PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

The following information is a summary of the prospectus and it does not contain all of the information you should consider before making an investment decision. You should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the financial statements and the notes relating to the financial statements.

ABOUT US

We incorporated in Massachusetts in December 1982 and have been publicly-owned since November 1990. References to our Company contained herein include our two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Precise Medical, Inc. and Wood’s Precision Optics Corporation, Limited, except where the context otherwise requires. Our fiscal year end is June 30. Our principal executive offices are located at 22 East Broadway, Gardner, Massachusetts 01440-3338. Our telephone number is (978) 630-1800. Our website is www.poci.com. Information contained on our website does not constitute part of this prospectus.

We have been developing and manufacturing advanced optical instruments since 1982. Today, the vast majority of our business is the design and manufacture of high-quality medical devices and approximately 6% of our business is design and manufacture of military and industrial products. Our medical instrumentation line includes traditional endoscopes and endocouplers as well as other custom imaging and illumination products for use in minimally invasive surgical procedures. Much of our recent development efforts have been targeted at the development of next generation endoscopes. For the last ten years, we have funded internal research and development programs to develop next generation capabilities for designing and manufacturing 3D endoscopes and very small Microprecision™ lenses, anticipating future requirements as the surgical community continues to demand smaller and more enhanced imaging systems for minimally invasive surgery. Our unique proprietary technology in these areas, combined with recent developments in the areas of 3D displays and millimeter sized image sensors, has allowed us to begin commercialization of these technologies. We believe that new products based on these technologies provide enhanced imaging for existing surgical procedures and can enable development of many new procedures enabled by the small size and image quality of our camera modules.

THE TRANSACTIONS

Private Placement of Common Stock and Warrants November 2016

On November 22, 2016, we entered into agreements with institutional and accredited investors for the sale and purchase of 1,333,334 units at a per unit price of $0.60, with each unit consisting of one share of our common stock, $0.01 par value and one warrant to purchase one-half of one share of common stock, $0.01 par value, or the November 2016 Warrants. The warrant exercise price for the November 2016 Warrants is variable and depends on our achievement of certain performance criteria (both defined below). We received $800,000 in gross proceeds from the offering. We intend to use the net proceeds from this placement for general working capital purposes.

The warrant exercise price for the November 2016 Warrants will be $0.40 per share if we achieve both of the revenue and income performance criteria, the exercise price will be $0.20 per share if we achieve one of the performance criteria, and the exercise price will be $0.01 if we do not achieve either of the performance criteria. The November 2016 Warrants issued in this offering will vest on October 2, 2017 and expire on October 16, 2017. We are also offering up to 666,667 shares of common stock in the event the November 2016 Warrants are exercised.

Pursuant to the revenue criterion, we must achieve at least $1.85 million of revenue in any one quarter during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2017. Pursuant to the income criterion, we must achieve positive net income in any two quarters, during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2017.

In conjunction with the placement, we also entered into a registration rights agreement with the investors, whereby we are obligated to file a registration statement with the Securities Exchange Commission on or before 90 calendar days after November 22, 2016 to register the resale by the investors of the 1,333,334 shares of the common stock purchased in the placement. Our chairman of the board of directors, Peter H. Woodward, through his company MHW Partners L.P., participated in the November 2016 placement and purchased an aggregate of 156,667 shares of common stock at an aggregate purchase price of $94,000. Additionally, two 5% stockholders, Dolphin Offshore Partners LP and Hershey Strategic Capital LP participated in the November 2016 placement.

The selling stockholders who participated in the November 2016 private placement are as follows:

Name	Common Shares purchased in the November 2016 Offering	Shares that may be issued upon exercise of the November 2016 Warrants	Aggregate Purchase Price
Dolphin Offshore Partners L.P.	916,667	458,334	$550,000

TOTAL	1,333,334	666,667	$800,000

Private Placement of Common Stock and Warrants on September 28, 2012

On September 28, 2012, we closed on agreements with accredited investors for the sale and purchase of units consisting of an aggregate of (i) 2,777,795 shares of our common stock, and (ii) warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,944,475 shares of common stock, at a per unit price of $0.90. Each unit consisted of one share of common stock and 70% warrant coverage. The warrants have an exercise price of $1.25 per share, subject to adjustment and a call provision if certain market price targets are reached, will expire September 28, 2017, and are exercisable in whole or in part, at any time prior to expiration. Certain directors and officers participated in the offering and purchased a total aggregate amount of approximately $80,000 of units in the offering.

We received $2.5 million in gross proceeds from the offering. We retained Loewen, Ondaatje, McCutcheon USA LTD as the exclusive placement agent for the offering. In addition to the payment of certain cash fees upon closing of the offering, we issued a warrant to the placement agent to purchase up to 194,446 shares of common stock on substantially similar terms to the warrants issued in the offering, except that the placement agent warrant has an exercise price of $0.95 per share. We used the net proceeds from the offering to fund start-up costs associated with our previously-announced order for micro endoscopes as well as other orders for new products in addition to working capital needs and for general corporate purposes.

As a result of the issuance of shares of common stock in a private placement in July 2014, certain anti-dilution provisions in the September 28, 2012 warrants were triggered and the number of existing September 28, 2012 warrants increased from 1,944,475 to 2,189,724 and 194,446 to 217,322, respectively, and the related exercise price decreased from $1.25 to $1.11 and from $0.95 to $0.85, respectively.

As a result of the issuance of shares of common stock in a private placement in October 2015, the number of existing September 28, 2012 warrants increased from 2,189,724 to 2,293,013 and 217,322 to 222,559, respectively, and the related exercise price decreased from $1.11 to $1.06 and from $0.85 to $0.83, respectively.

As a result of the issuance of shares of common stock in a private placement in November 22, 2016, the number of existing September 28, 2012 warrants increased from 2,293,013 to 2,503,237 and 222,559 to 240,144, respectively, and the related exercise price decreased from $1.06 to $0.97 and from $0.83 to $0.77, respectively. For purposes of this calculation, we assumed that all November 2016 Warrants were exercised at an exercise price of $0.40 per share.

As the anti-dilution increases in warrant shares from the November 2016 placement have not been previously registered, we are required to register these additional securities. The investors who participated in the 2012 transaction and are named as “Selling Security Holders” in this prospectus are as follows:

	(2)	We retained Loewen, Ondaatje, McCutcheon USA LTD as the exclusive placement agent for the offering. In addition to the payment of certain cash fees upon closing of the offering, we issued a warrant to the placement agent to purchase up to 194,446 shares of common stock on similar terms to the warrants issued in the offering, subject to adjustment. The placement agent warrant has an exercise price of $0.95 per share which has been adjusted to $0.77 per share and may continue to be adjusted downward.

Private Placement of 10% Senior Secured Convertible Notes and Warrants on June 25, 2008

On June 25, 2008, we entered into a purchase agreement, as amended on December 11, 2008, with institutional and other accredited investors pursuant to which we sold a total of $600,000 of 10% Senior Secured Convertible Notes, referred to as the “Notes,” that were convertible into a total of 480,000 shares of our common stock at a conversion rate of $1.25. The Notes held by Special Situations Fund III QP, L.P., Special Situations Private Equity Fund, L.P. and Mr. Schumsky have been satisfied in full and the obligations thereunder have been terminated. We also issued warrants to purchase a total of 316,800 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.75 per share, referred to as the “June 2008 Warrants.” The June 2008 Warrants issued to Special Situations originally expired on June 25, 2015, but were extended by mutual agreement to May 11, 2017. Mr. Schumsky’s June 2008 Warrant expired according to its terms. The exercise price of the June 2008 Warrants has been and may continue to be adjusted downward in the event we issue shares of common stock or securities convertible into common stock at a price lower than the exercise price of the June 2008 Warrants at the time of issuance.

As a result of the issuance of warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock in December 2010 and the September 28, 2012 private placement described above, certain anti-dilution provisions in the June 25, 2008 Warrants were triggered and we are obligated to issue an aggregate of 153,031 additional shares upon the exercise of the June 25, 2008 Warrants. Additionally, the exercise price of the June 25, 2008 Warrants was reduced from $1.74 to $1.18.

As a result of the issuance of shares of common stock in a private placement in July 2014, certain anti-dilution provisions of the June 25, 2008 Warrants were triggered and the number of existing June 25, 2008 warrants increased from 430,678 to 493,398 and the related exercise price of the warrants decreased from $1.18 per share to $1.03 per share.

As a result of the issuance of shares of common stock in a private placement in October 2015, certain anti-dilution provisions of the June 25, 2008 Warrants were triggered and the number of existing June 25, 2008 warrants increased from 493,398 to 517,222 and the related exercise price of the June 25, 2008 Warrants was reduced from $1.03 to $0.98.

As a result of the issuance of shares of common stock in a private placement in November 2016, certain anti-dilution provisions of the June 25, 2008 Warrants were triggered and the number of existing June 25, 2008 warrants increased from 517,222 to 568,776 and the related exercise price of the June 25, 2008 Warrants was reduced from $0.98 to $0.89. For purposes of this calculation, we assumed that all November 2016 Warrants were exercised at an exercise price of $0.40 per share.

As the anti-dilution increases in warrant shares from the November 2016 placement have not been previously registered, we are required to register these additional securities. The selling stockholders that participated in the June 25, 2008 offering and are named as “Selling Security Holders” in this prospectus are as follows:

RISK FACTORS

Risks Related to Our Business

An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Before making an investment decision, you should give careful consideration to the following risk factors, in addition to the other information included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 28, 2016. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected and you may lose some or all of your investment.

We have a history of losses, we expect to continue to incur losses and we may never achieve profitability; and our June 30, 2016 audited consolidated financial statements included disclosure that casts substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.

During the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, we incurred net losses of $1,034,765 and $1,178,793, respectively. Our accumulated deficit at June 30, 2016 amounted to $43,664,275. We had working capital of $518,058 and $592,537 as of June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. During the year ended June 30, 2016, net cash used in operating activities amounted to $876,298. During the quarters ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, we incurred losses of $293,408 and $381,890, respectively. Our accumulated deficit at December 31, 2016 amounted to $44,269,778. We had working capital of $773,189 as of December 31, 2016. Our independent auditors have included a “going concern” qualification in their audit report for the year ended June 30, 2016. We expect to continue incurring losses for the foreseeable future and may never achieve or sustain profitability. We must generate sufficient cash flow or raise additional capital to pursue our product development initiatives, penetrate markets for the sale of our products and continue as a going concern. We cannot provide any assurance that we will raise additional capital. We believe that we have access to capital resources through possible public or private equity offerings, debt financings, corporate collaborations or other means. We may not raise enough capital to meet our needs and we may have to raise additional capital in the future. If we are unable to secure additional capital, we may be required to curtail our research and development initiatives and take additional measures to reduce costs in order to conserve our cash in amounts sufficient to sustain operations and meet our obligations. These measures could cause significant delays in our efforts to further commercialize our products and complete development projects and manufacturing services for our customers, which are critical to the realization of our business plan and to our future operations. These matters raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern or become profitable.

We rely on a small number of customers who may not consistently purchase our products in the future and if we lose any one of these customers, our revenues may decline.

In the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, our two largest customers represented approximately 16% and 12%, respectively, of our total revenues. In the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, our three largest customers represented approximately 23%, 15% and 11%, respectively, of our total revenues. In the quarter ended September 30, 2016, our three largest customers represented approximately, 20%, 18% and 11%, respectively, of our total revenues. In the quarter ended September 30, 2015, our three largest customers represented approximately 21%, 16% and 13%, respectively, of our total revenues. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of our revenues during those periods. At June 30, 2016, our three largest account receivable balances were 19%, 13%, and 10%, respectively, of the total accounts receivable. At June 30, 2015, our four largest account receivable balances were 38%, 13%, 12% and 10%, of the total accounts receivable.

In the future, a small number of customers may continue to represent a significant portion of our total revenues in any given period. These customers may not consistently purchase our products at a particular rate over any subsequent period. A loss of any of these customers could adversely affect our revenues.

We could suffer unrecoverable losses on our customers’ accounts receivable, which would adversely affect our financial results.

At June 30, 2016, our three largest accounts receivable balances were 19%, 13% and 10%, respectively, of the total accounts receivable. While we believe we have a varied customer base and have experienced strong collections in the past, we may experience changes in our customer base, including reductions in purchasing commitments, which could also have a material adverse effect on our revenues and liquidity. We have not purchased insurance on our accounts receivable balances.

We rely heavily upon the talents of our Chief Executive Officer, the loss of whom could damage our business.

Our performance depends to a large extent on a small number of key scientific, technical, managerial and marketing personnel. In particular, we believe our success is highly dependent upon the services and reputation of our Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Joseph N. Forkey. The loss of Dr. Forkey’s services could damage our business. Dr. Forkey provides highly valuable contributions to our capabilities in optical instrument development, in management of new technology and in potentially significant longer-term Company initiatives.

We must continue to be able to attract employees with the scientific and technical skills that our business requires and if we are unable to attract and retain such individuals, our business could be severely damaged.

Our ability to attract employees with a high degree of scientific and technical talent is crucial to the success of our business. There is intense competition for the services of such persons and we cannot guarantee that we will be able to attract and retain individuals possessing the necessary qualifications. If we cannot attract such individuals, we may not be able to produce our products and our business could be damaged.

We are subject to a high degree of regulatory oversight and, if we do not continue to receive the necessary regulatory approvals, our revenues may decline.

The FDA has granted us clearance to market the medical products we currently sell in the United States. However, prior FDA approval may be required before we can market additional medical products that we may develop in the future. We may also seek to sell current or future medical products in a manner that requires us to obtain FDA permission to market such products. We may also require the regulatory approval or license of other federal, state or local agencies or comparable agencies in other countries.

We may lose the FDA’s permission to market our current products or may not obtain the necessary regulatory permission, approvals or licenses for the marketing of any of our future products. Also, we cannot predict the impact on our business of FDA regulations or determinations arising from future legislation or administrative action. If we lose the FDA’s permission to market our current products or we do not obtain regulatory permission to market our future products, our revenues may decline and our business may be harmed.

We face risks inherent in product development and production under fixed-price purchase orders and these purchase orders may not be profitable over time.

A portion of our business has been devoted to research, development and production under fixed-price purchase orders. For our purposes, a fixed-price purchase order is any purchase order under which we will provide products or services for a fixed-price over an extended period of time, usually six months or longer. Fixed-price purchase orders represented approximately 25% to 50% of our total revenues during the last several years. We expect that revenues from fixed-price purchase orders will continue to represent a significant portion of our total revenues in future fiscal years.

Because they involve performance over time, we cannot predict with certainty the expenses involved in meeting our obligations under fixed-price purchase orders. Therefore, we can never be sure at the time we enter into any single fixed-price purchase order that such purchase order will be profitable for us.

Third parties may infringe on our intellectual property and, as a result, we could incur significant expense in protecting our patents or not have sufficient resources to protect them.

We utilize a number of licensed patents that are important to our business. In July 2011, we entered into an asset purchase agreement with Intuitive Surgical Operations, Inc., in which we received $2.5 million in connection with the sale of certain intellectual property. Pursuant to the agreement, we agreed to assign to Intuitive Surgical all of the issued and non-expired patents and pending patent applications we held at the time of the agreement and, in return, Intuitive Surgical agreed to grant to us a royalty-free, worldwide license to these patents in fields outside of medical robotics.

Although we are not currently aware of any past or present infringements of our patents, we plan, jointly with Intuitive Surgical, to protect these patents from infringement and obtain additional patents whenever feasible. To this end, we have obtained confidentiality agreements from our employees and consultants and others who have access to the design of our products and other proprietary information. Protecting and obtaining patents, however, is both time consuming and expensive. We therefore may not have the resources necessary to assert all potential patent infringement claims or pursue all patents that might be available to us. If our competitors or other third parties infringe on our patents, our business may be harmed.

Third parties may claim that we have infringed on their patents and, as a result, we could be prohibited from using all or part of any technology used in our products.

Should third parties claim a proprietary right to all or part of any technology that we use in our products, such a claim, regardless of its merit, could involve us in costly litigation. If successful, such a claim could also result in us being unable to freely use the technology that was the subject of the claim, or sell products embodying such technology. If we engage in litigation, our expenses may increase and our business may be harmed. If we are prohibited from using a particular technology in our products, our revenues may decline and our business may be harmed.

We depend on the availability of certain key supplies and services that are available from only a few sources and if we experience difficulty with a supplier, we may have difficulty finding alternative sources of these supplies or services.

We require certain key supplies to develop and manufacture our products, particularly our precision grade optical glass, which is available from only a few sources, each of which is located outside of the United States. Additionally, we rely on outside vendors to grind and polish certain of our lenses and other optical components, such as prisms and windows. We also rely on a limited number of suppliers for specialized CMOS sensors and the electronic wiring of those sensors. Based upon our ordering experience to date, we believe the materials and services required for the production of our products are currently available in sufficient quantities to meet our needs. Our requirements are small relative to the total supply, and we are not currently encountering problems with availability. However, this does not mean that we will continue to have timely access to adequate supplies of essential materials and services in the future or that supplies of these materials and services will be available on satisfactory terms when the need arises. Our business could be severely damaged if we become unable to procure these essential materials and services in adequate quantities and at acceptable prices.

From time to time, subcontractors may produce some of our products for us, and our business is subject to the risk that these subcontractors fail to make timely delivery. Our products and services are also used as components of the products and services of other manufacturers. We are therefore subject to the risk that manufacturers that integrate our products or services into their own products or services are unable to acquire essential supplies and services from third parties in a timely fashion. If this occurs, we may not be able to deliver our products on a timely basis and our revenues may decline.

Our customers may claim that the products we sold them were defective and if our insurance is not sufficient to cover such a claim, we would be liable for the excess.

Like any manufacturer, we are and always have been exposed to liability claims resulting from the use of our products. We maintain product liability insurance to cover us in the event of liability claims, and as of September 23, 2016, no such claims have been asserted or threatened against us. However, our insurance may not be sufficient to cover all possible future product liabilities.

We would be liable if our business operations harmed the environment and a failure to maintain compliance with environmental laws could severely damage our business.

Our operations are subject to a variety of federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment. From time to time, we use hazardous materials in our operations. Although we believe that we are in compliance with all applicable environmental laws and regulations, our business could be severely damaged by any failure to maintain such compliance.

Our quarterly financial results vary quarter to quarter and depend on many factors. As a result, we cannot predict with a high degree of certainty our operating results in any particular fiscal quarter.

Our quarterly operating results may vary significantly depending upon factors such as:

—	the timing of completion of significant customer orders;

—	the timing and amount of our research and development expenditures;

—	the costs of initial product production in connection with new products;

—	the timing of new product introductions—both by us and by our competitors;

—	the timing and level of market acceptance of new products or enhanced versions of our existing products;

—	our ability to retain existing customers and customers’ continued demand for our products and services;

—	our customers’ inventory levels, and levels of demand for our customers’ products and services; and

—	Competitive pricing pressures.

We may not be able to grow or sustain revenues or achieve or maintain profitability on a quarterly or annual basis and levels of revenue and/or profitability may vary from one such period to another.

Some of our competitors are large, well-financed companies who have research and marketing capabilities that are superior to ours.

The industries in which we operate are highly competitive. Many of our existing and potential competitors have greater financial resources and manufacturing capabilities, more established and larger marketing and sales organizations and larger technical staffs than we have. Other companies, some with greater experience in the optics, semiconductor or medical products industries, are seeking to produce products and services that compete with our products and services.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR STOCK

Trading in our common stock is limited and the price of our common stock may be subject to substantial volatility.

Our common stock is quoted on OTCQB, the OTC market tier for companies that report to the SEC, under the symbol PEYE. We expect our common stock to continue to be quoted on the OTCQB for the foreseeable future. Broker-dealers may decline to trade in OTCQB stocks given the market for such securities is often limited, the stocks are more volatile and the risk to investors is greater. These factors may reduce the potential market for our common stock by reducing the number of potential investors. This may make it more difficult for investors in our common stock to sell shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of their shares. This could cause our stock price to decline.

Additionally, the price of our common stock may be volatile as a result of a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the following:

—	our ability to successfully conceive and to develop new products and services to enhance the performance characteristics and methods of manufacture of existing products;

—	our ability to retain existing customers and customers’ continued demand for our products and services;

—	the timing of our research and development expenditures and of new product introductions;

—	the timing and level of acceptance of new products or enhanced versions of our existing products; and

—	price and volume fluctuations in the stock market at large which do not relate to our operating performance.

“Penny stock” rules may make buying or selling our securities difficult which may make our stock less liquid and make it harder for investors to buy and sell our securities.

Trading in our securities is subject to the SEC’s “penny stock” rules and we anticipate that trading in our securities will continue to be subject to the penny stock rules for the foreseeable future. The SEC has adopted regulations that generally define a penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. These rules require that any broker-dealer who recommends our securities to persons other than prior customers and accredited investors must, prior to the sale, make a special written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to execute the transaction. Unless an exception is available, the regulations require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated with trading in the penny stock market. In addition, broker-dealers must disclose commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities they offer. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by these requirements may discourage broker-dealers from recommending transactions in our securities, which could severely limit the liquidity of our securities and consequently adversely affect the market price for our securities.

We are contractually obligated to issue shares in the future, diluting your interest in us.

As of December 31, 2016, there were 1,134,000 shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options outstanding, at a weighted average exercise price of $0.78 per share. As of September 30, 2016, a total of 823,398 shares of our common stock are reserved for issuance under our 2011 Equity Incentive Plan. As of September 30, 2016, there are also warrants outstanding for the issuance of an aggregate of an additional 3,032,794 shares of our common stock, at a weighted average exercise price of $1.03 per share. Moreover, we expect to issue additional shares and options to purchase shares of our common stock to compensate employees, consultants and directors, and we may issue additional shares to raise capital. Any such issuances will have the effect of further diluting the interest of the holders of our securities.

RISKS RELATED TO THE OFFERING

We will have broad discretion in how we use the proceeds, and we may use the proceeds in ways in which stockholders may disagree.

This prospectus relates to shares of our common stock and shares issuable upon exercise of warrants to purchase shares of our common stock that may be offered and sold from time to time by certain selling stockholders. We will not receive proceeds from the sale or other disposition of shares of common stock being sold by our selling stockholders. However, we may receive proceeds from the exercise of warrants. We cannot predict when or if the warrants will be exercised. It is possible that the warrants may expire and may never be exercised. If we receive proceeds from the exercise of warrants, we intend to use the proceeds for working capital. Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds from this offering and could spend the proceeds in ways that do not improve our results of operations or enhance the value of our common stock. The failure by management to apply these funds effectively could result in financial losses that could have a material adverse effect on our business or cause the price of our common stock to decline.

The market price of our common stock may be volatile, and the value of stockholders’ investment could decline significantly.

The trading price for our common stock has been, and we expect it to continue to be, volatile. The price at which our common stock trades depends upon a number of factors, including our historical and anticipated operating results, our financial situation, announcements of new products by us or our competitors, our ability or inability to raise the additional capital we may need and the terms on which we raise it, and general market and economic conditions. Some of these factors are beyond our control. Broad market fluctuations may lower the market price of our common stock and affect the volume of trading in our stock, regardless of our financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects. It is impossible to assure you that the market price of our shares of common stock will not fall in the future.

Our stockholders will experience dilution in the value of their investment as a result of this offering and may experience additional dilution in the future.

Our stockholders incurred immediate and substantial dilution as a result of this offering. In the event investors exercise some or all of the warrants issued in this offering, stockholders will experience further dilution, however, we cannot predict if or when the warrants will be exercised.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus 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 reasons described in our “Risk Factors” section. 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 prospectus to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in our expectations, except as required by law.

USE OF PROCEEDS

This prospectus relates to shares of our common stock that may be offered and sold from time to time by certain selling stockholders. We will not receive proceeds from the sale or other disposition of shares of common stock being sold by our selling stockholders. However, we may receive proceeds from the exercise of warrants. We cannot predict when or if the warrants will be exercised. It is possible that the warrants may expire and may never be exercised. If we receive proceeds from the exercise of warrants, we intend to use the proceeds for working capital.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE COMPANY

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Overview

We have been developing and manufacturing advanced optical instruments since 1982. Today, the vast majority of our business is the design and manufacture of high-quality medical devices and approximately 6% of our business is the design and manufacture of military and industrial products. Our medical instrumentation line includes traditional endoscopes and endocouplers as well as other custom imaging and illumination products for use in minimally invasive surgical procedures. Much of our recent development efforts have been targeted at the development of next generation endoscopes. For the last ten years, we have funded internal research and development programs to develop next generation capabilities for designing and manufacturing 3D endoscopes and very small Microprecision™ lenses, anticipating future requirements as the surgical community continues to demand smaller and more enhanced imaging systems for minimally invasive surgery. Our unique proprietary technology in these areas, combined with recent developments in the areas of 3D displays and millimeter sized image sensors, has allowed us to begin commercialization of these technologies. We believe that new products based on these technologies provide enhanced imaging for existing surgical procedures and can enable development of many new procedures.

We believe that our future success depends to a large degree on our ability 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 and obtain product-related design and development contracts with customers and to selectively invest our own funds on research and development, particularly in the areas of Microprecision™ optics, micro medical cameras and 3D endoscopes.

For the year ended June 30, 2016, approximately 62% of our sales were made to seven customers. Of these, three are large, international, medical device companies who have been our customers for many years. These three customers continue to purchase products that we developed over five years ago, and both now purchase new products that were developed and launched into production by us more recently. The other four top customers purchase products that we developed in recent years, and which rely heavily on our unique, proprietary Microprecision™ lens technology and optical visualization system expertise.

Current sales and marketing activities are intended to broaden awareness of the benefits of our new technology platforms, which we believe are ready for general application to medical device projects requiring surgery-grade visualization from sub-millimeter sized devices and 3D endoscopy. We market directly to established medical device companies primarily in the United States that we believe could benefit from our advanced endoscopy visualization systems. Through this direct marketing, referrals, attendance at trade shows and a presence in online professional association websites, we have expanded our on-going pipeline of projects to significant medical device companies as well as well-funded emerging technology companies. We expect our customer pipeline to continue to expand as development projects transition to production orders and new customer projects enter the development phase.

History

We incorporated in Massachusetts in December 1982 and have been publicly-owned since November 1990. References to our Company contained herein include our two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Precise Medical, Inc. and Wood’s Precision Optics Corporation, Limited, except where the context otherwise requires. Our website is www.poci.com. Information contained on our website does not constitute part of this report.

Principal Products and Services

Our Current Core Business: Since 1982, we have manufactured medical products such as endoscopes and endocouplers. We have developed and sold endoscopes incorporating various optical technologies including our proprietary Lenslock™ technology, for use in a variety of minimally invasive surgical and diagnostic procedures. Today, we produce endoscopes for various applications, which are CE marked and therefore certified for sale throughout the European Economic Area. Since 1985, we have developed, manufactured and sold a proprietary product line of endocouplers. We also design and manufacture custom optical medical devices to satisfy our customers’ specific requirements. In addition to medical devices, we also manufacture and sell components and assemblies specially designed for industrial and military use.

Microprecision™ Lenses and Micro Medical Cameras: While the size of endoscopes has gradually decreased over time, the widespread use of very small endoscopes, with diameters of one millimeter or smaller, has been limited, in part, we believe, by the inability of traditional lens fabrication methods to support these smaller sizes with good image quality and acceptable manufacturing costs. We believe our Microprecision™ optics technology provides a solution to this problem. Combined with recent advances by other companies in complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor, or CMOS, image sensor fabrication techniques, our Microprecision™ lenses and proprietary manufacturing techniques enable the manufacture of micro medical cameras at low prices and with sizes on the order of one millimeter or less, characteristics that make them well suited to medical applications.

In June 2015 we announced a partnership with OmniVision Technologies, Inc, and Fujikura, Ltd., in which we jointly developed a CMOS based camera module with a diameter of only 1.6 mm and 400 x 400 pixel resolution, representing superior image quality for camera modules of its size. OmniVision supplied the CMOS sensor, Fujikura provided flexible printed circuit technology and we designed and fabricated the micro-optics and assembled them to the CMOS sensor to form the camera module. This camera module is well suited for many different medical device applications requiring small size and superior image quality.

We are currently engaged in development projects with our customers to design and produce even smaller CMOS based camera modules together with customized illumination using various technologies to match the needs of the medical device endoscopes. We are also currently designing disposable versions of our camera modules and assemblies designed for single-use and reduced risk of contamination from repeated use. We believe these on-going improvements are significant to the continued evolution and acceptance of our Microprecision™ technology platform.

We have been engaged by various customers for an increasing amount of development work relating to the design of endoscopes and camera assemblies that utilize our Microprecision™ technology. We have a limited amount of production orders for these designed products, but believe such orders will increase in the future as a result of this development work.

3D Endoscopes: Our 3D endoscopes provide next generation optical imaging for minimally invasive surgical procedures that utilize hand-held rigid endoscopes by using the brain’s natural ability to perceive depth, which is the third dimension, by viewing one’s environment through two eyes. Utilizing our proprietary technology to provide independent images to right and left eyes, surgeons can view the operative field with 3D perception.

Market Opportunities

Microprecision™ lenses and Micro Medical Cameras: While other approaches exist for the manufacture of camera lenses, we believe that no lens on the market today has the combination of low cost, small size, range of optical specifications and high image quality required for many medical applications that our lenses have. By enabling the production of millimeter sized and smaller cameras with low manufacturing costs, we believe our Microprecision^™ technology opens the possibility to replace existing re-sterilizable endoscopes with a single-use alternative. Also, the small size of our Microprecision™ lenses and micro medical cameras can provide visualization for existing procedures that are currently performed blind or with sub-optimal imaging, and we believe can facilitate the development of new surgical procedures that are currently impractical without sub-millimeter visualization instrumentation.

3D Endoscopes: 3D endoscopes have been used for many years as part of robotic surgery systems partly because the market price of robotic surgery systems is high enough to support the cost of a high quality custom 3D display. However, we believe the use of 3D endoscopes in hand-held, non-robotic systems has been limited in the past by the high cost of good quality 3D display systems. Recently, the cost of high quality 3D display systems has dropped dramatically, driven by demand in the consumer market. Now, low cost, high quality 3D display systems, such as 3D televisions, are newly available in the market, which we believe enables the development of 3D hand-held endoscopy and creates a new market opportunity for our 3D endoscopes. To take advantage of this developing market, we have designed and built a high definition 3D endoscope for use in hand-held 3D endoscopy systems.

Competition and Markets

We sell our products in a highly competitive market and we compete for business with both foreign and domestic manufacturers. Many of our current competitors are larger than us and have substantially greater resources than we do. In addition, there is an ongoing risk that other domestic or foreign companies who do not currently service or manufacture products for our target markets, some with greater experience in the optics industry and greater financial resources than we have, may seek to produce products or services that compete directly with ours.

While our resources are substantially more limited than those of some of our competitors, we believe that we can compete successfully in this market on the basis of product quality, price, delivery and innovation. Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to maintain a technological advantage over our competitors. To this end, we intend to continue to aggressively support and augment our internal engineering, research and development resources and to aggressively pursue patent protection for existing and new technology. We believe that our unique technical capabilities in the areas of Microprecision™ optics, micro medical cameras and illumination, as well as 3D endoscopes currently represent competitive advantages for us in the minimally invasive surgical device market.

Market Opportunities

Microprecision™ lenses and Micro Medical Cameras: While other approaches exist for the manufacture of camera lenses, we believe that no lens on the market today has the combination of low cost, small size, range of optical specifications and high image quality required for many medical applications that our lenses have. By enabling the production of millimeter sized and smaller cameras with low manufacturing costs, we believe our Microprecision ^™ technology opens the possibility to replace existing re-sterilizable endoscopes with a single-use alternative. Also, the small size of our Microprecision™ lenses and micro medical cameras combined with our proprietary illumination techniques can provide visualization for existing procedures that are currently performed blind or with sub-optimal imaging, and we believe can facilitate the development of new surgical procedures that are currently impractical without sub-millimeter visualization instrumentation.

3D Endoscopes and Robotic Surgery Systems: 3D endoscopes have been used for many years as part of robotic surgery systems partly because the market price of robotic surgery systems is high enough to support the cost of a high quality custom 3D display. Competition amongst medical device companies, many of which are our customers for other products, in the area of 3D robotic surgery systems is increasing, and various companies are now pursuing less expensive, procedure specific robotic systems. We believe our experience and expertise in 3D endoscopes for medical applications could be a benefit to various companies in this area that could provide us with new product development and manufacturing opportunities.

We also believe the use of 3D endoscopes in hand-held, non-robotic systems has been limited in the past by the high cost of good quality 3D display systems. Recently, the cost of high quality 3D display systems has dropped dramatically, driven by demand in the consumer market. Now, low cost, high quality 3D display systems, such as 3D televisions, are newly available in the market, which we believe could enable the development of 3D hand-held endoscopy and create new market opportunity for our 3D endoscopes. We have designed and built a high definition 3D endoscope for use in hand-held 3D endoscopy systems which could be used as a foundation in future hand-held 3D endoscope projects.

Sales and Marketing

We market our 3D endoscopes, Microprecision™ optical components and micro medical cameras by leveraging our existing relationships with major medical device companies – many of whom are current customers. We intend to make our existing and future technologies available to our customers for use in their current and newly developed minimally invasive surgical products and to eventually develop and market our own proprietary products, which incorporate these new technologies. In addition to direct sales channels through our existing customer relationships, we also develop new sales opportunities through our website, email mailings, membership in Photonics Online web-based professional organization, and attendance at market specific tradeshows.

International Business

We have had negligible direct export sales to date. However, our medical products have received the CE mark certification, which permits sales into the European Economic Area. In the future, we may establish or use additional production facilities overseas to produce key components for our business, such as lenses. Since the 1990s, we have maintained a presence in Asia to support business and quality control activities throughout the region as needed. We believe that the cost savings from such overseas production may be essential to our ability to compete on a price basis in the medical products area particularly and to our profitability generally.

Research and Development

We believe that our future success depends to a large degree on our ability to continue to conceive and develop new optical products and technologies to enhance the performance characteristics and methods of manufacture of existing and new products. Research and development expenses are incurred on our own proprietary products and technology such as Microprecision™ optics, micro medical cameras and 3D endoscopes, as well as on certain custom projects on behalf of our customers. Accordingly, we expect to continue to seek to obtain product-related design and development contracts with customers and to invest our own funds in research and development. For the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, research and development expenses, net amounted to $478,267 and $492,937, respectively. For the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, research and development expenses were net of reimbursement from customers of $0 and $23,404, respectively.

Raw Materials and Principal Suppliers

A key raw material component for our products is precision grade optical glass, which we obtain from a few suppliers, principally SCHOTT North America, Inc. and Ohara Corporation.

For optical thin film coatings, the basic raw materials we have utilized are metals and dielectric compounds, which we obtained from a variety of chemical suppliers. However, as of June 2016 all of our thin film coatings are performed by outside suppliers. We believe that our demand for thin film coating services is small relative to the total supply and that the services required for the production of our products are currently available in sufficient production quantities and will remain available for at least the next twelve months.

We obtain CMOS sensors used in our development of endoscope products for our customers from various suppliers including OmniVision Technologies, Inc., and AWAIBA Lda. We believe that while the number of sources of supply is limited for the CMOS sensors with the specifications used in medical device endoscopes we develop, the manufacturing capacities of those suppliers is adequate to meet our demand in the next twelve months. Likewise, a limited number of suppliers provide CMOS electronic cabling services for the smallest sensors, such as FujiKura, Ltd and NET USA, Inc. However, we believe our demand for these services is relatively small compared to these companies’ and others’ capacities for CMOS sensor electronic cabling services.

Patents and Trademarks

We rely, in part, upon patents, trade secrets and proprietary knowledge as well as personnel policies and employee confidentiality agreements concerning inventions and other creative efforts to develop and maintain our competitive position. We plan to file for patents, copyrights and trademarks in the United States and in other appropriate countries to protect our intellectual property rights to the greatest extent practicable. We currently hold rights to thirteen United States patents, and have four patent applications pending, including applications for our new generation of micro medical cameras and 3D endoscopes. Our current patent portfolio includes patents, rights to patents and patent applications that cover various aspects of our technology in the following areas:

—

Medical devices: 6 issued

—

3-D endoscopes: 3 issued, 2 pending

—

Microprecision™ lenses and micro medical cameras: 3 issued, 2 pending

—

Military products: 1 issued

The patents contained in our current patent portfolio have expiration dates ranging from December 2016 to May 2036. We are not aware of any infringements of these patents. While we believe that our pending applications relate to patentable devices or concepts, these patents may not ultimately be issued and we may not be able to successfully defend these patents or effectively limit the development of competitive products and services.

In July 2011, we entered into an asset purchase agreement with Intuitive Surgical Operations, Inc., in which we received $2.5 million in connection with the sale of certain intellectual property. Pursuant to the agreement, we agreed to assign to Intuitive Surgical all of the issued and non-expired patents and pending patent applications that we held on the date of the agreement, and in return, Intuitive Surgical agreed to grant to us a royalty-free, worldwide license to these patents in fields outside of medical robotics.

We intend to continue to innovate and extend our technological capabilities in the areas of 3-D endoscopy Microprecision™ optics, micro medical cameras, and related illumination techniques, and to aggressively pursue patent protection for such developments.

Employees

As of September 30, 2016, we had 33 employees, 31 of which were full-time employees. There were 21 employees in manufacturing, 6 in engineering/research and development, 1 in sales and marketing and 5 in finance and administration. We are not a party to any collective bargaining agreements. We believe our relations with our employees are very good.

Customers

Revenues from our largest customers, as a percentage of total revenues, for fiscal years 2016 and 2015 were as follows:

	2016		2015
Customer A		16%		23%
Customer B		12		11
Customer C		1		15
All Others		71		51
		100%		100%

No other customer accounted for more than 10% of our revenues in fiscal years 2016 and 2015. At June 30, 2016, our three largest customer account receivable balances were 19%, 13% and 10%, respectively, of total accounts receivable. At June 30, 2015, our four largest account receivable balances were 38%, 13%, 12% and 10% of the total accounts receivable. No other accounts accounted for more than 10% of accounts receivable at June, 30, 2016 or 2015.

Environmental Matters

Our operations are subject to a variety of federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relative to the protection of the environment. From time to time, we use a small amount of hazardous materials in our operations. We believe that we currently comply with all applicable environmental laws and regulations and intend to do our best efforts to remain in compliance.

Government Regulations

Domestic Regulation. We currently develop, manufacture and sell several medical products, the marketing of which is subject to governmental regulation in the United States. Medical devices are regulated in the United States by the Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, and, in some cases, by certain state agencies. The FDA regulates the research, testing, manufacture, safety, effectiveness, labeling, promotion and distribution of medical devices in the United States. Generally, medical devices require clearance or approval prior to commercial distribution. Additionally, certain material changes to, and changes in intended uses of, medical devices are also subject to FDA review and clearance or approval. Non-compliance with applicable requirements can result in failure of the FDA to grant pre-market clearance or approval, withdrawal or suspension of approval, suspension of production, or the imposition of various other penalties.

We previously notified the FDA of our intent to market our endoscopes, image couplers, beamsplitters, adapters and video ophthalmoscopes, and the FDA has determined that we may market such devices, subject to the general control provisions of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. We obtained this FDA permission without the need to undergo a lengthy and expensive approval process due to the FDA’s determination that such devices met the regulatory standard of being substantially equivalent to existing FDA-approved devices.

In the future, we plan to market additional medical devices that may require the FDA’s permission to market such products. We may also develop additional products or seek to sell some of our current or future medical products in a manner that requires us to obtain the permission of the FDA to market such products, as well as the regulatory approval or license of other federal, state and local agencies or similar agencies in other countries. The FDA has authority to conduct detailed inspections of manufacturing plants in order to assure that “good manufacturing practices” are being followed in the manufacture of medical devices, to require periodic reporting of product defects to the FDA and to prohibit the sale of devices, which do not comply with law.

Foreign Requirements. Sales of medical device products outside the United States are subject to foreign regulatory requirements that may vary from country to country. Our failure to comply with foreign regulatory requirements would jeopardize our ability to market and sell our products in foreign jurisdictions. The regulatory environment in the European Union member countries of the European Economic Area for medical device products differs from that in the United States. Medical devices sold in the European Economic Area must bear the Conformité Européenne, or CE mark. Devices are classified by manufacturers according to the risks they represent, with a classification of Class III representing the highest risk devices and Class I representing the lowest risk devices. Once a device has been classified, the manufacturer can follow one of a series of conformity assessment routes, typically through a registered quality system, and demonstrate compliance to a “European Notified Body.” The CE mark may then be applied to the device. Maintenance of the system is ensured through annual on-site audits by the notified body and a post-market surveillance system requiring the manufacturer to submit serious complaints to the appropriate governmental authority. All of our medical products are manufactured in conformity with the CE mark requirements.

DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

We conduct our domestic operations at two facilities in Gardner, Massachusetts. The main Gardner facility is leased from a corporation owned by Mr. Richard E. Forkey, who resigned from our board of directors on July 9, 2014. We are currently a tenant-at-will, paying rent of $9,000 per month. We rent the other Gardner facility on a month-to-month basis.

We believe these facilities are adequate for our current operations and are adequately covered by insurance. Significant increases in production or the addition of significant equipment additions or manufacturing capabilities in connection with the production of our line of endoscopes and other products may, however, require the acquisition or lease of additional facilities. We may establish production facilities domestically or overseas to produce key assemblies or components, such as lenses, for our products. Overseas facilities may subject us to the political and economic risks associated with overseas operations. The loss of or inability to establish or maintain such additional domestic or overseas facilities could materially adversely affect our competitive position and profitability.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We may be involved in legal matters arising in the ordinary course of our business. 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.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

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 prospectus and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, including our unaudited consolidated financial statements for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2016 included in our Quarterly Report, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 14, 2017, and our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2016 included in our Annual Report, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 28, 2016. This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains descriptions of our expectations regarding future trends affecting our business. The following discussion sets forth certain factors we believe could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our critical accounting policies are included in the Notes to our Financial Statements.

Results of Operations for the Quarter and Six Months Ended December 31, 2016 as Compared to the Quarter and Six Months Ended December 31, 2015

Our total revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2016, the second quarter of our fiscal year 2017, were $601,590, as compared to $954,772 for the same period in the prior year, a decrease of $353,182, or 37.0%. Revenues decreased during the quarter ended December 31, 2016 in both the engineering and production categories. Engineering service revenue decreased 39%, primarily due to the transition to production of one project and completion of initial phases of another customer’s project which is expected to continue in the future. Production category revenues decreased in both the traditional and new technology groups, primarily due to the loss of a subassembly customer project utilizing Microprecision™ technology, and cyclical declines in a traditional laryngoscope and an advanced surgical visualization product.

Our total revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2016 were $1,451,138, as compared to $1,813,199 for the same period in the prior year, a decrease of $362,061, or 20.0%. The decrease in revenues for the six month period was primarily due to a decrease in production revenues while engineering service revenue slightly increased during the six month period ended December 31, 2016. Production revenues decreased due to the loss of a customer’s Microprecision™ technology product and cyclical declines in traditional laryngoscopes, partially offset by an increase in the advanced surgical visualization product. We believe that our pipeline of engineering and production project opportunities, as well as on-going product production demand from our customers, will return quarterly revenues to the higher levels achieved in recent quarters.

Gross profit for the quarter ended December 31, 2016 was $148,407, as compared to $217,022 for the same period in the prior year, which reflects a decrease of $68,615. Gross profit for the quarter ended December 31, 2016 as a percentage of our revenues was 24.7%, an increase from the gross profit percentage of 22.7% for the same period in the prior year. Gross profit for the six months ended December 31, 2016 was $315,458, as compared to $349,360 for the same period in the prior year, which reflects a decrease of $33,902. Gross profit for the six months ended December 31, 2016 as a percentage of our revenues was 21.7%, an increase from the gross profit percentage of 19.3% for the same period in the prior year. The increase in our gross profit percentage in the most recent quarter and six months was due primarily to increased margins realized from production of three traditional products comprising 43% of production revenue during the six months ended December 31, 2016, plus the reduction in fixed production costs realized from the shut-down of our film coating department in early fiscal 2017. Comparative margins also improved in fiscal 2017 due to the elimination of manufacturing inefficiencies and reduced margins in fiscal 2016 from the subassembly product referenced above that is no longer produced by us. Further, our quarterly gross profit and gross profit percentage depend on a number of factors, including overall sales volume, the mix of products sold, and the costs of initial production in connection with new products. We believe our margins will increase further as periodic sales revenues increase.

Research and development expenses were $119,215 for the quarter ended December 31, 2016, compared to $108,146 for the same period in the prior year, an increase of $11,069, or 10.2%. The increase in the quarter ended December 31, 2016 compared to same period in the prior year was primarily due to the decrease in our engineering services revenue. As a result of decreases in engineering revenue, a smaller portion of our fixed engineering cost is included in cost of goods sold and remains in research and development expenses. Research and development expenses were $236,207 for the six months ended December 31, 2016, compared to $258,914 for the same period in the prior year, a decrease of $22,707, or 8.8%. The decrease in the six month period ended December 31, 2016 compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to higher engineering service revenue in the current period, partially offset by higher stock-based compensation expenses during the six months ended December 31, 2015.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $342,487 for the quarter ended December 31, 2016, compared to $407,088 for the same period in the prior year, a decrease of $64,601, or 15.9 %. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $686,269 for the six months ended December 31, 2016, compared to $772,114 for the same period in the prior year, a decrease of $85,845, or 11.1%. The decrease in the quarter and six month periods ended December 31, 2016 compared to the same periods in the prior year was primarily due to reduced consulting, travel and advertising expenses, partially offset by higher stock-based compensation expense.

No income tax provision was recorded in the first and second quarters of fiscal year 2017 or 2016 because of the losses generated in those periods.

Results of Operations for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2016 as Compared to the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2015

Total revenues for fiscal year 2016 were $3,916,702, an increase of $4,642 from revenues for fiscal year 2015 of $3,912,060. Although revenues were flat from 2015 to 2016, revenues from fiberscopes and laryngoscopes decreased in fiscal 2016 by an amount representing 25% of fiscal 2016 revenues, while revenues from engineering services for new customer projects increased by an amount representing 20% of fiscal year 2016 revenues. We believe the decrease in fiberscope and laryngoscope revenues is not permanent and that future revenues from these products will partially recover in future periods. Increasing engineering service revenue represents a growing number of new customer projects and an expanding pipeline of customer projects with the potential for future increasing product manufacturing revenues as some of these products enter commercialization by our customers.

Revenues from our largest customers, as a percentage of total revenues, were as follows:

	Year Ended June 30
	2016		2015
Customer A		16%		23%
Customer B		12		15
Customer C		1		11
All others		71		51
		100%		100%

No other customer accounted for more than 10% of our revenues in fiscal years 2016 and 2015.

Gross profit for fiscal year 2016 of $942,021 reflected an increase of $143,750, or 18.0% as compared to gross profit for fiscal year 2015 of $798,271. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues for fiscal year 2016 was 24.1% as compared to gross profit as a percentage of revenues for fiscal year 2015 of 20.4%. The increase in gross margins in fiscal 2016 while sales were flat between the years was due primarily to the reduced cost of manufacturing inefficiencies such as scrap and labor over-runs experienced in fiscal 2015. Our gross profit margins depend on a number of factors, including overall sales volume, the mix of products sold and services performed, and the costs of initial production in connection with new products, technologies and manufacturing techniques. We believe that as we have gained experience in manufacturing products based on the new Microprecision™ technologies, we have become more efficient in manufacturing, causing margins to rise. We also expect that as revenues increase beyond breakeven the absorption of fixed manufacturing costs will also cause gross profit percentages to increase from their current levels.

Research and development expenses, net were $478,267 for fiscal year 2016 as compared to $492,937 for fiscal year 2015. The decrease of $14,670, or 2.9%, in the fiscal year 2016 compared to fiscal year 2015 was primarily due to the increase in our engineering services revenue in fiscal 2016. As a result of increases in such revenue, a greater portion of our fixed engineering cost is included in cost of goods sold. Quarterly research and development expenses depend on our assessment of new product opportunities and available resources. Research and development expenses were net of reimbursement from customers of $0 during 2016 and $23,404 during 2015. The decrease in reimbursements from customers is due to our efforts to successfully transition internal research and development projects that were partially offset by customer reimbursements into contractual engineering service engagements with customers that are reflected as revenues and related costs of goods sold in the accompanying financial statements.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $6,433, or 0.4 %, to $1,551,895 for fiscal year 2016 as compared to $1,545,462 for fiscal year 2015. The net decrease for fiscal year 2016 was primarily due to curtailment of operations of our Hong Kong subsidiary, reduction of advertising expenses, and the statutory reduction in medical excise tax, offset by higher sales consulting and stock based compensation expenses.

The gain on sale of assets in fiscal years 2016 and 2015 of $32,707 and $27,075, respectively, represents primarily the sale of previously written off assets for proceeds of $32,707 and $27,075, respectively.

Other income in the amount of $22,050 and $35,172 for fiscal years 2016 and 2015, respectively, represent non-cash gains equal to the difference between the recorded amount of certain consulting service liabilities and the value of common stock issued as payment for such liabilities.

The income tax provisions in fiscal years 2016 and 2015 represent the minimum statutory state income tax liability.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have sustained recurring net losses for several years. During the quarter and six month periods ended December 31, 2016, we incurred net losses of $312,095 and $605,503, respectively, and used cash in operating activities of $279,441 during the six month period ended December 31, 2016. As of December 31, 2016, cash and cash equivalents were $516,578, accounts receivable were $442,087, and current liabilities were $1,377,411. We also incurred net losses of $281,310 and $663,200 during the quarter and six month periods ended December 31, 2015, and during the six month period ended December 31, 2015, we used cash in operating activities of $524,931. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, we incurred a net loss from operations of $1,055,434 and used cash in operating activities of $876,298. As of June 30, 2016, cash and cash equivalents were $50,059, accounts receivable were $750,380, and current liabilities were $1,503,961.

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 or convertible notes. We have incurred quarter to quarter operating losses during our efforts to develop current products including Microprecision™ optical elements, micro medical camera assemblies and 3D endoscopes. Our management believes that the opportunities represented by these products have the potential to generate sales increases to achieve breakeven and profitable results.

Until we achieve and sustain breakeven and profitable results, 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 current 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 are unable to secure additional capital, we may be required to curtail our research and development initiatives and take additional measures to reduce costs in order to conserve our cash in amounts sufficient to sustain operations and meet our obligations. If we cannot raise funds on acceptable terms or achieve positive cash flow, we may not be able to continue to develop new products, grow market share, take advantage of future opportunities or respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated requirements, any of which could negatively impact our business, operating results and financial condition, or impact our ability to continue to conduct operations as a going concern.

On November 22, 2016, we closed agreements with institutional and accredited investors for the sale and purchase of 1,333,334 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $0.60 per share (see Note 5. Sale of Stock). We received $780,000 in gross cash proceeds from the offering. We are using the net proceeds from this placement for general working capital purposes.

Capital equipment expenditures during the six months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were $25,843 and $4,372, respectively. Future capital equipment expenditures will be dependent upon future sales and success of on-going research and development efforts.

We have contractual cash commitments related to open purchase orders as of December 31, 2016 of approximately $202,000, including a $41,001 commitment remaining under a five-year capital lease obligation for the acquisition of equipment (see Note 3. Capital Lease Obligation). We have no other contractual cash commitments since leased facilities are currently on a month-to-month basis.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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.

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 second quarter and six months of the Company’s fiscal year 2017. 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, 2016 together with the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm filed under cover of the Company’s 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 28, 2016.

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 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. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the effect of such securities was antidilutive and not included in the diluted calculation because of the net loss generated in these periods.

The following is the calculation of loss per share for the three and six months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015:

	Three Months Ended December 31						Six Months Ended December 31
	2016			2015			2016			2015
Net Income (Loss) – Basic and Diluted	$	(312,095	)	$	(281,310	)	$	(605,503	)	$	(663,200	)

Basic Weighted Average Shares Outstanding		8,104,800			7,230,169			7,822,191			6,809,988
Potentially Dilutive Securities		–			–			–			–
Diluted Weighted Average Shares Outstanding		8,104,800			7,230,169			7,822,191			6,809,988

Loss Per Share
Basic	$	(0.04	)	$	(0.04	)	$	(0.08	)	$	(0.10	)
Diluted	$	(0.04	)	$	(0.04	)	$	(0.08	)	$	(0.10	)

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 5,113,224 and 4,478,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and approximately 5,113,224 and 4,478,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

F-5

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.

5.	SALE OF STOCK

November 2016

On November 22, 2016, the Company entered into agreements with accredited investors for the sale and purchase of 1,333,334 units with each unit consisting of one share of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value and one warrant to purchase one-half of one share of the Company’s common stock, at a purchase price of $0.60 per unit. The Company received $780,000 in gross cash proceeds from the offering and settled an outstanding accounts payable balance with a consultant in the amount of $20,000 by issuing units. The Company is using the net proceeds from this placement for general working capital purposes.

The warrants issued in this offering will vest on October 2, 2017 and expire on October 16, 2017. The warrant exercise price is variable and depends on the Company’s achievement of certain performance criteria (both defined below). The warrant exercise price will be $0.40 per share if the Company achieves both of the revenue and income performance criteria, the exercise price will be $0.20 per share if the Company achieves one of the performance criteria, and the exercise price will be $0.01 if the Company does not achieve either of the performance criteria.

Pursuant to the revenue criterion, the Company must achieve at least $1.85 million of revenue in any one quarter during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2017. Pursuant to the income criterion, the Company must achieve positive net income in any two quarters during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2017. Both criteria will be determined under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and by the Company’s audited consolidated annual financial statements and the Company’s quarterly financial statements.

F-7

In conjunction with the offering, the Company also entered into a registration rights agreement with the investors, whereby the Company was obligated to file a registration statement with the Securities Exchange Commission on or before 90 calendar days after November 22, 2016 to register the resale by the investors of the 1,333,334 shares and warrant shares purchased in the offering. The registration statement was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 3, 2017.

In conjunction with the offering, certain anti-dilution provisions of the warrants issued in conjunction with our June 25, 2008 and September 28, 2012 financing transactions were triggered. For purposes of this calculation, all warrants issued in this offering are assumed to be exercised at an exercise price of $0.40. As a result, the number of existing June 25, 2008 warrants increased from 517,222 to 568,776 and the related exercise price of the warrants decreased from $0.98 to $0.89 per share. Also, as a result of the offering, the number of existing September 28, 2012 warrants increased from 2,293,013 to 2,503,237 and 222,559 to 240,144, respectively, and the related exercise price decreased from $1.06 to $0.97 and from $0.83 to $0.77, respectively.

October 2015

On October 19, 2015, the Company entered into agreements with accredited investors for the sale and purchase of 1,044,776 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value at a purchase price of $0.67 per share. The Company received $700,000 in gross proceeds from the offering. The Company used the net proceeds from this placement for general working capital purposes.

In conjunction with the placement, the Company also entered into a registration rights agreement with the investors, whereby the Company was obligated to file a registration statement with the Securities Exchange Commission on or before 90 calendar days after October 19, 2015 to register the resale by the investors of the 1,044,776 shares of the Company’s common stock purchased in the placement. The registration statement was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 19, 2016 and became effective on February 1, 2016.

In conjunction with the offering, certain anti-dilution provisions of the warrants issued in conjunction with the Company’s June 25, 2008 and September 28, 2012 financing transactions were triggered. As a result, the number of existing June 25, 2008 warrants increased from 493,398 to 517,222 and the related exercise price of the warrants decreased from $1.03 to $0.98 per share. Also, as a result of the offering, the number of existing September 28, 2012 warrants increased from 2,189,724 to 2,293,013 and 217,322 to 222,559, respectively, and the related exercise price decreased from $1.11 to $1.06 and from $0.85 to $0.83, respectively.

6.	SALE OF ASSETS

During the six months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company sold equipment that was previously written off for proceeds totaling $1,515 and $18,468, respectively, and recorded gains of $1,515 and $18,468, respectively, which are included within operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Precision Optics Corporation, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Precision Optics Corporation, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of June 30, 2016 and 2015 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal controls over financial reporting. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Precision Optics Corporation, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2016 and 2015 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring net losses and negative cash flows from operations, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning these matters are described in Note 1. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

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. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Until the Company achieves breakeven and profitable results, the Company 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, if converted into common stock, would result in additional dilution to the Company’s current stockholders, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants that could restrict our operations or finances and encumber the Company’s assets. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. If the Company is unable to secure additional capital, it may be required to curtail our research and development initiatives and take additional measures to reduce costs in order to conserve our cash in amounts sufficient to sustain operations and meet our obligations. If the Company cannot raise funds on acceptable terms or achieve positive cash flow, it may not be able to continue to develop new products, grow market share, take advantage of future opportunities or respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated requirements, any of which could negatively impact the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition, or impact the Company’s ability to continue to conduct operations.

(b)

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its two wholly-owned subsidiaries. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

(c)

Revenues

The Company recognizes revenue when four basic criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services rendered; (3) the price to the buyer is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. The Company’s shipping terms are customarily FOB shipping point.

The sales price of products and services sold is fixed and determinable after receipt and acceptance of a customer’s purchase order or properly executed sales contract, typically before any work is performed. Management reviews each customer purchase order or sales contract to determine that the work to be performed is specified and there are no unusual terms and conditions that would raise questions as to whether the sales price is fixed or determinable. The Company assesses credit worthiness of customers based upon prior history with the customer and assessment of financial condition. Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. An allowance for doubtful accounts is provided for that portion of accounts receivable considered to be uncollectible, based upon historical experience and management’s evaluation of outstanding accounts receivable at the end of the year. Bad debts are written off against the allowance when identified.

The Company’s revenue transactions typically do not contain multiple deliverable elements for future performance obligations to customers, other than a standard one-year warranty on materials and workmanship, the estimated costs for which are provided for at the time revenue is recognized.

F-14

Revenues for industrial and medical products sold in the normal course of business are recognized upon shipment when delivery terms are FOB shipping point and all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. Gross shipping charges reimbursable from customers, to deliver product, are insignificant and are included in “Revenues” section of the Company’s consolidated statement of operations, while shipping costs are classified in the “selling, general and administrative expenses” section of the Company’s consolidated statement of operations.

(d)

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company includes in cash equivalents all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of acquisition. Cash and cash equivalents of $50,059 and $241,051 at June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, consist primarily of cash at banks and money market funds. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in bank deposit accounts that, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on its cash and cash equivalents.

(e)

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market and include material, labor and manufacturing overhead. The components of inventories at June 30, 2016 and 2015 are as follows:

	2016		2015
Raw material	$	520,490	$	485,266
Work-in-progress		383,889		388,503
Finished goods		229,072		199,487
	$	1,133,451	$	1,073,256

The Company provides for estimated obsolescence on unmarketable inventory based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual demand and market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required. Inventory, once written down, is not subsequently written back up, as these adjustments are considered permanent adjustments to the carrying value of the inventory.

(f)

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Maintenance and repair items are expensed as incurred. The Company provides for depreciation and amortization by charges to operations, using the straight-line and declining-balance methods, which allocate the cost of property and equipment over the following estimated useful lives:

Asset Classification		Estimated Useful Life
Machinery and equipment		2-7 years
Leasehold improvements		Shorter of lease term or estimated useful life
Furniture and fixtures		5 years
Vehicles		3 years

Depreciation expense was $25,856 and $21,271 for the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

(g)

Significant Customers and Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. The Company places its investments with highly rated financial institutions. The Company has not experienced any losses on these investments to date. At June 30, 2016, receivables from the Company’s three largest customers were 19%, 13% and 10% of the total accounts receivable. At June 30, 2015, receivables from the Company’s four largest customers were 38%, 13%, 12% and 10%, of the total accounts receivable. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s receivables as of June 30, 2016 and 2015. The Company has not experienced any material losses related to accounts receivable from individual customers. The Company generally does not require collateral or other security as a condition of sale, rather it relies on credit approval, balance limitation and monitoring procedures to control credit risk of trade account financial instruments. Management believes that allowances for doubtful accounts, which are established based upon review of specific account balances and historical experience, are adequate.

F-15

Revenues from the Company’s largest customers, as a percentage of total revenues, were as follows:

	Year Ended June 30
	2016		2015
Customer A		16%		23%
Customer B		1		15
Customer C		12		11
All others		71		51
		100%		100%

No other customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s revenues in fiscal years 2016 and 2015.

(h)

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 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. For the year ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, 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 loss per share for the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015:

	Year Ended June 30
	2016			2015
Net Loss– Basic and Diluted	$	(1,034,765	)	$	(1,178,793	)

Basic Weighted Average Shares Outstanding		7,157,978			6,272,264
Potentially Dilutive Securities		–			–
Diluted Weighted Average Shares Outstanding		7,157,978			6,272,264

Loss Per Share
Basic	$	(0.15	)	$	(0.19	)
Diluted	$	(0.15	)	$	(0.19	)

(i)

Stock-Based Compensation

The measurement and recognition of compensation costs for all stock-based awards made to employees and the Board of Directors are based upon fair value over the requisite service period for awards expected to vest. The Company estimates the fair value of share-based awards on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Stock-based compensation costs recognized for the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 amounted to $241,388 and $125,675, respectively.

(j)

Patents

Patent costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of their legal or estimated useful lives, generally five to ten years. Amortization expense was $0 for the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

F-16

In July 2011, the Company assigned all of its currently issued and pending patents, as well as new inventions that it conceived before July 28, 2012, to Intuitive Surgical Operations, Inc. The Company retained a royalty-free, worldwide license to these patents in fields outside of medical robotics.

(k)

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Financial instruments consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable. The estimated fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying value due to their short-term nature.

(l)

Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

(m)

Warranty Costs

The Company does not incur future performance obligations in the normal course of business other than providing a standard one-year warranty on materials and workmanship to its customers (except in certain unusual and infrequently occurring situations where extended warranty terms beyond one year are negotiated with the customer). The Company provides for estimated warranty costs at the time product revenue is recognized. Warranty costs have been included as a component of cost of goods sold in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The following tables summarize warranty reserve activity for the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015:

	2016			2015
Balance at beginning of period	$	25,000		$	25,000
Provision for warranty claims		4,189			32,477
Warranty claims incurred		(4,189	)		(32,477	)
Balance at end of period	$	25,000		$	25,000

(n)

Research and Development

Research and development expenses are charged to operations as incurred. The Company groups development and prototype costs and related reimbursements in research and development. For the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, research and development expense is shown net of reimbursements of $0 and $23,404, respectively, in the accompanying statements of operations.

(o)

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income or loss is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owners sources. The Company’s comprehensive loss or income for the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was equal to its net loss for the same periods.

(p)

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 carry-forwards. 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.

F-17

(q)

Segment Reporting

Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in making decisions about how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company’s chief decision-maker is its Chief Executive Officer. To date, the Company has viewed its operations and manages its business as principally one segment. For all periods presented, over 90% of the Company’s sales have been to customers in the United States.

(r)

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting standards generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(s)

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued new accounting guidance for measuring inventory. The core principal of the guidance is that an entity should measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. This guidance does not apply to inventory that is being measured using the Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) or the retail inventory method. The guidance is effective for financial statements issued for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016 on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this will have on the consolidated financial statements.

On June 12, 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-10, Technical Corrections and Improvements, which amends a number of topics in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The update is a part of an ongoing project on the FASB’s agenda to facilitate Codification updates for non-substantive technical corrections, clarifications, and improvements that are not expected to have a significant effect on accounting practice or create a significant administrative cost to most entities. The ASU will apply to all reporting entities within the scope of the affected accounting guidance. Certain amendments in the update require transition guidance and are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this will have on the consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 provides a single, comprehensive accounting model for revenues arising from contracts with customers that supersedes most of the existing revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. Under this model, revenue is recognized at an amount that an entity expects to be entitled to upon transferring control of goods or services to a customer, as opposed to when risks and rewards transfer to a customer under existing revenue recognition guidance. ASU 201-09 is effective for the Company beginning in its fiscal year 2018, and may be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented or through a cumulative adjustment to the opening retained earnings balance in the year of adoption. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements.

STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

(a)

Stock Options

Stock-based compensation costs recognized during the year ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 amounted to $241,388 and $125,675 respectively, and were included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations in: selling, general and administrative expenses (2016 — $123,370; 2015 — $107,300), cost of goods sold (2016 — $60,680; 2015 — $0), and research and development expenses, net (2016 — $57,338; 2015 — $18,375). 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 years ended June 30, 2016 or 2015, as the Company is currently in a loss position. There were 160,000 stock options granted during the year ended June 30, 2016 and 714,000 stock options granted during the year ended June 30, 2015.

F-19

As of June 30, 2016, the unrecognized compensation costs related to options vesting in the future is $0. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as the most appropriate method for determining the estimated fair value for the stock awards. The Black-Scholes method of valuation requires several assumptions: (1) the expected term of the stock award; (2) the expected future stock volatility over the expected term; and (3) risk-free interest rate. The expected term represents the expected period of time the Company believes the options will be outstanding based on historical information. Estimates of expected future stock price volatility are based on the historic volatility of the Company’s common stock and the risk free interest rate is based on the U.S. Zero-Bond rate. The Company utilizes a forfeiture rate based on an analysis of the Company’s actual experience. The fair value of options at date of grant was estimated with the following assumptions for options granted in fiscal 2016:

	Year Ended
	June 30, 2016
Assumptions:
Option life		5.5 years
Risk-free interest rate		1.01%
Stock volatility		188%
Dividend yield		0
Weighted average fair value of grants	$	0.49

On April 16, 2015, the Board of Directors approved an amendment to the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan which increased the maximum number of shares of the Company’s common stock that may be awarded under the Plan from 325,000 to 1,825,000, an increase of 1,500,000 shares. In connection therewith, on April 20, 2015, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-8 to register the 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. At June 30, 2016, a total of 1,001,602 stock options are outstanding and 823,398 shares of common stock were available for future grants under the 2011 Plan.

At June 30, 2016, a total of 134,398 stock options are outstanding, 12,500 stock options have been cancelled, and no shares of common stock are available for future grants under the 2006 Plan.

The 1997 Plan as amended and restated in 2006 provided eligible participants (certain employees, directors, consultants, etc.) the opportunity to receive a broad variety of equity based and cash awards. Options granted vested and were exercisable for periods determined by the Board of Directors, not to exceed 10 years from the date of grant. All stock options outstanding under the 1997 Plan during fiscal 2016 expired during the year, no options are outstanding under the 1997 Plan at June 30, 2016, and no shares of common stock are available for future grants under the 1997 Plan.

Sale of Stock in July 2014

On July 1 through July 7, 2014, the Company closed on agreements with institutional and accredited investors (the “Investors”) for the sale and purchase of 1,717,152 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value at a purchase price of $0.60 per share (the “Shares”). The Company received $1,030,291 in gross proceeds from the offering. The Company used the majority of the net proceeds from this placement for general working capital purposes. Of this amount, $50,000 was received in June 2014 and the remainder was received in July 2014.

INCOME TAXES

The Company has identified its federal tax return and its state tax return in Massachusetts as “major” tax jurisdictions. The periods subject to examination for its federal and state income tax returns are the years ended in 2014 and thereafter. The Company believes its income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained on audit and it does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material change to its financial position. Therefore, no liabilities for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded.

The provision for income taxes in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations consists of the minimum statutory state income tax liability of $912 for the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.

A reconciliation of the federal statutory rate to the Company’s effective tax rate for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 is as follows

	2016			2015
Income tax expense (benefit) at federal statutory rate		(34.0	)%		(34.0	)%
Increase (decrease) in tax resulting from:
State taxes, net of federal benefit		(6.3	)		(5.3	)
Change in valuation allowance		30.6			36.9
Stock based compensation		9.3			4.3
Nondeductible items		0.4			0.2
Prior-year tax adjustments		0.8			(2.1	)
Other		(0.9	)		(0.1	)
Effective tax rate		(0.1	)%		(0.1	)%

The components of deferred tax assets and liabilities at June 30, 2016 and 2015 are approximately as follows:

	2016			2015
Deferred tax assets:
Net operating loss carry forwards	$	3,396,000		$	3,161,000
Tax credit carry forwards		439,000			414,000
Reserves and accruals not yet deducted for tax purposes		362,000			305,000
Total deferred tax assets		4,197,000			3,880,000
Valuation allowance		(4,197,000	)		(3,880,000	)
Net deferred tax asset	$	–		$	–

The Company has provided a valuation allowance to reduce the net deferred tax asset to an amount the Company believes is “more likely than not” to be realized. The valuation allowance increased in fiscal 2016, as compared to the prior year, by approximately $317,000.
