NONE REVIEW BY AUDITORS
Seligson & Giannattasio, LLP auditor for the Company, (the “Auditor”) did not review the 10Q for the Quarter ended September 30, 2006
The audit report of Seligson & Giannattasio, LLP for the years ended December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2005 contained a modification expressing substantial doubt about Michelex, Corp’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The board of directors or an audit or similar committee of the board of directors acknowledged the inability as a matter of time for the auditors to review the financial statements.
During the fiscal years ended Dec 31, 2004 and Dec 31, 2005 and the subsequent period from March 31, 2006, June 30, 2006 nor September 30, 2006 there were no disagreements with the accountant, whether or not resolved, on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the former accountant's satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in connection the periods 2004 and 2005 and any subsequent period preceding.
The Company did not consult with Seligson & Giannattasio, LLP during its fiscal years ending Dec 31, 2004 and Dec 31, 2005 on the application of accounting principles to as specified transaction, the type of opinion that may be rendered on the Company's financial statements, any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue, or any item that was either the subject of a disagreement or a reportable event as defined in item 304 of Regulation S- K.
The Company has provided Seligson & Giannattasio, LLP with a copy of the disclosures contained in this filing. The 10-QSB filing will be restated once the auditors review it if they determine it to be necessary.
The Company has retained Seligson & Giannattasio, LLP to perform our 2006 audit and statements and to review the quarterly filings.

NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements of Michelex Corporation ("Michelex") contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position as of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the results of operations and cash flows for the periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005.
The results of operations for the three months and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Except as stated below, the accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 1 to the Company's financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.
NOTE 2 - COMMITMENTS
During the 2003 fiscal year, Michele Audio Corporation of America (the “Company”) entered into a Consulting Agreement with Investor Relations Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation whose address is 120 Flagler Avenue, New Smyrna Beach, Florida and simultaneously a Personal Services Agreement with Mr. Charles Arnold located at 2 Spur Lane, Rolling Hills, California. The agreements were effective June 1, 2003 and they both expire on May 31, 2004. The agreements called for certain services, which are enumerated in the agreements, to be provided by Mr. Arnold and Investor Relations Services for the benefit of the Company. As compensation for these services the Company agreed to issue both Investor Relations Services and Mr. Arnold preferred shares of stock in Michele Audio Corporation of America. Additionally, the preferred shares were to have conversion rights allowing Mr. Arnold and Investor Relations Services, Inc. each to convert their preferred shares to 4.9% undiluted of the common stock issued and outstanding following the first round of financing after the Company became a public entity. It was further agreed the stock when issued would be restricted pursuant to Rule 144.
In March of 2004 Mr. Arnold and Investor Relations Services filed for arbitration, as called for in the agreements, against Michelex Corporation claiming they have not been compensated as called for in the agreements. In November 2005, the Company received notice of the settlement of the arbitration.

At December 31, 2005, there is an accrued expense for this settlement payment.
Commitment to Acquire Equipment

As of December 31, 2004, the Company was attempting to secure the financing necessary to complete the acquisition. In May 2005, the agreement to purchase the equipment was terminated as a result of the Company’s inability to obtain the required financing. The Company reported a loss at that time of the total amount of the deposit.
Subpoena From Securities and Exchanges Commission

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation.
Some of the information in this report contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. You can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as "may," "will," "expect," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate" and "continue," or similar words. You should read statements that contain these words carefully because they:
· | discuss our future expectations; |
· | contain projections of our future results of operations or of our financial condition; and |
· | state other "forward-looking" information. |
We believe it is important to communicate our expectations. However, there may be events in the future that we are not able to accurately predict or over which we have no control. Our actual results and the timing of certain events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

We have also refinanced a number of its equipment and properties in what it believes will be beneficial to its future cash flow. In addition, a number of the debenture issuances have been converted into common stock.
In July 2006, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with several investors whereby the Company would issue an aggregate of $1,200,000 in 6% convertible secured notes and options to purchase up to 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The notes are due on July 28, 2009 and may be converted into common stock at any time prior to maturity at the option of the holder. The loan may be converted at a conversion price which is the lesser of $.20 or a discounted average trading price of the shares (the discount being dependent on the meeting of certain registration conditions). The holder is limited in the conversions prior to maturity date to the greater of $60,000 per calendar month or the average daily dollar volume calculated during the ten business days prior to conversion. In addition, the agreement puts limitations on certain types of transactions. In July 2006, the Company closed on the first portion of the notes aggregating $400,000.
In June 2006, the Company entered into a $40,000 secured promissory note with Ayuda Funding Corp. The note incurs interest at the rate of 10% per annum and is due on June 16, 2007. The note can be converted at any time at the option of the holder, into common shares of the Company at the lesser of $.01 per share or 80% of the average closing bid price for the ten days preceding the conversion date.
In June 2006, the Company obtained additional mortgage financing totaling $500,000 from a separate lender. Borrowings under the mortgage which is due June 30, 2007 incur interest at the rate of 10% per annum. The Company is required to make payments under the mortgage of $4,167 per month.
In 2006, Michele Audio and Wells Fargo entered into an agreement to settle the debt owed to Wells Fargo. In April 2005, Michele Audio and Wells Fargo entered into a letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) whereby the balances due under the line of credit were accelerated causing Michele Audio to seek alternative financing to repay the borrowings. Pursuant to the agreement, Michele Audio agreed to make payments of $1,025,000 in June 2006 (the “June Payment”), $1,150,000 in August 2006 (the “August Payment”) and $250,000 in December 2006 and interest only payments at the prime rate on the remaining unpaid balance until the final payment is made in December 2006. The June Payment and August Payment including the interest only payments have been made.
In May 2006, the Company entered into a sale leaseback agreement with an unrelated third party. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company sold certain of its assets for $1,200,000. As a condition of the agreement, the Company agreed to lease the assets pursuant to a five year lease at a rental of $19,583 per month plus an additional rent factor equal to the 6.5% over the prime rate of the unpaid remaining rental. The Company has the additional option to purchase the assets anytime after the first twelve months for an amount equal to the remaining unpaid lease payments plus $117,500.

The loan, which has an original due date of April 2007, incurs interest at the greater of 13% per annum or the prime rate plus 6% per annum. If all payments are made timely, the due date on the loan may be extended for an additional twelve months. The mortgage is guaranteed by an officer of the Company. In addition, as an additional incentive to loan the funds, the Company granted a warrant to the mortgage holder to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $.02 per share. The warrant is exercisable anytime after April 24, 2006 for a period of one (1) year.
Our revenues decreased from $14.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 to $5.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. Management believes that this decrease was the result of Wells Fargo canceling our Line of Credit and demanding full payment of the term loan, totaling approximately $3,900,000.
In June 2005, Michele Audio entered into an agreement with Pittsford to amend its existing promissory notes and convert the loan into a term loan. The amended note will incur interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum and is payable in monthly installments including interest of $7,720 through July 1, 2008. The note may be prepaid at any time and if prepaid prior to July 1, 2006, Pittsford agrees to forgive $25,000 of the principle amount outstanding. The loan is secured by certain of Michele Audio’s properties as well as certain of the properties of MPG Development LLC (“MPG”) located in Massena, New York. The note is guaranteed by MPG in addition to certain officers of Michele Audio. As of December 31, 2005, Michele Audio owes $794,644 to Pittsford.
In May 2005, the Company entered into a one (1) year account receivable purchase agreement with Commercial Capital Lending, LLC (“CCL”). Pursuant to the agreement, CCL agrees to purchase up to 80% of the eligible accounts receivable from the Company. The Company may be required to repurchase accounts sold to CCL under certain conditions. The Company is required to pay interest at the rate of prime plus one percent on 80% of the face amount of the accounts purchased. In addition, the Company is required to pay a servicing fee totaling .6% (six tenths of one percent) of the net face amount of the open receivables for each 15 days the account is open. The agreement, among other provisions, is secured by all personal property excluding inventory and equipment.
In May 2005, the Company entered into a secured convertible debenture for $150,000 with the brother of one of the officer/directors. The debenture incurs interest at the rate of 8% per annum and is payable in monthly installments including interest totaling $3,041 through June 2010. The mortgage is secured by one of the Company’s properties as well as the home of the officer/director. The Company has not made the required payments under the mortgage. The Company has recorded a beneficial conversion feature totaling $50,000, which were recorded as a discount on the debentures and are being amortized over the term of the related debenture as additional interest expense. In June 2006, the note and accrued interest were converted into 8,100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. At that time, the remaining beneficial conversion feature will be expensed.
In May 2005, the Company entered into a lease for equipment under capital lease arrangements with Franklin Funding, Inc. Pursuant to the lease, among other provisions, the lessor retains actual title to the leased property until the termination of the lease, at which time the property can be purchased for one dollar. The lease dated May 17, 2005 is for certain equipment located in the Salt Lake City facilities. The term of the lease is forty months with monthly payments of $7,755 which is equal to the cost to amortize $250,000 over the lease term at an interest rate of approximately 17% per annum. The Company had obtained the lease and related underlying equipment through an assumption agreement with one of the Company’s vendors. The vendor declared bankruptcy in 2006. Pursuant to a settlement agreement in June 2006 with Franklin Funding, The Company gave up possession of the equipment and cancelled the lease with Franklin Funding.
In April and May 2005, the Company transferred certain equipment in exchange for the repayment of the existing debt on the equipment to a corporation controlled by the brother of one of the Company’s officers. The Company subsequently leased back the equipment. Pursuant to the two separate two-year lease agreements, the Company is required to make monthly payments totaling $3,000 and $2,000 per month, respectively. The Company has not made any of the required lease payments pursuant to the agreement.
In April, 2005 Wells Fargo cancelled our line of credit and demanded full payment of the term loan totaling $3,900,000. Management believes that this was the result of a dispute between the Company and Wells Fargo regarding a financing deal between the Company and Argilus Capital LLC that was not completed.
The Line of Credit with Wells Fargo was an ongoing relationship that was renewed in March, 2005 (See Note 4). At that time, the Company incurred a charges of approximately $37,000 for the renewal and there was no indication of any problems. As such, the cancellation of the credit line and demand for payment was completely unexpected by management.
The Company’s arrangement with Wells Fargo was an asset based lending arrangement and as of the cancellation date in April, 2005, Wells Fargo proceeded to retain all of the Company’s cash as it came it. This prevented the Company from operating and essentially put the Company in a “shut down mode” with the majority of the work force being laid off and the Company operating at a very limited capacity. This had a large impact on the Company’s customer base.
In order to keep the Company solvent, management obtained capital through the sale of assets and property. This resulted in a significant decline in our fixed assets balance from December 31, 2004 to December 31, 2005. In addition, loans were obtained from officers and related parties.
In January 2005, Michele Audio entered into a revolving line of credit agreement with Ringsport, Ltd., a British Virgin Islands corporation. Pursuant to the agreement, Michele Audio may borrow up to one million dollars ($1,000,000) for a term of one (1) year. The line bears interest at the rate of prime plus one percent. The line is collateralized by the cash, marketable securities and investments of Michele Audio. In 2005, Michele Audio borrowed $50,000 under the line.
Our efforts in 2004 and 2005 were spent on a number of financing deals that ultimately did not come to fruition. Management did not obtain financing until April, 2006 causing revenues to suffer in 2005.
In November 2004, we signed a Standby Equity Distribution Agreement with Cornell Capital Partners, LP (“Cornell”) whereby Cornell agreed to purchase, during the next two (2) years, up to $10,000,000 of our common stock. We have not borrowed any funds under the agreement.
In October 2004, we entered into a Collateral Share Agreement (the “Collateral Share Agreement”) with Ginette and Thomas Gramuglia the President and Vice President of the Company at that time. The Collateral Share Agreement called for the Company to issue to Thomas Gramuglia and Ginette Gramuglia 3,000,000 shares each of the Company’s common stock as consideration for their continuing personal guarantees of certain of the Company’s loan obligations. Ownership of the collateral shares remain with the Company unless an event of default occurs under the guaranteed loans set forth in the Collateral Share Agreement, however Tom and Ginette Gramuglia have voting rights for the shares during the term of the Collateral Share Agreement. Additionally, the Collateral Share Agreement stipulates that either Thomas or Ginette Gramuglia have the option to purchase the collateral shares at either $.24 (twenty-four cents) per share or the average closing bid price for the shares for any five (5) day trading period during the term of the Collateral Share Agreement. The Collateral Share Agreement further indicates that the Company may from time to time transfer ownership of the collateral shares to Thomas Gramuglia pursuant to his employment agreement and applicable securities laws. The term of the Collateral Share Agreement is the shorter of 10 years or the term of the loan guarantees.
In September 2003, Michele Audio entered into a short-term note agreement with Pittsford Capital Mortgage Partners, LLC (“Pittsford”) for $775,000. The note, which was due September 17, 2004, unless repaid sooner, bears interest at the rate of sixteen percent (16%) per annum. Interest only payments are due monthly.
In March 2002, Michele Audio entered into a $7,000,000 revolving note agreement (the “Note Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Business Credit, Inc. (“Wells Fargo”) for working capital and issuance of letters of credit. Interest was payable monthly at Well’s Fargo’s then base rate plus 3%. The note was payable on demand. At December 31, 2004 total borrowings under the Note Agreement totaled $1,666,319 placing Michele Audio in default. In April 2004, the Note Agreement was amended to change certain of the provisions including the formula used to calculate the funds available for borrowing and settlement of certain default charges.
Competition .
Two (2) of our competitors in the plastics and packaging industry went out of out of business. We believe that this will give us an opportunity to regain the market share that was lost in 2005 and 2006.
Significant Income or Loss .
In 2005, there was no significant income or loss arising from our continuing operations. In 2006, we incurred charges related to options offered in exchange for outstanding loans due. These are one time charges.
Issuance of Unregistered Stock
In July 2006, the Company agreed to issue 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to its attorneys for legal services. On the date of issuance, the Company will reflect as expenses for legal fees, approximately $5,000 (the market value of the shares on the date of the issuance).

The options may be exercised after April 15, 2006 and expire after April 15, 2011. The Company valued the warrants at $494,119 using the Black-Scholes option pricing method.

In March 2006, the Company issued 477,500 shares of common stock to employees.
