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-ownedwholly 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 secondthird quarter and sixnine months of the Company’s fiscal year 2018.2020. 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, 2017,2019, together with the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm filed under cover of the Company’s 20172019 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 28, 2017.26, 2019.

 

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.

 

Reclassification

Certain balance sheet items in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the current period financial statements. This reclassification had no effect on the previously reported net loss.

Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income or net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income or net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, plus the number of potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period such as stock options and warrants. For the three and sixnine months ended DecemberMarch 31, 20172020 and 2016,2019, the effect of such securities was antidilutive and not included in the diluted calculation because of the net loss generated in these periods.

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.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. Based on this evaluation, a full valuation reserve has been provided for the deferred tax assets.

 

Recently Issued Accounting PronouncementsGoodwill and Patents

 

In May 2014,Long-lived assets such as goodwill and patents are capitalized when acquired and reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers which requires an entity to recognizebook value of the amountasset may not be recoverable. Impairment of revenue to which it expectsthe carrying value of long-lived assets such as goodwill and patents would be indicated if the best estimate of future undiscounted cash flows expected to be entitled forgenerated by the transfer of promised goodsasset grouping is less than its carrying value. If an impairment is indicated, any loss is measured as the difference between estimated fair value and carrying value and is recognized in operating income or services to customers. The ASU guidance requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expectsloss. Assets to be entitled in exchange for those goodsdisposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or services. The guidance also requires expanded disclosures relating to the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Additionally, qualitative and quantitative disclosures are required regarding customer contracts, significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from thefair value less costs to obtainsell. No such impairments of goodwill or fulfill a contract. The standard will be effective forpatents have been estimated by management as of March 31, 2020.

6.SALE OF STOCKREVENUE RECOGNITION

 

On August 22, 2017,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, whereby 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 the Company expects 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 its 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. Revenues are comprised of the following for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019:

  Three Months
Ended March 31,
  Nine Months
Ended March 31,
 
  2020  2019  2020  2019 
Engineering Design Services $210,065  $61,833  $1,098,234  $892,472 
Optical Components  1,479,322   250,405   4,428,409   774,429 
Medical Device Products and Assemblies  685,197   1,074,216   2,159,687   2,756,862 
Total Revenues $2,374,584  $1,386,454  $7,686,330  $4,423,763 

Contract Assets and Liabilities

The nature of the Company’s products and services does not generally give rise to contract assets as it typically does not incur costs to fulfill a contract before a product or service is provided to a customer. The Company’s costs to obtain contracts are typically in the form of sales commissions paid to employees. The Company has elected to expense sales commissions associated with obtaining a contract as incurred as the amortization period is generally less than one year. These costs have been recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. As of March 31, 2020, there were no contract assets recorded in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

11

The Company’s contract liabilities arise as a result of unearned revenue received from customers at inception of contracts or where the timing of billing for services precedes satisfaction of our performance obligations. The Company generally satisfies performance obligations within one year from the contract inception date.

Contract liabilities, which were recorded as customer advances in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets, and unearned revenue are comprised of the following:

  Three Months
Ended March 31,
  Nine Months
Ended March 31,
 
  2020  2019  2020  2019 
Contract liabilities, beginning of period $388,506  $294,650  $450,192  $857,842 
Unearned revenue received from customers  41,874   61,928   334,893   81,684 
Revenue recognized  (119,855)  (97,650)  (474,560)  (680,598)
Contract liabilities, end of period $310,525  $258,928  $310,525  $258,928 

6.BUSINESS ACQUISITION

7.COVID-19 PANDEMIC

The world-wide COVID-19 pandemic that began during the quarter ended March 31, 2020 and the domestic and international impact of policy decisions being made in major countries around the world has had, and is expected to have, an adverse impact on the Company’s sources of supply, current and future orders from the Company’s customers, collection of amounts owed to it from its customers, the Company’s internal operating procedures, and the Company’s overall financial condition. While the Company and many of its medical device and defense contracting customers continue to operate as essential businesses, the Company has taken various actions to augment its operating and human resource policies and procedures to guard against the potential health hazards of COVID-19. These augmented procedures can have a negative impact on the Company’s operational efficiencies. The Company sources various components from overseas suppliers throughout Asia, including China. The Company has experienced supply disruptions and customer delays, which it believes were the result of the COVID-19 pandemic and related economic slow-down. Given the uncertainty surrounding the continuation of economic slow-downs domestically and abroad, the Company cannot predict with certainty at this time what the future impact of COVID-19 and resulting business and economic policies in the US and abroad will be on its upcoming quarterly fiscal operating results.

The Company is usingentered into this stock offering transaction in order to enhance its financial condition given uncertainties surrounding the netCOVID-19 pandemic and its potential impact on domestic and international sources of supply as well as the financial condition of its customers and the status of existing and future sales orders from them. The agreements also provide for the investors to receive additional shares of our common stock in the event the Company closes a subsequent offering of its common stock at a purchase price lower than $1.25 per share before April 14, 2021. The additional shares each investor would receive would be equal to the difference between the number of shares that would have been received at the reduced purchase price and the number of shares received at the $1.25 purchase price. The Company intends to use the proceeds from this placement for general working capital purposes.

On December 22, 2017,May 6, 2020, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was signed into law.Company received loan proceeds in the amount of $808,962 under the Paycheck Protection Program, or PPP, from Bank of America. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act will significantly change the taxation of U.S.-based multinational corporations, by, among other things, reducing the U.S. corporate income tax rate, adopting elements of a territorial tax system, affecting the deductibility of capital expenditures, assessing a one-time transition tax on earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries that were previously tax deferred, continuing the moratorium on Medical Device Excise Tax, and the creation of new taxes on certain foreign-sourced earnings. The legislation is unclear in some respects and will require interpretations and implementing regulations by the Internal Revenue Service,PPP, established as well as state tax authorities, and the legislation could be subject to potential amendments and technical corrections, any of which could lessen or increase certain adverse impactspart of the legislation.Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, or CARES Act, provides for loans to qualifying businesses for amounts up to 2.5 times of the average monthly payroll expenses of the qualifying business.

Overview

 

We have been developinga developer and manufacturingmanufacturer of advanced optical instruments since 1982. Today, the vast majority of our business is the design and manufacture of high-quality medical devices and less than 10% of our business is the design and manufacture of military and industrial products. Our medical instrumentation line includes traditional endoscopes and endocouplers as well as other custom imaging and illumination products for use in minimally invasive surgical procedures. Much of our recent development efforts have been targeted at the development of next generation endoscopes. OverFor 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.

Effective June 1, 2019 we acquired the operating assets of Ross Optical Industries, Inc. of El Paso, Texas, which we began operating as a division of our Company beginning on that date. The accompanying financial statements include the results of operations of the Ross Optical division for the entire nine and three-month periods ended March 31, 2020 and the assets and liabilities of the division as of June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2020. The acquisition of the assets of Ross Optical Industries effective June 1, 2019 expands our optics components and assemblies business. All products supplied by Ross Optical include a custom or catalog optic, which is sourced through Ross Optical’s extensive domestic and worldwide network of optical fabrication companies. Most systems make use of optical lenses, prisms, mirrors and windows and range from individual optical components to complex mechano-optical assemblies. Products often include thin film optical coatings that are applied using the in-house coating department. Approximately 75% of Ross Optical revenues are from customers in the United States, 8% from Western Europe and 7% from Canada during the nine months ended March 31, 2020. Ross Optical’s sales are mostly resale of specialized optical components with the remainder being assemblies. Ross Optical does not perform revenue generating engineering services or internal research and development. The majority of Ross Optical sales are for industrial applications with the remainder split between military and medical device products.

The Management Discussion and Analysis which follows is based on the financial condition and results of operations of our Company including the operating results for the three- and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2020 and the balance sheet as of June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2020 of our new division Ross Optical.

 

Our unique proprietary technologybusiness is the design and manufacture of high-quality medical devices. Approximately 12% of our revenue in the areasnine months ended March 31, 2020 is from the design, manufacture and resale of micro optical lensesproducts for military 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, 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. Thus, a portion of our revenues are now derived31% is from engineeringother industrial, non-medical products. Our medical instrumentation line and unique design services we performedand manufacturing capabilities include traditional endoscopes and endocouplers as well as other custom imaging and illumination products for our customersuse in minimally invasive surgical procedures. We design and manufacture 3D endoscopes and very small Microprecision™ lenses, assemblies and complete medical devices to incorporate our technologiesmeet the surgical community’s continuing demand for smaller, disposable, and capabilities into their medical device products. We believe that new products based on these technologies providemore enhanced imaging systems for existing surgical procedures and can enable development of many new medical device products and related medical procedures.minimally invasive surgery.

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

We believe that competition for sales Over the years and through the acquisition of our medical products and services, whichthe Ross Optical division in June 2019, we have been principally sold to original equipment manufacturers, or OEM, customers, is based on our ability to design and produce technical features, performance, engineering service and production scheduling, on-time delivery, quality control and product reliability, and competitive pricing.developed extensive experience collaborating with other optical specialists worldwide.

  

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, single-use endoscopes and 3D endoscopes.

 

The Ross Optical division sales are primarily optical components and assemblies for industrial applications in addition to medical and military uses. By combining the unique capabilities of our Company with the Ross Optical division we believe there are opportunities for expanded sales of each division products and services throughout the combined customer base. Additionally, we believe Ross’ expanded worldwide vendor relationships will benefit our traditional efforts to source materials at competitive prices for our development projects and manufacturing activities.

For the sixnine months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2017,2020, approximately 75%23% of our sales were made to seven customers. Of these, four were medium to large, international,our three largest customers representing 10%, 7% and 7% of our total sales, respectively. No other customer accounted for more than 4% our total sales during the nine months ended March 31, 2020. Our three largest customers during the quarter ended March 31, 2020 are all in the medical device industry. One represents engineering service revenue for an early-stage company, and the other two represent production revenue for companies commercializing a cardiovascular endoscope and one was a large defense contractor.an ENT scanning device. Each of these three products incorporates our Microprecision™ technologies as enabling design features. In addition to the three largest customers, has been our customer for numerous years. Thewe made sales to two hundred ninety-three other two customers were early-stage companies developing endoscopic products that incorporate our unique design capabilities. Sales to these seven customers included both products we developed over five years ago and products we are currently developing which rely heavily on our unique, proprietary Microprecision™ lens technology and optical visualization system expertise.during the nine-month period ended March 31, 2020. 

 

Current sales and marketing activities are intended to broaden awareness of the benefits of our new technology platforms which we believe are ready for generaland our successful application of these new technologies to medical device projects requiring surgery-grade visualization from sub-millimeter sized devices and 3D endoscopy.endoscopy, including single-use products and assemblies. 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 including Medical Design and Manufacturing West and MD&M East, and periodically 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. Our Ross Optical division markets through existing customers and trade shows, in addition to proactive online marketing strategies executed primarily through its website. We believe there are opportunities to expand the reach of sales activities of our business and that of our new division, Ross Optical, through the gradual integration of some of the sales and marketing resources of the two operations.

General

 

This management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our unaudited consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

  

There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies as disclosed in the Notes to our Financial Statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 20172019 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 28, 2017.26, 2019.

 

Results of Operations

 

Our total revenues for the quarter ended DecemberMarch 31, 2017,2020, were $812,773,$2,374,584, as compared to $601,590$1,386,454 for the same period in the prior year, an increase of $211,183,$988,130, or 35.1%71.3%. Revenues increased during the quarter ended DecemberMarch 31, 20172020 compared to the same quarter of the prior year inprimarily due to the engineering services and production categoriesrevenues of the Ross Optical division, which were $1,212,805 for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. Our non-Ross revenues decreased by 75% and 16%, 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 increase in production revenue$224,675 during the quarter ended DecemberMarch 31, 2017 when compared to2020 from their levels in the same quarterperiod of the prior year resulted primarily from an increase inyear. While the overall sales were negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, the mix of a traditional product to a long-standing customer. Engineeringengineering service, revenueproduction and component sales were similar between the quarters.

The COVID-19 world-wide pandemic that began during the quarter ended DecemberMarch 31, 2017, when compared2020 and the domestic and international impact of policy decisions being made in major countries around the world has had, and is expected to have, an adverse impact on our sources of supply, current and future orders from our customers, collection of amounts owed to us from our customers, our internal operating procedures, and our overall financial condition. While we and many of our medical device and defense contracting customers continue to operate as essential businesses, we have taken various actions to augment our operating and human resource policies and procedures to guard against the samepotential health hazards of COVID-19. These augmented procedures can have a negative impact on our operational efficiencies. We source various components from overseas suppliers throughout Asia, including China. During the quarter ended March 31, 2020, certain suppliers from China accelerated shipments to our Ross division in anticipation of pending shutdowns, which had a beneficial effect on our Ross sales. On the other hand, we also had supply disruptions and customer delays during the quarter causing the decrease in non-Ross sales mentioned above, which we believe were the result of the prior year includedCOVID-19 pandemic and related economic slow-down. We continue to communicate as closely as possible with our suppliers and customers to maintain a similar numbercurrent perspective on the future effects of projects, but increasesCOVID-19 on our business. Given the uncertainty surrounding the continuation of economic slow-downs domestically and abroad, we cannot predict with certainty at this time what the future impact of COVID-19 and resulting business and economic policies in revenue from two specific customers, one of which is now transitioning from the engineering to production phase. We believe most engineering design projects have the potential to generate production revenues whenUS and abroad will be on our customers achieve commercialization of the products under design.up-coming quarterly fiscal operating results.

 

Our total revenues for the sixnine months ended DecemberMarch 31, 20172020 were $1,841,519,$7,686,330, as compared to $1,451,138$4,423,763 for the same period in the prior year, an increase of $390,381,$3,262,567, or 26.9%73.8%. The increase in revenues forRevenues increased during the six month periodnine months ended DecemberMarch 31, 20172020 compared to the same period of the prior year resulted from increases in engineering and productionprimarily due to the revenues of 41% and 18%, respectively. The engineering revenue increasethe Ross Optical division, which were $3,454,493 for the nine months ended March 31, 2020. Our non-Ross revenues decreased by $191,926 during the quarternine months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2017 compared to2020 from their levels in the same period of the prior year resulted primarily from two large customer projects, oneas a result of which is now transitioning to production. These increases were partially offset by the previously mentioned loss of a customer’s Microprecision™ technology product in fiscal 2017. Production revenues increased duringCOVID-19 pandemic effects on the quarter ended DecemberMarch 31, 2017 compared to2020 as described above. While the same periodoverall sales were negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, the mix of engineering service, production and component sales were similar during the prior year due to the addition of an optical component project and a cyclical increase in traditional laryngoscopes.quarters.

Gross profit for the quarter ended DecemberMarch 31, 20172020 was $300,222,$817,019, compared to $148,407$455,936 for the same period in the prior year, reflecting an increase of $151,815,$361,083, or 102.3%79.2%. Gross profit for the quarter ended DecemberMarch 31, 20172020 as a percentage of our revenues was 36.9%34.4%, an increase from the gross profit percentage of 24.7%32.9% for the same period in the prior year. Gross profit for the sixnine months ended DecemberMarch 31, 20172020 was $686,964,$2,709,075, as compared to $315,458$1,274,165 for the same period in the prior year, which reflects an increase of $371,506$1,434,910 or 117.8%112.6%. Gross profit for the sixnine months ended DecemberMarch 31, 20172020 as a percentage of our revenues was 37.3%35.2%, an increase from the gross profit percentage of 21.7%28.8% 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 start-up costs, challenges in connection with new products. products, the effects of COVID-19 pandemic policy decisions on various economies and our suppliers and customers, as well as the effects on production efficiencies due to the augmented policies we have incorporated into our operations as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The improvementincrease in our gross profit performancedollars and gross profit percentage during the quarter and six month periodsnine-month period ended DecemberMarch 31, 2017 resulted from increased revenues absorbing a higher percentage of fixed manufacturing costs, and lower fixed compensation expense during the quarter. Management expects compensation costs to increase since new hires for these or similar positions are planned. Additionally, targeted or better margins were realized on most engineering and production projects during the quarter ended December 31, 2017, including the larger revenue projects in each category, due to experienced related efficiencies in producing traditional products and engineering development activities associated with Microprecision™ technologies.

Research and development expenses were $90,031 for the quarter ended December 31, 2017, compared to $119,215 for the same period in the prior year, a decrease of $29,184, or 24.5%. Research and development expenses were $208,458 for the six months ended December 31, 2017, compared to $236,207 for the same period in the prior year, a decrease of $27,749, or 11.7%. The decrease in research and development expenses during the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2017,2020 compared to the same periods of the prior year was primarily due to the inclusion of the Ross Optical division revenue at a higher gross margin percentage than we realize on non-Ross revenues. Ross Optical division revenues generated a gross margin percentage of 48-50% while non-Ross revenue margin was 24.0% for the nine months ended March 31, 2020. The non-Ross gross margin is dependent on a number of factors and is expected to fluctuate from quarter to quarter based on the nature and status of engineering projects. Specifically, periodic margins are impacted by revenue volume, facility utilization, product sales mix, and unanticipated cost over-runs associated with engineering projects, start-up production activities of new products, and the effects of COVID-19 pandemic policy decisions on various economies and our suppliers and customers as well as the effects on production efficiencies of the augmented policies we have incorporated into our operations as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. During the quarter ended March 31, 2020, a non-Ross engineering service project experienced cost over-runs that negatively impacted gross margins during the period and due to timing of milestone deliverables generated no revenue. The project negatively impacted the consolidated gross margin percentage by 3.3% during the quarter ended March 31, 2020. The cost over-runs resulted from design challenges and issues we are addressing and that we believe will only cause a temporary reductiondecrease in total realized gross margins. The remainder of our production and engineering department staffingjobs resulted in margins within our targeted range with reasonably expected fluctuations.

Research and a higher percentage of available engineering resources being consumed in revenue generating engagements with our customersdevelopment expenses were $319,875 for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, compared to $121,640 for the same period in the prior year, an increase of $198,235, or 163.0%. Research and development expenses were $700,605 for the nine months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $347,851 for the same period in the prior year, an increase of their products.$352,754, or 101.4%. In-house research and development and certain internal functions not directly related to customer engagements are classified as research and development expenses.expenses with the majority of our engineering, research and development activities being consumed in revenue generating engagements with our customers for the development of their products. During the quarter ended March 31, 2020 we had a larger staff of engineering personnel and a greater amount of our engineering personnel time was consumed in internal research and development activities; the product of which we believe will benefit various engineering design projects involving specialized fixturing and illumination features.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $270,035$962,591 for the quarter ended DecemberMarch 31, 2017,2020, compared to $342,487$414,475 for the same period in the prior year, an increase of $548,116, or 132.2%. The increase in the quarter ended March 31, 2020, compared to the same quarter of the prior fiscal year was due to the addition of $320,888 of selling, general and administrative expenses incurred by our Ross Optical division. Non-Ross selling, general and administrative expenses reflect a decrease$42,508 increase in stock-based compensation and service fees in the quarter ended March 31, 2020 compared to the same period of $72,452, or 21.2%. the prior year, and increases of $184,720 in compensation to existing and newly hired employees, advertising, tradeshows and professional fees.

The increase in the quarter and sixnine months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2017,2020, compared to the same periodsnine-month period of the prior fiscal year was due to the addition of $919,930 of selling, general and administrative expenses incurred by our Ross Optical division. Non-Ross selling, general and administrative expenses reflect a $2,505 decrease in stock-based compensation and service fees in the nine months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the same period of the prior year, was primarily dueand increases of $763,092 driven by higher compensation to reduced stock based compensation expense relating to stock optionsexisting and stock accrued for consulting services, plus reduced wages resulting from the retirement of a sales person in January 2017newly hired employees, advertising, tradeshows and a temporarily vacated administrative position which has since been filled. The expense reductions were partially offset by a $25,000 increase in the reserve for doubtful accounts receivable relating to one specific customer and increased sales commissions for a lesser amount.professional fees.

 

No income tax provision was recorded in the quarter and six month periods ended December, 2017 and 2016 because of the losses generated in those periods.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We have sustained recurring net losses for several years. During the quarteryear ended June 30, 2019 and six month periodsthe nine months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2017,2020 we incurred net losses of $60,326$614,871 and $89,111, respectively. We also incurred net losses of $1,006,457 and $1,034,765 during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and used cash in operating activities of $667,434 and $876,298 during the same fiscal periods,$1,103,065, respectively. As a result of Decemberour acquisition of the Ross Optical division, our revenue, gross margin and components of our working capital have increased. At March 31, 2017,2020 cash and cash equivalentswas $632,131, accounts receivables were $381,752, accounts receivable were $753,152,$1,479,077 and current liabilities were $1,529,694. Our working capital was $671,433$2,454,280, including $310,525 of customer advances received for future order deliveries.

Although our financial performance has improved during the last few fiscal quarters, our operating expenses have also increased and $479,604 at December 31, 2017we continue to experience pricing pressure from our customers and June 30, 2017, respectively.challenges in engineering projects and production orders that result in cost over-runs and depressed gross margins. Consequently, critical to our ability to maintain our financial condition is achieving and maintaining a level of quarterly revenues that generate break even or better financial performance as well as timely collection of accounts receivable from our customers. We believe profitable operating results can be achieved through a combination of revenue levels, realized gross margins and controlling operating expense increases, all of which are subject to periodic fluctuations resulting from sales mix and the stage of completion of varying engineering service projects as they progress towards and into production level revenues.

 

We have traditionally funded working capital needs through product sales, management of working capital components of our business, and by cash received from public and private offerings of our common stock, warrants to purchase shares of our common stock or convertible notes. We have incurred quarter to quarter operating losses duringnotes, and by customer advances paid against purchase orders and recorded in the current liabilities section of the accompanying financial statements. Our management believes that the opportunities represented by our efforts to develop current products includingproduction projects and engineering pipeline of Microprecision™ optical elements, micro medical camera assemblies and 3D endoscopes. Our management believes that the opportunities represented by these productsendoscope projects have the potential to generate sales increases to achieve sustained breakevenincreasing revenues and profitable financial results. However,

Although we believe the fundamentals of our currentoperations, business plans and opportunities can generate profitable financial results, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have resulted in a reduced level of sales in the quarter ended March 31, 2020 and an increase in our net loss. To enhance our financial condition may raise doubt regardingand our ability to continue as a going concern, as referenced bymanage future uncertainties resulting from COVID-19 and its effects, in April 2020 we entered into agreements with accredited investors for the Reportsale of 200,000 shares of our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on our financial statementscommon stock at $1.25 per share which generated $250,000 of proceeds available for the year ended June 30, 2017, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.general working capital purposes.

 

We recognize thatOn May 6, 2020, we received loan proceeds in the working capital described above and our cash and accounts receivable as of December 31, 2017 is low considering the level of cash historically used in our operations at our current sales levels. Our accounts receivable and cash balances are subject to significant fluctuations based on the timing and amount of customer billings$808,962 under the Paycheck Protection Program, or PPP, from Bank of America. The PPP, established as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and accounts receivable collectionsEconomic Security Act, or CARES Act, provides for loans to qualifying businesses for amounts up to 2.5 times of the average monthly payroll expenses of the qualifying business.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Management’s Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, including internal control over financial reporting, were not effective, as of DecemberMarch 31, 2017,2020, to ensure the information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (i) is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our disclosure controls and procedures are intended to be designed to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of DecemberMarch 31, 2017.2020.

  

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

 

Segregation of Duties: As previously disclosed in our Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008-2017,2008-2019, our management identified a control deficiency during the 2008 fiscal year because we lacked sufficient staff to segregate accounting duties. We believe the control deficiency resulted primarily because we have the equivalent of one and one-half persons performing all accounting-related on-site duties. As a result, we did not maintain adequate segregation of duties within our critical financial reporting applications, the related modules and financial reporting processes. This control deficiency could result in a misstatement of balance sheet and income statement accounts in our interim or annual consolidated financial statements that would not be detected. Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness. During the period beginning with fiscal year 2008 through June 30, 2017,2019, no audit adjustments resulting from this condition were required.

 

To address and remediate the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described above, beginning with the quarter ended September 30, 2008, we instituted a procedure whereby our Chief Executive Officer, our Chief Financial Officer and other members of our Board of Directors perform a higher level review of the quarterly and annual reports on Form 10-Q and Form 10-K prior to filing.

 

19

We believe that the step outlined above strengthens our internal control over financial reporting and mitigates the material weakness described above. As part of our assessment of internal control over financial reporting for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017,2019, our management has evaluated this additional control and has determined that it is operating effectively.

 

Inventory Valuation: As previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017,2019, we reported a material weakness with respect to the valuation of our inventories. Specifically, the amounts used to value our inventory at June 30, 2009 with respect to overhead rates and purchased items were often inconsistent with the supporting documentation, due to year-to-year changes in overhead rates and costs of purchased items that were not properly reflected in inventory valuation. Accordingly, management had determined that this control deficiency constituted a material weakness as of June 30, 2009. AuditPeriodic fiscal year end audit adjustments of approximately $58,000 and $41,000 to our audited financial statements as of June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2017, respectively, were$50,000 have been necessary as a result of this condition.

 

To address and remediate the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described above, beginning in the quarter ended September 30, 2009 and continuing through the quarter ended March 31, 2020, we implemented processes to improve our inventory controls and documentation surrounding inventory valuation for overhead rates, and performed procedures to ensure that the pricing of inventory items was consistent with the supporting documentation. We believe that the step outlined above strengthens our internal control over financial reporting and mitigates the material weakness described above.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

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

 

To address and remediate the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described above, beginning in the quarter ended September 30, 2009 and continuing through the quarter ended December 31, 2017, we implemented processes to improve our inventory controls and documentation surrounding inventory valuation for overhead rates, and performed procedures to ensure that the pricing of inventory items was consistent with the supporting documentation. We believe that the step outlined above strengthens our internal control over financial reporting and mitigates the material weakness described above.

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

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

 

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

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

 

Other than as described below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017,2019, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 28, 2017;26, 2019, and ourthe quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2017,December 31, 2019, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 14, 2017.

As of December 31, 2017, we may not have sufficient cash to continue operations for the next six to nine months.

As of December 31, 2017, we had $381,752 in cash and cash equivalents, $753,152 in accounts receivable, and $1,529,694 in current liabilities. We incurred net losses of $89,111 and $1,006,457 during the six months ended December 31, 2017 and the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, respectively. If quarterly sales revenues do not increase and maintain near or above cash breakeven levels in the next six to nine months, we may be required to obtain cash for operations from non-working capital sources, which may not be available, in which case we would have to significantly decrease or cease operations. 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, if necessary, 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.February 13, 2020.

On December 22, 2017,The COVID-19 world-wide pandemic that began during the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was signed into law. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act will significantly change the taxation of U.S.-based multinational corporations, by, among other things, reducing the U.S. corporate income tax rate, adopting elements of a territorial tax system, affecting the deductibility of capital expenditures, assessing a one-time transition tax on earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries that were previously tax deferred, continuing the moratorium on Medical Device Excise Tax,quarter ended March 31, 2020 and the creationdomestic and international impact of new taxes on certain foreign-sourced earnings.

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

 

On April 14, 2020, we entered into agreements with accredited investors for the sale and purchase of 200,000 shares of our common stock, $0.01 par value at a purchase price of $1.25 per share. We didreceived $250,000 in gross proceeds from the offering. The agreements also provide for the investors to receive additional shares of our common stock in the event we have a subsequent offering of our common stock at a purchase price lower than $1.25 per share before April 14, 2021. The additional shares an investor would receive would be equal to the difference between the number of shares that would have been received at the reduced purchase price and the number of shares received at the $1.25 purchase price. We intend to use the proceeds from this placement for general working capital purposes.

In conjunction with the placement, we also entered into a registration rights agreement with the investors, whereby we are obligated to file a registration statement with the Securities Exchange Commission on or before 120 calendar days after April 14, 2020 to register the resale by the investors of 200,000 shares of our common stock purchased in the placement.

We relied on the Section 4(a)(2) exemption from securities registration under the federal securities laws for transactions not issueinvolving any unregistered equitypublic offering. No advertising or general solicitation was employed in offering the securities. The securities duringwere issued to accredited investors. The securities were offered for investment purposes only and not for the quarter ended December 31, 2017.purpose of resale or distribution. The transfer thereof was appropriately restricted by us.

The agreements also provide for the investors to receive additional shares of our common stock in the event we close a subsequent offering of our common stock at a purchase price lower than $1.25 per share before April 14, 2021. The additional shares an investor would receive would be equal to the difference between the number of shares that would have been received at the reduced purchase price and the number of shares received at the $1.25 purchase price.

On May 6, 2020, we received loan proceeds in the amount of $808,962 under the Paycheck Protection Program, or PPP, from Bank of America. The PPP, established as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, or CARES Act, provides for loans to qualifying businesses for amounts up to 2.5 times of the average monthly payroll expenses of the qualifying business. The loans and accrued interest are forgivable after eight weeks as long as we use the loan proceeds for eligible purposes, including payroll, benefits, rent and utilities, and we maintain our payroll levels. The amount of loan forgiveness will be reduced if we terminate employees or reduce salaries during the eight-week period.

The unsecured loan, which is in the form of a note dated May 6, 2020, matures on May 6, 2022 and bears interest at a rate of 1% per annum, payable monthly commencing on December 6, 2020. The note may be prepaid at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. We intend to use the loan amount for eligible purposes, such as payroll expenses. While we currently believe that our use of the loan proceeds will meet the conditions for forgiveness of the loan, we cannot assure you that it will be eligible for forgiveness, in whole or in part.

One of our largest customers has delayed deliveries on its existing orders for endoscopes manufactured by us, due to the impact of COVID-19. In response to the elimination of elective surgeries over the last several months we have agreed with our customer to reduce monthly deliveries from 75 units a month to 20 units per month from May 1, 2020 until February 28, 2021. This reduction will have a revenue impact of approximately $190,000 per quarter. We anticipate that delivery rates will return back to the original contract levels of 75 units per month in the third fiscal quarter of 2021. The total number of units on the purchase order remains unchanged.
