NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC") for quarterly reports on Form 10-QSB and do not include all
of the information and footnote disclosures required by accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. Accordingly, the unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for
the fiscal year ended April 30, 2004. The accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of the management, considered
necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations
and cash flows for the interim periods. Operating results for the three and six
month periods ended October 31, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2005. Certain
reclassifications have been made to prior period financial statements to conform
to the current presentation.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of WPCS International Incorporated ("WPCS") and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, WPCS Incorporated , Invisinet Inc. ("Invisinet"), Walker Comm,
Inc. ("Walker"), Clayborn Contracting Group, Inc. ("Clayborn") from August 22,
2003 (date of acquisition), and Heinz Corporation ("Heinz") from April 2, 2004
(date of acquisition), collectively the "Company".
The Company is an engineering company that focuses on the implementation
requirements of wireless technology and specialty communication systems. The
Company provides a range of services including, site design, product
integration, security, structured cabling, construction and project management.
On August 22, 2003, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of
Clayborn in exchange for an aggregate of 826,446 newly issued shares of the
Company's common stock with a fair value of approximately $868,000 and $900,000
cash consideration. An additional $1,100,000 is due by September 30, 2007,
payable in quarterly distributions, by payment to the Clayborn shareholders of
50% of the quarterly post-tax profits of Clayborn.
On April 2, 2004, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common stock of

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SELECTED SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of selected accounting policies consistently applied in the
preparation of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements
follows:
Goodwill
In accordance with the guidelines of Statement of Financial Standards ("SFAS")
No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," goodwill and indefinite-lived
intangible assets are no longer amortized but are assessed for impairment on at
least an annual basis. SFAS No. 142 also requires that intangible assets with
estimable useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives
to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment.
SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill be tested for impairment upon adoption and
at least annually thereafter, utilizing a two-step methodology. The initial step
requires the Company to determine the fair value of the business acquired
(reporting unit) and compare it to the carrying value, including goodwill, of
such business (reporting unit). If the fair value exceeds the carrying value, no
impairment loss would be 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.
The Company determined the fair value of the businesses acquired 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. On an ongoing basis, the
Company will perform its annual impairment test during the fourth quarter absent
any interim impairment indicators.
Changes in goodwill during the six months ended October 31, 2004 are as follows:
Beginning balance, May 1, 2004 $8,681,870
Reversal of accrual established in purchase accounting (51,790)
Transaction costs 7,249
-----------
Ending balance, October 31, 2004 $8,637,329
===========
Revenue Recognition
The Company generates its revenue by providing project engineering and
installation services for specialty communication systems, including wireless
fidelity (WiFi) and fixed wireless deployment. The Company provides a range of
specialty communication services including project management, site design,
structured cabling, product integration, network security and technical support.
These projects may require the integration of multiple communication components
and engineering services in order to complete the project.
10
WPCS INTERNATIONAL INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
The Company records profits on these projects on a percentage-of-completion
basis on the cost-to-cost method. Contracts in process are valued at cost plus
accrued profits less earned revenues and progress payments on uncompleted
contracts. Contracts are generally considered substantially complete when
engineering is completed and/or site construction is completed. The Company
includes in operations pass-through revenue and costs on cost-plus contracts,
which are customer-reimbursable materials, equipment and subcontractor costs,
when the Company determines that it is responsible for the engineering
specification, procurement and management of such cost components on behalf of
the customer.
The Company has numerous contracts that are in various stages of completion.
Such contracts require estimates to determine the appropriate cost and revenue
recognition. The Company has a history of making reasonably dependable estimates
of the extent of progress towards completion, contract revenues and contract
costs. However, 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.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Earnings (loss) per common share is computed pursuant to SFAS No. 128, "Earnings
Per Share" ("EPS"). Basic income (loss) per share is computed as net income
(loss) available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential
dilution that could occur from common stock issuable through stock options,
restrictive stock awards, warrants and other convertible securities. At October
31, 2004, the Company had 4,898,475 stock options and 5,109,400 warrants
outstanding. At October 31, 2003, the Company had 2,979,975 stock options and
5,109,400 warrants outstanding.
For the three months ended October 31, 2004, 2,114,475 stock options and
5,109,400 warrants were not included in the computation of fully diluted
earnings per share, because the stock option and warrant exercise prices
exceeded the market price of the common stock and, therefore, the effects would
be antidilutive. The assumed conversion of the remaining 2,784,000 stock options
resulted in a 483,582 share increase in weighted average shares for fully
diluted earnings per share.
For the six months ended October 31, 2004, 1,564,475 stock options and 4,444,400
warrants were not included in the computation of fully diluted earnings per
share, because the stock option and warrant exercise prices exceeded the market
price of the common stock and, therefore, the effects would be antidilutive. The
assumed conversion of the remaining 3,334,000 stock options and 665,000 warrants
resulted in a 799,968 share increase in weighted average shares for fully
diluted earnings per share.
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 revenues 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 and useful life of customer lists. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.

NOTE 3- ACQUISITIONS
In accordance with SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations," acquisitions are
accounted for under the purchase accounting method of accounting. Under the
purchase method of accounting, assets acquired and liabilities assumed are
recorded at their estimated fair values. Goodwill is recorded to the extent the
merger consideration, including certain acquisition and closing costs, exceeds
the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired at the date of the
merger.
On August 22, 2003, the Company completed a merger with Clayborn, a California
corporation. The acquisition of Clayborn gives the Company expertise in
engineering and deployment services for specialty communication systems and
additional wireless opportunities to pursue.
The aggregate consideration paid by the Company for Clayborn was approximately
$2,932,000. The Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of
Clayborn in exchange for $900,000 cash consideration and $64,000 of transaction
costs, and 826,446 newly issued shares of the Company's common stock with a fair
value of approximately $868,000 based on the average value of the Company's
common stock as of a few days before and after the merger terms were agreed to
and announced. An additional $1,100,000 is due by September 30, 2007, payable
prior to that date in quarterly distributions, by payment to the Clayborn
shareholders of 50% of the quarterly post tax profits of Clayborn.
The purchase price allocation has been determined as follows:
Assets purchased:
Cash $ 134,218
Accounts receivable 575,804
Costs in excess of billings 231,562
Income tax refunds receivable 104,765
Inventory 39,000

Heinz
On April 2, 2004, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding common
stock of Heinz for $1,000,000, as follows: (1) $700,000 of the Company's common
stock, based on the closing price of our common stock on March 30, 2004 of $0.98
per share, for an aggregate of 714,286 newly issued shares of the Company's
common stock and (2) $300,000 total cash consideration, of which $100,000 was
paid at closing and a $200,000 non-interest bearing promissory note. Of the
$200,000, $75,000 is payable on the first and second anniversaries of the
closing date and $50,000 is payable on the third anniversary of the closing
date. The purchase price includes the present value of the note totaling
$182,648, discounted at 5%. The current and long-term discounted maturity of
this note is $71,429 and $111,219, respectively. Based on the preliminary
information currently available, the acquisition resulted in goodwill of
approximately $1,019,000. Upon completion of a formal purchase price allocation
there may be a decrease in the amount assigned to goodwill and a corresponding
increase in tangible or other intangible assets.
Heinz is a St. Louis, Missouri based provider of in-building wireless
infrastructure services for both cellular and WiFi applications, including
consulting, integration and installation services for wireless infrastructure.
In addition, Heinz has performed fixed wireless services, structured cabling,
and cellular base station equipment installation and testing. The acquisition of
Heinz gives the Company additional project engineering expertise for wireless
infrastructure services, broadens its customer base, and expands its
geographical presence in the Midwest.
The preliminary purchase price allocation has been determined as follows:
Assets purchased:
Cash $ 8,052
Accounts receivable 605,435
Costs in excess of billings 103,459
Fixed assets 23,676

In connection with the acquisition of Clayborn, an additional $1,100,000 is due
by September 30, 2007, payable in quarterly distributions to the Clayborn
shareholders, by payment of 50% of the quarterly post tax profits of Clayborn.
NOTE 6- LINE OF CREDIT
Walker maintains a revolving line of credit facility with a commercial bank,
with a borrowing limit up to 70% of eligible Walker accounts receivable. As of
October 31, 2004, the borrowing base was $700,000 and the outstanding balance
was approximately $333,000. Effective August 30, 2004, the amount available to
Walker was decreased from $1,200,000 to $700,000 to support a $500,000 letter of
credit issued in favor of Walker's surety bonding company. Walker was awarded a
$5,000,000 contract in August 2004, which requires performance and payment
bonds. In order to provide the bonds, the surety bonding company required a
letter of credit for 10% of the total contract award. The line of credit is
collateralized by all of Walker's accounts receivable, inventory and equipment
and bears interest at the Wall Street Journal Prime Index Rate plus 1.5% (6.25%
as of October 31, 2004). In addition, the Company and certain executive officers
of the Company have personally guaranteed this line of credit facility. This
line is subject to annual renewal and matures on July 30, 2005. Accrued interest
is payable monthly.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto set forth in Item
1of this Quarterly Report. In addition to historical information, this
discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks,
uncertainties and assumptions, which could cause actual results to differ
materially from Management's expectations. Factors that could cause differences
include, but are not limited to, expected market demand for the Company's
services, fluctuations in pricing for products distributed by the Company and
services offered by competitors, as well as general conditions of the
telecommunications marketplace.
Overview
WPCS International Incorporated is an engineering company that focuses on the
implementation requirements of wireless technology and specialty communication
systems. The Company provides a range of services including site design,
product integration, security, structured cabling, construction and project
management.
As a result of the acquisitions of Invisinet, Inc. on November 13, 2002 and
Walker Comm, Inc. on December 31, 2002, we experienced significant growth in our
overall business and commenced operations in two segments, specialty
communication systems and wireless infrastructure services. With the acquisition
of Clayborn Contracting Group, Inc. and Heinz Corporation in fiscal 2004, we
experienced additional growth in each of each of these segments, respectively.
Results of Operations
Management currently considers the following events, trends and uncertainties to
be important to understand its results of operations and financial condition:
o For the three months ended October 31, 2004, revenue was approximately
$10.3 million compared to $6.2 million for the same period a year ago. The
increase in revenue for the three months was attributed to organic growth
of approximately $2.2 million and strategic acquisitions of approximately
$1.9 million. For the six months ended October 31, 2004, revenue was
approximately $17.6 million compared to $9.3 million for the same period a
year ago. The increase in revenue for the six months was attributed to
organic growth of approximately $4.2 million and strategic acquisitions of
approximately $4.1 million.
o The Company operates in two segments, specialty communication systems and
wireless infrastructure services. With the acquisition of Clayborn in the
second quarter of fiscal 2004, and Heinz in the fourth quarter of fiscal
2004, we experienced additional expansion of the specialty communication
and wireless infrastructure segments, respectively.
o For the three months ended October 31, 2004, the specialty communication
segment represents approximately 73% of total revenue, and wireless
infrastructure services represent approximately 27% of total revenue. For
the six months ended October 31, 2004, the specialty communication segment
represents approximately 70% of total revenue, and wireless infrastructure
services represent approximately 30% of total revenue.
19
WPCS INTERNATIONAL INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
o Furthermore, we plan to evaluate additional acquisition opportunities in
fiscal 2005 in an attempt to build out a national, strategically located
workforce that will allow our segments to leverage, to the extent feasible,
related internal synergies, and to take advantage of expected growth in the
wireless infrastructure and specialty communication markets. On November
24, 2004, the Company acquired Quality Communications and Alarm Company,
Inc. ("Quality") for $6.7 million in cash, subject to adjustment. Quality
will be included in our wireless infrastructure segment.
o As of October 31, 2004, our backlog is approximately $18.4 million. Our
backlog is comprised of the uncompleted portion of services to be performed
under job-specific contracts or purchase orders. We expect this backlog to
be fully recognized as revenue within the next eight months.
o Our selling, general and administrative expenses decreased as a percentage
of revenue for the three and six months ended October 31, 2004, as compared
to the same period in the prior year.

WPCS INTERNATIONAL INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenue
We generate our revenue by providing project engineering and deployment services
for specialty communication systems, wireless fidelity (WiFi) and fixed wireless
systems. These projects may require the integration of multiple communication
components and engineering services in order to complete the customer's
requirements. We record profits on these projects on a percentage-of-completion
basis on the cost-to-cost method. Contracts in process are valued at cost plus
accrued profits less earned revenues and progress payments on uncompleted
contracts.
Revenue for the three months ended October 31, 2004 was approximately
$10,295,000, as compared to $6,226,000 for the three months ended October 31,
2003. The increase in revenue for the three months was attributed to internal
growth of approximately $2.2 million from Walker and Invisinet, and
approximately $1.9 million from the acquisitions of Clayborn and Heinz.
Total revenue from the specialty communication segment for the three months
ended October 31, 2004 and 2003 was approximately $7,544,000 or 73.3% and
$5,124,000 or 82.0% of total revenue, respectively. Wireless infrastructure
segment revenue for the three months ended October 31, 2004 and 2003 was
approximately $2,751,000 or 16.7% and $1,102,000 or 18.0% of total revenue,
respectively.
Cost of Revenue
In the case of the wireless infrastructure segment, cost of revenue consists of
component material costs, direct labor costs and costs incurred for third party
subcontractor services. For the specialty communication segment, cost of revenue
consists of direct costs on contracts, including materials, direct labor,
subcontractor costs and other overhead costs. Our cost of revenue was
approximately $8,079,000 or 78% of revenue for the three months ended October
31, 2004, compared to $4,611,000 or 74% for the same period of the prior year.
The dollar increase in our total cost of revenue is due to the corresponding
increase in revenue as a result of the acquisitions of Clayborn and Heinz,
internal growth in revenue from Walker and Invisinet, and an increase in costs
on certain contracts which were incurred in the second quarter. The increase in
cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue is due primarily to an increase in
the actual costs incurred or estimated costs which may be incurred on such
contracts that were recognized in the second quarter of 2005.
The specialty communication segment cost of revenue and cost of revenue as a
percentage of revenue for the three months ended October 31, 2004 and 2003 was
approximately $6,047,000 and 80.2% and $3,725,000 and 72.7%, respectively. As
discussed above, the increase in cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue is
due to an increase in the actual costs incurred or estimated costs which may be
incurred on certain contracts that were recognized in the second quarter of
2005.

WPCS INTERNATIONAL INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Wireless infrastructure segment cost of revenue and cost of revenue as a
percentage of revenue for the three months ended October 31, 2004 and 2003 was
approximately $2,032,000 and 73.8% and $886,000 and 80.4%, respectively. The
decrease in cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue is due to the revenue mix
attributable to internal growth and recent acquisitions.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
For the three months ended October 31, 2004, total selling, general and
administrative expenses were $2,044,000, or 20% of total revenue compared to
$1,456,000 or 23% of revenue for the same period in the prior year. The
percentage decrease is due to the management of our cost structure as we
leverage incremental revenue dollars in fiscal 2005. Included in selling,
general and administrative expenses for the three months ended October 31, 2004
are $702,000 for salaries, commissions, and payroll taxes. The increase in
salaries and payroll taxes compared to the same period in the prior year is due
to the increase in headcount as a result of the acquisitions of Clayborn and
Heinz. In addition, Walker employs union employees for whom it incurred $562,000
in union benefits during the quarter. Professional fees were $127,000, which
include accounting, legal and investor relation fees. Insurance costs were
$325,000 and rent for office facilities was $91,000. Other selling, general and
administrative expenses totaled $237,000. For the three months ended October 31,
2004, total selling, general and administrative expenses for the specialty
communication and wireless infrastructure segments were $1,519,000 and $258,000,
respectively.
For the three months ended October 31, 2003, selling, general and administrative
expenses were $1,456,000 or 23.4% of revenue. Included in the selling, general
and administrative expenses were $524,000 for salaries, commissions and payroll
taxes, $175,000 in professional fees, $318,000 in union benefits, insurance
costs of $158,000. Rent for our office facilities amounted to $65,000. Other
selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $216,000. For the three
months ended October 31, 2003, total selling, general and administrative
expenses for the specialty communication and wireless infrastructure segments
were $962,000 and $264,000, respectively.
Depreciation and amortization
For the three months ended October 31, 2004 and 2003, depreciation was
approximately $86,000 and $64,000, respectively. The increase in depreciation is
due to the acquisition of fixed assets on acquiring Clayborn and Heinz. The
amortization of customer lists for the three months ended October 31, 2004 was
$39,000 as compared to $27,000 for the same period of the prior year. The
increase in amortization is due to the acquisition of additional customer lists
from Clayborn. All customer lists are being amortized over a period of five
years from the date of their acquisition.
Net income (loss)
Net income was approximately $31,000 for the three months ended October 31,
2004. Net income included income tax expense of approximately $5,000 to provide
for federal and state income taxes and was less than the amount based on the
statutory rate due to certain book-to-tax permanent differences. The variation
in the effective income tax rates between periods is primarily due to certain
purchase price adjustments related to the Clayborn acquisition.
Net income was approximately $11,000 for the three months ended October 31,
2003.

Cost of Revenue
Our cost of revenue was approximately $13,334,000 or 75.9% of revenue for the
six months ended October 31, 2004, compared to $6,640,000 or 71.2% for the same
period of the prior year. The dollar increase in our total cost of revenue is
due to the corresponding increase in revenue during the second quarter as a
result of the acquisitions of Clayborn and Heinz, internal growth in revenue
from Walker and Invisinet, and an increase in costs on certain contracts which
were incurred in the second quarter. The increase in cost of revenue as a
percentage of revenue is due primarily to an increase in the actual costs
incurred or estimated costs which may be incurred on such contracts that were
recognized in the second quarter of 2005.
The specialty communication segment cost of revenue and cost of revenue as a

approximately $9,510,000 and 76.9% and $5,319,000 and 69.9%, respectively. As
discussed above, the increase in cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue is
due to an increase in the actual costs incurred or estimated costs which may be
incurred on certain contracts that were recognized in the second quarter of
2005.
Wireless infrastructure segment cost of revenue and cost of revenue as a

approximately $3,824,000 and 73.4% and $1,321,000 and 76.7%, respectively. The
decrease in cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue is due to the revenue mix
attributable to internal growth and recent acquisitions.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
For the six months ended October 31, 2004, total selling, general and
administrative expenses were $3,801,000, or 21.6% of total revenue compared to
$2,541,000 or 27.3% of revenue for the same period in the prior year. The
percentage decrease is due to the management of our cost structure as we
leverage incremental revenue dollars in fiscal 2005. Included in selling,
general and administrative expenses for the six months ended October 31, 2004
are $1,403,000 for salaries, commissions, and payroll taxes. The increase in
salaries and payroll taxes compared to the same period in the prior year is due
to the increase in headcount as a result of the acquisitions of Clayborn and
Heinz. In addition, Walker employs union employees for whom it incurred $925,000
in union benefits during the quarter. Professional fees were $316,000, which
include accounting, legal and investor relation fees. Insurance costs were
$491,000 and rent for office facilities was $157,000. Other selling, general and
administrative expenses totaled $509,000. For the six months ended October 31,
2004, total selling, general and administrative expenses for the specialty
communication and wireless infrastructure segments were $2,609,000 and $525,000,
respectively.
For the six months ended October 31, 2003, selling, general and administrative
expenses were $2,541,000 or 27.3% of revenue. Included in the selling, general
and administrative expenses was $878,000 for salaries, commissions and payroll
taxes, $372,000 in professional fees, $545,000 in union benefits, and insurance
costs of $287,000. Rent for our office facilities amounted to $113,000. Other
selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $346,000. For the six
months ended October 31, 2003, total selling, general and administrative
expenses for the specialty communication and wireless infrastructure segments
were $1,625,000 and $455,000, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization
For the six months ended October 31, 2004 and 2003, depreciation was
approximately $168,000 and $100,000, respectively. The increase in depreciation
is due to the acquisition of fixed assets on acquiring Clayborn and Heinz. The
amortization of customer lists for the six months ended October 31, 2004 was
$79,000 as compared to $54,000 for the same period of the prior year. The
increase in amortization is due to the acquisition of additional customer lists
from Clayborn. All customer lists are being amortized over a period of five
years from the date of their acquisition.
Net income (loss)
Net income was approximately $108,000 for the six months ended October 31, 2004.
Net income included income tax expense of approximately $72,000 to provide for
federal and state income taxes due to certain book-to-tax permanent differences.
The variation in the effective income tax rates between periods is primarily due
to certain purchase price adjustments related to the Clayborn acquisition.
We incurred a net loss of approximately $112,000 for the six months ended
October 31, 2003.
Liquidity and capital resources
At October 31, 2004, we had working capital of $2,526,000, which consisted of
current assets of approximately $10,199,000 and current liabilities of
$7,673,000.
Operating activities used $1,032,000 in cash during the six months ended October
31, 2004. This was mainly comprised of $108,000 of net income plus $137,000 in
net non-cash charges, a $896,000 increase in accounts receivable, $56,000
decrease in income taxes payable, a $230,000 increase in costs and estimated
earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts, $694,000 increase in
accounts payable and accrued expenses, $775,000 decrease in billings in excess
of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts payable and a $14,000
net increase in other assets.
Our investing activities utilized $101,000 in cash during the six months ended
October 31, 2004, which consisted of $79,000 paid for property and equipment and
$22,000 of acquisition earn-out payments and other acquisition transaction
costs.
Our financing activities utilized cash of $219,000 during the six months ended
October 31, 2004. Financing activities included repayments on lines of credit of
$173,000, repayment of equipment loans and capital lease obligations of
approximately $19,000, and additional equity issuance costs of approximately
$27,000.
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. Walker maintains a revolving line of credit facility
with a commercial bank with a borrowing limit up to 70% of eligible Walker
accounts receivable. As of October 31, 2004, the borrowing base was $700,000 and
the outstanding balance was approximately $333,000. Effective August 30, 2004,
the amount available to Walker was decreased from $1,200,000 to $700,000 to
support a $500,000 letter of credit issued in favor of Walker's surety bonding

company. Walker was awarded a $5,000,000 contract in August 2004, which requires
performance and payment bonds. In order to provide the bonds, the surety bonding
company required a letter of credit for 10% of the total contract award. The
line of credit is collateralized by all of Walker's accounts receivable,
inventory and equipment, and bears interest at the Wall Street Journal Prime
Index Rate plus 1.5% (6.25% as of October 31, 2004). In addition, the Company
and certain executive officers of ours have personally guaranteed this line of
credit facility. This line is subject to annual renewal and matures on July 30,
2005.
In connection with the acquisition of Heinz, we assumed a revolving credit line
facility with a commercial bank in the amount of $200,000, and the outstanding
balance was $45,000 at October 31, 2004 and bore interest at 4.75%. This line
matured on November 16, 2004. The outstanding balance was repaid and the line
was not renewed.
On November 16, 2004, we sold an aggregate of $10,000,000 of the Company's
common stock ("Common Stock") and common stock purchase warrants ("Warrants") to
eight investors. We sold an aggregate of 25,000,000 shares of Common Stock and
25,000,000 Warrants to the investors. The Common Stock and the Warrants were
issued in a private placement transaction pursuant to Section 4(2) under the
Securities Act of 1933. Pursuant to the terms of sale, the Company agreed to
cause a resale registration statement covering the Common Stock and the Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants to be filed no later than 45 days
after the closing.
Each Warrant is exercisable for a period of five years at a price of $0.70 per
share, subject to certain adjustments. The exercise price of the Warrants is
subject to adjustment for subsequent lower price issuances by the Company, as
well as customary adjustment provisions for stock splits, combinations,
dividends and the like. At any time after the registration statement is
effective, the Warrants are callable by the Company, upon 30 days notice, should
the Common Stock trade at or above $2.10 for 25 out of 30 consecutive trading
days. A maximum of 20% of the Warrants may be called in any three-month period.
In connection with sale of the Common Stock and Warrants, the Company will
effectuate a one-for-twelve reverse split of its outstanding Common Stock on or
about January 9, 2005. The Company also agreed to seek listing of its equity on
the NASDAQ Small Cap Stock Market.
On November 24, 2004, the Company completed the acquisition of Quality
Communications & Alarm Company, Inc. ("Quality") of Lakewood, New Jersey, for
$6.7 million in cash, subject to adjustment. Upon completion of a formal
purchase price allocation, the amounts assigned to tangible assets, other
intangible assets and goodwill will be determined. The acquisition of Quality
gives the Company additional project engineering expertise for wireless
infrastructure service opportunities, broadens its customer base especially in
the public safety sector and gaming industry, and expands its geographic
presence in the Northeast. The financing for this transaction was completed
through the issuance of the Common Stock as described above.
At October 31, 2004, we had cash and cash equivalents of $633,000, working
capital of approximately $2,526,000 and revolving lines of credit available of
$522,000. With the additional capital resources raised from the issuance of the
Common Stock, and internally available funds, we believe that we have sufficient
capital to meet our needs through October 31, 2005. 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 controllable costs
effectively. To the extent we grow by future acquisitions that involve
consideration other than stock, our cash requirements may increase. We also
anticipate obtaining a debt facility for the Company prior to October 31, 2005,
to assist with working capital needs as the business and customer base expands.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
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 its financial condition and results of operations, we
view certain of these policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical
are those policies that have the most significant impact on our consolidated
financial statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment
and estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
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 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 estimation of percentage of
completion on uncompleted contracts, valuation of inventory, allowance for
doubtful accounts and estimated life of customer lists. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
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 in our fourth fiscal quarter 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.
27
WPCS INTERNATIONAL INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Our impairment review is based on comparing the fair value to the carrying value
of the reporting units with goodwill. The fair value of a reporting unit is
measured at the business unit level using a discounted cash flow approach that
incorporates our estimates of future revenue and costs for those business units.
Reporting units with goodwill include our Invisinet business unit, which are
operating segments within our fixed wireless reportable segment, and our Walker
Comm structured cabling reporting unit, which is a reportable segment. Our
estimates are consistent with the plans and estimates that we are using to
manage the underlying businesses. If we fail to deliver products and services
for these business units, or market conditions for these businesses fail to
improve, our revenue and cost forecasts may not be achieved and we may incur
charges for goodwill impairment, which could be significant and could have a
material adverse effect on our net equity and results of operations.
Revenue recognition
We generate our revenue by providing project engineering and installation
services for specialty communication systems, including wireless fidelity (WiFi)
and fixed wireless deployment. We provide a range of specialty communication
services including project management, site design, structured cabling, product
integration, network security and technical support. These projects may require
the integration of multiple communication components and engineering services in
order to complete the project.
We record profits on these projects on a percentage-of-completion basis on the
cost-to-cost method. Contracts in process are valued at cost plus accrued
profits less earned revenue and progress payments on uncompleted contracts.
Contracts are generally considered substantially complete when engineering is
completed and/or site construction is completed. We include in operations
pass-through revenue and costs on cost-plus contracts, which are
customer-reimbursable materials, equipment and subcontractor costs, when we
determine that it is responsible for the engineering specification, procurement
and management of such cost components on behalf of the customer.
We have numerous contracts that are in various stages of completion. Such
contracts require estimates to determine the appropriate cost and revenue
recognition. We have a history of making reasonably dependable estimates of the
extent of progress towards completion, contract revenue and contract costs.
However, 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.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 150,
"Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both
Liabilities and Equity." SFAS No. 150 changes the accounting for certain
financial instruments that, under previous guidance, issuers could account for
as equity. The new statement requires that those instruments be classified as
liabilities in statements of financial position. Most of the guidance in SFAS
No. 150 is effective for all financial instruments entered into or modified
after May 31, 2003. The adoption of this statement did not have a material
impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
