NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - LIQUIDITY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. At October 31, 2011, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $5,207,045 and working capital of $14,643,617, which consisted of current assets of $41,602,657 and current liabilities of $26,959,040. For the six months ended October 31, 2011, the Company provided or generated operating cash flow of approximately $2.9 million compared to using $1.4 million of operating cash flow for the six months ended October 31, 2010. The Company expects to meet its cash requirements through a combination of existing cash and working capital balances, internally generated cash from operations, expense management and future operating income and existing or future credit facilities. In addition, the Company is extending certain vendor payments to longer payment terms, which the Company expects to continue over the next twelve months.

To date, the Company has paid down the outstanding borrowings under the Loan Agreement with Bank of America, N.A. (BOA) to $2,365,158.  However, the Company is currently in default for its failure to repay the outstanding line of credit in full, on or before November 30, 2011. In addition, the Company did not make a forbearance payment to BOA of $75,000, which was due on November 30, 2011.  As a result of these defaults, BOA is entitled to exercise its rights and remedies pursuant to the Loan Agreement. BOA has not demanded payment on the amounts outstanding.  The Company is currently negotiating and expects to complete the terms of another forbearance amendment with BOA. While the Company and BOA have commenced discussions concerning the Loan Agreement and the events of default, there can be no assurance that the Company and BOA will come to any agreement regarding repayment, future forbearance terms, waiver and/or modification of the Loan Agreement and/or the default of the financial covenants.

The Company is seeking alternative debt financing and has conducted discussions with other senior lenders to replace the Loan Agreement. The Company may not be successful in obtaining alternative debt financing or additional financing sources may not be available on acceptable terms.  If the Loan Agreement is called and the Company is unable to obtain alternative debt financing, the Company would need to use its existing cash and cash equivalents, which may not be sufficient to satisfy its current obligations as they become due.

As described in Note 4, “Debt”, during fiscal 2011 the Company was in default of the financial covenants under the Loan Agreement with BOA due to the operating losses incurred during the previous fiscal year.  In the first quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company obtained a waiver for this non-compliance from BOA. On December 22, 2010, the Company executed the terms of a forbearance agreement with BOA (the Forbearance Agreement).  On March 28, 2011 but effective February 28, 2011, the Company entered into a first amendment (the Forbearance Amendment) of the Forbearance Agreement.

As further described in Note 9, “Discontinued Operations”, on September 1, 2011, the Company completed the sale of WPCS International-St. Louis, Inc. (St. Louis Operations) and WPCS International-Sarasota, Inc. (Sarasota Operations) to Multiband Corporation (Multiband) for $2,000,000 in cash.  The $2,000,000 in cash proceeds paid to BOA reduced the outstanding borrowings under the Loan Agreement to $3,560,977 as of September 13, 2011.

On September 27, 2011, the Company entered into a second amendment to the Forbearance Agreement (the Second Forbearance Amendment). Under the terms of the Second Forbearance Amendment, BOA agreed not to exercise its rights or remedies against the Company as a result of these events of default until the earlier of (a) November 30, 2011 or (b) an event of termination under the Forbearance Agreement. During the term of the Second Forbearance Amendment, the available funds pursuant to the Loan Agreement were limited to the lesser of (a) (i) from September 27, 2011 through and including October 20, 2011, $3,800,000, (ii) from October 21, 2011 through and including November 29, 2011, $3,500,000, and (iii) on November 30, 2011 and all times thereafter, $0, or (b) the aggregate sum of (i) through and including October 1, 2011, 70%, and then on and after October 2, 2011, 60%, of eligible accounts receivable (as defined in the Forbearance Agreement) which are not more than 90 days past original invoice date, plus (ii) 30% percent of eligible inventory (as defined in the Forbearance Agreement), provided that, at no time shall advances against eligible inventory exceed $500,000. On October 21, 2011, the Company paid $60,977 to reduce the borrowings outstanding under the Loan Agreement to $3,500,000. The per annum interest rate was amended to be the Prime Rate plus (a) 200 basis points through and including September 30, 2011, (b) 300 basis points from October 1, 2011 through and including October 31, 2011, (c) 400 basis points from November 1, 2011 through and including November 30, 2011, or (d) 500 basis points, or such higher rate as permitted by the Loan Agreement, from December 1, 2011 until the outstanding loan is repaid. As of the date of this filing, BOA has not assessed the higher rate.

On November 29, 2011, as part of the terms of the Second Forbearance Amendment, the Company agreed to sign over a tax refund from the Internal Revenue Service of $1,134,842 to BOA which was applied against the outstanding loan amount.  This payment reduced the outstanding borrowings under the Loan Agreement to $2,365,158.

Finally, as described in Note 6, “Shareholders’ Equity”, the Company has filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3.   Sales of the Company’s common stock may be offered in amounts and at prices and terms that the Company would determine at the time of the offering. The issuance of additional stock is considered to be another alternative to generate additional funds for corporate purposes.  The Company may not be successful in issuing additional common stock on acceptable terms or at all.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
A summary of significant accounting policies consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements follows:

Principles of Consolidation

All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in these condensed consolidated financial statements.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include all cash and highly-liquid investments with a maturity at time of purchase of three months or less.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s material financial instruments at October 31, 2011 and for which disclosure of estimated fair value is required by certain accounting standards consisted of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, account payable, line of credit and loans payable. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and account payable are equal to their carrying value because of their liquidity and short-term maturity. Management believes that the fair values of the line of credit and loans payable do not differ materially from their aggregate carrying values in that substantially all the obligations bear variable interest rates that are based on market rates or interest rates that are periodically adjustable to rates that are based on market rates.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the amount by which the purchase prices of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries were in excess of the fair value of identifiable net assets as of date of acquisition.  Other intangible assets have finite useful lives and are comprised of customer lists and backlog.

Goodwill is tested at least annually for impairment, and otherwise on an interim basis should events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value.  Determination of impairment requires the Company to compare the fair value of the business acquired (reporting unit) to its carrying value, including goodwill, of such business (reporting unit). If the fair value exceeds the carrying value, no impairment loss is recognized. However, if the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the goodwill of the unit may be impaired. The amount, if any, of the impairment is then measured in the second step, based on the excess, if any, of the reporting unit’s carrying value of goodwill over its implied value.

The Company determines the fair value of the reporting units for purposes of this test primarily by using a discounted cash flow valuation technique. Significant estimates used in the valuation include estimates of future cash flows, both future short-term and long-term growth rates, and estimated cost of capital for purposes of arriving at a discount factor. The Company performs its annual impairment test at April 30 absent any interim impairment indicators. Significant adverse changes in general economic conditions could impact the Company's valuation of its reporting units.
 
The Company reviews its other intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  In performing a review for impairment, the Company compares the carrying value of the assets with their estimated future undiscounted cash flows from the use of the asset and eventual disposition. If the estimated undiscounted future cash flows are less than carrying value, an impairment loss is charged to operations based on the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the asset.

The Company recorded an estimated non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $26.6 million, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 ended April 30, 2011.   The Company completed the second step of the goodwill impairment test in the second fiscal quarter of fiscal 2012, which included calculating an implied fair value of the goodwill of the reporting units, by allocating the fair values of substantially all of its individual assets, liabilities and identified intangible assets, as if the reporting units had been acquired in a business combination. The completion of this second step did not result in an adjustment to the goodwill impairment charge previously recorded in fiscal 2011.

Revenue Recognition

The Company generates its revenue by providing design-build engineering services for communications infrastructure. The Company’s design-build services report revenue pursuant to customer contracts that span varying periods of time. The Company reports revenue from contracts when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, fees are fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured.

The Company records revenue and profit from long-term contracts on a percentage-of-completion basis, measured by the percentage of contract costs incurred to date to the estimated total costs for each contract.  Contracts in process are valued at cost plus accrued profits less earned revenues and progress payments on uncompleted contracts. Contract costs include direct materials, direct labor, third party subcontractor services and those indirect costs related to contract performance. Contracts are generally considered substantially complete when engineering is completed and/or site construction is completed.

The Company has numerous contracts that are in various stages of completion. Such contracts require estimates to determine the appropriate cost and revenue recognition. Cost estimates are reviewed monthly on a contract-by-contract basis, and are revised periodically throughout the life of the contract such that adjustments to profit resulting from revisions are made cumulative to the date of the revision. Significant management judgments and estimates, including the estimated cost to complete projects, which determines the project’s percent complete, must be made and used in connection with the revenue recognized in the accounting period.  Current estimates may be revised as additional information becomes available. If estimates of costs to complete long-term contracts indicate a loss, provision is made currently for the total loss anticipated.

The length of the Company’s contracts varies. Assets and liabilities related to long-term contracts are included in current assets and current liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as they will be liquidated in the normal course of contract completion, although this may require more than one year.

The Company also recognizes certain revenue from short-term contracts when equipment is delivered or the services have been provided to the customer.  For maintenance contracts, revenue is recognized ratably over the service period.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the asset and liability method which requires deferred income tax assets and liabilities to be computed annually for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.  Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The recognition of deferred tax assets is reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that the tax benefits will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets depends upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible.  Income tax expense or benefit is the tax payable or receivable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

The Company performed a review for uncertainty in income tax positions in accordance with authoritative guidance.  This review did not result in the recognition of any material unrecognized tax benefits. Management continually evaluates expiring statutes of limitations, audits, proposed settlements, changes in tax law and new authoritative rulings. The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in selling, general and administrative expenses. For the six months ended October 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recognized no interest or penalties.  The Company's U.S. Federal, state and foreign income tax returns prior to fiscal year 2007 are closed and management continually evaluates expiring statutes of limitations, audits, proposed settlements, changes in tax law and new authoritative rulings.

Loss Per Common Share

Basic net loss per common share is computed as net loss divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  The table below presents the computation of basic and diluted net loss per common share for the three and six months ended October 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively:

Use of Estimates

In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates relate to the calculation of percentage-of-completion on uncompleted contracts, allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of inventory, realization of deferred tax assets, amortization method and lives of customer lists, acquisition-related contingency consideration and estimates of the fair value of reporting units and discounted cash flows used in determining whether goodwill has been impaired. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

No recently issued accounting pronouncement issued or effective after the end of the fiscal year is expected to have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
 
NOTE 3 - COSTS AND ESTIMATED EARNINGS ON UNCOMPLETED CONTRACTS

The asset, “Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts”, represents revenue recognized in excess of amounts billed. The liability, “Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts”, represents billings in excess of revenue recognized. Although management believes it has established adequate procedures for estimating costs to complete open contracts, additional costs could occur on contracts prior to completion. Costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts consist of the following at October 31, 2011 and April 30, 2011:

   
October 31, 2011
   
April 30, 2011
 
Costs incurred on uncompleted contracts
  $ 71,519,673     $ 74,468,342  
Estimated contract profit
    11,332,078       14,355,700  
 
    82,851,751       88,824,042  
Less: billings to date
    82,169,390       86,194,147  
                           Net excess of costs
  $ 682,361     $ 2,629,895  
                 
Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings
  on uncompleted contracts
  $ 3,292,698     $ 4,669,012  
Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings
               
  on uncompleted contracts
    (2,610,337 )     (2,039,117 )
                           Net excess of costs
  $ 682,361     $ 2,629,895  

Revisions in the estimated gross profits on contracts and contract amounts are made in the period in which circumstances requiring the revisions become known. During the three and six months ended October 31, 2011, the effect of such revisions in estimated contract profits resulted in a decrease to gross profits of approximately $1,368,000 and $542,000, respectively, from that which would have been reported had the revised estimates been used as the basis of recognition for contract profits in prior years. Although management believes it has established adequate procedures for estimating costs to complete open contracts, it is at least reasonably possible that additional costs could occur on contracts prior to completion.

NOTE 4 - DEBT

Lines of Credit

On April 10, 2010, the Company renewed the loan agreement (Loan Agreement) with BOA for three years under terms similar to the prior Loan Agreement, including the same customary covenants. The Loan Agreement provides for a revolving line of credit in an amount not to exceed $15,000,000, together with a letter of credit facility not to exceed $2,000,000. The Company and its subsidiaries also entered into security agreements with BOA, pursuant to which the Company granted a security interest to BOA in all of its domestic assets and 65% of the capital stock of the Australian Operations. The Loan Agreement contains customary covenants, including but not limited to (i) funded debt to tangible net worth and (ii) minimum interest coverage ratio. At October 31, 2011, outstanding borrowings were $3,500,000 under the Loan Agreement.
 
To date, the Company has paid down the outstanding borrowings under the Loan Agreement with BOA to $2,365,158.  However, the Company is currently in default for its failure to repay the outstanding line of credit in full, on or before November 30, 2011.  In addition, the Company did not make a forbearance payment to BOA of $75,000, which was due on November 30, 2011.  As a result of these defaults, BOA is entitled to exercise its rights and remedies pursuant to the Loan Agreement. BOA has not demanded payment on the amounts outstanding.  The Company is currently negotiating and expects to complete the terms of another forbearance amendment with BOA. While the Company and BOA have commenced discussions concerning the Loan Agreement and the events of default, there can be no assurance that the Company and BOA will come to any agreement regarding repayment, future forbearance terms, waiver and/or modification of the Loan Agreement and/or the default of the financial covenants.
 
The Company is seeking alternative debt financing and has conducted discussions with other senior lenders to replace the Loan Agreement. The Company may not be successful in obtaining alternative debt financing or additional financing sources may not be available on acceptable terms.  If the Loan Agreement is called and the Company is unable to obtain alternative debt financing, the Company would need to use its existing cash and cash equivalents, which may not be sufficient to satisfy its current obligations as they become due.

During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2011, the Company was in default of the financial covenants under the Loan Agreement due to the operating losses incurred during the previous fiscal year.  In the first quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company obtained a waiver for this non-compliance from BOA.  However, as a result of the non-compliance with the financial covenants at the completion of our second fiscal quarter of 2011, on December 22, 2010 the Company executed the terms of a Forbearance Agreement with BOA.  On March 28, 2011 but effective February 28, 2011, the Company entered into a first amendment of the forbearance agreement.  Under the terms of the Forbearance Amendment, BOA agreed not to exercise its rights or remedies against the Company as a result of these events of default until the earlier of (a) September 30, 2011 or (b) an event of termination under the Forbearance Agreement.

On June 28, 2011, the Company received a letter dated June 27, 2011 (the “Notice”) from counsel to BOA pursuant to which BOA alleged that certain events of default considered to be events of termination under the Forbearance Agreement have occurred under the Loan Agreement (including the Forbearance Agreement), including failures to (i) provide a compliance certificate pursuant to section 8.2(f) of the Loan Agreement, (ii) maintain EBITDA on a quarterly basis of not less than $425,000 for the quarter ending April 30, 2011 pursuant to section 8.3 of the Loan Agreement, (iii) maintain, on a consolidated basis, a Funded Debt to Tangible Net Worth Ratio of not more than 1.00 to 1.00 as of April 30, 2011 pursuant to section 8.4 of the Loan Agreement, (iv) maintain, on a consolidated basis, an Interest Coverage Ratio, on a quarterly (and not a rolling four-quarter) basis, of at least 3.00 to 1.00 for the quarter ending April 30, 2011 pursuant to section 8.5 of the Loan Agreement, (v) maintain, on a consolidated basis, a Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio on a quarterly basis of not more than 21.00 to 1.00 for the quarter ending April 30, 2011 pursuant to section 8.25 of the Loan Agreement, and (vi) maintain, on a consolidated basis, a Basic Fixed Charge Ratio of not less than 1.20 to 1.00 as of the April 30, 2011 quarter end pursuant to section 2(d)(iii) of the  Forbearance Amendment.

As further described in Note 9, “Discontinued Operations”, on September 1, 2011, the Company completed the sale of its St. Louis and Sarasota operations centers to Multiband for $2,000,000 in cash.  The $2,000,000 in cash proceeds paid to BOA reduced the outstanding borrowings under the Loan Agreement to $3,560,977 as of September 13, 2011.

On September 27, 2011, the Company entered into a second amendment to the Forbearance Agreement (the Second Forbearance Amendment). Under the terms of the Second Forbearance Amendment, BOA agreed not to exercise its rights or remedies against the Company as a result of these events of default until the earlier of (a) November 30, 2011 or (b) an event of termination under the Forbearance Agreement.  During the term of the Second Forbearance Amendment, the available funds pursuant to the Loan Agreement were limited to the lesser of (a) (i) from September 27, 2011 through and including October 20, 2011, $3,800,000, (ii) from October 21, 2011 through and including November 29, 2011, $3,500,000, and (iii) on November 30, 2011 and all times thereafter, $0, or (b) the aggregate sum of (i) through and including October 1, 2011, 70%, and then on and after October 2, 2011, 60%, of eligible accounts receivable (as defined in the Forbearance Agreement) which are not more than 90 days past original invoice date, plus (ii) 30% percent of eligible inventory (as defined in the Forbearance Agreement), provided that, at no time shall advances against eligible inventory exceed $500,000. On October 21, 2011, the Company paid $60,977 to reduce the borrowings outstanding under the Loan Agreement to $3,500,000. The per annum interest rate was amended to be the Prime Rate plus (a) 200 basis points through and including September 30, 2011, (b) 300 basis points from October 1, 2011 through and including October 31, 2011, (c) 400 basis points from November 1, 2011 through and including November 30, 2011, or (d) 500 basis points, or such higher rate as permitted by the Loan Agreement, from December 1, 2011 until the outstanding loan is repaid. As of the date of this filing, BOA has not assessed the higher rate.

On November 29, 2011, as part of the terms of the Second Forbearance Amendment, the Company agreed to sign over a tax refund from the Internal Revenue Service of $1,134,842 to BOA, which was applied against the outstanding loan amount.  This payment reduced the outstanding borrowings under the Loan Agreement to $2,365,158.
 
Due to the short-term nature of the outstanding balance, the line of credit borrowings under the Loan Agreement are classified as a current liability.

NOTE 6 - SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Stock-Based Compensation Plans

In September 2006, the Company adopted the 2007 Incentive Stock Plan, under which officers, directors, key employees or consultants may be granted options.  Under the 2007 Incentive Stock Plan, 400,000 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance upon the exercise of stock options, stock awards or restricted stock.  These shares were registered under Form S-8. At October 31, 2011, options to purchase 189,500 shares were outstanding at exercise prices ranging from $2.37 to $6.33. At October 31, 2011, there were 198,000 options available for grant under the 2007 Incentive Stock Plan.

In September 2005, the Company adopted the 2006 Incentive Stock Plan, under which officers, directors, key employees or consultants may be granted options.  Under the 2006 Incentive Stock Plan, 400,000 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance upon the exercise of stock options, stock awards or restricted stock.  These shares were registered under Form S-8. Under the terms of the 2006 Incentive Stock Plan, stock options are granted at exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the common stock at the date of grant, and become exercisable and expire in accordance with the terms of the stock option agreement between the optionee and the Company at the date of grant.  These options generally vest based on between one to three years of continuous service and have five-year contractual terms. At October 31, 2011, options to purchase 6,200 shares were outstanding at exercise prices ranging from $6.33 to $12.10. At October 31, 2011, there were 322,224 options available for grant under the 2006 Incentive Stock Plan.

In March 2003, the Company established a stock option plan pursuant to which options to acquire a maximum of 416,667 shares of the Company's common stock were reserved for grant (the "2002 Plan"). These shares were registered under Form S-8. Under the terms of the 2002 Plan, the options are exercisable at prices equal to the fair market value of the stock at the date of the grant and become exercisable in accordance with terms established at the time of the grant. These options generally vest based on between one to three years of continuous service and have five-year contractual terms. At October 31, 2011, options to purchase 51,236 shares were outstanding at exercise prices ranging from $2.37 to $10.25.  At October 31, 2011, there were 222,914 shares available for grant under the 2002 Plan.

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. Compensation cost is then recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting or service period and is net of estimated forfeitures.  There were no stock options granted during the six months ended October 31, 2011. There were 83,000 stock options granted during the six months ended October 31, 2010.

The Company recorded stock-based compensation of $44,320 and $52,782 for the six months ended October 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. At October 31, 2011, the total compensation cost related to unvested stock options granted to employees under the Company’s stock option plans but not yet recognized was $58,250 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 10 months.

The Company has elected to adopt the shortcut method for determining the initial pool of excess tax benefits available to absorb tax deficiencies related to stock-based compensation. The shortcut method includes simplified procedures for establishing the beginning balance of the pool of excess tax benefits (the APIC Tax Pool) and for determining the subsequent effect on the APIC Tax Pool and the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows of the tax effects of share-based compensation awards. Excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation are reflected as financing cash inflows.

Stockholder Rights Plan

On February 24, 2010, the Company adopted a stockholder rights plan. The stockholder rights plan is embodied in the Rights Agreement dated as of February 24, 2010 (the Rights Agreement) between the Company and Interwest Transfer Co., Inc., the Rights Agent.  In connection with the Rights Agreement, the Company declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right (a Right) for each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock to stockholders of record at the close of business on March 8, 2010.  Each Right entitles the registered holder, subject to the terms of the Rights Agreement, to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth (1/1000th) of a share of Series D Junior Participating Preferred Stock, $0.0001 par value (the Preferred Stock) at a purchase price of $15.00, subject to adjustment.  The Rights will expire at the close of business on February 24, 2020, unless earlier redeemed or exchanged by the Company.  Until a Right is exercised, the holder thereof, as such, will have no rights as a stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to vote or to receive dividends.

The Rights are not immediately exercisable.  The Rights will initially trade only with the shares of the Company’s common stock to which they are attached, and generally become exercisable only if a person or group becomes an Acquiring Person (as defined in the Rights Agreement) by accumulating beneficial ownership (as defined in the Rights Agreement) of 15% or more of the Company’s outstanding common stock.  If a person becomes an Acquiring Person, the holders of each Right (other than an Acquiring Person) are entitled to purchase shares of the Company’s preferred stock or, in some circumstances, shares of the Acquiring Person’s common stock, having a value equal to twice the exercise price of the Right, which is initially $15.00 per Right.  The Rights Agreement provides that a person or group currently owning 15% or more of the Company’s outstanding common stock will not be deemed to be an Acquiring Person if the person or group does not subsequently accumulate an additional 1% of the Company’s outstanding common stock through open market purchases, expansion of the group or other means.

At any time prior to a person becoming an Acquiring Person, the Board of Directors of the Company may redeem the Rights in whole, but not in part, at a price of $.0001 per Right.  The Rights Agreement requires a committee of independent directors to review and evaluate every five years whether the Rights Agreement remains in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders.

Shelf Registration Statement

On April 15, 2010, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-3 using a “shelf” registration process.  Under this shelf registration process, the Company may offer up to 2,314,088 shares of its common stock, from time to time, in amounts, at prices, and terms that will be determined at the time of the offering.  Each share of the Company’s common stock automatically includes one right to purchase one one-thousandth of a share of Series D Junior Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, which becomes exercisable pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Rights Plan Agreement as described above.  The net proceeds from securities sold by the Company will be added to our general corporate funds and may be used for general corporate purposes.  As of October 31, 2011, no shares of the Company’s common stock have been issued under this shelf registration statement.

NOTE 8 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

As defined by the Accounting Standard Codification (ASC), fair value measurements and disclosures establish a hierarchy that prioritizes fair value measurements based on the type of inputs used for the various valuation techniques (market approach, income approach and cost approach).  The levels of hierarchy are described below:

·  
Level 1:  Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 
·  
Level 2:  Inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; these include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly-quoted intervals.
 
·  
Level 3:  Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity.
 
The following table sets forth the assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, by input level, in the consolidated balance sheet at October 31, 2011:

The Level 3 measurements included an estimated discount rate of 18.02%, future revenue growth rate of 10%, earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) margins ranging from 7.5% to 13.32%, and weighted probability of EBIT achievement ranging from 0% to 100%.
 
NOTE 9 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Effective September 1, 2011, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement and Amendment No. 1 to the Escrow Agreement (the Agreements) with Multiband, traded under the NASDAQ symbol MBND, for the acquisition by Multiband of the common stock of the Company’s subsidiaries comprising the St. Louis and Sarasota Operations for $2,000,000 in cash.  The $2,000,000 in proceeds was paid to BOA to reduce the outstanding borrowings under the Loan Agreement.

Business Overview and Recent Developments

We are a global provider of design-build engineering services for communications infrastructure, with over 450 employees in six (6) operation centers on three continents, following the sale of our St. Louis and Sarasota Operations on September 1, 20ll.  We sold these two operation centers to Multiband Corporation (“Multiband”) for $2,000,000 in cash and used the proceeds to reduce the amount outstanding under our loan agreement.   Accordingly, all operating results disclosed in this quarterly report only include the results from continuing operations, and exclude the results for the St. Louis and Sarasota Operations, which are presented as discontinued operations.  The St. Louis and Sarasota Operations were previously reported in the specialty construction and wireless communication segments, respectively.

We provide our engineering capabilities including wireless communication, specialty construction and electrical power to a diversified customer base in the public services, healthcare, energy and corporate enterprise markets worldwide.

 Wireless Communication

Throughout the community or around the world, in remote and urban locations, wireless networks provide the connections that keep information flowing. The design and deployment of a wireless network solution requires an in-depth knowledge of radio frequency engineering so that wireless networks are free from interference with other signals and amplified sufficiently to carry data, voice or video with speed and accuracy. We have extensive experience and methodologies that are well suited to address these challenges for our customers. We are capable of designing wireless networks and providing the technology integration necessary to meet goals for enhanced communication, increased productivity and reduced costs. We have the engineering expertise to utilize all facets of wireless technology or combination of various technologies to develop a cost effective network for a customer's wireless communication requirements. This includes Wi-Fi networks, point-to-point systems, mesh networks, microwave systems, cellular networks, in-building systems and two-way communication systems.

Specialty Construction

With the development of communities and industry, pipeline services are an integral part of the infrastructure process. We have expertise in the construction and maintenance of pipelines for natural gas and petroleum transmission. This includes experience in transmission infrastructure, horizontal directional drilling and rock trenching. In addition, we offer trenching services for power lines, telecommunications and water lines. Our services are performed with minimal ground disruption and environmental impact.

Electrical Power

Electrical power transmission and distribution networks built years ago often cannot fulfill the growing technological needs of today's end users. We provide complete electrical contracting services to help commercial and industrial facilities of all types and sizes to upgrade their power systems. Our capabilities include power transmission, switchgear, underground utilities, outside plant, instrumentation and controls. We provide an integrated approach to project coordination that creates cost-effective solutions. In addition, corporations, government entities, healthcare organizations and educational institutions depend on the reliability and accuracy of voice, data and video communications. However, the potential for this new technology cannot be realized without the right electrical infrastructure to support the convergence of technology. In this regard, we create integrated building systems, including the installation of advanced structured cabling systems and electrical networks. We support the integration of renewable energy, telecommunications, life safety, security and HVAC in an environmentally safe manner and design for future growth by building in additional capacity for expansion as new capabilities are added.

For the six months ended October 31, 2011, wireless communication, specialty construction and electrical power represented approximately 22.0%, 7.2% and 70.8%, respectively, of our total revenue from continuing operations. For the six months ended October 31, 2010, wireless communication, specialty construction and electrical power represented approximately 26.0%, 3.5% and 70.5%, respectively, of our total revenue from continuing operations.
 
Industry Trends

We focus on markets such as public services, healthcare, energy and international which continue to show growth potential.
 
 
·  
Public services.  We provide communications infrastructure for public services which include police, fire, emergency dispatch, utilities, education, military and transportation infrastructure. We believe there is an active market for communications infrastructure in the public service sector due to the high demand for public safety which includes video surveillance for crime deterrence, police communication, traffic monitoring and waste water treatment.  .

 
·  
Healthcare.  We provide communications infrastructure for hospitals and medical centers. In the healthcare market, the aging population is resulting in demands for upgraded and additional hospital infrastructure. New construction and renovations are occurring for hospitals domestically and internationally. In addition, there is a need to reduce the cost of delivering healthcare by implementing new communications technology.  Our services include electrical power, structured cabling, security systems, life safety systems, environmental controls and communication systems.

 
·  
Energy.  We provide communications infrastructure for petrochemical, natural gas and electric utility companies as well as renewable energy systems for various entities. The need to deliver basic energy more efficiently and to create new energy sources is driving the growth in energy construction. This creates opportunities to upgrade and deploy new communications technology and design and build renewable energy solutions.

 
·  
International.  We provide communications infrastructure internationally for a variety of companies and government entities. China is spending on building its internal infrastructure and Australia is upgrading their infrastructure.  Both China and Australia have experienced positive GDP growth rates. Our international revenue continues to grow, representing approximately 20% of consolidated revenue for the six months ended October 31, 2011, compared to 18% of consolidated revenue for the six months ended October 31, 2010.

Current Operating Trends and Financial Highlights

Management currently considers the following events, trends and uncertainties to be important in understanding our results of operations and financial condition during the current fiscal year:

· In regards to our financial results in the second quarter and year-to-date for fiscal 2012, we continue to make progress in turning around our financial performance as compared to the prior fiscal year.  For the second quarter ended October 31, 2011, we generated EBITDA of approximately $371,000, compared to an EBITDA loss of approximately $1,270,000 for the three months ended October 31, 2010.   For the six months ended October 31, 2011, we generated EBITDA of approximately $1,453,000, compared to an EBITDA loss of approximately $1,613,000 for the same period in the prior year.  EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, income taxes, loss from discontinued operations, acquisition-related contingent earn-out costs, goodwill impairment, one-time charges related to exploring strategic alternatives and depreciation and amortization.  Management uses EBITDA to assess the ongoing operating and financial performance of our Company. This financial measure is not in accordance with GAAP and may differ from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
 OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 
For the second quarter ended October 31, 2011, we reported a net loss of approximately $1.7 million, which includes a loss from discontinued operations of approximately $908,000 from the divestiture of St. Louis and Sarasota, and $77,000 of one-time costs associated with our on-going strategic alternatives effort to explore the possible sale of our company. This compares to a net loss of approximately $5,963,000 for the three months ended October 31, 2010 which included $4.3 million in non-cash goodwill impairment charges.  For the six months ended October 31, 2011, we reported a net loss of approximately $1.7 million, which includes a loss from discontinued operations of approximately $1.3 million from the divestiture of St. Louis and Sarasota, and $141,000 of one-time costs associated with our on-going strategic alternatives effort to explore the possible sale of our company. This compares to a net loss of approximately $6,339,000 for the six months ended October 31, 2010 which included $4.3 million in non-cash goodwill impairment charges.
 
Management believes that the operating results for the six months ended October 31, 2011, as measured by the EBITDA of approximately $1.5 million, represents a significant improvement compared to an EBITDA loss of $1.6 million for the preceding six months ended October 31, 2010.  During fiscal 2011 and continuing into fiscal 2012, we have implemented management changes and cost reduction strategies to improve our future operations and reduce future operating expenses.  Although the economy has not yet fully recovered and will continue to present challenges for our business, we expect to generate continued EBITDA during fiscal year 2012 compared to generating EBITDA losses in fiscal 2011. The markets we serve in public services, healthcare, and energy continue to afford opportunities to grow our business.
 
Two of our most important economic indicators for measuring our future revenue producing capability and demand for our services continue to be our backlog and bid list.  For comparative purposes our backlog and bid list for prior periods only includes our continuing operations.  Our backlog of unfilled orders from continuing operations was approximately $30.2 million at October 31, 2011, compared to backlog of $39.6 million at July 31, 2011 and backlog of $34.3 million at October 31, 2010.  Although our backlog decreased sequentially, the primary reason for this decrease is the increase in earned revenue sequentially from completed projects.
 
Our bid list, which represents project bids under proposal for new and existing customers, was approximately $163 million at October 31, 2011, compared to approximately $127 million at July 31, 2011. We believe our bid list at October 31, 2011, represents a normal bid level and we expect our bid list to remain in a range of $125 million to $175 million.
 
· We believe our design-build engineering focus for public services, healthcare, energy and corporate enterprise infrastructure will create additional opportunities both domestically and internationally. We believe that the ability to provide comprehensive communications infrastructure services including wireless communication, specialty construction and electrical power gives us a competitive advantage. We expect an increase in backlog in the future as a result of the current level of bid activity for communication infrastructure services.
 
· We continue to focus on expanding our international presence in China and Australia, and we believe that these markets are experiencing a favorable economic environment. In China, our focus is primarily in the specialty construction market, and in Australia it is primarily in the electrical power market. Our current international revenue annual run rate is approximately $24 million and over 20% of our total revenue.
 
· In regards to strategic development, our focus is on organic growth opportunities and we feel optimistic about the markets we serve and the potential for delivering shareholder value. On September 1, 2011, WPCS sold two operation centers to Multiband for $2 million in cash. In addition, WPCS extended a deadline to February 1, 2012 for Multiband to put forth a definitive merger agreement with a financing commitment for their proposed acquisition of WPCS at $3.20 per share. If Multiband puts forth a definitive agreement to acquire WPCS, along with a financing commitment, our directors will confer and announce their recommendation to our shareholders. The proposal from Multiband is part of the strategic alternatives effort that has been underway since September 2010.

Revenue

Revenue for the three months ended October 31, 2011 was approximately $28,161,000, as compared to approximately $23,200,000 for the three months ended October 31, 2010.  The increase in revenue for the period was attributable to organic revenue growth of approximately 21%.  For the three months ended October 31, 2011, we had one customer which comprised 12.4% of total revenue.  For the three months ended October 31, 2010, there were no customers which comprised more than 10% of total revenue.

Wireless communication segment revenue for the three months ended October 31, 2011 and 2010 was approximately $6,406,000 or 22.8% and $6,696,000 or 28.9% of total revenue, respectively. The slight decrease in revenue was due primarily to project delays on existing contracts and delays or postponements of new project bid awards from prior quarters at the state and local government level for public services projects, the revenue of which is expected to be recognized in future periods.
 
Specialty construction segment revenue for the three months ended October 31, 2011 and 2010 was approximately $2,444,000 or 8.7% and $542,000 or 2.3% of total revenue, respectively. The increase in revenue was attributable to organic revenue growth in this segment from project work performed by the China Operations.

Electrical power segment revenue for the three months ended October 31, 2011 and 2010 was approximately $19,311,000 or 68.5% and $15,962,000 or 68.8% of total revenue, respectively.  The increase in revenue was due primarily to organic revenue growth from the Trenton Operations.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue consists of direct costs on contracts, materials, direct labor, third party subcontractor services, union benefits and other overhead costs.  Our cost of revenue was approximately $23,069,000 or 81.9% of revenue for the three months ended October 31, 2011, compared to $19,321,000 or 83.3% for the same period of the prior year.  The dollar increase in our total cost of revenue is primarily due to the corresponding increase in revenue during the three months ended October 31, 2011.  The decrease as a percentage of revenue is primarily due to the revenue blend of project work completed during the quarter, and cost overruns that occurred in fiscal 2011 on certain projects that did not occur in fiscal 2012. This percentage decrease was offset by a cost overrun on a large project during the three months ended October 31, 2011. However, the project is near completion and all costs have been recognized.

Wireless communication segment cost of revenue and cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue for the three months ended October 31, 2011 and 2010 was approximately $4,690,000 and 73.2% and $4,810,000 and 71.8%, respectively.  The dollar decrease in our cost of revenue is due primarily to the corresponding decrease in revenue during the three months ended October 31, 2011.  Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue increased due to the revenue blend of the project work performed during the three months ended October 31, 2011.

Specialty construction segment cost of revenue and cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue for the three months ended October 31, 2011 and 2010 was approximately $1,867,000 and 76.4% and $437,000 and 80.6%, respectively.  The dollar increase in our cost of revenue is due to the corresponding increase in revenue for the three months ended October 31, 2011.  The decrease as a percentage of revenue is due to the revenue blend of project work performed.

Electrical power segment cost of revenue and cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue for the three months ended October 31, 2011 and 2010 was approximately $16,512,000 and 85.5% and $14,074,000 and 88.2%, respectively.  The dollar increase in our cost of revenue is due to the corresponding increase in revenue for the three months ended October 31, 2011.  The decrease as a percentage of revenue is due to the revenue blend of project work performed, and cost overruns that occurred in fiscal 2011 on certain projects that did not occur in fiscal 2012. This percentage decrease was offset by a cost overrun on a large project during the three months ended October 31, 2011. However, the project is near completion and all costs have been recognized.
 
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

For the three months ended October 31, 2011, total selling, general and administrative expenses were approximately $4,798,000 or 17.0% of total revenue compared to $5,425,000, or 23.4% of revenue for the same period of the prior year. Included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended October 31, 2011 is $2,721,000 for salaries, commissions, payroll taxes and other employee benefits. The decrease of $279,000 in salaries and commissions compared to the prior period is due to lower salaries from cost reduction strategies as well as lower commissions and bonuses.  Professional fees were $376,000, which include accounting, legal and investor relation fees, and approximately $77,000 of incremental third party legal expenses in connection with on-going strategic alternatives.  The decrease of $334,000 in professional fees compared to the prior year is due primarily to lower strategic alternative costs and other reduced lower professional service fees for other services compared to the same period in the prior year. Insurance costs were $483,000 and rent for office facilities was $206,000.  Automobile and other travel expenses were $423,000 and telecommunication expenses were $110,000. Other selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $479,000. For the three months ended October 31, 2011, total selling, general and administrative expenses for the wireless communication, specialty construction and electrical power segments were approximately $1,449,000, $94,000 and $2,464,000, respectively, with the balance of approximately $791,000 pertaining to corporate expenses.

ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
 OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


For the three months ended October 31, 2010, total selling, general and administrative expenses were approximately $5,425,000, or 23.4% of total revenue. Included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended October 31, 2010 is $3,000,000 for salaries, commissions, payroll taxes and other employee benefits. Professional fees were $710,000, which include accounting, legal and investor relation fees, and approximately $276,000 of incremental third party investment banking expenses in connection with pursuing strategic alternatives. Insurance costs were $491,000 and rent for office facilities was $216,000.  Automobile and other travel expenses were $347,000 and telecommunication expenses were $120,000. Other selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $265,000. For the three months ended October 31, 2010, total selling, general and administrative expenses for the wireless communication, specialty construction and electrical power segments were approximately $1,417,000, $139,000 and $2,599,000 respectively, with the balance of approximately $1,270,000 pertaining to corporate expenses.

Depreciation and Amortization

For the three months ended October 31, 2011 and 2010, depreciation was approximately $502,000 and $485,000, respectively.  The net increase in depreciation expense is due to new fixed asset additions, offset by the retirement of older fixed assets. The amortization of customer lists and backlog for the three months ended October 31, 2011 was $58,000 as compared to $159,000 for the same period of the prior year.  The decrease in amortization expense compared to October 31, 2010, was due to the write-off of approximately $869,000 in customer lists during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011, resulting in lower customer list amortization in fiscal 2012. Remaining customer lists are amortized over a period of six to eight years from the date of their acquisitions. Backlog is amortized over a period of one to three years from the date of acquisition based on the expected completion period of the related contracts.

Change in Fair Value of Acquisition-Related Contingent Consideration

For the three months ended October 31, 2011 and 2010, the change in fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration was approximately $41,000 and $74,000, respectively. The change in fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration is due to the non-cash expense recorded for the change in the present value of future payments of acquisition-related contingent consideration related to the Pride acquisition.

Interest Expense and Interest Income

For the three months ended October 31, 2011 and 2010, interest expense was approximately $235,000 and $62,000, respectively. The increase in interest expense is due principally to additional interest accrued of $128,000 for the China Operations compared to October 31, 2010. As of October 31, 2011, there was $3,500,000 of total borrowings outstanding under the line of credit.

           For the three months ended October 31, 2011 and 2010, interest income was approximately $23,000 and $14,000, respectively.   The increase in interest earned is due primarily to the increase in interest earned in our Australia Operations as a result of increased cash balances compared to the same period in the prior year.

Income Taxes

The income tax rate related to the continuing operations for the three months ended October 31, 2011 was -37.44% as compared to the estimated annual effective income tax rate of -19.1%.  The difference is primarily due to the tax effect of discrete items booked such as the effects of state rate adjustments made to the deferred income tax asset accounts during the quarter. The estimated annual effective tax rate of -19.1% differs from the expected federal income tax rate of 34% primarily due to effects of valuation allowances for state income taxes and permanent differences relating to acquisition costs in Australia. For the three months ended October 31, 2010, the actual income tax rate was 11.3% related to continuing operations which differed from the estimated annual effective income tax rate of 31.8% primarily due to the permanent difference of impairment charge of goodwill. The effective estimated annual income tax rate of 31.8% differed from the expected federal income tax rate of 34% due primarily to the effects of valuation allowances for state income taxes offset substantially by the favorable tax effects of permanent differences.
 
Loss From Discontinued Operations
 
 As a result of the sale of the St. Louis and Sarasota Operations to Multiband on September 1, 2011, we recorded the financial results of these operations as discontinued operations, which ceased doing business during the quarter ended October 31, 2011. For the three months ended October 31, 2011, we recorded a loss from discontinued operations of approximately $908,000, compared to a loss of approximately $163,000 for the three months ended October 31, 2010.  The increase in the loss from discontinued operations is due the loss on disposal of these two operation centers on September 1, 2011, of approximately $1,028,000, and includes approximately $299,000 of expenses directly associated with the sale of the St. Louis and Sarasota Operations.
 
Net Loss Attributable to WPCS

The net loss attributable to WPCS was approximately $1,665,000 for the three months ended October 31, 2011, as compared to a net loss attributable to WPCS of approximately $5,963,000 for the three months ended October 31, 2010.

Revenue

Revenue for the six months ended October 31, 2011 was approximately $51,725,000, as compared to approximately $46,466,000 for the six months ended October 31, 2010.  The increase in revenue for the period was attributable to organic revenue growth of approximately 11%.  For the six months ended October 31, 2011, we had one customer which comprised 10.4% of total revenue.  For the six months ended October 31, 2010, there were no customers which comprised more than 10% of total revenue.
 
Wireless communication segment revenue for the six months ended October 31, 2011 and 2010 was approximately $11,367,000 or 22.0% and $12,093,000 or 26.0% of total revenue, respectively. The decrease in revenue was due primarily to project delays on existing contracts and delays or postponements of new project bid awards from prior quarters at the state and local government level for public services projects, the revenue of which is expected to be recognized in future periods.
 
Specialty construction segment revenue for the six months ended October 31, 2011 and 2010 was approximately $3,730,000 or 7.2% and $1,603,000 or 3.5% of total revenue, respectively. The increase in revenue was attributable to organic revenue growth in this segment from project work performed by the China Operations.

Electrical power segment revenue for the six months ended October 31, 2011 and 2010 was approximately $36,628,000 or 70.8% and $32,770,000 or 70.5% of total revenue, respectively.  The increase in revenue was due primarily to organic revenue growth from the Trenton Operations.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue consists of direct costs on contracts, materials, direct labor, third party subcontractor services, union benefits and other overhead costs.  Our cost of revenue was approximately $41,101,000 or 79.5% of revenue for the six months ended October 31, 2011, compared to $37,932,000 or 81.6% for the same period of the prior year.  The dollar increase in our total cost of revenue is primarily due to the corresponding increase in revenue for the six months ended October 31, 2011.  The decrease as a percentage of revenue is primarily due to the revenue blend of project work completed during the period, and cost overruns that occurred in fiscal 2011 on certain projects that did not occur in fiscal 2012. This percentage decrease was offset by a cost overrun on a large project during the second quarter of fiscal year 2012. However, the project is near completion and all costs have been recognized.

Wireless communication segment cost of revenue and cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue for the six months ended October 31, 2011 and 2010 was approximately $8,528,000 and 75.0% and $8,796,000 and 72.7%, respectively.  The dollar decrease in our cost of revenue is due primarily to the corresponding decrease in revenue for the six months ended October 31, 2011.  Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue increased due to the revenue blend of the project work performed during the six months ended October 31, 2011.

Specialty construction segment cost of revenue and cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue for the six months ended October 31, 2011 and 2010 was approximately $2,840,000 and 76.1% and $1,236,000 and 77.1%, respectively.  The dollar increase in our cost of revenue is due to the corresponding increase in revenue for the six months ended October 31, 2011. The decrease as a percentage of revenue is due to the revenue blend of project work performed.

Electrical power segment cost of revenue and cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue for the six months ended October 31, 2011 and 2010 was approximately $29,733,000 and 81.2% and $27,900,000 and 85.1%, respectively. The dollar increase in our cost of revenue is due to the corresponding increase in revenue for the six months ended October 31, 2011.  The decrease as a percentage of revenue is due primarily to the revenue blend of project work performed, cost overruns that occurred in fiscal 2011 on certain projects that did not occur in fiscal 2012 and additional revenue from change orders for costs incurred in prior periods related to a certain client in our Suisun City Operations. This percentage decrease was offset by a cost overrun on a large project during the second quarter of fiscal year 2012. However, the project is near completion and all costs have been recognized.

ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
 OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

For the six months ended October 31, 2011, total selling, general and administrative expenses were approximately $9,310,000 or 18.0% of total revenue compared to $10,423,000, or 22.4% of revenue for the same period of the prior year. Included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended October 31, 2011 is $5,462,000 for salaries, commissions, payroll taxes and other employee benefits. The decrease of $608,000 in salaries and commissions compared to the prior period is due to lower salaries from cost reduction strategies, as well as lower commissions and bonuses.  Professional fees were $790,000, which include accounting, legal and investor relation fees, and approximately $141,000 of incremental third party legal expenses in connection with on-going strategic alternatives.  The decrease of $317,000 in professional fees compared to the prior year is due primarily to lower strategic alternative costs and other reduced lower professional service fees for other services compared to the same period in the prior year. Insurance costs were $875,000 and rent for office facilities was $421,000.  Automobile and other travel expenses were $811,000 and telecommunication expenses were $218,000. Other selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $592,000. For the six months ended October 31, 2011, total selling, general and administrative expenses for the wireless communication, specialty construction and electrical power segments were approximately $2,704,000, $152,000 and $4,863,000, respectively, with the balance of approximately $1,591,000 pertaining to corporate expenses.

For the six months ended October 31, 2010, total selling, general and administrative expenses were approximately $10,423,000, or 22.4% of total revenue. Included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended October 31, 2010 is $6,070,000 for salaries, commissions, payroll taxes and other employee benefits. Professional fees were $1,107,000, which include accounting, legal and investor relation fees, and approximately $276,000 of incremental third party investment banking expenses in connection with pursuing strategic alternatives. Insurance costs were $964,000 and rent for office facilities was $443,000.  Automobile and other travel expenses were $712,000 and telecommunication expenses were $253,000. Other selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $598,000. For the six months ended October 31, 2010, total selling, general and administrative expenses for the wireless communication, specialty construction and electrical power segments were approximately $2,666,000, $205,000 and $5,402,000, respectively, with the balance of approximately $2,150,000 pertaining to corporate expenses.

Depreciation and Amortization

For the six months ended October 31, 2011 and 2010, depreciation was approximately $996,000 and $991,000, respectively.   The net increase in depreciation expense is due to new fixed asset additions, offset by the retirement of older fixed assets.  The amortization of customer lists and backlog for the six months ended October 31, 2011 was $117,000 as compared to $311,000 for the same period of the prior year.  The decrease in amortization expense compared to October 31, 2010, was due to the write-off approximately $869,000 in customer lists during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011, resulting in lower customer list amortization in fiscal 2012. Remaining customer lists are amortized over a period of six to eight years from the date of their acquisitions. Backlog is amortized over a period of one to three years from the date of acquisition based on the expected completion period of the related contracts.

Change in Fair Value of Acquisition-Related Contingent Consideration

For the six months ended October 31, 2011 and 2010, the change in fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration was approximately $84,000 and $137,000, respectively. The change in fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration is due to the non-cash expense recorded for the change in present value of future payments of acquisition-related contingent consideration related to the Pride acquisition.

Interest Expense and Interest Income

For the six months ended October 31, 2011 and 2010, interest expense was approximately $331,000 and $117,000, respectively. The increase in interest expense is due to additional interest accrued of $128,000 for the China Operations compared to October 31, 2010. As of October 31, 2011, there was $3,500,000 of total borrowings outstanding under the line of credit.

ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
 OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


           For the six months ended October 31, 2011 and 2010, interest income was approximately $32,000 and $24,000, respectively.   The net increase in interest earned is due to the increase in interest earned in our Australia Operations as a result of increased cash balances, offset by a decrease in interest rates compared to the same period in the prior year.

Income Taxes

For the six months ended October 31, 2011, the income tax rate related to continuing operations was -71.2% as compared to the estimated annual income tax rate of -19.1%.  The difference is primarily due to the tax effect of discrete items booked such as the effects of state rate adjustments made to deferred income tax asset accounts. The estimated annual income effective tax rate differs from the expected federal income tax rate of 34.0% primarily due to the effects of valuation allowances for state income taxes as well as permanent differences relating to acquisition costs in Australia. For the six months ended October 31, 2010, the actual income tax rate related to continuing operations was 14.1% as compared to an estimated annual effective income tax rate of 31.8% due primarily to permanent differences relating to impairment of goodwill charge. This effective tax rate for the six months differed from the expected federal income tax rate of 34.0% due the effects of valuation allowance for state income taxes offset partially by the favorable income tax effects of permanent differences.
 
Loss From Discontinued Operations
 
 As a result of the sale of the St. Louis and Sarasota Operations to Multiband on September 1, 2011, we recorded the financial results of these operations as discontinued operations, which ceased doing business during the quarter ended October 31, 2011. For the six months ended October 31, 2011, we recorded a loss from discontinued operations of approximately $1,327,000, compared to income of approximately $227,000 for the six months ended October 31, 2010.  The increase in the loss from discontinued operations is due primarily to the loss on disposal of these two operation centers on September 1, 2011, of approximately $1,028,000, and includes approximately $299,000 of expenses directly associated with the sale of the St. Louis and Sarasota Operations.

Net Loss Attributable to WPCS

The net loss attributable to WPCS was approximately $1,700,000 for the six months ended October 31, 2011, compared to a net loss attributable to WPCS of approximately $6,339,000 for the six months ended October 31, 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For fiscal 2012, we expect a return to profitability as measured by our improved EBITDA as compared to fiscal 2011.  The return to profitability includes an expected increase in revenue compared to fiscal 2012 due to revenue earned to-date, additional revenue expected from increased bids, revenue enhancements as well as revenue recognition on projects that were delayed from fiscal 2011.  In addition, we have made management changes in operations, and have reduced selling, general and administrative costs through cost efficiency measures throughout the Company.  Each of these activities is expected to return us to profitability in fiscal 2012. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the success of these actions.  There can be no assurance that we will be successful in accomplishing our objectives.

At October 31, 2011, we had working capital of approximately $14,644,000, which consisted of current assets of approximately $41,603,000 and current liabilities of $26,959,000. Management believes that through a combination of internally available funds, operating expense management and future operating income, we have sufficient capital to meet our liquidity and capital resources requirements for the next twelve months.  Our cash and cash equivalents balance at October 31, 2011 of $5,207,000 included $1,912,000 of cash in our Australia Operations associated with our permanent reinvestment strategy. We do not believe that indefinite reinvestment of these funds offshore impairs our ability to meet our domestic debt or working capital obligations. In addition, we are extending certain vendor payments to longer payment terms, which we expect to continue over the next twelve months.

Our working capital needs are influenced by our level of operations, and generally increase with higher levels of revenue.  Our sources of cash in the last several years have come from operating activities and credit facility borrowings. Our future operating results may be affected by a number of factors including our success in bidding on future contracts and our continued ability to manage our controllable operating costs effectively. To the extent we grow by future acquisitions that involve consideration other than stock, our cash requirements may increase. Our capital requirements depend on numerous factors, including the market for our services, the resources we devote to developing, marketing, selling and supporting our business, and the timing and extent of establishing additional markets and other factors.

 OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Operating activities provided approximately $2,856,000 in cash for the six months ended October 31, 2011. The sources of cash from operating activities total approximately $9,943,000, comprised of  $2,302,000 in net non-cash charges, a $163,000 decrease in inventory, a $346,000 decrease in costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts, a $599,000 increase in billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts, a $6,508,000 increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses, and a $25,000 net decrease in prepaid taxes, income tax receivable and other assets.

Net earnings adjusted for non-cash items provided cash of approximately $662,000 versus using cash of provided approximately $413,000 in same period of fiscal 2011.  Working capital components provided cash of approximately $2,194,000 for the six months ended October 31, 2011 versus using cash of approximately $981,000 in the same period in the prior year.

Our investing activities provided cash of approximately $1,390,000 in cash during the six months ended October 31, 2011.  Investing activities include total proceeds of $2,000,000, from the sale of the St. Louis and Sarasota Operations, which was used to partially repay amounts outstanding under our line of credit with BOA under financing activities.  The net proceeds include approximately $299,000 of direct transaction costs offset by $311,000 used for acquiring property and equipment during the six months ended October 31, 2011.

Our financing activities used cash of approximately $3,905,000 during the six months ended October 31, 2011.  Financing activities include repayments under lines of credit of $3,500,000, $2,000,000 of which came from funds received from the sale of our St. Louis and Sarasota Operations.  Additional financing activities include repayments to our joint venture partner of $404,000 in the normal course of business, new borrowings under equipment notes payable of $31,000, offset by repayments of previous loans payable and capital lease obligations of approximately $32,000.
 
Our capital requirements depend on numerous factors, including the market for our services, the resources we devote to developing, marketing, selling and supporting our business, the timing and extent of establishing additional markets and other factors.
 
Bank of America Loan Agreement and Default

  On April 10, 2010, we renewed our loan agreement (Loan Agreement) with Bank of America, N.A. (BOA), for three years under terms similar to the prior loan agreement with BOA, including the same customary covenants. The Loan Agreement provides for a revolving line of credit in an amount not to exceed $15,000,000, together with a letter of credit facility not to exceed $2,000,000. We also entered into a security agreement with BOA, pursuant to which we granted a security interest to BOA in all of our domestic assets and 65% of the capital stock of our Australia Operations. The Loan Agreement contains customary covenants, including but not limited to (i) funded debt to tangible net worth and (ii) minimum interest coverage ratio. At October 31, 2011, outstanding borrowings were $3,500,000 under the Loan Agreement.

To date, we have paid down our outstanding borrowings under the Loan Agreement with BOA to $2,365,158.  However,we are currently in default for our failure to repay the outstanding line of credit in full, on or before November 30, 2011.  In addition, we did not make a forbearance payment to BOA of $75,000, which was due on November 30, 2011.  As a result of these defaults, BOA is entitled to exercise its rights and remedies pursuant to the Loan Agreement.  BOA has not demanded payment on the amounts outstanding. We are currently negotiating and expect to complete the terms of another forbearance amendment with BOA. While we have commenced discussions with BOA concerning the Loan Agreement and the events of default, there can be no assurance that we will come to any agreement with BOA regarding repayment, future forbearance terms, waiver and/or modification of the Loan Agreement and/or the default of the financial covenants.

In the meantime, we are seeking alternative debt financing and have conducted discussions with other senior lenders to replace the Loan Agreement. We may not be successful in obtaining alternative debt financing or additional financing sources may not be available on acceptable terms.  If the Loan Agreement is called and we are unable to obtain alternative debt financing, we would need to use our existing cash and cash equivalents to repay the outstanding borrowings, which may not be sufficient to satisfy our current obligations as they become due.

ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
 OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


During fiscal 2011, we were in default of the financial covenants under the Loan Agreement due to the operating losses incurred during the previous fiscal year.  In the first quarter of fiscal 2011, we obtained a waiver for this non-compliance from BOA.  However, as a result of the non-compliance with the financial covenants at the completion of our second fiscal quarter of 2011, on December 22, 2010 we executed the terms of a forbearance agreement with BOA (the Forbearance Agreement). On March 28, 2011 but effective February 28, 2011, we entered into a first amendment (the Forbearance Amendment) of the Forbearance Agreement.  Under the terms of the Forbearance Amendment, BOA agreed not to exercise its rights or remedies against us as a result of these events of default until the earlier of (a) September 30, 2011 or (b) an event of termination under the Forbearance Agreement.

On June 28, 2011, we received a letter dated June 27, 2011 (the “Notice”) from counsel to BOA pursuant to which BOA alleged that certain events of default considered to be events of termination under the Forbearance Agreement have occurred under the Loan Agreement (including the Forbearance Agreement), including failures to (i) provide a compliance certificate pursuant to section 8.2(f) of the Loan Agreement, (ii) maintain EBITDA on a quarterly basis of not less than $425,000 for the quarter ending April 30, 2011 pursuant to section 8.3 of the Loan Agreement, (iii) maintain, on a consolidated basis, a Funded Debt to Tangible Net Worth Ratio of not more than 1.00 to 1.00 as of April 30, 2011 pursuant to section 8.4 of the Loan Agreement, (iv) maintain, on a consolidated basis, an Interest Coverage Ratio, on a quarterly (and not a rolling four-quarter) basis, of at least 3.00 to 1.00 for the quarter ending April 30, 2011 pursuant to section 8.5 of the Loan Agreement, (v) maintain, on a consolidated basis, a Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio on a quarterly basis of not more than 21.0 to 1.0 for the quarter ending April 30, 2011 pursuant to section 8.25 of the Loan Agreement, and (vi) maintain, on a consolidated basis, a Basic Fixed Charge Ratio of not less than 1.20 to 1.00 as of the April 30, 2011 quarter end pursuant to section 2(d)(iii) of the  Forbearance Amendment.

On September 1, 2011, we completed the sale of the St. Louis and Sarasota Operations to Multiband for $2,000,000 in cash.  The $2,000,000 in cash proceeds was paid to BOA, to reduce the outstanding borrowings under the Loan Agreement to $3,560,977 as of September 13, 2011.

On September 27, 2011, we entered into a second amendment to the Forbearance Agreement (the Second Forbearance Amendment). Under the terms of the Second Forbearance Amendment, BOA agreed not to exercise its rights or remedies against us as a result of these events of default until the earlier of (a) November 30, 2011 or (b) an event of termination under the Forbearance Agreement.  During the term of the Second Forbearance Amendment, the available funds pursuant to the Loan Agreement were limited to the lesser of (a) (i) from September 27, 2011 through and including October 20, 2011, $3,800,000, (ii) from October 21, 2011 through and including November 29, 2011, $3,500,000, and (iii) on November 30, 2011 and all times thereafter, $0, or (b) the aggregate sum of (i) through and including October 1, 2011, 70%, and then on and after October 2, 2011, 60%, of eligible accounts receivable (as defined in the Forbearance Agreement) which are not more than 90 days past original invoice date, plus (ii) 30% percent of eligible inventory (as defined in the Forbearance Agreement), provided that, at no time shall advances against eligible inventory exceed $500,000. On October 21, 2011, we paid $60,977 to reduce the borrowings outstanding under the Loan Agreement to $3,500,000. The per annum interest rate was amended to be the Prime Rate plus (a) 200 basis points through and including September 30, 2011, (b) 300 basis points from October 1, 2011 through and including October 31, 2011, (c) 400 basis points from November 1, 2011 through and including November 30, 2011, or (d) 500 basis points, or such higher rate as permitted by the Loan Agreement, from December 1, 2011 until the outstanding loan is repaid. As of the date of this filing, BOA has not assessed the higher rate.

On November 29, 2011, as part of the terms of the Second Forbearance Amendment, we agreed to sign over a tax refund from the Internal Revenue Service of $1,134,842 to BOA, which was applied against the outstanding loan amount.  This payment reduced the outstanding borrowings under the Loan Agreement to $2,365,158.

In the alternative, we could raise additional funds from a sale of common stock.  On April 15, 2010, we filed a registration statement on Form S-3 using a “shelf” registration process.  Under this shelf registration process, we may offer up to 2,314,088 shares of our common stock, from time to time, in amounts and at prices and terms that we will determine at the time of the offering.  Each share of our common stock automatically includes one right to purchase one one-thousandth of a share of Series D Junior Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, which becomes exercisable pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in a Rights Plan Agreement with Interwest Transfer Co., Inc., as amended from time to time. If we sell any securities, the net proceeds will be added to our general corporate funds and may be used for general corporate purposes.   To date, no shares of our common stock have been issued under this shelf registration statement and we may not be successful in issuing additional common stock on acceptable terms or at all.

Other Short-Term Commitments
 
 The China Operations has outstanding loans due within the next twelve months to our joint venture partner, Taian Gas Group (TGG), of approximately $3,076,000. We expect for TGG to renew any remaining unpaid loan balances in its continued support of the China Operations consistent with historical practice.

On November 4, 2009, we acquired Pride. The purchase price represents an amount up to $3,408,913 of which $1,975,429 was paid upon closing.  Additional purchase price is to be paid by us to the former Pride shareholders based upon the achievement of earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) targets for each of the twelve month periods ending October 31, 2010 and 2011, respectively.  In fiscal 2011, we made the first contingent consideration payment of $1,022,003 (including currency exchange) to the former Pride shareholders as the Pride actual EBIT of $1,467,729  for the first twelve month period ended October 31, 2010 exceeded the EBIT target amount of $1,103,386 (the Target Amount). We will pay another $919,488 if Pride’s EBIT for the twelve month period ending October 31, 2011 equals or exceeds the Target Amount.  In the event that Pride’s EBIT is less than the Target Amount for either measurement period, such $919,488 payment will be reduced by the percentage of the shortfall between the actual EBIT and the Target Amount.  Following the first year contingent payment, and the recording of $83,628 of additional non-cash expense for the six months ended October 31, 2011 for the change in the fair value of the contingent consideration from the present value of the future payments of this obligation, the fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration was $1,058,680 as of October 31, 2011.

 Pride is an electrical and security services provider specializing in the commercial and government sectors and focuses on low voltage security installations, alarm systems, video surveillance and access controls.  The acquisition of Pride provides further international expansion into Australia.

Backlog

As of October 31, 2011, we had a backlog of unfilled orders of approximately $30.2 million compared to approximately $39.6 million at July 31, 2011. The decrease in backlog at October 31, 2011 compared to the previous period is due primarily to an increase in revenue recognized to approximately $28 million for the three months ended October 31, 2011 compared to revenue recognized of $23 million in the three months ended July 31, 2011. Although backlog was replenished during the three months ended October 31, 2011, it was not replenished at the same level or amount to offset the increase in revenue during the second quarter ended October 31, 2011, compared to the preceding quarter ended July 31, 2011.  We define backlog as the value of work-in-hand to be provided for customers as of a specific date where the following conditions are met (with the exception of engineering change orders): (i) the price of the work to be done is fixed; (ii) the scope of the work to be done is fixed, both in definition and amount; and (iii) there is a written contract, purchase order, agreement or other documentary evidence which represents a firm commitment by the customer to pay us for the work to be performed. These backlog amounts are based on contract values and purchase orders and may not result in actual receipt of revenue in the originally anticipated period or at all. We have experienced variances in the realization of our backlog because of project delays or cancellations resulting from external market factors and economic factors beyond our control and we may experience such delays or cancellations in the future. Backlog does not include new firm commitments that may be awarded to us by our customers from time to time in future periods. These new project awards could be started and completed in this same future period. Accordingly, our backlog does not necessarily represent the total revenue that could be earned by us in future periods.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies

Financial Reporting Release No. 60, published by the SEC, recommends that all companies include a discussion of critical accounting policies used in the preparation of their financial statements. While all these significant accounting policies impact our 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 consolidated financial statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
 OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


We believe that given current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any other reasonable judgments or estimate methodologies would cause a material effect on our condensed consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity for the periods presented in this report.

The accounting policies identified as critical are as follows:

Use of Estimates

In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates relate to the calculation of percentage-of-completion on uncompleted contracts, allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of inventory, realization of deferred tax assets, amortization method and lives of customer lists, acquisition-related contingency consideration and estimates of the fair value of reporting units and discounted cash flows used in determining whether goodwill has been impaired. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are due within contractual payment terms and are stated at amounts due from customers net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Credit is extended based on evaluation of a customer's financial condition. Accounts outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due. We determine our allowance by considering a number of factors, including the length of time trade accounts receivable are past due, our previous loss history, the customer's current ability to pay its obligation to the us, and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole.   We write off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible, and payments subsequently received on such receivables are credited to the allowance for doubtful accounts.

Goodwill and Other Long-lived Assets

We assess the impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from their use and eventual disposition. Our long-lived assets subject to this evaluation include property and equipment and amortizable intangible assets. We assess the impairment of goodwill annually as of April 30 and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that an impairment loss has been incurred. Intangible assets other than goodwill are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be fully recoverable. We are required to make judgments and assumptions in identifying those events or changes in circumstances that may trigger impairment. Some of the factors we consider include a significant decrease in the market value of an asset, significant changes in the extent or manner for which the asset is being used or in its physical condition, a significant change, delay or departure in our business strategy related to the asset, significant negative changes in the business climate, industry or economic condition, or current period operating losses, or negative cash flow combined  with a history of similar losses or a forecast that indicates continuing losses associated with the use of an asset.

We recorded an estimated non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $26.6 million, in the fourth quarter of fiscal year ended April 30, 2011. We completed the second step of the goodwill impairment test in the second fiscal quarter of fiscal 2012, which included calculating an implied fair value of the goodwill of the reporting units, by allocating the fair values of substantially all of its individual assets, liabilities and identified intangible assets, as if the reporting units had been acquired in a business combination. The completion of this second step did not result in an adjustment to the goodwill impairment charge previously recorded in fiscal 2011.
 
Deferred Income Taxes

We determine deferred tax liabilities and assets at the end of each period based on the future tax consequences that can be attributed to net operating loss carryovers and differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, using the tax rate expected to be in effect when the taxes are actually paid or recovered. The recognition of deferred tax assets is reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that the tax benefits will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets depends upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible.

ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
 OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


We consider past performance, expected future taxable income and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the amount of the valuation allowance. Our forecast of expected future taxable income is based over such future periods that we believe can be reasonably estimated. Changes in market conditions that differ materially from our current expectations and changes in future tax laws in the U.S. may cause us to change our judgments of future taxable income. These changes, if any, may require us to adjust our existing tax valuation allowance higher or lower than the amount we have recorded.

Revenue Recognition

We generate our revenue by providing design-build engineering services for communications infrastructure. Our engineering services report revenue pursuant to customer contracts that span varying periods of time. We report revenue from contracts when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, fees are fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured.

We record revenue and profit from long-term contracts on a percentage-of-completion basis, measured by the percentage of contract costs incurred to date to the estimated total costs for each contract.  Contracts in process are valued at cost plus accrued profits less earned revenues and progress payments on uncompleted contracts. Contract costs include direct materials, direct labor, third party subcontractor services and those indirect costs related to contract performance.  Contracts are generally considered substantially complete when engineering is completed and/or site construction is completed.

We have numerous contracts that are in various stages of completion. Such contracts require estimates to determine the appropriate cost and revenue recognition. Cost estimates are reviewed monthly on a contract-by-contract basis, and are revised periodically throughout the life of the contract such that adjustments to profit resulting from revisions are made cumulative to the date of the revision.  Significant management judgments and estimates, including the estimated cost to complete projects, which determines the project’s percent complete, must be made and used in connection with the revenue recognized in the accounting period.  Current estimates may be revised as additional information becomes available. If estimates of costs to complete long-term contracts indicate a loss, provision is made currently for the total loss anticipated.

The length of our contracts varies. Assets and liabilities related to long-term contracts are included in current assets and current liabilities as they will be liquidated in the normal course of contract completion, although this may require more than one year.

We also recognize certain revenue from short-term contracts when equipment is delivered or the services have been provided to the customer.  For maintenance contracts, revenue is recognized ratably over the service period.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

No recently issued accounting pronouncement issued or effective after the end of the fiscal year is expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES



(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as of October 31, 2011. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Based on our evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are designed at a reasonable assurance level and are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission 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.
 
(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

We regularly review our system of internal control over financial reporting and make changes to our processes and systems to improve controls and increase efficiency, while ensuring that we maintain an effective internal control environment. Changes may include such activities as implementing new, more efficient systems, consolidating activities, and migrating processes.

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

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.                      LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Except as disclosed herein, we are currently not a party to any material legal proceedings or claims.

On or about June 22, 2011, a purported shareholder of the Company filed a derivative and putative class action lawsuit in the Court of Common Pleas of Pennsylvania, Chester County against the Company and its directors, by filing a Summons and Complaint.  The case is Ralph Rapozo v. WPCS International Incorporated, et al., Docket No. 11-06837.  In this action, the plaintiff seeks to enjoin the proposed transaction in which Multiband would acquire all of the outstanding shares of the Company.  The plaintiff alleges, among other things, that the consideration to be paid for such acquisition by Multiband is inadequate, and that the individual board members failed to engage in an honest and fair sales process for the Company and failed to disclose material information for the purposes of advancing their own interests over those of the Company and its shareholders.  To that end, the plaintiff asserts a claim for breach of fiduciary duty against the Company’s board of directors.  In the event that the proposed transaction is consummated, the plaintiff seeks money damages.  The plaintiff also asserts a claim against the Company and Multiband for aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty for which he seeks unspecified money damages.  WPCS’ time to answer or move with respect to the Complaint has not yet expired.  However, the Company and its directors deny the material allegations of this complaint and intend to vigorously defend this action.

On or about June 22, 2011, a purported shareholder of the Company filed a derivative and putative class action lawsuit in the Court of Common Pleas of Pennsylvania, Chester County against the Company and its directors, by filing a Summons and Complaint.  The case was Robert Shepler v. WPCS International Incorporated, et al, Docket No. 11-06838.  On August 11, 2011, the Shepler case was consolidated into the Rapozo vs. WPCS case.

On or about June 30, 2011, a purported shareholder of the Company filed a derivative and putative class action lawsuit in the Court of Common Pleas of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia County against the Company and its directors, by filing a Summons and Complaint.  The case is Edwin M.
