PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

This summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. This summary does not contain all of the information that you should consider before investing in our common stock. You should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the section entitled “Risk Factors” and the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included elsewhere in this prospectus, before making an investment decision.

Our Company

WPCS International Incorporated designs and deploys wireless networks. We provide design-build engineering services for specialty communication systems and wireless infrastructure. Specialty communication systems are wireless networks designed to improve productivity for a specified application by communicating data, voice or video information in situations where land line networks are non-existent, more difficult to deploy or too expensive. Wireless infrastructure services include the engineering, installation, integration and maintenance of wireless carrier equipment.

Wireless technology has advanced substantially to the point where wireless networks have proven to be an effective alternative to land line networks, a key factor in wireless’ broad acceptance. We believe the use of dedicated wireless networks for specified applications has improved productivity for individuals and organizations alike. Demand for wireless data services is accelerating the adoption of new technologies that enable wireless networks to deliver enhanced features and capabilities. These new technologies have increased the complexity of wireless systems, and created demand for the services of companies such as ours with specialized skills to address that complexity.

With seven offices across the United States, we provide our services to our customers nationwide. Because we are technology and vendor independent, we can integrate multiple products and services across a variety of communication requirements, creating the most appropriate solution for our customers. Wireless communication is primarily achieved through radio frequency, or RF, signals. We have extensive experience in RF engineering, a necessary skill in designing wireless networks free from interference with other signals and amplified sufficiently to carry data, voice or video with speed, accuracy and reliability. We believe the strength of our experience in the design and deployment of specialty communication systems gives us a competitive advantage, and has supported our rapid growth, both organically and through acquisitions.

Our goal is to become a recognized leader in the design and deployment of wireless networks for specialty communication systems and wireless infrastructure. For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005, we generated revenues of $40.1 million, an increase of 81.9% from the fiscal year ended April 30, 2004. For the nine months ended January 31, 2006, we generated revenues of $38.2 million, an increase of 31.8% over the comparable period in 2005. Our backlog at January 31, 2006 was approximately $19.7 million.

Our Strategy

Our strategy focuses on both organic growth and the pursuit of acquisitions that add to our engineering capacity and geographic coverage. Specifically, we will endeavor to:

 Increase customer awareness by marketing the full range of our services to our customers;
 Maintain and expand our focus in existing vertical markets such as public safety and gaming, and develop expertise in new vertical markets;
 Strengthen our relationships with technology providers whose products offer benefits to our customers; and
 Seek strategic acquisitions of compatible businesses that can be assimilated into our organization and that will add accretive earnings to our business.

1

Our Customers

Our customers include corporations, government entities and educational institutions. In our specialty communication systems segment, we believe our design and deployment of innovative wireless networks specific to the needs of customers in certain vertical markets has brought us recognition in these markets. We have worked with public safety customers such as the California Department of Transportation, or CALTRANS, gaming customers such as Bally’s, and healthcare customers such as Wake Forest University Baptist Hospital. In our wireless infrastructure services segment, our customers are major wireless service providers such as Sprint Nextel.

Risks Affecting Us

Our business is subject to numerous risks, as discussed more fully in the section entitled “Risk Factors” immediately following this prospectus summary, including:

 
Our success is dependent on growth in the deployment of wireless networks, and to the extent that such growth slows down, our revenues may decrease and our ability to continue operating profitably may be harmed;

 
We have a limited history of profitability which may not continue;

 
If we fail to accurately estimate costs associated with our fixed-price contracts using percentage-of-completion, our actual results may vary from our assumptions, which may reduce our profitability or impair our financial performance;

 
Failure to properly manage projects may result in unanticipated costs or claims;

 
The industry in which we operate has relatively low barriers to entry and increased competition could result in margin erosion, which would make profitability even more difficult to sustain;

 
Our business depends upon our ability to keep pace with the latest technological changes, and our failure to do so could make us less competitive in our industry;

 
Our failure to attract and retain engineering personnel or maintain appropriate staffing levels could adversely affect our business;

 
If we are unable to identify and complete future acquisitions, we may be unable to continue our growth;

 
Future acquired companies could be difficult to assimilate, disrupt our business, diminish stockholder value and adversely affect our operating results;

 
We derive a significant portion of our revenues from a limited number of customers, the loss of which would significantly reduce our revenues; and

 
Amounts included in our backlog may not result in actual revenue or translate into profits.

RISK FACTORS

This investment has a high degree of risk. Before you invest you should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and the other information in this prospectus. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, operating results and financial condition could be harmed and the value of our stock could go down. As a result, you could lose all or a part of your investment.

Our success is dependent on growth in the deployment of wireless networks, and to the extent that such growth slows down, our revenues may decrease and our ability to continue operating profitably may be harmed.

Customers are constantly re-evaluating their network deployment plans in response to trends in the capital markets, changing perceptions regarding industry growth, the adoption of new wireless technologies, increasing pricing competition and general economic conditions in the United States and internationally. If the rate of network deployment growth slows and customers reduce their capital investments in wireless technology or fail to expand their networks, our revenues and profits, if any, could be reduced.

We have a limited history of profitability which may not continue.

While we had net income of approximately $1.3 million for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005, we incurred a net loss of approximately $124,000 for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2004. In addition, for the nine months ended January 31, 2006, we incurred a net loss of approximately $9.6 million. There can be no assurance that we will sustain profitability or generate 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 may need to reduce or cease all or part of our operations.

If we fail to accurately estimate costs associated with our fixed-price contracts using percentage-of-completion, our actual results may vary from our assumptions, which may reduce our profitability or impair our financial performance.

A substantial portion of our revenue is derived from fixed price contracts. Under these contracts, we set the price of our services on an aggregate basis and assume the risk that the costs associated with our performance may be greater than we anticipated. We recognize revenue and profit on these contracts as the work on these projects progresses on a percentage-of-completion basis. Under the percentage-of-completion method, contracts in process are valued at cost plus accrued profits less earned revenues and progress payments on uncompleted contracts.

The percentage-of-completion method therefore relies on estimates of total expected contract costs. These costs may be affected by a variety of factors, such as lower than anticipated productivity, conditions at work sites differing materially from what was anticipated at the time we bid on the contract and higher costs of materials and labor. Contract revenue and total cost estimates are reviewed and revised periodically as the work progresses, such that adjustments to profit resulting from revisions are made cumulative to the date of the revision. Adjustments are reflected in contract revenue for the fiscal period affected by these revised estimates. If estimates of costs to complete long-term contracts indicate a loss, we immediately recognize the full amount of the estimated loss. Such adjustments and accrued losses could result in reduced profitability and liquidity.

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

Our wireless network engagements may involve large scale, highly complex projects. 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 customers’ expectations could result in claims for substantial damages against us. Our contracts generally limit our liability for damages that arise from negligent acts, errors, mistakes or omissions in rendering services to our customers. 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. If the project or network experiences a performance problem, we may not be able to recover the additional costs we would incur, which could exceed revenues realized from a project.

4

The industry in which we operate has relatively low barriers to entry and increased competition could result in margin erosion, which would make profitability even more difficult to sustain.

Other than the technical skills required in our business, the barriers to entry in our business are relatively low. We do not have any intellectual property rights to protect our business methods and business start-up costs do not pose a significant barrier to entry. The success of our business is dependent on our employees, customer relations and the successful performance of our services. If we face increased competition as a result of new entrants in our markets, we could experience reduced operating margins and loss of market share and brand recognition.

Our business depends upon our ability to keep pace with the latest technological changes, and our failure to do so could make us less competitive in our industry.

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 may 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 deploying 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 preferences.

Our failure to attract and retain engineering personnel or maintain appropriate staffing levels could adversely affect our business.

Our success depends upon our attracting and retaining skilled engineering personnel. Competition for such skilled personnel in our industry is high and at times can be extremely intense, especially for engineers and project managers, and we cannot be certain that we will be able to hire sufficiently qualified personnel in adequate numbers to meet the demand for our services. We also believe that our success depends to a significant extent on the ability of our key personnel to operate effectively, both individually and as a group. Additionally, we cannot be certain that we will be able to hire the requisite number of experienced and skilled personnel when necessary in order to service a major contract, particularly if the market for related personnel is competitive. Conversely, if we maintain or increase our staffing levels in anticipation of one or more projects and the projects are delayed, reduced or terminated, we may underutilize the additional personnel, which could reduce our operating margins, reduce our earnings and possibly harm our results of operations. If we are unable to obtain major contracts or effectively complete such contracts due to staffing deficiencies, our revenues may decline and we may experience a drop in net income.

If we are unable to identify and complete future acquisitions, we may be unable to continue our growth.

Since November 1, 2002, we have acquired five companies and we intend to further expand our operations through targeted strategic acquisitions. However, we may not be able to identify suitable acquisition opportunities. Even if we identify favorable acquisition targets, there is no guarantee that we can acquire them on reasonable terms or at all. If we are unable to complete attractive acquisitions, the growth that we have experienced over the last three fiscal years may decline.

Future acquired companies could be difficult to assimilate, disrupt our business, diminish stockholder value and adversely affect our operating results.

Completing acquisitions may require significant management time and financial resources because we may need to assimilate widely dispersed operations with distinct corporate cultures. Our failure to manage future acquisitions successfully could seriously harm our operating results. Also, acquisitions could cause our quarterly operating results to vary significantly. Furthermore, our stockholders would be diluted if we financed the acquisitions by issuing equity securities. In addition, acquisitions expose us to risks such as undisclosed liabilities, increased indebtedness associated with an acquisition and the potential for cash flow shortages that may occur if anticipated financial performance is not realized or is delayed from such acquired companies.

We derive a significant portion of our revenues from a limited number of customers, the loss of which would significantly reduce our revenues.

We have derived, and believe that we will continue to derive, a significant portion of our revenues from a limited number of customers. To the extent that any significant customer uses less of our services or terminates its relationship with us, our revenues could decline significantly. As a result, the loss of any significant customer could seriously harm our business. For the nine months ended January 31, 2006, we had two separate customers which accounted for 20.1% and 14.0% of our revenues. For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005, we had one customer which accounted for 15.5% of our revenues. Other than under existing contractual obligations, none of our customers is obligated to purchase additional services from us. As a result, the volume of work that we perform for a specific customer is likely to vary from period to period, and a significant customer in one period may not use our services in a subsequent period.

Amounts included in our backlog may not result in actual revenue or translate into profits.

As of January 31, 2006, we had a backlog of unfilled orders of approximately $19.7 million. This backlog amount is based on contract values and purchase orders and may not result in actual receipt of revenue in the originally anticipated period or at all. In addition, contracts included in our backlog may not be profitable. We have experienced variances in the realization of our backlog because of project delays or cancellations resulting from external market factors and economic factors beyond our control and we may experience delays or cancellations in the future. If our backlog fails to materialize, we could experience a reduction in revenue, profitability and liquidity.

Our business could be affected by adverse weather conditions, resulting in variable quarterly results.

Adverse weather conditions, particularly during the winter season, could affect our ability to perform outdoor services in certain regions of the United States. As a result, we might experience reduced revenue in the third and fourth quarters of our fiscal year. Natural catastrophes such as the recent hurricanes in the United States could also have a negative impact on the economy overall and on our ability to perform outdoor services in affected regions or utilize equipment and crews stationed in those regions, which in turn could significantly impact the results of any one or more of our reporting periods.

Our management will have broad discretion in allocating the net proceeds from this offering, and the failure of our management to apply the net proceeds from this offering effectively could harm our business.

We currently intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of the common stock offered hereby for general corporate purposes, which may include potential strategic acquisitions and/or investments or repayment of all or a portion of our existing bank debt, and for working capital. We have not determined the amount of net proceeds from the sale of our common stock in this offering that we will use for any of these purposes. Accordingly, our management will retain broad discretion as to the allocation of the net proceeds of this offering. The failure of management to apply these funds effectively could negatively impact our business.

If we are unable to retain the services of Messrs. Hidalgo, Schubiger, Heinz or Walker, our operations could be disrupted.

Our success depends to a significant extent upon the continued services of Mr. Andrew Hidalgo, our Chief Executive Officer and Messrs. Richard Schubiger, James Heinz and Donald Walker, our Executive Vice Presidents. Mr. Hidalgo has overseen our company since inception and provides leadership for our growth and operations strategy. Messrs. Schubiger, Heinz and Walker run the day-to-day operations of Quality, Heinz and Walker Comm, respectively. Loss of the services of Messrs. Hidalgo, Schubiger, Heinz or Walker could disrupt our operations and harm our growth, revenues, and prospective business. We do not maintain key-man insurance on the lives of Messrs. Hidalgo, Schubiger, Heinz or Walker.

Employee strikes and other labor-related disruptions may adversely affect our operations.

Our business is labor intensive, with certain projects requiring large numbers of engineers. Over 40% of our workforce is unionized. Strikes or labor disputes with our unionized employees may adversely affect our ability to conduct our business. If we are unable to reach agreement with any of our unionized work groups on future negotiations regarding the terms of their collective bargaining agreements, or if additional segments of our workforce become unionized, we may be subject to work interruptions or stoppages. Any of these events could be disruptive to our operations and could result in negative publicity, loss of contracts and a decrease in revenues.

We may incur goodwill impairment charges in our reporting entities which could harm our profitability.

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS, No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” we periodically review the carrying values of our goodwill to determine whether such carrying values exceed the fair market value. All five of our acquired companies, Clayborn, Invisinet, Heinz, Quality and Walker Comm, each of which is a reporting unit, are subject to annual review for goodwill impairment. If impairment testing indicates that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, the goodwill of the reporting unit is deemed impaired. Accordingly, an impairment charge would be recognized for that reporting unit in the period identified, which could reduce our profitability.

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 beyond our control, are likely to cause these fluctuations. Some of these factors include:

 
the timing and size of network deployments and technology upgrades by our customers;
 
fluctuations in demand for outsourced network services;
 
the ability of certain customers to sustain capital resources to pay their trade accounts receivable balances and required changes to our allowance for doubtful accounts based on periodic assessments of the collectibility of our accounts receivable balances;
 
reductions in the prices of services offered by our competitors;
 
our success in bidding on and winning new business;
 
our sales, marketing and administrative cost structure; and
 
 
effects of  variable accounting for warrant liability.

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.

7

Our stock price may be volatile, which may result in lawsuits against us and our officers and directors.

The stock market in general, and the stock prices of technology and telecommunications companies in particular, have experienced volatility that has often been unrelated to or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. The market price of our common stock has fluctuated in the past and is likely to fluctuate in the future. Between March 31, 2005 and March 31, 2006, our common stock has traded as low as $4.32 and as high as $12.78 per share, based upon information provided by NASDAQ Capital Market. Factors which could have a significant impact on the market price of our common stock include, but are not limited to, the following:

 
quarterly variations in operating results;
 
announcements of new services by us or our competitors;
 
the gain or loss of significant customers;
 
changes in analysts’ earnings estimates;
 
rumors or dissemination of false information;
 
pricing pressures;
 
short selling of our common stock;
 
impact of litigation;
 
general conditions in the market;
 
changing the exchange or quotation system on which we list our common stock for trading;
 
political and/or military events associated with current worldwide conflicts; and
 
events affecting other companies that investors deem comparable to us.

Companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their stock have frequently been the object of securities class action litigation. Class action and derivative lawsuits could result in substantial costs to us and a diversion of our management’s attention and resources, which could materially harm our financial condition and results of operations.

Future changes in financial accounting standards may adversely affect our reported results of operations.

A change in accounting standards could have a significant effect on our reported results and may even affect our reporting of transactions completed before the change is effective. For example, in December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,” a revision of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” which requires companies to expense all employee stock options and other share-based payments over the service period. Implementation of this standard as required during the first fiscal quarter of our fiscal year 2007 may impair our ability to use equity compensation to attract and retain skilled personnel. It is likely that we will have to recognize additional compensation expense in the periods after adoption of this standard.

New pronouncements and varying interpretations of pronouncements have occurred and may occur in the future. Changes to existing rules or the questioning of current practices may adversely affect our reported financial results or the way we conduct our business.

Compliance with changing regulation of corporate governance and public disclosure may result in additional expenses.

Changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, newly enacted SEC regulations and NASDAQ Stock Market rules, have created additional burdens for companies such as ours. We are committed to maintaining high standards of corporate governance and public disclosure. As a result, we intend to invest appropriate resources to comply with evolving standards. This investment will result in increased general and administrative costs and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities.

8

We can issue shares of preferred stock without stockholder approval, which could adversely affect the rights of common stockholders.

Our certificate of incorporation permits us to establish the rights, privileges, preferences and restrictions, including voting rights, of future series of our preferred stock and to issue such stock without approval from our stockholders. The rights of holders of our common stock may suffer as a result of the rights granted to holders of preferred stock that we may issue in the future. In addition, we could issue preferred stock to prevent a change in control of our company, depriving common stockholders of an opportunity to sell their stock at a price in excess of the prevailing market price.

There may be an adverse effect on the market price of our shares as a result of shares being available for sale in the future.

As of March 31, 2006, holders of our outstanding options and warrants have the right to acquire 2,787,357 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants, at exercise prices ranging from $4.80 to $19.92 per share, with a weighted average exercise price of $8.35. The sale or availability for sale in the market of the shares underlying these options and warrants could depress our stock price. We have registered substantially all of the underlying shares described above for resale. Holders of registered underlying shares may resell the shares immediately upon issuance upon exercise of an option or warrant.

If our stockholders sell substantial amounts of our shares of common stock, including shares issued upon the exercise of outstanding options and warrants, the market price of our common stock may decline. These sales also might make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem appropriate.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We estimate that we will receive net proceeds of approximately $5.5 million from the sale of 876,931 shares in this offering (based upon a sale price at $7.00 per share), after deducting the placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses. We intend to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may include potential strategic acquisitions and/or investments or repayment of all or a portion of our existing bank debt, and for working capital. We have not entered into any binding commitments or agreements with respect to any potential strategic acquisition or investment and no assurances can be given that we will be able to identify a potential acquisition on terms we deem favorable. Pending these uses, the net proceeds will be invested in investment-grade, interest-bearing securities.

On June 3, 2005, we entered into a credit agreement with Bank Leumi USA under which we borrowed $3,000,000 under a $5,000,000 revolving line of credit. As of January 31, 2006, we had outstanding $3,000,000 in loans under the credit agreement, which mature on August 31, 2008. 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. As of January 31, 2006, the interest rate was 7.1875%. We used the initial funds provided by the loan to repay existing bank debt at Walker Comm of approximately $672,000, for the payment of approximately $758,000 to the former stockholders of our Quality subsidiary for monies due to them under the terms of the purchase of their company, and for working capital.

Business Overview

We respond to the growing demand in wireless communications by providing engineering services for the design and deployment of wireless networks. We operate in two segments that we define as specialty communication systems and wireless infrastructure services.

We generate our revenue by providing a range of services including the design, deployment and maintenance of:

 
two-way radio communication systems, which are used primarily for emergency dispatching;
 
Wi-Fi networks, which are wireless local area networks that operate on a set of product compatibility standards;
 
WiMAX networks, which are networks that can operate at higher speeds and over greater distances than Wi-Fi;
 
mesh networks, which are redundant systems to route information between points;
 
millimeter wave networks, which are high capacity networks for high speed wireless access;
 
fixed wireless networks, which are used in point-to-point outdoor communications;
 
Radio Frequency Identification, or RFID, networks, which allow customers to identify and track assets;
 
free-space optics, which is a wireless communication technology that uses light to transmit voice, data and video; and
 
commercial cellular systems, which are used primarily for mobile communications.

Specialty communication systems are wireless networks for a specified customer application. In this segment, we can utilize any facet of wireless technology or a combination of various wireless technologies to engineer a cost effective network for a customer’s wireless communication requirement. Customers include corporations, government entities and educational institutions. For the nine months ended January 31, 2006, specialty communication systems represented approximately 84% of our total revenue.

Wireless infrastructure services include the design, deployment and maintenance of commercial cellular systems. The primary customers in this category include major wireless service providers such as Sprint Nextel and Cingular. For the nine months ended January 31, 2006, wireless infrastructure services represented approximately 16% of our total revenue.

12

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

 
For the nine months ended January 31, 2006, the specialty communication systems segment represented approximately 84% of total revenue, and the wireless infrastructure services segment represented approximately 16% of total revenue, as compared to approximately 77% and 23%, respectively, for the nine months ended January 31, 2005. This shift in revenue composition towards the specialty communication systems segment was primarily a result of our acquisition of Quality in the third fiscal quarter of 2005.

 
As we continue to search for acquisitions, our primary goal is to identify companies which are performing well financially and are compatible with the services that we perform in the specialty communication systems segment. This trend could lead to a further shift in our revenue composition towards the specialty communication systems segment. We believe that the strength of our experience in the design and deployment of specialty communication systems gives us a competitive advantage.

 
We also seek to achieve organic growth in our existing business by maximizing the value of our existing customer base, maintaining and expanding our focus in vertical markets and developing our relationships with technology providers.

 
We believe that the emergence of new and improved technologies such as WiMAX will create additional opportunities for us to design and deploy solutions through the use of the latest technologies and assisting existing customers in enhancing the efficiency of their existing wireless networks using new technologies.

 
We believe that the wireless carriers will continue to make expenditures to build and upgrade their networks, increase existing capacity, upgrade their networks with new technologies and maintain their existing infrastructure. In response to this trend, we will continue to provide network deployment services that address wireless carrier needs.
 
 
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 concluded that under EITF 00-19, common stock and warrants subject to 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 as temporary equity  in the balance sheet until the conditions are eliminated. Additionally, the fair value of warrants should be recorded as a liability, with an offsetting reduction to shareholders’ equity, adjusted to market value at the end of each period. In analyzing instruments under EITF 00-19, the likelihood or probability related to the failure to maintain an effective registration statement is not a factor.
 
Based on the above interpretation, as of April 30, 2005, we classified $5,732,116 for the value of common stock subject to registration rights as temporary equity instead of shareholders' equity. During fiscal 2006, certain of these common shares were sold by the investors; therefore we are no longer subject to performance for these shares under the registration rights agreement. Accordingly, we reclassified $3,663,010 out of temporary equity and into shareholders'  equity resulting in $2,069,106 of temporary equity as of January 31, 2006.
 
In addition, we measured the initial fair value of the warrants on the closing date and classified the fair value of the warrants as warrant liability instead of shareholders' equity. At April 30, 2005, the warrant liability was $1,994,570. At January 31, 2006, the warrant liability increased to $11,296,669 due principally to the increase in the market value of our common stock. As a result, for the nine months ended January 31, 2006, we recorded a non-cash loss on fair value of warrants of $11,406,414.

13

The increase in the loss on fair value of warrants is due principally to the increase in the market value of our common stock. The non-cash loss on fair value of warrants has no effect on our cash flows or liquidity.

Revenue

Revenue for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005 was approximately $40,148,000, as compared to $22,076,000 for the prior fiscal year, an increase of 81.9%. The increase in revenue was attributable to organic growth expansion of our customer base and new contract awards of approximately $7,600,000 and approximately $10,400,000 from the acquisitions of Heinz and Quality. For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005, we had one customer which comprised 15.5% of our revenues.

Total revenue from the specialty communication systems segment for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2005 and 2004 was approximately $31,497,000 or 78.5% of total revenue and $17,508,000 or 79.3% of total revenue, respectively. Wireless infrastructure services segment revenue for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2005 and 2004 was approximately $8,651,000 or 21.5% of total revenue 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, union benefits and other overhead costs. Our cost of revenue was approximately $32,445,000 or 80.8% of revenue for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005, compared to $17,286,000 or 78.3% of revenue for the prior fiscal year. The dollar increase in our total cost of revenue was due to the corresponding increase in revenue during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005 as a result of organic growth in revenue and the acquisitions of Heinz and Quality. In addition, the increase in total cost of revenue was due to an increase in costs incurred on certain contracts that were recognized during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005 of approximately $1,200,000. The increase in cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue was due primarily to an increase in costs incurred on certain contracts, offset by the revenue mix attributable to the acquisitions of Heinz and Quality.

16

The specialty communication systems segment cost of revenue and cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2005 and 2004 were 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 was due to the corresponding increase in revenue during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005 as a result of organic growth in revenue from Walker Comm and Clayborn, and the acquisitions of Clayborn and Quality. In addition, the increase in total cost of revenue was due to an increase in costs incurred on certain Walker Comm contracts that were recognized during the fiscal year of approximately $1,200,000. The increase in cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue was due to an increase in the costs incurred on certain Walker Comm contracts recognized during the period, partially offset by lower cost of revenue on revenues attributable to the Quality acquisition.

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

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

For the fiscal 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 total revenue for the prior fiscal year. The percentage decrease was due to the increase in total revenue in fiscal 2005. Included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005 were $3,656,000 for salaries, commissions, and payroll taxes. The increase in salaries and payroll taxes compared to the prior fiscal year was due to the increase in headcount as a result of the acquisitions of Clayborn, Heinz and Quality. Professional fees were $537,000, which included 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 fiscal year ended April 30, 2005, total selling, general and administrative expenses for the specialty communication systems and wireless infrastructure services segments were $4,658,000 and $1,180,000, respectively.

For the fiscal 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 were salaries, commissions and payroll taxes of $2,100,000, professional fees of $566,000 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 fiscal year ended April 30, 2004, total selling, general and administrative expenses for the specialty communication systems and wireless infrastructure services segments were $2,805,000 and $712,000, respectively.

Depreciation and Amortization

For the fiscal 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 fiscal year ended April 30, 2005 was $310,000 as compared to $154,000 for the same period of the prior fiscal year. The increase in amortization was 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.
 
17


Gain on Fair Value of Warrants

Gain on fair value of warrants for the fiscal 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 recorded as a liability 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 fiscal 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 fiscal year ended April 30, 2004.

The increase in the loss is due principally to the increase in the market value of our common stock. The loss represents the unrealized non-cash change in the fair value of certain warrants recorded as a liability for the period using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The non-cash loss on fair value of warrants has no impact on our cash flows or liquidity.

Net Loss

As a result of the above, the net loss was approximately $9,640,000 for the nine months ended January 31, 2006, including federal and state income tax expense of approximately $1,154,000. The variation in effective tax rates between periods is primarily due to the Quality acquisition and the loss on fair value of warrants described above.
 
20

We recognized net loss of approximately $630,000 for the nine months ended January 31, 2005, net of federal and state income taxes of approximately $162,000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At January 31, 2006, we had working capital of approximately $13,053,000, which consisted of current assets of approximately $20,086,000 and current liabilities of $7,033,000.
 
Operating activities provided approximately $1,938,000 in cash for the nine months ended January 31, 2006. The sources of cash from operating activities total approximately $3,767,000, comprised of $9,640,000 net loss, $12,073,000 in net non-cash charges, a $50,000 decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets, an $810,000 increase in billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts and a $474,000 increase in income taxes payable. The uses of cash from operating activities total approximately $1,829,000, comprised of a $122,000 increase in accounts receivable, a $297,000 increase in costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts, a $73,000 increase in inventory, and a $1,337,000 decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses.

Our investing activities utilized approximately $139,000 in cash during the nine months ended January 31, 2006, which consisted of $135,000 paid for property and equipment and $4,000 paid for acquisition transaction costs.

Our financing activities provided cash of approximately $4,549,000 during the nine months ended January 31, 2006. Financing activities include proceeds from the exercise of warrants of $3,387,000 less related issuance costs of $200,000, borrowings under lines of credit of $2,618,000 less debt issuance costs of $159,000, repayments of equipment loans and capital lease obligations of approximately $154,000, and $943,000 paid to shareholders.

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 commercial bank. 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.

Under the terms of our 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) our total tangible net worth, (iii) working capital, (iv) minimum earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and (v) dividend restrictions. As of January 31, 2006, we were in compliance with the credit agreement covenants. The loan commitment expires on August 31, 2008. We may prepay the loan at any time.
 
The loan under the credit agreement bears 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 (7.1875% as of January 31, 2006). We paid a facility fee to the bank of $50,000 on the closing date. In addition to the loan, 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.

21

We used the initial funds provided by the loan, in the gross amount of $3,000,000, to repay existing bank debt of Walker of approximately $672,000, for the payment of approximately $758,000 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.

On November 24, 2004, we acquired Quality for the aggregate consideration of approximately $7,500,000 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 provides 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.
 
At January 31, 2006, we had cash and cash equivalents of $7,337,000 and working capital of approximately $13,053,000. With the funds available from the recently obtained revolving credit line and internally available funds, we believe that we have sufficient capital to meet our needs through January 31, 2007. 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.
 
Backlog

As of January 31, 2006, we had a backlog of unfilled orders of approximately $19.7 million compared to approximately $17.4 million at January 31, 2005. We anticipate our backlog at January 31, 2006 to be recognized as revenue within eight months from that date. We define backlog as the value of work-in-hand to be provided for customers as of a specific date where the following conditions are met (with the exception of engineering change orders): (i) the price of the work to be done is fixed; (ii) the scope of the work to be done is fixed, both in definition and amount; and (iii) there is a written contract, purchase order, agreement or other documentary evidence which represents a firm commitment by the customer to pay us for the work to be performed. These backlog amounts are based on contract values and purchase orders and may not result in actual receipt of revenue in the originally anticipated period or at all. We have experienced variances in the realization of our backlog because of project delays or cancellations resulting from external market factors and economic factors beyond our control and we may experience such delays or cancellations in the future. Backlog does not include new firm commitments which may be awarded to us by our customers from time to time in future periods. These new project awards could be started and completed in this same future period. Accordingly, our backlog does not necessarily represent the total revenue that could be earned by us in future periods.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies

Financial Reporting Release No. 60, published by the SEC, recommends that all companies include a discussion of critical accounting policies used in the preparation of their financial statements. While all these significant accounting policies impact our financial condition and results of operations, we view certain of these policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

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.

22

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.

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. We determine our allowance by considering a number of factors, including the length of time trade accounts receivable are past due, our previous loss history, the customer’s current ability to pay its obligation to us, and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. We write off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible, and payment subsequently received on such receivables are credited to the allowance for doubtful accounts.

23

Goodwill and Other Long-lived Assets

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

Our annual review for goodwill impairment for the fiscal years 2005 and 2004 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 Comm, Clayborn and Quality within our specialty communication systems 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 consolidated 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 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 engineering 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.

24

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, a provision is made in the current period for the total loss anticipated.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 123(R) (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” which revises FASB Statement No. 123 and will be effective beginning with the first fiscal quarter for our fiscal year ending April 30, 2007. The revised standard will require us to expense employee stock options and other share-based payments over the service period. 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, although it is likely that we will have to recognize additional compensation expense in the periods after adoption.

No other recently issued accounting pronouncement effective after the end of the most recent quarter is expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

BUSINESS

Overview

We design and deploy wireless networks. We provide design-build engineering services for specialty communication systems, which are dedicated wireless networks for specified applications, and for wireless infrastructure, which encompasses commercial cellular systems for wireless carriers. Our range of services includes site design, spectrum analysis, engineering, trenching, electrical work, structured cabling, product integration, testing and project management. Because we are technology and vendor independent, we can integrate multiple products and services across a variety of communication requirements. This ability gives our customers the flexibility to create and implement the most appropriate solution for their communication needs, and the cost advantage that comes from dealing with competing vendors. Our customers include corporations, government entities and educational institutions. Within this customer base, we also serve vertical sectors such as public safety, gaming and healthcare, and wireless carriers.

The increasing demand for wireless services has become a driving force behind the recent growth in the global communications industry. Wireless technology has advanced substantially to the point where wireless networks have proven to be an effective alternative to land line networks, a key factor in wireless’ broad acceptance. The advantages of wireless over land line communication are apparent in the aspects of mobility, capacity, cost, and deployment. We believe the use of dedicated wireless networks for specified applications has improved productivity for individuals and organizations alike. We provide comprehensive and cost effective engineering services to address the demand for these wireless networks.

With seven offices across the United States, we provide our services to our customers nationwide. Our rapid revenue growth since we commenced operations in November 2001 is attributable to a combination of acquisitions and organic growth. For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005, we generated revenues of $40.1 million, an increase of 81.9% from the fiscal year ended April 30, 2004. For the nine months ended January 31, 2006, we generated revenues of $38.2 million, an increase of 31.8% over the comparable period in 2005. Our backlog at January 31, 2006 was approximately $19.7 million.

Industry Background 

Worldwide use of wireless communications has grown rapidly as cellular and other emerging wireless technologies have become more widely available and affordable for businesses and consumers. The Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association, or CTIA, in a summary prepared in October 2005, reported that there were approximately 194.5 million wireless subscribers in the United States, an increase of 15% over the prior year. The rapid growth in wireless communications is driven by the dramatic increase in wireless device usage, as well as strong demand for wireless data services and enterprise applications. According to the CTIA summary, wireless service revenue from data applications increased 85% from the prior year, to reach $3.7 billion for the first six months of 2005.

The growing number of wireless subscribers and the increase in usage by those subscribers have fueled the growth of the wireless services industry. According to a study prepared by the Ovum Group for CTIA in September 2005, U.S. wireless carriers spent $21.3 billion on capital investment in 2004. We believe enterprise wireless network investment will increase substantially as the industry continues to expand.

Advantages of Wireless Technology

Various improvements in wireless technologies have resulted in an environment where wireless solutions provide a number of key advantages over traditional land line solutions, including:

 
Mobility. Mobile communications and computing are among the driving forces behind the demand for wireless connectivity. The increased functionality and declining cost of mobile wireless devices has fueled further growth. Mobile connectivity has led to greater productivity as organizations transmit data and gather information from remote staff and locations where land line connectivity is unavailable. Such mobile connectivity has created significant cost savings in data collection, increased responsiveness, enabled greater access to enterprise resources, and improved controls.
 
 
26


 
 
Capacity. Current technology allows wireless transmission with capacity, quality and reliability superior to land line and comparable to fiber. For example, current radio technology is capable of two-way data transfer at rates up to 1 gigabits per second, allowing wireless networks to transmit content as quickly as over fiber.

 
Cost. Wireless networks cost less than comparable land line networks both to deploy and to operate. Wireless deployment is less expensive because the installation of a land line network is more labor-intensive, requires more time and may involve substantial right-of-way expenditures, while we expect the main cost component of wireless networks-equipment-to continue to decline as technology advances and production volumes increase. Operating costs of wireless networks are also lower because land lines require extensive troubleshooting to execute repairs. In addition, wireless networks bypass local service providers, eliminating recurring monthly charges.

 
Deployment. Because enterprise wireless networks do not require negotiating rights of way, substantial infrastructure engineering, time-consuming third party coordination efforts or additional FCC licensing, they can be deployed quickly and less expensively. Rapid deployment allows organizations to install networks more closely in line with immediate needs rather than having to commit to time-consuming engineering projects in anticipation of future growth.

Industry Trends

The demand for wireless data services can be tied to the following key trends:

 
increased security of wireless data transmission;

 
introduction of new technologies such as Wi-Fi, WiMAX and RFID;

 
increasing accessibility and affordability of Web-enabled devices; and

 
increased capacity of wireless networks, making them a legitimate substitute for land line communications.

The advantages gained through wireless communication solutions have expanded the scope of possible applications, creating demand for specialty communication systems.

Demand for wireless data services is accelerating the adoption of new technologies to enable wireless networks to deliver enhanced features and capabilities. Such technologies include Internet protocol, or IP, communications, including Voice over IP; fixed broadband wireless that permits the use of high capacity wireless connections between locations that are within a line of sight across relatively short distances; and mobile wireless technologies and new high capacity applications, commonly referred to as “3G” broadband wireless networks. According to the Telecommunications Industry Association’s 2005 Telecommunications Market Review and Forecast, Wi-Fi and WiMAX infrastructure revenues were expected to reach $5.2 billion and $115 million, respectively, in 2005. The proliferation of network technologies, enabled by the standardization around IP is increasing the challenge to integrate these technologies, protocols and services. All these new technologies have increased the complexity of wireless systems, and created demand for the services of companies with specialized skills to address that complexity.

Business Strategy

Our goal is to become a recognized leader in the design and deployment of wireless networks for specialty communication systems and wireless infrastructure. We have designed and deployed many systems incorporating innovative uses of wireless technology in various vertical markets. Our strategy focuses on both organic growth and the pursuit of acquisitions that add to our engineering capacity and geographic coverage. Specifically, we will endeavor to:
 
 
27

 
 
 
Market additional services to our customers. Each acquisition we make expands our customer base. We seek to expand these new customer relationships by making them aware of the diverse products and services we offer. We believe that providing these customers the full range of our services will lead to new projects or revenue opportunities and increased profitability.

 
Maintain and expand our focus in vertical markets. We have deployed successful, innovative wireless solutions for multiple customers in a number of vertical markets, such as public safety and the gaming industry. We will continue to seek additional customers in these targeted vertical markets who can benefit from our expertise, and look for new ways in which we can design wireless solutions to enhance productivity within these markets. We also look for new vertical markets where we can make a difference with compelling wireless solutions, and will continue to expand our vertical market coverage to include these new markets as appropriate.

 
Strengthen our relationships with technology providers. We will continue to strengthen the relationships we have with technology providers such as Avaya and Motorola. These companies rely on us to deploy their technology products within their customer base. We have worked with these providers in testing new equipment they develop, and our personnel maintain certifications on our technology providers’ products. We also look for innovative products which can be of benefit to our customers, and endeavor to establish similar relationships with new technology providers as part of our commitment to offering the most complete solutions to our customers.

 
Seek strategic acquisitions. We will continue to look for additional acquisitions of compatible businesses that can be assimilated into our organization, expand our geographic coverage and add accretive earnings to our business. Our preferred acquisition candidates will have experience with specialty communication systems, engineering capacity in a design-build format, an expansive customer base, and a favorable financial profile.

Services

We operate in two segments, specialty communication systems and wireless infrastructure services. Specialty communication systems are wireless networks designed to improve productivity for a specified application by communicating data, voice or video information in situations where land line networks are non-existent, more difficult to deploy or too expensive. Wireless infrastructure services include the engineering, installation, integration and maintenance of wireless carrier equipment. For the nine months ended January 31, 2006, specialty communication systems represented approximately 84% of our total revenue, and wireless infrastructure services represented approximately 16% of our total revenue. For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005, specialty communication systems represented approximately 78% of our total revenue, and wireless infrastructure services represented approximately 22% of our total revenue.

Specialty Communication Systems

The types of specialty communication systems that we implement are used for mobile computing and general wireless connectivity purposes. In mobile computing, the most popular use is the transfer of data, voice or video from a server to a mobile device, which can be achieved through the following applications:

 
asset tracking, which is a wireless network that monitors the location of mobile assets such as vehicles or stationary assets such as equipment;

 
telematics, which are instructions sent through a wireless network that controls a device such as a slot machine or traffic signal; and

 
telemetry, which is the acquisition of data from a measuring device such as the devices used at a water treatment plant to maintain the integrity of drinking water.

28

In general wireless connectivity, we design and deploy wireless networks which allow entities to reduce their dependence on high cost leased land lines or provide them with a redundant back-up wireless network to their land line network.

Wireless communication is primarily achieved through radio frequency, or RF, signals. There are various RF communication methods used for connectivity, including Wi-Fi and WiMAX technology for local area and wide area networking, fixed wireless networks for point-to-point connectivity, and cellular communication for general voice and data transmission. We have the engineering expertise to utilize any facet of wireless technology or a combination of various wireless technologies to engineer a cost effective network for a customer’s wireless communication requirement. In addition, the design and deployment of a specialty communication system is a comprehensive effort that requires experience in RF engineering so that the wireless network is free from interference with other signals and amplified sufficiently to carry data, voice or video with speed and accuracy. Our extensive engineering expertise with RF communications makes us well suited to address these challenges for our customers.

We are technology and vendor independent. As wireless networks evolve, customers are increasingly showing a tendency to select independent service providers, allowing our independence to become an important differentiator. As open standards and IP-based architecture continue to supplant vendor proprietary protocols and products in the marketplace, we believe our independent position will allow us to capture an increasing share of the specialty communication systems market. We believe that the strength of our experience in the design and deployment of these specialty communication systems gives us a competitive advantage and has supported our rapid growth, both organically and through acquisitions.

Wireless Infrastructure Services

We provide wireless infrastructure services to major wireless carriers. Wireless carriers are focused on building and expanding their networks, increasing capacity, upgrading their networks with new technologies and maintaining their existing infrastructure. Our engineers install, test and commission base station equipment at the carrier cell site, including installations of new equipment, technology upgrades, equipment modifications and reconfigurations. These services may also include tower construction. The range of infrastructure services includes the following:

 
Installation, testing and commissioning of base station equipment, which is the installation of radio frequency equipment inside the shelter at a cell site, and testing to ensure that the equipment is operating prior to cell site activation;

 
Equipment modification and reconfiguration, which involves replacing old equipment with new equipment, re-routing cables, and re-locating equipment at the cell site;

 
Network modifications, which refers to work done on existing cell sites to increase capacity or change the direction of sectors or antennas;

 
Sectorization, which is the installation of antennas to existing cell towers to increase the capacity of the cell site; and

 
Maintenance, which includes antenna maintenance to replace damaged antennas, installing tower lighting control panels or sensors, or repairing damaged shelters.

Project Characteristics

Our contracts are service-based projects providing installation and engineering services, which include providing labor, materials and equipment for a complete installation. The projects are generally staffed with a project manager who manages multiple projects and a field supervisor who is responsible for an individual project. Depending on contract scope, project staff size could range from two to four engineers to as high as 25 to 30 engineers. A project may also include subcontracted services along with our direct labor.

29

The project manager coordinates the daily activities of direct labor and subcontractors and works closely with our field supervisors. Project managers are responsible for job costing, change order tracking, billing, and customer relations. Executive management monitors the performance of all projects regularly through work-in-progress reporting or percentage-of-completion, and reviews this information with each project manager.

Our projects are executed on a contract basis. These contracts can be awarded through a competitive bidding process, an informal bidding process, or a simple quote request. Upon award of a contract, there can often be a delay of several months before work begins. The active work time on our projects can range in duration from a few days up to as long as two years. Once services under the contract commence, our average project length is approximately two months.

Customers

We serve a variety of customers in different market segments. In our specialty communication systems segment, we believe our design and deployment of innovative wireless networks specific to the needs of customers in certain vertical markets has brought us recognition in these markets.

In public safety, we have designed and deployed illuminated crosswalks activated by a wireless signal, wireless traffic monitoring systems and wireless changeable highway message signs for Amber Alert notification. In addition, we have designed and deployed inclusive emergency management systems that coordinate emergency services including 911 dispatching and records management. Our public safety customers have included CALTRANS, Amtrak, the New Jersey State Police and the State of New York.

In the gaming industry, we have developed expertise in the design and deployment of wireless networks to monitor slot machine activity for casino operators. The slot machines, which represent the highest percentage of revenue for any casino, are networked and constantly monitored from a central location. The network is designed to alert the casino operators if there is a malfunction, and provide the ability to repair any technical issues immediately and remotely, representing an economic benefit in both cost savings and elimination of lost revenue. In addition, we have established wireless two-way radio, paging and dispatch networks within casinos for improved communication. Our gaming customers have included Bally’s, Caesar’s Entertainment, Mohegan Sun Hotel & Casino and The Seminole Indian Nation.

In the healthcare industry, we have deployed systems such as the following:

 
a wireless network for the asset tracking of ambulances in order to improve medical dispatch services for patients;

 
the deployment of laptop computers in ambulances for the transmission of patient information to the hospital while in transit; and

 
a wireless network that allows medical staff to access consolidated patient medical records throughout the hospital via mobile wireless devices, improving the accuracy of patient care.

Our healthcare customers have included Amcare Ambulance, Wake Forest University Baptist Hospital, Somerset Hospital and Southeast Regional Medical Center.

We also provide design and deployment of wireless networks for general wireless connectivity. We have provided these services to customers within our vertical markets, as well as corporations such as United Parcel Service and real estate developers such as Silverstein Properties in the construction of the new 7 World Trade Center in New York City. Improved communication can be established between buildings by establishing Wi-Fi networks and fixed wireless networks that eliminate costly leased land lines. We also designed and deployed a wireless network for Alltel Stadium, the home of the Jacksonville Jaguars and site of the 2005 Super Bowl, which is used for point-of-sale inventory management for different vendors throughout the stadium.

30

In our wireless infrastructure segment, our customers are major wireless service providers. We have provided services for Sprint Nextel, Cingular, T-Mobile, U.S. Cellular and Verizon. We are performing engineering services for a major wireless carrier related to a project mandated by the FCC. The project involves a multi-phase FCC-mandated re-banding initiative to include mitigation of public safety radio interference at the 800MHz frequency by moving service to the 900 MHz frequency. The scope of our project requires the removal and replacement of certain equipment located at the cell site shelters to accommodate the frequency changes. In addition, we are upgrading and integrating non-wide band equipment within existing transmitter sites to allow for future frequency migration.

For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005, we had revenue from one customer totaling $6.2 million, which comprised 15.5% of our total revenue. For the nine months ended January 31, 2006, we had revenue from two customers totaling $7.7 million and $5.4 million, which comprised 20.1% and 14.0% of our total revenue, respectively.

Sales and Marketing

We have dedicated sales and marketing resources that develop opportunities within our existing customer base, and identify new customers through our vertical market focus and our relationships with technology providers. In addition, our project managers devote a portion of their time to sales and marketing. When an opportunity is identified, we assess the opportunity to determine our level of interest in participation. After qualifying an opportunity, our sales and marketing resources work with the internal project management teams to prepare a cost estimate and contract proposal for a particular project. We keep track of bids submitted and bids that are awarded. Once a bid is awarded to us, it is assigned to a project management team and included in our backlog. We focus almost all of our sales and marketing effort in the United States due to the robust market conditions.

Backlog

As of January 31, 2006, we had a backlog of unfilled orders of approximately $19.7 million compared to approximately $17.4 million at January 31, 2005. We anticipate our backlog at January 31, 2006 to be recognized as revenue within eight months from that date. We define backlog as the value of work-in-hand to be provided for customers as of a specific date where the following conditions are met (with the exception of engineering change orders): (i) the price of the work to be done is fixed; (ii) the scope of the work to be done is fixed, both in definition and amount; and (iii) there is a written contract, purchase order, agreement or other documentary evidence which represents a firm commitment by the customer to pay us for the work to be performed. These backlog amounts are based on contract values and purchase orders and may not result in actual receipt of revenue in the originally anticipated period or at all. We have experienced variances in the realization of our backlog because of project delays or cancellations resulting from external market factors and economic factors beyond our control and we may experience such delays or cancellations in the future. Backlog does not include new firm commitments which may be awarded to us by our customers from time to time in future periods. These new project awards could be started and completed in this same future period. Accordingly, our backlog does not necessarily represent the total revenue that could be earned by us in future periods.

Competition

We face competition from numerous service providers, ranging from small independent regional firms to larger firms servicing national markets. We also face competition from existing or prospective customers that employ in-house personnel to perform some of the same types of services that 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 a competitor. At the present time, we believe that there are no dominant competitors in the specialty communication systems segment. Some of the competition we face comes from companies that provide similar services, but are not vendor independent, such as Terabeam, Inc. and ARC Wireless Solutions, Inc., and from companies that offer general wireless connectivity services on a subscription model basis, such as Earthlink, Inc. and T-Mobile USA, Inc. The vendor-independent competitors in this market are relatively fragmented, and there is no recognized competitor who offers services similar to ours on a national scale. There are a number of engineering firms that could compete with us in the future, who have substantially greater resources. The competition we face in the wireless infrastructure services segment comes primarily from Wireless Facilities, Inc. and LCC International, Inc. There are also numerous regional competitors whom we encounter in our wireless infrastructure services business.

31

The principal competitive advantage in these markets is the ability to deliver results on time and within budget. Other factors of importance include reputation, accountability, staffing capability, 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 design, deploy and maintain all facets of wireless technology for various vertical sectors gives us a competitive advantage. We maintain a trained and certified staff of engineers that have developed proven methodologies for the design and deployment of wireless networks, and can provide these services on a national basis. In addition, we offer both a union and non-union workforce that allows us to bid on either labor requirement, creating yet another competitive advantage.

However, our ability to compete effectively also depends on a number of additional factors which are beyond our control. These factors include competitive pricing for similar services, the ability and willingness of the competition to finance projects on favorable terms, the ability of customers to perform the services internally and the responsiveness of our competitors to customer needs.

Employees

As of March 31, 2006, we employed 219 full time employees, of whom 151 are project engineers, 23 are project managers, 39 are in general management and administration and six are executives. We have approximately 95 project engineers who are represented by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. A contract with these union employees expires November 30, 2008. We also have non-union employees. We believe relations with our employees are good.

Properties

Our principal executive offices are located in approximately 2,550 square feet of office space in Exton, Pennsylvania. We operate our business under office leases in the following locations:

(2) We lease our Fairfield, California location from a trust, of which Gary Walker, one of our Directors, is the trustee.
 
We believe that our existing facilities are suitable and adequate to meet our current business requirements.

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 obligations resulting from these transactions were ongoing after the close, resulting in payoffs to the other parties who became affiliates.

In connection with the acquisition of Walker Comm, we assumed a lease with a living trust established by Gary Walker, one of our Directors, who is the trustee and whose heirs are the beneficiaries of the trust. The lease is 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 fiscal years ended April 30, 2005, and 2004, the rent paid for this lease was $88,000 and $56,000, respectively. For each of the nine months ended January 31, 2006 and 2005, the rent paid for this lease was $66,000. We believe the terms of this lease are no less favorable than those which could have been obtained between unrelated parties for similar transactions acting at arm’s length.

On August 22, 2003, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of Clayborn, our wholly owned subsidiary, in exchange for an aggregate $900,000 cash consideration and 68,871 newly issued shares of our common stock. The Clayborn stockholders consisted of David Gove, the former President of Clayborn, and his spouse. An additional $1,100,000 is due by September 30, 2007, payable in quarterly distributions, by payment to the Clayborn stockholders of 50% of the quarterly post tax profits, as defined, of Clayborn and a final payment of any remaining balance on that date. Through January 31, 2006, payments of $185,000 have been made to the former Clayborn stockholders and the total remaining due is $915,000.

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 from James Heinz, our Executive Vice President, 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 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 was issued. Of the $200,000, $75,000 was paid in April 2005, $75,000 was paid in April 2006 and $50,000 is payable in April 2007.

On November 24, 2004, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Quality, of which Richard Schubiger, our Executive Vice President, owned 33.33%. The aggregate consideration we paid to the Quality selling stockholders, net of acquisition transaction costs, was $7,457,913, of which $6,700,000 was paid pro rata to the Quality stockholders at closing. Additional purchase price adjustments of $757,913 were paid in June 2005 to settle working capital adjustments and income tax reimbursements related to our Internal Revenue Code Section 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.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

The following description of our capital stock is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of our certificate of incorporation, with amendments, all of which have been filed as exhibits to our registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

Common Shares

We are authorized to issue up to 75,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001. As of March 31, 2006, there were 4,386,853 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, 816,667 shares reserved for issuance under our stock option plans, and 2,016,904 warrants to acquire shares of common stock. The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by the stockholders. The holders of common stock are entitled to receive dividends ratably, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds legally available. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the holders of common stock are entitled to share equally and ratably in all assets remaining available for distribution after payment of liabilities and after provision is made for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the common stock. The holders of shares of common stock, as such, have no conversion, preemptive, or other subscription rights and there are no redemption provisions applicable to the common stock.

Preferred Shares

We are authorized to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001. As of March 31, 2006, no shares of preferred stock are issued and outstanding. The shares of preferred stock may be issued in series, and shall have such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such designations, preferences and relative participating, optional or other special rights, and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, as shall be stated and expressed in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance of such stock adopted from time to time by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors is expressly vested with the authority to determine and fix in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issuances of preferred stock the voting powers, designations, preferences and rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of each such series to the full extent now or hereafter permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware.

Warrants and Options

As of March 31, 2006, we had outstanding warrants and options to acquire approximately 2,787,357 shares of common stock, exercisable at prices ranging between $4.80 and $19.92.

In connection with the sale of 100 units in a private placement during July to September 2003, each unit had 3,703.67 warrants, with each warrant representing the right to purchase one share of our common stock at an exercise price of $10.80 per share expiring from July 18, 2006 to September 5, 2006. The exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants will be adjusted upon the occurrence of certain events, including the issuance of common stock as a dividend on shares of common stock, subdivisions, reclassifications or combinations of the common shares or similar events. The warrants do not contain provisions protecting against dilution resulting from the sale of additional shares of common shares for less than the exercise price of the warrants or the current market price of our securities and do not entitle warrant holders to any voting or other rights as a stockholder until such warrants are exercised and common shares are issued.

Warrants may be redeemed in whole or in part at our option, upon 30 days’ notice, at a redemption price equal to $0.12 per share of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, if the closing price of the common shares is at least $15.00 per share on average for 10 consecutive trading days, ending not earlier than 30 days before the warrants are called for redemption. Additionally, in connection with the sale of the 100 units, we issued the placement agent three-year warrants expiring September 3, 2006 to purchase 55,417 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $9.00 per share. As of March 31, 2006, there were 424,118 warrants issued in that offering that are outstanding.

42

 
On November 16, 2004, we sold 2,083,887 shares of common stock and 2,083,887 common stock purchase warrants to eight investors in a private placement. 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 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 addition, Punk, Ziegel & Company, L.P., the placement agent in this transaction, 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. As of March 31, 2006, there were 1,592,786 warrants issued in that offering that are outstanding.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

Upon completion of this offering, we will have outstanding 5,263,784 shares of common stock, assuming no exercise of outstanding options or warrants. All of the shares of common stock sold in this offering will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, unless purchased by our affiliates as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Not including shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding options or warrants, the 1,109,337 shares of common stock held by Special Situations Private Equity Fund, L.P., Special Situations Fund III QP, L.P. and our directors and executive officers after the offering will be “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act and may not be sold in the absence of registration under the Securities Act, unless an exemption from registration is available, including an exemption pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

In addition, holders of our outstanding options and warrants have the right to acquire 2,787,357 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants at exercise prices ranging from $4.80 to $19.92 per share, with a weighted average exercise price of $8.35. We have registered all but 21,250 of the underlying shares described above for resale.

Rule 144

In general, under Rule 144 of the Securities Act as currently in effect, beginning 90 days after the date of this prospectus, a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated, such as an affiliate) who has beneficially owned restricted shares for at least one year, is permitted to sell, within any three-month period, the number of such restricted shares that does not exceed the greater of:

 
one percent of the then-outstanding shares of our common stock; or

 
the average weekly trading volume of our common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding such sale.

Sales under Rule 144 are subject to restrictions relating to manner of sale, notice and the availability of current public information about us.

Rule 144(k)

In addition, under Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act, a person who was not an affiliate of our company at any time within the three months preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned shares for at least two years, may sell such shares immediately following this offering without having to comply with volume limitations, manner of sale provisions, notice or other requirements of Rule 144.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON
INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

Our Certificate of Incorporation limits, to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware law, the personal liability of directors for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as a director. Our Bylaws provide that we shall indemnify our officers and directors and may indemnify our employees and other agents to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation may indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent made a party to an action by reason of the fact that he or she was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or was serving at the request of the corporation against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with such action if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and with respect to any criminal action, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

LEGAL MATTERS

The validity of the shares of common stock being offered hereby will be passed upon for us by Sichenzia Ross Friedman Ference LLP, New York, New York.

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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
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 45,849,976 shares to 3,821,385 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 - 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.

WPCS INTERNATIONAL INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 concluded that under EITF 00-19, common stock and warrants subject to 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 likelihood or probability related to the failure to maintain an effective registration statement is not a factor.

Based on the above interpretation, as of April 30, 2005, the Company classified $5,732,116 for the value of common stock subject to registration rights as temporary equity instead of shareholders’ equity. In addition, the Company measured the initial fair value of the warrants on the closing date at $3,408,833 and classified the fair value of the warrants as warrant liability instead of shareholders’ equity. 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.

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.
 
Goodwill through the years ended April 30, 2005 and 2004 consisted of the following:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
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 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.

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 12.

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.

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for quarterly reports on Form 10-QSB and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Accordingly, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005 included elsewhere in this prospectus. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of the management, considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. Operating results for the nine month period ended January 31, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2006. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period financial statements to conform to the current presentation.
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of WPCS International Incorporated (“WPCS”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, WPCS Incorporated , Invisinet, Inc. (“Invisinet”), Walker Comm, Inc. (“Walker”), Clayborn Contracting Group, Inc. (“Clayborn”), Heinz Corporation (“Heinz”), and Quality Communications & Alarm Company (“Quality”) from November 24, 2004 (date of acquisition), collectively the “Company”.

The Company provides design-build engineering services for specialty communication systems, which are dedicated wireless networks for specified applications, and for wireless infrastructure, which encompasses commercial cellular systems for wireless carriers. The Company provides a range of services including site design, spectrum analysis, engineering, trenching, electrical work, structured cabling, product integration, testing and project management. 
 
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 45,849,976 shares to 3,821,385 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.

NOTE 2 - 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.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 concluded that under EITF 00-19, common stock and warrants subject to 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 likelihood or probability related to the failure to maintain an effective registration statement is not a factor.

Based on the above interpretation, as of April 30, 2005, the Company classified $5,732,116 for the value of common stock subject to registration rights as temporary equity instead of shareholders'  equity. During fiscal 2006, certain of these common shares were sold by the investors; therefore the Company is no longer subject to performance for these shares under the registration rights agreement. Accordingly, the Company reclassified $3,663,010 from temporary equity and into shareholders' equity, resulting in $2,069,106 of temporary equity as of January 31, 2006.

In addition, the Company measured the initial fair value of the warrants on the closing date to be  $3,408,833,  and classified the fair value of the warrants as warrant liability instead of shareholders' equity. 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 warrant liability. At January 31, 2006, the warrant liability increased to $11,296,669 due principally to the increase in the market value of the Company’s common stock. The fair value of the warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, with the following assumptions: for the nine months ended January 31, 2006, risk-free interest rate of 4.16% to 4.47%, dividend yield of 0%, expected life of 5.79 to 6.29 years and volatility range of 29.1% to 35.5% were used. For the nine months ended January 31, 2005, risk-free interest rate of 3.92%, dividend yield of 0%, expected life of 6.79 years and volatility of 42.1% were used.

As a result, for the nine months ended January 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company recorded a non-cash loss on fair value of warrants of $11,406,414 and $840,499 respectively. The increase in the loss on fair value of warrants is due principally to the increase in the market value of the common stock of the Company. The non-cash loss on fair value of warrants has no effect on the Company’s cash flows or liquidity.

 
NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SELECTED SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A summary of selected significant accounting policies consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements follows (additional policies are set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB):

Goodwill

In accordance with 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 finite 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 at least annually, 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 based on the excess, if any, of the reporting unit’s carrying value of goodwill over its implied fair value.

The Company determines the fair value of the businesses acquired (reporting units) for purposes of the initial 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 estimates of costs of capital for purposes of arriving at a discount factor. The Company performs its annual impairment test during the fourth quarter absent any interim impairment indicators.

Changes in goodwill during the nine months ended January 31, 2006 are as follows:

Revenue recognition

The Company records revenue and profit on its 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.
 
Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Earnings (loss) per common share is computed pursuant to SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" (“EPS”). Basic income per common share is computed as net income 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 January 31, 2006, the Company had 781,204 stock options and 2,142,320 warrants outstanding which are potentially dilutive securities. At January 31, 2005, the Company had 369,926 stock options and 2,509,121 warrants outstanding which were potentially dilutive securities. For the nine months ended January 31, 2006 and 2005, basic and diluted EPS is the same since the effect of the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants would be antidilutive.

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 as of January 31, 2006  until the conditions are eliminated.
 
Warrant Liability  
 
In connection with the sale of certain equity instruments in  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.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
 
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.

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, useful life of customer lists, deferred tax valuation allowance, the fair values of the assets and liabilities of purchased businesses and the factors related to determining if goodwill is impaired. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 4- ACQUISITIONS

In accordance with SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations”, acquisitions are accounted for under the purchase 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.

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 $176,356, was $7,457,913, of which $6,700,000 was paid at closing. Additional purchase price adjustments of $757,913 were paid in June 2005 to settle working capital adjustments and income tax reimbursements related to the Company’s Internal Revenue Code Section 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 provides 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.

A valuation of certain assets, including property and equipment, and list of major customers was completed 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
 
On June 3, 2005, the Company entered into a credit agreement with a 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 its 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. As of January 31, 2006, the Company was in compliance with the Credit Agreement covenants. The loan commitment expires on August 31, 2008. The Company may prepay the loan at any time.
 
The loan under the revolving credit line bears 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 (7.1875% as of January 31, 2006). The Company paid a facility fee to the bank of $50,000 on the closing date. In addition to the loan, 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.
 
The Company used the initial funds provided by the loan, in the gross amount of $3,000,000, to repay existing bank debt of Walker of approximately $672,000, for the payment of approximately $758,000 to the former shareholders of its Quality subsidiary for monies due to them pursuant to the terms of the purchase of their company, and for working capital.
 
NOTE 8 - STOCK OPTION PLANS
 
In September 2005, the Company adopted the 2006 Incentive Stock Plan, under which officers, directors, key employees or consultants may be granted options. Under the 2006 Incentive Stock Plan, 400,000 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance upon the exercise of stock options, stock awards or restricted stock. Under the terms of the 2006 Incentive Stock Plan, stock options are granted at exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the common stock at the date of grant, and become exercisable and expire in accordance with the terms of the stock option agreement between the optionee and the Company at the date of grant. Through January 31, 2006, options to purchase 380,000 shares were granted at exercise prices ranging from $6.14 to $6.61. At January 31, 2006, there were 20,000 options to purchase shares available for issuance under the 2006 Incentive Stock 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 one to 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 January 31, 2006, there were 15,463 shares available for grant under the 2002 Plan.

As currently permitted by SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” 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 plans. By making that election, the Company is required under SFAS 123 and related pronouncements to provide pro forma disclosures of net income and net income per common share as if the fair value based method of accounting had been applied.
 
The Company applies the intrinsic value method in accounting for its stock-based compensation plans. Had the Company measured compensation under the fair value based method for all stock options granted and amortized the cost over the related vesting period under the provisions of SFAS 123, the Company’s pro forma net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share would have been as follows:
 
 
   
Nine months ended January 31,
 
   
2006
 
2005
 
Net loss, as reported 
   
($9,639,889
)
 
($630,178
)
               
Deduct total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under fair value based method for all awards, net of tax 
    375,297     422,573  
               
Net loss, pro forma
   
($10,015,186
)
 
($1,052,751

Pro forma

The fair value of each option granted was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes Option pricing model with the following assumptions. For the nine months ended January 31, 2006, risk-free interest rate of 3.81%, dividend yield of 0%, expected life of 5 years and volatility range of 29.1% to 35.5% were used. For the nine months ended January 31, 2005, risk-free interest rate of 3.51% to 3.64%, dividend yield of 0%, expected life of 5 years and volatility of 44.9% were used.
 
SFAS 123(R) (revised December 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” a revision of SFAS 123, established, among other things, accounting and disclosure requirements for the use of a fair-value-based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation plans. As a result of the revisions to SFAS 123, the Company will be required to expense the fair value of employee stock options beginning with its first fiscal quarter ending July 31, 2006. The revised standard will require the Company to expense the fair value of employee stock options and other share-based payments over the service period. 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. The Company is 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, although it is likely that we will have to recognize additional compensation expense in periods after adoption.
