PRECISION OPTICS CORPORATION, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED INTERIM 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 (the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

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 third quarter of the Company’s fiscal year 2012. 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, 2011 together with the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm filed under cover of the Company’s 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 28, 2011.

 

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.

 

Income (Loss) Per Share

 

Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income or net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income or net loss (adjusted by adding back interest expense on senior convertible notes) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, plus the number of potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period such as stock options and warrants and shares issuable upon conversion of senior convertible notes. For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011, the effect of such securities was antidilutive and not included in the diluted calculation because of the net loss generated in those periods.

 

The following is the calculation of income (loss) per share for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011:

 

			Three Months Ended March 31								Nine Months Ended March 31
			2012				2011				2012				2011
Net Income (Loss) – Basic		$	(492,139	)		$	(302,312	)		$	1,181,427			$	(791,109	)
Interest Expense on Senior Convertible Notes			-				-				28,958				-
Net Income (Loss) – Diluted		$	(492,139	)		$	(302,312	)		$	1,210,385			$	(791,109	)
Basic Weighted Average Shares Outstanding			1,245,339				971,013				1,135,432				1,002,669
Potentially Dilutive Securities			-				-				108,095				-
Diluted Weighted Average Shares Outstanding			1,245,339				971,013				1,243,527				1,002,669
Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic		$	(0.40	)		$	(0.31	)		$	1.04			$	(0.79	)
Diluted		$	(0.40	)		$	(0.31	)		$	0.97			$	(0.79	)

 

The number of shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants that were excluded from the computation as their effect was antidilutive was approximately 811,000 and 1,112,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and approximately 620,000 and 1,112,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, 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.

 

2.    INVENTORIES

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market and consist of the following:

 

		March 31, 2012				June 30, 2011
Raw Materials		$	261,080			$	271,608
Work-In-Progress			317,631				312,097
Finished Goods			119,639				82,580
Total Inventories		$	698,350			$	666,285

 

3.    10% SENIOR SECURED CONVERTIBLE NOTES

 

On June 25, 2008, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement, as amended on December 11, 2008, 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. By mutual agreement with the Company, the Investors amended the Notes on several dates to extend the “Stated Maturity Date” of the Notes. 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 have been sold, and (ii) the date on which all the securities 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.

   

  

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.

 

On December 15, 2011, the Company repaid Special Situations Fund III QP, L.P. a principal repayment of $275,000 and accrued interest of $95,486, for a total payment of $370,486. On December 15, 2011, the Company repaid Special Situations Private Equity Fund, L.P. a principal repayment of $275,000 and accrued interest of $95,486, for a total payment of $370,486. The Notes held by Special Situations Fund III QP, L.P. and Special Situations Private Equity Fund, L.P. have been satisfied in full and the obligations thereunder have been terminated.

 

On March 31, 2012, the remaining Investor, Arnold Schumsky, further amended his remaining Note to extend the “Stated Maturity Date” of the principal to July 31, 2012 and to modify the Note such that all accrued and unpaid interest on the Note up to and including March 31, 2012 shall be due on or before April 13, 2012, on the condition that the Company issue to him a warrant for 5,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $1.20 per share and a term of three years. On April 13, 2012, the Company repaid Mr. Schumsky a payment of the accrued interest of $18,819, and such payment included all accrued and unpaid interest on the Note up to and including March 31, 2012. On May 8, 2012, the Company issued Mr. Schumsky the warrant according to the terms described in the amended Note.

 

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

  

		March 31, 2012				June 30, 2011
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, July 31, 2012		$	50,000			$	600,000
Accrued interest—10% coupon due on April 13, 2012			18,819				180,833
		$	68,819			$	780,833

   

 4.    STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

On February 9, 2012, the Company granted an aggregate of 51,000 options to purchase shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.55 per share to certain employees, and agreed to issue 6,000 unregistered shares of common stock to a consultant, or his designee, as consideration for consulting services provided to the Company. On March 2, 2012, the Company granted an aggregate of 207,800 options to purchase shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.20 per share to certain officers and directors of the Company.

 

Stock-based compensation costs recognized during the quarters ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 amounted to $34,260 and $8,176, respectively, and the costs were included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations in: selling, general and administrative expenses (2012 - $33,360; 2011 - $5,000), and cost of goods sold (2012 - $900; 2011 - $3,176). Stock-based compensation costs recognized during  the nine month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 amounted to $52,160 and $15,361, respectively, and were included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations in: selling, general and administrative expenses (2012 - $45,860; 2011 - $5,833), and cost of goods sold (2012 - $6,300, 2011 - $9,528). No compensation has been capitalized because such amounts would have been immaterial.  No income tax provision was recorded in the third quarter or first nine months of fiscal years 2012 or 2011 because of the availability of loss carryforwards to offset any anticipated taxable income in fiscal year 2012 and fiscal year 2011.

 

The following tables summarize stock option activity during the first nine months of fiscal year 2012:

 

		Options Outstanding

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.

 

We are currently developing specialty instruments incorporating our patented Lenslock™ technology that ensures lower cost, easier reparability and enhanced durability as compared to other design approaches used in the industry. We are also aggressively pursuing the development of ultra-small instruments, some with lenses less than 1 mm in diameter, utilizing our patented microprecision™ lens technology. By combining our microprecision™ lens technology with recently introduced micro complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor, or CMOS, image sensors, we are now able to produce single-use, micro-medical cameras with diameters of approximately one millimeter.

 

We are registered to the ISO 9001:2008 and 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 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 the cost savings from such production are essential to our ability to compete on a price basis in the medical products area in particular 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 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 selectively invest our own funds on research and development.

  

   

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

General

 

This 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 our critical accounting policies as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2011, filed September 28, 2011.

 

Results of Operations

 

Our total revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, the third quarter of our fiscal year 2012, were $382,264, as compared to $495,423 for the same period in the prior year, a decrease of $113,159, or 22.8%. The decrease in revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 was primarily due to lower unit volume sales of micro optics and lower unit volume sales of the advanced surgical visualization system used in spinal surgery, partially offset by higher sales of endoscopes. Our total revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 were $1,380,787, as compared to $1,615,096 for the same period in the prior year, a decrease of $234,309, or 14.5%. The decrease in revenues for the nine month period was primarily due to lower unit volume sales of micro optics and lower unit volume sales of the advanced surgical visualization system used in spinal surgery, partially offset by higher sales of endoscopes.

 

Revenues from our largest customers, as a percentage of our total revenues, for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, were as follows:

 

		2012				2011
Customer A			36%				20%
Customer B			15				26
Customer C			11				2
Customer D			3				20
All Others			35				32
			100%				100%

  

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

 

Gross profit for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 was $10,323, as compared to $134,406 for the same period in the prior year, which reflects a decrease of $124,083. Gross profit for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 as a percentage of our revenues was 2.7%, a decrease from the gross profit percentage of 27.1% for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in our gross profit percentage was due primarily to lower overall unit sales volume in the quarter ended March 31, 2012 compared to the same period in the prior year. Gross profit for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 was $260,937, as compared to $579,433 for the same period in the prior year, which reflects a decrease of $318,496. Gross profit for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 as a percentage of our revenues was 18.9%, a decrease from the gross profit percentage of 35.9% for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in our gross profit percentage was primarily due to lower overall unit sales volume and less favorable product mix in the nine months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the same period in the prior year. 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 $198,608 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, compared to $163,672 for the same period in the prior year, an increase of $34,936, or 21.3%. The increase in the quarter ended March 31, 2012 compared to same period in the prior year was primarily due to lower labor and materials costs incurred on product development activities, which more than offset the decreased reimbursements we received from customers for such activities. Quarterly 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 $11,822 and $70,541 during the quarters ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Research and development expenses were $498,842 for the nine months ended March 31, 2012, compared to $637,259 for the same period in the prior year, a decrease of $138,417, or 21.7%.  The decrease in the nine month period ended March 31, 2012 compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to lower labor and materials costs incurred on product development activities, partially offset by decreased reimbursements received from customers for such activities. Research and development expenses were net of reimbursement of related costs of $49,252 and $178,345 during the nine months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

 

   

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $309,913 for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, compared to $264,493 for the same period in the prior year, an increase of $45,420, or 17.2%. The increase in the quarter ended March 31, 2012 compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to higher noncash stock compensation expenses related to stock options issued in the quarter ended March 31, 2012. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $837,987 for the nine months ended March 31, 2012, compared to $724,923 for the same period in the prior year, an increase of $113,064, or 15.6%. The increase in the nine month period ended March 31, 2012 compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to a reduction in the accrued vacation liabilities for certain officers in connection with the settlement of deferred compensation liabilities recorded in the quarter ended December 31, 2010 and higher noncash stock compensation expenses primarily recorded in the quarter ended March 31, 2012.

  

No income tax provision was recorded in the third quarter or first nine months of fiscal years 2012 or 2011 because of the availability of loss carryforwards to offset any anticipated taxable income in fiscal year 2012 and fiscal year 2011.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

In July 2011, we received $2,500,000 (less $36,829 in transaction expenses) in connection with an asset purchase agreement with Intuitive Surgical Operations, Inc.  We had immediate use of the net proceeds of $2,463,171. This influx of capital allowed us to retire outstanding long term debt as necessary, and to satisfy our immediate cash requirements as we move forward with our business objectives to increase sales of newly developed products.

 

On December 15, 2011, we repaid Special Situations Fund III QP, L.P. a principal repayment of $275,000 and accrued interest of $95,486, for a total payment of $370,486. On December 15, 2011, we repaid Special Situations Private Equity Fund, L.P. a principal repayment of $275,000 and accrued interest of $95,486, for a total payment of $370,486. The Notes held by Special Situations Fund III QP, L.P. and Special Situations Private Equity Fund, L.P. have been satisfied in full and the obligations thereunder have been terminated. On March 31, 2012, the remaining Investor, Arnold Schumsky, further amended his remaining Note to extend the “Stated Maturity Date” of the principal to July 31, 2012 and to modify the Note such that all accrued and unpaid interest on the Note up to and including March 31, 2012 shall be due on or before April 13, 2012, on the condition that we issue to him a warrant for 5,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $1.20 per share and a term of three years. On April 13, 2012, we repaid Mr. Schumsky a payment of the accrued interest of $18,819, and such payment included all accrued and unpaid interest on the Note up to and including March 31, 2012. On May 8, 2012, we issued Mr. Schumsky the warrant according to the terms described in the amended Note.

 

Moving forward, we intend to build upon recent successes in technology development and new product introductions. We believe the following technology areas continue to represent significant opportunities for future sales growth:

  

	●	Lenslock™ endoscopes and other minimally invasive surgical devices which provide significant benefits to surgeons and hospitals through better image quality and reduced lifetime ownership costs;
	●	Microprecision™ optical elements and assemblies with sizes less than 1 mm that enable the introduction of imaging capabilities in locations in the body previously inaccessible. We believe the combination of our microprecision™ lens technology with recently introduced micro CMOS image sensors will make possible the fabrication of micro-medical cameras in high volume quantities for single-use applications; and
	●	next generation handheld stereoendoscopes that provide high definition 3D images for use in minimally invasive surgery.

   

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 U.S. Food and Drug Administration, International Organization for Standardization, 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. In July 2011, we received proceeds of $2,500,000 in connection with the execution of an asset purchase agreement with Intuitive Surgical Operations, Inc. We have incurred quarter to quarter operating losses during our efforts to develop current products including endoscopes, image couplers, night vision and micro-optic lenses, prisms and assemblies for various applications utilizing a number of proprietary and patented technologies including Lenslock™ endoscope and microprecision™ lens technologies. Our management expects that such operating losses will continue through fiscal year 2012 and 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.

 

 

 

If these additional revenues are not achieved on a timely basis, we will be required to pursue several options to manage cash flow and raise capital, including issuing debt or 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.

 

We have sustained recurring net losses for several years. During the year ended June 30, 2011, we incurred a net loss of $1,052,613 and used cash in operations of $413,525. For the quarter ended March 31, 2012, we used cash in operations of $357,815 and our operating loss for the quarter was $490,890. As of March 31, 2012, cash and cash equivalents were $436,219, accounts receivable were $119,479, and current liabilities were $625,967. Deferred officers’ salaries and director consulting expenses accrued as of September 30, 2011 were settled by the issuance in October 2011 of 245,326 shares of common stock rather than by cash payments. These deferred amounts included in current liabilities at September 30, 2011 totaled $674,645.

  

Contractual cash commitments for the fiscal years subsequent to March 31, 2012 are summarized as follows:

 

		2012				2013				Thereafter				Total
Operating Leases		$	6,038			$	---			$	—			$	6,038
Principal & Interest (1)			68,819				—				—				68,819
Totals		$	74,857			$	----			$	—			$	74,857

(1) This amount may be reduced to the extent the holder of the Senior Secured Convertible Note elects to convert the principal on the Note into our common stock.

 

We have contractual cash commitments related to open purchase orders for fiscal year 2012 of approximately $215,000.

 

Trends and Uncertainties That May Affect Future Results

 

During fiscal year 2010 after implementing a number of changes to reduce cash usage and increase sales and profitability, our cash flow was positive for the first time in many years. In fiscal year 2011, the major focus of our senior management was shifted to finding a long-term solution to our obligations under the 10% Senior Secured Convertible Notes (the “Notes”) which initially became due just before the beginning of fiscal year 2011. While we continued to work to advance product development and sales and marketing efforts, the requirement to find a solution for the Notes while simultaneously continuing operations of our Company with limited capital resources resulted in an overall reduction in sales volume and delay of business plans. With the consummation of an asset purchase agreement with Intuitive Surgical Operations, Inc. in July 2011, we received sufficient cash to retire the Notes and to provide working capital for our Company. Moving forward, the major focus of our senior management in fiscal year 2012 is to recover the business plan. We intend to increase sales of our existing and new technologies, and to achieve profitability.

 

Due to the introductory stage of many of our products and the unpredictable timing of orders from customers, it is difficult to predict with certainty the detailed rate of future revenue growth. However, we expect that current discussions with existing and new potential customers could lead to increases in our revenues. To continue to support these and future discussions, we intend to continue to develop and commercialize new products and technical innovations, in particular:

  

	●	a new generation of endoscopes that incorporate patented Lenslock™ technology  and associated custom products for minimally invasive surgery;
	●	new components and instruments utilizing our new patented microprecision™ lens technology for optical components and endoscopes under 1 mm, and in particular, the combination of our microprecision™ lens technology with micro CMOS image sensors to produce single-use, micro-medical cameras; and
	●	new handheld stereo endoscopes that provide high definition 3D images for use in minimally invasive surgery.

    

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 commercializing the applications of these new technologies. These efforts 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 microprecision™ lens products and new Lenslock™ endoscopes. Our research and development efforts have also resulted in the combination of our microprecision™ lens technology with recently introduced micro CMOS image sensors to create single-use, micro-medical cameras with diameters of approximately 1 millimeter, a product which we believe could address customer opportunities in numerous medical applications not possible with currently available optics instrumentation.

 

 

 

During the past year, we developed and began to manufacture a new stereo endoscope with high definition quality imaging and 10 mm diameter for use in general laparoscopic surgery. This next generation 3D endoscope has been evaluated by a number of medical professionals and has been received enthusiastically. We believe that with the advent of commercially available high quality flat panel 3D displays, stereo endoscopy represents an opportunity for significant sales growth for our Company.

 

In April 2012, we accepted an order from a customer to purchase endoscopes for a total purchase amount of $1,032,000. Fabrication of these endoscopes will rely heavily on our microprecision™ small lens technology. The purchase order is contingent upon execution of a supply agreement to specify, among other items, the delivery schedule of the products, and demonstration that the endoscopes meet the customer’s requirements. We are responsible for all testing and validation of the products.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Transactions

 

We currently have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

  

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

 

Our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, including internal control over financial reporting, were not effective as of  March 31, 2012, to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (i) is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our disclosure controls and procedures are intended to be designed to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of March 31, 2012.

 

The following is a description of two material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting:

 

Segregation of Duties: As previously disclosed in our annual reports on Form 10-K for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011, 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.

 

To address and remediate the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described above, beginning with the quarter ended September 30, 2008, we instituted a procedure whereby our Chief Executive Officer and other members of our Board of Directors perform a higher level review of the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and annual reports on 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 assessment of internal control over financial reporting for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, our management has evaluated this additional control and has determined that it is operating effectively.

 

Inventory Valuation: As previously disclosed in our annual reports on Form 10-K for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2009, 2010 and 2011, 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 inconsistent 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. One audit adjustment of approximately $58,000 to our audited financial statements as of June 30, 2011 was 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 March 31, 2012, 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. 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 have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2012, which is covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

    

 

  

 

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

 

Our Company, on occasion, may be involved in legal matters arising in the ordinary course of our business. While management believes that such matters are currently insignificant, matters arising in the ordinary course of business for which we are or could become involved in litigation may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. 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.

 

There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 28, 2011.

 

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

 

On April 30, 2012, we issued 6,000 unregistered shares of our common stock to the designee of Orin Hirschman, as consideration for consulting services, and such shares were valued at $6,600. The Board approved such issuance on February 9, 2012.

 

With respect to the issuance of securities described above, we relied on the Section 4(2) exemption from securities registration under the federal securities laws for transactions not involving any public offering. No advertising or general solicitation was employed in offering the securities. The securities were issued to an accredited investor. The securities were offered for investment purposes only and not for the purpose of resale or distribution, and the transfers thereof were appropriately restricted by us.
