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.
