IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Probe Manufacturing, Inc. (“PMI”), (OTC QB : PMFI), a global electronics design & manufacturing services company reports 57% revenue growth for its fourth quarter 2011 and 62% revenue growth for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to the fiscal year 2010.

“PMI experienced a positive increase in virtually all of its financial metrics, which gives the Company a balanced financial foothold as it continues to experience rapid growth.”

• Launch of Manufacturing Foundry Platform for innovative start-ups and technology driven companies;
• Further diversified client base across the medical, industrial, aerospace/defense, semi-conductor and alternative fuel/green technology industries; and
• Expanded our services along the supply chain line to support organic growth by cross selling and identifying new opportunities with prospective customers.

Summary Financial Statements:

Net profit increased approximately 73% in 2011, excluding the one-time gain from debt settlement that occurred in 2010. Revenue was $4,549,798 for the year ended 2011 compared to $2,799,935 for the same period in 2010, due to increased orders within existing accounts and the addition of 8 new customers in 2011. Our cost of goods sold was 69% in 2011 compared to 72% for the same period in 2010, mainly due to the decrease in direct labor as a percent of sales. The Company’s gross margin was 31% compared to 28% for the same period in 2010. Stockholder’s equity increased by $154,871, resulting in shareholder surplus of $338,046 as of December 31, 2011. In addition, we had a working capital surplus of $170,245, compared to working capital surplus of $44,385 as of December 31, 2010, an increase of $125,860.

Our Chief Financial Officer, John Bennett, stated “PMI’s organic growth and expansion of its customer base in 2011 continues to fuel the Company’s impressive financial growth.

Mr. Bennett also commented “PMI experienced a positive increase in virtually all of its financial metrics, which gives the Company a balanced financial foothold as it continues to experience rapid growth.”

“As demonstrated by our strong financial results and continued profitability in 2011, PMI’s ability to provide a U.S. based manufacturing solution with a competitive cost structure for our customers continues to drive our growth and sustain our profitable business model. Furthermore, the financial results reflect the breadth of our end-to-end services in creating meaningful organic growth and validate our strategy of building a scalable domestic operation with global resources to support the growing demand of our current and prospective customer base,” said Kam Madhi, CEO of PMI.

“PMI is among a select few companies in both its industry and the over-the-counter trading market, that continues to experience above-industry gross margins and profitable operations, which we believe will ultimately translate to intrinsic shareholder value for our stockholders,” stated Mr. Mahdi.
