OPTICS CORPORATION ANNOUNCES
QUARTERLY REVENUE IN 8 QUARTERS
Precision Optics Corporation, Inc. (Nasdaq: POCI) today announced operating
results on an unaudited basis for the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 ended
the past 2 years the Company has devoted significant resources towards the
development of new products and substantial redesigns of a number of existing
products. A major effort has been underway to develop proprietary, patent
pending micro-precision technologies for use in fabricating cost effective
micro-optics - lens, prisms, and optical assemblies - with superior optical
performance and dimensions extending down to sub millimeter sizes. The Company
has also been engaged in a major redesign of its line of endoscopes centered
around patent pending lenslock technology which achieves significantly lower
manufacturing and repair costs of endoscopes while retaining state-of-the-art
image quality. Efforts in these areas as well as other new product releases
begun to show initial results in the first quarter of FY2006:
Quarter Operating Results
the quarter ended September 30, 2005, revenues were $419,582 compared to
$263,810 for the same period last year, an increase of 59%. Revenues in the

decrease of $373,587 from the net loss of $933,458 or $0.16 per share, for
same period last year. A gain of $165,700, resulting from the sale of equipment
previously used in the Company's discontinued telecommunication business, is
included in results for the quarter ended September 30, 2005. The weighted
average common shares outstanding for the quarters ended June 30, 2005 and
were 7,008,212 and 5,979,832, respectively.
quarter ended September 30, 2005, cash and cash equivalents decreased by
$539,375 compared to a decrease of $866,229 for the previous quarter ended
30, 2005. Cash receipts during the quarter ended September 30, 2005 included
$162,000 received from the sale of equipment previously used in the Company's
discontinued telecommunication business.
quarter ended September 30, 2005, research and development expenses were
$208,111 down 42% from $356,406 a year earlier. The level of future quarterly
R&D expenses will ultimately depend on the Company's assessment of new
product opportunities and available cash resources.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $73,000,
or 14.6% for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 compared to the same period
last year. Savings were achieved through reduced professional fees, changing
CFO role to part-time, and through reduced premiums from changing the Company's
general insurance provider.
Company has continued development of its new line of endoscopes based on unique,
patent pending lenslock technology. This has resulted in the recent completion
of a number of prototype instruments. The Company has received first production
orders for these newly redesigned scopes and is now initiating discussions
leading companies in the endoscopy market.
Company is now manufacturing ultra-small lenses, prisms, and assemblies with
sizes ranging from 0.2 mm to 1 mm, for a number of customers. The Company is
also in discussions with several customers regarding manufacturing of prototypes
of similar products. These optical components and instruments utilize a variety
of innovative techniques including the Company's patent-pending
Company has also completed a partnership effort for the proprietary development
of a new class of night vision lenses including a new patent-pending eyepiece
lens. With prototypes completed, the product incorporating the Company's new
night vision lenses is currently being evaluated for need and use, including
field testing. The partnership agreement ensures that Precision Optics
Corporation will either be contracted to manufacture the new lenses or will
receive royalties on lenses manufactured by any other company.
Company expects its recent pattern of quarter-to-quarter revenue fluctuations
continue, due to the uncertain timing of orders from customers and their size
relation to total revenues. The Company continues to move forward with new
products and technical innovations, in particular, the development of a new
generation (patent pending) of its world-class product line of 3-D endoscopes,
the extension of lenslock technology (patent pending) to its entire line of
endoscopes, and new instruments utilizing the Company's
technology (patent pending) for optical components, assemblies and endoscopes
under 1 mm. The Company continues to explore potential applications of
single-molecule technology and nanotechnology.

under the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules. As a result, the Company will likely
receive a letter from the Nasdaq Stock Market, stating that its securities

management believes that the Company's shares will continue to be tradable on
the Over the Counter Bulletin Board.
