Explanatory Note

WPCS International Incorporated (the “Company”) has restated its consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005 on Form 10-KSB/A, and the interim periods ended January 31, 2005, July 31, 2005 and October 31, 2005 on Forms 10-QSB/A.

As previously disclosed, on November 16, 2004, the Company completed a private placement with certain investors for an aggregate of 2,083,887 shares of its common stock and 2,083,887 common stock purchase warrants for $10,000,000. Under the terms of the sale, the investors were granted certain registration rights in which the Company agreed to timely file a registration statement to register the common shares and the shares underlying the warrants, obtain effectiveness of the registration statement by the SEC within ninety (90) days of November 16, 2004, and maintain the effectiveness of this registration statement for a preset time thereafter. In the event the Company fails to timely perform under the registration rights agreement, the Company agrees to pay the investors liquidated damages in an amount equal to 1.5% of the aggregate amount invested by the investors for each 30-day period or pro rata for any portion thereof following the date by which the registration statement should have been effective. The initial registration statement was filed and declared effective by the SEC within the allowed time and the Company has maintained the effectiveness of the registration statement to date, and has not been required to pay any liquidated damages in connection with the filing or on-going effectiveness of the registration statement.

The Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") is currently reviewing the accounting for securities with liquidated damages clauses as stated in EITF 05-04, "The Effect of a Liquidated Damages Clause on a Freestanding Financial Instrument Subject to EITF 00-19." There are currently several views as to how to account for this type of transaction and the EITF has not yet reached a consensus. In accordance with EITF 00-19, "Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed To, and Potentially Settled in the Company's Own Stock," and EITF 05-04, because the maximum potential liquidated damages for failure to maintain an effective registration statement is greater than the difference between the fair value of registered and unregistered shares, the value of the common stock subject to such registration rights should be classified as temporary equity. Additionally, in accordance with EITF 00-19 and the terms of the above warrants, the fair value of the warrants should be recorded as a liability, with an offsetting reduction to shareholders’ equity. The warrant liability is initially measured at fair value using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as non-cash charges or credits to earnings.

The SEC recently announced its preferred interpretation of the accounting for common stock and warrants with registration rights under EITF 00-19. The SEC concluded that for agreements containing registration rights where significant liquidated damages could be required to be paid to the holder of the instrument in the event the issuer fails to maintain the effectiveness of a registration statement for a preset time period, the common stock subject to such liquidated damages does not meet the tests required for shareholders’ equity classification, and accordingly must be reflected between liabilities and shareholders’ equity in the balance sheet until  the conditions are eliminated. In analyzing instruments under EITF 00-19, the SEC concluded that the likelihood or probability related to the failure to maintain an effective registration statement is not a factor.

Historically, the Company classified the common stock and warrants with registration rights described above as shareholders' equity, as it believed these securities met the requirements necessary to record them as shareholders’ equity. After further review in accordance with the SEC’s recent preferred interpretation of EITF 00-19 as it relates to these common shares and warrants subject to registration rights, the Company has concluded that its financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2005, and interim periods ended January 31, 2005, July 31, 2005, and October 31, 2005, will be restated. The restatement includes the reclassification of common stock subject to registration rights from shareholders’ equity and into temporary equity, and the reclassification of the liability for the fair value of the warrants out of shareholders' equity and into warrant liability as of the closing date (November 16, 2004).

Based on the above determination, as of April 30, 2005, the Company reclassified $5,732,116 of common stock subject to registration from shareholders’ equity and into temporary equity. In addition, the Company measured the initial fair value of the warrants on the closing date at $3,408,833 and reclassified the fair value of the warrants from shareholders’ equity and into warrant liability. At the end of each reporting period, the value of the warrants is re-measured based on the fair value of the underlying shares, and changes to the warrant liability and related “gain or loss in fair value of the warrants” is recorded  as a non-cash charge or credit to earnings. The warrant liability will be reclassified to shareholders’ equity when the Company is no longer subject to performance under the registration rights agreement.

At April 30, 2005, the warrant liability was $1,994,570, due to changes in the fair value of the warrants. The fair value of the warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, with the following assumptions for the year ended April 30, 2005: risk-free interest rate of 3.91% to 3.96%, dividend yield of 0%, expected life of 6.54 to 7 years and volatility range of 28.4% to 42.1% were used.
 

 
2

 
For the year ended April 30, 2005, the non-cash gain on fair value of warrants was $1,414,263. The gain on fair value of warrants is due principally to the decrease in the market value of the common stock of the Company. The non-cash gain on fair value of warrants has no effect on the Company’s cash flows or liquidity.

This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-KSB/A ( the “Form 10-KSB/A”) to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005, initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ( the “SEC”) on July 29, 2005, is being filed to reflect restatements of the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet as of April 30, 2005, and the related Consolidated Statements of Operations, Shareholders’ Equity and Cash Flows for the year  ended April 30, 2005. For a more detailed description of these restatements, see Note 2, “Restatement for Equity Issued with Registration Rights”.

For the convenience of the reader, this Form 10-KSB/A sets forth the original Form 10-KSB in its entirety. However, this Form 10-KSB/A only amends and restates Items 6 and 7, in each case as a result of, and to reflect, the restatement. No other information in the original Form 10-KSB is amended hereby. In addition, pursuant to the rules of the SEC, the original Form 10-KSB has been amended to contain currently dated certifications from the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as required by Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Description of the Business

Overview

WPCS International Incorporated is an engineering company that focuses on the implementation requirements of wireless technology and specialty communication systems. We provide a range of services including site design, product integration, security, structured cabling, construction and project management. These projects may require the integration of multiple communication components and engineering services in order to complete the customer’s requirements for the deployment of a wireless or specialty communication system. We have an extensive customer base that includes many major corporations, government entities and educational institutions in two segments.

On May 17, 2002, pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger, Phoenix Star Ventures Inc., a publicly held Delaware corporation, through its wholly owned subsidiary WPCS Acquisition Corp., acquired WPCS Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation by issuing shares of its common stock to shareholders of WPCS Holdings, Inc. in exchange of all the outstanding shares of WPCS Holdings, Inc. Concurrently with the acquisition, Phoenix Star Ventures Inc. changed its name to WPCS International Incorporated.

Historically, we have grown by acquisition and have integrated five acquisitions to-date. As a result of the acquisitions of Invisinet, Inc. on November 13, 2002 and Walker Comm, Inc. on December 30, 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. on August 22, 2003 and Quality Communications & Alarm Company on November 24, 2004, we experienced additional expansion of the specialty communication segment. With the acquisition of Heinz on April 2, 2004, we experienced additional expansion of the wireless infrastructure segment.

Fiscal 2005 Developments

Financing

On November 16, 2004, we sold an aggregate of 2,083,887 shares of common stock and 2,083,887 common stock purchase warrants to eight investors for $10,000,000. The common stock and 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, we filed a resale registration statement on December 30, 2004 covering the common stock and the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 18, 2005.

Each warrant is exercisable for a period of five years at a price of $8.40 per share, subject to certain adjustments. The exercise price of the warrants is subject to adjustment for subsequent lower price issuances by us, as well as customary adjustment provisions for stock splits, combinations, dividends and the like. The warrants are callable by us, upon 30 days notice, should the common stock trade at or above $25.20 for 25 out of 30 consecutive trading days. A maximum of 20% of the warrants may be called in any three-month period.

Acquisitions

On November 24, 2004, we acquired Quality Communications & Alarm Company, Inc. (“Quality”), a New Jersey corporation, for aggregate consideration of approximately $7,400,000 in cash, net of acquisition transaction costs. The acquisition of Quality gives us additional project engineering expertise for specialty communication opportunities, broadens our customer base especially in the public safety and gaming sector, and expands our geographic presence in the Northeastern United States. The financing for this transaction was completed through the issuance of the common stock described above.

Reverse Stock Split

Effective January 10, 2005, a majority of our shareholders approved a one-for-twelve reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, decreasing the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock from 20,849,976 shares to 1,737,498 shares. The par value of the common stock was not affected by the reverse stock split and remains at $0.0001 per share. Consequently, the reverse stock split has been reflected retroactively in the accompanying annual report on Form 10-KSB/A, financial statements and notes for all periods presented and all applicable references as to the number of common shares and per share information, stock options, warrants and market prices have been restated to reflect this reverse stock split.

Exchange Listing

Effective March 28, 2005, we began trading on the Nasdaq SmallCap Stock Market. Our common stock is traded under the symbol “WPCS.”

Our Business

We generate our revenue by providing engineering services that focus on wireless technology and specialty communication systems. We have two reportable segments, specialty communication systems and wireless infrastructure services.

Specialty Communication Systems

WPCS is a complete project engineering company with design and build capabilities. We have certified engineers and project managers that are capable of providing services that take advantage of today’s technology while looking forward to tomorrow’s emerging technologies. We have designed and implemented unique specialty communication systems for public safety, healthcare, homeland security, hospitality services and gaming applications that have improved not only communication capability, but also the customer’s productivity. WPCS maintains a union and non-union workforce that is trained and certified in OSHA safety parameters and all regulations pertaining to communications deployment. We are also equipped to offer the following standard services: wireless distribution systems, RCDD design, network integration, video security, fiber optic cabling, telecommunication systems, audio/visual systems, construction and trenching.

5



Wireless Infrastructure Services

Wireless infrastructure services include the internal and external design and installation of a wireless solution to support data, voice or video transmission between two or more points without the utilization of landline infrastructure. Wireless infrastructure services includes radio frequency engineering, site survey and design to determine terrain status and where mounting and alignment will occur and spectrum analysis to study the performance of licensed and unlicensed frequencies for a specific area. Also, we mount and align equipment and integrate the products into one system, and finally test, document and support the installation. We also provide network security, training and technical support.

Sales and Marketing and Internal Growth

In both segments, we primarily service major corporations, government entities and educational institutions in the United States. We also perform limited services internationally, which account for less than 1% of total sales. We market and sell services through a direct sales team of sales and project engineering professionals. Sales personnel work collaboratively with senior management, project managers and project engineers to develop new sales leads and procure new contracts. We generate revenue opportunities through formal bid responses, end user referrals, contracting assignments from technology providers and subcontracting assignments from general infrastructure providers. We also, through our subsidiaries, are listed on the Federal GSA schedule for government contracts.

Customers
 
We provide specialty communication systems and wireless infrastructure services to many major corporations, government entities and educational institutions. We had revenue to one customer totaling $6.2 million, which comprised 15.5% of our total revenue. At April 30, 2005, we had a backlog of unfilled orders believed to be firm of approximately $14.6 million, representing the uncompleted portion of services to be performed under job-specific contracts or purchase orders. We expect these projects to be completed and the backlog fully converted to revenue within the next eight months.

Competition

The markets in the specialty communication systems and wireless infrastructure services segments are relatively competitive and fragmented and are represented typically by numerous service providers, ranging from small independent firms servicing local markets to larger firms servicing regional and national markets. We also face competition from existing or prospective clients which employ in-house personnel to perform some of the same types of services we provide. Historically, there have been relatively few significant barriers to entry into the markets in which we operate, and, as a result, any organization that has adequate financial resources and access to technical expertise may become one of our competitors. Overall, we believe that there are no dominant competitors in either of the segments that we provide products and services.

We believe that the principal competitive factors in our markets include the ability to deliver results within budget (time and cost), reputation, accountability, staffing flexibility, project management expertise, industry experience and competitive pricing. In addition, expertise in new and evolving technologies has become increasingly important. We believe that the ability to integrate these technologies from multiple vendors gives us a competitive advantage. Our ability to compete also depends on a number of additional factors which are outside of our control, including:
 
 
 
 
competitive pricing for similar services;
 
 
 
 
the ability and willingness of our competitors to finance customers’ projects on favorable terms;
 
 
 
 
the ability of our customers to perform the services themselves; and
 
 
 
 
the responsiveness of our competitors to customer needs.

We believe that our principal competitive advantage is the ability to integrate multiple component products and services across the vast majority of wireless infrastructure services and specialty communication systems. We have a trained and certified staff, our local presence combined with the ability to provide national coverage, and a strong customer base. We use proven methodologies to rapidly design, install, integrate and manage communications deployments.

6


 
Acquisition Strategy

In the future, our primary goal is to focus on organic growth opportunities. We will also consider strategic acquisitions of companies familiar with specialty communication systems and wireless infrastructure services. The goal for each acquisition will be to expand the product and services offerings, strengthen our project services capabilities, expand our customer base and add accretive revenue and earnings. In this regard, we completed the acquisition of Quality in November 2004.

Employees

As of April 30, 2005, we employed 200 full time employees, of whom 135 are project engineers, 25 are project managers, 35 are in administration and 5 are executives. A majority of the project engineers are represented by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. We also have non-union employees. We believe our relations with all of our employees are good. The Company has approximately 110 union employees. A contract with these union employees expires November 30, 2008.

Risk Related to Business

You should carefully consider the following risk factors and all other information contained herein as well as the information included in this Annual Report in evaluating our business and prospects. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties, other than those we describe below, that are not presently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial, may also impair our business operations. If any of the following risks occur, our business and financial results could be harmed. You should refer to the other information contained in this Annual Report, including our consolidated financial statements and the related notes.

We have a history of operating losses and may never become profitable.

Although we achieved net income of approximately $1,329,000 for the year ended April 30, 2005, there can be no assurance that we will achieve or sustain profitability or positive cash flow from operating activities in the future. If we cannot achieve operating profitability or positive cash flow from operating activities, we may not be able to meet our working capital requirements. If we are unable to meet our working capital requirements, we are likely to reduce or cease all or part of our operations.

We may be unable to obtain the additional capital required to grow our business. We may have to curtail our business if we cannot find adequate funding.

Our ability to grow depends significantly on our ability to expand our operations through internal growth and by acquiring other companies or assets that require significant capital resources. We may need to seek additional capital from public or private equity or debt sources to fund our growth and operating plans and respond to other contingencies such as:

 
·
shortfalls in anticipated revenues or increases in expenses;
 
·
the development of new services; or
 
·
the expansion of our operations, including the recruitment of additional personnel.

We cannot be certain that we will be able to raise additional capital in the future on terms acceptable to us or at all. If alternative sources of financing are insufficient or unavailable, we may be required to modify our growth and operating plans in accordance with the extent of available financing.

Our success is dependent on growth in the deployment of wireless networks, and to the extent that such growth slows down, our business may be harmed.

The wireless industry has historically experienced a dramatic rate of growth both in the United States and internationally. Recently, however, many end users have been re-evaluating their network deployment plans in response to downturns in the capital markets, changing perceptions regarding industry growth, the adoption of new wireless technologies, increased price competition and a general economic slowdown in the United States and internationally. It is difficult to predict whether these changes will result in a downturn in the wireless industry. If the rate of growth should slow down and end users continue to reduce their capital investments in wireless infrastructure or fail to expand their networks, our operating results may decline which could cause a decline in our profits.

7



The uncertainty associated with rapidly changing wireless technologies may also continue to negatively impact the rate of deployment of wireless networks and the demand for our services. End users face significant challenges in assessing their bandwidth demands and in acceptance of rapidly changing enhanced wireless capabilities. If end users continue to perceive that the rate of acceptance of next generation wireless products will grow more slowly than previously expected, they may, as a result, continue to slow their deployment of next generation wireless technologies. Any significant slowdown will reduce the demand for our services and would result in negative net growth, net losses, and potentially a reduction in our business operations.

The increase of services offered by equipment vendors could cause a reduction in demand for our services.

Recently, the wireless equipment vendors have increased the services they offer for their technology. This activity and the potential continuing trend towards offering services may lead to a greater ability among equipment vendors to provide a comprehensive range of wireless services, and may simplify integration and installation, which could lead to a reduction in demand for our services. Moreover, by offering certain services to end users, equipment vendors could reduce the number of our current or potential customers and increase the bargaining power of our remaining customers, which may result in a decline in our net revenue and profits.

Our quarterly results fluctuate and may cause our stock price to decline.

Our quarterly operating results have fluctuated in the past and will likely fluctuate in the future. As a result, we believe that period to period comparisons of our results of operations are not a good indication of our future performance. A number of factors, many of which are outside of our control, are likely to cause these fluctuations.
       
   The factors outside of our control include:
 
 
§
Wireless market conditions and economic conditions generally;
 
§
Timing and volume of customers’ specialty communication projects;
 
§
The timing and size of wireless deployments by end users;
 
§
Fluctuations in demand for our services;
 
§
Changes in our mix of customers’ projects and business activities;
 
§
The length of sales cycles;
 
§
Adverse weather conditions, particularly during the winter season, could effect our ability to render specialty communication services in certain regions of the United States;
 
§
The ability of certain customers to sustain capital resources to pay their trade accounts receivable balances;
 
§
Reductions in the prices of services offered by our competitors; and
 
§
Costs of integrating technologies or businesses that we add.
 
    The factors substantially within our control include:
 
 
§
Changes in the actual and estimated costs and time to complete fixed-price, time-certain projects that may result in revenue adjustments for contracts where revenue is recognized under the percentage of completion method;
 
§
The timing of expansion into new markets, both domestically and internationally;
 
§
Costs incurred to support internal growth and acquisitions;
 
§
Fluctuations in operating results caused by acquisitions; and
 
§
The timing and payments associated with possible acquisitions.

Because our operating results may vary significantly from quarter to quarter, our operating results may not meet the expectations of securities analysts and investors, and our common stock could decline significantly which may expose us to risks of securities litigation, impair our ability to attract and retain qualified individuals using equity incentives and make it more difficult to complete acquisitions using equity as consideration.

Failure to keep pace with the latest technological changes could result in decreased revenues.

The market for our services is characterized by rapid change and technological improvements. Failure to respond in a timely and cost-effective way to these technological developments could result in serious harm to our business and operating results. We have derived, and we expect to continue to derive, a substantial portion of our revenues from creating wireless networks that are based upon today’s leading technologies and that are capable of adapting to future technologies. As a result, our success will depend, in part, on our ability to develop and market service offerings that respond in a timely manner to the technological advances of our customers, evolving industry standards and changing client preferences.
 
 
8

Failure to properly manage projects may result in costs or claims.

Our engagements often involve large scale, highly complex projects involving wireless networks and specialty communication systems utilizing leading technology. The quality of our performance on such projects depends in large part upon our ability to manage the relationship with our customers, and to effectively manage the project and deploy appropriate resources, including third-party contractors, and our own personnel, in a timely manner. Any defects or errors or failure to meet clients’ expectations could result in claims for substantial damages against us. Our contracts generally limit our liability for damages that arise from negligent acts, error, mistakes or omissions in rendering services to our clients. However, we cannot be sure that these contractual provisions will protect us from liability for damages in the event we are sued.  In addition, in certain instances, we guarantee customers that we will complete a project by a scheduled date or that the network will achieve certain performance standards. As a result, we often have to make judgments concerning time and labor costs. If the project or network experiences a performance problem, we may not be able to recover the additional costs we will incur, which could exceed revenues realized from a project. Finally, if we miscalculate the resources or time we need to complete a project with capped or fixed fees, our operating results could seriously decline.

Potential future acquisitions could be difficult to integrate, disrupt our business, dilute stockholder value and adversely affect our operating results.

Since November 13, 2002, we have acquired five companies and we intend to further expand our operations through targeted, strategic acquisitions over time. This may require significant management time and financial resources because we may need to integrate widely dispersed operations with distinct corporate cultures. Our failure to manage future acquisitions successfully could seriously harm our operating results. Also, acquisition costs could cause our quarterly operating results to vary significantly. Furthermore, our stockholders would be diluted if we financed the acquisitions by incurring convertible debt or issuing securities. Although we currently only have operations within the United States, if we were to acquire an international operation; we will face additional risks, including:
 
 
difficulties in staffing, managing and integrating international operations due to language, cultural or other differences;
 
different or conflicting regulatory or legal requirements;
 
foreign currency fluctuations; and
 
diversion of significant time and attention of our management.

ITEM 2 - DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES

Our principal executive offices are located in approximately 2,550 square feet of office space in Exton, Pennsylvania. The lease for such space expires in February 2008. The aggregate annual base rental for this space is $48,769.

Dividend Policy

We have never paid any cash dividends on our capital stock and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain future earnings to fund ongoing operations and future capital requirements of our business. Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of the Board and will be dependent upon our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and such other factors as the Board deems relevant.


ITEM 6 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

Overview

WPCS International Incorporated is an engineering company that focuses on the implementation requirements of wireless technology and specialty communication systems. We provide 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 30, 2002, we experienced significant growth in our overall business and commenced operations in two segments, specialty communication systems and wireless infrastructure services. With the acquisitions of Clayborn Contracting Group, Inc. and Heinz Corporation in fiscal 2004 and Quality Communications & Alarm Company in fiscal 2005, we experienced additional growth in each of these segments.

Significant Transactions and Events

On August 22, 2003, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of Clayborn in exchange for an aggregate of 68,871 newly issued shares of our 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, as defined, of Clayborn and a final payment of any remaining balance on that date.

11



On April 2, 2004, we acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Heinz for $1,000,000, as follows: (1) $700,000 of our common stock, based on the closing price of its common stock on March 30, 2004 of $11.76 per share, for an aggregate of 59,524 newly issued shares of our 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 was paid in April 2005, $75,000 is payable on the second anniversary of the closing date and $50,000 is payable on the third anniversary of the closing date.

On November 16, 2004, we sold an aggregate of 2,083,887 shares of our common stock and 2,083,887 common stock purchase warrants to eight investors for $10,000,000. The common stock and the warrants were issued in a private placement transaction pursuant to Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933.

On November 24, 2004, we acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Quality for aggregate consideration of approximately $7,400,000 in cash, net of acquisition transaction costs. The acquisition of Quality gives us additional project engineering expertise for specialty communication opportunities, broadens our customer base especially in the public safety and gaming sector, and expands our geographic presence in the Northeastern United States.

Effective January 10, 2005, a majority of our shareholders approved a one-for-twelve reverse stock split of our common stock, decreasing the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock from 20,849,976 shares to 1,737,498 shares. The par value of the common stock was not affected by the reverse stock split and remains at $0.0001 per share. Consequently, the reverse stock split has been reflected retroactively in the accompanying financial statements and notes for all periods presented and all applicable references as to the number of common shares and per share information, stock options, warrants and market prices have been restated to reflect this reverse stock split.

On March 28, 2005, we began trading on the Nasdaq SmallCap Stock Market. Our Common Stock is traded under the symbol “WPCS.”

Results of Operations

Management currently considers the following events, trends and uncertainties to be important to understand its results of operations and financial condition:

 
·
For the years ended April 30, 2005 and 2004, revenue was approximately $40,100,000 and $22,100,000, respectively. The increase in revenue was attributable to organic growth expansion of our customer base and new contract awards of approximately $7,600,000 and strategic acquisitions of approximately $10,400,000.

 
·
We operate in two segments, specialty communication systems and wireless infrastructure services. With the acquisition of Clayborn in the second quarter of fiscal 2004 and Quality in the third quarter of fiscal 2005, we experienced additional expansion of the specialty communication segment. With the acquisition of Heinz in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004, we experienced additional expansion of the wireless infrastructure segment.

 
·
For the years ended April 30, 2005 and 2004, the specialty communication segment represents approximately 79% of total revenue, and wireless infrastructure services represent approximately 21% of total revenue.
 
 
·
Our primary goal is to focus on organic growth opportunities. We will also consider strategic acquisitions of companies familiar with wireless infrastructure and specialty communication systems. The goal for any future acquisition will be to expand the product and service offerings, to strengthen our project services capabilities, expand our customer base and add accretive revenue and earnings.

 
·
As of April 30, 2005, our backlog is approximately $14,600,000. 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.

 
·
Our selling, general and administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of revenue for the year ended April 30, 2005, as compared to the prior year.

12



 
·
In connection with sales of our common stock and warrants to certain investors during the third fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2005, we granted certain registration rights that provide for liquidated damages in the event of failure to timely perform under the agreements. The SEC recently announced its preferred interpretation of the accounting for common stock and warrants with registration rights under EITF 00-19. The SEC concluded that for agreements containing registration rights where significant liquidated damages could be required to be paid to the holder of the instrument in the event the issuer fails to maintain the effectiveness of a registration statement for a preset time period, the common stock subject to such liquidated damages does not meet the tests required for shareholders' equity classification, and accordingly must be been reflected as temporary equity in the  consolidated balance sheet until the conditions are eliminated. In analyzing instruments under EITF 00-19, the SEC concluded that the likelihood or probability related to the failure to maintain an effective registration statement is not a factor.

Historically, we classified the common stock and warrants with registration rights described above as shareholders’ equity, as we believed these securities met the requirements necessary to record them as shareholders’ equity. After further review in accordance with the SEC’s recent preferred interpretation of EITF 00-19 as it relates to these common shares and warrants subject to registration rights, we have  concluded that our financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2005, and interim periods ended January 31, 2005, July 31, 2005, and October 31, 2005, will be restated. The restatement includes the reclassification of common stock subject to registration rights from shareholders’ equity and into temporary equity, and the reclassification of the liability for the fair value of the warrants from shareholders’ equity and into warrant liability as of the closing date (November 16, 2004).

Based on the above determination, as of April 30, 2005, we reclassified $5,732,116 of common stock subject to registration from shareholders’ equity and into temporary equity. In addition, we measured the initial fair value of the warrants on the closing date at $3,408,833 and reclassified the fair value of the warrants from shareholders’ equity and into warrant liability. At the end of each reporting period, the value of the warrants is re-measured based on the fair value of the underlying shares, and changes to the warrant liability and related “gain or loss in fair value of the warrants” is recorded  as a non-cash charge or credit to earnings. The warrant liability will be reclassified to shareholders’ equity when we are  no longer subject to performance under the registration rights agreement.

At April 30, 2005, the warrant liability was $1,994,570, due to changes in the fair value of the warrants. The fair value of the warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, with the following assumptions for the year ended April 30, 2005: risk-free interest rate of 3.91% to 3.96%, dividend yield of 0%, expected life of 6.54 to 7 years and volatility range of 28.4% to 42.1% were used.

For the year ended April 30, 2005, the non-cash gain on fair value of warrants was $1,414,263. The gain on fair value of warrants is due principally to the decrease in the market value of our  common stock . The non-cash gain on fair value of warrants has no effect on our cash flows or liquidity.

Revenue

We generate our revenue by providing project engineering and deployment services for wireless infrastructure services and specialty communication systems. We provide a range of engineering services including site design, construction, product integration, structured cabling, network security, project management and technical support.

Revenue for the year ended April 30, 2005 was approximately $40,148,000, as compared to $22,076,000 for the prior year. The increase in revenue was attributable to organic growth expansion of our customer base and new contract awards of approximately $7,600,000 from Walker and Clayborn, and approximately $10,400,000 from the acquisitions of Heinz and Quality.

Total revenue from the specialty communication segment for the years ended April 30, 2005 and 2004 was approximately $31,497,000 or 78.5% and $17,508,000 or 79.3% of total revenue, respectively. Wireless infrastructure segment revenue for the years ended April 30, 2005 and 2004 was approximately $8,651,000 or 21.5% and $4,568,000 or 20.7% of total revenue, respectively.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue consists of direct costs on contracts, including materials, direct labor, third party subcontractor services, Walker union benefits and other overhead costs. Our cost of revenue was approximately $32,445,000 or 80.8% of revenue for the year ended April 30, 2005, compared to $17,286,000 or 78.3% for the prior year. The dollar increase in our total cost of revenue is due to the corresponding increase in revenue during the year ended April 30, 2005 as a result of organic growth in revenue from Walker and Clayborn and the acquisitions of Clayborn, Heinz and Quality,. In addition, the increase in total cost of revenue is due to an increase in costs incurred on certain Walker contracts that were recognized during the year of approximately $1,200,000. In direct response to these additional costs, we have made certain personnel changes and initiated additional project management training. The increase in cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue is due primarily to an increase in costs incurred on certain Walker contracts, offset by the revenue mix attributable to the acquisitions of Heinz and Quality.

14

The specialty communication segment cost of revenue and cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue for the years ended April 30, 2005 and 2004 was approximately $25,919,000 and 82.3% and $13,831,000 and 79.0%, respectively. As discussed above, the dollar increase in our total cost of revenue is due to the corresponding increase in revenue during the year ended April 30, 2005 as a result of organic growth in revenue from Walker and Clayborn, and the acquisitions of Clayborn and Quality. In addition, the increase in total cost of revenue is due to an increase in costs incurred on certain Walker contracts that were recognized during the year of approximately $1,200,000. The increase in cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue is due to an increase in the costs incurred on certain Walker contracts recognized during the period, partially offset by lower cost of revenue on revenues attributable to the Quality acquisition.

Wireless infrastructure segment cost of revenue and cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue for the years ended April 30, 2005 and 2004 was approximately $6,526,000 and 75.4% and $3,455,000 and 75.6%, respectively. The dollar increase in our total cost of revenue is due to the corresponding increase in revenue during the year ended April 30, 2005 as a result of the acquisition of Heinz. The decrease in cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue is due to the revenue mix attributable to the acquisition of Heinz.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

For the year ended April 30, 2005, total selling, general and administrative expenses were $7,029,000, or 17.5% of total revenue compared to $4,442,000 or 20.1% of revenue for 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 year ended April 30, 2005 are $3,656,000 for salaries, commissions, and payroll taxes. The increase in salaries and payroll taxes compared to the prior year is due to the increase in headcount as a result of the acquisitions of Clayborn, Heinz and Quality. Professional fees were $537,000, which include accounting, legal and investor relation fees. Insurance costs were $1,164,000 and rent for office facilities was $358,000. Automobile and other travel expenses were $422,000 and telecommunication expenses were $196,000. Other selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $696,000. For the year ended April 30, 2005, total selling, general and administrative expenses for the specialty communication and wireless infrastructure segments were $4,658,000 and $1,180,000, respectively.

For the year ended April 30, 2004, selling, general and administrative expenses were $4,442,000 or 20.1% of revenue. Included in the selling, general and administrative expenses was $2,100,000 for salaries, commissions and payroll taxes, $566,000 in professional fees and insurance costs of $730,000. Rent for our office facilities amounted to $250,000. Automobile and other travel expenses were $259,000 and telecommunication expenses were $133,000. Other selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $404,000. For the year ended April 30, 2004, total selling, general and administrative expenses for the specialty communication and wireless infrastructure segments were $2,805,000 and $712,000, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization

For the years ended April 30, 2005 and 2004, depreciation was approximately $372,000 and $228,000, respectively. The increase in depreciation is due to the acquisition of fixed assets from acquiring Clayborn, Heinz, and Quality. The amortization of customer lists and backlog for the year ended April 30, 2005 was $310,000 as compared to $154,000 for the same period of the prior year. The increase in amortization is due to the acquisition of customer lists from Clayborn, Heinz and Quality, and backlog from Heinz. All customer lists are amortized over a period of five to six years from the date of their acquisition. Backlog is amortized over a period of one year from the date of acquisition.

Gain on Fair Value of Warrants

Gain on fair value of warrants for the year ended April 30, 2005 was approximately $1,414,000. The gain is due principally to the decrease in the market value of our common stock. The gain represents the unrealized non-cash change in the fair value of certain warrants, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The non-cash gain on fair value of warrants has no impact on our cash flows or liquidity.

Net income (loss)

Net income was approximately $1,329,000 for the year ended April 30, 2005. Net income included federal and state income tax provisions of approximately $52,000. The variation in effective tax rates between periods is primarily due to the Clayborn and Heinz acquisitions and certain book-to-tax permanent differences.

We incurred a net loss of approximately $124,000 for the year ended April 30, 2004.


15

Liquidity and capital resources

At April 30, 2005, we had working capital of approximately $5,145,000, which consisted of current assets of approximately $13,339,000 and current liabilities of $8,194,000.
 
Operating activities used $2,682,000 in cash during the year ended April 30, 2005. This was mainly comprised of $1,329,000 of net income less $813,000 in net non-cash charges, a $1,899,000 increase in accounts receivable, a $1,214,000 decrease in costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts, a $537,000 increase in inventory, $337,000 decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses, $1,147,000 decrease in billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts payable, $329,000 decrease in income taxes payable and a $163,000 net increase in other assets.

Our investing activities utilized $7,025,000 in cash during the year ended April 30, 2005, which consisted of $216,000 paid for property and equipment, $6,709,000 for the acquisition of Quality, net of cash acquired of $164,000, $82,000 for the acquisition of Heinz and $18,000 of acquisition earn-out payments and other acquisition transaction costs.

Our financing activities provided cash of $8,711,000 during the year ended April 30, 2005. Financing activities included net proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $9,114,000, repayments on lines of credit of $304,000, and repayments of equipment loans and capital lease obligations of approximately $99,000.

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. On June 3, 2005, we entered into a credit agreement with a new commercial bank. The credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement"), provides for a revolving line of credit in an amount not to exceed $5,000,000, together with a letter of credit facility not to exceed $500,000. We also entered into security agreements, pursuant to which each subsidiary granted a security interest to the bank in all of their assets.

Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, we are permitted to borrow up to $3,000,000 under the revolving credit line, based upon eligible receivables. Once we have provided financial statements which evidence that we have earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of (i) $750,000 for the quarter ended July 31, 2005, (ii) $750,000 for the quarter ended October 31, 2005, and (iii) $2,500,000 for the year ended April 30, 2006, the revolving commitment amount will be increased to $5,000,000. The Credit Agreement contains customary covenants, including but not limited to (i) restrictions on the permitted ratio of total unsubordinated liabilities to tangible net worth plus subordinated indebtedness, (ii) the Company's total tangible net worth, (iii) working capital, (iv) minimum earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and (v) dividend restrictions. The loan commitment shall expire on August 31, 2008. We may prepay the loan at any time. Loans under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate equal to either the bank’s reference rate plus one half (0.5%) percent, or LIBOR plus two and three-quarters (2.75%) percent, as we may request. We paid a facility fee to the bank of $50,000 on the closing date.

We used the initial funds provided by the loan, in the gross amount of $3,000,000, to repay existing bank debt at Walker of approximately $672,000, for the payment of approximately $742,000 to the former shareholders of our Quality subsidiary for monies due to them pursuant to the terms of the purchase of their company, and for working capital. A $500,000 letter of credit was re-issued in favor of Walker’s surety bonding company as collateral for performance and payment bond requirements.

On November 16, 2004, we sold an aggregate of 2,083,887 shares of our common stock and 2,083,887 common stock purchase warrants to eight investors for $10,000,000. 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, we filed a resale registration statement on December 30, 2004 covering the common stock and the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, which was declared effective by the SEC on January 18, 2005.

Each warrant is exercisable for a period of five years at a price of $8.40 per share, subject to certain adjustments. The exercise price of the warrants is subject to adjustment for subsequent lower price issuances, as well as customary adjustment provisions for stock splits, combinations, dividends and the like. The warrants are callable, upon 30 days notice, should the common stock trade at or above $25.20 per share 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, we effectuated a one-for-twelve reverse split of our outstanding common stock on January 10, 2005. We also completed listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq SmallCap Stock Market.

16

On November 24, 2004, we acquired Quality for the aggregate consideration of approximately $7,400,000 in cash, net of acquisition transaction costs. A formal purchase price allocation has been completed and the amounts assignable to tangible assets, other intangible assets and goodwill have been determined. The acquisition of Quality gives us additional project engineering expertise for specialty communication opportunities, broadens our customer base especially in the public safety sector and gaming industry, and expands our geographic presence in the Northeastern United States. The financing for this transaction was completed through the issuance of the common stock as described above.
 
At April 30, 2005, we had cash and cash equivalents of $989,000, working capital of approximately $5,145,000 and revolving lines of credit available of $318,000. With the additional capital resources raised from the issuance of the common stock, funds available from the recently obtained Credit Agreement and internally available funds, we believe that we have sufficient capital to meet our needs through April 30, 2006. 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.

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.

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:

Equity Issued with Registration Rights
 
In connection with sales of our common stock and warrants to certain investors during the third fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2005, the Company granted certain registration rights that provide for liquidated damages in the event of failure to timely perform under the agreements. Although the common stock purchase agreement does not provide for net-cash settlement, the existence of liquidated damages provides for a defacto net-cash settlement option. Therefore, common stock subject to such liquidated damages does not meet the tests required for shareholders’ equity classification, and accordingly has been reflected between liabilities and equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet until such time as the conditions are eliminated.
 
Warrant Liability  
 
In connection with the sale of certain equity instruments during the third fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2005, as described above, the Company issued freestanding warrants. Although the terms of the warrants do not provide for net-cash settlement, in certain circumstances, physical or net-share settlement is deemed to not be within the Company’s control and, accordingly, the Company is required to account for these freestanding warrants as a derivative financial instrument liability, rather than as shareholders’ equity.

The warrant liability is initially measured and recorded at its fair value, and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as non-cash charges or credits to earnings. For warrant-based derivative financial instruments, the Black-Scholes option pricing model is used to value the warrant liability.
 
The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
 
The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks.

17


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 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.

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. The Company determines its allowance by considering a number of factors, including the length of time trade accounts receivable are past due, the Company's previous loss history, the customer's current ability to pay its obligation to the Company, and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. The Company writes off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible, and payment 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 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. 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 performed our annual review for goodwill impairment in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 and 2004 and tested for goodwill impairment in each reporting unit that contains goodwill. Our tests found that no impairment existed. 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 revenues and costs for those business units. Reporting units with goodwill include Invisinet and Heinz within our wireless infrastructure segment and Walker, Clayborn and Quality within our specialty communications 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.

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 and credit 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.

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 project engineering and deployment services for wireless infrastructure services and specialty communication systems. We provide a range of engineering services including site design, construction, product integration, structured cabling, network security, project management and technical support.

We record revenue and profit on these contracts 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. 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 we are 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. 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.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R) (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment”, which amends FASB Statement No. 123 and will be effective for public companies that are small business insurers at the beginning of the next fiscal year that begins after December 15, 2005. The new standard will require us to expense the fair value of employee stock options and other share-based payments over the vesting period. The FASB believes the use of a binomial lattice model for option valuation is capable of more fully reflecting certain characteristics of employee share options compared to the Black-Scholes options pricing model.  The new standard may be adopted in one of three ways - the modified prospective transition method, a variation of the modified prospective transition method or the modified retrospective transition method. We are currently evaluating how we will adopt the standard and evaluating the effect that the adoption of SFAS 123(R) will have on our financial position and results of operations.

In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4. This statement amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, Inventory Pricing, to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted material (spoilage). Paragraph 5 of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, previously stated that “...under some circumstances, items such as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight, and rehandling costs may be so abnormal as to require treatment as current period charges...” SFAS No. 151 requires that those items be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of “so abnormal.” In addition, this statement requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The provisions of SFAS 151 shall be applied prospectively and are effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005, with earlier application permitted for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after the date this Statement was issued. The adoption of SFAS No. 151 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29”. The guidance in APB Opinion No. 29, “Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions”, is based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of assets exchanged. The guidance in that Opinion, however, included certain exceptions to that principle. This Statement amends Opinion 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. SFAS No. 153 is effective for nonmonetary exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS No. 153 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


The Board of Directors and Shareholders
WPCS International Incorporated

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of WPCS International Incorporated and Subsidiaries as of April 30, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

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

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of WPCS International Incorporated and Subsidiaries as of April 30, 2005 and 2004, and their consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has restated its consolidated financial statements as of April 30, 2005 and for the year then ended.

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying 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), Heinz Corporation (“Heinz”) from April 2, 2004 (date of acquisition), and Quality Communications & Alarm Company (“Quality”) from November 24, 2004 (date of acquisition), collectively the "Company". Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period financial statements to conform to the current presentation.

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, project management and technical support. 

Effective January 10, 2005, a majority of the Company’s shareholders approved a one-for-twelve reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, decreasing the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock from 20,849,976 shares to 1,737,498 shares. The par value of the common stock was not affected by the reverse stock split and remains at $0.0001 per share. Consequently, the reverse stock split has been reflected retroactively in the accompanying financial statements and notes for all periods presented and all applicable references as to the number of common shares and per share information, stock options, warrants and market prices have been restated to reflect this reverse stock split. In addition, shareholders’ equity has been restated for all periods presented for the aggregate par value of the number of common shares that were reclassified to additional paid-in capital as a result of the reverse stock split.
 
On August 22, 2003, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Clayborn in exchange for an aggregate of 68,871 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, as defined, of Clayborn and a final payment of any remaining balance on that date.

On April 2, 2004, the Company acquired all of the 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 its common stock on March 30, 2004 of $11.76 per share, for an aggregate of 59,524 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 was paid in April 2005 and $75,000 is payable on the second anniversary of the closing date and $50,000 is payable on the third anniversary of the closing date.

On November 24, 2004, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Quality. The aggregate consideration paid by the Company to the Quality selling shareholders, net of acquisition transaction costs was $7,442,295, of which $6,700,000 was paid at closing. Additional purchase price adjustments of $742,295 were paid in June 2005 to settle working capital adjustments and income tax reimbursements related to the Company electing to make an Internal Revenue Code 338 (h) (10) election. For income tax purposes, this election results in a stepped up basis of assets and liabilities and will result in future income tax deductions.

NOTE 2 - RESTATEMENT FOR EQUITY ISSUED WITH REGISTRATION RIGHTS

On November 16, 2004, the Company completed a private placement with certain investors for an aggregate of 2,083,887 shares of its common stock and 2,083,887 common stock purchase warrants for $10,000,000. Under the terms of the sale, the investors were granted certain registration rights in which the Company agreed to timely file a registration statement to register the common shares and the shares underlying the warrants, obtain effectiveness of the registration statement by the SEC within ninety (90) days of November 16, 2004, and maintain the effectiveness of this registration statement for a preset time thereafter. In the event the Company fails to timely perform under the registration rights agreement, the Company agrees to pay the investors liquidated damages in an amount equal to 1.5% of the aggregate amount invested by the investors for each 30-day period or pro rata for any portion thereof following the date by which the registration statement should have been effective. The initial registration statement was filed and declared effective by the SEC within the allowed time and the Company has maintained the effectiveness of the registration statement to date, and has not been required to pay any liquidated damages in connection with the filing or on-going effectiveness of the registration statement.

The Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") is currently reviewing the accounting for securities with liquidated damages clauses as stated in EITF 05-04, "The Effect of a Liquidated Damages Clause on a Freestanding Financial Instrument Subject to EITF 00-19." There are currently several views as to how to account for this type of transaction and the EITF has not yet reached a consensus. In accordance with EITF 00-19, "Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed To, and Potentially Settled in the Company's Own Stock," and EITF 05-04, because the maximum potential liquidated damages for failure to maintain an effective registration statement is greater than the difference between the fair value of registered and unregistered shares, the value of the common stock subject to such registration rights should be classified as temporary equity. Additionally, in accordance with EITF 00-19 and the terms of the above warrants, the fair value of the warrants should be recorded as a liability, with an offsetting reduction to shareholders’ equity. The warrant liability is initially measured at fair value using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as non-cash charges or credits to earnings.

The SEC recently announced its preferred  interpretation of the accounting for common stock and warrants with registration rights under EITF 00-19. The SEC concluded that for agreements containing registration rights where significant liquidated damages could be required to be paid to the holder of the instrument in the event the issuer fails to maintain the effectiveness of a registration statement for a preset time period, the common stock subject to such liquidated damages does not meet the tests required for shareholders’ equity classification, and accordingly must be reflected between liabilities and shareholders’ equity in the balance sheet until  the conditions are eliminated. In analyzing instruments under EITF 00-19, the SEC concluded that the likelihood or probability related to the failure to maintain an effective registration statement is not a factor.

Historically, the Company classified the common stock and warrants with registration rights described above as shareholders’ equity, as it believed these securities met the requirements necessary to record them as shareholders’ equity. After further review in accordance with the SEC’s recent preferred interpretation of EITF 00-19 as it relates to these common shares and warrants subject to registration rights, the Company has concluded that its financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2005, and interim periods ended January 31, 2005, July 31, 2005, and October 31, 2005, will be restated. The restatement includes the reclassification of common stock subject to registration rights from shareholders’ equity and into temporary equity, and the reclassification of the liability for the fair value of the warrants from shareholders’ equity and into warrant liability as of the closing date (November 16, 2004).

Based on the above determination, as of April 30, 2005, the Company reclassified $5,732,116 of common stock subject to registration from shareholders’ equity and into temporary equity. In addition, the Company measured the initial fair value of the warrants on the closing date at $3,408,833 and reclassified the fair value of the warrants from shareholders’ equity and into warrant liability. At the end of each reporting period, the value of the warrants is re-measured based on the fair value of the underlying shares, and changes to the warrant liability and related “gain or loss in fair value of the warrants” is recorded  as a non-cash charge or credit to earnings. The warrant liability will be reclassified to shareholders’ equity when the Company is no longer subject to performance under the registration rights agreement.

At April 30, 2005, the warrant liability was $1,994,570, due to changes in the fair value of the warrants. The fair value of the warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, with the following assumptions for the year ended April 30, 2005: risk-free interest rate of 3.91% to 3.96%, dividend yield of 0%, expected life of 6.54 to 7 years and volatility range of 28.4% to 42.1% were used.

For the year ended April 30, 2005, the non-cash gain on fair value of warrants was $1,414,263. The gain on fair value of warrants is due principally to the decrease in the market value of the common stock of the Company. The non-cash gain on fair value of warrants has no effect on the Company’s cash flows or liquidity.
 
NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A summary of significant accounting policies consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements follows:

Principles of Consolidation

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

Cash and Cash Equivalents

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

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. The Company reduces credit risk by placing its temporary cash and investments with major financial institutions with high credit ratings. At times, such amounts may exceed Federally insured limits. The Company reduces credit risk related to accounts receivable by routinely assessing the financial strength of its customers and maintaining an appropriate allowance for doubtful accounts based on its history of write-offs, current economic conditions and an evaluation of the credit risk related to specific customers.

F-11

WPCS INTERNATIONAL INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
 
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. The Company determines its allowance by considering a number of factors, including the length of time trade accounts receivable are past due, the Company's previous loss history, the customer's current ability to pay its obligation to the Company, and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. The Company writes off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible, and payment subsequently received on such receivables are credited to the allowance for doubtful accounts. Included in the accounts receivable is retainage receivable of $1,333,413 which is expected to be collected within one year.

Inventory

As a result of the acquisition of Quality, inventory consists of materials, parts and supplies principally valued using the first-in-first-out (FIFO) method.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided for, using straight-line methods, in amounts sufficient to charge the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated service lives. Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to operations as incurred.

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 definite 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 completed the initial step of impairment testing which indicated that no goodwill impairment existed as of April 30, 2005 and 2004. 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. The fair value of the Company’s reporting units derived using discounted cash flow models exceeded the carrying values of the reporting units. Accordingly, step two was unnecessary and no impairment was recognized in the consolidated statement of operations for the years ended April 30, 2005 and 2004. On an ongoing basis, the Company expects to perform its annual impairment test during the fourth quarter absent any interim impairment indicators.

Revenue Recognition

The Company generates its revenue by providing engineering and deployment services for wireless infrastructure services and specialty communication systems The Company provides a range of engineering services including, site design, construction, product integration, structured cabling, network security, project management and technical support.

The Company records revenue and profit on these contracts on a percentage-of-completion basis using 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. 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.

Other Concentrations

For the year ended April 30, 2005, the Company had revenue from one customer totaling approximately $6,220,000, which comprised 15.5% of total revenue. Management believes there is no significant business vulnerability regarding the concentration of revenue due to the Company’s strong relationship with this customer and the customer’s financial strength.
 
The Company has approximately 110 union employees. A contract with these union employees expires November 30, 2008.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting of Income Taxes." Under SFAS No. 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under SFAS No. 109, 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. 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.

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) 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 April 30, 2005, 188,340 stock options and 2,572,171 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 266,556 stock options resulted in a 50,337 share increase in weighted average shares for fully diluted earnings per share. At April 30, 2004, the Company had 299,322 stock options and 425,784 warrants outstanding which are potentially dilutive securities, however, basic and fully diluted EPS is the same since the effect of the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants would be antidilutive.

Stock-Based Compensation Plans

SFAS 123(R) (revised December 2004), Share-Based Payment, an amendment of SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, established accounting and disclosure requirements using a fair-value-based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation plans. As a result of the amendments to SFAS 123, the Company will be required to expense the fair value of employee stock options beginning with its fiscal year ending April 30, 2007. The new standard will require the Company to expense the fair value of employee stock options and other share-based payments over the vesting period. The FASB believes the use of a binomial lattice model for option valuation is capable of more fully reflecting certain characteristics of employee share options compared to the Black-Scholes options pricing model.  The new standard may be adopted in one of three ways - the modified prospective transition method, a variation of the modified prospective transition method or the modified retrospective transition method. We are currently evaluating how we will adopt the standard and evaluating the effect that the adoption of SFAS 123(R) will have on our financial position or results of operations.

As currently permitted by SFAS 123, the Company has elected to continue to account for its stock-based compensation plans in accordance with the intrinsic-value-based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (“APB 25”), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. Under APB 25, compensation expense is recorded on the date of grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price. The exercise price of all options granted to employees has been equal to or greater than the fair market value at the date of grant and, accordingly, the Company has not recognized compensation expense associated with its stock option plan. By making that election, the Company is required under SFAS 123 to provide pro forma disclosures of net loss and net loss per common share as if the fair value based method of accounting had been applied. The following table illustrates the effect on net loss and net loss per common share for fiscal 2005 and 2004 as if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 to stock-based compensation.

The Company applies the intrinsic value method in accounting for its stock based compensation plan. Had the Company measured compensation under the fair value method for stock options granted and amortized the cost over the related vesting period, the Company’s net loss and net loss per share attributable to common shareholders would have been as follows:

The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes Option pricing model with the following assumptions. For the year ended April 30, 2005, risk-free interest rate of 3.51% to 4.22%, dividend yield of 0%, expected life of 5 years and volatility range 28.4% to 44.9% were used. For the year ended April 30, 2004, risk-free interest rate of 2.80% to 3.61%, dividend yield of 0%, expected life of 5 years and volatility range 71.0% to 73.2% were used.

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 life of customer lists. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4. This statement amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, Inventory Pricing, to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted material (spoilage). Paragraph 5 of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, previously stated that “...under some circumstances, items such as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight, and rehandling costs may be so abnormal as to require treatment as current period charges...” SFAS No. 151 requires that those items be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of “so abnormal.” In addition, this statement requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The provisions of SFAS 151 shall be applied prospectively and are effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005, with earlier application permitted for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after the date this Statement was issued. The adoption of SFAS No. 151 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29”. The guidance in APB Opinion No. 29, “Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions”, is based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of assets exchanged. The guidance in that Opinion, however, included certain exceptions to that principle. This Statement amends Opinion 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. SFAS No. 153 is effective for nonmonetary exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS No. 153 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 4 - ACQUISITIONS

In accordance with SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations,” acquisitions of businesses 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 purchase price consideration, including certain acquisition and closing costs, exceeds the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired at the date of the acquisition.

Clayborn

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 68,871 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 in quarterly distributions, by payment to the Clayborn shareholders of 50% of the quarterly post tax profits, as defined, of Clayborn and a final payment of any remaining balance on that date.

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 $11.76 per share, for an aggregate of 59,524 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 was paid in April 2005, $75,000 is payable on the second anniversary 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 initial current and long-term discounted present value at April 2, 2004 of this note was $71,429 and $111,219, respectively.

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.

A valuation of certain assets was completed, including property and equipment, backlog, list of major customers, and the Company internally determined the fair value of its other assets and liabilities. In determining the fair value of acquired assets, standard valuation techniques were used including the market and cost approaches. The initial purchase price allocation in 2004 has been adjusted as a result of final valuation in 2005, with fixed assets increasing in value by $24,000, customer lists being valued at $220,000 and backlog being valued at $65,000, resulting in a decrease in goodwill by these combined amounts. Accordingly, a deferred tax liability of $119,000 was recorded since the amortization of customer lists and backlog is not available as a tax deduction to the Company. The aggregate changes resulted in goodwill being decreased to approximately $847,000 as of the acquisition date.

The final purchase price allocation, as adjusted, has been determined as follows:

Quality

On November 24, 2004, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Quality. The aggregate consideration paid by the Company to the Quality selling shareholders, net of acquisition transaction costs of $172,578, was $7,442,295, of which $6,700,000 was paid at closing. Additional purchase price adjustments of $742,295 were paid in June 2005 to settle working capital adjustments and income tax reimbursements related to the Company electing to make an Internal Revenue Code 338 (h) (10) election. For income tax purposes, this election results in a stepped up basis of assets and liabilities and will result in future income tax deductions.

Quality is a Lakewood, New Jersey based provider of specialty communication services. The acquisition of Quality gives the Company additional project engineering expertise for specialty communication opportunities, broadens its customer base especially in the public safety sector and gaming industry, and expands its geographic presence in the Northeastern United States. The financing for this transaction was completed through the issuance of common stock as described in Note 11.

A valuation of certain assets was completed, including property and equipment, list of major customers, and the Company internally determined the fair value of its other assets and liabilities. In determining the fair value of acquired assets, standard valuation techniques were used including the market and income approaches.

NOTE 7 - LINE OF CREDIT

Walker maintained a revolving line of credit facility with a commercial bank, with a borrowing limit up to 70% of eligible Walker accounts receivable. As of April 30, 2005, the borrowing base was $700,000 and the outstanding balance was approximately $382,000. 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. In August 2004, Walker was awarded a contract of approximately $5,000,000, which required 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 was 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% (7.25% as of April 30, 2005). In addition, the Company and certain executive officers of the Company personally guaranteed this line of credit facility. On June 3, 2005, this line of credit was paid off in connection with the credit agreement described below.

On June 3, 2005, the Company entered into a credit agreement with a new commercial bank. The credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement"), provides for a revolving line of credit in an amount not to exceed $5,000,000, together with a letter of credit facility not to exceed $500,000. The Company also entered into security agreements with the bank, pursuant to which each subsidiary granted a security interest to the bank in all of their assets.

Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Company is permitted to borrow up to $3,000,000 under the revolving credit line, based upon eligible receivables. Once the Company has provided financial statements to the bank which evidence that the Company has earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of (i) $750,000 for the quarter ended July 31, 2005, (ii) $750,000 for the quarter ended October 31, 2005, and (iii) $2,500,000 for the year ended April 30, 2006, the revolving commitment amount will be increased to $5,000,000. The Credit Agreement contains customary covenants, including but not limited to (i) restrictions on the permitted ratio of total unsubordinated liabilities to tangible net worth plus subordinated indebtedness, (ii) the Company's total tangible net worth, (iii) working capital, (iv) minimum earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and (v) dividend restrictions. The loan commitment expires on August 31, 2008. The Company may prepay the loan at any time.
 
Loans under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate equal to either the bank’s reference rate plus one half (0.5%) percent, or LIBOR plus two and three-quarters (2.75%) percent, as the Company may request. The Company paid a facility fee to the bank of $50,000 on the closing date.

The Company used the initial funds provided by the loan, in the gross amount of $3,000,000, to repay existing bank debt at Walker of approximately $672,000, for the payment of approximately $742,000 to the former shareholders of our Quality subsidiary for monies due to them pursuant to the terms of the purchase of their company, and for working capital. A $500,000 letter of credit was also re-issued in favor of Walker’s surety bonding company for performance and payment bond collateral requirements described above.

NOTE 8 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In connection with the acquisition of Walker, the Company assumed a ten-year lease with a trust, of which, a certain officer of the Company is the trustee, for a building and land located in Fairfield, California, which is occupied by its Walker subsidiary. For the years ended April 30, 2005 and 2004 the rent paid for this lease was $88,000 and $56,000, respectively.
 
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, as defined, of Clayborn and the payment of the remainder on that date.

In connection with the acquisition of Heinz, a $200,000 non-interest bearing promissory note was issued. Of the $200,000, $75,000 was paid in April 2005, $75,000 is payable on the second anniversary of the closing date and $50,000 is payable on the third anniversary of the closing date.

In connection with the acquisition of Quality, approximately $742,000 of additional purchase price consideration was paid to the selling shareholders in June 2005 for working capital adjustments and income tax reimbursements.

NOTE 9 - RETIREMENT PLANS

The Company and its subsidiaries participate in employee savings plans under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code pursuant to which eligible employees may elect to defer a portion of their annual salary by contributing to the plan. There were $8,800 and $4,000 in contributions made for the years ended April 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

The Company also contributes to multi-employer pension plans which provide benefits to union employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement. Cost of revenue includes approximately $2,178,000 and $1,210,000 for such costs for the years ended April 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

At April 30, 2005, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards for State tax purposes approximating $1,170,000 expiring through 2025. Due to the uncertainty of recognizing a tax benefit on these losses in certain states, the Company has provided a valuation allowance of $73,000 against the total deferred tax asset of $113,000 related to these losses.

NOTE 11 - STOCK OPTION PLAN

The Company established a nonqualified 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"). Under the terms of the 2002 Plan, the options, which expire five years after grant, 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. At April 30, 2005, there were 5,771 shares available for grant under the 2002 Plan. From time to time, the Company issues stock options to employees outside the plan.

NOTE 12 - SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

On November 16, 2004, the Company sold an aggregate of 2,083,887 shares of common stock and 2,083,887 common stock purchase warrants to eight investors for $10,000,000. 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 filed a resale registration statement on December 30, 2004 covering the common stock and the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, which was declared effective by the SEC on January 18, 2005.

Each warrant is exercisable for a period of five years at a price of $8.40 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. The warrants are callable by the Company, upon 30 days notice, should the common stock trade at or above $25.20 per share for 25 out of 30 consecutive trading days. A maximum of 20% of the warrants may be called in any three-month period.

The Company paid the placement agent of the offering a cash fee of $650,000 or 6.5% of the proceeds of the offering. In addition, the placement agent received warrants to purchase 62,500 shares of common stock, exercisable for a period of five years at an exercise price of $4.80 per share. The Company also paid a finders’ fee of $100,000 to another third party in connection with the offering and incurred other related costs of $112,095. Accordingly, the Company received net proceeds of $9,137,905 from the offering.

ITEM 8 - CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.

ITEM 8A - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. An evaluation as of April 30, 2005 was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure procedures. Based on that evaluation , our principal executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act")) were sufficiently effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is gathered, analyzed and disclosed with adequate timeliness, accuracy and completeness.
 
In connection with its review of the Company's financial statements for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2005 J.H. Cohn LLP, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm brought to the attention of the Company's management and Audit Committee that the Company had initially understated its provision for income taxes by improperly reversing deferred tax liabilities arising from an acquisition. The Company subsequently adopted additional procedures to address this deficiency, including consulting a third party income tax consultant to review the Company’s income tax provision.

Changes in internal controls. There have been no significant changes in our internal controls, except for the change in procedures referred to in the preceding paragraph, or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of the evaluation referred to above, nor were there any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our internal controls.

ITEM 12. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

At the time of the following transactions, there were no affiliations between us and the other parties. As a result of these transactions, the other parties became affiliates. The transactions were ongoing after the close resulting in payoffs to the other parties who became affiliates.

In connection with the acquisition of Walker, we assumed a lease with a trust, of which, a certain officer is the trustee, for a building and land located in Fairfield, California, which is occupied by our Walker Comm subsidiary. The lease calls for monthly rental payments of $4,642, with annual increases, calculated using the San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Area Consumer Price Index. For the year ended April 30, 2005, $88,300 was paid as rent for this lease.

On August 22, 2003, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of Clayborn in exchange for an aggregate $900,000 cash consideration and 68,871 newly issued shares of our common stock. 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, as defined, of Clayborn and a final payment of any remaining balance on that date.

On April 2, 2004, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Heinz. We acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Heinz for $1,000,000, as follows: (1) $700,000 of our common stock, based on the closing price of our common stock on March 30, 2004 of $11.76 per share, for an aggregate of 59,524 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 was paid in April 2005, $75,000 is payable on the second anniversary of the closing date and $50,000 is payable on the third anniversary of the closing date.

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES.

Audit Fees. The aggregate fees billed by our auditors, for professional services rendered for the audit of our annual financial statements for the years ended April 30, 2005 and 2004, and for the reviews of the financial statements included in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-QSB during that fiscal year were $133,000, and $115,500, respectively.

Audit Related Fees. We incurred fees to auditors of $39,473 and $21,511, respectively, for audit related fees during the fiscal years ended April 30, 2005 and 2004.

Tax Fees. We incurred fees to auditors of $3,900 and $2,115, respectively, for tax compliance services during the fiscal years ended April 30, 2005 and 2004.

The Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's independence.
