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)“Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, without audit, and reflect normal recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results of the third quarter and nine months of the Company’s fiscal year 2022.2023. 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, 2021,2022, together with the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm filed under cover of the Company’s 20212022 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 28, 2021.27, 2022.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to conform the prior period consolidated financial statements to the current period.

Reverse Stock Split

The Company’s Board of Directors authorized a reverse split of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock within a stated range of 1:1.5 to 1:3, which was subsequently approved by stockholders holding more than a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock at the Company’s Annual Meeting on April 8, 2022. The Company effected the reverse stock split on a one-for-three basis on November 1, 2022 as reported by the Company on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 2, 2022.

As a result of the reverse stock split, every three shares of issued and outstanding common stock were automatically combined into one issued and outstanding share of common stock, without any change in the par value per share or the number of the Company’s authorized shares. The reverse stock split reduced the number of shares of common stock outstanding from 16,915,089 on November 1, 2022 to approximately 5,638,302 shares, after reduction for the elimination of fractional shares.

Unless otherwise noted, all prior year share amounts and per share calculations throughout this Form 10-Q have been restated to reflect the impact of this 1:3 reverse stock split and to provide data on a comparable basis. Such restatements include calculations regarding the Company’s weighted-average shares, and earnings per share, as well as disclosures regarding the Company’s stock-based compensation plans.

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.

 

Revision of the Second Quarter 2022 Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company identified an error in the valuation of 2,500,000 shares of common stock issued on October 4, 2021 in the business acquisition described in Note 2 resulting in an $825,000 overstatement of Additional Paid-In Capital and Goodwill in the December 31, 2021 balance sheet presented in the quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2021. This change does not impact the number of shares issued as part of the transaction; it only changes the imputed value of the common stock issued. The financial statements for the prior interim fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2021 have been revised by an $825,000 adjustment to the opening balance of Additional Paid-In Capital in the accompanying Statement of Stockholders Equity for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, and by an adjustment of Goodwill at the acquisition date as described in Note 2. No profit and loss accounts in the current or prior interim periods are affected by this revision.

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 (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. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the effect of such securities was antidilutive and not included in the fully diluted calculation because of the net loss generated during those periods.

The number of shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options that were excluded from the computation as their effect was antidilutive was 2,817,5001,058,630 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022,2023, respectively, and 15,000939,166 and 260,000 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, respectively.2022.

 

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.

 

8

Goodwill and Patents

 

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 book value of the asset may not be recoverable. Impairment of the 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 generated by the asset 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 loss. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. NaNNo such impairments of goodwill or patents have been estimated by management as of March 31, 2022.2023.

 

2.REVISION OF THE FIRST AND SECOND QUARTER FISCAL YEAR 2023 UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

During the third quarter of fiscal year 2023, the Company identified errors in the accrual of certain costs for the fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2022, which resulted in an understatement of accounts payable and costs of goods sold for those two quarters. The corrections of these errors impacted the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the first and second quarters of fiscal year 2023. The Company assessed the applicable guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and concluded these misstatements were not material, individually or in the aggregate, to its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the aforementioned interim periods. However, because of the significance of these items, and to facilitate comparisons among periods, the Company decided to revise the previously issued first and second quarter unaudited condensed consolidated financial information by increasing accounts payable and cost of goods sold by $85,213 and 125,752 in the quarters ended September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2022, respectively. These quarterly and year to date financial statements will be revised in subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission that include such statements, including when the first and second quarter Form 10-Q’s are filed for fiscal year 2024.

Accumulated deficit at January 1, 2023 in the accompanying statement of stockholders’ equity for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 was made larger by $210,965 due to the effects of the increased expense accruals for the first and second quarters of fiscal year 2023.

9.REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

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 exclusivelywith over 93% of all revenues to customers 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.contracts. 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.revenue.

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, 2022,2023, there were no contract assets recorded in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

  

The Company’s contract liabilities arise from 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.

10.9.COVID-19 PANDEMIC

 

The COVID-19 world-wide 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 could continue to have, an adverse impact on the Company’s sources of supply, current and future orders from its customers, collection of amounts owed to the Company from its customers, its internal operating procedures, and the Company’s overall financial condition. Given the uncertainty surrounding the continuation of economic impacts both 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 up-coming quarterly fiscal operating results.

Overview

 

We have been a developer and manufacturer of advanced optical instruments since 1982. 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. We selectively execute internal research and development programs to develop next generation capabilities for designing and manufacturing 3D endoscopes and very small MicroprecisionTM lenses, anticipating future requirements as the surgical community continues to demand smaller and more enhanced imaging systems for minimally invasive surgery.

 

As Ross Optical Industries of El Paso, Texas we also operate as a supplier of custom optical components and assemblies for military and defense, medical and various other industrial applications. All products sold by us under the Ross Optical name include a custom or catalog optic, which is sourced through our 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 our in-house coating department.

 

As Lighthouse Imaging of Windham, Maine we also operate as a manufacturer of advanced optical imaging systems and accessories. We have a strong expertise in electrical engineering and development of end-to-end medical visualization devices. Product development competencies at Lighthouse Imaging include Systems, Optical, Mechanical, Electrical and Process Development Engineering. Our product development team has extensive experience developing visualization systems that are used in a variety of clinical applications. Lighthouse Imaging is an industry leader in chip on tip visualization systems.

 

Approximately 34%30% our business during the nine months ended March 31, 20222023 is from engineering services primarily(primarily relating to the design of medical device optical assemblies, 45%assemblies), 49% from the sale of both internally manufactured and purchased optical components, and 21%18% from the manufacture of optical assemblies and sub-assemblies primarily(primarily for medical device instrument applications.applications). Our proprietary medical instrumentation line, unique custom design and manufacturing capabilities, and expert electrical engineering and development hasservices have generated orders for traditional proprietary endoscopes and endocouplers as well as otherfor custom imaging and illumination products for our customers’ use in minimally invasive surgical procedures. We design and manufacture 3D endoscopes and very small MicroprecisionTM lenses, assemblies and complete medical devices to meet the surgical community’s continuing demand for smaller, disposable, and more enhanced imaging systems for minimally invasive surgery.

15

 

We are registered to the ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 13485:2016 Quality Standards and comply with the FDA Good Manufacturing Practices and the European Union Medical Device Directive for CE marking of our medical products.

Investors and others should note that we announce material financial information using our company websites (www.poci.com; www.rossoptical.com; www.lighthouseoptics.com), our investor relations website, SEC filings, press releases, public conference calls and webcasts. Information about Precision Optics, our business, and our results of operations may also be announced by social media posts on our Ross Optical and Lighthouse LinkedIn pages (www.linkedin.com/company/ross-optical-industries/) (https://www.linkedin.com/company/lighthouse-imaging-corporation/) and Twitter feed (http://twitter.com/rossoptical) and on our Lighthouse Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/lighthouseoptics/).

 

The information that we post on these social media channels could be deemed to be material information. Therefore, we encourage investors, the media, and others interested in Precision Optics to review the information that we post on these social media channels.

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-effective production. Over the years we have 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 MicroprecisionTM optics, micro medical cameras, illumination, single-use endoscopes and 3D endoscopes.

    

Current sales and marketing activities are intended to broaden awareness of the benefits of our new technology platforms and our successful application of these new technologies to medical device projects requiring surgery-grade visualization from sub-millimeter sized devices and 3D 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 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. Our Ross Optical division markets through existing customers and trade shows, in addition to proactive online marketing strategies executed primarily through its website.

 

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.

   

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, 20212022 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 28, 2021.27, 2022.

The COVID-19 world-wide 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 could continue 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. Given the uncertainty surrounding the continuation of economic impacts both 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 the US and abroad will be on our up-coming quarterly fiscal operating results.

 

Gross profit for the quarter ended March 31, 20222023 was $1,728,209,$1,736,098, compared to $818,024$1,728,209 for the same period in the prior year, an increase of $910,185, or 111.3%.$7,889.

Quarterly gross profit and gross profit percentage depend on a number of factors, including overall sales volume, facility utilization, product sales mix, the costs of engineering services, and production start-up costs and challenges in connection with new 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.

 

Our gross marginprofit on individual engineering projects is dependent on a number of factors and is expected to fluctuate from quarter to quarter based on the number of new engineering projects, the nature and status of engineering projects, unanticipated cost over-runs, design challenges and changes, start-up production activities, or other customer-imposed project changes or delays. Our increase in gross marginprofit dollars during the quarternine months ended March 31, 20222023 compared to the same periods in the previous years was primarily due to inclusion of the Lighthouse division since its acquisition on October 4, 2021, an increaseOther fluctuations in medical devise manufacturing revenue,gross profit dollars and improved efficienciesmargins in engineering projects, which is partially offset by inclusionthe quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2023 when compared to the same periods of the Lighthouse division engineering and production revenues at overall margins lower thanprior fiscal year are considered customary considering the Ross Optical division revenues.

In-house research and development and certain internal functions not directly related to customer engagements are classified as research and development 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 and nine months ended March 31, 2022 we had an increase in research and development costs due to the inclusion of the Lighthouse division offset by a greater amount of our engineering personnel time consumed in customer focused2023 compared to the same periods of the prior fiscal year.year we had an increase in personnel, and an increase in research and development costs incurred in the development of internal research and development efforts and projects.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We have sustained recurring net losses from operations for several years. During the quarter ended and nine months ended March 31, 2023 we incurred operating losses of $493,268 and 24,005, respectively. During the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 we had a net lossincurred operating losses of $1,197,713$1,513,890 and used cash in operating activities of $879,967.$905,583, respectively. At March 31, 2022,2023, cash was $831,585,$612,095, accounts receivables were $3,347,692$4,389,907 and current liabilities were $5,770,887,$6,494,885, including $1,018,275$1,387,806 of customer advances received for future order deliveries.

 

Although our revenue and gross margin have increased, due to the acquisition of the Lighthouse division, our operating expenses have also increased, and we continue to experience pricing pressure from our customers and challenges in engineering projects and production orders that can result in cost over-runs and depressed gross margins. We also experience added uncertainty related to our vendors ability to supply materials and our customers future order levels as a result of the economic impact the COVID-19 world-wide pandemic and related jurisdictional policies and regulations and lingering supply-chain issues. 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 marginsprofits 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, cash received from public and private offerings of our common stock, warrants to purchase shares of our common stock or convertible notes, manufacturing equipment leases, 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 MicroprecisionTM optical elements, micro medical camera assemblies and 3D endoscopes. Our management believes that the opportunities represented by these technical capabilities and related products have the potential to generate sales increases to achieve breakeven and profitable results.

 

OnIn connection with our October 4, 2021 we acquired the assetsacquisition of Lighthouse Imaging, LLC as described in note 2. Business Acquisition to the accompanying financial statements in this Form 10-Q. To finance the cash portion of the acquisition price we entered into a $2,600,000 bank term loan, and sold shares of our common stock for gross proceeds of $1,500,000. We also secured a $250,000 bank line of credit from the same bank onin October 4, 2021 for working capital needs, upon which was increased to $500,000 in May 2022.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

ManagementsManagement’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 includingwere not effective as of March 31, 2023, because of a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting described below. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, were effective assuch that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Material Weakness Identified; Remedial Steps Being Taken

During our review of the results for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2023, errors were identified in the Company’s accruals of costs associated with services provided by third-party contractors on certain development projects. Those errors caused an understatement of costs of goods sold for the quarters ended September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2022, for which we have concluded such error is not material to ensurethose previously reported financial statements. However, because of the significance of these items, and to facilitate comparisons among periods, the Company decided to revise the previously issued first and second quarter unaudited condensed consolidated financial information we are requiredby increasing accounts payable and cost of goods sold by $85,213 and $125,752 in the quarters ended September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Such quarterly and year to disclosedate financial statements will be revised in reports that we file or submit undersubsequent filings with 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 rulesthat include such statements.

To address and forms,remediate the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described above, we have implemented processes to improve our accounts payable controls and (ii) is accumulateddocumentation for the recognition of costs incurred for services performed by outside contractors and communicatedmatching those costs, when applicable, to fiscal periods in which those services are billed to our management, includingcustomers. Specifically, we have implemented procedures to document the receipt of non-physical work product by our outside contractors, accrue for services performed by outside contractors when vendor invoices for such services have not yet been received, and to review billings to customers to ensure related contractor billings are expensed in the same period. Our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer as appropriatewill monitor such accruals in future quarters to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our disclosure controls and procedures are intended to be designed to provide reasonable assuranceconfirm that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management. Based on this evaluation, our management concludedthese steps have properly remediated the material weakness in the timing of third-party expense accruals. We believe that the steps outlined above strengthen our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of March 31, 2022.and mitigate the material weakness described above.

    

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

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

Election to Waive Application of Mandatory Staggered Board Provision in Massachusetts General Laws Section 8.06(b)

On May 13, 2022, our board elected to be exempt from the provisions of Section 8.06(b) of the Massachusetts General Laws and to declassify the current board. Section 8.06(b) of the Massachusetts General Laws provides that the board of every public Massachusetts corporation shall be staggered by dividing the number of directors into three groups, as nearly equal in number as possible; the term of office of those of the first group, ''Class I Directors'', to continue until the first annual meeting following the date such public corporation becomes subject to this subsection and until their successors are elected and qualified; the term of office of those of the second group, ''Class II Directors'', to continue until the second annual meeting following the date the public corporation becomes subject to this subsection and until their successors are elected and qualified; and the term of office of those of the third group, ''Class III Directors'', to continue until the third annual meeting following the date such public corporation becomes subject to this subsection and until their successors are elected and qualified. Accordingly, and in accordance with our bylaws, prior to the waiver our board was staggered into three classes of directors.Not applicable.

Amendments of the Bylaws

On May 13, 2022, our board adopted an amendment to our amended and restated bylaws. Previously, our bylaws had not been amended since 2014.

The material changes to our bylaws comprise the following:

-Annual meeting of stockholders

We made several clarifying changes, such as specifying that a majority of the board can call special meetings of stockholders and that such meetings can be postponed or rescheduled by the board.

Under the new bylaws, notice of meetings of stockholders must now be given at least ten days nor more than 60 days before the meeting, instead of at least seven days before the meeting. The notice may now also explicitly be given by electronic means. If the stockholders meeting is rescheduled or adjourned, the new bylaws clarify that no new notice need be given, unless the adjournment is for more than 30 days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting. The new bylaws state, that if a quorum initially is present at any meeting of stockholders, the stockholders may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum, but if quorum is not present at least initially, no business other than the adjournment may be transacted.

We added a provision that a stockholder may revoke any proxy that is not irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in person, by filing with the secretary an instrument in writing revoking the proxy or by granting another duly executed proxy bearing a later date.

We also added a new provision giving the board or the presiding officer at the meeting the power to appoint an inspector of election.

Further, we added a new provision regarding stockholder proposals and nominations, specifically who can make such proposals, what information must be submitted, when and where to direct such proposals.

-Board of Directors

Regarding the composition of the board, we dropped the maximum number of seats on the board leaving the decision up to the board. Further, the power to decrease or increase the board and to fill vacancies now rests solely with the board and not with the shareholders or the board alternatively. We further decided to declassify the board and have all directors stand for election at each annual meeting of stockholders. Notices for board meeting can now be transmitted electronically instead of by telegram. In addition, we added a provision to clarify that the board has the power to fix its remuneration, which may include reimbursement of expenses, salaries or attendance fees and can comprise cash or equity. The new bylaws also explicitly authorize us to purchase and maintain D&O insurance.

-Officers

We updated the outdated terms of clerk and assistant clerk to secretary and assistant secretary, respectively. Further, we specified that the board has the power to elect the officers from time to time and deleted the dated reference to the incorporators or an election after each annual meeting. Thus, the tenure of each officers extends until the board has chosen, elected and qualified a successor.

-Shares

Regarding stock certificates, the new bylaws state that shares may be uncertificated or represented by certificate, as before, and removed the entitlement for stockholders to request certificates. Further, in order to replace lost, destroyed or stolen certificates, the bylaws specify that we may now request documentation, indemnification or security to protect against claims.

-Amendments of the Bylaws

The new bylaws removed the prohibition that the directors may not provide for indemnification of the board or amend the section on amendments to the bylaws.
