NEWS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Wednesday, November 15, 2006
OPTICS CORPORATION ANNOUNCES
Precision Optics Corporation, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: POCI.OB), ("Precision
Optics") today announced operating results on an unaudited basis for the first
quarter of fiscal year 2007 ended September 30, 2006.
Quarter Operating Results
the quarter ended September 30, 2006, revenues were $474,154 compared to
$419,582 for the same period last year, an increase of 13%.
the quarter ended September 30, 2006, net loss was $688,179, or $0.04 per share,
an increase of $128,308 from the net loss of $559,871 or $0.08 per share, for
the same period last year. The net loss for the quarter ended September 30,
included a gain of $165,700, resulting from the sale of equipment previously
used in the Company's discontinued telecommunication business. The increase in
net loss includes a non-cash charge of $58,353 related to stock-based
compensation expense following the implementation of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 123 revised (SFAS No. 123R) as well as increased sales
and marketing expenses in the quarter ended September 30, 2006. The weighted
average common shares outstanding for the quarters ended September 30, 2006
2005 were 15,458,212 and 7,008,212, respectively.
Flow and Expenditures -
quarter ended September 30, 2006, cash and cash equivalents decreased by
$755,448 compared to a decrease of $539,375 for the same period last year.
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, 2006, research and development expenses were
$207,824, compared to $208,111 a year earlier. While these expenses were
virtually unchanged, they reflect a shift from previous activities aimed at
development of new technologies to applications of these technologies for
customer-driven product development. The level of future quarterly R&D
expenses will ultimately depend on the Company's assessment of new product
opportunities and available cash resources.
general and administrative expenses were $483,787 for the quarter ended
September 30, 2006 compared to $424,688 for the same period last year. The
increase was primarily a result of a non-cash charge of $58,353 related to
stock-based compensation expense following the implementation of SFAS No. 123R.
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. The Company believes that the recent
introduction of several new products, along with new and ongoing customer
relationships, will generate additional revenues. In
coming months the Company will continue to focus its efforts on marketing
products recently introduced or redesigned. The Company believes that these
marketing activities, if successful, may result in the continuation of its
recent pattern of year-over-year sales growth.
