PRECISION OPTICS CORPORATION INC

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Principles of Consolidation and Operations

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Precision Optics Corporation, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, without audit, and reflect normal recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results of the first three months of the Company’s fiscal year 2025. These consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures associated with annual consolidated financial statements and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with footnotes contained in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2024, together with the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm filed under cover of the Company’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 30, 2024.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income or net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, plus the number of potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period such as stock options. For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, potentially dilutive securities outstanding have been excluded from the computations of weighted-average shares outstanding because such securities have an antidilutive impact due to the net loss reported during those periods. The number of shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options that were excluded from the computation of fully dilutive weighted average shares outstanding was approximately 1,329,236 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 1,123,140 for the three months ended September 30, 2023.

The following is the calculation of income (loss) per share for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023:

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

In assessing the likelihood of utilization of existing deferred tax assets, management has considered the historical results of operations and the current operating environment. Based on this evaluation, a full valuation reserve has been provided for the deferred tax assets.

Goodwill and Patents

Long-lived assets such as goodwill and patents are capitalized when acquired and reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the book value of the asset may not be recoverable. Impairment of the carrying value of long-lived assets such as goodwill and patents would be indicated if the best estimate of future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset grouping is less than its carrying value. If an impairment is indicated, any loss is measured as the difference between estimated fair value and carrying value and is recognized in operating income or loss. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. No such impairments of goodwill or patents have been estimated by management as of September 30, 2024.

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market and consisted of the following:

Bank Line of Credit

On October 4, 2021, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement with Main Street Bank of Marlborough, Massachusetts, which provided for a $2,600,000 Term Loan and a $250,000 Revolving Line of Credit Loan Facility (the “Revolver”), which was increased to $500,000 effective May 17, 2022, and $1,250,000 effective June 2, 2023. Borrowings under the Revolver are limited by the borrowing base comprised of a percentage of accounts receivable and inventory and secured by all assets of the Company. Borrowings under the Revolver will bear interest payable monthly at the prime lending rate plus 1.5% per annum and shall not be less than 4.75% per annum. Borrowings under the Revolver are due upon demand. Borrowings under the Revolver at September 30, 2024 were $500,000, with $750,000 remaining available for use.

The Company’s Loan Agreement with the Lender contains a minimum annual debt service coverage ratio covenant of 1.2x, for the period ending June 30, 2024. The Company did not meet this annual debt service coverage ratio as of such fiscal year end date. The Company’s Lender has agreed to waive compliance with such debt service ratio covenant for the period ending June 30, 2024. In addition to such waiver, the Lender and the Company have entered into an amendment dated September 30, 2024 to that certain Term Loan dated October 4, 2021, as amended and that certain Promissory Note dated June 2, 2023 (collectively, the “Notes”) which amendments provide for a six month period of interest only payments from October 15, 2024 through March 15, 2025 for the Notes. The Company will begin to pay principal and interest under the Notes beginning with the payments due on April 15, 2025, with a new amortization schedule for the remaining term for such Notes through their maturity date. There were no other changes to or modifications to the Loan Agreement or the Notes.

The Company determines revenue recognition for arrangements that we determine are within the scope of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” or ASC 606, by performing the following five steps: (i) identify the contract with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies the performance obligations. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within the contract and determine those that are performance obligations and assess whether each promised good or service is distinct based on the contract.

The Company disaggregates revenues by product and service types as it believes best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Revenues are comprised of the following for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023:

Other selling costs to obtain and fulfill contracts are expensed as incurred due to the short-term nature of a majority of contracts. The Company extends terms of payment to its customers based on commercially reasonable terms for the markets of its customers, while also considering their credit quality. Shipping and handling costs charged to customers are included in revenue.

Revenue recognition policies for each of the four product and service types appear below.

Engineering Design Services

The Company enters into contractual agreements with its customers, including design services agreements, statements of work and receive purchase orders for development projects. These agreements provide costs on an estimated basis for the services the Company has agreed to provide. Engineering Design Services are rendered on a time and materials basis. The Company recognizes revenue as customers are invoiced for the actual engineering services provided in the period. Revenue is also recognized on materials purchased for development projects at the time of receipt. Engineering Design Services are provided on a best-efforts basis; no warranty is provided as there is no guarantee that the work will result in the attainment of the customer’s project objectives. The Company may obtain customer deposits in advance of rendering engineering design services. Customer deposits are treated as contractual liabilities until the terms of customer agreements are satisfied and are not a component of revenue.

Optical Components, Finished Products and Assemblies

The Company provides fixed price quotations to its customers and requires purchase orders for all purchased optical components, finished devices and assemblies. Revenue is recognized at the time title passes to the Company’s customers based on its review of the customer contract, generally at the time of shipment from its facilities. Occasionally the Company may enter into “bill and hold” contractual arrangements where title is held by its customers while goods are stored at our facilities for their convenience.

Technology Rights and Royalties

The Company may recognize revenue for the sale of technology rights and through the receipt of royalties obtained under a license of our intellectual property. These revenues are recognized in the period in which, in our judgment, they are earned and no longer contingent under the terms and conditions of the relevant customer contract.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

The nature of the Company’s products and services does not generally give rise to contract assets as it typically does not incur costs to fulfill a contract before a product or service is provided to a customer. The Company’s costs to obtain contracts are typically in the form of sales commissions paid to employees. The Company has elected to expense sales commissions associated with obtaining a contract as incurred as the amortization period is generally less than one year. These costs have been recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. As of September 30, 2024, there were no contract assets recorded in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

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

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