PRECISION OPTICS CORPORATION, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

 

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Principles of Consolidation and Operations

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Precision Optics Corporation, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. All shares and per share data reflect the 1-for-25 reverse stock split that became effective on December 11, 2008.

 

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, without audit, and reflect normal recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results of the second quarter of the Company’s fiscal year 2011. These consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures associated with annual consolidated financial statements and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with footnotes contained in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2010 together with the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm filed under cover of the Company’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

The Company has sustained recurring net losses and negative cash flows from operations for several years. During the quarter ended December 31, 2010, the Company incurred a net loss of $330,950 and used cash in operations of $181,439. As of December 31, 2010, cash and cash equivalents were $99,588, accounts receivable were $270,945 and current liabilities were $1,984,142. The Company and certain Officers and Directors have agreed that deferred officers’ salaries and director consulting expenses accrued at December 31, 2010 will be settled by issuing 245,326 shares of restricted common stock rather than by cash payments. These deferred amounts included in current liabilities at December 31, 2010 total $674,645. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.  During the latter part of fiscal year 2008, the Company implemented plans to reduce costs and to streamline operations in an effort to reduce net losses. The Company believes that the recent introduction of several new products, along with new and on-going customer relationships, will generate additional revenues, which are required in order for the Company to achieve profitability. If these additional revenues are not achieved on a timely basis, the Company will be required and is prepared to implement further cost reduction measures, as necessary.

 

The Company has incurred quarter to quarter operating losses during its recent efforts to develop current products including endoscopes, image couplers, beamsplitters, night vision and micro-optic lenses, prisms and assemblies for various applications and utilizing a number of proprietary and patent-pending technologies including Lenslock™ endoscope and micro-precision™ lens technologies. Management expects that such operating losses will continue through fiscal year 2011, and until sales increase to breakeven and profitable levels. Management also believes that the opportunities represented by these products have the potential to generate sales increases to achieve breakeven and profitable results. The Company will continue its review of other expense areas to determine where additional reductions in discretionary spending can be achieved. There can be no assurance that the Company’s operating plans will be successful, and if so required, that the Company will be successful in obtaining the capital necessary to continue ongoing operations.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

Loss Per Share

 

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the effect of stock options and warrants was antidilutive; therefore, they were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share. The number of shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants that were excluded from the computation was 1,112,253 and 992,999 for the three and six months ended December 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

In assessing the likelihood of utilization of existing deferred tax assets, management has considered historical results of operations and the current operating environment. Based on this evaluation, a full valuation reserve has been provided for the deferred tax assets.

3. 10% SENIOR SECURED CONVERTIBLE NOTES

 

On June 25, 2008, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement with institutional and other accredited investors (the “Investors”) pursuant to which it sold a total of $600,000 of 10% Senior Secured Convertible Notes (the “Notes”) that are convertible at the Investor’s option into a total of 480,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion rate of $1.25. The Company also issued warrants to purchase a total of 316,800 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $1.75 per share (the “Warrants”). Interest accrues on the Notes at a rate of 10% per year and is payable in cash upon the earlier of conversion or maturity of the Notes. The original maturity of the Notes was June 25, 2010 and the Warrants expire on June 25, 2015, subject to extension. On June 25, 2008, we entered into a Purchase Agreement, as amended on December 11, 2008, with certain accredited investors (the “Investors”) pursuant to which we sold an aggregate of $600,000 of 10% Senior Secured Convertible Notes (the “Notes”).  The Investors amended the Notes on several dates to extend the “Stated Maturity Date” of the Notes. On February 7, 2011, the Investors further amended the Notes to extend the “Stated Maturity Date” to February 25, 2011. The conversion price of the Notes and the exercise price of the Warrants may be adjusted downward in the event the Company issues shares of common stock or securities convertible into common stock at a price lower than the conversion price of the Notes or exercise price of the Warrants at the time of issuance.

 

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Notes and Warrants were not convertible or exercisable until the Company implemented a 1 for 6 reverse stock split, which required the approval of its stockholders. On November 25, 2008, the Company entered into a Side Letter Agreement in which the Investors agreed to change the ratio of the reverse split from 1 for 6 to 1 for 25. On December 11, 2008, the Company effected a 1 for 25 reverse split of its common stock.

 

Pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement entered into with the Investors on June 25, 2008, the Company agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission by the earlier of (i) two days following the effectiveness of the amendment to implement a reverse stock split and (ii) December 15, 2008, to register the resale of the common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Notes and the exercise of the Warrants. The Company agreed to keep the registration statement effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which all the securities covered by the registration statement, as amended from time to time, have been sold and (ii) the date on which all the securities covered by such registration statement may be sold without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933.

 

The Notes contain covenants binding on the Company and certain events of default, including but not limited, to:

 

·                  the failure of the Company to make a scheduled payment;

 

·                  the failure of the Company to make payments in excess of $100,000 on any liability or obligation, or if there is an acceleration of the stated maturity of any liability or obligation in excess of $100,000; or

 

·                  the Company entering bankruptcy.

 

6


 

If an event of default occurs and is uncured within the allowable grace period, if any, the Investors may declare all amounts under the Notes immediately due and payable and may pursue any other available remedies.

 

The 10% Senior Secured Convertible Notes consist of the following:

10% Senior Secured Convertible Notes issued on June 25, 2008, convertible into common stock at $1.25 per share, bearing interest at 10% per annum. Outstanding principal and accrued interest are due at maturity

4.                                       STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

Stock-based compensation costs recognized during the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2010 amounted to $3,176 and $6,352, respectively, and for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2009 amounted to $ 4,795 and $7,971, respectively, and were included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. No compensation has been capitalized because such amounts would have been immaterial. There was no net income tax benefit recognized related to such compensation for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, as the Company is currently in a loss position.

 

As of December 31, 2010, the unrecognized compensation costs related to options vesting will be primarily recognized over a period of approximately six months:

5.                                       WARRANTS

 

During the quarter ended December 31, 2010, the Company issued warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share to several consultants to the Company. The warrants are exercisable beginning six months after December 16, 2010 (the issue date) and expire on December 16, 2013. The Black-Scholes option pricing model was used to calculate the fair value of the warrants, which was estimated to be $0.10 per share, or $10,000 in total. The expense associated with issuing the warrants will be recognized ratably over the six-month vesting period. A non-cash charge of $833 was recorded in Selling, General and Administrative Expenses in the quarter ended December 31, 2010 in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

On December 3, 2010, Richard Forkey, who was at the time the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, agreed to reduce his annual salary to $100,000 per year, none of which will be deferred, and reduce his vacation accrual by $43,011 at his new rate of pay to $10,000.  He also entered into an agreement to convert all $474,646 of his previously deferred salary into 172,599 shares of our common stock.  One eighth of the shares vest on January 1, 2012, and one eighth will vest on the first day of each quarter thereafter, commencing on April 1, 2012, until the shares are fully vested.

 

On December 3, 2010, Joseph Forkey, who was at the time the Company’s Chief Scientific Officer, agreed to reduce his vacation accrual by $4,824 at his current rate of pay, to $10,000.  Joseph Forkey’s salary will remain the same at $120,000 and none of it will be deferred.  He also agreed to convert all $29,999 of his previously deferred salary into 10,909 shares of our common stock.  One-eighth of the shares vest on January 1, 2012, and one eighth will vest on the first day of each quarter thereafter, commencing on April 1, 2012, until the shares are fully vested.

 

On December 3, 2010, the Company agreed with Joel Pitlor, Director, to terminate his consulting agreement with the Company.  The Company also agreed to convert all $170,000 of the previously deferred consulting compensation owed to Mr. Pitlor into 61,818 shares of our common stock.  One eighth of the shares vest on January 1, 2012, and one eighth shall vest on the first day of each quarter thereafter, commencing on April 1, 2012, until the shares are fully vested.  Mr. Pitlor will remain as a Director of the Company.

 

Pursuant to the agreements with Richard Forkey, Joseph Forkey and Joel Pitlor, the shares of common stock will be issued as registered stock if the Company files a Form S-8 within six months of entering into the agreements.  If the Company does not file a Form S-8 within six months, then the Company will issue the shares as restricted stock.

 

The following table indicates what the future effects will be on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet upon the issuance of restricted stock in settlement of liabilities for deferred compensation and professional services, as indicated above:

Important Factors Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.  You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.  Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements for many reasons, including the risks described in this report, the risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2010 and other reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Although we believe the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, they relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made.  We do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this report to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in our expectations, except as required by law.

 

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and Notes thereto, and other financial information included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

Overview

 

We have been a developer and manufacturer of advanced optical instruments since 1982. We design and produce high-quality micro-optics, medical instruments and other advanced optical systems. Our medical instrumentation line includes laparoscopes, arthroscopes and endocouplers and a world-class product line of 3-D endoscopes for use in minimally invasive surgical procedures.

 

8


 

We are currently developing specialty instruments incorporating our Lenslock™ technology (patent pending) that ensures lower cost, easier reparability and enhanced durability as compared to other design approaches used in the industry. We are also aggressively pursuing ultra-small instruments, some with lenses less than 1 mm in diameter, utilizing micro-precision™ lens technology (patent pending).

 

We are registered to the ISO 9001:2008, ISO 13485:2003, and Canadian Medical Devices Conformity Assessment System, or CMDCAS, Quality Standards and comply with the FDA Good Manufacturing Practices and the European Union Medical Device Directive for CE marking of our medical products. Our internet website is www.poci.com. Information on our website is not intended to be integrated into this report.

 

The areas in which we do business are highly competitive and include both foreign and domestic competitors. Many of our competitors are larger and have substantially greater resources than we do. Furthermore, other domestic or foreign companies, some with greater financial resources than we have, may seek to produce products or services that compete with ours. We routinely outsource specialized production efforts as required, both domestic and offshore, to obtain the most cost effective production. Over the years, we have achieved extensive experience with other optical specialists worldwide.

 

Since the 1990s, we have maintained a Hong Kong subsidiary to support business and quality control activities as required throughout Asia. We believe that the cost savings from such production are essential to our ability to compete on a price basis in the medical products area particularly and to our profitability in general.

 

We believe that competition for sales of our medical products and services, which have been principally sold to original equipment manufacturer, or OEM, customers, is based on performance and other technical features, as well as other factors, such as scheduling and reliability, in addition to competitive price.

 

We believe that our future success depends to a large degree on our ability to continue to conceive and to develop new optical products and services to enhance the performance characteristics and methods of manufacture of existing products. Accordingly, we expect to continue to seek to obtain product-related design and development contracts with customers and to invest our own funds on research and development, to the extent funds are available.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

General

 

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, referred to as U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

There have been no significant changes in the critical accounting policies disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2010.

 

Results of Operations

 

Our total revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 were $435,770, as compared to $686,036 for the same period last year, a decrease of $250,266, or 36.5%. Our total revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2010 were $1,119,672, as compared to $1,309,420 for the same period last year, a decrease of $189,748, or 14.5%. The decrease in revenues for the current quarter and six months ended December 31, 2010 was due principally to lower unit sales of endocouplers, rigid endoscopes and sales of the advanced surgical visualization system used in spinal surgery. Revenues from our largest customers, as a percentage of total revenues, for the six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, were as follows:

No other customer accounted for more than 10% of our revenues during those periods.

 

Gross profit for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 was $92,790, which reflects a decrease of $145,969, compared to $238,759 for the same period last year. Gross profit for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 as a percentage of revenues decreased from 34.8% for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 to 21.3% in the current year. Gross profit for the six months ended December 31, 2010 was $445,027, which reflects a decrease of $12,758, compared to $457,785 for the same period last year. Gross profit for the six months ended December 31, 2010 as a percentage of revenues increased from 35.0% for the six months ended December 31, 2009 to 39.7% in the current year. The decrease in our gross profit percentage in the quarter ended December 31, 2010 compared to the same period last year was due primarily to lower overall sales volume. The increase in our gross profit percentage for the six months ended December 31, 2010 compared to the same period last year was due primarily to more favorable product mix, partially offset by slightly lower unit sales volume. Our quarterly gross profit and gross profit percentage depend on a number of factors, including overall sales volume and mix of products sold among others and therefore vary from quarter to quarter.

 

Research and development expenses were $246,093 for the quarter ended December 31, 2010, compared to $180,016 for the same period last year, an increase of $66,077, or 36.7%. Research and development expenses were $473,587 for the six months ended December 31, 2010, compared to $194,663 for the same period last year, an increase of $278,924, or 143.3%.  The increase in R&D expenses was due primarily to higher labor and material costs incurred on product development activities, and decreased reimbursements from customers for such activities.  Research and development expenses depend on our assessment of new product opportunities and available resources. Research and development expenses were net of reimbursement of related costs of $53,173 and $29,244 during the quarters ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $107,804 and $193,627 during the six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $180,657 for the quarter ended December 31, 2010, compared to $300,617 for the same period last year, a decrease of $119,960, or 39.9%. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $460,429 for the six months ended December 31, 2010, compared to $613,303 for the same period last year, a decrease of $152,874, or 24.9%.  The decrease was due primarily to the implementation of certain cost containment plans beginning in fiscal year 2008 and 2009 including

 

10


 

workforce reductions, as mentioned above, and a reduction in the accrued vacation liabilities for certain officers in connection with the settlement of deferred compensation liabilities. (See Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements).

 

Interest expense was $15,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2010, compared to $64,875 for the same period last year, a decrease of $49,875, or 76.9%. Interest expense was $30,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2010, compared to $129,750 for the same period last year, a decrease of $99,750, or 76.9%. The decrease was due to discontinuation of the amortization of debt discount on the 10% Senior Secured Convertible Notes issued on June 25, 2008. The debt discount became fully amortized during fiscal year 2010.

 

No income tax provision was recorded in the first half of fiscal year 2011 or 2010 because of the losses generated in those periods.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We compete in a highly technical, very competitive, and in most cases, price driven segment of the medical instrument marketplace where products can take years to develop and introduce to distributors and end users. Furthermore, research and development, manufacturing, marketing and distribution activities are strictly regulated by the FDA, ISO and other regulatory bodies that, while intended to enhance the ultimate quality and functionality of products produced, can contribute to the significant cost and time needed to maintain existing products and develop and introduce product enhancements and new product innovations.

 

We have traditionally funded working capital needs through product sales, management of working capital components of our business, and by cash received from public and private offerings of our common stock, warrants to purchase shares of our common stock and convertible notes. We have incurred quarter to quarter operating losses during our efforts to develop current products including endoscopes, image couplers, beamsplitters, night vision and micro-optic lenses, prisms and assemblies for various applications utilizing a number of proprietary and patent-pending technologies including Lenslock™ endoscope and micro-precision™ lens technologies. Our management expects that such operating losses will continue until sales increase to breakeven and profitable levels. Our management also believes that the opportunities represented by these products have the potential to generate sales increases to achieve breakeven and profitable results.

 

Our current financial condition may raise doubt among potential equity investors, customers and suppliers regarding our ability to continue as a going concern, as referenced by the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on our financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2010, included in our Form 10-K. We may not be able to obtain working capital funds necessary in the time frame needed and at satisfactory terms to correct the going concern issue.

 

As of December 31, 2010, cash and cash equivalents were $99,588, accounts receivable were $270,945 and current liabilities were $1,984,142.  We have agreed with certain Officers and Directors that deferred officers’ salaries and director consulting expenses accrued at December 31, 2010 will be settled by issuing 245,326 shares of restricted common stock rather than by cash payments. These deferred amounts included in current liabilities at December 31, 2010 total $674,645. We believe that the introduction of several new products during the last four fiscal years, along with new and on-going customer relationships, will continue to generate additional revenues, which are required in order for us to achieve profitability. If these additional revenues are not achieved on a timely basis, we will be required and are prepared to implement further cost reduction measures, as necessary.

Trends and Uncertainties That May Affect Future Results

 

For the quarter ended December 31, 2010, our cash and cash equivalents decreased by $166,820, and our operating loss for the quarter was $316,022.  As of December 31, 2010, we had $99,588 in cash and cash equivalents.  If our cash reserves decrease further, we will be required to seek additional funding for operations. We predict that we will not have sufficient cash to continue operations through

 

11

 


 

the next three months unless we receive additional funding for operations. We are actively pursuing several options to manage cash flow and raise capital including issuing debt, equity or entering into a strategic alliance. The sale of additional equity or convertible debt securities would result in additional dilution to our stockholders, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants that could restrict our operations or finances. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If we cannot raise funds on acceptable terms or achieve positive cash flow, we may not be able to continue to conduct operations, develop new products, grow market share, take advantage of future opportunities or respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated requirements, any of which would negatively impact our business, operating results and financial condition. If we are not successful in increasing our revenues, reducing our expenses or raising additional equity capital to generate sufficient cash flows to meet our obligations as they come due, we may not be able to continue as a going concern.

 

The $600,000 principal and $150,833 interest, as of December 31, 2010, on the 10% Senior Secured Convertible Notes are due February 25, 2011. This amount may be reduced to the extent the holders of the Notes elect to convert some or all of the principal on the Notes into our common stock. Should the holders not elect to convert all or a substantial amount of the balances due on the Notes into our common stock, we will not be able to generate enough cash from our operations to pay these balances in full on the specified due date.  The holders of the Notes have granted us several extensions of the maturity date and we believe the holders will continue to work with us in that regard however there is no guarantee they will further extend the maturity date.  Additionally, we may renegotiate terms with the holders or refinance this debt and, in either case, if available, the terms may be more burdensome. We are currently exploring the possibility of obtaining additional funding sources to satisfy this repayment obligation.

 

In the event the holders do not elect to convert all or a substantial amount of the balances due on the Notes into our common stock, or if we are not able to renegotiate the terms or obtain financing on terms satisfactory to us, or at all, we may ultimately be unable to meet our payment obligations under the Notes. In such event, all unpaid principal and interest will become immediately due and payable and the holders may pursue any other available remedies. The Notes are secured by a pledge of our assets pursuant to a pledge and security agreement and the security documents ancillary thereto, and in the event we are unable to meet our payment obligations, the holders would have the ability to require that we immediately pay all outstanding indebtedness, and we might not have sufficient assets to satisfy their demands. It is possible that in this event, we may be forced to seek protection under bankruptcy laws, which could harm our future operations and overall financial condition. Additionally, a debt default could significantly diminish the market value and marketability of our common stock.

 

During the last two quarters of 2008 and continuing through fiscal year 2010, we implemented certain cost containment plans which included focusing on a limited number of products and technologies expected to provide near term revenues, streamlining operations, workforce reductions and deferring certain development initiatives. These measures reduced our overhead expenses.

 

Going forward, we intend to focus our development efforts on products we believe offer the best prospects to increase our near-term revenues. An example beyond the new instruments mentioned above includes the lenses we developed for a new color Night Vision system. During the quarter ended December 31, 2009, we shipped first article pre-production lens systems. These are for use in the new color Night Vision system, and utilize an improved design that offers lower cost and lighter weight.

 

We expect our pattern of quarter-to-quarter revenue fluctuations to continue, due to the introductory stage of many of our products and the unpredictable timing of orders from customers and the size of those orders in relation to total revenues. Contingent on available funding, we intend to continue to develop and commercialize new products and technical innovations, in particular:

 

·                  a new generation of endoscopes that incorporate Lenslock™ technology (patent pending);

 

·                  new components and instruments utilizing our new micro-precision™ lens technology (patent pending) for optical components and endoscopes under 1 mm;

 

·                  new custom medical products; and

 

·                  new night vision lenses.

 

However, if we do not have sufficient capital to develop and commercialize these products, our future revenues may decline if we cannot offer the innovative products the market is seeking. Over the past few years, we have implemented significant changes in new product and technology development by shifting the emphasis of research and development efforts from developing underlying technologies to commercialization of the applications of these new technologies. These have already been realized to some degree in a number of areas. Over the past two to three years our efforts have produced revenues from our new micro-precision™ lens products and new Lenslock™ endoscopes. Recent initiatives in the area of micro-precision™ lenses address specific customer opportunities in different medical specialty applications. In endoscope technologies, we continue new product offerings in our Lenslock™ product line. We have shipped over 600 ENT endoscopes with diameter of 2.7 mm that incorporate Lenslock™ technology. We recently

 

12


 

completed prototypes of our 4 mm Lenslock™ sinuscope, and 5 mm Lenslock™ laproscope, and are actively pursuing development of our new 4 mm Lenslock™ wide field arthroscope. We believe that our Lenslock™ technology has advantages over competitive products due to ease of manufacture and repair, superior image quality, significant cost effectiveness and quality of repair. We anticipate that further incorporating this technology into our endoscope product line will lead to increased sales.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

As a Smaller Reporting Company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K, we are electing scaled disclosure reporting obligations and therefore are not required to provide the information requested by this Item.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b) as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based on that evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that the following disclosure controls and procedures were not effective

 

Segregation of Duties: As previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, our management identified a control deficiency during the 2008 fiscal year because we lacked sufficient staff to segregate accounting duties. We believe the control deficiency resulted primarily because we have the equivalent of one and one-half persons performing all accounting-related on-site duties. As a result, we did not maintain adequate segregation of duties within our critical financial reporting applications, the related modules and financial reporting processes. This control deficiency could result in a misstatement of balance sheet and income statement accounts in our interim or annual consolidated financial statements that would not be detected. Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness. No audit adjustments to our audited financial statements as of June 30, 2009 or 2010 were necessary as a result of this condition.

 

To address and remediate the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described above, beginning with the quarter ended September 30, 2008 and continuing through the quarter ended December 31, 2010, we instituted a procedure whereby our President, our Executive Vice President and other members of our Board of Directors perform a higher level review of the Quarterly and Annual Reports on Form 10-Q and Form 10-K prior to filing.

 

We believe that the step outlined above strengthens our internal control over financial reporting and mitigates the material weakness described above. As part of our 2010 assessment of internal control over financial reporting, our management has evaluated this additional control and has determined that it is operating effectively.

 

Inventory Valuation: As previously disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, we reported a material weakness with respect to the valuation of our inventories. Specifically, the amounts used to value our inventory at June 30, 2009 with respect to overhead rates and purchased items were often not consistent with the supporting documentation, due to year-to-year changes in overhead rates and costs of purchased items that were not properly reflected in inventory valuation. Accordingly, management had determined that this control deficiency constituted a material weakness as of June 30, 2009. No audit adjustments to our audited financial statements as of June 30, 2009 or 2010 were necessary as a result of this condition.

 

To address and remediate the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described above, beginning in the quarter ended September 30, 2009 and continuing through the quarter ended December 31, 2010, we implemented procedures to improve our inventory controls and documentation surrounding inventory valuation for overhead rates, and performed procedures to ensure that the pricing of inventory items was consistent with the supporting documentation. No audit adjustments to our audited financial statements as of June 30, 2010 were necessary as a result of this condition. We believe that the step outlined above strengthens our internal control over financial reporting and mitigates the material weakness described above.

 

We intend to continue to remediate material weaknesses and enhance our internal controls but cannot guarantee that our efforts will result in remediation of our material weaknesses or that new issues will not be exposed in this process.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the second quarter of our fiscal year covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings.

 

We may be involved from time to time in ordinary litigation, negotiation and settlement matters that will not have a material effect on our operations or finances. We are not aware of any pending or threatened litigation against us or our officers and directors in their capacity as such that could have a material impact on our operations or finances.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

 

Other than as described below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors as previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K in response to Item 1A. to Part 1 of Form 10-K.

 

As of December 31, 2010, we do not have sufficient cash to continue operations for the next three months and if we do not obtain funding for our operations, we may cease to exist as a going concern.

 

For the quarter ended December 31, 2010, our cash and cash equivalents decreased by $166,820, and our operating loss for the quarter was $316,022.  As of December 31, 2010, we had $99,588 in cash and cash equivalents.  If our cash reserves decrease in the future, we will be required to seek additional funding for operations. We predict that we will not have sufficient cash to continue operations through the next three months unless we receive additional funding for operations. We are actively pursuing several options to manage cash flow and raise capital including issuing debt, equity or entering into a strategic alliance. The sale of additional equity or convertible debt securities would result in additional dilution to our stockholders, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants that could restrict our operations or finances. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If we cannot raise funds on acceptable terms or achieve positive cash flow, we may not be able to continue to conduct operations, develop new products, grow market share, take advantage of future opportunities or respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated requirements, any of which would negatively impact our business, operating results and financial condition. If we are not successful in increasing our revenues, reducing our expenses or raising additional equity capital to generate sufficient cash flows to meet our obligations as they come due, we may not be able to continue as a going concern.
