Global Innovation Corp. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
January 31, 2008
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Global Innovation Corp. and its subsidiaries (the "Company" or "GIC"), pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring entries, which, in the opinion of the Company, are necessary to present fairly the results for the interim periods. Results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending July 31, 2008.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2007, filed on October 29, 2007.
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made in prior period financial statements to conform to current period presentation.
Inventory
Inventory consists of finished goods, work in process and raw materials and is priced at lower of cost or market (determined product by product based on management's knowledge of current market conditions and existing sales levels). Cost of raw materials is determined on a weighted average basis; cost of work in process and finished goods is determined using specific identification. A valuation allowance is established and adjusted periodically to provide for estimated obsolescence based upon the aging of inventory and market trends. At January 31, 2008, inventory consisted of $1,610,004 in raw materials, $888,555 in work in process, and $1,884,726 in finished goods.
During the six months ended January 31, 2008, the Company changed its methodology of determining the valuation allowance for certain inventory overage items. Overage items are finished goods manufactured that are in excess of specific order quantities due to manufacturing process parameters and which are available and used for the fulfillment of future sales. The change in the estimate resulted in an increase to inventory at January 31, 2008 in the amount of approximately $160,000, and a decrease to cost of sales in the same amount for the six months ended January 31, 2008.
Revenue Recognition
The Company generates revenue from custom built printed circuit boards, made to order using engineering and designs provided by the customer. All orders are manufactured to specific industry standards. The Company recognizes revenues when persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement exists, the sales terms are fixed and determinable, title and risk of loss have transferred, and collectibility is reasonably assured, generally when products are shipped to the customer.
The Company does not give rebates to any of its customers. The Company does not have customer acceptance provisions; the Company does, however, provide customers a limited right of return for defective products. Because all orders are manufactured to specific industry standards and are electrically tested to insure compliance with such standards prior to shipment, returns have historically been minimal and the amount of returns has been immaterial.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company uses derivatives only to hedge against changes in interest rates related to debt, as opposed to their use for trading purposes. SFAS No.133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, requires that derivatives be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. The fair value of swap contracts is determined based on the difference between the derivative's fixed contract price and the underlying market price at the determination date and is confirmed by counterparts to the derivative.
Realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivatives that are not designated as hedges, as well as on the ineffective portion of hedge derivatives, are recorded as a derivative fair value gain or loss in the income statement. Unrealized gains and losses on effective cash flow hedge derivatives, as well as any deferred gain or loss realized upon early termination of effective hedge derivatives, are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). When the hedged transaction occurs, the realized gain or loss, as well as any deferred gain or loss, on the hedge derivative is transferred from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to earnings. Realized gains and losses on interest rate hedge derivatives are recognized as a component of interest expense and settlements of derivatives are included in cash flows from operating activities.
To designate a derivative as a cash flow hedge, at the hedge's inception management documents its assessment that the derivative will be highly effective in offsetting expected changes in cash flows from the item hedged. This assessment is generally based on the most recent relevant historical correlation between the derivative and the item hedged. The ineffective portion of the hedge is calculated as the difference between the change in fair value of the derivative and the estimated change in cash flows from the item hedged. If, during the derivative's term, management determines the hedge is no longer highly effective, hedge accounting is prospectively discontinued and any remaining unrealized gains or losses on the effective portion of the derivative are reclassified to earnings when the underlying transaction occurs. If it is determined that the designated hedge transaction is not likely to occur, any unrealized gains or losses are recognized immediately in the income statement as a derivative fair value gain or loss.
Stock Based Employee Compensation
As of August 1, 2006 the Company adopted SFAS 123(R), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all equity awards made to employees and directors, including employee stock options, restricted stock and employee stock purchases related to all stock-based compensation plans based on estimated fair values.
During the three months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007 no grants or stock-based compensation were awarded.
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and the conversion of the Company's convertible preferred stock and notes payable.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income per share:
| For the Three Months Ended January 31,

| | | | | | | | |
Common shares issuable upon conversion of convertible notes payable to related parties were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for all periods presented because the effect of the conversion is antidilutive. Warrants to purchase a total of 21,267 shares of common stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because the exercise prices were greater than the average market prices and the effect would be antidilutive.
NOTE 3 - CONCENTRATIONS OF RISK
At January 31, 2008, two customers accounted for approximately 40% of the total accounts receivable. For both the three and six months ended January 31, 2008 these customers accounted for approximately 36% of net sales. For the three and six months ended January 31, 2007, these customers accounted for approximately 59% and 62%, respectively, of net sales.
NOTE 4 - INCOME TAXES
The income tax provision for the six months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007 consists of the following:
| | For the three months ended January 31 | | For the six months ended January 31 |
| | 2008

| | | | | |
In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the existence of, or generation of, taxable income in the periods in which those temporary differences are deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. For the period ending January 31, 2008, management has determined that there has been sufficient and consistent evidence that the company will be able to realize the benefit of the NOL carry forward for the next five fiscal years. As a result of this assessment, management has recorded a decrease in the valuation allowance of $802,332. The decrease to the valuation allowance was recorded as an adjustment to goodwill as the allowance was originally recor ded in connection with a business combination. Based upon historical taxable income and projections of future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management does not believe that further valuation allowances are necessary as of January 31, 2008.
At January 31, 2008, the Company had tax net operating loss carry forwards ("NOLs") of approximately $7.5 million that begin to expire in 2018. The utilization of these NOLs is limited due to a change in ownership of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company in November 2004. During the six months ended January 31, 2008, the Company utilized NOLs totaling $235,980, resulting in a decrease in the valuation allowance in the amount of $80,233. The decrease to the valuation allowance was recorded as an adjustment to goodwill as the allowance was originally recorded in connection with a business combination.
NOTE 5 - LINE OF CREDIT
The Company has a $3 million line of credit agreement ("LOC") with Amegy bank, which is due on demand, bears interest at LIBOR + 1.5% and matures August 13, 2008. The LOC is subject to certain financial and other covenants and is collateralized by all of the Company's accounts receivable and inventory.
At January 31, 2008, there was no outstanding balance under the LOC and the Company was in compliance with all its covenants.

Interest Rate Swap
In connection with the real estate loan, on August 23, 2006, the Company entered into an interest rate swap transaction with Amegy Bank. The notational amount of the swap is $5.5 million subject to amortization and the term runs concurrent with the real estate note maturing in seven years. The fixed rate applicable to this transaction is 7.25%. The Company recorded the fair value of the arrangement as an interest rate risk management liability in the amount of $463,245 at January 31, 2008. This amount, net of a tax benefit in the amount of $157,503, has been recorded as other comprehensive income.
NOTE 7 - NOTES PAYABLE TO RELATED PARTY
On November 24, 2004, the Company issued convertible promissory notes in the principal amounts of $1 million and $3.2 million (collectively, the "Notes") to Brad Jacoby in conjunction with a business combination. The Notes bore interest at 8% and were convertible into common stock at any time at a conversion price of $3.75 per share. Interest on the $1 million note was payable semi-annually, and the principal balance was due November 30, 2007. Interest on the $3.2 million notes was payable monthly, and the principal was originally due February 28, 2005, and later extended to July 31, 2005. The Notes were secured by all assets of the Company and LSC (a wholly owned subsidiary), and by the outstanding stock of LSC and by the Company common stock owned by D. Ronald Allen ("Allen"), former chief executive officer, controlling shareholder and director of the Company. On October 28, 2005, both the Notes were refinanced and combined into a single note (the "New Not e"), bearing interest at 8% payable semi-annually, with the principal due September 30, 2008. The New Note is convertible under the same terms and secured by the same assets as the Notes.
NOTE 8 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company leases its assembly facility and part of a facility used for equipment storage from an entity majority owned by Mr. Jacoby and his wife. For the quarters ended January 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company incurred lease expense totaling $36,000 in each period, related to these operating leases. The Company previously leased its primary manufacturing facility from an entity controlled by Mr. Jacoby and subsequently purchased that facility. The term of the lease for the assembly facility is ten years. The storage facility was leased in 2006 and is month to month.
The Company contracts the machining of parts from Chogie Manufacturing, an entity owned by the spouses of our CEO and COO. The Company incurred expense of $137,340 and $212,046 for the quarters ended January 31, 2008 and 2007 respectively, for these services.
The Company incurred interest expense on the $4,200,000 related party note in the amount of $86,467 and $85,867 for the quarters ended January 31, 2008 and 2007 respectively.

Litigation
We are a party to the various legal proceedings noted below. While we currently believe that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or overall trends in results of operations, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties.

Overview
Global Innovation Corp. (the "Company" or "GIC") is a Delaware corporation, doing business through its subsidiary Best Circuit Boards, Inc. On November 9, 2006 we reincorporated in Delaware by merging into GIC with GIC continuing as the surviving corporation.
The Company was a New York corporation originally incorporated on November 29, 1990 under the name "ESPO's, Inc." On April 4, 2001 we changed our name to Integrated Performance Systems, Inc. ("IPS").
On November 24, 2004 a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company merged with Best Circuit Boards, Inc., d/b/a Lone Star Circuits ("Lone Star Circuits" or "LSC"), and LSC became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Brad Jacoby ("Jacoby"), the beneficial owner of LSC, acquired a controlling interest in the Company. The transaction was accounted for as a reverse merger (the transaction being referred to in this quarterly report as the "Merger"). This means the Merger has been treated as if LSC acquired the Company and, consequently, the historical financial statements of LSC became the historical financial statements of the Company for all periods presented.
The following discussion provides information to assist in the understanding of our financial condition and results of operations for the three and six months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007. It should be read in conjunction with the financial information for the year ended July 31, 2007, appearing in the Company's annual Form 10-K filed on October 29, 2007.
Results of Operations
Revenues.Net sales increased to $8,296,007 for the three months ended January 31, 2008 from $8,090,218 for the same period in 2007, a net increase of $205,789 or 2.5%. Net sales decreased to $16,735,779 for the six months ended January 31, 2008 from $17,512,914 for the same period in 2007, a net decrease of $777,135 or 4.4%. The increase for the three months ended January 31, 2008 is a result of approximately $700,000 in new business and programs to several existing customers offset by a reduction of $500,000 to what has been historically our largest customer. The decrease from our largest customer started in the first quarter and is in addition to the $1.5 million decrease in the previous period. This decrease has moved this customer to our second largest and we are continuing to replace that revenue with new customers and new business to other customers. The 4.4% decrease for the six months is a result of approximately $2,000,000 decrease in sales to our largest customer resulting from softer demand and the transition of some of their product overseas, offset by approximately $1,200,000 in technology business that generates higher revenue and margins.
Gross Profit. Gross profit for the three months ended January 31, 2008 was $1,932,569 compared to $1,374,063 for the same period in 2007, an increase of $558,506 or 40.6%. Gross profit for the six months ended January 31, 2008 was $3,722,414, versus a gross profit of $3,120,715 in the previous period. Gross margin increased from 18% for the six months ended January 31, 2007 to 22% for the same period in the current year. Gross margin for the three months ended January 31, 2008 increased from 17% to 23%. We are realizing the cost savings from the initiatives we have implemented over the last four quarters. We are continually pursuing operational efficiencies and identifying improved process parameters that allow us to build product more economically while improving performance. Additionally, we are focusing our efforts and resources on products that generate higher margins and selective, low margin products are being identified for transition to a low cost region generating im proved margins.
Selling, general and administrative expenses.Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses consist primarily of direct charges for sales, promotion and marketing, as well as the cost of executive, administrative and accounting personnel, and related expenses and professional fees. SG&A expense increased to $1,055,900 for the three months ended January 31, 2008 from $1,043,434 for the same period in 2007, an increase of $12,466 or 1.2%. SG&A expenses decreased to $2,251,051 for the six months ended January 31, 2008 from $2,333,787 for the same period in 2007, a net decrease of $82,736 or 3.2%. The decrease for the six months ended January 31, 2008 reflects the timing of normal business activities such as the annual audit and shows our continued commitment to control and manage costs.
Amortization of Customer Base.The customer base was recorded as a result of the Merger with Best Circuit Boards, Inc. on November 24, 2004 and amortization was $135,512 during the three months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively and $271,024 during the six months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Other Income (Expense), Net. Other income (expense), net, includes interest expense on notes payable and notes payable to related parties. Other income (expense), net, increased from ($216,150) to ($243,670) for the three months ended January 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively. This increase is primarily due to an increase of $28,465 in interest expense on the new Amegy note. Other income (expense) increased from ($401,240) to ($480,285) for the six months ended January 31, 2007 and 2008 respectively. The increase in net expense during the six months ended January 31, 2008 is primarily due to approximately $76,000 in interest expense on the new Amegy notes.
Income Tax Provision.The income tax provision increased to $301,602 for the six months ended January 31, 2008, from $31,439 for the same period in the prior year. The increase in the provision is due primarily to the increase in pre-tax income.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have generally financed our business from cash generated by operations and borrowings, and in prior periods, our majority shareholder has loaned the Company operating capital at prevailing market rates of interest or has guaranteed our indebtedness. Our principal uses of cash have been to fund working capital, meet debt service requirements, and fund capital expenditures. We expect that these uses will continue to be the principal demands on our cash in the future.
For the period ended January 31, 2008, we have current liabilities in excess of current assets. The related party debt of $4,200,000 became current during the period ended October 31, 2007. It is management's intent to negotiate an extension of the maturity date with the related party prior to September 2008. Based on our current level of operations and the renegotiation of the related party debt, we believe that cash provided by operations along with funds available under our line of credit (see "Indebtedness and guarantees" below) will be sufficient to fund our working capital needs, finance capital expenditures and service our debt for the next twelve months and beyond. Capital expenditures planned for the next twelve months consist of normal equipment purchases necessary to maintain current operating capacity and technological competence, and replace equipment that may have reached the end of its useful life. During the current fiscal quarter, our capital expenditures included man ufacturing equipment that will allow us to improve the throughput and increase the level of technology required to keep up with the complex products our customers design. We have historically also been able to obtain financing for equipment acquisitions under operating leases with provisions for installment purchases at the end of the lease terms. We anticipate that we will continue to be able to obtain this type of financing for future equipment needs.
Cash flows from operations.Net cash of $731,835 provided by operations during the six months ended January 31, 2008 consisted of $1,069,730 provided by net income as adjusted for non-cash items, offset by $337,895 used by working capital. This compares to net cash used by operations of $164,633 during the same period in the prior year, which consisted of $746,671 provided by net income as adjusted for non-cash items offset by $911,304 used by working capital.
Cash used for investing activities.Net cash of $1,838,829 used in investing activities during the six months ended January 31, 2008 consisted of purchases of equipment. Net cash of $6,342,772 used for investing activities during the same period in the prior year consisted of purchases of a building and equipment.
Cash flows from financing activities.Net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended January 31, 2008 was $327,693 and consisted of borrowings on notes payable of $899,955 offset by payments of $572,262 on notes payable. Net cash provided by financing activities during the same period in the prior year was $5,163,130 and included $7,596,204 of new borrowing offset by net payments of $2,262,274 on long-term debt and interest paid to related party of $170,800.
Indebtedness and guarantees.We have a $3 million line of credit (the "LOC") described in Note 5 of our financial statements set forth in Part I, Item 1 above.
We issued $4.2 million in convertible promissory notes to Brad Jacoby in conjunction with the Merger in November 2004. These notes were refinanced on October 28, 2005, and now bear 8% interest payable semiannually, with the principal due September 30, 2008.
On August 18, 2007, the Company entered into a credit facility with Amegy Bank of Texas, headquartered in Houston, Texas, for a $2 million five-year term loan, coupled with a $3 million line of credit (LOC) and a $5.5 million real estate loan. The real estate loan allowed the Company to purchase its manufacturing facility and accompanying property for $6.3 million. The operating facility was being leased from a related party (see also Note 8). The note terms are 1 year, 5 years and 7 years for the LOC, equipment and real estate loans, respectively. The loans bear interest at LIBOR+1.5-1.75% and are collateralize by various Company assets.
On August 14, 2007, the Company entered into an additional equipment note with Amegy Bank for $2,311,455. The note term is 5 years and 2 months, bears interest at 7.75% and is collateralized by substantially all Company assets.
We expect that cash generated from operations will be sufficient to fund payments on our indebtedness as it becomes due, or that we will be able to refinance the debt under similar terms.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined inRule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report.
