Mr. Ted Yu

Securities and Exchange Commission

100 F. Street, NE

Washington, D.C. 20549

Dear Mr. Yu:

Pursuant to your letter dated August 17, 2005 we are hereby submitting for your review our amended registration statement on Form SB-2.  Below please find our responses to your comments.  Enclosed you will also find three copies of our amended registration statement on From SB-2.

Please note that we have terminated our investment agreement with BTF, LLC and the common stock shares that were to be registered pursuant to the investment agreement have been removed from our registration statement.  Furthermore, the shares underlying the conversion of our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock have also been removed from the registration statement.

Comment 1

We note that under the terms of the Investment Agreement with BTF, LLC, the company will issue common shares to BTF, and BTF will be required to purchase these shares, only if the common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board.  We further note that the purchase price for the shares will be 93% of the average of the two lowest bid prices of the stock during the five-day period following the notice of exercise of the put.


As stated in our March 31, 2001 Update to the Current Issues ad Rule-Making Projects Outline, the registration of the resale of the shares issuable under an equity line of credit is permissible only if the private placement portion of the equity line (i.e., the issuance of the shares to the equity line investor) is completed prior to the filing of the resale registration statement.  Given that the equity line’s purchase price is based on the trading price of common stock in an non-existent public market, it does not appear the terms for the purchase price have actually been set. Accordingly, the private placement portion of the equity line does not appear to be complete.


Please remove from the registration statement the common shares issuable pursuant to the Investment Agreement.  Please ensure to update all sections of the amended registration statement to reflect the removal of the shares issuable under the Investment Agreement (e.g., the risk factors on page 18 and “Dilution” section on page 22).


Alternatively, if you wish, you may withdraw the registration statement, complete the private placement of common stock to BTF, LLC, and file a new registration statement for the resale of the common stock by BTF, LLC.

No longer relevant because subject matter has been removed from the registration statement.

Comment 2

Similarly, we believe that the private placement of the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, which have a conversion rate tied to the market price, cannot be completed until the terms of the transaction are fixed.  In this regard, we believe that the absence of an existing public market for the common shares means that there has been no meeting of the minds as to the conversion price. Accordingly, please remove from the registration statement the shares issuable upon conversion of the preferred stock.

No longer relevant because subject matter has been removed from the registration statement.

Comment 3

Please update the financial statements and MD&A section to include the interim period of June 30, 2005, as required by Item 310(g) of Regulation S-B.

We updated the financial statements and the MD &A section in the body of the registration statement.  The MD& A section begins on page 43 and the financial statements begin on page F-1.

Comment 4

Include currently dated and signed consents of the independent accountants in each amendment to the Form SB-2.  Refer to Item 302 for Regulation S-T.

We have included currently dated and signed consents of the independent accountants in this amendment to our SB-2 registration statement as submitted with this letter.

Comment 5

Please revise the prospectus to eliminate all redundant disclosure.  We note, for example, that the legal proceeding discussion is repeated at least three times in the prospectus.  The names of the selling shareholders are also repeated numerous times in the prospectus.  Your “Description of Property” section repeats the information already provided on page 42.


We have attempted to eliminate all redundant information throughout the registration statement document and we have specifically removed the redundancy as it applies to selling shareholders, the legal proceedings and “Description of Property.”

Comment 6

Please avoid capitalizing commonly-understood terms such as “Directors”, Executive”, Officers”, “Company”, and “Common Stock”.

We have avoided using capitalized terms such as Directors, Executives, Officers, Company and Common stock and have attempted to change all references to the above terms to lower case.

Comment 7

Please include on the cover page only the information required by Item 501 of Regulation S-B or that is otherwise material.  All other information should be removed from the cover page.  For example, please delete from the cover page the names of the warranty holders and the holders of common stock.  Given that much of the information provided on the cover page is repeated in the prospectus summary, please revise both the cover page and the summary to eliminate redundant information.  Also note the Item 501 of Regulation S-B required that you limit the cover page to one page only.

We have modified the cover page to only include only the information required by Item 501 of Regulation S-B or that is otherwise material and have removed redundant information.  Further, we have limited the cover page to only one page.

Morse JT WROS, and Research Drive Equities, LLC were issued by us pursuant to our Private Placement Memorandum, as amended. The shares held by Reza Zarif and Kambiz Mahdi  were Founders Shares. The shares held by eFund Capital Partners, LLC were issued pursuant to a stock purchase and strategic relationship agreement executed on May 20, 2004.  The shares held by Ashford Capital, LLC were assigned by eFund Capital Partners, LLC.


We are registering 3,328,125 shares of common stock by the shareholders listed above which represents 100% of the common stock currently issued and outstanding.


Series B Convertible Preferred Stock

The 12,500 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock held by Reza Zarif, Kambiz Mahdi and eFund Capital Partners, LLC were issued by us as consideration for an investment agreement totaling $1,250,000 dated December 31, 2004. As of July 18, 2005 there were 12,500 shares of Series B Convertible stock outstanding. Each share of Series B Stock shall be converted into a number of shares of Common Stock that is equal to each share of Series B being divided by the average of the 3 lowest intraday bids in the twenty (20) days prior to conversion , or $0.10, which ever is greater, multiplied by 100 (1 divided by x, multiplied by 100), or 125 shares per Series B, whichever is greater.  The minimum conversion price which Series B shareholders shall be to convert their Series B shares to common stock shall be $0.10.


We are, therefore, registering 3,125,000 shares of common stock to cover 200% common stock shares we could issue upon conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred stock assuming that the conversion price will be $0.80.


Our common stock is not traded on any public market.  Selling stockholders will sell at a fixed price of $0.80 per share until our common shares are quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board and thereafter at prevailing market prices, or privately negotiated prices. The offering price of $0.80 per share was determined arbitrarily by us.  The offering price is not based upon our net worth, total asset value, or any other objective measure of value based on accounting measurements.  Should a market develop or occur for our securities, the market price may be far less than the offering price.  If and when our common stock is listed on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board the price will be established according to the demand of our common stock and will fluctuate based on the demand for our shares.

Comment 8

Please clarify if the common shares underlying the warrants are being registered for resale.  Your introductory paragraph states that the 12,078,125 shares currently registered are outstanding common stock, common stock underlying Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, and stock issuable pursuant to the put right held by BTF, LLC.  Based on this language, it does not appear that any shares underlying the warrants are being registered.  In addition, in the appropriate section, please provide a description of the terms of the warrants and file the warrant agreements as exhibits.  In particular, please tell us whether or not the warrants have a fixed exercise price.  We note that there are two classes of warrants.

We are not registering the warrants sold to our stock holders in our private placement memorandum dated June 16, 2004 and as restated and amended on November 26, 2004.

Comment 9

Please provide a clearer and more concrete description of your business, particularly the services your company provides.  To that end, avoid using vague statements or phrases, such as “we take responsibility for new product introduction and implementation,” “logistic management,” “we can assume supply chain responsibility,” and “end-to-end services.”  Instead, provide clear descriptions of your services and the duties you perform for your customers.  Your revised discussion should give readers a better understanding of your customer base, such as the size of your typical customer and the finished products they sell.  Corresponding revisions should be made to the “Description of Business” section on page 36.

We modified our business description as set forth below.

Previous Text.

We incorporated in the State of California on July,7, 1995 as Probe Manufacturing Industries, Inc. On April 21, 2005 we reincorporated from California to Nevada whereby we changed our name to Probe Manufacturing, Inc. From our formation until present we have been a provider of advanced electronics manufacturing services, or EMS, to original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, primarily in the industrial, automotive, semiconductor, medical, communication and military industries.   Our strategy is to provide customers with a collaborative end-to-end service that involves engineering, supply chain management, and manufacturing services.  Furthermore, we take responsibility for new product introduction and implementation, and logistics management, with the goal of delivering a complete packaged product. Once a complete packaged product is delivered, we also provide after-sale services such as repair and warranty services.


 Substantially all of our manufacturing services are provided on a turnkey basis, whereby we purchase customer-specified components from our suppliers, assemble the components on printed circuit boards and perform post-production testing upon request by our customers. However, we can assume supply chain responsibility at any time during the product life cycle.   We offer our customers flexible, "just-in-time" delivery programs allowing product shipments to be closely coordinated with our customers' inventory requirements. Additionally, we complete the assembly of our customers' products at our facilities by integrating printed circuit board assemblies into other elements of our customers' products upon request by our customers.


Our marketing strategy is to convince potential customers to engage us as an engineering and supply chain partner, rather than to simply change EMS suppliers whereby we collaborate with the customer through the entire process.  To do this, we perform a full process audit on prospective customer’s operations to ensure our objectives are aligned and make recommendations for integration of our processes to their technology, quality, and delivery process to achieve the highest positive outcome and lowest total cost.  This process has been an extremely effective way to demonstrate the ways we can improve the targeted customer’s business performance.

Amended Text On Page 5 and 37 .

We incorporated in the State of California on July 7, 1995 as Probe Manufacturing Industries, Inc. On April 21, 2005 we re-domiciled from California to Nevada whereby we changed our name to Probe Manufacturing, Inc. Our business focuses on manufacturing electronics and providing services to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) of industrial, automotive, semiconductor, medical, communication, military, and high technology products. The services that we provide are commonly referred to as electronics manufacturing services (EMS). We offer our customers comprehensive and integrated design and manufacturing services, from initial product design to production and direct order fulfillment.

Our engineering services include product design, printed circuit board layout, prototyping, and test development. Our supply chain management solutions include purchasing, management of materials, and order fulfillment. Our manufacturing services include surface mount, hole assembly, cable assembly, mechanical assembly, and fully integrated box build systems for high complexity electronics.


For example, Probe builds a Natural Gas Electronic Control Unit for Quantum Technologies which is used in GM’s alternative fuel engines. We have supported this customer from the inception of its product. Our services started with full design review for manufacturability and testability of the product.  Once the design review and recommendations were completed we source the materials and procure the components. We then take responsibility for assembling the components on to the boards, assembling the mechanical parts, installing the product inside the enclosure, and finally we perform a full functional test. Then the finished good product is shipped to the customer, who integrates it in to their final fuel delivery system and it’s delivered to GM.


The majority of our revenue is driven from manufacturing a mix of complex Printed Circuit Card assemblies.  Some of the examples of our customers finished goods products include automated fluid dispensing equipments, high performance gas and liquid delivery process modules, which are used in semiconductor fabrication equipment, photonics instrumentation to measure fiber optics, electronic control unit for hydrogen, natural gas, and propane engines, electronic control unit for welding equipment, portable ultrasound and electro-simulation therapy equipment, and target scoring systems for military.

Comment 10

Indicate whether you commenced business operations or generated revenues from your operations.  The fact that your business has traditionally suffered net losses should also be disclosed.

Discussion of financial matters was removed from our business description, therefore, this comment is no longer relevant in this section.  Our financial condition in discussed in great detail in the financial section beginning on F-1 and in our MD&A section starting on page 43.

Comment 11

Item 501(a)(8) of Regulation S-B requires that you include the price range or the formula or method to be used to calculate the offering price.  While you may state that selling shareholders will sell at prevailing market prices or privately-negotiated prices once the shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, they may not sell at privately negotiated prices other than $0.80 per share before the shares begin trading on a market.  Revise the disclosure under “Trading Market” on page 8 accordingly.

Our “Trading Market” disclosure was modified as set forth below.

Previous Text.

TRADING MARKET

There is currently no public trading market for our securities. Selling stockholders will sell at a fixed price of $.80 per share or privately negotiated prices until our common shares are quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board and thereafter at prevailing market prices, or privately negotiated prices.

Comment 12

In your response letter, please list all classes of the company’s securities held by BTF, LLC, such as warrants, notes, or preferred securities.  Describe in detail any conversion or exercise feature of these securities.  We note, for example, that there are 440 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock; indicate whether BTF, LLC owns any of these shares.  Finally, please tell us if there are any relationships between BTF, LLC and the other selling shareholders.

BTF, LLC does not own any classes of our securities.  Furthermore, we have terminated our investment agreement and the common stock shares that were to be registered pursuant to the investment agreement with BTF, LLC have been removed from our registration statement.  There are no relationships between BTF, LLC and our other selling shareholders.

Comment 13

The net loss, net loss per share and weighted average number of common stock outstanding presented on page 10 for fiscal year 2004 does not agree with the information presented in the financial statements on pages F-2 and F-3.  Please revise as necessary.

Our Summary Financials have been modified as set forth below.

Comment 14

Please revise your subheadings so that they better summarize the risks discussed.  Currently, many of your subheadings do not summarize the actual or all risks discussed.  Examples include, “We have an accumulated deficit…” and “If we lose key senior management personnel…”


We have attempted to modify all our subheadings so that they better summarize the risks discussed.  The risk section can be found on pages 8-18 in the amended registration statement.  Per your comment we specifically changed the two of the risk subheadings as stated below.

Previous Text

WE HAVE AN ACCUMULATED DEFICIT AND MAY INCUR ADDITIONAL LOSSES, THEREFORE WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO MEET OUR DEBT SERVICE OBLIGATIONS.


IF WE LOSE KEY SENIOR MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL OUR BUSINESS COULD BE NEGATVIELY AFFECTED.

Amended Text on Page 9 and 14 respectively.

WE HAVE AN ACCUMULATED DEFICIT AND MAY INCUR ADDITIONAL LOSSES, THEREFORE WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO OBTAIN THE ADDITIONAL FINANCING NEEDED FOR WORKING CAPITAL, CAPITAL EXPEDITURES AND TO MEET OUR DEBT SERVICE OBLIGATIONS.


WE CURRENTLY DO NOT HAVE LONG TERM CONTRACTS WITH OUR EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND IF WE LOSE KEY SENIOR MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL OUR BUSINESS COULD BE NEGATVIELY AFFECTED. FURTHER, WE WILL NEED TO RECRUIT AND RETAIN ADDITIONAL SKILLED MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL AND IF WE ARE NOT ABLE TO DO SO, OUR BUSINESS AND OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE TO GROW COULD BE HARMED.

Comment 15& 16

Comment #15


The second paragraph largely repeats the information provided in the first paragraph.  Please revise to eliminate any redundancy.


Comment #16


The MD&A section indicates that the auditor concluded your ability to continue as a going concern is conditioned on the receipt of additional funding “and/or” the reduction of operating costs.  Your risk factor mentions only the receipt of additional funding.  Please revise to reconcile this inconsistency.

We have modified the risk section pertaining to our independent accounts having issued a going concern opinion….as stated below.

OUR INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS HAVE ISSUED A GOING CONCERN OPINION AND IF WE CANNOT OBTAIN  ADDITIONAL FINANCING, WE MAY HAVE TO CURTAIL OPERATIONS AND  MAY ULTIMATELY  CEASE  TO  EXIST.


Our audited financial statements for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004 reflect a net loss of ($918,590) and negative cash flows from operations of ($1,210,016).  These conditions require sufficient additional funding or alternative sources of capital to meet our working capital needs.  We currently receive capital under six different revolving lines of credit from eFund Capital Partners, LLC, Ashford Capital, LLC, Edward Lassiter, Bill Duncan, Rufina Paniego and the Benner Exemption Trust that allows us to draw up to $725,000 and anticipate we will continue to be able to have access to the money through the revolving lines of credit. As of July 18, 2005, we have drawn on $500,000 of our revolving credit lines and only have $225,000 left upon which to draw.  These conditions raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern if we do not acquire sufficient additional funding or alternative sources of capital to meet our working capital needs.  Unless we obtain additional financing through operations, investment capital or otherwise, there is significant doubt we will be able to meet our obligations as they come due and will be unable to execute our business strategy.  However, if we are not able to draw down on or use the funds available in the revolving lines of credit and cannot raise funds on acceptable terms, or achieve positive cash flow, we may be forced to curtail operations or may ultimately cease to exist.


As of December 31, 2004 our monthly operating costs and interest expenses averaged $616,497.91 per month.  As income from operations is not sufficient to meet these expenses, we must depend on other sources of capital to fund our operations.  We currently receive capital under six different revolving lines of credit from eFund Capital Partners, LLC, Ashford Capital, LLC, Edward Lassiter, Bill Duncan, Rufina Paniego and the Benner Exemption Trust that allows us to draw up $725,000 and anticipate we will continue to be able to have access to the money through the revolving lines of credit.  As of March 25,2 005 we have drawn on $500,000 of our revolving credit lines and only have $225,000 left upon which to draw.  Therefore, the funds



available may not be sufficient to sustain our operations if we experience a slow down of customer orders, if one of our customers decides to terminate our agreement or other adverse economic effect.  There can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining additional capital.  If we issue additional shares in connection with debt or equity financing, this will serve to dilute the value of our common stock and existing shareholders’ positions.  If we are unsuccessful in obtaining additional funding to finance our operations, there is a serious doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern and we may be forced to seek the protection of bankruptcy laws.

Comment 17

Please quantify your debt service requirements and the cash needed to meet those requirements.

We have addressed the comment as stated below.

WE HAVE AN ACCUMULATED DEFICIT AND MAY INCUR ADDITIONAL LOSSES, THEREFORE WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO MEET OUR DEBT SERVICE OBLIGATIONS.


As of December 31, 2004, we had liabilities of ($2,995,378). Our debt could limit our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, debt service requirements, or other purposes in the future, as needed; to plan for, or react to, changes in technology and in our business and competition; and to react in the event of an economic downturn.


We may not be able to meet our debt service obligations. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow or obtain funds for required payments, or if we fail to comply with covenants in our revolving lines of credit, we will be in default.

WE DEPEND ON A LIMITED NUMBER OF SUPPLIERS TO PROCURE OUR PARTS FOR PRODUCTION WHICH IF AVAILABILITY OF PRODUTS BECOMES COMPROMISED IT COULD ADD TO OUR COST OF GOODS SOLD AND AFFECT OUR REVENUE GROWTH.


We depend upon a number of suppliers for our products. There is an inherent risk that certain products will be unavailable for prompt delivery or, in some cases, discontinued.  We will have only limited control over any third-party manufacturer as to quality controls, timeliness of production and deliveries and various other factors.  Should the availability of products be compromised, it could force us to develop alternative products, which could add to the cost of goods sold and compromise delivery commitments.

WE MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY SHORTAGES OF REQUIRED ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS.   IN ADDITION, WE DEPEND ON A LIMITED NUMBER OF SUPPLIERS TO PROCURE OUR PARTS FOR PRODUCTION WHICH IF AVAILABILITY OF PRODUTS BECOMES COMPROMISED IT COULD ADD TO OUR COST OF GOODS SOLD AND AFFECT OUR REVENUE GROWTH.


At various times, there have been shortages of some of the electronic components that we use, as a result of strong demand for those components or problems experienced by suppliers. These unanticipated component shortages have resulted in curtailed production or delays in production, which prevented us from making scheduled shipments to customers in the past and may do so in the future. Our inability to make scheduled shipments could cause us to experience a reduction in our sales and an increase in our costs and could adversely affect our relationship with existing customers as well as prospective customers. Component shortages may also increase our cost of goods sold because we may be required to pay higher prices for components in short supply and redesign or reconfigure products to accommodate substitute components. As a result, component shortages could adversely affect our operating results for a particular period due to the resulting revenue shortfall and increased manufacturing or component costs.  In addition, we depend upon a number of major suppliers for our products.  We do not have long-term agreements with our major suppliers, except for our purchase orders.   There is an inherent risk that certain products will be unavailable for prompt delivery or, in some cases, discontinued.  We will have only limited control over any third-party manufacturer as to quality controls, timeliness of production and deliveries and various other factors.  Lack of long-term agreement with our major suppliers could also impact material availability and could delay shipments.  Should the availability of products be compromised, it could also force us to develop alternative products, which could add to the cost of goods sold and compromise delivery commitments.  

Comment 19

We note the reference to “any shares issued to [your principal shareholders, directors, and executive officers] under various revolving credit facilities.”  In your response letter, please describe the nature and terms of these revolving credit facilities, particularly with respect to the possible issuance of “shares.”

The holders of the notes do not have discretion in deciding weather to accept interest in the form of cash or common stock.  None of the stock issued as interest pursuant to the lines of credit is being registered under this prospectus or being offered for resale.

Comment 20

Please discuss with more specificity how the listed factors could harm your customers and, in turn, your business.  The current discussion is generic and could apply to any company in any industry.

We have addressed the comment as stated below.

WE DEPEND ON LOW TO MEDIUM VOLUME HIGH MIX TECHNOLOGY PRODUCTS THAT ARE BUILT DOMESTICALLY.  THESE APPLICATIONS INCLUDE INDUSTRIAL INSTRUMENTATION AND SCIENTIFIC COMMUNICATION, SEMICONDUCTOR AND AUTOMOTIVE PRODUCTS, WHICH CONTINUALLY PRODUCE TECHNOLOGICALLY ADVANCED PRODUCTS WITH SHORT LIFE CYCLES; OUR INABILITY TO CONTINUALLY MANUFACTURE SUCH PRODUCTS ON A COST-EFFECTIVE BASIS COULD HARM OUR BUSINESS.


During the twelve months ended December 31, 2004, we derived approximately 30% of our revenues from customers in the industrial product sector, whose products include adhesive dispensing equipment, motion controllers; approximately 40% of our revenues from customers in the semiconductor industry, whose products include mass flow controllers, and evaluation modules for integrated circuit manufactures; approximately 19% of our revenues from providers of communications infrastructure, whose products include equipment for optical networks, cellular base stations, radio frequency devices, telephone exchange and access switches and broadband devices; approximately 3% of our revenues from the automotive industry, whose products are electronic control units for alternative fuel systems.  The remaining 8% of our revenues was derived from customers in a variety of other industries, including the medical, consumer and military industries.

     



Factors affecting these industries in general could seriously harm our customers and, as a result, us. These factors include:

·

rapid changes in technology, which result in short product life cycles;

·

seasonality of demand for our customers’ products;

·

the inability of our customers to successfully market their products, and the failure of these products to gain widespread commercial acceptance; and

·

recessionary periods in our customers’ markets

Factors affecting these industries in general could seriously harm our customers and, as a result, us. These factors include:

·

Rapid changes in technology, which result in short product life cycles, often reduce the volume and market share for our customers and ultimately us. It will lead to the loss of previous design wins and frequent new product introductions and substantial development costs. This could result in loss of revenue and it could adversely affect our operating income.


·

Seasonality of demand for our customers’ products would force our customers to manage their inventories for seasonal variations and inventory management and excess build ups. Customers could dramatically increase their request for production quantities, which could cause lead time problems with getting the components or we may not be able to build enough products which could have loss of revenue for our customers. As a result we could lose these customers and it would adversely affect our projected sales. If the projected sales will not materialize, we will have loss of revenue and reduced margins.  Any cancellation or delay in production would also have the same adverse effect on our sales projections and profitability.


·

The inability of our customers to successfully market their products, and the failure of these products to gain widespread commercial acceptance; could effect their long term business plans and sales.  Our success depends upon the ability of our customers to successfully market their products and if they fail, it could result in cancellations or rescheduling orders lower sales volume and operating income.


Recessionary periods in our customers’ markets will affect both our customers and our overall business output. It would require dramatic changes to the overall business model, layoffs and major adjustments to the business overhead.  If we fail to adjust to new recessionary environment, our business would be adversely affected and we may not be able to compete successfully against other companies in our industry and achieve profitability.

Comment 21

We note that your ODM products may compete with the products of OEMs.  Given that your business provides advanced electronics manufacturing services to OEMs, as noted in the summary, consider including a separate risk factor discussing the risks created by the fact that your ODM products may compete with the products of you OEM customers.  We note, for example, disclosure on page 42 that you already compete with current and prospective customers.

We have added the following risk disclosure.

Amended Text on Page 13.


OUR ODM PRODUCTS CURRENTLY COMPETE WITH CURRENT AND PROSPECTIVE PRODUCTS OF OUR OEM CUSTOMERS WHICH COULD PROVOKE OUR CUSTOMERS TO CEASE ITS BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP WITH US AND WE MAY INCUR SIGNIFICANT LOSES AS A RESULT.


Flexibility and time to market are now forcing our OEM customers to turn to us for Outside Design Manufacturing (ODM) services. As a result we could begin to compete with our OEMs products. OEMs are aware that they are financing future competition, but they have no choice if they are to compete in today’s existing market. However, some of these customers could terminate their relationship with us and seek an injunction against or future us of their underlying technology in our ODM product, which could result in loss of these customers and loss of revenue for Probe.

Furthermore, if we continue to produce our ODM products we could also face allegations of patent infringement and trademark infringement by our customers. In the event of an infringement claim against us, we would absorb substantial costs in defending the claim and if we lose we have to pay the amount of any resulting adverse final judgment against us or settlement. This could have an adverse effect on our business both with our profitability and reputation in the market.

Comment 22


Because your business appears to depend substantially on sales to your five largest customers, please file all material agreements with these customers as exhibits to the registration statement and disclose the material terms of the agreements later in your document, including the identities of the customers.  See Item 601(b)(10)(i)(B) of Regulation S-B.


We do not have long term contracts with any of our customers.  However, we have attached the sample purchase order agreements as exhibits with our submission.  Please see exhibits 10.19 thru 10.22.


Comment 23

In the appropriate section, please disclose the termination and renewal provisions in any contracts with you principal customers.  If these contracts are expected to terminate in the near future, please disclose the expected termination dates.  If you do not have any long-term agreements with your principal customers, please disclose this fact in the risk factor discussion.

We have addressed the comment as stated below.

THE MAJORITY OF OUR SALES COME FROM A SMALL NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS; IF WE LOSE ANY OF THESE CUSTOMERS, OUR SALES COULD DECLINE SIGNIFICANTLY.


Sales to our five largest customers have represented a significant percentage of our net sales in recent periods. Our five largest customers accounted for approximately 86% and 79% of net sales during the twelve months ended December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003 respectively.

     

Our principal customers have varied from year to year, and our principal customers may not continue to purchase services from us at current levels, if at all. Significant reductions in sales to any of these customers, or the loss of major customers, would seriously harm our business. If we are not able to timely replace expired, canceled or reduced contracts with new business, our revenues could be harmed.

Sales to our five largest customers have represented a significant percentage of our net sales in recent periods. Our five largest customers accounted for approximately 86% and 79% of net sales during the six twelve months ended December 31, 2004 and December 31,2003 respectively.

     

Our principal customers have varied from year to year, and our principal customers may not continue to purchase services from us at current levels, if at all. Significant reductions in sales to any of these customers, or the loss of major customers, would seriously harm our business. If we are not able to timely replace expired, canceled or reduced contracts with new business, our revenues could be harmed.

The part number, quantity,  price, workmanship standards, and scheduled delivery dates of the Products to be Manufactured are determined by written purchase orders given by our customers and accepted or confirmed by us in writing or via email.  We agree to deliver the Products manufactured pursuant to each purchase order in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the purchase order. Probe manufactures hundreds of different types of assemblies on an ongoing basis and each product has a purchase order associated with it.  Please see attcahed filing of several samples of these purchase orders.

We do not have any long term agreements with our customers, and our principal customers may not continue to purchase services from us. The duration of a purchase order is usually from 30 to 90 days. These purchase orders could be cancelled or rescheduled at any time. Significant reductions in sales to any of these customers would reduce our projected sales, adversely affect our profits, and seriously harm our business.

Our top five customers include, Celerity Group, Newport Corporation, Asymtek Corporation, Jetline Engineering, and Apogee.

Comment 24

The latter half of the discussion appears to mitigate the risks stemming from currency fluctuations. Please revise to focus on the risks, not the mitigating factors.

We removed the mitigating language from the risk disclosure as stated below.

Previous Text

WE ARE EXPOSED TO FLUCTUATIONS IN FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATES BECAUSE WE PROCURE PRODUCTS FROM SUPPLIERS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES AND AS A RESULT OF THE VOLATILITY IN THE EXCHANGE RATES BETWEEN THE FOREIGN



CURRENCIES AND THE FUNCTIONAL CURRENCIES OF OUR ENTITIES COULD SERIOUSLY HARM OUR BUSINESS, OPERATING RESULTS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION.


We transact business in various foreign countries because we procure products from suppliers in foreign countries. As a result, we are exposed to fluctuations in foreign currencies. We have currency exposure arising from both sales and purchases denominated in currencies other than the functional currencies of our entities. Volatility in the exchange rates between the foreign currencies and the functional currencies of our entities could seriously harm our business, operating results and financial condition. We try to manage our foreign currency exposure by entering into foreign exchange forward contracts. Mainly, we enter into foreign exchange forward contracts intended to reduce the short-term impact of foreign currency fluctuations on current assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency. These exposures are primarily, but not limited to, cash, receivables, payables and inter-company balances, in currencies other than the functional currency unit of the operating entity. We will first evaluate and, to the extent possible, use non-financial techniques, such as currency of invoice, leading and lagging payments, receivable management or local borrowing to reduce transaction exposure before taking steps to minimize remaining exposure with financial instruments. Foreign exchange forward contracts are treated as cash flow hedges and such contracts generally expire within three months. The credit risk of these forward contracts is minimal since the contracts are with large financial institutions. The gains and losses on forward contracts generally offset the gains and losses on the assets, liabilities and transactions hedged.

Comment 28

Please expand your discussion of any known factors that management currently believes may affect the “new outsourcing opportunities.”  Readers should get a better sense of the likelihood of the occurrence of the described risks.

The risk factor has been modified as stated below.

Previous Text

WE DEPEND ON THE CONTINUING TREND OF OUTSOURCING BY OEMS, IF THIS TREND CHANGES OR DECLINES OUR BUISSESS COULD BE SIGNIFICANTLY HARMED.


Future growth in our revenue depends on new outsourcing opportunities in which we assume additional manufacturing and supply chain management responsibilities from OEMs. To the extent that these opportunities are not available, either because OEMs decide to perform these functions internally or because they use other providers of these services, our future growth would be limited.

Amended Text on Page 15.

WE DEPEND ON THE CONTINUING TREND OF OUTSOURCING BY OEMS, IF THIS TREND CHANGES OR DECLINES OUR BUSINESS COULD BE SIGNIFICANTLY HARMED.


Future growth in our revenue depends on new outsourcing opportunities in which we assume additional manufacturing and supply chain management responsibilities from OEMs. Although, in today’s economic climate outsourcing is the trend, in the course of business decision OEMs must make a decision whether to build their products in house or outsource it.  Lack of capacity by outsourcing companies, or protectionist policies could effect OEMs decision to build in house instead of outsourcing.  However, growing complexity of electronics packaging requires additional equipment and expertise.  If the OEM decides to build its product in-house, they have to invest in capital equipment and expertise.  To the extent that outsourcing opportunities stay in-house and are not available, our future growth would be limited.   

Comment 29

Please explain in a clearer manner how the penny stock restrictions will limit shareholders’ ability to resell the common stock.  For example, you should explain in a clearer manner why shareholders may find it “more difficult” to resell the shares.

The risk factor has been modified as stated below.

Previous Text

ANY MARKET THAT DEVELOPS IN SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK WILL BE SUBJECT TO THE PENNY STOCK RESTRICTIONS WHICH WILL CREATE A LACK OF LIQUIDITY AND MAKE TRADING DIFFICULT OR IMPOSSIBLE.


Until our shares of common stock qualify for inclusion in the NASDAQ system, if ever, the trading of our securities, if any, will be in the over-the-counter markets which are commonly referred to as the OTCBB as maintained by the NASD. As a result, an investor may find it difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the price of our securities.


The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in "penny stocks." Penny stocks (generally) are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on NASDAQ, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. Prior to a transaction in a penny stock, a broker-dealer is required to:


·

Deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC;

·

Provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock;

·

Explain the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction;

·

Provide monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account;

·

Make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receives the purchaser's; and

·

Provide a written agreement to the transaction.

·

These requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for our stock. Because our shares are subject to the penny stock rules, you may find it more difficult to sell your shares.

Penny stocks (generally) are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on NASDAQ, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. Prior to a transaction in a penny stock, a broker-dealer is required to:


·

Deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC;

·

Provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock;

·

Explain the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction;

·

Provide monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account;

·

Make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser; and

·

Provide a written agreement to the transaction.


These requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for our stock. Because our shares are subject to the penny stock rules, you may find it more difficult to sell your shares.  The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements may discourage broker-dealers from recommending transactions in our securities, which could severely limit the liquidity of our securities and consequently adversely affect the market price for our securities.

IF AND WHEN OUR SECURITIES BECOME QUOTED ON THE OVER-THE-COUNTER BULLETIN BOARD OR OTHER EXCHANGE OUR SECURITIES MAY BE THINLY TRADED WHICH MAY NOT PROVIDE LIQUIDITY FOR OUR INVESTORS


If our securities are quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board or other exchange our securities may be thinly traded which may not provide liquidity for our investors. The Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board is an inter-dealer, over-the-counter market that provides significantly less liquidity than the NASDAQ Stock Market or national or regional exchanges. Securities traded on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board are usually thinly traded, highly volatile, have fewer market makers and are not followed by analysts. The Securities and Exchange Commission's order handling rules, which apply to NASDAQ-listed securities, do not apply to securities quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board. Quotes for stocks included on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board are not listed in newspapers. Therefore, prices for securities traded solely on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board may be difficult to obtain and holders of our securities may be unable to resell their securities at or near their original acquisition price, or at any price.


Investors must contact a broker-dealer to trade over-the-counter bulletin board securities. As a result, you may not be able to buy or sell our securities at the times that you may wish. Even though our securities are quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board may not permit our investors to sell securities when and in the manner that they wish. Because there are no automated systems for negotiating trades on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, they are conducted via telephone. In times of heavy market volume, the limitations of this process may result in a significant increase in the time it takes to execute investor orders. Therefore, when investors place market orders to buy or sell a specific number of shares at the current market price it is possible for the price of a stock to go up or down significantly during the lapse of time between placing a market order and its execution.

Comment 31

Please describe in greater detail each planned use of proceeds.  For example, with respect to the “repayment of debt,” please identify the specific indebtedness that will be repaid with the proceeds.  With respect to “Expansion of Internal Operations,” you should describe the nature of the business expansion that will be funded with the proceeds.  Furthermore, quantify the proceeds you will receive upon exercise of the warrants.


This prospectus relates to shares of common stock that may be offered and sold from time to time by certain selling stockholders.  We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares.  Therefore, this section has been modified to state this change on page 18.


Comment 32


We note your statement “the selling stockholders may have sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of, or may sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of, at any time or from time to time since the date on which they provided the information regarding the shares beneficially owned..”  Note that Item 507 of Regulation S-B requires the disclosure of the “amount to be offered for the security holder’s account.”  Therefore, please ensure that the selling stockholder table reflects the exact amount of shares offered for resale by each identified shareholder.  Delete the statement quoted above; such statement suggests that the table does not necessarily reflect the correct amounts of securities offered.

SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS


Based upon information available to us as of July 18, 2005 the following table sets forth the name of the selling stockholders, the number of shares owned, the number of shares registered by this prospectus and the number and percent of outstanding shares that the selling stockholders will own after the sale of the registered shares, assuming all of the shares are sold. The information provided in the table and discussions below has been obtained from the selling stockholders. The selling stockholders may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, or may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, at any time or from time to time since the date on which they provided the information regarding the shares beneficially owned, all or a portion of the shares of common stock beneficially owned in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933. As used in this prospectus, "selling stockholder" includes donees, pledgees, transferees or other



successors-in-interest selling shares received from the named selling stockholder as a gift, pledge, distribution or other non-sale related transfer.


Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d) promulgated by the Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Unless otherwise noted, each person or group identified possesses sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares, subject to community property laws where applicable.


In some cases, the “Shares Being Offered Column will reflect a higher number of shares than the “Ownership Before the Offering” column.  This occurs when the selling shareholder has not received shares being registered on this registration statement because the selling shareholder holds shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, warrant or other right to acquire shares of common stock but has not yet exercised that right.

SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS


Based upon information available to us as of October 3, 2005 the following table sets forth the name of the selling stockholders, the number of shares owned, the number of shares registered by this prospectus and the number and percent of outstanding shares that the selling stockholders will own after the sale of the registered shares, assuming all of the shares are sold as used in this prospectus. "Selling stockholder" includes donees, pledges, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling shares received from the named selling stockholder as a gift, pledge, distribution or other non-sale related transfer.


Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d) promulgated by the Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Unless otherwise noted, each person or group identified possesses sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares, subject to community property laws where applicable.

Comment 33

Please refer to the paragraph right before the selling shareholder table (In some cases…”).  Note that, pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, a person is deemed to beneficially own any securities that may be received within 60 days, including those received upon the exercise or conversion of another security.  Therefore, please revise the “Number of Shares Beneficially Owned Before the Offering” column to include any shares issuable pursuant to the conversion or exercise of another security, such as the Series B stock and the warrants.  Also delete the paragraph in question.  Similarly revise the beneficial ownership table appearing on page 33.


The text “In some cases, the “Shares Being Offered Column will reflect a higher number of shares than the “Ownership Before the Offering” column.  This occurs when the selling shareholder has not received shares being registered on this registration statement because the selling shareholder holds shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, warrant or other right to acquire shares of common stock but has not yet exercised that right” has been removed and is no longer relevant because no securities converting into common stock are being registered pursuant to this prospectus.


Comment 34

Please refer to footnote (2).  In your response letter, please describe in greater detail the terms of the assignment agreement with eFund Capital Partners.  Explain the business purpose of the assignment and cancellation of the 750,000 shares.


In May of 2004 eFund Capital Partners, LLC purchased and was issued 2,000,000 shares of common stock and 200 shares of Series A Convertible preferred A Stock as consideration for $200,000 and for strategic assistance in the form of which included helping the management team to restructure its business by, streamlining its business operations, introduction to partners, helping find other sources of capital and improving corporate governance.


Two months after starting its engagement eFund realized they needed more assistance with restructuring the company’s business operations and they wanted Ashford to also be involved in assisting them with the Probe’s restructure, thus the decision was made to assign 1,000,000 shares of its common stock holding and 33 shares of its Series A holding.  


There is no relationship between eFund and Ashford and the assignment was only made because eFund required more assistance with restructuring Probe.


The return and cancellation of 5,000,000 shares of common stock held by our large shareholders was done in order to reduce the number of outstanding shares which the board of directors and the shareholders thought was in the best interest of the company.  The following shares were returned:


1.

Mr. Kambiz  Mahdi= 1,750,000 shares returned;

2.

Mr. Reza Zarif= 1,750,000 shares returned;

3.

eFund Capital Partners, LLC=750,000shares returned and;

4.

Ashford Capital, LLC=750,000 shares returned.


Comment 35


We note that section 1 of the engagement agreement with eFund Capital Partners, which is filed as exhibit 10.11, refers to an “equity line of credit agreement” with eFund Capital Partners for $2 million.  In your response letter, please tell us whether this equity line of credit was ever created and utilized.  Clarify whether any of the shares offered for resale by eFund Capital Partners were issued pursuant to this equity line of credit.


The 2,000,000 line of credit referred to in exhibit 10.11 was never entered into between eFund Capital Partners, LLC and the company.  Therefore, none of the shares offered for resale by eFund Capital Partners, LLC were issued pursuant to the credit line.




Comment 36


We note that Mr. Imbassahy did not have any relationship with the company within the past three years.  In your response letter, please tell us if he had any prior relationship with the company.

Mr. Imbassahy has never had an affiliation with our company.   Furthermore, it is no longer relevant because subject matter has been removed from the registration statement.

Comment 37

Please disclose the natural persons who exercise the voting and/or dispositive powers with respect to the securities to be offered for resale by your selling stockholders that are non-reporting entities.  For example, disclose the natural persons who have such powers over the shares held by the various trusts identified in footnote (7).  Please see Interpretation 1.60 of our July 1997 Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations and Interpretation 4S of the Regulation S-K portion of the March 1999 Supplement to our July 1997 Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION


Each selling stockholder of our common stock and any of their pledges, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on the trading market if and when one develops, any other stock exchange if and when one develops, market or trading facility which the shares are traded if and when one develops or in private transactions.  These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices.  The selling stockholders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale. The selling stockholders may sell the shares from time to time:


·

If we are successful in our application to have our common stock list on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board in transactions on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board or on any national securities



exchange or U.S. inter-dealer system of a registered national securities association on which our common stock may be listed or quoted at the time of sale; or


·

 In private transactions and transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market; or


·

If we are successful in our application to have our common stock list on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board at prices related to such prevailing market prices, or


·

In privately negotiated transactions, or


·

If we are successful in our application to have our common stock listed on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board in block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;


·

Purchase by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; or


·

An exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; or


·

If we are successful in our application to have our common stock listed on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board in settlement of short sales entered into after the date of this prospectus; or


·

If we are successful in our application to have our common stock listed on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board in broker-dealer transaction in which broker-dealers may agree with the selling stock holders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; or


·

Through the writing or settlement of option or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise; or


·

In a combination of such methods of sale; or


·

Any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.


The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, if available, rather than under this prospectus.


Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser, in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with NASDR Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with NASDR IM-2440.

 

In connection with the sale of the common stock or interests therein, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of the common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus, as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction.


The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such



event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each Selling Stockholder has informed us that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the common stock. In no event shall any broker-dealer receive fees, commissions and markups which, in the aggregate, would exceed eight percent.


We are required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by us incident to the registration of the shares. We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.   


Because selling stockholders may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus. Each selling stockholder has advised us that they have not entered into any written or oral agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriter or broker-dealer regarding the sale of the resale shares. There is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the resale shares by the selling stockholders.

 

We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the shares may be resold by the selling stockholders without registration and without regard to any volume limitations by reason of Rule 144(e) under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the shares have been sold pursuant to the prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.


Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale shares may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the Common Stock for a period of two business days prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of the Common Stock by the selling stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale.


Amended Text on Pages 24-26 (added text is underlined).

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION


Each selling stockholder of our common stock and any of their pledges, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on the trading market , any other stock exchange market or trading facility which the shares are traded if and when such market develops or in private transactions.  These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices.  The selling stockholders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale. The selling stockholders may sell the shares from time to time:


·

If we are successful in our application to have our common stock list on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board in transactions on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board or on any national securities exchange or U.S. inter-dealer system of a registered national securities association on which our common stock may be listed or quoted at the time of sale and at prices related to such prevailing market prices; or


·

 In private transactions and transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market; or

The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, if available, rather than under this prospectus.


Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser, in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with NASDR Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with NASDR IM-2440.

 

In connection with the sale of the common stock or interests therein, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of the common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus, as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction.


The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each Selling Stockholder has informed us that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the common stock.

We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the shares may be resold by the selling stockholders without registration and without regard to any volume limitations by reason of Rule 144(e) under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the shares have been sold pursuant to the prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.


Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale shares may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for a period of two business days prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of the common stock by the selling stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale.


Rule 105 of Regulation M prohibits a short seller from covering short sales with offering securities purchased from an underwriter or broker or dealer participating in the offering, if the short sale occurred during the Rule's restricted period, typically the five-day period prior to pricing. The reason for the prohibition is that pre-pricing short sales that are covered with offering shares artificially distort the market price for the security, preventing the market from functioning as an independent pricing mechanism and eroding the integrity of the offering price.  Prices of "follow-on offerings" are typically based on a stock's closing price prior to the time of pricing, and thus short sales during the period immediately preceding pricing that reduce the market price can result in a lower offering price. The goal of Rule 105 is to promote offering prices that are based upon open market prices determined by supply and demand rather than artificial forces.

Comment 41

We note the discussion on page 29 regarding possible short sales by the selling shareholders.  In your response letter, please tell us whether any of the selling shareholders have taken, or plan to take, a short position or other forms of hedges in the company’s common stock prior to this resale registration statement’s effectiveness.  Please note that creating short positions or similar hedges, with the intent of delivering registered shares before the resale registration statement’s effectiveness, is inappropriate under Section 5 of the Securities Act because the shares underlying the short sales or hedges are deemed to be sold at the time such sales or hedges are made or created.


None of our shareholders have taken or plan to take a short position or other forms of hedges in the company’s common stock prior to this resale registration statement’s effectiveness.

Comment 42

Please discuss the impact of short selling on the company’s stock.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS


As of July 18, 2005 we have the following legal proceedings and legal settlements:


1.     Cadence has a judgment against us for $98,000.  The judgment was due to lack of payment by Probe to Cadence after Probe purchased the license to use its Alegro software program.  Due to economic conditions after September 11th the market for the use of this product disappeared and Probe was not able to resale the services.  Consequently, Probe was not able to generate any revenues from reselling of the software and could not pay Cadence.  On August 9th 2004 we have entered into a payment agreement with the Cadence in which we pay them $2,500 a month until such time the debt is paid off and the balance currently due to Cadence under the agreement is $80,000.


2. IFC had a judgment against us for $144,403.00.  The judgment resulted from our failure to pay IFC under the purchase agreement for a piece of X-Ray equipment. In September 2004 we entered into a settlement agreement whereby we have agreed to pay IFC $15,000 as an initial payment and $5,000 per month until settlement amount of $70,000.00 is paid in full.  The balance due as of March 31, 2005 is $35,000.00.




3. Canon Financial has a judgment against us for $15000.00.  The judgment was entered because Probe did not pay the lease payments due on a copy machine which was not properly maintained by Canon and was not functional  most of the time.  We have agreed to pay Canon $1000.00 per month until fully paid.  Our balance as of March 31st 2004 is $9,000.00


4. Pro-Source has filed a civil case against us for $35,000 for breach of contract.  The claimed breach of contract is a result of our refusal to pay for their services they claimed rendered in 2003 and 2004.  We’re currently negotiating a settlement, however, if we are unable to negotiate a settlement we believe we will be successful on the merits of the case because of Pro-Source failure to provide the agreed to services.


5. We currently owe the Internal Revenue Service $140,000.00 for past tax liabilities which we are not currently able to pay in full.  We have negotiated a settlement with IRS and have entered into a payment plan with them in which we pay IRS $2,500 per month.  


While we are currently able to service any and all payment obligation to the creditors, if we are unable in the future to service any payments, anyone of the creditors may instigate foreclosure proceedings against us.  If we are unable to satisfy our obligations, we could b forced into bankruptcy.


We believe that there are no other claims or litigation pending, the outcome of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or operating results.  However, if litigation should arise and the Company was to receive an unfavorable ruling, there is a possibility that it would have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity of the period in which the ruling occurs, or future periods

Previous Text.

We incorporated in the State of California on July,7, 1995 as Probe Manufacturing Industries, Inc. On April 21, 2005 we reincorporated from California to Nevada whereby we changed our name to Probe Manufacturing, Inc. From our formation until present we have been a provider of advanced electronics manufacturing services, or EMS, to original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, primarily in the industrial, automotive, semiconductor, medical, communication and military industries.   Our strategy is to provide customers with a collaborative end-to-end service that involves engineering, supply chain management, and manufacturing services.  Furthermore, we take responsibility for new product introduction and implementation, and logistics management, with the goal of delivering a complete packaged product. Once a complete packaged product is delivered, we also provide after-sale services such as repair and warranty services.


 Substantially all of our manufacturing services are provided on a turnkey basis, whereby we purchase customer-specified components from our suppliers, assemble the components on printed circuit boards and perform post-production testing upon request by our customers. However, we can assume supply chain responsibility at any time during the product life cycle.   We offer our customers flexible, "just-in-time" delivery programs allowing product shipments to be closely coordinated with our customers' inventory requirements. Additionally, we complete the assembly of our customers' products at our facilities by integrating printed circuit board assemblies into other elements of our customers' products upon request by our customers.


Our marketing strategy is to convince potential customers to engage us as an engineering and supply chain partner, rather than to simply change EMS suppliers whereby we collaborate with the customer through the entire process.  To do this, we perform a full process audit on prospective customer’s operations to ensure our objectives are aligned and make recommendations for integration of our processes to their technology, quality, and delivery process to achieve the highest positive outcome and lowest total cost.  This process has been an extremely effective way to demonstrate the ways we can improve the targeted customer’s business performance.

Amended Text On Page 5 and 37 .

We incorporated in the State of California on July 7, 1995 as Probe Manufacturing Industries, Inc. On April 21, 2005 we re-domiciled from California to Nevada whereby we changed our name to Probe Manufacturing, Inc. Our business focuses on manufacturing electronics and providing services to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) of industrial, automotive, semiconductor, medical, communication, military, and high technology products. The services that we provide are commonly referred to as electronics manufacturing services (EMS). We offer our customers comprehensive and integrated design and manufacturing services, from initial product design to production and direct order fulfillment.

Our engineering services include product design, printed circuit board layout, prototyping, and test development. Our supply chain management solutions include purchasing, management of materials, and order fulfillment. Our manufacturing services include surface mount, hole assembly, cable assembly, mechanical assembly, and fully integrated box build systems for high complexity electronics.


For example, Probe builds a Natural Gas Electronic Control Unit for Quantum Technologies which is used in GM’s alternative fuel engines. We have supported this customer from the inception of its product. Our services started with full design review for manufacturability and testability of the product.  Once the design review and recommendations were completed we source the materials and procure the components. We then take responsibility for assembling the components on to the boards, assembling the mechanical parts, installing the product inside the enclosure, and finally we perform a full functional test. Then the finished good product is shipped to the customer, who integrates it in to their final fuel delivery system and it’s delivered to GM.


The majority of our revenue is driven from manufacturing a mix of complex Printed Circuit Card assemblies.  Some of the examples of our customers finished goods products include automated fluid dispensing equipments, high performance gas and liquid delivery process modules, which are used in semiconductor fabrication equipment, photonics instrumentation to measure fiber optics, electronic control unit for hydrogen, natural gas, and propane engines, electronic control unit for welding equipment, portable ultrasound and electro-simulation therapy equipment, and target scoring systems for military.

Comment 48

Please provide support for the claims regarding the OEM’s increasing reliance on EMS companies for the manufacture of their products and the competitive advantages offered by EMS companies.  Copies of any industry publications should be sent, with the relevant portions highlighted.  If no independent support exists for the claims, please disclose the claims as your beliefs, along with the bases for these beliefs.

Please see the attached articles from industry publications supporting our claims concerning the OEM’s increasing reliance on EMS companies for the manufacturing of their products and the competitive advantages offered by EMS companies.

Comment 49

Provide support for the characterization of your customers as “high quality,” “leading OEMs in Southern California,” “world leader,” and other similar descriptions.  Otherwise, revise the statements as your beliefs.

We have removed such statements, such as, “high quality,” leading OEM’s in Southern California,” and other similar descriptions on pages 36-37.

Comment 50

Revise the list of customers to distinguish in a clearer manner the services or products offered by your customers and the services or products you provide to your customers.

We currently do not have long-term agreements with our major suppliers, however, we enter into purchase order agreements.  Purchase orders are placed with suppliers based on our Material Requirement Planning (MRP).  When we have an order in our operating system Manex, it generates a list of materials for procurement to satisfy that order.  We then issue purchase orders to our suppliers with scheduled deliveries which acts as the only contractual agreements between us and our suppliers.

Comment 52

Provide a clearer indication of the geographic scope of your markets.  For example, indicate whether you sell your services and products to only customers in certain areas, such as Southern California.

The following sentence was added to page 37 to address the comment:

“We currently only focus on attracting and servicng customers in Southern California.”


We also added a risk factor on page 10 which states:


WE CURRENTLY ONLY SERVICE AND ATTEMPT TO OBTAIN CUSTOMERS IN THE LIMITED GEOGRAPHIC OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA WHICH IS A SMALL ADDRESSABLE MARKET AND COULD BE SUBJECT TO ECONOMIC HARDSHIP OR SLOWDOWN, AS A RESULT OUR GROWTH COULD BE LIMITED AND ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR PROJECTED SALES AND OPERATING INCOME.


We currently only service, attempt to solicit new, and direct our marketing efforts to customers in the Southern California region.  This is a very small addressable market which ultimately limits the amount of growth we could experience.  In addition, this region could experience an economic recession or other market contraction which would cause our current customers and any potential customers to also contract their businesses as well and cease outsourcing any current products that we currently service and would attempt to obtain. Both the size of the market and any potential economic hardship affecting this  small regional market could adversely affect our project sales and operating incomer.  If we are forced to expand our marketing efforts outside this region we could also incur significant costs in an attempt to penetrate other regional or national markets.




Comment 53

Please describe in greater detail the nature of your arrangements with your suppliers.  For example, indicate, if true, that you have no long-term supply agreements.  To the extent your business is substantially dependent upon any principal suppliers, please file any contracts with them as exhibits to the registration statement pursuant to Item 601(b)(10)(i)(B) of Regulation S-B.

REGULATORY RESTRICTIONS ON OUR BUSINESS


Our operations, and the operations of businesses that we may acquire, are subject to certain foreign, federal, state and local regulatory requirements relating to environmental, waste management, and health and safety matters. We believe we operate in substantial compliance with all applicable requirements. However, material costs and liabilities may arise from these requirements or from new, modified or more stringent requirements. In addition, our past, current and future operations, and those of businesses we acquire, may give rise to claims of exposure by employees or the public or to other claims or liabilities relating to environmental, waste management or health and safety concerns.

Comment 55


Please revise the MD&A section to provide all information required by Item 303(b) of Regulation S-B. For example, rather than simply stating that net sales “stabilized and stayed flat,” please provide quantified disclosure regarding the net sales from 2002 through 2004.  Similarly, provide quantified disclosure regarding the financial results for 2004 described on page 43.  Disclose the factors that contributed to the “severe contraction in [your] business” from 2001 to 2002 and indicate whether management expects these factors to affect the business in the near-future.  Disclosure about known trends that are expected to affect financial results, such as your focus on the more capital-intensive ODM services, should be included.  The historical impact of inventory losses, which appears to be significant, should also be discussed in greater detail, with quantified disclosure.  For additional guidance regarding the MD&A section in general, please refer to Release No. 33-8350, which is available on our website (www.sec.gov).

Please expand your discussion of the basis for management’s expectation of “additional growth” and “profitability” in the last three quarters of 2005.  Note that management’s projections of future economic performance must have a reasonable basis.  Refer to Item 10(d) of Regulation S-B for guidance on proper disclosure of management’s projections.

For the year ended December 31, 2004, we incurred a net loss of ( $918,000.00) Thousand compared to net losses of ($1,200,000.00) in 2003 and ($1,500,000.00) in 2002. From 2001 to 2002, we experienced a severe contraction in our business where annual net sales declined from $17.9 million in 2001 to $6.8 million in  2002.  Our net sales stabilized and stayed flat from 2002 through 2004.  However, we responded to the economic downturn by streamlining our processes and down sizing our operations from 225 employees in 2001 to 65 employees in 2004. The down sizing combined with other restructuring and cost containment initiatives resulted in a lower cost structure from 2002 through 2004. In the 4th quarter 2004 we realized one time inventory revaluation adjustment of ($155,000.00).  We also realized one time warranty cost adjustment of ($50,000.00).


In 2004, we experienced a strong net sale in 1st quarter due to increased sales from a major customer, one of our customers.  In the 1st quarter 2004, the major customer accounted for 60% of our net sales at $1,400,000.00.  In the second quarter, net sales from a major customer dropped by about $800,000.00 which explains the decreased net sales for 2nd quarter 2004.  In the 3rd and 4th quarter 2004 net sales to the major customer dropped by another $500,000.00 which explains the additional reduction in our net sales for the third and the 4th quarter of 2004.  Since 3rd and 4th quarter 2004 we started a sales campaign to add new customers.  Consequently, we have added some new customers and our net sales have grown by 33% in 1st quarter of 2005 compared to 4th quarter of 2004.  We continue to evaluate sales forecasts in relation to our



operations; we are anticipating additional growth in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th quarters of 2005.  The anticipated growth is due to existing customer’s forecast and new sales activity pipeline.   While we are constantly adjusting our operations to new sales forecast, we are anticipating profitability as our net sales grow to meet our fixed expenses.

Overview


For the 6 months period ended June 30, 2005 we incurred a net loss of  (321,684) and for the year ended December 31, 2004, we incurred a net loss of ( $918,590) Thousand compared to net losses of ($1,244,761) in 2003 and ($1,513,846 ) in 2002. From 2001 to 2002, we experienced a severe contraction in our business where annual net sales declined from $17.9 million in 2001 to $6.8 million in  2002.  Our net sales stabilized and stayed flat from 2002 through 2004 and continues to remain flat through June 30, 2005.  However, we responded to the economic downturn by streamlining our processes and down sizing our operations from 225 employees in 2001 to 65 employees in 2004. The down sizing combined with other restructuring and cost containment initiatives resulted in a lower cost structure from 2002 through 2004. In the 4th quarter 2004 we realized one time inventory revaluation adjustment of ($155,000), this was an accrual made for excess or obsolete inventory adjustments and or write-offs completed in 2005.  We also realized a one time warranty cost adjustment of ($50,000).   In 2005 we realized a net gain from the restructuring of debt in the amount of  ($89,000).


In 2004, we experienced a strong net sale in 1st quarter due to increased sales from a major customer, one of our customers.  In the 1st quarter 2004, the major customer accounted for 60% of our net sales at $1,400,000 .  In the second quarter, net sales from a major customer dropped by about $800,000  which explains the decreased net sales for 2nd quarter 2004.  In the 3rd and 4th quarter 2004 net sales to the major customer dropped by another $500,000  which explains the additional reduction in our net sales for the third and the 4th quarter of 2004.  Since 3rd and 4th quarter 2004 we started a sales campaign to add new customers.  Consequently, we have added some new customers and our net sales have grown by 33% in 1st quarter and compared to 4th quarter of 2004 and sales grew by 15% from the 1st qtr to the 2nd qtr of 2005. We  anticipated additional sales growth in the, 3rd and 4th quarter of 2005,  however anticipated demand from a key customer failed to materialize, due to a down turn in the semiconductor – Chip industry, will result in missed sales opportunities of $500,000 for each of the 3rd and 4th qtr, therefore sales will remain flat for the remainder of 2005.   While we are constantly adjusting our operations to new sales forecast, we are anticipating profitability as our net sales grow and expenses are cut to match current revenue levels.


Plan of Operation


The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.  The company incurred a net loss of $321,684 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and stockholder deficit of ($762,122) and as of  June 30, 2005 and has a working capital deficit of approximately $348,364. The ability of the company to operate as a going concern is dependent upon its ability (1) to obtain sufficient debt and/or equity capital and/or (2) cut operating costs such that the company can operate until such time that it resumes generating positive cash flow from operations.


Management is taking the following steps to address this situation: (a) reducing operating costs by: (i) re-negotiating direct material cost with all of our suppliers, (ii) reducing direct and indirect labor cost by streamlining production lines and other operations to create more efficiency and (iii) we are also evaluating the possibility of moving into a more feasible facility with lower rent and overhead, thus reducing the break even revenue level; (b) we are negotiating to replace our lines of credit with an agreement(s) that have more attractive terms and expand borrowing capacity; (c) increasing our revenue by making sure we bill for everything of value we do; acquiring new customers, and growing our existing customers.


 The future success of the company is likely dependent on its ability to attain additional capital to support growth and ultimately, upon its ability to attain future profitable operations.  There can be no assurance that the company will be successful in obtaining such financing, or that it will attain positive cash flow from operations.  The successful outcome of these or any future activities cannot be determined at this time and there is no assurance that if achieved, the company will have sufficient funds to execute their business plans or generate positive operating results. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the company be unable to continue as a going concern.




Comment 57


Please provide a liquidity discussion, as required by Item 303 of Regulation S-B, with the information recommended by Release No. 33-8350.  The discussion should provide historical information regarding sources of cash and capital expenditures, an evaluation of the amounts and certainty of cash flows, the existence and timing of commitments for capital expenditures and other known and reasonably likely cash requirements, and discussion and analysis of known trends and uncertainties.  For example, the discussion should explain, with quantified disclosure, how your expansion plans will affect your need for liquidity.  Similarly, explain how becoming a public company, with the increased expenses, will affect your cash requirements.

 Net cash used by operating activities was $971 thousand during the six months ended June 39, 2005. This was mainly due to an operating loss of  $321 thousand, an increase inventories of  $490 thousand, an increase in accounts receivable and a decrease in accounts payable.  The increase in inventory was a result of an anticipated ramp up in sales for the 3rd and 4th quarters.  The increase in receivables was caused by an increase in sales in the month of June.  The cash used in operating activities was funded by and increase in the borrowings under lines of credit of $560 thousand and the issuance of stock (under the Private Placement Memorandum)  of  $572 thousand.   With the added reporting expense resulting from the filing on the SB2 the company has operating expense by $35 thousand per month effective October 1, 2005.  The cash flows from operations will be relatively flat in the 3rd qtr., and slightly positive in the 4th qtr.

Comment 60


We note on pages 46 to 53 that your entire disclosure is identical to the information presented under the Notes to the financial statements presented on page F-6 to F-14.  Please revise the entire section to provide the disclosure required by Item 303 of Regulation S-B.


The MD&A section has been revised and information that was redundant to the notes of the financial statements has been removed.  Please review text from pages 39 to 50.


Comment 61


Your present disclosures does not discuss your critical accounting policies, which would provide the investors with an understanding of those estimates and assumptions that are both important to the portrayal of your financial condition and results of operations and require your most difficult, subjective or complex judgments.


Revise your disclosures to include sensitivity analysis and other quantitative information when it is reasonably available.  You should address the questions that arise once the critical accounting estimate or assumption has been identified, by analyzing, to the extent material, such factors as how they arrived at the estimate, how accurate the estimate/assumption has been in the past, how much the estimate/assumption has changed in the past, and whether the estimate/assumption is reasonably likely to change in the future.


For additional guidance, refer to Items 303(b) and (c) of Regulation S-B as well as section five of the Commission’s Interpretive Release on Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and results of Operation, which is located on our website at http://www.sec.gov/rules/interp/33-8350.htm.


Beginning on page  48 the text has been amended has follows.


Critical Accounting Policies


Management is required to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported when we prepare financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.  Estimates are used for, but not limited to, our accounting for contingencies, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation,  and income taxes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The following critical accounting policies are impacted significantly by judgments, assumptions and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.


Inventory

The companies’ inventories are stated at the lower of weighted average cost or market. This industry, is characterized by rapid change in technology.  Customer commitments are generally short term in nature and their demands can fluctuate and change very rapidly.  We make provisions for estimated excess and obsolete inventories based on these factors as well as cost and market value fluctuations in pricing as well as regular reviews of inventory quantities on hand and the latest forecasts of product demand and production requirements from our customers. Our provisions for excess and obsolete inventory are also impacted by our contractual arrangements with our customers including our ability or inability to re-sell such inventory to them. If actual market conditions or our customers’ product demands are less favorable than those projected or if our customers are unwilling or unable to comply with any contractual arrangements related to excess and obsolete inventory, additional provisions may be required.


Allowance for doubtful accounts

The company grants credit to customers within the United States of America and does not require collateral. The company’s ability to collect receivables is affected by economic fluctuations in the geographic areas and industries served by the company.


Reserves for un-collectable amounts are provided, based on past experience and a specific analysis of the accounts, which management believes are sufficient. Although the company expects to collect amounts due, actual collections may differ from the estimated amounts.


Goodwill

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”.    At this time we have no amounts recorded under goodwill or intangible assets.


Loss per Share

We utilize SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share." Basic loss per share is computed by dividing loss available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding.




Revenue and Expense recognition.

Net sales are recognized when title is transferred to our customers, which generally occurs upon shipment from our facilities. Net sales from design, engineering and other services are generally recognized as the services are performed. Our sales are recorded net of customer discounts and credits taken or expected to be.


Cost of goods sold includes materials, labor, and overhead expenses incurred in the manufacture of our products and are recognized and matched to the period when the revenue is recognized. Cost of goods sold also includes charges and credits related to manufacturing operations for lease exit costs, impairment of long-lived assets, and obsolete and slow moving inventories. Many factors affect our gross profit, including capacity utilization, product mix, and production volume.


Selling, general, and administrative expenses primarily include the salaries for executive, finance, accounting, IT personnel, program management and human resources personnel; salaries and commissions paid to our internal sales force and external sales representatives and marketing costs; insurance expenses; depreciation expense related to assets not used in manufacturing activities; bad debt charges and recoveries; professional fees for auditing and legal assistance; and general corporate expenses.  These expenses are accrued and recognized in the period that they are incurred.


Impairment of long-lived assets reflects charges related to property, equipment and intangible assets not used in manufacturing activities; impairment of manufacturing assets is included in cost of goods sold.


Interest expense relates to our credit facilities and other debt obligations. Interest expense also includes the amortization of debt issuance costs.  These are accrued and recognized at the time they are incurred.


Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates may be materially different from actual financial results. Significant estimates include the recoverability of long-lived assets and the collectability of accounts receivable.




Federal Income Taxes

The company accounts for income taxes under SFAS No. 109, which requires the asset and liability approach to accounting for income taxes.  Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities measured using enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.  During the year ended December 31, 2004, the company changed from a “S” corporation to a “C” corporation.


Segment Information

The Corporation operates primarily in a single operating segment, providing printed circuit board assemblies.


Stock Based Compensation

SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS No. 123’) allows an entity to elect to continue to measure compensation cost under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB No. 25”), but requires pro forma disclosures of net loss and loss per share as if the fair-valued-based method of accounting had been applied.  In accordance with SFAS 123, the company elected to continue to measure compensation cost under APB No. 25, and comply with the pro forma disclosure requirements.


The company has adopted for footnote disclosure purposes SFAS No. 123, which requires that companies disclose the cost of stock-based employee compensation at the grant date based on the value of the award (the fair value method) and disclose this cost over the service period.  The value of the stock-based award is determined using a pricing model whereby compensation cost is the excess of the fair value of the award as determined by the model at grant date or other measurement date over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock.


Transactions in which goods or services are received from non-employees for the issuance of equity securities or stock-based awards are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received.  Stock amounts of $5,500 were valued for services during the year ended December 31, 2004.

 



Inflation


We do not believe that inflation has had or is likely to have any significant impact on our revenues.


Subsidiaries



Comment 62


We note that management is addressing the going concern opinion by “reducing operating costs.”  Please include disclosure reconciling the fact that management intends to reduce operating costs while, at the same time, it is seeking to expand its operations, as discussed on page 13 (“…we expect to incur new fixed operating expenses associated with our expansion efforts…”).


We have removed the inconsistency and the risk factor relating to the expansion of operations on page 13 has been deleted.  Management intends to solely focus on the reduction of operating costs.


Comment 63


Indicate the status of management’s efforts to replace the existing line of credit.  State when management expects a new borrowing facility will be in place.


This comment was addressed on page 42.


The company had a revolving line of credit (the “Line”) with a financial institution, which allowed them to borrow a maximum of $1,100,000 based on 80% of eligible accounts receivable, as defined.  Borrowings under the Line, bore interest at prime (4.25% plus 10.5% per annum) were secured by substantially all of the company’s assets and are personally guaranteed by the stockholders.  In March 2004 the Line was restructured into a term loan in the amount of $500,000. Terms of the Note were: (1) monthly installment payments of $5,000, (2) interest at the rate of 4% plus the prime rate by the agent (3) secured by accounts receivable (4) with a discount provision of $200,000 after timely payments of the first $300,000.  In December 2004, the note was restructured into a new line of credit and discounted by $200,000. This new line of credit allows the company to borrow a maximum of $125,000 based on 80% of eligible accounts receivables, payable in monthly installments of $5,000 plus interest at the rate of 4% plus the prime-lending rate.  As of June 30, 2005, the company had borrowed $120,114.  The company has an additional unsecured line of credit in the amount of $775,000.  Borrowings under the Line of credit bear interest at the rate of 15% (10% paid in cash and 5% paid in common stock in the company) per annum.   As of June 30, 2005 the company had an outstanding balance against this line of credit in the amount of $580,000. The company has not been successful at replacing the existing line of credit.  The company has secured additional lines of credit, for a total of $725,000, as follows, with restructured terms as follows:


Efund Capital Partners -   $150,000  @ 15% interest, 10% paid in cash and 5% paid in the form of common stock @ .80 per share.


Rufina V. Paniego -   $75,000 @ 15% interest, 10% paid in cash and 5% paid in the form of common stock @ .80 per share.


Ashford Capital - $150,000 @ 15% interest, 10% paid in cash and 5% paid in the form of common stock @ .80 per share.


Benner Exemption Trust  - $200,000  @ 15% interest, 10% paid in cash and 5% paid in the form of common stock @ .80 per share.


Edward Lassiter  -  $100,000  @ 15% interest, 10% paid in cash and 5% paid in the form of common stock @ .80 per share.


William Duncan  - $50,000  @ 15% interest, 10% paid in cash and 5% paid in the form of common stock @ .80 per share.


The holders of the notes do not have discretion in deciding whether to accept interest in the form of cash or common stock.  None of the stock is being registered under this prospectus or being offered for resale.

Comment 65


Please describe in greater detail the nature of the “restructuring of certain notes payable and capital leases” that resulted in a gain of $275,000.


Amended on pages 44 and 45.


Gross Profit (Loss). Our gross profit decreased by $154,000  from 1,370,000   for 2003 to 1,220,000 for 2004. Similarly, gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased from 21.2% for 2003 19.7% for 2004. The decrease in gross profit for 2004 is primarily attributable to the decrease in net sales while fixed manufacturing costs remained relatively unchanged.  Our Gross profit as a percent of sales has decreased from 19.7%  in 2004 to 18.3% for the 6 months ended June 30, 2005, mainly as a result of pricing pressures from Newport corporation and Celerity.

 

In 2004, the company incurred a net loss of ($918,000) an improvement of $322,000 over the 2003 loss of ($1,240,000).  This was primarily due to a gain on restructuring of certain notes payable and capital leases, totaling 275,000.   As of April 5, 2004 the company had a line of credit in the amount of $1,078676, with Camel financial, Inc.  On April 6, 2004 the loan was paid down by $618,676 and the company entered into a new loan agreement in the amount of $460,000,  the provisions had a discount of $200,000 if paid in full by February 2006.  In December of  the company paid an additional $75,000 and Camel agreed to discount the note by the $200,000 at that time, which was recognized as a gain on settlement of debt.  The company entered into a new amortizing line of  credit in the amount of $140,000.The company had negotiated various other settlements, with vendors that resulted in a net gain of $75,000, recognized as a gain on settlement of debt for the year ended 2004.


Also certain pieces of manufacturing equipment are nearing the end there useful lives, resulting in a decrease in depreciation expense of $58,000 from 2003 of $299,000 to 2004 of



$241,000.  The company Incurred  a net loss of $321,684 and $543,211 for the 6 months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 respectively.  The improvement is due to decreased operating costs, mainly derived from lowered interest cost a result of the restructuring of the lines of credit.

Comment 83


Please disclose your accounting policies for the inventory as required by paragraph 8 and 13 of APB Opinion no. 22.


Our Inventory section on page F-9 was amended as follows:


Inventory


Inventories are valued at the lower of weighted average cost or market value.   Our Industry experiences changes in technology, changes in market value and availability of the raw materials, as well as changing customer demand.  The Company makes provisions for estimated excess and obsolete inventories based on regular reviews and cycle counts of our on-hand inventory levels and forecasted customer demands and at times additional provisions are made.  As of March 31, 2005 the Company has a reserve of $347,294.



Comment 84


You indicate in the last sentence of the first paragraph that the estimated lives of the related assets range from three to ten years; however the Leasehold Improvements are being amortized over 20 years.  Please revise as necessary and disclose if the Leasehold Improvements are being amortized over the estimated life of the lease.


The Property and Equipment section on page F-9 and F-10 has been amended as follows:


Property and Equipment

Property and equipment, including renewals and betterments, are stated at cost. Assets held under capital leases are recorded at lease inception at the lower of the present value of the minimum lease payments or the fair market value of the related assets.  The Company follows the practice of capitalizing property and equipment purchased over $1,250.  The cost of ordinary maintenance and repairs is charged to operations while renewals and replacements are capitalized.  Depreciation and amortization are computed on the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from three to twenty years, and are as follows:


Furniture and fixtures

3 to 7 years

Equipment

7 to 10 years

Vehicles

5 years

Leasehold improvements

20 years (estimated life of the lease)


Comment 85


You disclose that the revenue is recognized at the time goods are shipped or services are provided to the customers.  Please tell us, and disclose in your revenue recognition policy, whether your stated shipping terms are FOB shipping point or FOB destination pursuant to your sales agreements with customers. In addition, please also tell us and disclose whether your sales agreements contain right or inspection or acceptance provisions.  Also, if your sales agreements are silent as to when title passes, please tell us and disclose why sales recognition is appropriate upon shipment, rather than upon delivery to and acceptance by the customer.  Even if your sales agreements state that title passes upon shipment, customer acceptance provisions or a history of your replacing goods damaged or lost in transit may also make the recognition of revenue upon delivery to and acceptance by the customer more appropriate.  Revise or advise.  See the Interpretive Response to Question 3 of SAB Topic 13:A.


Our Revenue Recognition section on page F-10 has been revised as follows:

Revenue Recognition




Revenue from product and services are recognized at the time goods are shipped or services are provided to the customer, with an appropriate provision for returns and allowances. Terms are generally FOB destination with the right of inspection and acceptance. The company has not experienced a material amount of rejected or damaged product



Comment 86


Please revise to address the comments above, as appropriate.


Note1. General



Comment 87


Please discuss in MD&A, under the caption “Plan of operations,” management’s viable plans to overcome Probe’s financial difficulties and include a reasonable detailed discussion of your ability to generate sufficient cash to support operations during the twelve months following the date of the financial statements presented in the filing.  Refer to the guidance in Section 607.02 of the Financial Reporting Codification.


The following section title “Plan of operations” has been added to our MD&A section on page 40.





Plan of Operation


The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.  The company incurred a net loss of $321,684 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and stockholder deficit of ($762,122) and as of  June 30, 2005 and has a working capital deficit of approximately $348,364. The ability of the company to operate as a going concern is dependent upon its ability (1) to obtain sufficient debt and/or equity capital and/or (2) cut operating costs such that the company can operate until such time that it resumes generating positive cash flow from operations.


Management is taking the following steps to address this situation: (a) reducing operating costs by: (i) re-negotiating direct material cost with all of our suppliers, (ii) reducing direct and indirect labor cost by streamlining production lines and other operations to create more efficiency and (iii) we are also evaluating the possibility of moving into a more feasible facility with lower rent and overhead, thus reducing the break even revenue level; (b) we are negotiating to replace our lines of credit with an agreement(s) that have more attractive terms and expand borrowing capacity; (c) increasing our revenue by making sure we bill for everything of value we do; acquiring new customers, and growing our existing customers.


 The future success of the company is likely dependent on its ability to attain additional capital to support growth and ultimately, upon its ability to attain future profitable operations.  There can be no assurance that the company will be successful in obtaining such financing, or that it will attain positive cash flow from operations.  The successful outcome of these or any future activities cannot be determined at this time and there is no assurance that if achieved, the company will have sufficient funds to execute their business plans or generate positive operating results. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the company be unable to continue as a going concern.




Thank you for your time and review of our registration statement on Form SB-2.  If there was any information that you requested that was not enclosed please give me a call at (562)547-0364.

Sincerely,

/s/ Catherine Basinger
