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 a developer and manufacturer of advanced optical instruments since 1982. Today, the vast majority of our business is the design and manufacture of high-quality medical devices and approximately 17% of our business in fiscal year 2018 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 the areas of micro optical lenses and prisms, micro medical fiber and CMOS based cameras, and custom design of medical grade instruments, combined with recent developments in the areas of 3D displays and proprietary illumination techniques, has allowed us to begin commercialization of related product and service offerings to a widening group of customers addressing various medical device, defense and aerospace applications. We believe that new products based on these technologies provide enhanced optical and imaging qualities for many uses including existing surgical procedures and development of new procedures enabled by the small size and image quality of our camera modules.

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, 2018 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 27, 2018. 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 may continue to incur losses and we may never achieve profitability; and we may need to raise additional funds.

During the years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, we incurred net losses of $351,390 and $1,006,457, respectively. Our accumulated deficit at June 30, 2018 amounted to $45,022,122. We had working capital of $481,876 and $479,604 as of June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. During the year ended June 30, 2018, net cash provided by operating activities amounted to $100,657. During the quarter ended September 30, 2018, we had a net loss of $299,285 for the quarter. Our accumulated deficit at September 30, 2018 amounted to $45,321,407. We had working capital of $487,388 at September 30, 2018. We may continue incurring losses for the foreseeable future and may never achieve sustained 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 to conduct operations. 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, strategic alliances, 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.

As of December 31, 2018, we may have to pursue additional funding for our operations if we do not maintain adequate sales revenues.

For the year ended June 30, 2018, net cash provided by operating activities was $100,657, and our net loss for the year was $351,390. As of June 30, 2018, we had $402,738 in cash and cash equivalents, $769,923 of accounts receivable and $1,932,844 of current liabilities, including $857,842 of customer advances paid against open purchase orders from our customers. For the quarter ended September 30, 2018, net cash used in operating activities was $6,430, and our net loss for the quarter was $299,285. As of September 30, 2018, we had $351,314 in cash and cash equivalents, $655,720 of accounts receivable and $1,691,131 of current liabilities, including $400,704 of customer advance paid against open purchase orders from our customers. We received $2,000,000 gross proceeds in the October 2018 private placement. However, if we do not maintain adequate sales revenue, we may not have sufficient cash to continue operations without obtaining additional funding for operations in the future. We may have to pursue several options to manage cash flow and raise capital including issuing debt, equity or entering into a strategic alliance. The sale of additional equity or convertible debt securities would result in additional dilution to our stockholders, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants that could restrict our operations or finances. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If we cannot raise funds on acceptable terms or achieve positive cash flow, we may not be able to continue to conduct operations, develop new products, grow market share, take advantage of future opportunities or respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated requirements, any of which would negatively impact our business, operating results and financial condition.

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, 2018, our two largest customers represented approximately 16%, and 14%, respectively, of our total revenues. In the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, our three largest customers represented approximately 11%, 10%, and 10%, respectively, of our total revenues. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of our revenues during those periods. At June 30, 2018, our four largest customer account receivable balances were 22%, 16%, 13%, and 13%, respectively, of total accounts receivable. At June 30, 2017, our five largest account receivable balances were 16%, 15%, 12%, 12%, and 11%, respectively, 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, 2018, our four largest customer account receivable balances were 22%, 16%, 13%, and 13%, respectively, of 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. Additionally, our customers could become unable or unwilling to pay amounts owed to us. During fiscal 2018, we recorded a $227,500 reserve against accounts receivable amounts owed to us by one customer that has not been able to pay us for design services we provided. We have not purchased insurance on our accounts receivable balances. Large uncollectible accounts receivable balances could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

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 perform the necessary design services for our customers or produce our products causing damage to our business or an inability to meet customer demand or increase revenues.

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 manufacture and 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 manufacture and market our current products or may not obtain the necessary regulatory permission, approvals or licenses for the manufacturing or 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 manufacture and market our current products or we do not obtain regulatory permission to manufacture and 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.

We primarily perform engineering and manufacturing services for our customers who could decide to use another vendor for these services in the future.

A significant portion of our revenues are derived from engineering and manufacturing services that we perform to design and fabricate medical device products or sub-assemblies of medical device products for our customers who in turn sell the products to the end users. Our customers typically own the proprietary rights to and control commercial distribution of the final products. Therefore, in many of these cases we do not own the proprietary rights to the medical device products that we manufacture or that our sub-assemblies are made a part of. Our customers could decide to use other suppliers for these services based on cost, quality, delivery time, production capacities, competitive and regulatory considerations or other factors. Thus, revenues from our customers and the products and services we provide them are subject to significant fluctuation on a product to product basis from period to period.

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 who 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 22, 2018, 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” rule 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 June 30, 2018, there were 1,055,700 shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options outstanding, at a weighted average exercise price of $0.76 per share. As of June 30, 2018, a total of 789,898 shares of our common stock are reserved for issuance under our 2011 Equity Incentive Plan. In August 2018 the Board of Directors authorized compensation agreements with our Chief Executive Officer including the issuance of 300,000 common shares and granting of stock options to purchase 350,000 shares of our common stock at $0.73 per share subject to vesting conditions, and with our Chief Financial Officer including the granting of stock options to purchase 100,000 shares of our common stock at $0.70 per share subject to vesting conditions. 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

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.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE COMPANY

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Overview

We have been developing and manufacturing advanced optical instruments since 1982. Today, the majority of our business is the design and manufacture of high-quality medical devices and approximately 17% of our revenue in fiscal year 2018 is from 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. Over 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 CMOS image sensors, has allowed us to begin commercialization of these technologies. Thus, over 30% of our revenues in each of the fiscal years 2016, 2017 and 2018 were derived from engineering and design services we performed for our customers to incorporate our technologies and capabilities into their medical device products. We believe that new products based on these technologies provide enhanced imaging for existing surgical procedures which help to enable development of many new medical device products and related medical procedures. Over 50% of our total revenues in fiscal years 2016, 2017 and 2018 were derived from the assembly and manufacture of endoscopic medical devises, sub-assemblies and optical components ordered by our customers and usually developed from the engineering and design services we perform for them. We expect sales revenue increases to come from the orders from our customers to manufacture the products we help them engineer and design.

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, illumination, and 3D endoscopes.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, approximately 66% of our sales were made to eight customers. Of these, four are large, international, medical device or defense contracting companies who have been our customers for many years. Two of these customers continue to purchase products that we developed over five years ago, and the other two are purchasing products that were developed and launched into production by us more recently. The other four top customers have engaged our engineering services or purchase products that we developed in recent years. Seven of these eight customers’ revenues are for projects 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 1.6 mm and 400 x 400 pixel resolution, representing superior image quality for camera modules of its size. In June 2017, OmniVision Technologies, Inc. announced our collaboration with them in the development of an even smaller, high-quality optical solution based on a newly developed OmniVision image sensor integrated with our Microprecsion™ lenses. This solution enables even smaller diameter endoscopes for use in medical procedures.

We are currently engaged in development projects with numerous 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 now received two production orders exceeding $1 each from two customers for their custom designed products, and we believe in the future we will receive follow-on orders from these customers as well as production orders from other customers currently in our engineering and design pipeline.

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 design custom camera module assemblies with the combined objectives of low cost, small size, range of optical specifications and high image quality desired by our customer’s device specifications. 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.

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.

Sales and Marketing

We market our engineering design and manufacturing services relating to 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 and referrals, we also develop new sales opportunities through our website, email mailings 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 and which benefits our customers as they market their products manufactured by us or containing our sub-assemblies into markets outside the United States. In the future, we may establish or use additional production facilities overseas to produce key components for our business, such as lenses. From the 1990s through approximately 2014, we maintained a physical presence in Asia to support business and quality control activities throughout the region as needed. We continue to acquire various optical components from overseas to meet the needs of custom device designs. We believe that the availability of specialized components and cost savings from various overseas production resources is essential to our ability to deliver complex and unique device designs and 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. Although development work on behalf of customers is almost entirely performed under revenue generating contracts and customer purchase orders, research and development expenses are incurred on our own proprietary products and technology, such as Microprecision™ optics, micro medical cameras and 3D endoscopes. Accordingly, we treat engineering expenses not consumed in customer contracted development and our investment of funds and resources in internal product and intellectual property development as research and development expense in the accompanying statement of operations. For the years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, research and development expenses were $456,377 and $464,162, 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.

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., and High Speed Interconnects. 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 various United States patents, and have 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:
	—	3-D endoscopes:
	—	Microprecision™ lenses and micro medical cameras:
	—	Military products:

The patents contained in our current patent portfolio have various expiration dates through 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 June 30, 2018, we had 30 employees, 26 of which were full-time employees. There were 20 employees in manufacturing, 6 in engineering/research and development and 4 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 2018 and 2017 were as follows:

	2018			2017
Customer A		16			5
Customer B		14			10
Customer C		8			10
Customer D		4			11
All Others		58			64
		100	%		100	%

No other customer accounted for more than 10% of our revenues in fiscal years 2018 and 2017. At June 30, 2018, our four largest customer account receivable balances were 22%, 16%, 13%, and 13%, respectively, of total accounts receivable. At June 30, 2017, our five largest account receivable balances were 16%, 15%, 12%, 12%, and 11% of the total accounts receivable. No other accounts accounted for more than 10% of accounts receivable at June 30, 2018 or 2017.

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 three 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 two other smaller Gardner facilities 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 improvements to existing facilities or 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

Our Company, on occasion, may also be involved in other legal matters arising in the ordinary course of our business. While management believes that such matters are currently insignificant, matters arising in the ordinary course of business for which we are or could become involved in litigation may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. We are not aware of any pending or threatened litigation against us or our officers and directors in their capacity as such that could have a material impact on our operations or finances.

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. 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 Ended September 30, 2018 as Compared to the Quarter Ended September 30, 2017

Our total revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2018, were $1,559,458, as compared to $1,028,746 for the same period in the prior year, an increase of $530,712, or 51.6%. Revenues increased during the quarter ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same quarter of the prior year in the engineering services and production categories by 22% and 72%, respectively. The majority of our revenues are derived from engineering design and manufacturing services related to products marketed or under development by our OEM customers. Therefore, our revenues are subject to fluctuations on a product by product basis from period to period.

The number and type of engineering service revenue projects have been consistent over the past quarters and when comparing the current quarter ended September 30, 2018 to the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. Projects range in type and include CMOS, Microprecision™, 3D and robotic visualization and illumination systems, and we continue to believe that these engineering projects represent our pipeline of additional production revenues as certain customer products progress through development and into commercialization. Engineering service revenue increased during the quarter ended September 30, 2018 when compared to the same quarter of the prior year due primarily to a decrease caused by one project transitioning to production revenue during fiscal year 2018, which was offset by a larger increase in engineering service revenue from one new 3D robotic project in the quarter ended September 30, 2018.

The 72% increase in production revenue during the quarter ended September 30, 2018 when compared to the same quarter of the prior year is due primarily to an increase in the number of production projects and the recent transition of engineering projects to production. The decreases in two production project revenues during the current quarter are considered to be normal fluctuations in orders from two on-going customers, and were offset by larger increases from two production projects that recently transitioned from engineering to production orders. Those products represent a fiberscope incorporating our Microprecision™ technology and an ENT scanning device incorporating CMOS and Microprecision™ technologies. Revenues during the quarter ended September 30, 2018 were further increased compared to the same quarter of the prior fiscal year by an increase in number of production projects from nineteen to twenty-six in the quarter ended September 30, 2018.

Gross profit for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 was $462,507, compared to $386,742 for the same period in the prior year, reflecting an increase of $75,765 or 19.7%. Gross profit for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 as a percentage of our revenues was 29.7%, a decrease from the gross profit percentage of 37.6% for the same period in the prior year. Quarterly gross profit and gross profit percentage depend on a number of factors, including overall sales volume, facility utilization, product sales mix, and the costs of engineering services and initial production in connection with new products. Although the higher level of revenues during the quarter ended September 30, 2018 when compared to the same quarter of the prior year absorbed a greater amount of fixed manufacturing costs thereby increasing realized gross margin, two projects during the quarter encountered cost over-runs that resulted in the decreased gross margin as a percentage of sales during the current quarter. The two projects represent 25% of total revenues for the quarter, one being a production project impacting the current period gross margin percentage by an estimated 4.8% and one engineering service project impacting the current gross margin percentage by an estimated 3.3%. The cost over-runs in each of these cases resulted from design challenges and issues we are addressing and that we believe will only cause a temporary decrease in realized gross margins. The remainder of our production and engineering jobs resulted in margins within our targeted range with reasonably expected fluctuations.

Research and development expenses were $100,798 for the quarter ended September 30, 2018, compared to $118,427 for the same period in the prior year, a decrease of $17,629 or 14.9%. The vast majority of our engineering, research and development activities are consumed in revenue generating engagements with our customers for the development of their products. In-house research and development and certain internal functions not directly related to customer engagements are classified as research and development expenses.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $660,489 for the quarter ended September 30, 2018, compared to $296,584 for the same period in the prior year, an increase of $363,905, or 122.7%. The increase in the quarter ended September 30, 2018, compared to the same quarter of the prior fiscal year was primarily due to increased non-cash stock based compensation expense of $329,877 relating to stock option and common stock awards. Operating expenses were further increased during the quarter ended September 30, 2018 when compared to the same quarter of the prior fiscal year by increased compensation costs for additional engineering personnel, and existing personnel salaries and sales commissions, which were partially offset by a reduction in bad debt expense related to one isolated customer in the prior year. Excluding total non-cash stock based compensation expense of $342,984 recognized in cost of goods sold and selling, general and administrative expenses during the quarter ended September 30, 2018, non GAAP net income would have been $43,699 in the quarter ended September 30, 2018.

No income tax provision was recorded in the quarters ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 because of the losses generated in those periods.

Results of Operations for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2018 as Compared to the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2017

Total revenues for fiscal year 2018 were $4,038,048, an increase of $883,501, or 28.0%, from revenues for fiscal year 2017 of $3,154,547. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018 revenues increased in the production category by 54.8% and decreased in the engineering services category by 6.7%. Production revenues increased primarily due to the addition of a defense industry optical sub-assembly, an increase in sales to a long-standing customer for a traditional fiber scope, and sales relating to two engineering projects converted to production during fiscal year 2018. The 6.7% decline in engineering revenues during the fiscal year 2018 is considered to be the result of normal engineering project fluctuations. Engineering revenues in fiscal year 2018 are represented by decreased revenues from certain customers as development projects transition through phases or into production, as well as increased revenues to certain other customers for new or advancing development projects. The number of engineering projects we worked on in fiscal year 2018 was similar to the number of engineering projects worked on in fiscal year 2017. The engineering projects range in type including CMOS, Microprecision™, 3D and robotic visualization and illumination systems. We believe the quality of the engineering projects continues to provide the opportunity for production purchase orders from these customers as the product advance to clinical evaluation and commercialization.

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

	Year Ended June 30,
	2018			2017
Customer A		16			5
Customer B		14			10
Customer C		8			10
Customer D		4			11
All Others		58			64
		100	%		100	%

No other customer accounted for more than 10% of our revenues in fiscal years 2018 and 2017.

Gross profit for fiscal year 2018 of $1,481,918, reflected an increase of $708,194, or 91.5%, as compared to gross profit for fiscal year 2017 of $773,724. Gross profit, as a percentage of revenues for fiscal year 2018, was 36.7% as compared to gross profit, as a percentage of revenues for fiscal year 2017, of 24.5%. The increase in gross margin dollars in fiscal year 2018 was due primarily to increased sales revenue compared to fiscal 2017 and increased operational efficiencies in production. The increase in gross margin percentage realized in fiscal year 2018 compared to fiscal year 2017 reflects increased manufacturing efficiencies on traditional and new technology products, continued utilization of engineering resources in revenue generating projects, and greater absorption of fixed manufacturing expenses due to higher sales levels in fiscal year 2018 compared to fiscal year 2017.

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 developing and manufacturing products based on the new Microprecision™ and CMOS technologies, we have become more efficient in estimating and executing engineering service contracts and manufacturing activities, causing margins to rise. As a result of the care taken to manage our custom development projects, we experienced efficient transition from engineering to production in three significant projects during the latter portion of fiscal year 2018. In each of these three projects we have successfully delivered products to our customers on time, meeting specifications and within budget. This efficient operational performance has contributed to the increased gross profit percentage in fiscal year 2018, and we believe that as overall revenues increase beyond breakeven the absorption of fixed manufacturing costs may also cause gross profit percentages to increase from their current levels.

Research and development expenses were $456,377 for fiscal year 2018 as compared to $464,162 for fiscal year 2017. The decrease of $7,785, or 1.7%, in fiscal year 2018 compared to fiscal year 2017 was due primarily to the continued high utilization of our engineering resources in revenue generating activities for our customers. As a result of increases in engineering service revenue, a greater portion of our fixed engineering cost is included in cost of goods sold.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $60,682, or 4.6%, to $1,374,160 for fiscal year 2018 as compared to $1,313,478 for fiscal year 2017, resulting primarily from a $227,500 provision to bad debt expense during fiscal year 2018 relating to amounts receivable from one specific customer, offset by a reduction in consulting expense in fiscal year 2018, a $180,771 reduction in stock based compensation relating to stock options and stock issued for consulting services, and reduced wages resulting from the retirement of a sales person in January 2017 and a temporarily vacated administrative position which has since been filled.

The gain on sale of assets in fiscal year 2017 of $1,515 represents the sale of previously written off assets for proceeds of $1,515.

The income tax provisions in fiscal years 2018 and 2017 represent the minimum statutory state income tax liability.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have sustained recurring net losses for several years. During the quarter ended September 30, 2018, we incurred a net loss of $299,780 and used cash in operating activities of $6,430. As of September 30, 2018, cash and cash equivalents were $351,314, accounts receivable were $655,720, and current liabilities were $1,691,131, including $400,704 of customer advance paid against open purchase orders from our customers. We incurred a net loss of $28,785 during the quarter ended September 30, 2017 and used cash in operating activities of $131,646. We incurred net losses of $351,390 and $1,006,457 during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and generated cash from operating activities of $100,657 and used cash in operating activities of $667,434 during the same fiscal periods, respectively. Our working capital consisted of $487,388 as of September 30, 2018.

We have traditionally funded working capital needs through product sales, management of working capital components of our business, cash received from public and private offerings of our common stock, warrants to purchase shares of our common stock or convertible notes, and by customer advances paid against purchase orders by our customers and recorded in the current liabilities section of the accompanying financial statements. We have incurred year to year and 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.

The sale of additional equity or convertible debt securities, if converted into common stock, would result in additional dilution our current stockholders, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants that could restrict our operations or finances and encumber our assets. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If we are unable to secure additional capital, enter into a strategic alliance, raise funds on acceptable terms or achieve sustained positive cash from operations, we may be required to curtail our research and development initiatives and take additional measures to reduce costs in order to conserve our cash, and 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 reported on Form 8-K filed on October 18, 2018, we received $2,000,000 on October 16, 2018 from the sale of 1,600,000 shares of our common stock at $1.25 per share, which we intend to use for general working capital purposes. Proceeds from this stock offering, combined with our recently improved financial performance, significantly enhances our working capital position and financial condition. Critical to our ability to maintain our financial condition is achieving a level of quarterly revenues at or greater than the levels achieved during the most recent two fiscal quarters. A return to lower revenue levels experienced in recent fiscal years could result in the use of our cash and working capital and an overall decline in our financial condition.

Capital equipment expenditures during the quarters ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 were $42,809 and $0, respectively. Future capital equipment expenditures will be dependent upon the type and amount of future sales revenue and the needs of on-going research and development efforts.

Contractual cash commitments for the fiscal years subsequent to June 30, 2018 are summarized as follows:

		Fiscal 2018				Thereafter				Total
Capital lease for equipment, including interest		$	10,250			$	15,376			$	25,626

We have contractual cash commitments related to open purchase orders as of September 30, 2018 of approximately $545,000, including a $21,378 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.

Material Trends and Uncertainties

Although our sales revenues and financial performance from a cash flow basis have improved over the last two fiscal quarters, we have sustained recurring net losses for several years. If we do not maintain the improved level of financial performance, specifically breakeven cash flow and profitable results, we may be required to pursue several options to manage cash flow and raise capital, including issuing debt or equity or entering into a strategic alliance. If we do not at least sustain the improved level of financial performance and are then unable to secure additional capital or enter into a strategic alliance on acceptable terms, we may be required to curtail our research and development initiatives and take additional measures to reduce costs in order to conserve our cash. 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.

Sales of our traditional endoscope products we have manufactured for our customers for years are continuing, and we have three new engineering projects that have transitioned to manufacturing orders during fiscal 2018. Additionally, we have an on-going pipeline of revenue generating engineering development projects with existing and new customers that are currently consuming the capacity of our engineering department. Engineering development projects are selected by us as those we believe have the greatest potential to transition into follow-on manufacturing orders as our customers introduce their products to market.

Our capabilities to design and manufacture entire endoscope instruments and sub-assemblies, but specifically those utilizing CMOS, 3D, and our Microprecision™ lens and camera module technologies, is the basis for our increased level of revenue generating engineering projects. We have developed expertise, intellectual property, and unique know-how in the area of micro sized camera modules comprising micro optical lens and prism elements, CMOS sensors, 3D visualization, fiber optics, and various forms of illumination that are increasingly in demand with medical device companies. We believe our capabilities in this area make endoscope products available to our customers in small sizes with high resolution and at low prices not available in the past. We also believe our technologies and know-how can lead to products meeting these criteria and they are also designed to be disposable, which is also in demand by medical device companies to mitigate the risks of operating room cross contamination.

Our future success in capitalizing on the demand for our design and manufacturing capabilities requires us to continue to provide engineering services valued by our customers, and to efficiently manufacture those products when orders are received from our customers. Our ability to continue to provide engineering and manufacturing services is dependent on us to continue to manage our cash flow and to raise the necessary amount of cash to fund our operating losses until sustained breakeven revenues and positive cash flow from operations are achieved.

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 first quarter of the Company’s fiscal year 2019. 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, 2018, together with the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm filed under cover of the Company’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 27, 2018.

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 months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, 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 months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017:

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2018			2017
Net Income (Loss) – Basic and Diluted	$	(299,285	)	$	(28,785	)

Basic and Diluted Weighted Average Shares Outstanding		10,261,269			9,108,423

Loss Per Share
Basic	$	(0.03	)	$	(0.00	)
Diluted	$	(0.03	)	$	(0.00	)

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 1,493,200 and 1,745,067 for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, 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.

Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted

On July 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Refer to Note 6 for further information.

2.	INVENTORIES

4.	STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Stock Options

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. The following table summarizes stock-based compensation expense resulting from outstanding stock options for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017:

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2018		2017
Cost of Goods Sold	$	–	$	8,669
Research and Development Expenses		2,411		6,692
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses		130,573		10,696
Stock Based Compensation Expense	$	132,984	$	26,057

No compensation has been capitalized because such amounts would have been immaterial.

The following tables summarize stock option activity for the three months ended September 30, 2018:

	Options Outstanding
	Number of Shares			Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Contractual Life
Outstanding at June 30, 2018		1,055,700		$	0.76		6.13 years

On July 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606) using the modified retrospective method for contracts that were not completed as of July 1, 2018. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. With the adoption of ASC 606, the Company elected to apply certain permitted practical expedients. In evaluating the cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings, the Company adopted the standard only for contracts that were not complete as of the date of adoption. The impact of ASC 606 on the Company’s results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2018 was not material.

Revenues are recognized as the performance obligations to deliver products or services are satisfied and are recorded based on the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for satisfying the performance obligations. Most of the Company’s products and services are marketed to medical device companies almost exclusively in the United States. Products and services are primarily transferred to customers at a point in time based upon when services are performed or product is shipped.

Revenues represent the amount of consideration we expect to receive from customers in exchange for transferring products and services. Other selling costs to obtain and fulfill contracts are expensed as incurred due to the short-term nature of a majority of our revenues. The Company extends terms of payment to its customers based on commercially reasonable terms for the markets of its customers, while also considering their credit quality. Shipping and handling costs charged to customers are included in revenues.

The Company disaggregates revenues by product and service types as it believes it best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Precision Optics Corporation, Inc.:

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Precision Optics Corporation, Inc. as of June 30, 2018 and 2017 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholder’s equity, cash flows, for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2018 and the related notes (collectively referred to as “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2018 and 2017 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the periods then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, 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. Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

PRECISION OPTICS CORPORATION, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(1)

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a)

Nature of Business and Liquidity

Precision Optics Corporation, Inc. (the “Company”) designs, develops, manufactures and sells specialized optical and illumination systems and related components. The Company conducts business in one industry segment only and its customers are primarily domestic. The Company performs advanced optical and illumination system design, development, assembly and manufacturing services for products that fall into two principal areas: (i) medical products for use by hospitals and physicians; and (ii) products used by military and industrial customers.

(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.

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 the “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.

F-14

(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 $402,738 and $118,405 at June 30, 2018 and 2017, 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 net realizable value and include material, labor and manufacturing overhead. The components of inventories at June 30, 2018 and 2017 are as follows:

	2018		2017
Raw material	$	500,908	$	501,346
Work-in-progress		434,536		388,614
Finished goods		208,624		165,487
	$	1,144,068	$	1,055,447

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 $27,216 and $33,660 for the years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

F-15

(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, 2018, the Company’s four largest customer account receivable balances were 22%, 16%, 13%, and 13%, respectively, of total accounts receivable. At June 30, 2017, receivables from the Company’s five largest customers were 16%, 15%, 12%, 12% and 11%, respectively, of the total accounts receivable. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s receivables as of June 30, 2018 and 2017.

The allowance for doubtful accounts receivable was increased from $5,000 at June 30, 2017 to $232,500 at June 30, 2018 in order to specifically reserve for $227,500 owed by one customer. Other than this doubtful account receivable, 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 the allowance for doubtful accounts, which is established based upon review of specific account balances and historical experience, is adequate at June 30, 2018.

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

	2018			2017
Customer A		16	%		5	%
Customer B		14			10
Customer C		8			10
Customer D		4			11
All Others		58			64
		100	%		100	%

No other customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s revenues in fiscal years 2018 and 2017.

(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, 2018 and 2017, the effect of such securities was antidilutive and not included in the diluted calculation because of the net loss generated in those periods.

F-16

The following is the calculation of loss per share for the years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017:

	Year Ended June 30
	2018			2017
Net Loss– Basic and Diluted	$	(351,390	)	$	(1,006,457	)

Basic Weighted Average Shares Outstanding		9,826,151			8,343,235
Potentially Dilutive Securities		–			–
Diluted Weighted Average Shares Outstanding		9,826,151			8,343,235

Loss Per Share
Basic	$	(0.04	)	$	(0.12	)
Diluted	$	(0.04	)	$	(0.12	)

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 4,530,513 and 4,553,213 for the years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

(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, 2018 and 2017 amounted to $52,341 and $201,612, 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, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

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.

F-17

(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, 2018 and 2017:

	2018			2017
Balance at beginning of period	$	25,000		$	25,000
Provision for warranty claims		6,109			14,842
Warranty claims incurred		(6,109	)		(14,842	)
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. There were no reimbursements for research and development recorded in research and development for the years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

(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, 2018 and 2017 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-18

(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 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 2014-09 is effective for the Company beginning in its fiscal year 2019, 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 will expand its revenue related disclosures as a result of adopting the new standard, which will primarily include revenue disaggregation. The Company has adopted ASU 2014-09 for the Company’s fiscal year beginning July 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective approach. The Company believes ASU 2014-09 will not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This guidance establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statement of operations and comprehensive income. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted. This guidance provides specific classification of how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented in the statement of cash flows. The ASU should be applied using a retrospective transition method. If it is impracticable to apply the amendments retrospectively for some of the cash flow issues, the amendments for those issues should then be applied prospectively at the earliest date practicable. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of this ASU on its presentation of the consolidated statement of cash flows.

Related Party Transactions

Transactions with Officers and Directors

The Company leases its main Gardner facility from a corporation owned by Mr. Richard E. Forkey, who resigned from the Company’s board of directors on July 9, 2014.

STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

(a)

Stock Options

The following table summarizes stock-based compensation expense for the years ended June 30:

	2018		2017
Cost of Goods Sold	$	8,669	$	34,676
Research and Development Expenses		15,423		31,952
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses		28,249		134,984
Stock Based Compensation Expense	$	52,341	$	201,612

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, 2018 or 2017, as the Company is currently in a loss position. There were 40,000 stock options granted during the year ended June 30, 2018 and 15,000 stock options granted during the year ended June 30, 2017.

As of June 30, 2018, 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 year 2018:

	Year Ended
	June 30, 2018
Assumptions:
Option life		5.3 years
Risk-free interest rate		1.01%
Stock volatility		171%
Dividend yield		0
Weighted average fair value of grants		$0.58

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 2017 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, 2018 and 2017.

F-24

A reconciliation of the federal statutory rate to the Company’s effective tax rate for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 is as follows:

	2018			2017
Income tax expense (benefit) at federal statutory rate		(21.0	)%		(34.0	)%
Increase (decrease) in tax resulting from:
State taxes, net of federal benefit		(6.3	)		(5.4	)
Change in valuation allowance		20.4			30.9
Stock based compensation		4.5			8.0
Nondeductible items		2.3			0.2
Prior-year tax adjustments		–			0.2
Effective tax rate		(0.1	)%		(0.1	)%

The components of deferred tax assets and liabilities at June 30, 2018 and 2017 are approximately as follows:

	2018			2017
Deferred tax assets:
Net operating loss carry forwards	$	2,601,000		$	3,716,000
Tax credit carry forwards		377,000			404,000
Reserves and accruals not yet deducted for tax purposes		360,000			383,000
Total deferred tax assets		3,338,000			4,503,000
Valuation allowance		(3,338,000	)		(4,503,000	)
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 decreased in fiscal 2018, as compared to the prior year, by approximately $1,165,000, net of the effect of the reduction in the Federal corporate income tax rate to 21% pursuant to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act effective December 22, 2017 for tax years beginning after 2017.

At June 30, 2018, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $5,516,000 and $2,915,000, respectively, which will, if not used, expire at various dates from 2019 through 2037. In addition, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards from its Hong Kong operations of approximately $2,252,000, which carry forward indefinitely.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

We are organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Our officers and directors are indemnified as provided by the Massachusetts Business Corporation Act as set forth in Chapter 156D of the General Laws of Massachusetts, our Articles of Organization, as amended, and our Bylaws.

Section 2.02(b)(4) of the Massachusetts Business Corporation Act (the “MBCA”) provides that a corporation may, in its articles of organization, eliminate or limit a director’s personal liability to the corporation for monetary damages for breaches of fiduciary duty, except in circumstances involving (1) a breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders, (2) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (3) improper distributions, and (4) transactions from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

Section 8.52 of the MBCA provides that we must indemnify a director who was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which he was a party because he was a director of our Company against reasonable expenses incurred by him in connection with the proceeding.

In addition, under Section 8.51 of the MBCA, we may indemnify a director against liability incurred in a proceeding if:

(1)

(i) he conducted himself in good faith; (ii) he reasonably believed that his conduct was in the best interests of our Company or that his conduct was at least not opposed to the best interests of our Company; and (iii) in the case of any criminal proceeding, he had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful; or

(2)

he engaged in conduct for which he shall not be liable as provided in our Articles of Organization, as amended, which may limit personal liability of a director as provided in the General Laws of Massachusetts.

II-1

The termination of a proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, is not, of itself, determinative that the director did not meet the relevant standard of conduct described in Section 8.51 of the MBCA.

Section 8.56 of the MBCA permits a corporation to indemnify an officer (1) under those circumstances in which the corporation would be allowed to indemnify a director and (2) if such officer is not a director of the corporation, to such further extent as the corporation chooses provided that the liability does not arise out of acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law. Section 8.56 of the MBCA further requires that a corporation indemnify an officer who was wholly successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any proceeding to which such officer was a party because he was a director of the corporation.

Prior to the final disposition of a proceeding involving a director or officer, Sections 8.53 and 8.56 of the MBCA allow us to pay for or reimburse reasonable expenses. As a condition, the director or officer must deliver a written undertaking to repay the funds if the individual is determined not to have met the relevant standard of conduct, which determination is made in the same manner as the determination of whether an individual is entitled to indemnification. This undertaking may be accepted without security and without regard to the individual’s financial ability to make repayment. Another condition to advancement of expenses is that the individual submit a written affirmation of his or her good faith that he or she has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification (or that the matter involved conduct for which liability has been eliminated pursuant to the charter exculpation provision referred to above). Furthermore, Section 8.54 of the MBCA provides that a court may direct a corporation to indemnify a director or officer under certain circumstances.

Section 8.58 of the MBCA allows a corporation to obligate itself in advance of the act or omission giving rise to a proceeding to provide indemnification to a director or officer or to advance funds or reimburse expenses. Such a commitment may be made in the corporation’s articles of organization or bylaws or in a resolution adopted or a contract approved by the board of directors or the shareholders.

Under Section 8.51(b) of the MBCA, a director’s conduct with respect to an employee benefit plan for a purpose he reasonably believed to be in the interests of the participants in, and the beneficiaries of, the plan is conduct that satisfies the requirement that his conduct was at least not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. Unless ordered by a court as provided in the statute, we may not indemnify a director if his conduct did not satisfy the standards set forth above.

Our Articles of Organization, as amended, provide that our directors shall not be liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent that the exculpation from liabilities is not permitted under the MBCA, or Massachusetts Business Corporation Act, as in effect at the time such liability is determined. Our Bylaws provide that we shall indemnify our directors and officers (including persons who serve at our request as directors, officers, or trustees of another organization, or in any capacity with respect to any employee benefit plan) to the full extent permitted by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts against all liabilities and expenses, including amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromise, or as fines and penalties, and counsel fees, reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense or disposition of any action, suit, or other proceeding, whether civil or criminal, in which he or she may be involved or with which he or she may be threatened while in office or thereafter, by reason of his or her being or having been such a director or officer, except with respect to any matter as to which he or she shall have been adjudicated in any proceeding not to have acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that his or her action was in the best interest of our Company (any person serving another organization in one or more of the indicated capacities at the request of the corporation who shall have acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that his or her action was in the best interest of such other organization to be deemed as having acted in such manner with respect to the corporation), or, to the extent that such matter relates to service with respect to any employee benefit plan, in the best interests of the participants or beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan. In addition, we hold a Director and Officer Liability and Corporate Indemnification Policy.

The warrant exercise price was variable and depended on our achievement of certain performance criteria. The warrant exercise price was agreed to be $0.40 per share if we achieved both of the revenue and income performance criteria as defined, the exercise price would be $0.20 per share if we achieved one of the performance criteria, and the exercise price would be $0.01 if we did not achieve either of the performance criteria. Since we did not achieve either of the criteria, the exercise price of the warrants was $0.01 and all the warrants were exercised for 666,667 shares issued in October 2017.

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

UNDERTAKINGS

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1)

To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i)

To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii)

To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) (§ 230.424(b) of this chapter) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;

(iii)

To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

Provided, however, that:

(2)

That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3)

To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4)

(i)

That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

(A)

Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) (§230.424(b)(3) of this chapter) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

(B)

Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) (§230.424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) of this chapter) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) (§230.415(a) (1)(i), (vii), or (x) of this chapter) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

(h)

(3)

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
