credit with the Business Credit division of Wells Fargo Capital Finance, part of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (NYSE: WFC), interest payable monthly at the Daily Three Month LIBOR plus 3.75% (4.119% at September 30, 2011). The Wells Fargo LOC expires July 31, 2013. As of the date of this filing, the Company is compliant with all covenants on the new line of credit with Wells Fargo Capital Finance. At September 30, 2011, the balance outstanding on the line of credit was $2,223,431.

6.  OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

On May 15, 2008, the Board of Directors approved the Waytronx, Inc. 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (“2008 Plan”) for 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The 2008 Plan provides for the issuance of stock options to attract, retain and motivate employees, to encourage employees, directors and independent contractors to acquire an equity interest in the Company, to make monetary payments to certain employees based upon the value of the Company’s stock, and provide employees, directors and independent contractors with an incentive to maximize the success of the Company and further the interest of the shareholders. The 2008 Plan provides for the issuance of Incentive Stock Options and Non Statutory Options. The Administrator of the plan shall determine the exercise price per share at the time the option is granted, but the exercise price shall not be less than the fair market value on the date the option is granted. Stock options granted under the 2008 Plan have a maximum duration of 10 years.

At the 2009 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on September 29, 2009, the shareholders approved an amendment to the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan to increase the number of common shares issuable under the plan from 1,500,000 to 3,000,000. All of these shares have been registered under Form S-8.

The 2008 Equity Incentive Plans is intended to: (a) provide incentive to employees of the Company and its affiliates to stimulate their efforts toward the continued success of the Company and to operate and manage the business in a manner that will provide for the long-term growth and profitability of the Company; (b) encourage stock ownership by employees, directors and independent contractors by providing them with a means to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company by acquiring shares of Stock or to receive compensation which is based upon appreciation in the value of Stock; and (c) provide a means of obtaining and rewarding employees, directors, independent contractors and advisors.

The 2008 Equity Incentive Plans provide for the issuance of incentive stock options (ISOs) and Non Statutory Options (NSOs) to employees, directors and independent contractors of the Company. The Board shall determine the exercise price per share in the case of an ISO at the time an option is granted and such price shall be not less than the fair market value or 110% of fair market value in the case of a ten percent or greater stockholder. In the case of an NSO, the exercise price shall not be less than the fair market value of one share of stock on the date the option is granted. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, ISOs and NSOs granted under the both plans have a maximum duration of 10 years.

On January 5, 2009 the Company Board of Directors received and approved a written report and recommendations of the Compensation Committee which included a detailed executive equity compensation report and market analysis and the recommendations of Compensia, Inc., a management consulting firm that provides executive compensation advisory services to compensation committees and senior management of knowledge-based companies. The Compensation Committee used the report and analysis as a basis for its formal written recommendation to the Board. Pursuant to a January 8, 2009 board resolution the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (Executive), a Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan, was created and funded with 4,200,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock. The Compensation Committee was appointed as the Plan Administrator to manage the plan. On October 11, 2010, CUI Global authorized an additional 3,060,382 options under the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (Executive).

The 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (Executive) provides for the issuance of Incentive Non Statutory Options to attract, retain and motivate executive and management employees and directors and to encourage these individuals to acquire an equity interest in the Company, to make monetary payments to certain management employees and directors based upon the value of the Company’s stock and to provide these individuals with an incentive to maximize the success of the Company and further the interest of the shareholders. The Administrator of the plan is authorized to determine the exercise price per share at the time the option is granted, but the exercise price shall not be less than the fair market value on the date the option is granted. Stock options granted under the 2009 Plan have a maximum duration of 10 years.

CUI defines its product into three categories: components including connectors, speakers and buzzers; control solutions including encoders and sensors; and power solutions known as V-Infinity.  These offerings, combined with the Waytronx portfolio of cooling solutions and the Vergence GasPT2 metering device, among other technologies, provide an architecture that addresses power and related accessories, metering and thermal management to industries ranging from consumer electronics to defense and alternative energy to some of the largest natural gas providers in the World.

V-Infinity Power
 Our current power line, V-Infinity, consists of external and embedded ac-dc power supplies, dc-dc converters, and basic digital point of load modules.  This dynamic, broadly applicable product line accounts for a significant portion of our current revenue and recent revenue growth.

Novum™ Advanced Power
CUI entered into a non-exclusive Field of Use Agreement with Power-One, Inc. (Nasdaq: PWER) to license Power-One’s Digital Power Technology patents.  The license provides access to Power-One’s portfolio of Digital Power Technology patents for incorporation into CUI’s new line of digital point of load power modules.  CUI, through its power division, manufactures a range of embedded and external power electronics devices for OEM manufacturers.

We have developed the first fully featured digital point of load dc-dc converter in the power market under our Novum Advanced Power line of products.  This product is a next generation product targeted at the intermediate bus power architecture that is prolifically used in the telecom and networking communications market.  In September of 2010 we released full production versions of two point of load modules.  We were finalists for the prestigious Golden Mousetrap Award and EDN Innovation Award for these parts in 2010.  With the shift towards smarter, smaller, and more energy efficient power requirements, engineers are seeking innovative solutions that allow them to keep pace with lower core voltages, faster transient response needs, and increasing thermal issues that they face in their designs.  Our recently introduced Novum NDM2 modules, with a full suite of digital features, specifically address these growing system complexities through intelligent power management.  The NDM2 series is the first to be designed by the company as part of the Ericsson cooperation announced in July.  The agreement formalizes a plan between the two companies to offer a multi-source digital POL platform based on the Ericsson BMR46X series, with future plans to co-develop modules outside the existing range of 10~50A.  We have also developed a middle ground product to ease the customer base into the benefits of digital in power.  We developed a “smart module” that allows for the benefits of digital in the design cycle but when installed functions like a highly optimized analog unit.

Solus™ Power Topology
CUI entered into an exclusive Field of Use Agreement with California Power Research to license their BPS-5 topology, now marketed as the Solus Topology.  Through the Solus Topology, we have a proprietary patented power topology for designing unique power circuits.  This topology allows for higher efficiencies, densities, response time, and price competitiveness that is otherwise unavailable.  Our initial product designed using this topology is in the quarter brick dc-dc converter market.  Solus is an entirely new topology, rich in features that accelerate the performance trend trajectories for the big-four power conversion needs in the telecom and server markets:  greater efficiency; higher power density; reduced EMI (electro-magnetic interference); and faster transient response four times as fast.  We have introduced the NQB2060 Novum® one quarter brick bus converter as a prime example of the benchmark 720 watts output power performance using the Solus Topology.  Since the Solus Topology maintains it effectiveness independent of the control method used, it can operate with analog voltage mode control, analog current mode control, and various digital control profiles.  That unique feature opens the door for the company to implement this topology in a wide variety of power supply product platforms.  We believe that this topology will allow for at least a decade of new product designs and introductions.
 

 
 
21

 
 
As the large scale networking and telecommunications companies convert to digital power, our early entry into the market, our unique Solus Topology, and our relationship with Ericsson should enhance our ability to penetrate this (according to the Darnell Group) multi-billion dollar market.

AMT Encoder
Through a licensing agreement, the company has an exclusive agreement to develop, sell, and distribute the AMT encoder worldwide.  The AMT series modular encoder is designed with proprietary, capacitive, code-generating technology as opposed to optical or magnetic encoding.  This unique device allows breakthroughs in selectable resolution, shaft-adaptation, and convenient mounting solutions to bring ease of installation, reduction in SKU’s, and economies of scale in purchasing.  The AMT amounts to almost 2000 different encoders in one package.  The company is selling and distributing the AMT through various customers.  Moreover, the product is being marketed by multiple DC motor manufacturers.  The AMT has been awarded several design wins from Motion Control OEM’s producing a wide range of products from cash machines to robotics.

Vergence GasPT2
Through an exclusive licensing contract with GL Industrial Services UK, Ltd. (GL), formerly British-based Advantica, Ltd., CUI Global owns exclusive rights to manufacture, sell, and distribute a Gas Quality Inferential Measurement Device (GASPT2) designed by GL on a worldwide basis, now marketed as the VergenceTM GasPT2.

The Vergence natural gas inferential metering device, the GasPT2, is a low cost solution to measuring natural gas quality.  It can be connected to a natural gas system to provide a fast, accurate, close to real time measurement of the physical properties, such as thermal conductivity, speed of sound and carbon dioxide content.  From these measurements it infers an effective gas mixture comprising four components: methane, propane, nitrogen, and measured carbon dioxide and then uses ISO6976 to calculate the gas quality characteristics of calorific value (CV), Wobbe index (WI), relative density (RD), and compression factor (Z)."  An ISO, International Organization for Standardization, is a documented agreement containing technical specifications or other precise criteria to be used consistently as rules, guidelines, or definitions of characteristics to ensure that materials, products, processes and services are fit for their purpose.

This new and innovative technology has been certified for use in fiscal monitoring by Ofgem in the United Kingdom and SNAM RETE in Italy.  At present, there is no equivalent product competition.  There are instruments like gas chromatographs (“GC”), but they are slow, complicated to use, and as much as double the price of the GasPT2.

By way of example, in the case of SNAM RETE, the Italian gas transmission company, there are 13 natural gas injection points for the SNAM RETE system.  Those injection points will continue to use GC’s for monitoring.  On the other hand, there are 7,500 customer access points in the system.  Those would include city gates, large industrial users, power generation plants and others.  All of those customer access ports would be applicable for the Vergence Technology.  In the case of ENAGAS in Spain that ratio is 6 injection points and over 300 access points.

In addition to these numbers, there are currently 8,000 gas turbines in operation worldwide.  Each of those turbines are subject to variances in natural gas quality.  Depending on the quality of the gas, those very expensive machines can be tuned to run more efficiently and therefore longer with much cleaner emissions.  Currently, because of the delay in information from the GC’s, such tuning cannot be effectively accomplished.  Operators attempt to deal with the delay by placing the monitoring station miles away from the turbine or creating large holding tanks to maintain the gas until an analysis can be completed.  The use of the Vergence Technology, will enable those operators to place the GasPT2 units right next to the turbines and by interfacing them with the machine’s process control software, the tuning can be accomplished on almost a real-time basis; thus, allowing the turbines to run longer, more efficiently, and cleaner.

CUI Japan and the discontinued operations of Comex Electronics -Subsidiaries
In July 2009 CUI Global acquired, as a wholly owned subsidiary, Comex Instruments, Ltd., now known as CUI Japan, and 49% of Comex Electronics, Ltd.  Both companies are Japanese based providers of electronic components.  Effective July 1, 2011, CUI Global entered into an agreement to convey the 49% ownership of Comex Electronics to the owners of the 51%, the original founders of Comex Instruments, for $617,975 in the form of a five year note receivable bearing interest at 4% per annum, payable monthly beginning January 2012.  The operations of CUI Japan are not affected by this divestment.  The financial statements included herein report the operations of Comex Electronics under discontinued operations and include a gain on divestment of Comex Electronics of $603,034.

Impact of Japan Earthquake and Tsunami of 2011
CUI Global, Inc. subsidiaries CUI Japan and the discontinued operations of Comex Electronics did not experience any damages to facilities or injuries to employees as a result of the March 2011 earthquake and subsequent tsunami.  CUI Global continues to analyze the broader effects on its industries and its business.  While the Japan subsidiaries are a relatively small component of CUI Global, Inc.’s total revenue, Japan is a large supplier to the global market for semiconductors and other components.  The electronics industry, as well as many other industries, source components from Japan.  It is most likely that the events in Japan will affect the supply of components.  Business continuity plans and work to assess the impact, if any, on CUI Global, Inc. and mitigation activities has been ongoing since the event took place.  We will continue to closely monitor the situation in Japan to take further action where necessary.  Additionally, the Company agreed to divest its 49% ownership of Comex Electronics that became effective July 1, 2011.  CUI Global will continue to maintain its 100% ownership of CUI Japan.

WayCool/WayFast
While we continue to believe in the value and viability of the WayCool/WayFast technology and related patent portfolio, we have yet to hear back from our submission to DARPA.  Moreover, a thorough analysis of the WayCool/WayFast Technology reveals that development will consume significant additional monies and as much as two to three years of development.  Taking those facts into account, the Company has made the decision to postpone any further development of the technology while it continues to seek other options for commercializing this technology, including continuing its relationship with Innovaro.  In 2010, the Company recorded impairment charges of $3,105,956 on the technology rights and $418,185 on patents associated with the WayCool/WayFast technology.

The Company relies on various intellectual property laws and contractual restrictions to protect its proprietary rights in products, logos and services.  These include confidentiality, invention assignment, and nondisclosure agreements with employees, contractors, suppliers and strategic partners.  The confidentiality and nondisclosure agreements with employees, contractors and suppliers are in perpetuity or for a sufficient length of time so as to not threaten exposure of proprietary information.

CUI Global continues to file and protect its intellectual property rights, trademarks and products through filings with the US Patent and Trademark Office and, as applicable, internationally.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General
Cash and cash equivalents from continuing operations at September 30, 2011 are $143,750 and there is a working capital deficit of $1,139,628.  Operations and investments in patents and equipment have been funded through cash from operations, proceeds from equity financings and borrowings from financial institutions during the nine month period.

Cash provided by (used in) operations
Operating requirements generated a positive cash flow from continuing operations of $264,625 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, versus positive cash flow from continuing operations of $1,223,268 for the same period last year.  The change in cash provided by (used in) operations is primarily the result of the lower net loss incurred in the first nine months of 2011 associated with a decrease in non-cash interest expense and increase in sales and gross profit, an increase in bad debt expense, increase in depreciation and amortization expenses, an increase in trade accounts receivable, an increase in inventory, a decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets, decreased deposits and other assets, increase in accounts payable, decrease in accrued expenses, a decrease in accrued compensation and a decrease in unearned revenue.

During the first nine months of 2011 and 2010 stock options have been used as a form of payment to certain consultants, note holders, employees and directors.  For the first nine months of 2011 and 2010, a total of $183,532 and $69,734, respectively, was recorded for compensation and services expense including amortization of deferred compensation related to equity given, or to be given, to employees, directors and consultants for services provided.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 the Company had positive cash flow from discontinued operations of $22,141 as compared to a negative cash flow in the prior year comparative period of $805,557. 
 
As the Company focuses on technology development and product line additions during 2011, it will continue to fund research and development together with related sales and marketing efforts for its various product offerings.

Capital Expenditures and Investments
The Company invested $0 in technology rights and development during the first nine months of 2011.  During the prior year, the Company invested $70,000 in technology rights and development.

CUI Global invested $6,646 in patent costs during the first nine months of 2011 as compared to $7,230 for the same period last year.  It is expected that investment in patent costs will continue throughout 2011 as patents are pursued in order to protect the rights to use its product developments.

The Company invested $37,418 in other intangible assets during the first nine months of 2011 as compared to $0 for the same period last year.

During the first nine months of 2011 and 2010, there was $343,086 and $329,068 investment in property and equipment, respectively.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 the Company had net cash provided by discontinued investing activities of $195,278 compared to net cash used by discontinued investing activities of $40,639 during the prior year nine month period.

Financing activities
During the first nine months of 2011, the Company received proceeds of $673,652 on demand notes payable, $58,531 of payments were made against notes and loans payable, $487,208 of payments were made against notes and loans payable, related party, $35,000 of proceeds were received from a convertible note payable, related party and $50,000 of proceeds were received in relation to the exercise of warrants.  CUI Global plans on raising the capital needed to fund the further development and marketing of its products as well as payment of its debt obligations.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, net cash used in discontinued financing activities for discontinued operations included $648,218 of payments made against notes and loans payable.

Recap of liquidity and capital resources
The report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our financial statements as of December 31, 2010 contains an explanatory paragraph expressing uncertainty with respect to our ability to continue as a going concern.  Prior to the acquisition of CUI, Inc. the Company was not generating significant revenues to fund operations.  Management believes the Company to be generating sufficient revenues to fund operations.  As of September 30, 2011 the Company had an accumulated deficit of $73,486,649.

The Company may seek to raise additional capital for the commercialization and further development of its product and technology offerings as well as to further reduce debt.  The Company believes its operations and existing financing structure will provide sufficient cash to meet its short-term working capital requirements for the next twelve months.  As the Company continues to expand and develop its technology and product lines as well as retire debt, additional funding sources may be required.  The Company will attempt to raise these funds through borrowing instruments or issuing additional equity.

At September 30, 2011, the Company maintained a $4,000,000 revolving working capital line of credit with the Business Credit division of Wells Fargo Capital Finance, part of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (NYSE:WFC), interest payable monthly at the Daily Three Month LIBOR plus 3.75% (4.119% at September 30, 2011).  The Wells Fargo LOC expires July 31, 2013.  As of the date of this filing, the Company is compliant with all covenants on the new line of credit with Wells Fargo Capital Finance.  At September 30, 2011, the balance outstanding on the line of credit was $2,223,431.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company received $50,000 from equity investments through the exercise of warrants.

The Company expects the revenues from CUI, Inc. and CUI Japan to help cover operating and other expenses for the next twelve months of operations.  If revenues are not sufficient to cover all operating and other expenses, additional funding will be required.  There is no assurance the Company will be able to raise such additional capital.  The failure to raise capital or generate product sales in the expected time frame will have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Results of Operations

Revenue
During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, revenue was $30,147,628 and $26,282,808, respectively.  The revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 is comprised of $29,799,472 from CUI products, $298,402 from CUI Japan products, and $49,754 for freight.  The revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 is comprised of $26,052,800 from CUI products, $171,290 from CUI Japan products, $57,948 for freight, and $770 from RediAlert™ products.

During the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, revenue was $10,728,215 and $9,761,898, respectively.  The revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2011 is comprised of $10,498,181 from CUI products, $217,382 from CUI Japan products and $12,652 from freight.  The revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2010 is comprised of $9,719,432 from CUI products, $20,257 from CUI Japan and Comex Electronics products and $21,534 for freight and $675 from RediAlert™ products.

The increase in revenues during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 is the result of continued product introductions, the enhanced sales group including external sales representatives and the overall improvement in the electronics industry.

Cost of revenues
The cost of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was $18,565,279 and $15,850,046, respectively.  For the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the cost of revenue was $6,706,311 and $5,775,854, respectively.

The cost of revenues as a percentage of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased slightly to 61.58% from 60.31% during the prior year comparative period.  For the three months ended September 30, 2011, the cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue increased slightly to 62.51% percentage from 59.17% in the prior year period.  This percentage will vary based upon the product mix sold during the period and is also dependent upon the competitive markets in which the Company competes as well as foreign exchange rates.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) expenses include such items as wages, commissions, consulting, general office expenses, business promotion expenses and costs of being a public company, including legal and accounting fees, insurance and investor relations.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010, SG&A expenses increased $1,658,898.  The increase is primarily associated with the increase in overall business activity.  As a percentage of total revenue, SG&A expenses have increased 1.32% as compared to the first nine months of 2010.

Research and Development
The research and development costs are related to the development of technology and products.  Research and development costs were $529,863 and $563,196, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  The expense is associated with continued research and development of new and existing technologies including the Novum digital power modules, Solus advanced power topology, Vergence GasPT2, and other products.

Bad Debt
The bad debt expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was $77,449 and $27,954, respectively.  The bad debt expense for both periods relates to several individual customers.

Other Income
Other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, consisted of $17,614 from the recovery of bad debts, $9,762 of gain on foreign exchange, $8,542 of interest income and $235 of miscellaneous income.  Other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, consisted of $24,820 gain on foreign exchange, $20,069 recovery of bad debts, $18,431 of interest income ($6,637 from related party), $18,090 of rental income, and $3,629 of miscellaneous income.

Investment Income
The Company recognized income of $21,457 on equity investment in affiliate for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  For the same period ended 2010, the Company recognized income of $50,796 on equity investment in an affiliate.

Convertible debt and amortization of debt discount and debt offering costs
The Company recorded an expense of $19,167 and $316,414, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, and $419,423 and $3,668,122 for the same periods in 2010, for the amortization of debt discount and debt offering costs.  The decrease in expense in 2011 is related to the reduction in the debt discount related to the 2009 and 2010 reductions of debt and related debt discounts associated with the convertible note and note payable used to fund the acquisition of CUI, Inc.

Interest Expense
The interest expense of $686,913 and $914,688 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 respectively is for interest on the bank operating line of credit, bank loans, and secured and unsecured promissory notes. The decrease is primarily due to the reduction of debt in 2010 and the first nine months of 2011 through debt settlements and principal payments.

Profit (loss) from discontinued operations
During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 the loss from discontinued operations was $160,153 as compared to a loss of $74,659 for the same period of 2010.  For the three months ended September 30, 2011 there was no income from discontinued operations compared with a profit from discontinued operations during the three months ended September 30, 2010 of $5,213.
 
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 CUI Global recognized a gain on divestment of Comex Electronics of $312,635 and $603,034, respectively, in discontinued operations.  There was no gain on divestment of Comex Electronics during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010.
 
For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company had a net profit from discontinued operations of $442,881 as compared to a loss of $74,659 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  During the three months ended September 30, 2011 the Company had a $312,635 net profit from discontinued operations as compared to a net profit of $5,213 for the same period ended 2010.

Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).  GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenue and expense amounts reported.  These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition.  We believe our use if estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied.  We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances.  Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.  We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.

Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 2 of our financial statements.  While all these significant accounting policies impact its financial condition and results of operations, we view certain of these policies as critical.  Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on our financial statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates.  Actual results may differ from those estimates.  Our management believes that given current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any other reasonable judgments or estimate methodologies would cause effect on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity for the periods presented in this report.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
ASU No. 2011-03; Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements.  In April, 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-03. The amendments in this ASU remove from the assessment of effective control the criterion relating to the transferor’s ability to repurchase or redeem financial assets on substantially the agreed terms, even in the event of default by the transferee. The amendments in this ASU also eliminate the requirement to demonstrate that the transferor possesses adequate collateral to fund substantially all the cost of purchasing replacement financial assets.

The guidance in this ASU is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The guidance should be applied prospectively to transactions or modifications of existing transactions that occur on or after the effective date. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company will adopt the methodologies prescribed by this ASU by the date required, and does not anticipate that the ASU will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

ASU No. 2011-04; Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.   In May, 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04. The amendments in this ASU generally represent clarifications of Topic 820, but also include some instances where a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair value measurements has changed.  This ASU results in common principles and requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.  The amendments in this ASU are to be applied prospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early application by public entities is not permitted.

The Company will adopt the methodologies prescribed by this ASU by the date required, and does not anticipate that the ASU will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

ASU No. 2011-05; Amendments to Topic 220, Comprehensive Income.  In June, 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05. Under the amendments in this ASU, an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. This ASU eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. The amendments in this ASU do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income.

The amendments in this ASU should be applied retrospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted, because compliance with the amendments is already permitted. The amendments do not require any transition disclosures. Due to the recency of this pronouncement, the Company is evaluating its timing of adoption of ASU 2011-05, but will adopt the ASU retrospectively by the due date.

On September 15, 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, which simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment. This ASU would allow an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. Under the ASU, an entity would not be required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. The ASU includes a number of factors to consider in conducting the qualitative assessment.  The ASU is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011.  Early adoption is permitted. This standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s reported results of operations or financial position.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

A smaller reporting company, as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1), is not required to provide the information required by this Item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, which includes our CEO and our CFO, have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-14(c) promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of a date (the “Evaluation Date”) as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud.  A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met.  Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.  Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.  These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.  The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, our CEO and our CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the information relating to our company, required to be disclosed in our Securities and Exchange Commission reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our CFO, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure as a result of material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
