NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A summary of 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-K):

Principles of Consolidation

All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in these consolidated financial statements.
 
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

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 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 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 is recognized. However, if the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the goodwill of the unit may be impaired. The amount, if any, of the impairment is then measured in the second step, based on the excess, if any, of the reporting unit’s carrying value of goodwill over its implied value.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
The Company determines the fair value of the businesses acquired (reporting units) for purposes of this test primarily by using a discounted cash flow valuation technique. Significant estimates used in the valuation include estimates of future cash flows, both future short-term and long-term growth rates, and estimated cost of capital for purposes of arriving at a discount factor. The Company performs its annual impairment test during the fourth quarter absent any interim impairment indicators.

Changes in goodwill consist of the following during the nine months ended January 31, 2008:

Inventory

Inventory consists of materials, parts and supplies principally valued at the lower of cost using the first-in-first-out (FIFO) method, or market.

Revenue Recognition

The Company generates its revenue by providing design-build engineering services for specialty communication systems and wireless infrastructure services. The Company provides services that include site design, technology integration, electrical contracting, construction and project management. The Company’s engineering services report revenue pursuant to customer contracts that span varying periods of time. The Company reports revenue from contracts when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, fees are fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured.

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

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
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, a provision is made currently for the total loss anticipated.

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

Income Taxes

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.

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FAS No. 109” (FIN 48), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes is subject to significant and varied interpretations that have resulted in diverse and inconsistent accounting practices and measurements. Addressing such diversity, FIN 48 prescribes a consistent recognition threshold and measurement attribute, as well as clear criteria for subsequently recognizing, derecognizing and measuring changes in such tax positions for financial statement purposes. FIN 48 also requires expanded disclosure with respect to the uncertainty in income taxes. The adoption of FIN 48 on May 1, 2007 had no impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows or financial statements disclosures.

Earning Per Common Share

Earning per common share is computed pursuant to SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share". Basic net income per common share is computed as net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per common share reflects the potential dilution that could occur from common stock issuable through stock options and warrants.  The table below presents the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively:

These potentially dilutive securities were excluded because the stock option exercise prices exceeded the average market price of the common stock and, therefore, the effects would be antidilutive.

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 will likely differ from those estimates.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

On September 15, 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157), which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and for interim periods within those years. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands the related disclosure requirements. On February 12, 2008, the FASB issued staff position No. FAS 157-2, “effective date of FASB No. 157 Fair Value Measurements”, which delays the effective date of SFAS 157 for non-financial assets and liabilities to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of SFAS 157 on the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows or financial statement disclosures.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (SFAS 159), which permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company has not yet determined the impact SFAS 159 may have on our results of operations or financial position.

On December 4, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R) “Business Combinations” (SFAS 141(R)), and SFAS No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51” (SFAS 160).  These new standards will significantly change the accounting for and reporting for business combination transactions and noncontrolling (minority) interests in consolidated financial statements. SFAS 141(R) and SFAS 160 are required to be adopted simultaneously and are effective for the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The Company will evaluate the impact of adopting SFAS 141(R) and SFAS 160 on its financial position, or results of operations.

NOTE 3 - 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.

Voacolo

On March 30, 2007, the Company acquired Voacolo. The aggregate consideration paid by the Company to the Voacolo selling shareholders, including acquisition transaction costs of $31,389, was $2,563,863 of which $1,250,000 was paid in cash, and the Company issued 116,497 shares of common stock valued at $1,282,473. In addition, the Company shall pay an additional $2,500,000 in cash or Company common stock if Voacolo’s earnings before interest and taxes for the twelve months ended March 31, 2008 shall equal or exceed $1,100,000. Voacolo was acquired pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement among WPCS International Incorporated, and the former Voacolo shareholders, dated and effective as of March 31, 2007. In connection with the acquisition, Voacolo entered into employment agreements with the former Voacolo shareholders, each for a period of two years.  The acquisition of Voacolo expands the Company’s geographic presence in the Mid-Atlantic region and provides additional  electrical contracting services  in both high and low voltage applications, structured cabling and voice/data/video solutions, as well as the expansion of its operations into wireless video surveillance.

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

NOTE 7 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

In September 2006, the Company adopted the 2007 Incentive Stock Plan, under which officers, directors, key employees or consultants may be granted options.  Under the 2007 Incentive Stock Plan, 400,000 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance upon the exercise of stock options, stock awards or restricted stock.  At January 31, 2008, there were no stock options granted under this plan.

In September 2005, the Company adopted the 2006 Incentive Stock Plan, under which officers, directors, key employees or consultants may be granted options.  Under the 2006 Incentive Stock Plan, 400,000 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance upon the exercise of stock options, stock awards or restricted stock.  These shares were registered under Form S-8. Under the terms of the 2006 Incentive Stock Plan, stock options are granted at exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the common stock at the date of grant, and become exercisable and expire in accordance with the terms of the stock option agreement between the optionee and the Company at the date of grant.  These options generally vest based on between one to three years of continuous service and have five-year contractual terms. At January 31, 2008, options to purchase 326,726 shares were outstanding at exercise prices ranging from $6.14 to $12.10. At January 31, 2008, there were 1,698 options available for grant under the 2006 Incentive Stock Plan.

In March 2003, the Company established a stock option plan pursuant to which options to acquire a maximum of 416,667 shares of the Company's common stock were reserved for grant (the 2002 Plan). These shares were registered under Form S-8. Under the terms of the 2002 Plan, the options are exercisable at prices equal to the fair market value of the stock at the date of the grant and become exercisable in accordance with terms established at the time of the grant. These options generally vest based on between one to three years of continuous service and have five-year contractual terms. At January 31, 2008, options to purchase 232,009 shares were outstanding at exercise prices ranging from $4.80 to $16.20. At January 31, 2008, there were 42,141 shares available for grant under the 2002 Plan.

In accordance with SFAS 123(R) (revised December 2004), “Share-Based Payment, an amendment of SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, the Company recognizes stock-based employee compensation expense. The Company recorded stock-based compensation of $38,047 for the nine months ended January 31, 2008, compared to $30,666 for the nine months ended January 31, 2007.

At January 31, 2008, the total compensation cost related to unvested stock options granted to employees under the Company’s stock option plans but not yet recognized was approximately $86,000 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.9 years. For the nine months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007, the weighted average fair value of stock options granted was $5.23 and $3.86, respectively.

The Company has elected to adopt the shortcut method provided in Staff Position No. FAS 123(R)-3, “Transition Election Related to Accounting for the Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards,” for determining the initial pool of excess tax benefits available to absorb tax deficiencies related to stock-based compensation subsequent to the adoption of SFAS 123R. The shortcut method includes simplified procedures for establishing the beginning balance of the pool of excess tax benefits (the APIC Tax Pool) and for determining the subsequent effect on the APIC Tax Pool and the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows of the tax effects of share-based compensation awards. SFAS 123R requires that excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation be reflected as financing cash inflows.

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. Compensation cost is then recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting or service period and is net of estimated forfeitures.  There were no stock options granted by the Company in the three months ended January 31, 2008 or 2007.  The following assumptions were used to compute the fair value of stock options granted during the nine months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively:

Business Overview

The increasing demand for wireless services has become the 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 its broad acceptance. The advantages of wireless over land line communication are apparent in the aspects of mobility, capacity, cost, and deployment. The use of dedicated wireless networks for specified applications has improved productivity for individuals and organizations alike. We provide design-build engineering services that focus on the implementation requirements of wireless technology. We serve the specialty communication systems and wireless infrastructure sectors. We provide services that include site design, technology integration, electrical contracting, construction, and project management for corporations, government entities and educational institutions worldwide. 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 obtain the most appropriate solution for their communication needs on a cost effective basis.

Specialty Communication Systems

We provide specialty communication systems which 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. The types of specialty communication systems that we implement are used for mobile communication and general wireless connectivity purposes. In mobile communication, the most popular applications include asset tracking, telematics and telemetry.

In general wireless connectivity, we design and deploy networks that allow entities to reduce their dependence on high cost leased land lines. 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 an in-depth knowledge of radio frequency 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. For the nine months ended January 31, 2008, specialty communication systems represented approximately 87% of our total revenue.

Wireless Infrastructure Services

We provide wireless infrastructure services to major wireless carriers, which are services that include the engineering, installation, integration and maintenance of wireless carrier equipment. Wireless carriers continue to be 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 installation of new equipment, technology upgrades, equipment modifications and reconfigurations. These services may also include tower construction.

WPCS INTERNATIONAL INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES

ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
 OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Major wireless carriers have come to depend on our experience in providing engineering and support services that keep their networks technologically advanced and consistently operational. We have extensive experience in the installation, testing and commissioning of base station equipment. We provide complete services including testing, equipment modification, reconfiguration, structured cabling and relocating equipment at the cell site. In addition, WPCS also performs network modifications, antenna sectorization, electrical work and maintenance. For the nine months ended January 31, 2008, wireless infrastructure services represented approximately 13% of our total revenue.

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

 
·
For the nine months ended January 31, 2008, the specialty communication systems segment represented approximately 87% of total revenue, and the wireless infrastructure services segment represented approximately 13%. This revenue mix remains consistent with our historical performance and focus, in which over 80% of our total revenue has been derived from specialty communication systems.

 
·
As we continue to search for acquisitions, our primary goal is to identify companies which are performing well financially, that expand our customer base 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.
 
 
·
With regard to our acquisition strategy, we are also focused on expanding in the international sector with an emphasis on China, Australia and surrounding Pacific Rim countries.  This trend could lead to a change of revenue composition in which as much as 50% of our revenue could be generated from international sales in the future.

 
·
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 wireless market continues to display strong growth and the demand for our engineering services remains favorable domestically and in China and Australia, particularly in public safety and healthcare.   We believe that the advancement of wireless technology will create additional opportunities for us to design and deploy wireless solutions. Also, we continue to identify new vertical sectors for wireless technology.
 
 
·
We believe that our two most important economic indicators for measuring our future revenue producing capability are our backlog and bid list.  At January 31, 2008, our backlog of unfilled orders was approximately $67 million and our bid list, which represents project bids under proposal for new and existing customers, was approximately $129 million, which are at their highest levels historical, and indicates that demand for our services remains high. By comparison, our backlog and bid list was approximately $36 million and $125 million respectively, at October 31, 2007.

 
·
In general, we plan for our consolidated cost of revenue to fall in the range of 70 to 72% of revenue.  For the nine months ended January 31, 2008, consolidated cost of revenue was 72% compared to 69% for the same period in the prior year.  We are experiencing modest gross margin pressure compared to the same period in the prior year due to: (1) the subprime credit issues and the lack of residential housing projects, where in certain markets there are a growing number of general contractors competing for non-wireless projects and bidding down prices. While we are primarily focused on the high-end wireless design and deployment market, we have a modest exposure to this type of low-end contracting work; and (2) delays or postponements of certain projects with wireless carriers, resulting in contractors bidding down prices on remaining work.  Management is addressing these issues through continued focus and diversification to specialty communication systems projects.
 
 
·
We continue to maintain a healthy balance sheet with approximately $27 million in working capital and credit facility borrowings of only approximately $1.2 million.  We expect to use our working capital and availability under the credit facility to fund our continued growth.

Revenue

Revenue for the three months ended January 31, 2008 was approximately $24,802,000, as compared to approximately $18,121,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2007. The increase in revenue for the period was primarily attributable to the acquisitions of Voacolo on March 30, 2007, TAGS on April 5, 2007, Major on August, 2007, Max on August 2, 2007, Empire on November 1, 2007, and James on November 30, 2007. For the three months ended January 31, 2008, there were no customers which comprised more than 10% of total revenue.  For the three months ended January 31, 2007, we had two separate customers which comprised 21.7% and 10.9% of total revenue.

Total revenue from the specialty communication segment for the three months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007 was approximately $22,002,000 or 88.7% and $15,109,000 or 83.4% of total revenue, respectively.  The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to the acquisitions of Voacolo, TAGS, Major, Empire and James. Wireless infrastructure segment revenue for the three months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007 was approximately $2,800,000 or 11.3% and $3,012,000 or 16.6% of total revenue, respectively.  The decrease in revenue was due primarily to delays or postponement of certain projects with wireless carriers.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue consists of direct costs on contracts, materials, direct labor, third party subcontractor services, union benefits and other overhead costs.  Our cost of revenue was approximately $18,010,000 or 72.6% of revenue for the three months ended January 31, 2008, compared to $12,150,000 or 67.0% for the same period of the prior year.  The dollar increase in our total cost of revenue is due primarily to the corresponding increase in revenue during the three months ended January 31, 2008 as a result of the acquisitions of Voacolo, TAGS, Major, Max, Empire, and James.  The increase as a percentage of revenue is due primarily to the revenue blend attributable to our existing subsidiaries and recent acquisitions.

The specialty communication segment cost of revenue and cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue for the three months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007 was approximately $15,840,000 and 72.0% and $9,996,000 and 66.2%, respectively.  As discussed above, the dollar increase in our total cost of revenue is due primarily to the corresponding increase in revenue during the three months ended January 31, 2008 as a result of the acquisitions completed within the last year. The increase as a percentage of revenue is due primarily to the revenue blend attributable to Walker, Clayborn, Quality, NECS and the recent acquisitions of Voacolo, TAGS, Major, Empire and James.  Secondarily, we have experienced modest gross margin pressure in certain markets from more general contractors competing for non-wireless projects and bidding down prices on this type of low-end contracting work.

Wireless infrastructure segment cost of revenue and cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue for the three months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007 was approximately $2,170,000 and 77.5% and $2,154,000 and 71.5%, respectively.  The increase as a percentage of revenue was due primarily to the revenue blend attributable to Heinz, SECS and the recent acquisition of Max. Secondarily, we have experienced modest gross margin pressure as the wireless carriers delay or postpone projects, which result in contractors bidding down prices on remaining work.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

For the three months ended January 31, 2008, total selling, general and administrative expenses were approximately $5,574,000, or 22.5% of total revenue compared to $3,538,000, or 19.6% of revenue for the same period of the prior year. The dollar increase is primarily due to the acquisitions of Voacolo, TAGS, Major, Max, Empire and James. Included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended January 31, 2008 are $3,200,000 for salaries, commissions, payroll taxes and other employee benefits. The increase in salaries and payroll taxes compared to the same period of the prior year (see below) is due to the increase in headcount as a result of the acquisitions of Voacolo, TAGS, Major, Max, Empire and James. Professional fees were $201,000, which include accounting, legal and investor relation fees. Insurance costs were $634,000 and rent for office facilities was $218,000.  Automobile and other travel expenses were $569,000 and telecommunication expenses were $145,000. Other selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $607, 000.  For the three months ended January 31, 2008, total selling, general and administrative expenses for the specialty communication and wireless infrastructure segments were $4,275,000 and $730,000, respectively.

For the three months ended January 31, 2007, total selling, general and administrative expenses were approximately $3,538,000, or 19.6% of total revenue. Included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended January 31, 2007 were $2,045,000 for salaries, commissions, and payroll taxes.  Professional fees were $87,000, which include accounting, legal and investor relation fees. Insurance costs were $506,000 and rent for office facilities was $140,000.  Automobile and other travel expenses were $228,000 and telecommunication expenses were $82,000. Other selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $450,000. For the three months ended January 31, 2007, total selling, general and administrative expenses for the specialty communication and wireless infrastructure segments were approximately $2,442,000 and $746,000, respectively.

Depreciation and Amortization

For the three months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007, depreciation was approximately $393,000 and $186,000, respectively.  The increase in depreciation is due to the purchase of property and equipment and the acquisition of fixed assets from acquiring Voacolo, TAGS, Major, Max, Empire and James.  The amortization of customer lists and backlog for the three months ended January 31, 2008 was $225,000 as compared to $124,000 for the same period of the prior year.  The increase in amortization was due to the acquisition of customer lists from Voacolo, Major, Max, and Empire and backlog from Voacolo, Major and Empire. All customer lists are amortized over a period of five to nine years from the date of their acquisitions. Backlog is amortized over a period of one to three years from the date of acquisition based on the expected completion period of the related contracts.

Interest Expense and Interest Income

For the three months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007, interest expense was approximately $69,000 and $112,000, respectively. The decrease in interest expense is due principally to a reduction in borrowings on lines of credit compared to the three months ended January 31, 2007, and secondarily from a reduction in interest rates. As of January 31, 2008, there was $1,214,000 of total borrowings outstanding under lines of credit.

           For the three months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007, interest income was approximately $81,000 and $120,000, respectively. The decrease in interest earned is due principally to the decrease in our cash and cash equivalent balance over the same period in the prior year.

Net Income

The net income was approximately $383,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2008. Net income was net of federal and state income tax expense of approximately $253,000.  The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily the result of the mix of pre-tax income generated by the various operating subsidiaries.

The net income was approximately $1,252,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2007. Net income was net of federal and state income tax expense of approximately $878,000.

Revenue

Revenue for the nine months ended January 31, 2008 was approximately $74,723,000, as compared to approximately $52,311,000 for the nine months ended January 31, 2007. The increase in revenue for the period was primarily attributable to the acquisitions of NECS, SECS, Voacolo, TAGS, Major, Max, Empire and James. For the nine months ended January 31, 2008, there were no customers which comprised more than 10% of total revenue.  For the nine months ended January 31, 2007, we had two separate customers which comprised 19.3% and 12.9% of total revenue.

Total revenue from the specialty communication segment for the nine months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007 was approximately $65,329,000 or 87.4% and $42,884,000 or 82.0% of total revenue, respectively. Wireless infrastructure segment revenue for the nine months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007 was approximately $9,394,000 or 12.6% and $9,427,000 or 18.0% of total revenue, respectively.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue consists of direct costs on contracts, materials, direct labor, third party subcontractor services, union benefits and other overhead costs. Our cost of revenue was approximately $53,845,000 or 72.1% of revenue for the nine months ended January 31, 2008, compared to approximately $36,203,000 or 69.2% for the prior year. The dollar increase in our total cost of revenue was due to the corresponding increase in revenue during the nine months ended January 31, 2008, primarily from the revenue blend from the acquisitions of NECS, SECS, Voacolo, TAGS, Major, Max, Empire and James. The increase as a percentage of revenue is due primarily to the revenue blend attributable to our existing subsidiaries and recent acquisitions.

The specialty communication segment cost of revenue and cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue for the nine months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007 was approximately $47,359,000 and 72.5% and $29,262,000 and 68.2%, respectively. As discussed above, the dollar increase in our total cost of revenue was due to the corresponding increase in revenue during the nine months ended January 31, 2008 primarily attributable to the acquisitions completed within the last year. The increase as a percentage of revenue is due primarily to the revenue blend attributable to Walker, Clayborn, Quality, NECS and the recent acquisitions of Voacolo, TAGS, Major, Empire and James.  Secondarily, we have experienced modest gross margin pressure in certain markets from more general contractors competing for non-wireless projects and bidding down prices on this type of low-end contracting work.

Wireless infrastructure segment cost of revenue and cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue for the nine months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007 was approximately $6,486,000 and 69.0% and $6,941,000 and 73.6%, respectively. The dollar decrease in our cost of revenue is due to the corresponding decrease in revenue during the nine months ended January 31, 2008.  The decrease as a  percentage of revenue during the nine months ended January 31, 2008 was due primarily to the completion of a specific project at greater than normal gross margin during the first quarter of fiscal 2008, and secondarily from the revenue blend from Heinz, SECS and the acquisition of Max.  These decreases were offset by modest gross margin pressure as the wireless carriers delay or postpone projects, which result in contractors bidding down prices on remaining work.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

For the nine months ended January 31, 2008, total selling, general and administrative expenses were approximately $14,152,000, or 18.9% of total revenue compared to $9,874,000 or 18.9% of revenue for the same period in the prior year. The dollar increase in the selling, general and administrative expenses is due to the acquisitions of NECS, SECS, Voacolo, TAGS, Major, Max, Empire and James. Included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended January 31, 2008 were $8,079,000 for salaries, commissions, and payroll taxes. The increase in salaries and payroll taxes compared to the prior year was due to the increase in headcount as a result of the acquisitions of NECS, SECS, Voacolo, TAGS, Major, Max, Empire and James. Professional fees were $698,000, which include accounting, legal and investor relation fees. Insurance costs were $1,626,000 and rent for office facilities was $562,000.  Automobile and other travel expenses were $1,292,000 and telecommunication expenses were $367,000.

Depreciation and Amortization

For the nine months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007, depreciation was approximately $1,067,000 and $523,000, respectively.  The increase in depreciation was due to the purchase of property and equipment and the acquisition of fixed assets from acquiring NECS, SECS, Voacolo, TAGS, Major, Max, Empire and James. The amortization of customer lists and backlog for the nine months ended January 31, 2008 was approximately $549,000 as compared to $358,000 for the same period of the prior year. The increase in amortization was due to the acquisition of customer lists from NECS, SECS, Voacolo, Major, Max, and Empire and backlog from SECS, Voacolo, Major and Empire. All customer lists are amortized over a period of five to nine years from the date of their acquisition. Backlog is amortized over a period of one to three years from the date of its acquisition based on the expected completion period of the related contracts.

Interest Expense and Interest Income

For the nine months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007, interest expense was approximately $377,000 and $327,000, respectively. The increase in interest expense is due principally from the acquisition of Major, offset by a reduction in borrowings on lines of credit compared to the nine months ended January 31, 2007. As of January 31, 2008, there was $1,214,000 of total borrowings outstanding under lines of credit, compared to $4,454,217 as of January 31, 2007.

For the nine months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007, interest income was approximately $436,000 and $294,000, respectively. The increase in interest earned is due to the overall increase in cash or cash equivalents from the nine months ended January 31, 2007.

Net Income

The net income was approximately $3,157,000 for the nine months ended January 31, 2008. Net income was net of federal and state income tax expense of approximately $1,975,000.

The net income was approximately $3,231,000 for the nine months ended January 31, 2007. Net income was net of federal and state income tax expense of approximately $2,090,000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At January 31, 2008, we had working capital of approximately $26,610,000, which consisted of current assets of approximately $43,145,000 and current liabilities of $16,535,000.

Operating activities provided approximately $283,000 in cash for the nine months ended January 31, 2008.  The sources of cash from operating activities total approximately $5,201,000, comprised of $3,157,000 in net income, $1,808,000 in net non-cash charges, and a $236,000 increase in deferred revenue. The uses of cash from operating activities total approximately $4,918,000, comprised of a $1,559,000 increase in accounts receivables, a $149,000 increase in costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts, a $762,000 increase of inventory, a $463,000 increase in prepaid expenses and other assets, a $665,000 decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses, a $734,000 decrease in billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts payable and a $586,000 decrease in income tax payable.

ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
 OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Our investing activities utilized approximately $6,937,000 in cash during the nine months ended January 31, 2008, which consisted of $619,000 paid for property and equipment and $6,318,000 paid for the acquisitions of NECS, SECS, Voacolo, Major, Max, Empire and James, net of cash received.

Our financing activities used cash of approximately $6,506,000 during the nine months ended January 31, 2008. Financing activities included $5,727,000 of line of credit payments, $883,000 to pay amounts due to shareholders, $57,000 of capital lease payments and $10,000 of equity issuance costs, offset by net proceeds from the exercise of stock options of approximately $60,000, an additional $95,000 net borrowings of loans payable and a $16,000 tax benefit from the exercise of stock options.
 
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 April 10, 2007, we entered into a loan agreement with Bank of America, N.A. (BOA). The loan agreement (Loan Agreement), provides for a revolving line of credit in an amount not to exceed $12,000,000, together with a letter of credit facility not to exceed $2,000,000. We and our subsidiaries also entered into security agreements with BOA, pursuant to which we granted a security interest to BOA in all of our assets. The Loan Agreement contains customary covenants, including but not limited to (i) funded debt to tangible net worth, and (ii) minimum interest coverage ratio. The loan commitment shall expire on April 10, 2010, and we may prepay the loan at any time.  Loans under the Loan Agreement bear interest at a rate equal to BOA’s prime rate, minus one percentage point, or we have the option to elect to use the optional interest rate of LIBOR plus one hundred seventy-five basis points (3.28% LIBOR rate plus one and three quarters percent as of January 31, 2008). As of January 31, 2008, there was $644,000 of borrowings outstanding under the Loan Agreement.

At January 31, 2008, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $8,417,000 and working capital of approximately $26,610,000. With the funds available from the Loan Agreement and internally available funds, we believe that we have sufficient capital to meet our short term needs. 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.

On March 30, 2007, we acquired Voacolo. The aggregate consideration paid by us to the Voacolo selling shareholders, including acquisition transaction costs of $31,389, was $2,563,863 of which $1,250,000 was paid in cash, and we issued 116,497 shares of common stock valued at $1,282,473. In addition, we shall pay an additional $2,500,000 in cash or our common stock if Voacolo’s earnings before interest and taxes for the twelve months ended March 31, 2008 shall equal or exceed $1,100,000.  The acquisition of Voacolo expands our geographic presence in the Mid-Atlantic region and provides additional  electrical contracting services  in both high and low voltage applications, structured cabling and voice/data/video solutions, as well as the expansion of our operations into wireless video surveillance.

Effective April 5, 2007, we acquired a 60% Equity Interest and a 60% Profit Interest in TAGS, a joint venture enterprise in the City of Taian, Shandong province, the People's Republic of China, from AGS and AGS Consultants, respectively. The aggregate consideration paid by us to AGS and AGS Consultants, including acquisition transaction costs of $185,409, was $1,785,409 of which $800,000 was paid in cash, and we issued 68,085 shares of common stock valued at approximately $800,000. Founded in 1997, TAGS is a communications infrastructure engineering company serving the China market. TAGS is certified by the People's Republic of China as both a Construction Enterprise of Reform Development company and a Technically Advanced Construction Enterprise company for the Province of Shandong, which are two of the highest certifications achievable for engineering and construction based businesses in China. TAGS is also licensed in 17 other provinces and has completed projects for a diverse customer base of businesses and government institutions in over 30 cities in China.

Backlog
 
As of January 31, 2008, we had a backlog of unfilled orders of approximately $66.6 million compared to approximately $24.9 million at January 31, 2007. We define backlog as the value of work-in-hand to be provided for customers as of a specific date where the following conditions are met (with the exception of engineering change orders): (i) the price of the work to be done is fixed; (ii) the scope of the work to be done is fixed, both in definition and amount; and (iii) there is a written contract, purchase order, agreement or other documentary evidence which represents a firm commitment by the customer to pay us for the work to be performed. These backlog amounts are based on contract values and purchase orders and may not result in actual receipt of revenue in the originally anticipated period or at all. We have experienced variances in the realization of our backlog because of project delays or cancellations resulting from external market factors and economic factors beyond our control and we may experience such delays or cancellations in the future. Backlog does not include new firm commitments that may be awarded to us by our customers from time to time in future periods. These new project awards could be started and completed in this same future period. Accordingly, our backlog does not necessarily represent the total revenue that could be earned by us in future periods.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies

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

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.

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

The accounting policies identified as critical are as follows:
 
Use of Estimates

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


Accounts Receivable

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


Goodwill and Other Long-lived Assets

We assess the impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from their use and eventual disposition. Our long-lived assets subject to this evaluation include property and equipment and amortizable intangible assets. We assess the impairment of goodwill annually 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 2007 and 2006 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 Heinz/Invisinet, SECS and Max within our wireless infrastructure segment and Walker, Clayborn, Quality, NECS, Voacolo, Major, Empire and James within our specialty communications segment. Our estimates are consistent with the plans and estimates that we are using to manage the underlying businesses. If we fail to deliver products and services for these business units, or market conditions for these businesses fail to improve, our revenue and cost forecasts may not be achieved and we may incur charges for goodwill impairment, which could be significant and could have a material adverse effect on our net equity and results of operations.

Deferred Income Taxes

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

ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
 OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
We consider past performance, expected future taxable income and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the amount of the valuation allowance. Our forecast of expected future taxable income is based over such future periods that we believe can be reasonably estimated. Changes in market conditions that differ materially from our current expectations and changes in future tax laws in the U.S. may cause us to change our judgments of future taxable income. These changes, if any, may require us to adjust our existing tax valuation allowance higher or lower than the amount we have recorded.


Revenue Recognition

We generate our revenue by providing design-build engineering services for specialty communication systems and wireless infrastructure services. We provide services that include site design, technology integration, electrical contracting, construction and project management. Our engineering services report revenue pursuant to customer contracts that span varying periods of time. We report revenue from contracts when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, fees are fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured.

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

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

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


Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FAS No. 109” (FIN 48), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes is subject to significant and varied interpretations that have resulted in diverse and inconsistent accounting practices and measurements. Addressing such diversity, FIN 48 prescribes a consistent recognition threshold and measurement attribute, as well as clear criteria for subsequently recognizing, derecognizing and measuring changes in such tax positions for financial statement purposes. FIN 48 also requires expanded disclosure with respect to the uncertainty in income taxes. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of FIN 48 on May 1, 2007 had no impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or financial statement disclosures.

On September 15, 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157), which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and for interim periods within those years. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands the related disclosure requirements. On February 12, 2008, the FASB issued staff position No. FAS 157-2, “effective date of FASB No. 157 Fair Value Measurements”, which delays the effective date of SFAS 157 for non-financial assets and liabilities to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. We are currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of SFAS 157 on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows or financial statement disclosures.

ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
 OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
In September 2006, the SEC issued SAB No. 108 “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (SAB 108), which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2006 provides interpretive guidance on how registrants should quantify financial statement misstatements. Under SAB 108 registrants are required to consider both a “rollover” method, which focuses primarily on the income statement impact of misstatements, and the “iron curtain” method, which focuses primarily on the balance sheet impact of misstatements. The effects of prior year uncorrected errors include the potential accumulation of improper amounts that may result in a material misstatement on the balance sheet or the reversal of prior period errors in the current period that result in a material misstatement of the current period income statement amounts. Adjustments to current or prior period financial statements would be required in the event that after application of various approaches for assessing materiality of a misstatement in current period financial statements and consideration of all relevant quantitative factors, a misstatement is determined to be material. The application of the provisions of SAB 108 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial, position results of operations and cash flows or financial statement disclosures.

In February, 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (SFAS 159), which permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We have not yet determined the impact SFAS 159 may have on our results of operations or financial position.

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

ITEM 3 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as of January 31, 2008. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Based on our evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are designed at a reasonable assurance level and are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

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

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