NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
June 30, 2007
NOTE A BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and Item 310(b) of Regulation S-B. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. For further information, refer to the financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2006, and for the two years then ended, including notes thereto included in the Companys Form 10-KSB.
NOTE B INVENTORY
Inventories, consisting of purchased finished goods ready for sale, are stated at the lower of cost (as determined by the first-in, first-out method) or market.
NOTE C - REALIZATION OF ASSETS
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was ($287,009). The Company has incurred net losses aggregating $11,774,155 from inception, and may continue to incur net losses in the future. In addition, the Company had a working capital deficiency of ($337,350) as of June 30, 2007. If revenues do not increase substantially in the near future, additional sources of funds will be needed to maintain operations. These matters give rise to substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.
Management and other personnel have been focused on product exposure and marketing. The Companys management team has diligently explored several market segments relative to the Companys product and service lines over the past 24 months. From that exploration, the Company has decided it is in its best interests to market other products that are related to the DriverMax® product line. In that respect, the Company has become an authorized reseller for Network Car, Inc. to market its Networkfleet product which is a vehicle tracking and diagnostic reporting product that focuses on productivity and fuel efficiency. Management also believes a large market exists for the Companys testing and evaluation services and the information resulting from those services. By concentrating the sales efforts within its own reasonable geographical area, management believes it can better provide a professional, consultative approach toward customers needs and prove the value of its products and services. Management will focus on the Companys efforts on the sales of products, services, and programs with sensible controls over expenses. Management believes these steps, if successful, will improve the Companys liquidity and operating results, allowing it to continue in existence.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

NOTE G MAJOR CUSTOMERS
In the first six months of 2007, four major customers accounted for 82% of total sales. At June 30, 2007, these customers account for 68% of accounts receivable.
NOTE H EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
The Company calculates net income (loss) per share as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 128, "Earnings per Share." Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding. During periods in which the Company incurs losses, common stock equivalents, if any, are not considered, as their effect would be anti dilutive.
NOTE I REDEEMABLE, CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
In December 2006, Mirenco offered a minimum $3,000 investment for 25,000 shares of its common stock at $0.12 per share, plus 500 shares of convertible, redeemable preferred stock valued by the Company at $1 per share. In connection with this offering, 23,256 shares of the convertible, redeemable preferred stock were issued, of which 5,000 were converted to 25,000 shares of common stock during the period ended June 30, 2007. Each preferred share is convertible at the holders option, to fives shares of the Companys common stock, and carries a cumulative 6% dividend rate through December 31, 2011. The preferred shares may be redeemed by the Company any time after December 31, 2009, and must be fully redeemed on December 31, 2011, together with all cumulative dividends in arrears. Accordingly, the preferred shares are presented as shares subject to mandatory redemption in the accompanying financial statements.
NOTE J SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
During July and August, 2007, 725,000 shares of common stock were issued for cash of $58,000.

Item 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
General and Background
We have incurred annual losses since inception while developing and introducing our original products and focusing management and other resources on capitalizing the Company to support future growth. Relatively high management, personnel, consulting and marketing expenditures were incurred in prior years in preparation for the commercialization of our products. We expect distribution and selling expenses to increase directly with sales increases, however, as a percentage of sales, these expenses should decline. It is anticipated that general and administrative expenses should remain stable and decline significantly as a percentage of sales.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and equivalents and accounts receivable are currently the Companys substantial source of liquidity. The changes in Cash and Equivalents for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 can be reviewed in the Statements of Cash Flows in PART I Item 1 above.
According to the terms of our purchase agreement with American Technologies to acquire the patents and trademarks, we have incurred a 3% royalty of annual gross sales for a period of 20 years, which began November 1, 1999.
Results of Operations
Gross sales of $309,080, including $79,160 in product sales and $229,920 in sales of services, were realized for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and were $1,187 more than sales for the same period one year ago. Cost of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $198,877 resulting in a net increase of $14,714 in gross profit margin as a result of increased sales over the same period in the prior year. In the six months ended June 2007, $170,990 of employment costs were included in Cost of Sales compared to $172,313 in the corresponding period in the prior year. Salary expense for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $226,396 compared to $269,764 in the corresponding period in the prior year. After accounting for the employment costs included in cost of sales, salaries decreased $45,644.
A total of 15 full-time individuals, were employed with the Company at both June 2007 and 2006.

1.
Royalty expense is proportional to sales and is based on sales of products, services and rights related to patents according to the contractual agreement.
2.
Advertising expense for the six months ended June 30, 2007 decreased $4,074 over the same period in the prior year because of decreased recruiting activities.
3.
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $3,324 from the corresponding period in the prior year because of computer and other equipment becoming fully depreciated in the prior period.
4.
Insurance expense for the six months ended June 30, 2007 decreased $4,756 from the corresponding period in the prior year because of a thorough examination of current coverage and obtaining a more competitive bid.
5.
Professional fees expense increased $30,683 because of increased expenses related to patents and consulting fees.
6.
Office expense for the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased $5,989 from the corresponding period in the prior year.
7.
Travel expense for the first six months of 2007 decreased $10,091 due to decreased travel to mining customers.
9.
Utilities expense for the first six months of 2007 decreased $6,117 from the first six months of 2006 due to reduced telephone expenses.
Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 is a result of obtaining investor loans and bank loans in 2005 and 2004.
The Company uses estimates in the preparation of its financial statements. The estimates used relate to valuation of receivables and the useful lives of its equipment and patents. Since the Companys receivables consist of larger individual accounts, the Company elects to use the direct write off method for those accounts that are deemed to be uncollectible. The Company believes there is no material difference in this method from the allowance method. There have been no accounts written off in 2007. If it is determined that potential losses of a material amount in receivables, the allowance for doubtful accounts method will be adopted. No such allowance is considered to be required at this time. If it were determined that the depreciated cost of its equipment and the amortized cost of its patents exceeded their fair market value, there would be a negative impact on the results of operations to the extent the depreciated and amortized cost of these assets exceeded their fair market value.
The carrying value of long-lived assets is reviewed on a regular basis for the existence of facts and circumstances that suggest impairment. During the first six months of 2007, no material impairment has been indicated. Should there be an impairment in the future, the Company will measure the amount of the impairment based on the amount that the carrying value of the impaired assets exceed the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposal of the impaired assets.
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to employees for services based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued and accounts for equity instruments issued to other than employees based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments whichever is more reliably measurable.
The Company accounts for stock based compensation in accordance with SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. The provisions of SFAS 123 allow companies to either expense the estimated fair value of stock options or to continue to follow the intrinsic value method set forth in APB Opinion 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB Opinion 25) but disclose the proforma effects on net income (loss) had the fair value of the options been expensed. The Company has elected to continue to apply APB Opinion 25 in accounting for its stock option incentive plans.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 123(R), Share-Based Payment. SFAS 123(R) amends SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and APB Opinion 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. SFAS 123(R) requires that the cost of share-based payment transactions (including those with employees and non-employees) be recognized in the financial statements. SFAS 123(R) applies to all share-based payment transactions in which an entity acquires goods or services by issuing (or offering to issue) its shares, share options, or other equity instruments (except for those held by an ESOP) or by incurring liabilities (1) in amounts based (even in part) on the price of the entitys shares or other equity instruments, or (2) that require (or may require) settlement by the issuance of an entitys shares or other equity instruments. This statement is effective (1) for public companies qualifying as SEC small business issuers, as of the first interim period or fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2005, or (2) for all other public companies, as of the first interim period or fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2005, or (3) for all nonpublic entities, as of the first fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2005.
The Company outsources the production of its DriverMax® products to ICE Corporation of Manhattan, Kansas. If, for some reason the relationship between the Company and ICE Corporation should be interrupted or discontinued, the operations of the Company could be adversely affected until such time an alternative supply source could be located, contracted and begin producing our technology. Such an event could materially effect the results of operations of the Company. The Company continues to review its relationship with this single source and believes there is no need for an alternative source at this time. As sales of product grow the Company will continue to review alternative sources.

There have been no significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the evaluation date.
