Amendment No. 1 to PROXY STATEMENT FOR OUR ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS TO BE HELD ON DECEMBER 28, 2011

EXPLANATORY NOTE: This Amendment No. 1 to the Proxy Statement of Probe Manufacturing, Inc. (the Company) amends only one item of the definitive proxy statement originally filed on December 1, 2011 (the Proxy Statement) which is contained herein. Except as expressly set forth herein, the Proxy Statement has not been amended, updated or otherwise modified. We have included the entire Proxy Statement, as amended for your convenience. This Amendment No. 1 amends a typographical error in Proposal No. 13, which erroneously stated that the Board recommended conducting a non-binding, advisory resolution on executive compensation every five years. The correct language is: The Board recommends a vote to conduct future non-binding, advisory resolutions on executive compensation "EVERY THREE YEARS".

The proxy solicitation materials are being mailed to Shareholders on or about December 1, 2011. About the Meeting What is the purpose of the annual meeting? At the annual meeting, Shareholders will vote to: (i) reelect three nominee directors, each to hold office for a oneyear term expiring at the 2012 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and until his successor is duly elected and qualified (Proposal No. 1); (ii) ratify the appointment of W.T. Uniack & Co, CPAs, P.C., as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2011 (Proposal No. 2); (iii) to hold a non-binding, advisory vote on executive compensation (Proposal No. 3);and (iv) to hold a non-binding, advisory vote on the frequency of the non-binding, advisory vote on executive compensation (Proposal No. 4); and (v) transact such other business as may properly come before the annual meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. Management will give a presenation that provides a current overview of the company, and will respond to questions from Shareholders. In addition, representatives of W.T. Uniack & Co, CPAs, P.C., our independent registered public accounting firm, are expected to be present at the annual meeting, will have an opportunity to make a statement if they so desire, and will be available to respond to questions from our Shareholders. What is our Board of Directors voting recommendation? Unless you give other instructions on your proxy card, the individuals named on the card as proxy holders will vote in accordance with the recommendations of our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote your shares: (i) FOR ALL NOMINEES to our Board of Directors; and (ii) FOR" Proposals Nos. 2and 3, and "EVERY THREE YEARS" for Proposal No. 4 regarding the advisory vote on the frequency of the advisory vote on executive compensation. No director has informed us that he intends to oppose any action intended to be taken by us. What happens if additional proposals are presented at the annual meeting? Other than the matters described in this proxy statement, we do not expect any additional matters to be presented for a vote at the annual meeting. If other matters are presented and you are authorizing a proxy, your proxy grants the individuals named as proxy holders the discretion to vote your shares on any additional matters properly presented for a vote at the meeting.

Who is entitled to vote? Only Shareholders of record at the close of business on December 1, 2011, or the record date, are entitled to receive notice of the annual meeting and to vote the shares of our common stock that they hold on that date at the annual meeting or any adjournments or postponements thereof. As of the record date, we had 195,659,056 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote. Each outstanding share of our common stock entitles its holder to cast one vote on each proposal to be voted on at the annual meeting. What constitutes a quorum? If 50.0% of the shares of our common stock outstanding on the record date are present at the annual meeting, either in person or by proxy, we will have a quorum at the meeting, permitting the conduct of business at the meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted to determine whether a quorum is present. A broker nonvote occurs when a broker, bank or other nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the nominee does not have discretionary voting power with respect to that matter and has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner. How do I vote my shares at the annual meeting? Authorizing a Proxy by Mail Shareholders may authorize a proxy by completing the accompanying proxy card and mailing it in the accompanying self-addressed postage-paid return envelope. Completed proxy cards must be received by 5:00 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time on December 27, 2011. Authorizing a Proxy by Fax Shareholders may authorize a proxy by completing the accompanying proxy card and faxing it to 1 (949) 273-4990 until 5:00 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time on December 27, 2011. If you hold your shares in street name please follow the instruction card that will be provided to you by your broker-dealer. Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes Abstentions and "broker non-votes" are considered present and entitled to vote at each of the 2011 annual general meeting and the extraordinary general meeting for purposes of determining a quorum. A "broker non-vote" occurs when a broker, a bank or other nominee who holds shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the broker, bank or other nominee does not have discretionary power to vote on that particular proposal and has not received directions from the beneficial owner. If a broker, bank or other nominee indicates on the proxy card that it does not have discretionary authority to vote as to a particular matter, those shares, along with any abstentions, will not be counted in the tabulation of the votes cast on the proposal being presented to shareholders. If you are a beneficial owner, your broker, bank or other nominee has authority to vote your shares for or against the re-appointment of our independent auditors and for or against the approval of the general authorization for our directors to allot and issue ordinary shares, even if the broker does not receive voting instructions from you. Your broker, bank or other nominee, however, does not have the discretion to vote your shares on any other proposals included in this joint proxy statement without receiving voting instructions from you. It is very important that you instruct your broker, bank or other nominee how to vote on these proposals. If you do not complete the voting instructions, your shares will not be considered in the election of directors or any other proposal included in this joint proxy statement other than the re-appointment of our independent auditors and the approval of the general authorization for our directors to allot and issue ordinary shares. If you are a registered shareholder, in the absence of contrary instructions, shares represented by proxies submitted by you will be voted at the 2011 annual general meeting: "FOR" the Board nominees in Proposal

No. 1, "FOR" Proposals Nos. 2 and 3, and "EVERY YEAR" for Proposal No. 4 regarding the advisory vote on the frequency of the advisory vote on executive compensation.

Can I revoke my proxy after I return my proxy card or after I authorize a proxy by telephone, fax or over the Internet? If you are a stockholder of record as of December 1, 2011, you may revoke your proxy at any time before the proxy is exercised at the annual meeting by delivering to our Secretary a written notice of revocation or a properly signed proxy bearing a later date, or by attending the annual meeting and voting in person (although attendance at the annual meeting will not cause your previously granted proxy to be revoked unless you specifically so request). If you hold shares of our common stock in street name, you will need to contact the institution that holds your shares and follow its instructions for revoking a proxy. What vote is required to approve each proposal that comes before the annual meeting? To elect the director nominees, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of our common stock present in person or by proxy at a meeting at which a quorum is present must be cast in favor of the proposal. To Proposals 2 through 4, the affirmative vote of a majority of all votes cast at a meeting at which a quorum is present must be cast in favor of the proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes will count as votes against the proposal to elect the director nominees, but will have no impact on the proposal to ratify Proposals 2 through 4. Who will bear the costs of soliciting proxies for the meeting? Probe Manufacturing will bear the entire cost of the solicitation of proxies from its Shareholders. The mailing of these proxy materials, the solicitation of proxies may be made in person, by telephone or by electronic communication by our directors and officers who will not receive any additional compensation for such solicitation activities. We will also reimburse brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for forwarding proxy solicitation materials to our Shareholders. Who should I call if I have any questions? If you have any questions about how to submit your proxy, or if you need additional copies of this proxy statement or the enclosed proxy card or voting instructions, you should contact: Probe Manufacturing, Inc. 17275 Gillette Avenue Irvine, CA 92614 1 (949) 273-4442 Attn: John Bennett

PROPOSAL FOR REELECTION OF DIRECTORS (Proposal No. 1) Background Our Board of Directors currently consists of three directors. Our bylaws provide for a minimum of three and a maximum of seven directors and that our directors each serve a term of one year, but may be re-elected.

Each of Messrs. Mahdi, Bennett and Talieh currently serves as a member of our Board of Directors.

Each of the nominees has consented to being named as a nominee in this proxy statement and has agreed that, if elected, he will serve on our Board of Directors for a one-year term ending on the date of the 2012 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and until his successor has been duly elected and qualified. If any nominee becomes unavailable for any reason, the shares represented by proxies may be voted for a substitute nominee designated by our Board of Directors. We are not aware of any family relationship among any of the nominees to become directors or executive officers of Probe Manufacturing. Each of the nominees for election as director has stated that there is no arrangement or understanding of any kind between him and any other person relating to his election as a director, except that such nominees agreed to serve as our directors if elected. Director Qualifications We believe that our Board of Directors should encompass a diverse range of talent, skill and expertise sufficient to provide sound and prudent guidance with respect to our operations and interests. Each director also is expected to: exhibit high standards of integrity, commitment and independence of thought and judgment; use his or her skills and experiences to provide independent oversight to our business; participate in a constructive and collegial manner; be willing to devote sufficient time to carrying out their duties and responsibilities effectively; devote the time and effort necessary to learn our business; and represent the long-term interests of our Shareholders. Furthermore, we believe our Board of Directors should be comprised of persons with skills in areas such as: finance, electronic manufacturing, leadership of business organizations and legal matters. In addition to the targeted skill areas as noted above, we endeavor to select members of our Board of Directors which have a strong record of achievement in key knowledge areas that are critical for directors to add value to our Board of Directors, including:

Strategy knowledge of our business model, the formulation of corporate strategies, knowledge of key competitors and markets; Relationships understanding how to interact with investors, accountants, attorneys, management companies, and markets in which we operate; and Functional understanding of finance matters, financial statements and auditing procedures, technical expertise, legal issues and marketing.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE Director Attendance at Meetings of the Board of Directors Our Board of Directors held 3 meetings during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. Each of our incumbent directors attended at least 75.0% of the aggregate total number of meetings of our Board of Directors held during the period for which he served as a director. Director Attendance at Annual Meetings of the Shareholders Although we have no policy with regard to attendance by the members of our Board of Directors at our annual meetings, we invite and encourage the members of our Board of Directors to attend our annual meetings to foster communication between Shareholders and our Board of Directors. Stockholder Communication with the Board of Directors Any stockholder who desires to contact members of our Board of Directors, or a specified committee of our Board of Directors, may do so by writing to: Probe Manufacturing, Inc., Board of Directors, 17475 Gillette Ave., Irvine, California 92614, Attention: Secretary. Communications received will be distributed by our Secretary to such member or members of our Board of Directors as deemed appropriate by our Secretary, depending on the facts and circumstances outlined in the communication received. Director Independence We have a three-member Board of Directors. Due to the size of our company and the difficulty in finding directors that are comptetent or have experience in our industry, only one of our directors can be deemed an independent director. While our stock is not listed on the New York Stock Exchange, our independent director would qualify as independent under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange. Board Leadership Structure; Independent Lead Director Kambiz Mahdi serves as both our Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer. Our Board of Dirrectors has determined that the most effective leadership structure for our company at the present time is for our Chief Executive Officer to also serve as our Chairman of the Board of Directors. Our Board believes that because our Chief Executive Officer is ultimately responsible for our day-to-day operations and for executing our business strategy, and because our performance is an integral part of the deliberations of our Board of Directors, our Chief Executive Officer is the director best qualified to act as Chairman of the Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors retains the authority to modify this structure to best address our unique circumstances, and so advance the best interests of all shareholders, as and when appropriate. In addition, although we do not have a lead independent director, our Board of Directors believes that the current structure is appropriate, due to the current size of our operations. Our Board of Directors also believes, for the reasons set forth below, that its existing corporate governance practices achieve independent oversight and management accountability, which is the goal that many companies seek to achieve by separating the roles of Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer. Our governance practices provide for strong independent leadership, independent discussion among directors and for independent evaluation of, and communication with, members of senior management. These governance practices are reflected in our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, or our Code of Ethics.

Committees of our Board of Directors We have no standing committees of our Board of Directors at the current time, which is again due to the size of our operations. From time to time, our Board of Directors may establish committees it deems appropriate to address specific areas in more depth than may be possible at a full Board of Directors meeting. As our company grows, we plan to establish an audit committee, compensation committee and nominating and coporate governance committee. The functions that these committees will perform are currently being performed by our three-member Board. Director Nomination Procedures and Diversity As outlined above, in selecting a qualified nominee, our Board of Directors considers such factors as it deems appropriate, which may include: the current composition of our Board of Directors; the range of talents of a nominee that would best complement those already represented on our Board of Directors; the extent to which a nominee would diversify our Board of Directors; a nominees standards of integrity, commitment and independence of thought and judgment; a nominees ability to represent the long-term interests of our shareholders as a whole; a nominees relevant expertise and experience upon which to be able to offer advice and guidance to management; a nominee who is accomplished in his or her respective field, with superior credentials and recognition; and the need for specialized expertise. While we do not have a formal diversity policy, we believe that the backgrounds and qualifications of our directors, considered as a group, should provide a significant composite mix of experience, knowledge and abilities that will allow our Board of Directors to fulfill its responsibilities. Applying these criteria, our Board of Directors considers candidates for membership on our Board of Directors suggested by its members, as well as by our Shareholders. Members of our Board of Directors annually review our Board of Directors composition by evaluating whether our Board of Directors has the right mix of skills, experience and backgrounds. Our Board of Directors may also consider an assessment of its diversity, in its broadest sense, reflecting, but not limited to, age, geography, gender and ethnicity. Our Board of Directors identifies nominees by first evaluating the current members of our Board of Directors willing to continue in service. Current members of our Board of Directors with skills and experience relevant to our business and who are willing to continue in service are considered for re-nomination. If any member of our Board of Directors does not wish to continue in service or if our Board of Directors decides not to nominate a member for reelection, our Board of Directors will review the desired skills and experience of a new nominee in light of the criteria set forth above. Our Board of Directors also considers nominees for our Board of Directors recommended by Shareholders. Notice of proposed stockholder nominations for our Board of Directors must be delivered in accordance with the requirements set forth in our bylaws and SEC Rule 14a-8 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. Nominations must include the full name of the proposed nominee, a brief description of the proposed nominees business experience for at least the previous five years and a representation that the nominating stockholder is a beneficial or record owner of our common stock. Any such submission must be accompanied by the written consent of the proposed nominee to be named as a nominee and to serve as a director if elected. Nominations should be delivered to: Probe Manufacturing, Inc., Board of Directors, 17475 Gillette Ave., Irvine, California 92614, Attention: Chief Executive Officer. Our Board of Directors will recommend the slate of directors to be nominated for election at the annual meeting of shareholders. We have not and do not currently employ or pay a fee to any third party to identify or evaluate, or assist in identifying or evaluating, potential director nominees.

Board of Directors Role in Risk Oversight Our Board of Directors oversees our shareholders interest in the long-term success of our business strategy and our overall financial strength. Our Board of Directors is actively involved in overseeing risks associated with our business strategies and decisions. It does so, in part, through its approval of all acquisitions and business-related investments and all assumptions of debt, as well as its oversight of our executive officers pursuant to annual reviews. Our Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing risks related to corporate governance and the selection of nominees to our Board of Directors. In addition, the Board reviews risks related to our financial reporting. The Baord meets with our Chief Financial Officer and with representatives of our independent registered public accounting firm on a quarterly basis to discuss and assess the risks related to our internal controls. Additionally, material violations of our Code of Ethics and related corporate policies are reported to our Board of Directors. Code of Business Conduct and Ethics We have adopted our Code of Ethics, which contains general guidelines for conducting our business and is designed to help our directors, employees and independent consultants resolve ethical issues in an increasingly complex business environment. Our Code of Ethics applies to our Principal Executive Officer, Principal Financial Officer, and persons performing similar functions and all members of our Board of Directors. Our Code of Ethics covers topics including, but not limited to, conflicts of interest, confidentiality of information, and compliance with laws and regulations. Shareholders may request a copy of our Code of Ethics, which will be provided without charge, by writing to: Probe Manufacturing, Inc., 17475 Gillette Ave., Irvine, California 92614, Attention: Chief Executive Officer. Our Code of Ethics is also available on our website, www.probeglobal.com. If, in the future, we amend, modify or waive a provision in our Code of Ethics, we may, rather than filing a Current Report on Form 8K, satisfy the disclosure requirement by posting such information on our website, as necessary. COMPENSATION OF INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS The key objective of our non-employee directors' compensation program is to attract and retain highly qualified directors with the necessary skills, experience and character to oversee our management. We currently use wquitybased compensation to compensate our non-employee directors due to our restricted cash flow position; however, we may in the future provide cash compensation to our non-employee directors. The use of equity-based compensation is designed to recognize the time commitment, expertise and potential liability relating to active Board service, while aligning the interests of our Board of Directors with the long-term interests of our shareholders. In accordance with the policy of our Board of Directors, we do not pay management directors for Board service in addition to their regular employee compensation. For a discussion of the compensation paid to our only management directors, Mr. Mahdi and Mr. Bennett, for services provided as our CEO and CFO, respectively, see the sections of this proxy statement entitled "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" and "Executive Compensation." In addition to the compensation provided to our non-employee director, which is detailed below, each nonemployee director is reimbursed for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attending inperson meetings of the Board of Directors and Board committees, as well for any fees incurred in attending continuing education courses for directors. Fiscal Years 2009 and 2010 Annual Cash Compensation

We currently do not provide cash compensation to our non-employee directors and as such did not provide any cash compensation during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 and have not and will not provide cash compensation to our one non-emolyee director for the fiscal year 2011.

Fiscal Year 2011 Equity Compensation Yearly Restricted Share Awards Under the terms of the discretionary restricted share unit grant provisions of our 2006 Incentive Stock Plan and our 2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan, which we refer to as the 2006 Plan and 2011 Plan, respectively, each nonemployee director is eligible to receive grants of restricted common stock share awards at the discretion of our Board of Directors.

Auditor Independence The Board of Directors has considered whether the provision of the above noted services is compatible with maintaining our independent registered public accounting firms independence and has concluded that the provision of such services has not adversely affected the independent registered public accounting firms independence.

Our management has the primary responsibility for our financial statements as well as our financial reporting process, principles and internal controls. The independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for performing an audit of our financial statements and expressing an opinion as to the conformity of such financial statements with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NON-BINDING, ADVISORY PROPOSAL NO. 3: NON-BINDING, ADVISORY RESOLUTION ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION In accordance with recently adopted Section 14A of the Exchange Act, and as a matter of good corporate governance, we are asking our shareholders to approve, in a non-binding, advisory vote, the compensation of our named executive officers as reported in this proxy statement in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis and in the compensation tables and accompanying narrative disclosure under "Executive Compensation." Our named executive officers include our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer serving during of our 2009 and 2010 fiscal years and identified in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section of this proxy. As described in more detail in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, our compensation programs are designed to:

attract, retain and motivate superior executive talent while maintaining an appropriate cost structure; link a substantial component of our executives' compensation to the achievement of performance goals that directly correlate to the enhancement of shareholder value; and have the right balance of short and long-term compensation elements to ensure an appropriate focus on operational objectives and the creation of long-term value.

The Board of Director periodically assesses our compensation programs to ensure that they are appropriately aligned with our business strategy and are achieving their objectives. For fiscal year 2011, we adopted various changes in our compensation programs in order to better align our programs with best practices. These changes included the following:

we entered into long-term employment contracts with our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer to promote continuity of management; we engaged an outside consultant to determine the fairness of our compensation program; and we adopted a more comprehenvise stock incentive plan to provide motivational incentive and economic reward to our existing employees and to assist us in attracting executive and director talent.

In fiscal year 2010, we achieved strong year-over-year growth whereby we closed out 2010 with achieving several financial milestones, including 30% revenue growth, 68% and 785% increase in gross profits and net profits, respectively, and our net worth increased from a $(86,887) deficit as of December 31, 2009 to $183,175 positive as of December 31, 2010. We urge shareholders to read carefully the Compensation Discussion and Analysis of this proxy statement to review the compensation of our named executive officers and our performance. While the vote on this resolution is advisory and not binding on the company, the Board of Directors values the opinions of our shareholders and will consider the outcome of the vote on this resolution when making decisions regarding future executive compensation arrangements. The Board recommends a vote "FOR" the approval of the non-binding, advisory resolution on executive compensation.

14

NON-BINDING, ADVISORY PROPOSAL NO. 4: NON-BINDING ADVISORY RESOLUTION ON THE FREQUENCY OF THE NON-BINDING, ADVISORY RESOLUTION ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION Pursuant to recently adopted Section 14A of the Exchange Act, we are asking shareholders to vote on whether future non-binding, advisory votes on executive compensation of the nature reflected in Proposal No. 3 above should occur every year, every two years or every three years. The Board of Directors has determined that holding an advisory vote on executive compensation every three years is the most appropriate policy for the company at this time. Therefore, our Board recommends that shareholders vote for future advisory votes on executive compensation to occur every three years. We believe that this approach is consistent with our policy of maintaining an open and transparent dialogue with our shareholders and in line with our objective to have executive compensation programs designed to promote a long-term connection between compensation and performance. While this advisory resolution is not binding on the company, the Board will carefully consider the voting results in recommending and determining the frequency of any future advisory votes on executive compensation. The frequency which receives the highest number of non-binding, affirmative votes will be deemed the choice of the shareholders. Shareholders are able to abstain from this proposal or to specify that a vote should be held every year, every two years or every three years. Shareholders are not being asked to approve or disapprove of the Board's recommendation. In addition, notwithstanding the Board's recommendation and the outcome of the shareholder vote, the Board may in the future decide to propose for consideration non-binding, advisory resolutions on executive compensation on a more or less frequent basis as it deems appropriate to best address the company's unique circumstances at any given time and to serve the best interests of our shareholders. The Board recommends a vote to conduct future non-binding, advisory resolutions on executive compensation "EVERY THREE YEARS". EXECUTIVE OFFICERS The names, ages and positions of our executive officers as of December 1, 2011 are as follows:

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Compensation Philosophy and Objectives We believe that the quality, skills and dedication of our executive officers are critical factors affecting the company's performance and shareholder value. Accordingly, the key objective of our compensation programs is to attract, retain and motivate superior executive talent while maintaining an appropriate cost structure. In addition, our compensation programs are designed to link a substantial component of our executives' compensation to the achievement of performance goals that directly correlate to the enhancement of shareholder value. Finally, our compensation programs are designed to have the right balance of short and long-term compensation elements to ensure an appropriate focus on operational objectives and the creation of long-term value. To accomplish these objectives, the Board of Directors has structured our compensation programs to include the following key features and compensation elements:

base salaries, which generally are set below the median of our peer group companies and take into consideration the Companys cash flow and revenues; equity-based compensation, which aligns our executives' interests with those of our shareholders and promotes executive retention; and in most cases, both our performance-based and service-based restricted share units will provide for vesting over four years, thereby promoting the enhancement of long-term shareholder value and executive retention.

The Board also generally seeks to compensate its executives through determinable base cash salaries that are sensitive to the companys cash resources but that also provide for motivational incentive and maintain continuity of management. In addition, executives are given equity awards to reward performance based on the companys growth and economic achievements. The Board does not maintain fixed policies for allocating among current and long-term compensation or among cash and non-cash compensation. Instead, the Board maintains flexibility and adjusts different elements of compensation based upon its evaluation of the key compensation goals set forth above. The Board seeks to maintain a balance among fixed and variable compensation, cash and equity, and annual and longer-term incentive compensation to mitigate the risk arising from any element of compensation. While compensation levels may differ among NEOs based on competitive factors, and the performance, job criticality, experience and skill set of each specific NEO, there are no material differences in the compensation philosophies, objectives or policies for our NEOs. We do not maintain a policy regarding internal pay equity. Compensation Committee We currently do not have a standing compensation committee of our Board of Directors at the current time, which is again due to the size of our operations. As our company grows, we plan to establish a compensation committee to address this specific area. The functions of a compensation committee are currently being performed by our threemember Board.

16

Independent Consultants and Advisors The Board has the authority to retain and terminate any independent, third-party compensation consultants and to obtain advice and assistance from internal and external legal, accounting and other advisors. During our 2011 fiscal year, the Board engaged the EMCI/Hanover Group (EMCI), an independent third-party, as its independent adviser for certain executive compensation matters. EMCI was retained by the Board to provide an independent review of the company's executive compensation programs, including an analysis of both the competitive market and the design of the programs. More specifically, EMCI furnished the Board with letter reporting on the fairness of the employment contracts entered into with our chief executive officer and chief financial, which he reported as both fair and necessary to provide for continuity of management, motivational incentive and economic reward, given the progress of the company for the last two fiscal years. The company paid EMCI $1,000.00 for its consulting services related to the above mentioned advisory services. Role of Executive Officers in Compensation Decisions Since our Board is composed of our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, our executives are directly involved in all facets of our compensation structure and in the implementation of the long-term executive agreements entered into with our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer. However, in determining the fairness, which took into account the companys revenue growth and the benefit to our shareholders in providing continuity of management at this critical stage in the companys growth makes, the considerations and recommendations of the third independent Board member and the EMCI were heavily weighted. Fiscal Year 2010 Executive Compensation Summary of Fiscal Year 2010 Compensation Decisions The company achieved significant growth in revenue, as well as in adjusted and GAAP operating income, net income and earnings per share. We realized strong revenue growth across all of our market segments, maintaining a diversified and balanced business portfolio. As a result of the company's excellent performance in fiscal year 2010, we decided in 2011 to enter into long-term employment agreement with our CEO and CFO to ensure continuity of management. The agreements are discussed in this proxy statement under the heading entitled Executive Employment Agreements. Elements of Compensation We may allocate compensation among the following components for our named executive officers: base salary; annual incentive bonus awards; performance-based and service-based stock incentive awards; performance based deferred compensation; and other benefits.

As discussed above, a key element of our compensation philosophy is that a significant portion of executive compensation is comprised of lon-term elements that encourage our executives to stay with the company, which we believe provides for a stable working environment that ultimately benefits our shareholders

17

Other Benefits Executive officers are eligible to participate in all of the company's employee benefit plans, such as medical, dental, vision, group life, disability, and accidental death and dismemberment insurance, in each case on the same basis as other employees, subject to applicable law. Termination and Change of Control Arrangements Our CEO and CFO are entitled to certain termination and change of control benefits under their employment agreements. These benefits are described and quantified under the section entitled "Executive Compensation Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control." COMPENSATION RISK ASSESSMENT With the assistance of EMCI, the Board reviewed our compensation policies and practices and determined that our compensation programs do not encourage excessive or inappropriate risk-taking. While, a majority of the Board is comprised of our executive officers, the Board believes that the design and mix of our compensation programs appropriately encourage our executive and senior officers to focus on the creation of long-term shareholder value. In its review, the Board noted the following features:

base salaries, which generally are set below the median of our peer group companies and take into consideration the Companys cash flow and revenues; equity-based compensation, which aligns our executives' interests with those of our shareholders and promotes executive retention; and in most cases, both our performance-based and service-based restricted share units will provide for vesting over four years, thereby promoting the enhancement of long-term shareholder value and executive retention.

(1) Mr. Bennett was issued an option to purchase 300,000 shares of our common stock on February 8, 2007 at $0.173 under our 2006 Plan and an option to purchase 300,000 shares of our common stock on February 28, 2008. Both option grants expire on February 08, 2017. As of December 31, 2010, Mr. Bennett has not exercised his option grants.

The company has adopted the use of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, Share-Based Payment (SFAS No. 123R) (now contained in FASB Codification Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation), which supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and its related implementation guidance and eliminates the alternative to use Opinion 25s intrinsic value method of accounting that was provided in Statement 123 as originally issued. This Statement requires an entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of an equity instruments, which includes grants of stock options and stock warrants, based on the fair value of the award, measured at the grant date, (with limited exceptions). Under this standard, the fair value of each award is estimated on the grant date, using an option-pricing model that meets certain requirements. We use the Black- Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of our equity awards, including stock options and warrants. The Black-Scholes model meets the requirements of SFAS No. 123R; however, the fair values generated may not reflect their actual fair values, as it does not consider certain factors, such as vesting requirements, employee attrition and transferability limitations. The Black-Scholes model valuation is affected by our stock price and a number of assumptions, including expected volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. We estimate the expected volatility and estimated life of our stock options at grant date based on historical volatility; however, due to the thinly traded nature of our stock, we have chosen to use an average of the annual volatility of like companies in our industry. For the risk-free interest rate,

20

we use the Constant Maturity Treasury rate on 90 day government securities. The term is equal to the time until the option expires. The dividend yield is not applicable, as the company has not paid any dividends, nor do we anticipate paying them in the foreseeable future. The fair value of our restricted stock is based on the market value of our free trading common stock, on the grant date calculated using a 20 trading day average. At the time of grant, the share based-compensation expense is recognized in our financial statements based on awards that are ultimately expected to vest using historical employee attrition rates and the expense is reduced accordingly. It is also adjusted to account for the restricted and thinly traded nature of the shares. The expense is reviewed and adjusted in subsequent periods if actual attrition differs from those estimates. We re-evaluate the assumptions used to value our share-based awards on a quarterly basis and if changes warrant different assumptions, the share-based compensation expense could vary significantly from the amount expensed in the past. We may be required to adjust any remaining share-based compensation expense, based on any additions, cancellations or adjustments to the share based awards. The expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service. For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 we had $5,000, $0 and $13,000 respectively in share based expense to executives. As of December 31, 2010 we had $0 in non-vested expense to be recognized. Executive Employment Agreements On September 1, 2011, the Board approved long-term executive employment agreements with our Chief Executive Officer, Kambiz Mahdi and Chief Financial Officer John Bennett, for a period of five years from execution, unless terminated earlier pursuant to the terms of their respective agreements. Mr. Mahdi will receive an annual compensation of $150,000 per year, subject to annual increases based on the greater of the consumer price index or 5.0% to take into account annual cost of living increases and also subject to such increases as may from time to time be determined by the Board of the Directors of the Company. In addition, Mr. Mahdi will receive a severance benefit consisting of a single lump sum cash payment equal the salary that Mr. Mahdi would have been entitled to receive through the remainder or the Employment Period or two (2) years, whichever is greater. Mr. Bennett will receive an annual compensation of $140,000 per year, subject to annual increases based on the greater of the consumer price index or 5.0% to take into account annual cost of living increases and also subject to such increases as may from time to time be determined by the Board of the Directors of the Company. Additionally, Mr. Bennett will receive $40,000, payable in 8,000,000 shares of the companys common stock at $.005 per share, as a retention bonus. The shares will be issued at the rate of 1,000,000 shares per quarter, on the 15th day of each quarter, commencing on September 15, 2011 and continuing for the following seven quarters. Mr. Bennett will also receive a severance benefit consisting of a single lump sum cash payment equal the salary that Mr. Bennett would have been entitled to receive through the remainder or the Employment Period or two (2) years, whichever is greater. Potential Payments upon Termination or Change of Control Severance Benefits Mr. Mahdia will receive a severance benefit consisting of a single lump sum cash payment equal the salary that Mr. Mahdi would have been entitled to receive through the remainder or the Employment Period or two (2) years, whichever is greater.
