SURGE COMPONENTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

August 31, 2010

NOTE A – ORGANIZATION, DESCRIPTION OF COMPANY'S BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Surge Components, Inc. (“Surge”) was incorporated in the State of New York and commenced operations on November 24, 1981 as an importer of electronic products, primarily capacitors and rectifiers, to customers located principally throughout the United States. On June 24, 1988, Surge formed Challenge/Surge Inc., (“Challenge”) a wholly-owned subsidiary to engage in the distribution of electronic component products from established brand manufacturers to customers located principally throughout the United States.

In May 2002, Surge and an officer of Surge became sole owners of Surge Components, Limited (“Surge Limited”), a Hong Kong corporation. Under current Hong Kong law, Surge Limited is required to have at least two shareholders. Surge owns 999 shares of the outstanding common stock and the officer of Surge owns 1 share of the outstanding common stock. The officer of Surge has assigned his rights regarding his 1 share to Surge. Surge Limited started doing business in July 2002. Surge Limited operations have been consolidated with the Company.

On August 31, 2010, the Company changed its corporate domicile by merging into a newly-formed corporation, Surge Components, Inc. (Nevada), which was formed in the State of Nevada for that purpose. Surge Components Inc. is the surviving entity.

NOTE B – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

[1] Principles of Consolidation:

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Surge, Challenge, and Surge Limited (collectively the “Company”). All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

SURGE COMPONENTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

August 31, 2010

NOTE B – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(Continued)

[1] Principles of Consolidation (Continued):

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared, without audit, in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q for interim financial reporting pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The results and trends on these interim consolidated financial statements for the nine and three months ended August 31, 2010 and 2009 may not be representative of those for the full fiscal year or any future periods.

(2) Accounts Receivable:

Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the net invoice value and are not interest bearing. The Company considers receivables past due based on the contractual payment terms. The Company reviews its exposure to amounts receivable and reserves specific amounts if collectability is no longer reasonably assured. The Company also reserves a percentage of its trade receivable balance based on collection history and current economic trends that might impact the level of future credit losses. The Company re-evaluates such reserves on a regular basis and adjusts its reserves as needed. Based on the Company’s operating history and customer base, bad debts to date have not been material.

[3] Revenue Recognition:

Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed and determinable, collectability is reasonably assured and title and risk of loss have been transferred to the customer. This primarily occurs when product is shipped from the Company's warehouse. For direct shipments, revenue is recognized when product is shipped from the Company’s supplier. The Company acts as a sales agent for certain customers for one of its suppliers. The Company reports these commissions as revenues in the period earned.

SURGE COMPONENTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

August 31, 2010

NOTE B – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(Continued)

[3] Revenue Recognition (Continued):

The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains reserves for potential credit losses.

[4] Inventories:

Inventories, which consist solely of products held for resale, are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. Products are included in inventory when the Company obtains title and risk of loss on the products, primarily when shipped from the supplier. Inventory in transit principally from foreign suppliers at August 31, 2010 approximated $869,081. The Company, at August 31, 2010, has a reserve against slow moving and obsolete inventory of $818,640. Legislation was enacted, effective July 2006, eliminating lead in certain of the Company’s products. The Company has provided a reserve for these products which is reflected as slow moving. The Company is able to currently obtain products which comply with this law.

[5] Depreciation and Amortization:

Fixed assets are recorded at cost. Depreciation is generally on a straight line method and amortization of leasehold improvements is provided for on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the various assets as follows:

Furniture, fixtures and equipment	5 - 7 years
Computer equipment	5 years
Leasehold Improvements	Estimated useful life or lease term, whichever is shorter

Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred while renewals and betterments are capitalized.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

August 31, 2010

NOTE B – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(Continued)

[6] Concentration of Credit Risk:

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable. The Company maintains substantially all of its cash balances in two financial institutions. The balances are each insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000 through December 31, 2013. At August 31, 2010, the Company's uninsured cash balances totaled approximately $640,848.

[7] Income Taxes:

The Company's deferred income taxes arise primarily from the differences in the recording of net operating losses, allowances for bad debts, inventory reserves and depreciation expense for financial reporting and income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is provided when it has been determined to be more likely than not that the likelihood of the realization of deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The Company follows the provisions of the Accounting Standards Codification topic, ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (ASC 740).There have been no unrecognized tax benefits and, accordingly, there has been no effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations as a result of ASC 740.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal tax examinations for years before fiscal years ending November 30, 2007, and state tax examinations for years before fiscal years ending November 30, 2006. Management does not believe there will be any material changes in our unrecognized tax positions over the next twelve months.

The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. As of the date of adoption of ASC 740, there was no accrued interest or penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits, nor was any interest expense recognized during the years ended November 30, 2009 and 2008.

August 31, 2010

NOTE B – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICI (Continued)

[8] Cash Equivalents:

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

[9] 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 and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(10) Marketing and promotional costs:

Marketing and promotional costs are expensed as incurred and have not been material to date. The Company has contractual arrangements with several of its distributors which provide for cooperative advertising obligations. Cooperative advertising is expensed as incurred and has not been material to date.

[11] Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

Cash balances and the carrying amount of the accrued expenses approximate their fair value based on the nature of those items. Estimated fair values of financial instruments are determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is required to interpret the market data used to develop the estimates of fair value, and accordingly, the estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a current market exchange.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

August 31, 2010

NOTE B – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(12) Shipping Costs

The Company classifies shipping costs as a component of selling expenses. Shipping costs totaled $12,293 and $5,744 for the nine months ended August 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

(13) Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The difference between reported basic and diluted weighted-average common shares results from the assumption that all dilutive stock options and convertible preferred stock exercised into common stock. Total potentially dilutive shares excluded from diluted weighted shares outstanding at August 31, 2010 and 2009 totaled 600,000 and 694,000, respectively.

(14) Recent Accounting Standards:

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-13, “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) – Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements.” ASU No. 2009-13 eliminates the residual method of allocation and requires that arrangement consideration be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method and expands the disclosures related to multiple deliverable revenue arrangements. ASU No. 2009-13 is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with earlier adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU No. 2009-13 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

August 31, 2010

NOTE B – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(14) Recent Accounting Standards (continued):

In September 2009, the FASB also ratified authoritative accounting guidance requiring the sales of all tangible products containing both software and non-software components that function together to deliver the product’s essential functionality to be excluded from the scope of the software revenue guidance. The Company adopted the guidance on a prospective basis during the three months ended September 27, 2009 effective for all periods in 2009. Prior to the adoption of this guidance, the Company assessed all software items included in the Company’s product offerings to be incidental to the product itself and, therefore, excluded all sales from the scope of the related software revenue guidance. As a result, the adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE C - FIXED ASSETS

NOTE D – RETIREMENT PLAN

In June 1997, the Company adopted a qualified 401(k) plan for all full-time employees who are twenty-one years of age and have completed twelve months of service. The Plan allows total employee contributions of up to fifteen percent (15%) of the eligible employee’s salary through salary reduction. The Company makes a matching contribution of twenty percent (20%) of each employee’s contribution for each dollar of employee deferral up to five percent (5%) of the employee’s salary. Net assets for the plan, as estimated by Union Central, Inc., which maintains the plan’s records, were approximately $648,000 at November 30, 2009. Pension expense for the nine months ended August 31, 2010 and 2009 was $5,420 and $144, respectively.

[1] Preferred Stock:

In February 1996, the Company amended its Certificate of Incorporation to authorize the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series. In August 2010, the number of preferred shares authorized for issuance was increased to 5,000,000 shares.

In January 2000, the Company authorized 260,000 shares of preferred stock as Non-Voting Redeemable Convertible Series A Preferred Stock. None of the Series A preferred stock is outstanding as of November 30, 2006.

In November 2000, the Company authorized 200,000 shares of preferred stock as Voting Redeemable Convertible Series B Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred”). No shares of Series B Preferred Stock are currently issued or outstanding.

NOTE E – SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

[1] Preferred Stock (continued):

In November 2000, the Company authorized 100,000 shares of preferred stock as Non-Voting Redeemable Convertible Series C Preferred Stock (“Series C Preferred”). Each share of Series C Preferred is automatically convertible into 10 shares of the Company’s Common Stock upon shareholder approval. If the Series C Preferred were not converted into common stock on or before April 15, 2001, these shares were entitled to cumulative dividends at the rate of $.50 per share per annum commencing April 15, 2001 payable on June 30 and December 31 of each year. In November 2000, 70,000 shares of the Series C Preferred were issued in payment of financial consulting services to its investment banker and a shareholder of the Company. In April 2001, 8,000 shares of the Series C Preferred were repurchased and cancelled. Dividends aggregating $174,475 have not been declared or paid for the semiannual periods ended December 31, 2001 through the semiannual payment due December 31, 2010. The Company has accrued these dividends.

In April 2002, in connection with a Mutual Release, Settlement, Standstill and Non-Disparagement Agreement and among other provisions, certain investors transferred back to the Company 252,000 shares of common stock, 19,300 shares of Series C preferred stock, and certain warrants, in exchange for $225,000. These repurchased shares were cancelled.

In February 2006, the Company settled with a shareholder to repurchase 10,000 shares of Series C preferred stock plus accrued dividends for $50,000.

At August 31, 2010, there are 32,700 shares of Series C Preferred stock issued and outstanding.

[2] 1995 Employee Stock Option Plan:

In January 1996, the Company adopted, and in February 1996 the shareholders ratified, the 1995 Employee Stock Option Plan (“Option Plan”). The plan provides for the grant of options to qualified employees of the Company, independent contractors, consultants and other individuals to purchase an aggregate of 350,000 common shares. In March 1998, the Option Plan was amended to increase the number of aggregate Common Shares available under the plan to 850,000.

The employee stock option plan has expired. The remaining 53,000 options outstanding expired in July 2010.

(3) 2010 Incentive Stock Plan

In March 2010, the Company adopted, and in April 2010 the shareholders ratified, the 2010 Incentive Stock Plan (“Stock Plan”). The plan provides for the grant of options to officers, employees or consultants to the Company to purchase an aggregate of 1,500,000 common shares.

Stock option incentive plan activity is summarized as follows:

			Weighted Average

NOTE F – INCOME TAXES

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes using the enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Because of the questionable ability of the Company to utilize these deferred tax assets, the Company has established a 100% valuation allowance for these assets.

NOTE G– RENTAL COMMITMENTS

The Company leases its office and warehouse space through 2010 from a corporation that is controlled by officers/shareholders of the Company (“Related Company”). Annual minimum rental payments to the Related Company approximated $212,000 for the Fiscal 2009, and increase at the rate of three per cent per annum throughout the lease term.

Pursuant to the lease, rent expense charged to operations differs from rent paid because of scheduled rent increases. Accordingly, the Company has recorded deferred rent. Rent expense is calculated by allocating to rental payments, including those attributable to scheduled rent increases, on a straight line basis, over the lease term.

In June 2010, the Company entered into a lease to rent office space in Hong Kong for two years. Annual minimum rental payments are approximately $20,000.

The future minimum rental commitments at November 30, 2009:

Year Ending November 30,
2010		199,600
2011		20,000
2012		10,000

	$	229,600

Net rental expense for the nine months ended August 31, 2010 and 2009, were $151,969 and $152,608 respectively, of which $158,682 was paid to the Related Company. Commencing in May 2006, the Company had sublet certain of its space it occupies. The sublease whose term is for five years, includes a base rent, which increases over the term, and provides for additional rent for a portion of the real estate taxes and certain operating expenses.

In October, the Company renewed their office and warehouse space for ten years. Annual minimum rental payments to the related party approximate $156,000, and increase at the rate of two per cent per annum throughout the lease term.

NOTE H – EMPLOYMENT AND OTHER AGREEMENTS

The Company has employment agreements, with terms through July 30, 2009 (renewable on each July 30th for an additional one year period) with two officers/stockholders of the Company, which provides each with a base salary of $225,000, subject to certain increases as defined, per annum, plus fringe benefits and bonuses. The Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors determines the bonuses. The agreement also contains provisions prohibiting the officers from engaging in activities, which are competitive with those of the Company during employment and for one year following termination. The agreements further provide that in the event of a change of control, as defined, or a change in ownership of at least 25% of the issued and outstanding stock of the Company, and such issuance was not approved by either officer, or if they are not elected to the Board of Directors of the Company and/or are not elected as an officer of the Company, then the non-approving officer may elect to terminate his employment agreement. If he elects to terminate the agreement, he will receive 2.99 times his annual compensation (or such other amount then permitted under the Internal Revenue Code without an excess penalty), in addition to the remainder of his compensation under his existing employment contract. In addition, if the Company makes or receives a “firm commitment” for a public offering of Common Shares, each officer will receive a warrant to purchase, at a nominal value, up to 9.5% of the Company’s common stock, provided they do not voluntarily terminate employment. In April 2010, the Board of Directors approved the officers receiving $25,000 bonus each.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

This filing contains forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this filing, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. This filing involves known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terms such as "may," "will," "should," "expects," "plans," "anticipates," "could," "intends," "target," "projects," "contemplates," "believes," "estimates," "predicts," "potential" or "continue" or the negative of these terms or other similar words. These statements are only predictions. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We discuss many of the risks in greater detail under the heading "Risk Factors” under our registration statement on Form 10, as amended, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Also, these forward-looking statements represent our estimates and assumptions only as of the date of the filing of this report. Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements after the date of the filing of this report.

This filing also contains estimates and other statistical data made by independent parties and by us relating to market size and growth and other industry data. This data involves a number of assumptions and limitations, and investors are cautioned not to give undue weight to such estimates. We have not independently verified the statistical and other industry data generated by independent parties and contained in this report and, accordingly, we cannot guarantee their accuracy or completeness. In addition, projections, assumptions and estimates of our future performance and the future performance of the industries in which we operate are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors, including those described in “Risk Factors”under our registration statement on Form 10, as amended, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission . These and other factors could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in the estimates made by the independent parties and by us.

Overview

We are a supplier of electronic products and components. These products include capacitors, which are electrical energy storage devices, and discrete components, such as semiconductor rectifiers, transistors and diodes, which are single function low power semiconductor products that are packaged alone as compared to integrated circuits such as microprocessors. The products that we sell are typically utilized in the electronic circuitry of diverse products, including, but not limited to, automobiles, cellular telephones, computers, consumer electronics, garage door openers, household appliances, power supplies and security equipment. The products that we sell are sold to both original equipment manufacturers, commonly referred to as OEMs, who incorporate them into their products, and to distributors of the lines of products we sell, who resell these products within their customer base. The products that we sell are manufactured predominantly in Asia by approximately sixteen independent manufacturers. We do not have any binding long-term supply agreements, with our suppliers. We act as the exclusive sales agent utilizing independent sales representative organizations in North America to sell and market the products for one such manufacturer pursuant to an oral agreement. . As the exclusive sales agent for this manufacturer, we are solely responsible for marketing and selling its products in North America. When we act as a sales agent, the supplier who sold the product to the customer that we introduced to such supplier will pay us a commission. The amount of the commission is determined on a sale by sale basis depending on the profit margin of the product. Such commissions have not been material to date.

Challenge engages in the electronic components business. In 1999, Challenge began a division to sell audible components. Since 2002 this division has grown by 22%. We have been able to increase the types of products that we sell because some of our suppliers introduced new products, and we also located other products from new suppliers. As a result we are continually trying to add to the types of products that we sell. In 2002 we started to import products similar to our parent company Surge, and sold these under the Challenge name. It started with a line of transducers, then we added battery snaps, and coin cell holders. In the past nine years we have increased our imported private label product mix to include buzzers, speakers, microphones, resonators, filters, and discriminators. We now also work with our suppliers to have our suppliers customize many of the products we sell for many customers through the customers’ own designs and those that we work with our suppliers to have our suppliers redesign for them at our suppliers’ factories. Five years ago, we hired a design engineer on our staff that had thirty years experience with these types of products, who works with our suppliers on such redesigns. We continue to expand the line of products we sell, we now are selling alarms and chimes. We sell these products through independent representatives that make a 5-6% commission rate on the gross sale of the products we sell. We also are working with local, regional, and National distributors to sell these products to local accounts in every state. We do not have contractual authority from our manufactures to modify any of the products that we distribute.

As a result of voluntarily registering our stock on the Form 10, we have become obligated to file annual, quarterly and current reports with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Sarbanes-Oxley”) and the new rules subsequently implemented by the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board have imposed various new requirements on public companies, including requiring changes in corporate governance practices. We expect these rules and regulations to increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities of our more time-consuming and costly. We expect to spend between $125,000 and $150,000 in legal and accounting expenses annually to comply with our reporting obligations and Sarbanes-Oxley. These costs could affect profitability and our results of operations.

In 2002, the Company opened a Hong Kong office and hired direct sales people in order to effectively handle the transfer business from United States customers purchasing and manufacturing in Asia after they do the design in America. This office has strengthened its global capabilities and service to its customer base

The electronic components industry is currently experiencing a period of strong demand. In addition, management believes that manufacturers are not expanding production capacity because they are unsure of how long the period of strong demand will last. Management believes that demand for the electronic components will be strong through the end of the current calendar year before leveling off in 2011.

In order for us to grow, we will depend on, among other things, the continued growth of the electronics and semiconductor industries, our ability to withstand intense price competition, our ability to obtain new clients, our ability to retain sales and other personnel in order to expand our marketing capabilities, our ability to secure adequate sources of products, which are in demand on commercially reasonable terms, our success in managing growth, including monitoring an expanded level of operations and controlling costs, and the availability of adequate financing.

Critical Accounting Policies

Accounts Receivable:

The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on the Company’s assessment of the collectability of specific customer accounts and an assessment of international, political and economic risk as well as the aging of the accounts receivable. If there is a change in actual defaults from the Company’s historical experience, the Company’s estimates of recoverability of amounts due could be affected and the Company would adjust the allowance accordingly.

Revenue Recognition:

The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains reserves for potential credit losses.

Inventory Valuation

Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost or market. Write-downs of inventories to market value are based on stock rotation, historical sales requirements and obsolescence as well as assumptions about future market demand and market conditions. Reserves required for obsolescence were not material in any of the periods in the financial statements presented. A significant portion (approximately $500,000) of the total amount of the reserves relate to a product line for which demand dropped significantly as a result of a change in an environmental law several years ago. If market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional write-downs of inventories could be required. For example, each additional 1% of obsolete inventory would reduce operating income by approximately $18,000.

The Company does not have price protection agreements with any of its vendors and assumes the risk of changes in the prices of its products. The Company does not believe there to be a significant risk with regards to the lack of price protection agreements as many of its inventory items are purchased to fulfill purchase orders received.

Results of Operations

Comparison of nine and three months ended August 31, 2010 and August 31, 2009

Consolidated net sales for the nine months ended August 31, 2010 increased by $7,044,139 or 82%, to $15,620,352 as compared to net sales of $8,576,213 for the nine months ended August 31, 2009. Consolidated net sales for the three months ended August 31, 2010 increased by $2,733,923 or 82%, to $6,067,148 as compared to net sales of $3,333,225 for the three months ended August 31, 2009. We attribute the increase to additional business with existing customers and new customers. The increase in sales is solely attributable to increase in volume, as prices for the products we sell have not increased. The electronic components industry is currently experiencing a high demand in products and the Company is benefiting from that with an increase in volume.

Our gross profit for the nine months ended August 31, 2010 increased by $2,237,410, or 92%, as compared the nine months ended August 31, 2009. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales increased to 29.8% the nine months ended August 31, 2010 compared to 28.3% for the nine months ended August 31, 2009. Our gross profit for the three months ended August 31, 2010 increased by $878,799, or 94%, as compared the three months ended August 31, 2009. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales increased to 29.9% the three months ended August 31, 2010 compared to 28.1% for the three months ended August 31, 2009. We attribute the increase to new more profitable business and cutting costs, including an increase in the amount of purchase rebates earned from certain vendors.

Selling and shipping expenses for the nine months ended August 31, 2010 was $1,248,187, an increase of $495,569, or 66%, as compared to $752,618 the nine months ended August 31, 2009. Selling and shipping expenses for the three months ended August 31, 2010 was $450,531, an increase of $173,862, or 63%, as compared to $276,669 the three months ended August 31, 2009.The increase is directly related to the increase in sales for the Company. Specifically the increase is due to additional sales commissions, selling expenses, such as travel and freight out expense.

General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended August 31, 2010 was $1,836,010, an increase of $357,379, or 24%, as compared to $1,478,631 for the nine months ended August 31, 2009. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended August 31, 2010 was $634,279, an increase of $168,968 or 36%, as compared to $465,311 for the three months ended August 31, 2009. The increase is due to increased professional fees associated with the Company becoming a reporting company with the SEC and additional compensation in the amount of $50,000 approved by the Board for the officers and directors of the Company.

Investment income for the nine months ended August 31, 2010 was $3,522, compared to $6,106 for the nine months ended August 31, 2009. We attribute the decrease of $2,584, or 42%, to lower interest rates in our money market accounts in 2010. Investment income for the three months ended August 31, 2010 and 2009 remained relatively flat.

Interest expense for the nine months ended August 31, 2010 was $90,270, compared to $89,799 for the nine months ended August 31, 2009. Interest expense remained relatively unchanged between the two periods. Interest rates have been comparable for the last year. Interest expense for the three months ended August 31, 2010 and 2009 remained relatively flat.

Income taxes for the nine months ended August 31, 2010 were $9,137, compared to $5,006 for the nine months ended August 31, 2009. The difference is a result of state income taxes.

As a result of the foregoing, net income for the nine months ended August 31, 2010 was $1,376,298, compared to net loss of $8,758 for the nine months ended August 31, 2009.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of August 31, 2010 we had cash of $862,748, and working capital of $4,096,028. We believe that our working capital levels and available financing are adequate to meet our operating requirements during the next twelve months.

During the nine months ended August 31, 2010, we had net cash flow from operating activities of $500,359, as compared to net cash from operating activities of $176,137 for the nine months ended August 31, 2009. The increase in cash flow from operating activities resulted from increase in the 2010 profit, increase in accounts receivable and inventory offset by increase in accounts payable. The significant increase in accounts receivable in the current quarter was a direct result in the increase in revenues. As a result of these increased revenues, the Company made a significant investment in additional inventory. The Company adjusts its inventory levels based upon the industry outlook and near term expectations of demand for the Company’s products.

We had net cash used in investing activities of $(10,177) for the the nine months ended August 31, 2010, as compared to net cash used in investing activities of $(149,176) for the nine months ended August 31, 2009. This decrease was the result of the Company purchasing additional computer hardware in 2009.

We had net cash used in financing activities of (767,772) for the nine months ended August 31, 2010, as compared to net cash from financing activities of $140,417 for the nine months ended August 31, 2009. The decrease was the result of the decrease in borrowings in 2010 from our lender.

As a result of the foregoing, the Company had a net decrease in cash of $277,590 during the nine months ended August 31, 2010, as compared to a net increase in cash of $167,378 for the nine months ended August 31, 2009.

Long-term debt, operating leases and other long-term obligations as of August 31, 2010 mature as follows:

Inflation

In the past two fiscal years, inflation has not had a significant impact on our business. However, any significant increase in inflation and interest rates could have a significant effect on the economy in general and, thereby, could affect our future operating results. In addition, the interest on the Company's line of credit is based upon the prime rate. Any significant increase in the prime rate could significantly impact our future operating results.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements.
