ITEM 1.  BUSINESS.

Overview

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

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 (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. While we have manufactured Microprecision™ components for the last few years, we only recently received production orders for endoscopes and camera assemblies that use our Microprecision™ technology.

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.

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 and micro medical cameras, as well as 3D endoscopes currently represent competitive advantages for us in the minimally invasive surgical device market.

Market Opportunities

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

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

Sales and Marketing

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

International Business

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

Research and Development

We believe that our future success depends to a large degree on our ability to continue to conceive and develop new optical products and technologies to enhance the performance characteristics and methods of manufacture of existing and new products. Research and development expenses are incurred on our own proprietary products and technology such as Microprecision™ optics, micro medical cameras and 3D endoscopes, as well as on certain custom projects on behalf of our customers. Accordingly, we expect to continue to seek to obtain product-related design and development contracts with customers and to invest our own funds in research and development. For the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, research and development expenses, net amounted to $471,106 and $630,294, respectively. For the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, research and development expenses were net of reimbursement from customers of related costs of $45,997 and $87,496, respectively.

Raw Materials and Principal Suppliers

A key raw material component for our products is precision grade optical glass, which we obtain from a few suppliers, principally SCHOTT North America, Inc. and Ohara Corporation. For optical thin film coatings, the basic raw materials we utilize are metals and dielectric compounds, which we obtain from a variety of chemical suppliers. Certain of the thin film coatings utilized in our products are currently procured from an outside supplier, but most thin film coatings are produced in-house. We believe that our demand for these raw materials and thin film coating services is small relative to the total supply and that the materials and services required for the production of our products are currently available in sufficient production quantities and will remain available for at least the next twelve months.

Patents and Trademarks

We rely, in part, upon patents, trade secrets and proprietary knowledge as well as personnel policies and employee confidentiality agreements concerning inventions and other creative efforts to develop and maintain our competitive position. We plan to file for patents, copyrights and trademarks in the United States and in other appropriate countries to protect our intellectual property rights to the greatest extent practicable. We currently hold rights to thirteen United States patents, and have five 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:

The patents contained in our current patent portfolio have expiration dates ranging from October 2015 to August 2026. 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 and micro medical cameras and to aggressively pursue patent protection for such developments.

Employees

As of June 30, 2014, we had 39 employees, 37 of which were full-time employees. There were 25 employees in manufacturing, 5 in engineering/research and development, 1 in sales and marketing and 8 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 2014 and 2013 were as follows:

No other customer accounted for more than 10% of our revenues in fiscal years 2014 and 2013. At June 30, 2014, receivables from our three largest customers were 30%, 17% and 11%, respectively, of total accounts receivable.

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.

ITEM 1A.  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 this Annual Report. 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 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, 2014, our three largest customers represented approximately 21%, 21% and 14%, respectively, of our total revenues. In the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, our two largest customers represented approximately 54% and 13%, respectively, of our total revenues. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of our revenues during those periods. At June 30, 2014, receivables from our three largest customers were 30%, 17% 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, 2014, receivables from our three largest customers were 30%, 17% and 11%, respectively, of the total accounts receivable. While we believe we have a varied customer base and have experienced strong collections in the past, we may experience changes in our customer base, including reductions in purchasing commitments, which could also have a material adverse effect on our revenues and liquidity. We have not purchased insurance on our accounts receivable balances.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Like any manufacturer, we are and always have been exposed to liability claims resulting from the use of our products. We maintain product liability insurance to cover us in the event of liability claims, and as of September 23, 2014, 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:

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:

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

Trading in our securities is subject to the SEC’s “penny stock” rules and it is anticipated 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, 2014, there were 409,087 shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options outstanding, at a weighted average exercise price of $4.49 per share. As of June 30, 2014, a total of 117,200 shares and 27,198 shares, respectively, of our common stock, are reserved for issuance under our 2011 and 2006 Equity Incentive Plans.. As of June 30, 2014, there are also warrants outstanding for the issuance of an aggregate of an additional 2,983,752 shares of our common stock, at a weighted average exercise price of $1.25 per share. Moreover, we expect to issue additional shares and options to purchase shares of our common stock to compensate employees, consultants and directors, and we may issue additional shares to raise capital. Any such issuances will have the effect of further diluting the interest of the holders of our securities.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES.

We conduct our domestic operations at two facilities in Gardner, Massachusetts. The main Gardner facility is leased from a corporation owned by Mr. Richard E. Forkey, who resigned from our board of directors on July 9, 2014, but continues to be involved with our Company as the Founder and Director Emeritus. The lease terminated in December 1999 and we are currently a tenant-at-will, paying rent of $9,000 per month. We rent the other Gardner facility on a month-to-month basis. We also rent office space in Hong Kong for sales, marketing and supplier quality control and liaison activities related to our Hong Kong subsidiary.

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

ITEM 3.  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, other than as set forth above.

ITEM 7.  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 Annual Report on Form 10-K. 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.

Overview

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 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. For the last ten years, we have funded internal research and development programs to develop next generation capabilities for designing and manufacturing 3D endoscopes and very small Microprecision™ lenses, anticipating future requirements as the surgical community continues to demand smaller and more enhanced imaging systems for minimally invasive surgery. Our unique proprietary technology in these areas, combined with recent developments in the areas of 3D displays and millimeter sized image sensors, has allowed us to begin commercialization of these technologies. We believe that new products based on these technologies provide enhanced imaging for existing surgical procedures and can enable development of many new procedures.

We are registered to the ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 13485:2003 Quality Standards and comply with the FDA Good Manufacturing Practices and the European Union Medical Device Directive for CE marking of our medical products. Our internet website is www.poci.com. Information on our website is not intended to be integrated into this report.

The areas in which we do business are highly competitive and include both foreign and domestic competitors. Many of our competitors are larger and have substantially greater resources than we do. Furthermore, other domestic or foreign companies, some with greater financial resources than we have, may seek to produce products or services that compete with ours. We routinely outsource specialized production efforts as required to obtain the most cost effective production. Over the years, we have achieved extensive experience collaborating with other optical specialists worldwide and since the 1990s, we have maintained a Hong Kong subsidiary to support business and quality control activities as required throughout Asia.

We believe that competition for sales of our medical products and services, which have been principally sold to original equipment manufacturer , or OEM, customers, is based on performance and other technical features, as well as other factors, such as scheduling and reliability, in addition to competitive price.

We believe that our future success depends to a large degree on our ability to continue to conceive and to develop new optical products and services to enhance the performance characteristics and methods of manufacture of existing products. Accordingly, we expect to continue seeking and obtaining product-related design and development contracts with customers and to selectively invest our own funds on research and development, particularly in the areas of Microprecision™ optics, micro medical cameras and 3D endoscopes.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our critical accounting policies are included in the Notes to our Financial Statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Results of Operations for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2014 as Compared to the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2013

Total revenues for fiscal year 2014 were $3,651,181, an increase of $1,131,438, or 44.9%, from revenues for fiscal year 2013 of $2,519,743. The increase in revenues for fiscal year 2014 as compared to the prior year was due to higher unit volume sales of endocouplers, endoscopes, micro optics and initial sales of scanning otoscopes and 120 degree fiber scopes, which was partially offset by lower unit volume sales of the advanced surgical visualization system used in spinal surgery.

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

No other customer accounted for more than 10% of our revenues in fiscal years 2014 and 2013.

Gross profit for fiscal year 2014 of $800,795 reflected an increase of $146,367 as compared to gross profit for fiscal year 2013 of $654,428. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues for fiscal year 2014 was 21.9% as compared to gross profit as a percentage of revenues for fiscal year 2013 of 26.0%. The decrease in our gross profit percentage was due primarily to less favorable product mix and certain nonrecurring manufacturing startup expenses related to the introduction of new products, which was partially offset by higher overall unit sales volume.

Research and development expenses, net were $471,106 for fiscal year 2014 as compared to $630,294 for fiscal year 2013. The decrease of $159,188, or 25.3%, for fiscal year 2014 as compared to the prior year was due primarily to lower spending on research and development related efforts. Research and development expenses depend on our assessment of new product opportunities and available resources. Research and development expenses were net of reimbursement from customers of related costs of $45,997 during fiscal year 2014 and $87,496 during fiscal year 2013.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $242,302, or 19.2 %, to $1,503,443 for fiscal year 2014 as compared to $1,261,141 for fiscal year 2013. The increase for fiscal year 2014 was primarily due to higher legal, consulting, stock-based compensation, and selling expenses.

The gain on sale of assets and other in fiscal years 2014 and 2013 of $14,028 and $4,498, respectively, represents primarily the sale of previously written off assets for proceeds of $14,028 and $4,498, respectively.

In December 2012, we settled $106,149 of accounts payable with a vendor for a negotiated payment of $30,000, and recorded a gain of $76,149. The gain is included within other income in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for fiscal year 2013.  

The income tax provisions in fiscal years 2014 and 2013 represent the minimum statutory state income tax liability.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We believe the following technology areas continue to represent significant opportunities for our future sales growth:

We compete in a highly technical, very competitive and in most cases, price driven segment of the medical instrument marketplace where products can take years to develop and introduce to distributors and end users. Furthermore, research and development, manufacturing, marketing and distribution activities are strictly regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, International Organization for Standardization, or ISO and other regulatory bodies that, while intended to enhance the ultimate quality and functionality of products produced, can contribute to the significant cost and time needed to maintain existing products, and to develop and introduce product enhancements and new product innovations.

We have traditionally funded working capital needs through product sales, management of working capital components of our business, and by cash received from public and private offerings of our common stock, warrants to purchase shares of our common stock or convertible notes. We have incurred quarter to quarter operating losses during our efforts to develop current products including Microprecision™ optical elements, micro medical camera assemblies and 3D endoscopes. Our management expects that such operating losses will continue until sales increase to breakeven and profitable levels. Our management also believes that the opportunities represented by these products have the potential to generate sales increases to achieve breakeven and profitable results.

Until we achieve breakeven and profitable results, we will be required to pursue several options to manage cash flow and raise capital, including issuing debt or equity or entering into a strategic alliance. The sale of additional equity or convertible debt securities would result in additional dilution to our current stockholders, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants that could restrict our operations or finances. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If we 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.

During the year ended June 30, 2014, we incurred a net loss from operations of $1,159,726 and used cash in operating activities of $886,031. As of June 30, 2014, cash and cash equivalents were $202,380, accounts receivable were $531,049, and current liabilities were $1,095,877. As of June 30, 2013, cash and cash equivalents were $1,034,587, accounts receivable were $278,700, and current liabilities were $592,886.

On July 1 through July 7, 2014, we closed agreements with institutional and accredited investors for the sale and purchase of 1,717,152 shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of $0.60 per share. We received $1,030,291 in gross proceeds from the offering. We anticipate using the net proceeds from this placement for general working capital purposes. Of this amount, $50,000 was received in June 2014 and the remainder was received in July 2014.

Capital equipment expenditures during fiscal year 2014 and fiscal year 2013 were $1,680 and $11,061, respectively. Future capital equipment expenditures will be dependent upon future sales and success of on-going research and development efforts.

Contractual cash commitments for the fiscal years subsequent to June 30, 2014 are summarized as follows:

We have contractual cash commitments related to open purchase orders as of June 30, 2014 of approximately $221,000.

Trends and Uncertainties That May Affect Future Results

We are excited about the continued development, commercialization, and market acceptance of our new products and technical innovations based upon our unique proprietary technology. For the year ended June 30, 2014, approximately 75% of our sales were made to our top six customers. Of these, two are large, international, medical device companies who have been our customers for many years. Both of these customers continue to purchase products that we developed over five years ago, and both now purchase new poducts that were developed and launched into production by us more recently. The other four top customers purchase products that we developed in just the last couple years, and which rely heavily on our unique, proprietary Microprecision™ lens technology and optical visualization system expertise.

In April 2012, we accepted an order from one of these new customers to purchase endoscopes for a total purchase amount of $1,032,000. We have now completed pre-production activities and recently began production shipments against this order, which relies heavily on our proprietary Microprecision™ technology. During the last year, we have supplied engineering and manufacturing services to another of these new customers, who is developing next generation otoscope devices used for the treatment of ears. We have delivered pre-production otoscopes, which have performed well during testing by our customer. We continue to sell engineering and manufacturing services to this customer and expect to ultimately manufacture this product when it is released to production in the next 9 to 12 months. Also during the last year, we provided two of our largest customers with new optical lenses and prisms with small sizes, enabled by our proprietary Microprecision™ technology.

We continue to work with new customers to lay the groundwork for future products. During fiscal 2014, we provided design and engineering services to a major consumer and professional electronics and camera manufacturer to develop a new 3D adapter for use with ophthalmologic microscopes for use in eye treatments. Utilizing our extensive experience and proprietary design approaches for 3D visualization, we have delivered pre-production units that our customer demonstrated to leaders in the ophthalmologic community with very positive response. We received an initial order for production units of this device in July 2014 and are beginning production now.

During fiscal 2014, we began work with two additional customers and continued work with an existing customer to provide design and engineering services for devices that are enabled by our Microprecision™ lenses and proprietary technology for the design and manufacture of small cameras for use in medical applications. For one of these projects, we have begun high volume production. The other two are expected to begin production in the next 12 months.

We have also focused recent operational efforts on sales and marketing activities 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 handheld 3D endoscopy. We continue to attend trade shows to announce our new technology, most recently at the Medical Design & Manufacturing East show in New York City in June 2014. During fiscal year 2014, we advertised, for the first time, through a business-to-business e-commerce platform. Photonics Online, www.photonicsonline.com, has a target audience of optical engineering design and manufacturing professionals and has over 34,000 subscribers to their monthly email newsletter. Because of the increased awareness of our new technology generated by our presence at trade shows, advertising on Photonics Online and direct email messages to our own customer database that we have built over the last 30 years, we have more than doubled the rate that we received requests for quotes during fiscal year 2014. As we begin fiscal year 2015, we are continuing to build on recent successes in this area by continuing the activities summarized above while adding additional advertising through a second business-to-business e-commerce platform, Med Device Online, www.meddeviceonline.com, which targets technical professionals working in the medical device industry.

Due to the introductory stage of many of our new products and the unpredictable timing of orders from customers, it is difficult to predict with certainty the detailed rate of future revenue growth. As summarized above, we have received significant new orders for a number of new products which rely on our Microprecision™ lens technology and associated capabilities. We believe these orders will help to increase our revenues in future quarters. Also, we expect that current discussions with existing and new potential customers could lead to increases in our revenues. To continue to support orders for new products as well as ongoing and future discussions, we intend to continue to develop and commercialize new products and technical innovations, including:

Over the past few years, we have implemented significant changes in new product and technology development by shifting the emphasis of research and development efforts from developing underlying technologies to commercializing the applications of these new technologies. These efforts have already been realized to some degree in the area of Microprecision™ lenses with ongoing shipments now in place, including shipments against orders for micro medical camera assemblies. While most of our current orders for Microprecision™ lenses support medical applications, we are now beginning to explore additional applications including those in the defense and surveillance markets.

We have also developed and manufactured prototypes of a new 3D endoscope with high definition quality imaging and 10 mm diameter for use in general laparoscopic surgery. This next generation 3D endoscope has been evaluated by a number of medical professionals and has been received enthusiastically. We believe that with the advent of commercially available high quality flat panel 3D displays, handheld 3D endoscopy represents an opportunity for sales growth for our Company. In addition, the technology we have developed for 3D endoscopy can also be used for 3D monitor-based visualization through surgical microscopes.

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.

ITEM 8.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA.

Index to Financial Statements

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Precision Optics Corporation, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Precision Optics Corporation, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of June 30, 2014 and 2013 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

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

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Precision Optics Corporation, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2014 and 2013 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

PRECISION OPTICS CORPORATION, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(1)           SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a)           Nature of Business

Precision Optics Corporation, Inc. (the “Company”) designs, develops, manufactures and sells specialized optical systems and components and optical thin-film coatings. The Company conducts business in one industry segment only and its customers are primarily domestic. The Company’s products and services fall into two principal areas: (i) medical products for use by hospitals and physicians; and (ii) advanced optical system design and development services and 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 “Revenues” section of the Company’s consolidated statement of operations, while shipping costs are classified in the “selling, general and administrative expenses” section of the Company’s consolidated statement of operations.

(d)           Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company includes in cash equivalents all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of acquisition. Cash and cash equivalents of $202,380 and $1,034,587 at June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, consist primarily of cash at banks and money market funds. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in bank deposit accounts that, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on its cash and cash equivalents.

(e)           Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market and include material, labor and manufacturing overhead. The components of inventories at June 30, 2014 and 2013 are as follows:

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.

During fiscal year 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded a pre-tax non-cash provision for slow-moving and obsolete inventories of $0 and $19,337, respectively.

(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:

Depreciation expense was $19,168 and $20,970 for the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

(g)           Significant Customers and Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. The Company places its investments with highly rated financial institutions. The Company has not experienced any losses on these investments to date. At June 30, 2014, receivables from the Company’s three largest customers were 30%, 17% and 11% of the total accounts receivable. At June 30, 2013, receivables from the Company’s three largest customers were 26%, 24% and 12%, of the total accounts receivable. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s receivables as of June 30, 2014 and 2013. The Company has not experienced any material losses related to accounts receivable from individual customers. The Company generally does not require collateral or other security as a condition of sale, rather it relies on credit approval, balance limitation and monitoring procedures to control credit risk of trade account financial instruments. Management believes that allowances for doubtful accounts, which are established based upon review of specific account balances and historical experience, are adequate.

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

No other customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s revenues in fiscal years 2014 and 2013.

(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, 2014 and 2013, the effect of such securities was antidilutive and not included in the diluted calculation because of the net loss generated in those periods.

The following is the calculation of loss per share for the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013:

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 3,393,000 and 3,434,000 for the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, 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, 2014 and 2013 amounted to $141,033 and $108,422, 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 $852 and $0 for the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

In July 2011, the Company assigned all of its currently issued and pending patents, as well as new inventions that it conceives before July 28, 2012, to Intuitive Surgical.

(k)           Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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

(l)          Long-Lived Assets

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

(m)          Warranty Costs

The Company does not incur future performance obligations in the normal course of business other than providing a standard one-year warranty on materials and workmanship to its customers (except in certain unusual and infrequently occurring situations where extended warranty terms beyond one year are negotiated with the customer). The Company provides for estimated warranty costs at the time product revenue is recognized. Warranty costs have been included as a component of cost of goods sold in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The following tables summarize warranty reserve activity for the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013:

(n)           Research and Development

Research and development expenses are charged to operations as incurred. The Company groups development and prototype costs and related reimbursements in research and development. For the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, research and development expense is shown net of reimbursements of $45,997 and $87,496, respectively, in the accompanying statements of operations.

(o)           Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income or loss is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owners sources. The Company’s comprehensive loss or income for the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 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.

(q)           Segment Reporting

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

(r)           Use of Estimates

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

(s)           Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2013-11, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists" ("ASU 2013-11"). The new standard requires the presentation of certain unrecognized tax benefits as reductions to deferred tax assets rather than as liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The new standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2013, which for the Company is the first quarter of fiscal 2015. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2013-11 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide that a Performance Target Could Be Achieved After the Requisite Service Period. The update is intended to resolve the diverse accounting treatment of these types of awards in practice. The amendments require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. A reporting entity should apply existing guidance in "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718)" as it relates to awards with performance conditions that affect vesting to account for such awards. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. If the performance target becomes probable of being achieved before the end of the requisite service period, the remaining unrecognized compensation cost should be recognized prospectively over the remaining requisite service period. The ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods that begin after December 15, 2015. The Company does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have an impact on our financial statements as this guidance mirrors our existing policy for such share-based awards.

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

(3)           STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

(a)           Stock Options

Stock-based compensation costs recognized during the year ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 amounted to $141,033 and $108,422 respectively, and were included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations in: selling, general and administrative expenses (2014 — $134,800; 2013 — $98,589), cost of goods sold (2014 — $4,033; 2013 — $7,633), and research and development expenses, net (2014 — $2,200; 2013 — $2,200). 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, 2014 or 2013, as the Company is currently in a loss position. There were 9,000 stock options granted during the year ended June 30, 2014 and 9,000 stock options granted during the year ended June 30, 2013.

As of June 30, 2014, 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 2014:

The warrants became exercisable beginning six months after December 16, 2010 (the issue date) and expired on December 16, 2013.

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

The Company received $2.5 million in gross proceeds from the offering. The Company retained Loewen, Ondaatje, McCutcheon USA LTD as the exclusive placement agent for the offering. In addition to the payment of certain cash fees upon closing of the offering, the Company issued a warrant to the placement agent to purchase up to 194,446 shares of common stock on substantially similar terms to the warrants issued in the offering, except that the placement agent warrant has an exercise price of $0.95 per share.

In conjunction with the offering, the Company also entered into a registration rights agreement dated September 28, 2012 with the Investors, whereby it was obligated to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on or before thirty calendar days after September 28, 2012 to register the resale by the Investors of the 2,777,795 shares of common stock purchased in the offering, and the 1,944,475 shares of common stock underlying the warrants purchased in the offering. The Company filed a registration statement with the SEC on October 26, 2012, prior to the filing deadline. The registration statement became effective on December 14, 2012. The Company is obligated to continue to keep the securities registered and, in the event the Company does not comply with such provision of the registration rights agreement, it may have to pay damages to the Investors.

In conjunction with the offering, certain anti-dilution provisions of the warrants issued in conjunction with the Company’s June 25, 2008 financing transaction were triggered. As a result, the number of existing June 25, 2008 warrants increased from 318,621 to 469,831 and the related exercise price of the warrants decreased from $1.74 per share to $1.18 per share. The June 25, 2008 warrants expire on June 25, 2015.

(4)            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 2012 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, 2014 and 2013.

A reconciliation of the federal statutory rate to the Company’s effective tax rate for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 is as follows

The components of deferred tax assets and liabilities at June 30, 2014 and 2013 are approximately as follows:

The Company has provided a valuation allowance to reduce the net deferred tax asset to an amount the Company believes is “more likely than not” to be realized. The valuation allowance increased in fiscal 2014, as compared to the prior year, by approximately $174,000.

At June 30, 2014, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $6,600,000 and $2,100,000, respectively, which will, if not used, expire at various dates from 2015 through 2033. In addition, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards from its Hong Kong operations of approximately $2,171,000, which carry forward indefinitely.

(5)            PROFIT SHARING PLAN

The Company has a defined contribution 401(k) profit sharing plan. Employer profit sharing and matching contributions to the plan are discretionary. No employer profit sharing or matching contributions were made to the plan in fiscal years 2014 and 2013.

(6)            SALE OF ASSETS

In fiscal year 2014, the Company sold equipment that was previously written off for proceeds totaling $14,028 and recorded a gain of $14,028.  In fiscal year 2013, the Company sold equipment that was previously written off for proceeds totaling $4,498 and recorded a gain of $4,498. These gains are included within operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

(7)            CLAIMS FOR LIQUIDATED DAMAGES

Settlement Agreement with Special Situations Fund III QP, L.P. and Special Situations Private Equity Fund, L.P.

On January 17, 2013, the Company received a demand letter from two of its stockholders, Special Situations Fund III QP, L.P. and Special Situations Private Equity Fund, L.P. (along with Special Situations Fund III QP, L.P., “Special Situations”). The letter alleged that the Company failed to maintain a current registration statement for the sale of stock purchased by Special Situations pursuant to registration rights agreements entered into with the Company on February 1, 2007 and June 25, 2008, and sought prompt payment of $719,100 as liquidated damages and an amendment to the terms of certain warrants purchased in 2008. A registration statement covering the shares in question is currently effective.

On February 12, 2013, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Special Situations (the “Settlement Agreement”). Without agreeing to the alleged damages, the Company entered into the Settlement Agreement in order to resolve the claim without requiring a cash payment or extended distraction of its resources away from operational activities. Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, Special Situations agreed to forego their claims for cash damages. In return, the Company agreed to: (a) issue an aggregate of (i) 350,000 shares of common stock, and (ii) warrants to purchase an aggregate of 350,000 shares of common stock (the “Securities”), and (b) amend the expiration date of the warrants issued to Special Situations in conjunction with the Company’s June 25, 2008 private placement (the “2008 Warrants”), as payment in full of the alleged damages sought by Special Situations. The Securities were issued on February 12, 2013. The expiration date of the 2008 Warrants was amended from June 25, 2015 to May 11, 2017. The new warrants issued in connection with the Settlement Agreement have an exercise price of $1.50 per share, subject to adjustment, expire three years from February 12, 2013, and are exercisable in whole or in part, at any time prior to expiration.

In conjunction with the Settlement Agreement, the Company also entered into a registration rights agreement dated February 12, 2013 with Special Situations, whereby it was obligated to register the resale by Special Situations of the Securities, consisting of 350,000 shares of common stock and the 350,000 shares of common stock underlying the warrants issued on February 12, 2013. A registration statement covering the Securities was declared effective on April 26, 2013.

Settlement Agreement with Joel Pitlor

On February 12, 2013, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with one of its directors and stockholders, Joel Pitlor (the “Pitlor Settlement Agreement”). Under the terms of the Pitlor Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed to issue 10,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock as payment in full of any amounts due to Mr. Pitlor under the registration rights agreement the Company entered into with Mr. Pitlor, and other parties, on February 1, 2007. The shares and warrants were issued on February 12, 2013. The warrants issued in connection with the Pitlor Settlement Agreement have an exercise price of $1.50 per share, subject to adjustment, expire three years from February 12, 2013, and are exercisable in whole or in part, at any time prior to expiration. There are no registration rights associated with the securities acquired pursuant to the Pitlor Settlement Agreement.

By virtue of Mr. Pitlor’s directorship with the Company, he is considered a related party of the Company under federal securities law. The Company’s Board of Directors has acknowledged that Mr. Pitlor’s entry into the Pitlor Settlement Agreement is a related party transaction and has approved such transaction.

Settlement Agreement with Arnold Schumsky

On February 12, 2013, the Company also entered into a settlement agreement with one of its stockholders, Arnold Schumsky (the “Schumsky Settlement Agreement”). The terms of the Schumsky Settlement Agreement and the accompanying Form of Warrant of the Schumsky Settlement Agreement are substantially similar to the terms of the Pitlor Settlement Agreement and the accompanying Form of Warrant of the Pitlor Settlement Agreement. Under the terms of the Schumsky Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed to issue 10,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock as payment in full of any amounts due to Mr. Schumsky under the registration rights agreement the Company entered into with Mr. Schumsky, and other parties, on February 1, 2007 and under the registration rights agreement the Company entered into with Mr. Schumsky, and other parties, on June 25, 2008. The shares and warrants were issued on February 12, 2013. The warrants issued in connection with the Schumsky Settlement Agreement have an exercise price of $1.50 per share, subject to adjustment, expire three years from February 12, 2013, and are exercisable in whole or in part, at any time prior to expiration. There are no registration rights associated with the securities acquired pursuant to the Schumsky Settlement Agreement.

The Company has estimated the fair value of the non-cash consideration exchanged for the settlement of claims with Special Situations, Mr. Pitlor, and Mr. Schumsky to be a total of $629,000 as of December 31, 2012, and recorded this amount as a non-cash expense and current liability in its consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2012, and for the quarter and six months then ended.

The Company used the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for determining the estimated fair value of the new warrants to be issued to Special Situations, Mr. Pitlor, and Mr. Schumsky, and for determining the value of the extension of the maturity date of the 2008 Warrants held by Special Situations. The Company valued its issued common stock as of the closing price of the stock at December 31, 2012, which was $0.85 per share.

(8)           SETTLEMENT OF ACCOUNTS PAYABLE

In December 2012, the Company settled $106,149 of accounts payable with a vendor for a negotiated payment of $30,000, and recorded a gain of $76,149. The gain is included within other income for the year ended June 30, 2013 in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

(9)           SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

(a) Equity Issuances

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

In conjunction with the placement, the Company also entered into a registration rights agreement with the Investors, whereby the Company is obligated to file a registration statement with the Securities Exchange Commission on or before forty-five calendar days after July 1, 2014 to register the resale by the Investors of the 1,717,152 shares of the common stock purchased in the placement. Subsequent to the execution of the agreement, the parties agreed to extend the time period by which the Company is obligated to file a registration statement with the Securities Exchange Commission.

In conjunction with the offering, certain anti-dilution provisions of the warrants issued in conjunction with the Company’s June 25, 2008 and September 28, 2012 financing transactions were triggered. As a result, the number of existing June 25, 2008 warrants increased from 469,831 to 538,253 and the related exercise price of the warrants decreased from $1.18 per share to $1.03 per share. And the number of existing September 28, 2012 warrants increased from 1,944,475 to 2,189,724 and 194,446 to 217,322, respectively, and the related exercise price decreased from $1.25 to $1.11 and from $0.95 to $0.85, respectively.

On July 22, 2014, the Company issued 78,000 restricted shares of our common stock to Mr. Jeff DiRubio as compensation for services rendered to the Company.

On July 22, 2014, the Company issued 12,298 restricted shares of our common stock to Mr. Kevin Dahill as compensation for services rendered to the Company.

On September 23, 2014, the Company granted an option to purchase 35,000 shares of our common stock to Mr. Bob Hallock as compensation for services rendered to the Company. The option shall expire September 23, 2024 and shall have an exercise price of $0.90 per share.

On September 23, 2014, the Company granted an option to purchase 30,000 shares of our common stock to its Executive Vice President of Corporate Development, Mr. Donald Major as compensation for services rendered to the Company. The option shall expire September 23, 2024 and shall have an exercise price of $0.90 per share.

(b) Departure of Director

On July 9, 2014, Mr. Richard E. Forkey resigned from the Company’s Board of Directors. Mr. Forkey shall continue to stay involved with the Company as the Founder and Chairman Emeritus.

(c) Appointment of New Directors

On July 9, 2014, the Board of Directors appointed Dr. Kenneth S. Schwartz, MD and Peter H. Woodward as directors of the Company and Mr. Woodward as Chairman of the Board.

Both Dr. Schwartz and Mr. Woodward were appointed in connection with the sale and purchase agreement between the Company and accredited investors reported on the Company’s Periodic Report on Form 8-K filed July 7, 2014. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company is required to appoint two qualified individuals named by Hershey Strategic Capital LP to the Company’s Board of Directors. Those individuals shall serve for three years or until resignation, whichever is earlier.

(d) Amendment of Bylaws

On July 9, 2014, the Board of Directors approved an amendment to the Company’s Bylaws. The Bylaws now provide that the Board of Directors shall consist of six directors, rather than five. Additionally, the Bylaws were revised to state that the Chairman of the Board is not required to be an officer of the Company. Massachusetts law provides for a staggered Board by default; however, the Board of Directors believed it would add clarity to revise the Bylaws to explicitly state that the Company has a staggered Board.

ITEM 9A.  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 Annual Report on Form 10-K. 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 June 30, 2014, 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.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our disclosure controls and procedures include components of our internal control over financial reporting. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, with our Company have been detected.

A “material weakness” is defined as a significant deficiency, or a combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. A “significant deficiency” is a control deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects a company’s ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report external financial data reliably in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2014. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework. Based on our evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of June 30, 2014.

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, 2008-2013, our management identified a control deficiency during the 2008 fiscal year because we lacked sufficient staff to segregate accounting duties. We believe the control deficiency resulted primarily because we have the equivalent of one and one-half persons performing all accounting-related on-site duties. As a result, we did not maintain adequate segregation of duties within our critical financial reporting applications, the related modules and financial reporting processes. This control deficiency could result in a misstatement of balance sheet and income statement accounts in our interim or annual consolidated financial statements that would not be detected. Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.

To address and remediate the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described above, beginning with the quarter ended September 30, 2008, we instituted a procedure whereby our Chief Executive Officer, 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.

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 2014 assessment of internal control over financial reporting, our management has evaluated this additional control and has determined that it is operating effectively.

Inventory Valuation: As previously disclosed in our Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2009-2013, we reported a material weakness with respect to the valuation of our inventories. Specifically, the amounts used to value our inventory at June 30, 2009 with respect to overhead rates and purchased items were often inconsistent with the supporting documentation, due to year-to-year changes in overhead rates and costs of purchased items that were not properly reflected in inventory valuation. Accordingly, management had determined that this control deficiency constituted a material weakness as of June 30, 2009. One audit adjustment of approximately $58,000 to our audited financial statements as of June 30, 2011 was necessary as a result of this condition.

To address and remediate the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described above, beginning in the quarter ended September 30, 2009 and continuing through the year ended June 30, 2014, we implemented procedures to improve our inventory controls and documentation surrounding inventory valuation for overhead rates, and performed procedures to ensure that the pricing of inventory items was consistent with the supporting documentation. We believe that the step outlined above strengthens our internal control over financial reporting and mitigates the material weakness described above.

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

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

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

ITEM 9B.  OTHER INFORMATION.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

We received $1,030,291 in gross proceeds from the offering. We anticipate using the net proceeds from this placement for general working capital purposes. Of this amount, $50,000 was received in June 2014 and the remainder was received in July 2014.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our directors, executive officers and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our securities to file reports of beneficial ownership and changes in beneficial ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Forms 3 (Initial Statement of Beneficial Ownership), 4 (Statement of Changes of Beneficial Ownership of Securities) and 5 (Annual Statement of Beneficial Ownership of Securities). Officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

Based solely upon a review of reports provided to us by our officers and directors, we believe that, during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, no person required to file reports under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 failed to file such reports on a timely basis during such fiscal year.

Code of Ethics

We previously adopted a Corporate Code of Ethics and Conduct that applies to all employees, officers and directors of our Company, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 14.1 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2008 with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 28, 2008. A copy of our Corporate Code of Ethics and Conduct can be obtained free of charge by contacting our Secretary, c/o Precision Optics Corporation, Inc., 22 East Broadway, Gardner, Massachusetts 01440.

Procedure for Nominating Directors

There have been no material changes to the procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to our Board of Directors.

The Board of Directors will consider candidates for director positions that are recommended by any of our stockholders. Any such recommendation should be provided to our Secretary. The recommended candidate should be submitted to us in writing addressed to our Secretary, c/o Precision Optics Corporation, Inc., 22 East Broadway, Gardner, Massachusetts 01440. The recommendation should include the following information: name of candidate; address, phone and fax number of candidate; a statement signed by the candidate certifying that the candidate wishes to be considered for nomination to our Board of Directors and stating why the candidate believes that he or she would be a valuable addition to our Board of Directors; a summary of the candidate’s work experience for the prior five years and the number of shares of our stock beneficially owned by the candidate.

The Board will evaluate the recommended candidate and shall determine whether or not to proceed with the candidate in accordance with our procedures. We reserve the right to change our procedures at any time to comply with the requirements of applicable laws.

Committees of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors has the responsibility for establishing broad corporate policies and reviewing our overall performance rather than day-to-day operations. The Board’s primary responsibility is to oversee management of our Company and, in so doing, serve the best interests of our Company and our stockholders.

Our Board of Directors has the ability to establish, or disband, such committees as necessary or appropriate to serve the needs of our Company. In February 2012, our Board of Directors made the determination to restructure and unanimously voted to disband its committees, including its Audit Committee. Our full Board of Directors performs all of the functions normally designated to an audit committee, compensation committee and nominating committee.

Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert

As of February 2012, the Board of Directors no longer has a separately designated audit committee. Now, the functions of the audit committee are conducted by the entire Board, whose members are named above. We do not currently have an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K.

Mr. Major, whom formerly served as Chair of the Audit Committee and was determined by the Board to qualify as an audit committee financial expert, no longer meets the criteria set forth in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K as he is employed by our Company as an executive officer and therefore is not “independent” as independence for audit committee members is defined in the NASDAQ Listing Rules. We believe that each member of our Board is financially literate and possesses sufficient experience, both professionally and by virtue of his service on our Board, to be fully capable of discharging his duties as a member of our Board performing audit committee functions. However, the Board believes that Mr. Major’s professional background and services assist the Board when additional financial expertise is warranted.

ITEM 11.  EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.

Executive and Director Compensation

Summary Compensation

The following table sets forth all compensation for our fiscal years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 awarded to, earned by, or paid to our Principal Executive Officer and our most highly compensated employee, both of which are referred to herein as the “Named Executive Officers.” No other executive officer earned over $100,000 in the last completed fiscal year.

Summary Compensation Table for the Fiscal Years Ended June 30, 2014 and 2013

Employment Contracts and Termination of Employment Arrangements

We have no employment contracts, other than the compensation agreement with Dr. Joseph N. Forkey disclosed below, in place with any Named Executive Officer. We have no compensatory plan or arrangement with respect to any Named Executive Officer where such plan or arrangement will result in payments to such Named Executive Officer upon or following his resignation, or other termination of employment with us and our subsidiaries, or as a result of a change-in-control of our Company or a change in the Named Executive Officers’ responsibilities following a change-in-control.

Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End Table for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2014

The following table shows grants of options outstanding on June 30, 2014, the last day of our fiscal year, to each of the Named Executive Officers named in the Summary Compensation Table.

Option Awards

Profit Sharing and 401(k) Plan

We have a defined contribution 401(k) profit sharing plan. Employer profit sharing and matching contributions to the plan are discretionary. No employer profit sharing contributions were made to the plan in fiscal years 2014 and 2013. No employer matching contributions were made to the plan in fiscal years 2014 and 2013.

Director Compensation

The following table sets forth cash amounts and the value of other compensation paid to our directors, but does not include the compensation of Dr. Joseph N. Forkey, our Chairman of the Board of Directors, Chief Executive Officer, President and Treasurer, as his compensation is reflected in the Summary Compensation Table. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, our Board of Directors determined that Dr. Joseph N. Forkey and Mr. Richard E. Forkey were our employee directors and, therefore, would not earn any fees related to service on our Board.

Director Compensation Table for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2014

Narrative to Director Compensation Table

Under our director compensation plan, each director receives $250 per board or committee meeting that the director attends. We also reimburse our directors for travel expenses.

On February 9, 2012, our Board of Directors made the determination to also award each non-employee director an annual grant of 3,000 options, fully vested upon issuance, to be issued on the first business day of January of each year going forth. On January 2, 2014, in accordance with such resolution, we granted Messrs. Major, Miles, and Pitlor options to purchase 3,000 shares of our common stock. These options were fully vested as of the date of grant, have an exercise price of $0.90 and expire on January 2, 2024.

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.

The following tables set forth information regarding our common stock owned as of the close of business on September 23, 2014 by the following persons: (i) each person who is known by us to own beneficially more than 5% of our common stock, (ii) each of our directors who beneficially owns our common stock, (iii) each of our Named Executive Officers who beneficially own our common stock and (iv) all executive officers and directors, as a group, who beneficially own our common stock. The information on beneficial ownership in the table and footnotes thereto is based upon data furnished to us by, or on behalf of, the persons listed in the table.

We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the SEC. Except as indicated by the footnotes below, we believe, based on the information furnished to us, that the persons and entities named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock that they beneficially own, subject to applicable community property laws.

In computing the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, we deemed outstanding shares of common stock subject to options held by that person that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days after September 23, 2014. We did not deem these shares outstanding, however, for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

Stockholders Known by Us to Own Over 5% of Our Common Stock

Officers and Directors

_________________

* Percentage of shares beneficially owned does not exceed one percent of issued and outstanding shares of stock.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

We lease our main facility in Gardner, Massachusetts from Equity Assets, Inc., a company wholly-owned by Mr. Richard E. Forkey, our Director Emeritus and our former Director and Chief Executive Officer. We are currently a tenant-at-will, paying rent of $9,000 per month, or an aggregate of $108,000 per year, for each of fiscal years 2014 and 2013.

On September 28, 2012, we closed on agreements with investors for the sale and purchase of units consisting of an aggregate of (i) 2,777,795 shares of our common stock, and (ii) warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,944,475 shares of common stock, at a per unit price of $0.90. Each unit consisted of one share of common stock and 70% warrant coverage. The warrants have an exercise price of $1.25 per share, subject to adjustment and a call provision if certain market price targets are reached, expire five years from September 28, 2012, and are exercisable in whole or in part, at any time prior to expiration. We received $2.5 million in gross proceeds from the offering.

Certain of our directors and officers participated in the offering on the same terms as the other investors and purchased a total aggregate amount of approximately $80,000 of units in the offering, in such amounts as follows:

On February 12, 2013, we entered into a settlement agreement with one of our directors and stockholders, Joel Pitlor (the “Pitlor Settlement Agreement”). Under the terms of the Pitlor Settlement Agreement, we issued 10,000 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase 10,000 shares of our common stock as payment in full of any amounts due to Mr. Pitlor under the registration rights agreement we entered into with Mr. Pitlor, and other parties, on February 1, 2007. The warrants issued in connection with the Pitlor Settlement Agreement have an exercise price of $1.50 per share, subject to adjustment, expire three years from February 12, 2013, and are exercisable in whole or in part, at any time prior to expiration. We valued the securities issued to Mr. Pitlor at $17,000.

On June 25, 2008, we entered into a purchase agreement, as amended on December 11, 2008, with Special Situations Fund III QP, L.P., Special Situations Private Equity Fund, L.P., and other accredited investors pursuant to which we sold a total of $600,000 of 10% Senior Secured Convertible Notes, referred to as the “Notes,” that are convertible into a total of 480,000 shares of our common stock at a conversion rate of $1.25. We also issued warrants to purchase a total of 316,800 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.75 per share, referred to as the “Warrants.” Interest accrued on the Notes at a rate of 10% per year and was payable in cash upon the earlier of conversion or maturity of the Notes.
