CUI Global, Inc.
(formerly known as Waytronx, Inc.)
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND GOING CONCERN
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information which includes condensed financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position and results of operations and should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report, Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 as well as filings made related to the acquisition of CUI, Inc.

It is management's opinion that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation. The results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year.

CUI Global, Inc. (formerly known as Waytronx, Inc.) is a platform company dedicated to maximizing shareholder value through the acquisition, development and commercialization of new, innovative technologies. Through its subsidiaries, CUI Global has built a diversified portfolio of industry leading technologies that touch many markets.

Effective May 16, 2008, CUI Global, Inc. formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Waytronx Holdings, Inc., to acquire the assets of CUI, Inc., a Tualatin, Oregon based provider of electronic components including power supplies, transformers, converters, connectors and industrial controls for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). The wholly owned subsidiary was renamed CUI, Inc. following the close of the acquisition. Through the acquisition of CUI, Inc., the Company obtained 352,589 common shares (representing a 11.54% and 10.47% interest at June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively) in Test Products International, Inc., a provider of handheld test and measurement equipment. Since its inception in 1989, CUI has been delivering quality products, extensive application solutions and superior personal service. CUI's solid customer commitment and honest corporate message are a hallmark in the industry.

Through CUI’s capabilities and extensive contacts throughout Asia, this acquisition allows CUI Global to continue to identify, acquire and commercialize new proprietary technologies. CUI Global will use CUI’s market partners and global distribution capabilities to bring other products to market, including the Novum Digital Power Modules, Solus Power Topology, Vergence GASPT2 and other proprietary devices, described below. CUI’s testing and R&D capabilities allow CUI Global to commercialize and prototype its products more efficiently and economically.

CUI defines its product into three categories: components including connectors, speakers and buzzers; control solutions including encoders and sensors; and power solutions known as V-Infinity. These offerings provide a technology architecture that addresses power and related accessories to industries ranging from consumer electronics to defense and alternative energy.

Effective July 1, 2009, CUI Global acquired 100% of CUI Japan (formerly Comex Instruments, Ltd.) and 49% of Comex Electronics Ltd. Both companies are Japanese based.  CUI Japan provides test and measurement systems and electronic components and Comex Instruments is a DSP provider of digital to analog and analog to digital test and measurement systems for OEM research and development. Effective July 1, 2011, CUI Global entered into an agreement to divest the 49% ownership of Comex Electronics as of July 1, 2011, as such, the operations of Comex Electronics are reported as discontinued operations for the current and comparable periods.  The terms of this transaction are not yet finalized.  CUI Global will continue to maintain its 100% ownership of CUI Japan.  Also during the quarter ended June 30, 2011, the Company recognized an impairment of Intangibles in Comex Electronics of $185,290 which is reflected in discontinued operations.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that CUI Global will continue as a going concern. As reflected in these financial statements, we had a net loss from continuing operations of $376,608 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, had an accumulated deficit of $73,910,972 and working capital from continuing operations of $2,371,617 as of June 30, 2011. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern which is dependent upon the ability to bring additional technologies and products to market, generate increased sales, obtain positive cash flow from operations and raise additional capital. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

If necessary, we will continue to raise additional capital to provide sufficient cash to meet the funding required to develop and commercialize our technology product lines. As we continue to expand and develop technology and product lines, additional funding may be required. There have been negative cash flows from operations and incurred net losses in the past and there can be no assurance as to the availability or terms upon which additional financing and capital might be available if needed.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates in 2011 and 2010 include estimates used to review the Company’s long-lived assets for impairment, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, valuations of non-cash capital stock issuances, valuations of derivatives and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CUI Global, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiary CUI, Inc. and CUI Japan and its 49% owned subsidiary Comex Electronics (classified as Discontinued Operations) hereafter referred to as the “Company”. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expense and other assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, notes payable and deferred compensation approximate their fair value due as of June 30, 2011.

Cash
Cash includes deposits at financial institutions with maturities of three months or less. The Company at times has cash in banks in excess of FDIC insurance limits and places its temporary cash investments with high credit quality financial institutions. At June 30, 2011, the Company had no cash balances at financial institutions which were in excess of the FDIC insured limits. The Company maintained cash balances of $106,072 from continuing operations and $324,403 from discontinued operations in foreign financial institutions.

Accounts Receivable
The Company grants credit to its customers, with standard terms of Net 30 days. Other credit terms are available based upon a review of the customer’s financial strength. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, therefore, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure is limited. In addition, the Company maintains a foreign credit receivables insurance policy that covers many of its receivable balances in effort to further reduce credit risk exposure.

Inventory
Inventory consists of finished and un-finished products. At June 30, 2011, the Company had finished goods from continuing operations of $4,646,424 and an allowance of $225,000.  The company had the following inventory from discontinued operations as of June 30, 2011:  finished goods of $325,187, $905,498 of raw materials and components, $145,541 of work-in-process, and an allowance of $190,000.

Furniture, Equipment and Software
Furniture, equipment and software are recorded at cost and include major expenditures, which increase productivity or substantially increase useful lives.

Maintenance, repairs and minor replacements are charged to expenses when incurred. When furniture and equipment is sold or otherwise disposed of, the asset and related accumulated depreciation are removed from this account, and any gain or loss is included in the statement of operations.

The cost of furniture, equipment and software is depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes. The estimated useful lives and accumulated depreciation for furniture, equipment and software are as follows:
 
   
Estimated
 
   
Useful Life
 
Furniture and equipment
    3 to 7 years  
Software
   
3 to 5 years
 

Identifiable Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are stated at cost net of accumulated amortization and impairment. Intangible assets other than goodwill, technology rights and patents are amortized over an estimated useful life of 15 years. Technology rights are amortized over the shorter of a twenty year life or the term of the rights agreement and are reviewed for impairment annually. Patent costs are amortized over the life of the patent. Any patents not approved will be expensed at that time.

Intangible assets consist of the following as of June 30, 2011:

Investment in Affiliate
Through the acquisition of CUI, Inc. the Company obtained 352,589 common shares representing an 11.54% and 10.47% interest at June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, in Test Products International, Inc., hereafter referred to as TPI. TPI is a provider of handheld test and measurement equipment. The Company enjoys a close association with this affiliate through common Board of Director membership and participation that allows for a significant amount of influence over affiliate business decisions. Accordingly, for financial statement purposes, the Company accounts for its investment in this affiliated entity under the equity method.

A summary of the unaudited financial statements of the affiliate as of June 30, 2011 is as follows:

Current assets
  $ 5,378,611

Asset Impairment
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value and may not be recoverable. In performing the review for recoverability, the future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are estimated. If the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized as the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value. Otherwise, an impairment loss is not recognized. Management estimates the fair value and the estimated future cash flows expected. Any changes in these estimates could impact whether there was impairment and the amount of the impairment.  During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company recorded impairment charges of $185,290 related to Intangibles which are held by Comex Electronics and included in discontinued operations.

Patent Costs
The Company estimates the patents it has filed have a future beneficial value; therefore it capitalizes the costs associated with filing for its patents. At the time the patent is approved, the patent costs associated with the patent are amortized over the useful life of the patent. If the patent is not approved, at that time the costs will be expensed. A change in the estimate of the patent having a future beneficial value will impact the other assets and expense accounts.

Derivative Liabilities
The Company accounts for its embedded conversion features and freestanding warrants pursuant to FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 815 (“FASB ASC 815”), “Derivatives and Hedging ”, which requires a periodic valuation of the fair value of derivative instruments and a corresponding recognition of liabilities associated with such derivatives. The recognition of derivative liabilities related to the issuance of shares of common stock is applied first to the proceeds of such issuance, at the date of issuance, and the excess of derivative liabilities over the proceeds is recognized as other expense in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The recognition of derivative liabilities related to the issuance of convertible debt is applied first to the proceeds of such issuance as a debt discount, at the date of issuance, and the excess of derivative liabilities over the proceeds is recognized as other expense in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Any subsequent increase or decrease in the fair value of the derivative liabilities is recognized as other expense or other income, respectively. The reclassification of a contract is reassessed at each balance sheet date. If a contract is reclassified from permanent equity to an asset or a liability, the change in the fair value of the contract during the period the contract was classified as equity is accounted for as an adjustment to equity. If a contract is reclassified from an asset or liability to equity, gains or losses recorded to account for the contract at fair value during the period that contract was classified as an asset or a liability are not reversed but instead are accounted for as an adjustment to equity.

Revenue Recognition
The recognition of revenues requires judgment, including whether a sale includes multiple elements, and if so, whether vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) of fair value exists for those elements. Customers receive certain elements of CUI Global products over a period of time. These elements include licensing rights to manufacture and sell our proprietary patent protected products. The ability to identify VSOE for those elements and the fair value of the respective elements could materially impact the amount of earned and unearned revenue. CUI Global does not have any history as to the costs expected to be incurred in granting licensing rights relating to its products. Therefore, revenues may be recorded that are not in proportion to the costs expected to be incurred in performing these services.

Revenues in connection with electronic devices and component sales by CUI, Inc. are recognized at the time the product is shipped to the customer.

Revenues in connection with product sales by CUI Japan and Comex Electronics are recognized at the time the product is shipped to the customer. VSOE sales also exist for CUI Japan and Comex Electronics related to the development of product for specific customers. The ability to identify VSOE for those elements and the fair value of the respective elements could materially impact the amount of earned and unearned revenue. VSOE sales are invoiced according to the related sales agreements.

Shipping and Handling Costs
Amounts billed to customers in sales transactions related to shipping and handling represent revenues earned for the goods provided and are included in sales. Costs of shipping and handling are included in cost of revenues.

Stock issued for services to other than Employees
Common stock, stock options and common stock warrants issued to other than employees or directors are recorded on the basis of their fair value, as required by FASB ASC 505, which is measured as of the date required by FASB ASC 505, “Equity – Based Payments to Non-Employees”. In accordance with FASB ASC 505, the stock options or common stock warrants are valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model on the basis of the market price of the underlying common stock on the “valuation date,” which for options and warrants related to contracts that have substantial disincentives to non-performance is the date of the contract, and for all other contracts is the vesting date. Expense related to the options and warrants is recognized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the period over which services are to be received or the vesting period. Where expense must be recognized prior to a valuation date, the expense is computed under the Black-Scholes option pricing model on the basis of the market price of the underlying common stock at the end of the period, and any subsequent changes in the market price of the underlying common stock up through the valuation date is reflected in the expense recorded in the subsequent period in which that change occurs.

Foreign Currency Translation
The financial statements of the Company's foreign offices have been translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with FASB ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Matters” (FASB ASC 830). All balance sheet accounts have been translated using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Income statement amounts have been translated using an appropriately weighted average exchange rate for the year. The translation gains and losses resulting from the changes in exchange rates during 2011 and 2010 have been reported in accumulated other comprehensive income, except for gains and losses resulting from the translation of intercompany receivables and payables, which are included in earnings for the period.

Segment Reporting
The Company has identified five operating segments based on the products offered and one discontinued segment. The six segments are External Power, Internal Power, Industrial Controls, CUI Japan, Discontinued Operations and Other. The External Power segment is focused primarily on sales of external power supplies and related components. The Internal Power segment is focused primarily on sales of internal power supplies and related components. The Industrial Controls segment is focused primarily on sales of encoding devices and related components. The CUI Japan segment is focused on the sales of CUI Japan products. The Discontinued Operations segment represents the operations of Comex Electronics which the Company entered into an agreement to divest effective July 1, 2011.  The Other category represents activity of segments that do not meet the threshold for segment reporting and are combined.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
ASU No. 2011-02; A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring (“TDR”).  In April, 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-02, intended to provide additional guidance to assist creditors in determining whether a restructuring of a receivable meets the criteria to be considered a troubled debt restructuring. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and are to be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the annual period of adoption. As a result of applying these amendments, an entity may identify receivables that are newly considered impaired. Early adoption is permitted. The Company intends to adopt the methodologies prescribed by this ASU by the date required, and is continuing to evaluate the impact of adoption of this ASU.

 
12

 

ASU No. 2011-03; Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements.  In April, 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-03. The amendments in this ASU remove from the assessment of effective control the criterion relating to the transferor’s ability to repurchase or redeem financial assets on substantially the agreed terms, even in the event of default by the transferee. The amendments in this ASU also eliminate the requirement to demonstrate that the transferor possesses adequate collateral to fund substantially all the cost of purchasing replacement financial assets.

The guidance in this ASU is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The guidance should be applied prospectively to transactions or modifications of existing transactions that occur on or after the effective date. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company will adopt the methodologies prescribed by this ASU by the date required, and does not anticipate that the ASU will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

ASU No. 2011-04; Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.   In May, 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04. The amendments in this ASU generally represent clarifications of Topic 820, but also include some instances where a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair value measurements has changed.  This ASU results in common principles and requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.  The amendments in this ASU are to be applied prospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early application by public entities is not permitted.

The Company will adopt the methodologies prescribed by this ASU by the date required, and does not anticipate that the ASU will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

ASU No. 2011-05; Amendments to Topic 220, Comprehensive Income.  In June, 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05. Under the amendments in this ASU, an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. This ASU eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. The amendments in this ASU do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income.

The amendments in this ASU should be applied retrospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted, because compliance with the amendments is already permitted. The amendments do not require any transition disclosures. Due to the recency of this pronouncement, the Company is evaluating its timing of adoption of ASU 2011-05, but will adopt the ASU retrospectively by the due date.

3. INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

Common stock equivalents in the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were anti-dilutive, thus the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for this period are the same as the basic weighted average common shares outstanding.

At June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, 11,807,108 and 21,298,608 potential common stock shares are issuable upon the exercise of warrants and options and conversion of debt to common stock.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

4.  INCOME TAXES

An income tax benefit has not been recognized for operating losses generated in prior periods based on uncertainties concerning the ability to generate taxable income in future periods. The tax benefit as of the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 is offset by a valuation allowance established against deferred tax assets arising from operating losses and other temporary differences, the realization of which could not be considered more likely than not. In future periods, tax benefits and related deferred tax assets will be recognized when management considers realization of such amounts to be more likely than not.

5.  WORKING CAPITAL LINE OF CREDIT

At June 30, 2011, the Company maintained a $4,000,000 revolving working capital line of credit with the Business Credit division of Wells Fargo Capital Finance, part of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (NYSE: WFC), interest payable monthly at the Daily Three Month LIBOR plus 3.75% (3.996% at June 30, 2011).

The 2008 Plan provides for the issuance of stock options to attract, retain and motivate employees, to encourage employees, directors and independent contractors to acquire an equity interest in the Company, to make monetary payments to certain employees based upon the value of the Company’s stock, and provide employees, directors and independent contractors with an incentive to maximize the success of the Company and further the interest of the shareholders. The 2008 Plan provides for the issuance of Incentive Stock Options and Non Statutory Options. The Administrator of the plan shall determine the exercise price per share at the time the option is granted, but the exercise price shall not be less than the fair market value on the date the option is granted. Stock options granted under the 2008 Plan have a maximum duration of 10 years.

At the 2009 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on September 29, 2009, the shareholders approved an amendment to the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan to increase the number of common shares issuable under the plan from 1,500,000 to 3,000,000. All of these shares have been registered under Form S-8.

The 2008 Equity Incentive Plans is intended to: (a) provide incentive to employees of the Company and its affiliates to stimulate their efforts toward the continued success of the Company and to operate and manage the business in a manner that will provide for the long-term growth and profitability of the Company; (b) encourage stock ownership by employees, directors and independent contractors by providing them with a means to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company by acquiring shares of Stock or to receive compensation which is based upon appreciation in the value of Stock; and (c) provide a means of obtaining and rewarding employees, directors, independent contractors and advisors.

The 2008 Equity Incentive Plans provide for the issuance of incentive stock options (ISOs) and Non Statutory Options (NSOs) to employees, directors and independent contractors of the Company. The Board shall determine the exercise price per share in the case of an ISO at the time an option is granted and such price shall be not less than the fair market value or 110% of fair market value in the case of a ten percent or greater stockholder. In the case of an NSO, the exercise price shall not be less than the fair market value of one share of stock on the date the option is granted. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, ISOs and NSOs granted under the both plans have a maximum duration of 10 years.

On January 5, 2009 the Company Board of Directors received and approved a written report and recommendations of the Compensation Committee which included a detailed executive equity compensation report and market analysis and the recommendations of Compensia, Inc., a management consulting firm that provides executive compensation advisory services to compensation committees and senior management of knowledge-based companies. The Compensation Committee used the report and analysis as a basis for its formal written recommendation to the Board. Pursuant to a January 8, 2009 board resolution the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (Executive), a Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan, was created and funded with 4,200,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock. The Compensation Committee was appointed as the Plan Administrator to manage the plan. October 11, 2010, CUI Global authorized an additional 3,060,382 options under the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (Executive).

The 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (Executive) provides for the issuance of Incentive Non Statutory Options to attract, retain and motivate executive and management employees and directors and to encourage these individuals to acquire an equity interest in the Company, to make monetary payments to certain management employees and directors based upon the value of the Company’s stock and to provide these individuals with an incentive to maximize the success of the Company and further the interest of the shareholders. The Administrator of the plan is authorized to determine the exercise price per share at the time the option is granted, but the exercise price shall not be less than the fair market value on the date the option is granted. Stock options granted under the 2009 Plan have a maximum duration of 10 years.

At December 31, 2010, there were 3,492,382 non-vested stock options. The fair value of each stock option is estimated on the date of grant using a Black Scholes Pricing Model. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company granted no stock options. The Company recognized an expense of $94,354 related to previously issued stock and unvested stock options during the six months ended June 30, 2011.

CUI, Inc. - Subsidiary
CUI, Inc., is a Tualatin, Oregon based provider of electronic components including power supplies, transformers, converters, connectors and industrial controls for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). Through CUI, Inc., the Company holds 352,589 common shares (representing a 11.54%, 11.54% and 10.47% interest at June 30, 2011, December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010, respectively) in Test Products International, Inc., a provider of handheld test and measurement equipment. Since its inception in 1989, CUI has been delivering quality products, extensive application solutions and superior personal service. CUI's solid customer commitment and honest corporate message are a hallmark in the industry. The Company does not expect any organizational changes to CUI’s operations.

Through CUI’s capabilities and extensive contacts throughout Asia, CUI Global is able to continue to identify, acquire and commercialize new proprietary technologies.  CUI Global will use CUI’s market partners and global distribution capabilities to bring other products to market, including the Novum Digital Power Modules, Solus Power Topology, Vergence GASPT2 and other proprietary devices, described below.  CUI’s testing and R&D capabilities allow CUI Global to commercialize and prototype its products more efficiently and economically.

CUI defines its product into three categories: components including connectors, speakers and buzzers; control solutions including encoders and sensors; and power solutions known as V-Infinity.  These offerings, combined with the Waytronx portfolio of cooling solutions and the Vergence GasPT2 metering device, among other technologies, provide an architecture that addresses power and related accessories, metering and thermal management to industries ranging from consumer electronics to defense and alternative energy to some of the largest natural gas providers in the World.

Digital POL Modules
CUI’s power division, V-Infinity, has developed a line of digital point-of-load (POL) modules that will utilize digital power-conversion ICs. The new Novum series is focused on providing complete, easy-to-use solutions to make digital power accessible to a wide array of users.

Vergence GASPT2 Product
Through an exclusive licensing contract with GL Industrial Services UK, Ltd. (GL), formerly British-based Advantica, Ltd., CUI Global owns exclusive rights to manufacture, sell, and distribute a Gas Quality Inferential Measurement Device (GASPT2) designed by GL on a worldwide basis, now marketed as the Vergence GasPT2.

The Vergence GASPT2, designed by GL, is a low cost solution to measuring gas quality.  It can be connected to a natural gas system to provide a fast, accurate, close to real time measurement of the gas physical properties, such as thermal conductivity, speed of sound and carbon dioxide content.  From these measurements it infers an effective gas mixture comprising four components: methane, propane, nitrogen, and measured carbon dioxide and then uses ISO6976 to calculate the gas quality characteristics of calorific value (CV), Wobbe index (WI), relative density (RD), and compression factor (Z).  Through Bluetooth Technology, this information can be provided to a remote, centralized monitoring facility.  This licensing contract anticipates between $35,000,000 and $40,000,000 in sales during the first four years of the agreement.  According to our review, the market studies commissioned by GL and GL's experience in the natural gas industry all demonstrate that these contract numbers are conservative and achievable.

As of June 30, 2011, the Company had reached agreements with several European and US companies to place beta test units for both laboratory and in-field testing.  During the second quarter of 2011, the Company delivered beta test units to SNAM RETE in Italy; National Grid in the UK; and GASUNIE in The Netherlands.  These beta test programs are expected to last between 90 and 180 days.  In addition, the company has reached agreement with ENAGAS in Spain and GAZ-SYSTEMS in Poland to begin beta testing within the next thirty (30) days.  The company then intends to provide beta units to several North American companies, with the deliveries expected to be completed during the third quarter of 2011.

Impact of Japan Earthquake and Tsunami of 2011
CUI Global, Inc. subsidiaries CUI Japan and Comex Electronics did not experience any damages to facilities or injuries to employees as a result of the March 2011 earthquake and subsequent tsunami.  CUI Global continues to analyze the broader effects on its industries and its business.  While the Japan subsidiaries are a relatively small component of CUI Global, Inc.’s total revenue, Japan is a large supplier to the global market for semiconductors and other components.  The electronics industry, as well as many other industries, source components from Japan.  It is most likely that the events in Japan will affect the supply of components.  Business continuity plans and work to assess the impact, if any, on CUI Global, Inc. and mitigation activities has been ongoing since the event took place.  We will continue to closely monitor the situation in Japan to take further action where necessary.  In addition, during the quarter ended June 30, 2011, the Company recorded an impairment expense on the Intangible, Comex Electronics of $185,290 which is reported as discontinued operations.  Additionally, the Company has reached an agreement to divest its 49% ownership of Comex Electronics to be effective July 1, 2011.  The terms of this transaction are not yet finalized.  CUI Global will continue to maintain its 100% ownership of CUI Japan.
 
WayCool/WayFast
While we continue to believe in the value and viability of the WayCool/WayFast technology and related patent portfolio, we have yet to hear back from our submission to DARPA. Moreover, a thorough analysis of the WayCool/WayFast Technology reveals that development will consume significant additional monies and as much as two to three years of development. Taking those facts into account, the Company has made the decision to postpone any further development of the technology while it continues to seek other options for commercializing this technology, including continuing its relationship with Innovaro. In 2010, the Company recorded impairment charges of $3,105,956 on the technology rights and $418,185 on patents associated with the WayCool/WayFast technology.

Intellectual Property

The Company relies on various intellectual property laws and contractual restrictions to protect its proprietary rights in products, logos and services.  These include confidentiality, invention assignment, and nondisclosure agreements with employees, contractors, suppliers and strategic partners.  The confidentiality and nondisclosure agreements with employees, contractors and suppliers are in perpetuity or for a sufficient length of time so as to not threaten exposure of proprietary information.

CUI Global continues to file and protect its intellectual property rights, trademarks and products through filings with the US Patent and Trademark Office and, as applicable, internationally.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
General
Cash and cash equivalents from continuing operations at June 30, 2011 are $214,058 and there is working capital from continuing operations of $2,371,617.  Operations and investments in patents and equipment have been funded through cash from operations, proceeds from equity financings and borrowings from financial institutions during the six month period.

Cash provided by (used in) operations
Operating requirements generated a positive cash flow from continuing operations of $503,168 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, versus $165,119 for the same period last year.  The improvement in cash provided by (used in) operations is primarily the result of the lower net loss incurred in the first two quarters of 2011 associated with a decrease in non-cash interest expense and increase in sales and gross profit, a decrease in bad debt expense, increase in depreciation and amortization expenses, an increase in trade accounts receivable, an increase in inventory, increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets, decreased deposits and other assets, increase in accounts payable, increase in accrued expenses, a decrease in accrued compensation and an increase in unearned revenue.

During the first six months of 2011 and 2010 stock options have been used as a form of payment to certain consultants, note holders, employees and directors.  For the first six months of 2011 and 2010, a total of $136,354 and $26,093, respectively, was recorded for compensation and services expense including amortization of deferred compensation related to equity given, or to be given, to employees, directors and consultants for services provided.

During the six months ended June 30, 2011 the Company had positive cash flow from discontinued operations of $334,776 as compared to a negative cash flow in the prior year comparative period of $454,194.  This improvement is primarily the result of the settlement gain on debt and the impairment of Intangible, Comex Electronics during the six months ended June 30, 2011.

As the Company focuses on technology development and product line additions during 2011, it will continue to fund research and development together with related sales and marketing efforts for its various product offerings.

Capital Expenditures and Investments
The Company invested $0 in technology rights and development during the first six months of 2011.  During the prior year, the Company invested $20,651 in technology rights and development, which is now reported as discontinued operations.

CUI Global invested $6,646 in patent costs during the first six months of 2011 as compared to $4,330 for the same period last year.  It is expected that investment in patent costs will continue throughout 2011 as patents are pursued in order to protect the rights to use its product developments.

The Company invested $17,543 in other intangible assets during the first six months of 2011 as compared to $0 for the same period last year.

During the first six months of 2011 and 2010, there was $175,127 and $250,382 investment in property and equipment, respectively.

Financing activities
During the first six months of 2011, the Company received proceeds of $177,729 from notes and loans payable, and the Company received proceeds of $112,566 on demand notes payable, $184,369 of payments were made against notes and loans payable, $357,862 of payments were made against notes and loans payable, related party and $50,000 of proceeds were received in relation to the exercise of warrants.  CUI Global plans on raising the capital needed to fund the further development and marketing of its products as well as payment of its debt obligations.

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, net cash used in discontinued financing activities for discontinued operations included $648,218 of payments made against notes and loans payable.

Recap of liquidity and capital resources
The report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our financial statements as of December 31, 2010 contains an explanatory paragraph expressing uncertainty with respect to our ability to continue as a going concern.  Prior to the acquisition of CUI, Inc. the Company was not generating significant revenues to fund operations.  Management believes the Company to be generating sufficient revenues to fund operations.  As of June 30, 2011 the Company had an accumulated deficit of $73,910,972.

The Company may seek to raise additional capital for the commercialization and further development of its product and technology offerings as well as to further reduce debt.  The Company believes its operations and existing financing structure will provide sufficient cash to meet its short-term working capital requirements for the next twelve months.  As the Company continues to expand and develop its technology and product lines as well as retire debt, additional funding sources may be required.  The Company will attempt to raise these funds through borrowing instruments or issuing additional equity.

At June 30, 2011, the Company maintained a $4,000,000 revolving working capital line of credit with the Business Credit division of Wells Fargo Capital Finance, part of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (NYSE:WFC), interest payable monthly at the Daily Three Month LIBOR plus 3.75% (3.996 at June 30, 2011).  The Wells Fargo LOC expires July 31, 2013.  As of the date of this filing, the Company is compliant with all covenants on the new line of credit with Wells Fargo Capital Finance.  At June 30, 2011, the balance outstanding on the line of credit was $1,791,691.

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company received $50,000 from equity investments through the exercise of warrants.

The Company expects the revenues from CUI, Inc. and CUI Japan to help cover operating and other expenses for the next twelve months of operations.  If revenues are not sufficient to cover all operating and other expenses, additional funding will be required.  There is no assurance the Company will be able to raise such additional capital.  The failure to raise capital or generate product sales in the expected time frame will have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Results of Operations

Revenue
During the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, revenue was $19,419,413 and $16,520,910, respectively.  The revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2011 is comprised of $19,301,291 from CUI products, $81,020 from CUI Japan products, and $37,102 for freight.  The revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2010 is comprised of $16,333,369 from CUI products, $151,032 from CUI Japan products, $36,414 for freight, and $95 from RediAlert™ products.

During the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, revenue was $9,878,862 and $9,989,515, respectively.  The revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2011 is comprised of $9,813,166 from CUI products, $47,552 from CUI Japan products and $18,144 from freight.  The revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2010 is comprised of $9,852,368 from CUI products, $120,880 from CUI Japan and Comex Electronics products and $16,267 for freight.
 
The increase in revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2011 is the result of continued product introductions, the enhanced sales group including external sales representatives and the overall improvement in the electronics industry.  The slight decrease in the three months ended June 30, 2011 is attributable to a significantly increased first three months of the year and timing related to receipt and delivery of goods to customers.

Cost of revenues
The cost of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $11,858,968 and $10,074,192, respectively.  For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the cost of revenue was $5,993,305 and $6,151,090, respectively.
 
The cost of revenues as a percentage of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2011 remained consistent at 61.07% as compared to 60.98% during the prior year comparative period.  For the three months ended June 30, 2011, the cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue improved slightly to 60.67% from 61.58% in the prior year period.  This percentage will vary based upon the product mix sold during the period and is also dependent upon the competitive markets in which the Company competes.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) expenses include such items as wages, commissions, consulting, general office expenses, business promotion expenses and costs of being a public company, including legal and accounting fees, insurance and investor relations.

For the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010, SG&A expenses increased $1,223,178.  The increase is primarily associated with the increase in overall business activity.  As a percentage of total revenue, SG&A expenses have increased 1.22% as compared to the first six months of 2010.

Research and Development
The research and development costs are related to the development of technology and products.  Research and development costs were $330,261 and $196,406, for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The increase in this expense is associated with continued research and development of new and existing technologies including the Novum digital power modules, Solus advanced power topology, Vergence GasPT2, and other products.

Bad Debt
The bad debt expense for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $15,449 and $14,945, respectively.  The bad debt expense for both periods relates to several individual customers.

Other Income
Other income for the six months ended June 30, 2011, consisted of $11,258 from the recovery of bad debts, $9,474 of gain on foreign exchange, $3,799 of interest income and $235 of miscellaneous income.  Other income for the six months ended June 30, 2010, consisted of $22,798 gain on foreign exchange, $16,793 recovery of bad debts, $14,895 of interest income, $12,090 of rental income, and $2,683 of miscellaneous income.

Investment Income
The Company recognized income of $4,571 on equity investment in affiliate for the six months ended June 30, 2011.  For the same period ended 2010, the Company recognized income of $21,872 on equity investment in an affiliate.

Convertible debt and amortization of debt discount and debt offering costs
The Company recorded an expense of $106,027 and $297,247, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, and $2,506,844 and $3,248,699 for the same periods in 2010, for the amortization of debt discount and debt offering costs.  The decrease in expense in 2011 is related to the reduction in the debt discount related to the 2009 and 2010 reductions of debt and related debt discounts associated with the convertible note and note payable used to fund the acquisition of CUI, Inc.

Interest Expense
The interest expense of $456,854 and $650,642 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 respectively is for interest on the bank operating line of credit, bank loans, and secured and unsecured promissory notes.  The decrease is primarily due to the reduction of debt in 2010 and the first six months of 2011 through debt settlements and principal payments.

Profit (loss) from discontinued operations
During the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the loss from discontinued operations was $131,830 and $37,070, respectively.  For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the loss from discontinued operations was $6,910 and $72,601, respectively.

During the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, CUI Global recognized gain on debt extinguishments from discontinued operations of $475,689 and $0, respectively.  There was no gain on debt extinguishments during the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

Critical Accounting Policies 
Our financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenue and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use if estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.

Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 2 of our financial statements. While all these significant accounting policies impact its financial condition and results of operations, we view certain of these policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on our financial statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Our management believes that given current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any other reasonable judgments or estimate methodologies would cause effect on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity for the periods presented in this report.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
ASU No. 2011-02; A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring (“TDR”).  In April, 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-02, intended to provide additional guidance to assist creditors in determining whether a restructuring of a receivable meets the criteria to be considered a troubled debt restructuring. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and are to be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the annual period of adoption. As a result of applying these amendments, an entity may identify receivables that are newly considered impaired. Early adoption is permitted. The Company intends to adopt the methodologies prescribed by this ASU by the date required, and is continuing to evaluate the impact of adoption of this ASU.

ASU No. 2011-03; Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements.  In April, 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-03. The amendments in this ASU remove from the assessment of effective control the criterion relating to the transferor’s ability to repurchase or redeem financial assets on substantially the agreed terms, even in the event of default by the transferee. The amendments in this ASU also eliminate the requirement to demonstrate that the transferor possesses adequate collateral to fund substantially all the cost of purchasing replacement financial assets.

The guidance in this ASU is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The guidance should be applied prospectively to transactions or modifications of existing transactions that occur on or after the effective date. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company will adopt the methodologies prescribed by this ASU by the date required, and does not anticipate that the ASU will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

ASU No. 2011-04; Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.   In May, 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04. The amendments in this ASU generally represent clarifications of Topic 820, but also include some instances where a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair value measurements has changed.  This ASU results in common principles and requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.  The amendments in this ASU are to be applied prospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early application by public entities is not permitted.

 
21

 

The Company will adopt the methodologies prescribed by this ASU by the date required, and does not anticipate that the ASU will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

ASU No. 2011-05; Amendments to Topic 220, Comprehensive Income.  In June, 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05. Under the amendments in this ASU, an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. This ASU eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. The amendments in this ASU do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income.

The amendments in this ASU should be applied retrospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted, because compliance with the amendments is already permitted. The amendments do not require any transition disclosures. Due to the recency of this pronouncement, the Company is evaluating its timing of adoption of ASU 2011-05, but will adopt the ASU retrospectively by the due date.

Item 4. 
Controls and Procedures
 
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Our management, which includes our CEO and our CFO, have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-14(c) promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of a date (the “Evaluation Date”) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
 
Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, our CEO and our CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the information relating to our company, required to be disclosed in our Securities and Exchange Commission reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our CFO, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure as a result of material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
