During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, approximately 43% of our business was from systems manufacturing, 26% was from engineering services primarily relating to the design of medical device optical assemblies, 20% was from Ross Optical, and 11% from our micro-optics laboratory. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, approximately 45% of our business was from engineering services primarily relating to the design of medical device optical assemblies, 19% from systems manufacturing, 22% from Ross Optical, and 14% from our micro-optics laboratory. We generally expect revenue to increase over time as the engineering design phase of new product programs is completed and products transition to the commercial phase, leveraging our unique manufacturing capabilities. Much of the technology we have developed for making smaller medical devices is also used in defense and aerospace systems where smaller size and weight is crucial.

History

We incorporated in Massachusetts in December 1982, have been publicly held since November 1990, and have no subsidiaries.

Principal Products and Services

We have been manufacturing medical products such as endoscopes and endocouplers since our formation in 1982. In 1985 we introduced a proprietary product line of endocouplers. We also design and manufacture custom optical medical devices to satisfy our customers’ specific requirements, incorporating various optical technologies, servicing a variety of minimally invasive surgical and diagnostic procedures, using both reusable and single-use medical devices. In addition to medical devices, we also manufacture and sell components and assemblies specially designed for defense/aerospace and industrial uses.

~~The~~Microprecision™ ~~acquisition~~Lenses and Micro Medical Cameras. While the size of endoscopes has gradually decreased over time, we believe the ~~assets~~widespread use of ~~Ross~~very ~~Optical~~small ~~Industries~~endoscopes, with diameters of a couple millimeters or smaller, has been limited due in ~~2019~~part ~~expanded~~to the limitations of traditional lens fabrication methods to combine smaller sizes with acceptable image quality at reasonable manufacturing costs. We believe our Microprecision™ optics technology ~~components~~provides ~~and~~a ~~assemblies~~solution ~~business~~to this challenge. ~~All~~Combined ~~products~~with ~~supplied~~recent advances by ~~Ross~~our ~~Optical~~supply ~~include~~chain apartners ~~custom~~in complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor, or ~~catalog~~CMOS, ~~optic~~image sensor fabrication techniques, our Microprecision™ lens technology and proprietary design and manufacturing techniques ~~sourced~~enable ~~through~~the ~~Ross~~manufacture ~~Opticals’~~of ~~extensive~~micro ~~domestic~~medical cameras and ~~worldwide~~digital ~~network~~endoscopes at previously unobtainable prices, with sizes on the order of ~~optical~~a couple ~~fabrication~~millimeters ~~suppliers.~~or ~~Most~~less ~~systems~~and image quality superior to most previously available endoscopes, characteristics that make ~~use~~them perfectly ofsuited ~~optical~~for ~~lenses,~~medical ~~prisms~~imaging applications, ~~mirrors~~particularly single-use or disposable endoscopes. We believe the technology developed to support the design, fabrication and ~~windows~~manufacturing of Microprecision™ lenses and ~~range~~associated ~~from~~assemblies ~~individual~~can ~~optical~~also ~~components~~be used to ~~complex~~satisfy ~~mechano-optical~~the ~~assemblies.

Unity is the embodiment of our on-~~added~~going ~~development~~improvements ~~services~~to the evolution and ~~product~~acceptance ~~offerings~~of our Microprecision™ and digital imaging technology platforms.

Microprecision™ Lenses and Micro Medical Cameras: While the size of endoscopes has gradually decreased over time, we believe the widespread use of very small endoscopes, with diameters of one millimeter or smaller, has been limited due in part to the limitations of traditional lens fabrication methods to combine smaller sizes with acceptable image quality at reasonable manufacturing costs. We believe our Microprecision™ optics technology provides a solution to this challenge. Combined with recent advances by our supply chain partners in complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor, or CMOS, image sensor fabrication techniques, our Microprecision™ lenses and proprietary manufacturing techniques enable the manufacture of micro medical cameras at previously unobtainable prices with sizes on the order of one millimeter or less, characteristics that make them perfectly suited for medical applications. We believe the technology developed to support the design, fabrication and manufacturing of Microprecision™ lenses and associated assemblies can also be used to satisfy the needs of defense and aerospace systems that require small size and weight.

We are currently engaged in development projects to design and produce even smaller CMOS based camera modules together with customized illumination using various technologies to match the needs of the medical device endoscopes. We have now completed and are currently designing, disposable versions of our camera modules and assemblies designed for single use, reducing the risk of contamination from repeated use. We believe these on-going improvements are significant to the continued evolution and acceptance of our Microprecision™ technology platform.

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 highly competitive markets, 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 more limited than those of of some of our competitors, we believe that we compete successfully in this market through product quality, price, delivery and innovation tailored to our customers’ specifications. Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to maintain a technological advantage over our competitors and to effectively incorporate that technology into our custom designs. 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, micro medical cameras ~~and illumination~~, ~~as well as 3D endoscopes~~digital imaging, ~~currently~~and illumination represent competitive advantages for us in the minimally invasive surgical device market.

The competitive advantage of our Ross Optical ~~division~~ division is its ability to quickly provide design-for-manufacturability feedback and to provide difficult-to-find optics, and, increasingly, to provide a broader range of services based on its ability to source optics worldwide, augmented by its ability to provide thin-film coatings and assembly.

Market Opportunities

~~Microprecision™ Lenses and Micro Medical Cameras:~~ We design custom camera module assemblies with the combined objectives of low cost, small size, range of optical specifications and high image quality required by our customer’s precise medical device specifications. By enabling the production of millimeter sized ~~and smaller~~ cameras with low manufacturing costs and high image quality, we believe our Microprecision™ ~~technology~~and ~~opens~~digital imaging technologies open the possibility to replace existing re-sterilizable endoscopes with a single-use ~~alternative~~alternatives. The small size of our Microprecision™ lenses and micro medical cameras combined with our proprietary illumination techniques 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-~~millimeter -sized visualization instrumentation.

3D Endoscopes and Robotic Surgery Systems: 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. Competition amongst medical device companies in 3D robotic surgery systems has increased. Various companies are now pursuing less expensive, procedure specific robotic systems. We believe our experience and expertise in 3D endoscopes for medical applications will benefit companies in this area.

Sales and Marketing

Current sales and marketing activities are intended to broaden awareness of the benefits of our new technology platforms and our successful application of these new technologies to medical device projects requiring surgery-grade visualization, as well as defense, aerospace and other industrial applications, from sub-millimeter sized devices and 3DUltra ~~endoscopy~~HD Precision systems, including single-use products and assemblies. We market directly to established medical device companies primarily in the United States that we believe could benefit from our advanced endoscopy visualization systems. Through ~~this~~ direct marketing, referrals, attendance at trade shows and aan online presence inwith ~~online~~our corporate websites as well as professional association websites, we ~~have~~continually ~~expanded~~seek to expand our on-going pipeline of projects to established medical device companies as well as to emerging medical device companies, and to a growing number of major defense / aerospace companies. WeDue to our expertise and growing OEM trends of outsourcing complex projects, we expect our revenues and customer base to continue to expand as development projects transition to ~~production~~ production orders and new customer projects enter the development phase.

International Business

We acquire various optical components from overseas as necessary to meet the needs of custom device designs. We believe that the availability of specialized components and cost savings from various overseas production resources is essential to our ability to deliver complex and unique device designs and to compete on a price basis in the medical products area particularly and to our profitability generally. We have an expanded network of ~~overseas~~domestic ~~suppliers~~and overseas suppliers of various types and sizes of optical components and assemblies that enhance our ability to meet the material demands of our customers’ unique optical and medical device designs.

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. Although development work on behalf of customers is performed under revenue generating contracts and customer purchase orders, research and development expenses are incurred on our own proprietary products and technology, such as Microprecision™ optics, ~~micro medical cameras~~ and 3Dthe ~~endoscopes~~Unity platform. Accordingly, we treat engineering expenses not consumed in customer contracted development and our investment of funds and resources in internal product and intellectual property development as research and development expense in the accompanying statement of operations.

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. We obtain CMOS sensors used in the development and manufacture of endoscope products for our customers from various suppliers such as OmniVision Technologies, Inc. We believe that while the number of sources of supply is limited for the precision-grade optical glass and CMOS sensors with the specifications used in ~~medical~~the ~~device endoscopes~~products we ~~develop;~~produce, the manufacturing capacities of those suppliers isare adequate to meet our demand in 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 various United States patents, and have patent applications pending, including applications for our new generation of micro medical cameras. Our current patent portfolio includes patents, rights to patents and patent applications that cover various aspects of our technology in the following areas:

— Medical devices; — 3-D endoscopes; — Microprecision™ lenses and micro medical cameras; — Defense/aerospace products.

The patents contained in our current patent portfolio have various expiration dates through March 2043. 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. We intend to continue to innovate and extend our technological capabilities in the areas of ~~3-D endoscopy~~ Microprecision™ optics, digital imaging, micro medical cameras, ~~and~~ related illumination techniques, and associated design and manufacturing technology and to aggressively pursue patent protection for such developments.

Employees

As of June 30, ~~2024~~2025, we had 8490 employees, 83 all of which were full-time employees. There were 4151 employees in manufacturing, 2218 in engineering/research and development, 98 in sales and marketing, and 1213 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

During the fiscal year ~~ended~~ending June 30, ~~2024~~2025, we ~~sold~~ ~~product~~sold products and services to ~~325~~278 customers with one ~~product development~~ customer accounting for ~~19.1~~approximately 22% of total revenues and ~~with~~another ~~one optical components~~ customer accounting for ~~13.8~~20% of our total revenues. The loss of these customers would have a material impact on our business. For the fiscal year ended June 30, ~~2023~~2024, we sold products and services to ~~361~~325 customers ~~and~~with one product development customer ~~accounted~~accounting for ~~11.4~~approximately 19% of total revenues and another customer accounting for approximately 14% of our total revenues for that year.

Two customer accounts receivable balances accounted for 1532.41% and 1217.19% of total receivables on June 30, ~~2024~~2025. Two customer accounts receivable balances accounted for 1415.04% and 1312.71% of total receivables on June 30, ~~2023~~2024.

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. We believe that we currently comply with all applicable environmental laws and regulations. We use limited amounts of hazardous materials in our operations, and as such, compliance does not entail significant expense to us. We do not believe the costs associated with our compliance with environmental laws are material.

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, design, 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~~may 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 or our customers 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 including medical devices or components of medical devices manufactured for other medical device companies, to require periodic reporting of product defects to the FDA, and to prohibit the sale of devices which do not comply with law.

We design and manufacture components for the defense industry, and import, export and manufacture optical products for the defense industry, some of which is controlled by U.S. regulations. Generally, these regulations require strict control over technical data in documented form and as embodied in products, both within our company and as part of exported shipments. In particular, we maintain a technology control plan, we are ISO certified, and ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations) registered with the U.S. State Department, and we maintain a number of technology assistance agreements with overseas suppliers that have been approved by the U.S. State Department. Non-compliance with applicable requirements can result in U.S. actions that may result in withdrawal or suspension of approvals, suspension of company imports, exports or production, or the imposition of fines or various other penalties.

Foreign Requirements. All our medical products are manufactured in conformity with ISO 13485:2016, using a comprehensive Quality Management System (QMS) that helps meet both international and EU regulatory standards. ISO 13485 is an internationally recognized standard that emphasizes risk management throughout the product lifecycle, from design to post-market surveillance, and aligns with the European Union Medical Device Regulation (“EU MDR”) focus on ensuring the safety and performance of medical devices. ISO 13485 provides a solid foundation for meeting the QMS requirements of the EU MDR. It ensures that manufacturers maintain detailed documentation and traceability of their devices, which is required for compliance with the EU MDR’s requirements. Conformity with ISO 13485 conveys our commitment to maintaining a robust QMS specifically for medical device manufacturing, and consistent quality and regulatory compliance, which is essential to helping our customers achieve ~~compliance~~ compliance with the EU MDR and other international regulatory standards. Our failure to comply with ISO 13485 or other applicable regulatory ~~requirements~~ requirements would jeopardize our ability to sell our products to certain customers who place their product on the EU and other international markets.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

Risks Related to Our Business

We have a history of losses; we may continue to incur losses and not achieve profitability in the near term; and we may need to raise additional funds.

We may continue incurring losses for the foreseeable future and not achieve sustained profitability in the near term. We must generate sufficient cash flow or raise additional capital to pursue our product development initiatives and penetrate markets for the sale of our products. We believe that for the time being we have adequate access to capital resources, however, if in the future we are unable to secure adequate additional capital when needed, we may be required to curtail our research and development initiatives and take additional measures to reduce costs to conserve our cash in amounts sufficient to sustain operations and meet our obligations.

We depend on the availability of certain key supplies and services that are available from only a few sources, and we may experience difficulty with certain suppliers due to national and global economic supply-chain factors and we may have difficulty finding alternative sources of these supplies or services.

We source certain key supplies to develop and manufacture our products, particularly our precision grade optical glass components and CMOS image sensors, which are available from only a few sources, some of which are located in China. Our business could be affected if we become unable to procure these essential materials and services in adequate quantities and at acceptable prices. We continuously evaluate our suppliers and alternative sources. If we experience a shortage of certain supplies and are unable to find an alternative source, our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

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.

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.

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. Additionally, our customers could become unable or unwilling to pay amounts owed to us. Over the past three years, we have not had significant accounts receivable write-offs or significant additions to our accounts receivable reserve and. we have not purchased insurance on our accounts receivable balances. Nonetheless, large uncollectible accounts receivable balances could arise in the future and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

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

Our performance depends on a small number of key scientific, technical, managerial and manufacturing 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.

We must continue to be able to attract and retain 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 and retain 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 and retain such individuals, we may not be able to perform the necessary design services for our customers or produce our products causing damage to our business or an inability to meet customer demand or increase revenues.

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 the clearance to manufacture and market the medical products we currently produce or 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 manufacture and market our current products or may not obtain the necessary regulatory permission, approvals or licenses for the manufacturing or marketing of any of our future products, as may our customers. Also, we cannot predict the impact on our business of FDA regulations or determinations arising from future legislation or administrative action. If we or key customers lose the FDA’s permission to manufacture and market our current products or fail to obtain regulatory permission to manufacture and market 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. 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 continue to be profitable for us throughout the fixed-price period.

We perform engineering and manufacturing services for our customers who could decide to use another vendor for these services in the future.

A significant portion of our revenues are derived from engineering and manufacturing services that we perform to design and fabricate medical device products or sub-assemblies of medical device products for our customers who in turn sell the products to the end users. Our customers typically own the proprietary rights to and control commercial distribution of the final products. Therefore, in many of these cases we do not own the proprietary rights to the medical device products that we manufacture or that our sub-assemblies are made a part of. Our customers could decide to use other suppliers for these services based on cost, quality, delivery time, production capacities, competitive and regulatory considerations or other factors. Thus, revenues from our customers and the products and services we provide them are subject to significant fluctuation on a product-to-product basis from period to period.

We resell products we purchase from third parties and our customers could decide to use another supplier to acquire those products.

Our division Ross Optical primarily acquires specialized optical components and assemblies from third parties pursuant to specifications provided from its customers, inspects and sometimes further processes those products before reselling them to its customers. Because Ross Optical does not manufacture the optical components and assemblies and does not own the intellectual property rights to the products, its customers could choose to obtain those products and services from other sources or could apply pressure to Ross Optical to lower its prices resulting in reduced future gross margins and operating results.

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, most which are 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. We also rely on a limited number of suppliers for specialized CMOS sensors and the electronic wiring of those sensors. 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 who 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 products we assist in developing, manufacture and supply to our customers. Additionally, the products we supply could be used in conjunction with other products in medical device applications, such as certain endoscope products claimed to be associated with surgical suite contamination resulting from their intended re-use and re-sterilization. We maintain product liability insurance to cover us in the event of liability claims, and no such claims have been asserted or threatened against us to date. However, our insurance may not be sufficient to cover all possible future product claims, costs and any resulting 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 have suitable practices and policies in place to address applicable environmental laws and regulations, our business could be severely damaged by any failure to maintain such compliance.

Many 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.

Ross Optical is subject to tariffs and regulatory scrutiny, and it faces the risk of changes to this regulatory environment and business in the future.

Ross Optical is ISO and ITAR registered and currently imports, exports, and manufactures optical products for the defense industry, some of which are controlled by regulations promulgated by the U.S. Departments of State and Commerce. If we fail to comply with the terms of these regulations and registrations, it may lose its ITAR registration or suffer other consequences, such as the withdrawal or suspension of approvals, suspension of imports, exports or production, or the imposition of fines or other penalties.

There is also the risk that new laws or regulations or changes in enforcement practices applicable to our business could be imposed, which may adversely affect our ability to compete effectively with other institutions that are not affected in the same way, or which may impact its supplier and customers. In addition, regulations imposed on market participants such as foreign tariff increases could negatively affect the overall profitability of Ross Optical’ s international business.

Our business and financial performance may be adversely affected by cyber-attacks on information technology infrastructure and products, as well as changes in cybersecurity and if our information technology security systems were infiltrated and confidential and/or proprietary information were taken, we could be subject to fines, lawsuits and loss of customers.

We rely on information technology (IT) systems, including third-party “cloud based” service providers and rely on our electronic information systems to perform routine transactions to run our business. We transact business over the Internet with customers and suppliers and have implemented security measures to protect against unauthorized access to this information. We have also implemented security policies that limit access via the Internet to the Company’s systems through geofencing. We routinely receive security patches from software providers for the software we use. Our primary concerns are inappropriate access to personnel information, information covered under the International Traffic in Arms Regulation, product designs and manufacturing information, financial information and our intellectual property, trade secrets and know-how. Our business may be impacted by disruptions to our own or third-party information technology infrastructure, which could result from, among other causes, cyberattacks on or failures of such infrastructure or compromises to its physical security. Cybersecurity threats are continuously evolving and include, but are not limited to, both attacks on our IT infrastructure and attacks on the IT infrastructure of our customers, suppliers, subcontractors and other third parties with whom we do business routinely, attempting to gain unauthorized access to our confidential, proprietary, or otherwise protected information, classified information, or information relating to our employees, customers and other third parties, or to disrupt our systems or the systems of third parties. We are also exposed to the risk of insider threat attacks. Any such attacks could disrupt our systems or those of third parties, impact business operations, result in unauthorized release of confidential, proprietary, or otherwise protected information, and corrupt our data or that of third parties. The threats we face are continuous and evolving and vary in degree of severity and sophistication. In addition, as a result of the rapid pace of technological change, we and our customers, suppliers, subcontractors and other third parties with whom we conduct business continue to rely on legacy systems and software, which can be more vulnerable to cyber threats and attacks. The sophistication, availability and use of artificial intelligence by threat actors present an increased level of risk. Due to the evolving threat landscape, we expect to experience more frequent and increasingly advanced cyber-attacks. In addition, changes in domestic and international cybersecurity-related laws and regulations have expanded cybersecurity-related compliance requirements, and cybersecurity regulatory enforcement activity has grown. We expect the regulatory environment to continue to evolve, and staying apace with these regulatory changes could increase our operational and compliance expenditures and those of our suppliers, and lead to new or additional information technology and product development expenses. We also face reputational, litigation and financial risks in relation to potential required disclosures and increased risk of enforcement. We continue to make investments and adopt measures designed to enhance our protection, detection, response, and recovery capabilities, and to mitigate potential risks to our technology, products, services and operations from potential cybersecurity threats, as well as to comply with evolving regulations. However, given the unpredictability, nature and scope of cyber-attacks, it is possible that we are unable to defend against all cyber-attacks, that potential vulnerabilities could go undetected and persist in the environment for an extended period, or that we may otherwise be unable to mitigate customer losses and other potential consequences of these attacks. In some cases, we must rely on the safeguards put in place by our customers, suppliers, subcontractors and other third parties to protect against and report cyber threats and attacks. We could potentially be subject to production downtimes, operational delays, other detrimental impacts on our operations or ability to provide products and services to our customers, the compromise of confidential information, intellectual property or otherwise protected information, misappropriation, destruction or corruption of data, security breaches, other manipulation or improper use of our or third-party systems, networks or products, financial losses from remedial actions, loss of business, or potential liability, penalties, fines and/or damage to our reputation. Any of these could have a material adverse effect on our competitive position, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity. Due to the evolving nature of such risks, the impact of any potential incident cannot be predicted.

Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property

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 numerous licensed patents that are important to our business. Although we are not currently aware of any past or present infringements of these patents, we would expect to protect these patents from infringement. 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 may be subject to claims that our employees have wrongfully used or disclosed alleged trade secrets of their former employers.

As is common in the technology industry, we employ individuals who were previously employed at other technology companies, including our competitors or potential competitors. We may be subject to claims that these employees, or we, have used or disclosed trade secrets or other proprietary information of their former employers. Litigation may be necessary to defend against these claims. Even if we are successful in defending against these claims, litigation could result in substantial costs and be a distraction to management.

If we are not able to adequately prevent disclosure of trade secrets and other proprietary information, the value of our technology and products could be significantly diminished.

We rely on trade secrets to protect our proprietary technologies, especially where we do not believe patent protection is appropriate or obtainable. However, trade secrets are difficult to protect. We rely in part on confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants, outside scientific collaborators, and other advisors to protect our trade secrets and other proprietary information. These agreements may not effectively prevent disclosure of confidential information and may not provide an adequate remedy in the event of unauthorized disclosure of confidential information. In addition, others may independently discover our trade secrets and proprietary information. Costly and time-consuming litigation could be necessary to enforce and determine the scope of our proprietary rights, and failure to obtain or maintain trade secret protection could adversely affect our competitive business position.

We will not be able to protect our intellectual property rights throughout the world.

Our business relies on our patents. Filing, prosecuting and defending patents in all countries throughout the world would be prohibitively expensive, and we do not have patent protection outside of the United States. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as federal and state laws in the United States. Consequently, we may not be able to prevent third parties from practicing our inventions in all countries outside the United States or from selling or importing products made using our inventions in and into the United States or other jurisdictions. Competitors may use our technologies in jurisdictions where we have not obtained patent protection to develop their own products and, further, may export otherwise infringing products to territories where we have patent protection, but enforcement is not as strong as that in the United States. These infringing products may compete with the product we develop, without any available recourse.

1110

The laws of some other countries do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. Patent protection must ultimately be sought on a country-by-country basis, which is an expensive and time-consuming process with uncertain outcomes. Accordingly, we may choose not to seek patent protection in certain countries, and we will not have the benefit of patent protection in such countries. In addition, the legal systems of some countries, particularly developing countries, do not favor the enforcement of patents and other intellectual property protection. As a result, many companies have encountered significant problems in protecting and defending intellectual property rights in foreign jurisdictions. Because the legal systems of many foreign countries do not favor the enforcement of patents and other intellectual property protection, it could be difficult for us to stop the infringement, misappropriation or violation of our patents or marketing of competing products in violation of our proprietary rights. Proceedings to enforce our intellectual property and other proprietary rights in foreign jurisdictions could result in substantial costs and divert our efforts and attention from other aspects of our business, could put our patents at risk of being invalidated or interpreted narrowly, could put our patent applications at risk of not issuing and could provoke third parties to assert claims against us. We may not prevail in any lawsuits that we initiate, and the damages or other remedies awarded, if any, may not be commercially meaningful. Accordingly, our efforts to enforce our intellectual property rights around the world may be inadequate to obtain a significant commercial advantage from the intellectual property that we develop or license.

Risks Related to our Stock

Trading in our common stock may be subject to substantial volatility.

Our common stock is quoted on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the symbol POCI. The price of our common stock may be volatile as a result of a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the following:

	·	our ability to successfully conceive and to develop new products and services to enhance the performance characteristics and methods of manufacture of existing products;

	·	our ability to retain existing customers and customers’ continued demand for our products and services;

	·	the timing of our research and development expenditures and of new product introductions;

	·	the timing and level of acceptance of new products or enhanced versions of our existing products; and

	·	price and volume fluctuations in the stock market at large which do not relate to our operating performance.

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:

	·	the timing of completion of significant customer orders;

	·	the timing and amount of our research and development expenditures;

	·	the costs of initial product production in connection with new products;

	·	the timing of new product introductions—both by us and by our competitors;

	·	the timing and level of market acceptance of new products or enhanced versions of our existing products;

	·	our ability to retain existing customers and customers’ continued demand for our products and services;

	·	our customers’ inventory levels, and levels of demand for our customers’ products and services; and

	·	competitive pricing pressures.

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.

We are contractually obligated to issue shares in the future, diluting your percentage interest in us.

We have reserved shares for future issuance under all currently outstanding stock options, we expect to issue additional shares and stock options from time to time to compensate employees, consultants and directors, and we may in the future issue additional shares to raise capital. Any such issuances will have the effect of diluting the percentage interests of other holders of our common stock.

Failure to ~~remediate and then~~ maintain our internal control over our financial reporting could cause our financial reports to be inaccurate.

We are required to maintain internal control over financial reporting and to assess and report on the effectiveness of those controls. This assessment includes disclosure of any material weaknesses identified by our management in our internal control over financial reporting. Our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was ~~ineffective~~effective as of June 30, ~~2024~~2025, ~~and identified certain material weaknesses in our internal controls. While management is working to remediate the material weaknesses~~however, ~~there~~if ~~is no assurance that such changes will remediate the identified material weaknesses or that the controls will prevent or detect future material weaknesses. If~~ we are not able to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, our financial statements, including related disclosures, may be inaccurate, which could have a material adverse effect on our business

Failure to maintain our accounting systems and controls could impair our ability to comply with the financial reporting and internal controls requirements for publicly traded companies.

As a public company, we operate in an increasingly demanding regulatory environment, which requires us to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and the related rules and regulations of the SEC. Company responsibilities required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act include establishing corporate oversight and adequate internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. Effective internal controls are necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and are important to help prevent financial fraud.

Because we are a smaller reporting company and a non-accelerated filer, we are not required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. However, we must perform system and process evaluation and testing of our internal control over financial reporting to allow management to report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in this report and future annual reports on Form 10-K, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. This requires that we incur substantial additional professional fees and internal costs to expand our accounting and finance functions and that we expend significant management efforts.

~~As of June 30, 2024, we discovered weaknesses in our system of internal financial and accounting controls and procedures that could result in a material misstatement of our financial statements.~~ Our internal control over financial reporting will not prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud will be detected.

If we are not able to comply with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, or if we are unable to ~~remediate or~~ maintain proper and effective internal controls, we may not be able to produce timely and accurate financial statements. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our business and results of operations could be harmed, and investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information.

Certain provisions in our organizational documents could enable our board of directors to prevent or delay a change of control .

Our organizational documents contain provisions that may have the effect of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change of control of, or unsolicited acquisition proposals, that a stockholder might consider favorable. These include provisions:

	·	requiring advance notice of director nominations and of business to be brought before a meeting of stockholders;

	·	requiring a majority vote of the outstanding shares of common stock to amend the bylaws; and

	·	limiting the persons who may call special stockholders’ meetings.

1312

In addition, we are subject to the provisions of Chapter 110F of the MBCA. In general, Chapter 110F prohibits a publicly held Massachusetts corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a three-year period following the time that the stockholder becomes an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. A “business combination” includes, among other things, a merger, asset or stock sale or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. An “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or did own within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status, five percent or more of the corporation’s voting stock.

A Massachusetts corporation may “opt out” of these provisions with an express provision in its original articles of organization or an express provision in its articles of organization or bylaws resulting from a stockholders’ amendment approved by at least a majority of the outstanding voting shares. We have not opted out of these provisions. The restrictions contained in Chapter 110F are also not applicable, among other certain exclusions, if the corporation does not have two hundred or more stockholders of record. As of September 2025, ~~2024~~2025, we had ~~118~~121 stockholders of record. As a result, if Chapter 110F is applicable, mergers or other takeover or change in control attempts of us may be discouraged or prevented.

General Risk Factors

Your ownership may be diluted if additional capital stock is issued to raise capital, to finance acquisitions or in connection with strategic transactions.

We intend to seek to raise additional funds, finance acquisitions or develop strategic relationships by issuing equity or convertible debt securities, which would reduce the percentage ownership of our existing stockholders. Our board of directors has the authority, without action or vote of the stockholders, to issue all or any part of our authorized but unissued shares of common stock. Our articles of organization authorize us to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of common stock. Future issuances of common stock would reduce your influence over matters on which stockholders vote and would be dilutive to earnings per share.

Negative research about our business published by analysts or journalists could cause our stock price to decline. A lack of regularly published research about our business could cause trading volume or our stock price to decline.

The trading market for our common stock depends in part on the research and reports that analysts and journalists publish about us or our business. If analysts or journalists publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our stock price would likely decline. If we fail to meet the expectations of analysts for our operating results, or if the analysts who covers us downgrade our stock, our stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage of us or fails to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our stock could decrease, which could cause our stock price and trading volume to decline.

Claims for indemnification by our directors and officers may reduce our available funds to satisfy successful third-party claims against us and may reduce the amount of money available to us.

Our bylaws contain provisions that eliminate, to the maximum extent permitted by the MBCA, the personal liability of our directors and executive officers for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as a director or officer. Our bylaws also provide that we will indemnify our directors and executive officers and may indemnify our employees and other agents to the fullest extent permitted by the MBCA. Any claims for indemnification made by our directors or officers could impact our cash resources and our ability to fund the business.

We have no intention of declaring dividends in the foreseeable future.

The decision to pay cash dividends on our common stock rests with our board of directors and will depend on our earnings, unencumbered cash, capital requirements and financial condition. We do not anticipate declaring any dividends in the foreseeable future, as we intend to use any excess cash to fund our operations. Investors in our common stock should not expect to receive dividend income on their investment, and investors will be dependent on the appreciation of our common stock to earn a return on their investment.

1413

Artificial intelligence presents risks and challenges that can impact our business, including by posing security risks to our confidential information, proprietary information and personal data.

Issues in the development and use of artificial intelligence, combined with an uncertain regulatory environment, may result in reputational harm, liability, or other adverse consequences to our business operations. As with many technological innovations, artificial intelligence presents risks and challenges that could impact our business. We may adopt and integrate generative artificial intelligence tools into our systems for specific use cases reviewed by legal and information security. Our vendors may incorporate generative artificial intelligence tools into their offerings without disclosing this use to us, and the providers of these generative artificial intelligence tools may not meet existing or rapidly evolving regulatory or industry standards with respect to privacy and data protection and may inhibit our or our vendors’ ability to maintain an adequate level of service and experience. If we, our vendors, or our third-party partners experience an actual or perceived breach or privacy or security incident because of the use of generative artificial intelligence, we may lose valuable intellectual property and confidential information and our reputation and the public perception of the effectiveness of our security measures could be harmed. Further, bad actors around the world use increasingly sophisticated methods, including the use of artificial intelligence, to engage in illegal activities involving the theft and misuse of personal information, confidential information, and intellectual property. Any of these outcomes could damage our reputation, result in the loss of valuable property and information, and adversely impact our business.

Changes in U.S. Tariff Policy and Related Trade Actions Could Adversely Affect Our International Supply Chain, Costs, and Competitive Position

Our business is subject to risks associated with changes in U.S. tariff policy and related trade actions, which could materially and adversely affect our operations, financial condition, and results of operations. We rely on a global supply chain for the procurement of specialized optical components and assemblies, many of which are sourced from overseas suppliers. The imposition of new tariffs increases in existing tariffs, or other trade restrictions by the United States government on goods imported from certain countries—including, but not limited to, China and other key trading partners—could increase our cost of goods sold and disrupt the availability of critical components necessary for our products.

In response to evolving U.S. trade policy, affected countries may implement retaliatory tariffs or other trade barriers on U.S. goods, which could further impact our ability to source materials at competitive prices or to sell our products in certain international markets. These developments may also result in increased volatility in global markets, supply chain disruptions, and reduced demand for our products due to higher prices or decreased competitiveness relative to foreign and domestic competitors not subject to similar tariffs.

While we seek to mitigate the impact of tariffs through supply chain diversification and price negotiations, such measures may not be successful or may result in increased costs, delays, or operational inefficiencies. Sustained or additional tariffs could require us to raise prices, which may reduce customer demand and adversely affect our revenues and market share. Furthermore, uncertainty regarding future U.S. trade policy and the potential for further changes in tariffs or trade agreements may make it more difficult for us to plan and conduct our business effectively.

Any significant increase in tariffs, expansion of trade restrictions, or prolonged uncertainty regarding U.S. trade policy could materially adversely affect our ability to source components, manage costs, and compete effectively in our markets, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

None.

ITEM 1C. CYBERSECURITY.

Risk Management and Strategy

As a company selling products, including those for defense applications, we may be the target of cyber-attacks from a variety of threat actors. Cybersecurity threats include attacks on, or other attempts to infiltrate, our information technology (IT) infrastructure and the IT infrastructure of our customers, suppliers, subcontractors and other third parties, attempting to gain unauthorized access to our confidential or other proprietary information, classified information, or information relating to our employees, customers, and other third parties, or to disrupt our systems or the systems of our customers, suppliers, subcontractors, and other third parties. Cybersecurity threats also include attempts to infiltrate our products or services, including attacks targeting the security, confidentiality, integrity and/or availability of the hardware, software and information installed, stored or transmitted in our products, including after the purchase of those products and when they are incorporated into third-party products, facilities, or infrastructure.

Our Cybersecurity Program.

Our products and services are normally classified as EAR 99 by the U.S. government, but our defense customers generally require compliance with the International Traffic in Arms Regulation (“ITAR”). Moreover, our products sold for defense applications are integrated with our customers’ products and these customers may provide us with Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) that requires, safeguarding and dissemination controls in accordance with laws, regulations, or Government-wide policies. Given the nature of our business and the cybersecurity risks we face, we have instituted cybersecurity measures for identifying, assessing, and managing cybersecurity risks, which include material risks from cybersecurity threats to our internal systems, our products, services and programs for customers, and our supply chain.

The goals of our enterprise cybersecurity program align with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) standards, among others. The program includes processes and controls for the deployment of new IT systems by the Company and controls over new and existing system operations. We, or contracted third parties ~~we contract with~~, monitor and conduct regular testing of these controls and systems, including vulnerability management through active discovery and ~~testing~~ testing to regularly assess patching and configuration status. In addition, we require our employees to complete data security training, and we regularly conduct simulated phishing and cyber-related communications.

Incident Response.

Our cybersecurity program includes monitoring for potential security threats that may lead to vulnerabilities. We evaluate and assign severity levels to incidents, escalate and engage an incident response team based on severity, and manage and mitigate the related risks. Incidents are reported internally to members of senior management and/or the Board of Directors as appropriate based on severity and incident type and are also analyzed for external reporting requirements. Our incident response process is also designed to coordinate functions to enable continuity of essential business operation in the event of a cyber crisis.

Third Party Service Providers.

We engage third party service providers to expand the capabilities and capacity of our cybersecurity program, including for design, monitoring and testing of the program’s risk prevention and protection measures, and process execution including incident detection, investigation, analysis and response, eradication, and recovery. Our Chief Financial Officer and Vice President of Engineering meet regularly with third party service providers to review their performance and progress towards our cybersecurity initiatives.

Program Assessment.

We continuously evaluate and seek to improve and mature our cybersecurity processes against government standards. Our cybersecurity program is regularly assessed through management self-evaluation and ongoing monitoring procedures to evaluate our program effectiveness, including assessments associated with internal controls over financial reporting as well as vulnerability management through active discovery and testing to validate patching and configuration. As cybersecurity threats are continuously evolving, we also periodically engage with third parties to perform maturity assessments of our program to identify potential risk areas and improvement opportunities. This includes assessment of our overall program, policies and processes, compliance with regulatory requirements and an overall assessment of key vulnerabilities. We use these assessments to supplement our own evaluation of the overall health of our program and target improvement areas.

Board Oversight and Management’s Role

Our Board of Directors has primary oversight responsibility for enterprise cybersecurity risks. The Audit Committee also considers enterprise cybersecurity risks in connection with its financial and compliance risk oversight role. The Chief Financial Officer regularly reports to the Board of Directors on the status of the Company’s cybersecurity program and provides the Board with the annual assessment by a third party on the Company’s cybersecurity program.

For more information on risks related to cybersecurity, see Item IA. “Risk Factors” of this Form 10-K.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.

We conduct our domestic operations at four facilities in Gardner, Massachusetts, one facility in El Paso, Texas, and one facility in Windham, Maine. The facilities in El Paso and Windham are leased from unrelated parties. The Company leases its primary facility in Gardner, Massachusetts from Equity Assets, Inc. (“EAI”), an entity formerly owned by the Company’s founder Richard E. Forkey and then later owned by a trust controlled by his step-daughter, established for the benefit of the step-daughter and four siblings (including Joseph N. Forkey, who is Chief Executive Officer, President, Treasurer and a Director of the Company). The original lease for the principal facility in Gardner expired in 1999, and the Company has since been a tenant-at-will, paying rent to EAI of $9,000 per month for that facility. On July 19, 2023, the trust distributed the EAI shares equally among the five beneficiaries (20% each). Those shareholders then entered into a shareholder agreement under which all five were elected as directors of EAI and under which Joseph N. Forkey has been elected as president. The shareholder agreement provides that Dr. Forkey will be recused from any matters involving negotiations with the Company, including without limitation any lease negotiations. Dr. Forkey is not compensated by EAI for his services as president or a director, and his present 20% interest in rents being received from the Company is $21,600 per year.

WeOn ~~believe~~May ~~these~~13, ~~facilities~~2025, inthe ~~Gardner~~Company entered into a First Lease Extension Agreement (the “Extension”) with Texzona Industries, Inc., pursuant to which the Company will continue to lease approximately 9,375 square feet of commercial space located at 1410 Gail Borden, El Paso, ~~and Windham~~Texas. ~~are~~The ~~adequate~~term of Extension is for ~~our~~a period ~~current~~of ~~operations~~36 months commencing on June 1, 2025 and ~~are~~shall ~~adequately~~end ~~covered~~on byMay ~~insurance~~31, 2028. ~~Significant~~Base ~~increases~~rent infor ~~production~~each oryear of the ~~addition~~term is $49,219, $50,695 ofand ~~significant~~$52,216. ~~equipment~~In ~~additions~~addition orto ~~manufacturing~~base ~~capabilities~~rent, inthe ~~connection~~Company ~~with~~is ~~manufacturing,~~responsible ~~however~~for taxes, ~~require~~insurance ~~improvements~~and tocommon ~~existing~~area maintenance (“CAM”). ~~facilities~~Beginning orJune 1, 2025, the ~~acquisition~~total orestimated ~~lease~~monthly ofrental ~~additional~~payment ~~facilities~~including CAM is $5,773.

On May 14, 2025, the Company entered into a Lease Agreement (the “Southborough Lease”) with 500 Southborough, LLC, pursuant to which the Company has leased approximately 8,750 square feet of commercial space located at 500 Southborough Drive, City of South Portland, County of Cumberland, Maine. The commencement date was August 1, 2025. The Southborough Lease provides the Company with two options to extend the term for additional five-year periods, exercisable with at least nine months’ prior written notice. Base rent for the initial term is abated for the first five months following the commencement date, after which annual base rent payable is $131,250 (or $10,937.50 per month), with annual increases of 3%. Base rent for any extension term will be as agreed by the parties or, if not agreed, at 95% of the then-current fair market base rental rate for similar space in South Portland, as determined by appraisal, with annual increases of 3% during each extension term.

In addition to base rent, the Company is responsible for its proportionate share (19.34%) of Operating Expenses, as defined in the Lease. The Lease is structured as a triple net lease. The Company was entitled to a tenant improvement allowance of $25 per rentable square foot for fit-up costs and $0.15 per rentable square foot for architectural costs, to be disbursed as costs are incurred. The Landlord was responsible for completing certain improvements to the Premises prior to occupancy, including interior wall construction, loading area, and separate utility metering. The lease commencement date of the Southborough Lease was August 1, 2025.

On June 2, 2025, the Company entered into a Lease Agreement (the “Lease”) with 550 King Street, LLC (the “Landlord”), pursuant to which the Company has leased approximately 19,590 rentable square feet of commercial space located at 550 King Street, Building A, Suite 100, Littleton, Massachusetts (the “Premises”). The Lease provides for an initial term of seven and one half (7.5) years, commencing upon substantial completion of tenant improvements and receipt of a certificate of occupancy (the “Term Commencement Date”). The Term Commencement Date was September 10, 2025.

The Lease includes two options to extend the term for additional five-year periods, exercisable with at least nine months’ prior written notice. Base rent for the initial term is abated for the first six months following the Term Commencement Date, after which base rent is payable as follows: The annual base rent for the first year of the lease is $361,435.50 (or $30,119.63 per month), and such annual base rent increases by three percent (3%) each lease year over the previous year’s annual base rent. In addition to base rent, the Company is responsible for its pro-rata share (7.22%) of real estate taxes and operating expenses, as further defined in the Lease. The Lease provides for the permitted use of the Premises for general office, laboratory, manufacturing, warehousing, showroom, and related legal uses. The Lease grants the Company a right of first offer on contiguous space that becomes available in the building during the lease term or any extension.

The extensions associated with the leases discussed above have been accounted for with the assumption that they will not be extended.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

Our Company, on occasion, may become involved in legal matters arising in the ordinary course of our business, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. We are not currently 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.

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.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Allowance for Credit Losses

We are subject to credit risk primarily in our trade accounts receivable. We generally do not require collateral or other security as a condition of sale, rather we rely on credit approval, balance limitation and monitoring procedures to control credit risk in trade account financial instruments. Our customer base includes many large medical device and defense/aerospace companies, as well as newly incorporated entities pursuing emerging technologies. In those cases when we cannot determine the creditworthiness of our customer, we obtain prepayments and deposits that we judge will be sufficient to mitigate the risk of a significant financial loss. We establish reserves against losses that include both a review of specific ~~account~~ account balances and current payment characteristics which are monitored contemporaneously to determine the adequacy of our reserve. Nevertheless, our customers may be adversely impacted by economic factors beyond our understanding and control, and which are difficult to foresee or estimate. A 1% increase in the accounts receivable reserve would increase our costs by approximately $3744,000. We recognized bad debt ~~expense~~expenses of $~~202~~38,000 and $~~488~~202,000 for the years ending June 30, ~~2024~~2025, and June 30, ~~2023~~2024, respectively.

Reserve for Excess and Obsolete Inventory

Inventories, consisting of raw materials, work in process and finished goods, are primarily accounted for using the first-in first-out method, and are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. This valuation requires us to make judgments, based on currently available information, regarding product demand and the potential for a future financial loss resulting from the liquidation and disposal of unusable or unsaleable inventory. These assumptions about the future disposition of inventory are inherently uncertain, and changes in our estimates and assumptions may require us to realize write-downs. In addition, we enter into binding supplier commitments which are based on forecasted customer demand. If our customers reduce their forecasts, we may incur additional costs. An increase in the calculation of the reserve for excess and obsolete inventory equivalent to 1% of gross inventory value would increase our costs by approximately $3539,000.

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

Total revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, ~~2024~~ 2025 were $19,~~104~~091,~~350~~269, as compared to $2119,~~044~~104,~~467~~350 for the same period in the prior year, a decrease of $113,~~940~~081,~~117,~~ or 90.21%. ~~Of this decrease, $600,000 was attributable to the sale of one-time technology rights sold in December 2022 with the remaining decrease of 6.6% attributable to the factors discussed below.~~

Revenue from Engineering Design Services ~~increased~~decreased 2342.70% during the year ending June 30, ~~2024~~2025 from the prior year ending June 30, ~~2023~~2024.

Revenue from Ross Optical Industries decreased 9.8% for the year ending June 30, 2025 from the prior year ending June 30, 2024. We believe the decrease continues to be attributable to a general, industry-wide slowdown, coupled with uncertainty driven by evolving tariff costs, which has led customers to postpone deliveries.

Gross Profit

Gross margin decreased to 3017.38% during the year ~~ended~~ ended June 30, ~~2024~~2025, compared to 3630.83% for the year ended June 30, ~~2023~~2024.

The $600,000 one-time technology rights revenue in December 2022 of the prior year had a significant impact on gross margin as it did not have any cost of sales associated with it. Excluding that revenue from both sales and gross profit for comparison purposes, the gross margin would have been 34.9% for the year ending June 30, 2023.

Research & Development

R&D expenses ~~decreased~~increased $10176,~~594~~182 to $~~981~~1,~~781 during~~157,963 during the year ended June 30, ~~2024~~2025, compared to $~~992~~981,~~375~~781 during the year ended June 30, ~~2023~~2024. R&D expenses for the period primarily ~~represent~~ represent employee-related expenses to support product improvements, ~~and~~ the development of new technologies and standardized approaches to address the opportunities for an evolving single-use medical device environment.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

During the year ended June 30, 2025, net cash used in investing activities was $233,473, consisting of purchases of property and equipment net of adjustments in patent costs. During the year ended June 30, 2024, net cash used in investing activities was $293,883, consisting of purchases of property and equipment and patent costs.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

During the year ended June 30, 2025, we made payments of $321,554 on term notes and capital leases and repaid $1,000,000 on our revolving line of credit. We raised a net of $6,270,136 from two registered direct offerings made in August 2024 and February 2025 pursuant to our shelf registration statement. During the year ended June 30, 2024, we made payments of $556,468 on term notes and capital leases offset by borrowings on the line of credit of $1,000,000.

On October 4, 2021, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement with Main Street Bank of Marlborough, Massachusetts (the “Lender”), 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. There were no borrowings under the Revolver at June 30, 2025.

The Company’s Loan Agreement with the Lender contains a minimum annual debt service coverage ratio covenant of 1.2x. As the Company did not meet this annual debt service coverage ratio for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, the Company’s Lender had 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 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 commenced payments of 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. On February 14, 2025, the lender agreed to waive compliance with the annual debt service coverage ratio covenant for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025, subject to a $30,000 waiver fee and the completion of an equity raise of at least $4,500,000 by February 24, 2025, which the Company satisfied on February 21, 2025. Any future advances are contingent on the Company achieving a minimum Debt Service Coverage ratio of 1.20x based on quarterly testing which the company was not in compliance with as of June 30, 2025. There were no other changes to or modifications to the Loan Agreement or the Notes.

On August 14. 2024 we entered into securities purchase agreements with institutional and accredited investors in addition to certain directors and officers of the Company for the purchase and sale of 265,868 shares of the Company’s common stock resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $1.4 million before deducting placement agent commissions and other estimated offering expenses. Net proceeds were approximately $1.2 million.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Precision Optics Corporation, Inc.

Opinion on the ~~Consolidated~~ Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying ~~consolidated~~ balance ~~sheets~~ sheets of Precision Optics Corporation, Inc. (the “Company”) as of June 30, ~~2024~~2025 and ~~2023~~2024, and the related ~~consolidated~~ statements of ~~income~~operations, ~~comprehensive income,~~ stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended June 30, ~~2024~~ 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “~~consolidated~~ financial statements”). In our opinion, the ~~consolidated~~ financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, ~~2024~~2025 and ~~2023~~2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended June 30, ~~2024~~2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These ~~consolidated~~ financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s ~~consolidated~~ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the ~~standards~~ standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the ~~consolidated~~ financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we ~~engaged~~ engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, 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.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the ~~consolidated~~ financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the ~~consolidated~~ financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the ~~consolidated~~ financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the ~~consolidated~~ financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the ~~consolidated~~ financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the ~~consolidated~~ financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

~~F-1~~Revenue Recognition—Refer to Note A to the Financial Statements

Revenue Recognition—Refer to Note A to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Critical Audit Matter Description

The Company recognizes revenue upon transfer of control of promised products to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products. The Company may enter into certain customer contracts that contain unique, customer-specific terms and conditions, variable consideration, as well as multiple performance obligations. For such contracts, significant interpretation may be required to determine the appropriate accounting, including the identification of performance obligations, the allocation of the transaction price to performance obligations in the arrangement, the timing of the transfer of control of promised goods for each of those performance obligations, estimates of variable consideration and agent versus principal consideration.

Our assessment of managements’ evaluation of the above referenced matters related to proper revenue recognition is significant to our audit because of the nature and extent of audit effort required to address the matter, the amounts are material to the financial statements, the assessment process involves significant auditor judgment, and the application of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles in this area is complex.

F-1

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

Our principal audit procedures related to the Company’s revenue recognition for customer contracts included the following:

· We evaluated the appropriateness of management’s revenue recognition policies. · We tested the mathematical accuracy of management’s calculations of revenue and the associated timing of revenue recognized in the ~~consolidated~~ financial statements. · We selected a sample of revenue transactions and performed the following procedures:

	o	Obtained and read source documents for each selection, including master agreements, purchase orders and other documents that evidenced the customer arrangement.
	o	Tested management’s identification and treatment of the key contract terms, including performance obligations and variable consideration.
	o	Assessed the terms in the customer agreement and evaluated the appropriateness of management’s application of the Company’s accounting policies, along with their use of estimates, in the determination of revenue recognition conclusions.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a)

Nature of Business

Precision Optics Corporation, Inc. (the “Company”) designs, develops, manufactures and sells specialized optical and illumination systems and related components. The Company conducts business in one industry segment only and its customers are primarily domestic. The Company performs advanced optical and illumination system design, development, assembly and manufacturing services, and sources for resale specialized optical components for products that fall into two principal areas: (i) medical products for use by hospitals and physicians; and (ii) products used by defense contractors, ~~and~~aerospace ~~industrial~~and industrial customers.

(b) ~~Reverse Stock Split~~Revenues

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

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

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

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, (“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, we satisfy the performance obligations. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, we assess 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.

~~F-7~~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 year ended June 30, 2025, and 2024:

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.

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 three product and service types appear below.

Engineering Design Services

The Company enters into contractual agreements with our 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 we have 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.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

The nature of the Company’s products and ~~services~~ 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~~ 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 June 30, ~~2024~~2025 and ~~2023~~ 2024, there were no contract assets recorded in the Company’s ~~Consolidated~~ Balance Sheets.

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

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

Schedule of contract liabilities
	Year Ended June 30,
	2024			2023
	2025			2024
Contract liabilities, beginning of period	$	1,~~174~~172,~~690~~350		$	~~905~~1,~~113~~174,690
Unearned revenue received from customers		1,~~946~~364,~~946~~332			21,~~545~~946,~~317~~946
Revenue recognized		(1714,~~949,286~~753	)		(21,~~275~~949,~~740~~286	)
Contract liabilities, end of period	$	1,~~172~~821,~~350~~929		$	1,~~174~~172,~~690~~350

(dc) 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 $~~405~~1,~~278~~773,735 and $2405,~~925,852~~278 on June 30, ~~2024~~2025 and ~~2023~~2024, 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.

(ed) Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) and net realizable value and include material, labor and manufacturing overhead. The components of inventories on June 30, ~~2024~~2025 and ~~2023~~2024 are as follows:

Schedule of inventory
	2024		2023
	2025		2024
Raw material	$	1,~~570~~799,~~135~~624	$	1,~~142~~570,~~816~~135
Work-in-progress		~~157~~598,~~406~~720		~~322~~157,~~538~~406
Finished goods		1,~~140~~163,~~559~~768		1,~~310~~140,~~862~~559
Total Inventories	$	2,868,100	$	2,776,216
Total Inventories (Net)	$	3,562,112	$	2,868,100

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 writeF-~~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.~~ 8

If actual demand and market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-9downs 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. The reserve for excess and obsolete inventory for the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, were $272,894 and $266,843, respectively.

(fe) Fixed Assets

Fixed assets 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 fixed assets over the following estimated useful lives:

Schedule of estimated useful lives
Asset Classification		Estimated Useful Life
Machinery and equipment		2-7 years
Leasehold improvements		Shorter of lease term or estimated useful life
Furniture and fixtures		5 years
Vehicles		3 years

Depreciation ~~and amortization~~ expense was $~~212~~186,~~382~~ 990 and $~~210~~212,~~735~~ 382 for the years ended June 30, ~~2024~~2025 and ~~2023~~2024, respectively.

(gf) Significant Customers and Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that subject the Company to 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, ~~2024~~2025, and ~~2023~~2024, two individual customers accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s total accounts receivable.

The allowance for credit losses was $~~118~~80,~~872 at~~192 at June 30, ~~2024~~2025, and $~~606~~118,~~715~~ 872 at June 30, ~~2023~~2024.

Schedule of allowance for credit losses
	Year Ended June 30,
	2024			2023
	2025			2024
Allowance for credit losses, beginning of period	$	~~606~~118,~~715~~872		$	44606,~~135~~715
Change in the provision for expected credit losses		(2344,~~541~~858	)		~~567~~(23,~~066~~541	)
Writeoffs charged against the allowance		~~(464~~6,~~302~~178	)		(4464,~~847~~302	)
Allowance for credit losses, end of period	$	~~118~~80,~~872~~192		$	~~606~~118,~~715~~872

In the year ended June 30, 2023, the Company increased the credit loss reserve to cover potential losses due to the insolvency of one customer and wrote off the receivable against the reserve during the year ended June 30, 2024. 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 in trade account financial instruments. Management believes the allowance for credit losses, which is established based upon review of specific account balances and historical experience, is adequate at June 30, ~~2024~~2025.

(hg) 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 years ended June 30, ~~2024~~2025 and ~~2023~~2024, the effect of such securities was antidilutive and not included in the diluted calculation because of the net loss generated in those periods.

F-109

The following is the calculation of loss per share for the years ended June 30, ~~2024~~2025 and ~~2023~~2024:

Schedule of loss per share
	Year Ended June 30,
	2024			2023
	2025			2024
Net Loss– Basic and Diluted	$	(25,~~951~~780,~~377~~246	)	$	(~~144~~2,~~613~~951,377	)
Basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding		6,~~068~~790,~~329~~466			56,~~666~~068,~~034~~329
Loss per share
Basic and fully diluted	$	(0.4985	)	$	(0.0349	)

The number of shares issuable upon the exercise of of outstanding stock options and warrants that were excluded from the computation as their effect was antidilutive was approximately 1,~~357~~623,~~735~~576 and 1,~~017~~357,~~041~~735 for the years ended June 30, ~~2024~~2025 and ~~2023~~2024, respectively.

(ih) Stock-Based Compensation

The measurement and recognition of compensation ~~costs~~ 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~~ 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, ~~2024~~2025, and ~~2023~~2024 amounted to $~~959~~1,~~784~~612,106 and $~~919~~959,~~032~~784, respectively.

(ji) Goodwill and Patents

Long-lived assets such as goodwill and patents ~~are~~ are capitalized when acquired and reviewed for impairment on an annual basis or 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 during the years ended June 30, 2025 or 2024. orAmortization ~~2023~~expense for the year ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was $25,448 and $0, respectively.

(kj) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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

(lk) 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. There were no reimbursements for research and development recorded in research and development for the years ended June 30, ~~2024~~2025, and ~~2023~~ 2024.

~~F-11~~(l) Comprehensive Income

~~(m)~~ Comprehensive ~~Income~~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-owner sources. The Company’s comprehensive loss or income for the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was equal to its net loss for the same periods.

~~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~~F-~~owner sources. The Company’s comprehensive loss or income for the years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was equal to its net loss for the same periods.~~10

(nm) 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.

(on) 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.

(po) 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.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (2Topic 220): ~~BUSINESS~~Expense ~~ACQUISITION~~Disaggregation Disclosures. Additionally, in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01 to clarify the effective date of ASU 2024- 03. This ASU provides guidance to expand disclosures related to the disaggregation of income statement expenses. This ASU also requires, in the notes to the financial statements, disclosure of specified information about certain costs and expenses which includes purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization included in each relevant expense caption. ASU 2025-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, on a retrospective or prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. This ASU will be effective for the Company’s Form 10-K for fiscal 2028 and Form 10-Q filed thereafter. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU may have on our financial statement disclosures.

On October 4, 2021, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement to acquire substantially all of the assets of Lighthouse Imaging, LLC, a medical optics and digital imaging business. The aggregate cash purchase price consisted of $(2~~,855,063~~) in cash at closing, 833,333 shares of common stock and $1,500,000 as earn-out consideration over the subsequent two-year period. The earn-out consideration of $1,500,000, which would have been paid at a rate of $750,000 per annum from October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2023 was not paid because the required levels of gross profit were not attained. Accordingly, the Company recognized a gain on the revaluation of the contingent earn-out liability for the final year of the earn-out in the year ended June 30, 2023.COMMITMENTS

As of June 30, 2024, the unrecognized compensation costs related to options vesting in the future is $1,053,617. 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, 2024, or 2023, as the Company is currently in a loss position. There were 285,527 stock options granted during the year ended June 30, 2024, and 267,336 stock options granted during the year ended June 30, 2023.F-13

Schedule of fair value of option assumptions
	Year Ended
	June 30, 2024		June 30, 2023
Assumptions:
Option life	6.25 years		5.3 years
Risk-free interest rate		4.35-4.47%		3.0-7.0%
Weighted average stock volatility		99.4%		101.9%
Dividend yield		0.0%		0.0%
Weighted average fair value of grants	$	4.69	$	4.77

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 year 2025:


	Year Ended
	June 30, 2025		June 30, 2024
Assumptions:
Option life		6.25 years		6.25 years
Risk-free interest rate		4.02-4.52%		4.35-4.47%
Weighted average stock volatility		98.12%		99.4%

Weighted average fair value of grants	$	3.84	$	4.69

Stock Option Plans

The type of share-based payments currently utilized by the Company is stock options.

The Company has four stock option plans outstanding as of June 30, ~~2024~~2025, namely the Precision Optics Corporation, Inc. 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2022 Plan”), the Precision Optics Corporation, Inc. 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”), the Precision Optics Corporation, Inc. 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”) and the Precision Optics Corporation, Inc. 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”). Vesting periods under each of the Plans are at the discretion of the Board of Directors and typically average three years and in some instances are subject to future performance criteria. Options under these Plans are granted at fair market value on the date of grant and typically have an initial term of ten years from the date of grant, subject to certain cancellation provisions such as upon employment termination. The Company has filed Registration Statements on Form S-8 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to register all shares of common stock issuable under the 2022, 2021, 2011, and 2006 Plans.

~~F-15~~On April 8, 2022, our Shareholders approved the 2022 Plan which provides eligible participants (certain employees, directors, consultants, etc.) the opportunity to receive a broad variety of equity based and cash awards.

(5) 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 2018 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 state income tax liability of $1,936 for the years ended June 30, ~~2024~~2025, and ~~2023~~2024.

~~A reconciliation of the federal statutory rate to the Company’s effective tax rate for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 is as follows:~~F-15

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 were ~~not~~ effective as of June 30, ~~2024 due to the existence of the material weaknesses described below~~2025.

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.

AUnder ~~“material~~the ~~weakness”~~supervision isand ~~defined~~with asthe aparticipation ~~significant~~of ~~deficiency~~our management, orincluding aour ~~combination~~Chief ofExecutive ~~significant~~Officer ~~deficiencies,~~and ~~that~~our ~~results~~Chief inFinancial ~~more~~Officer, ~~than~~we aconducted ~~remote~~an ~~likelihood~~assessment ~~that~~of athe ~~material misstatement~~effectiveness of ~~the~~our ~~annual~~internal orcontrol ~~interim~~over financial ~~statements~~reporting ~~will~~as ~~not~~of beJune ~~prevented~~30, ~~or detected~~2025.

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, 2024. 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 (2013). Based on our evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of June 30, 2024.

The following is a description of a material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and planned and implemented remediation:

We did not properly value our raw material and work-in-process inventory resulting in an overstatement of inventory and an understatement of cost of goods sold in the amount of $320,000. We used a manually updated spreadsheet to maintain our records of quantities and costs in inventory, prior to transitioning to a new ERP system. The new ERP system was not properly updated to reflect current costs, and proper units of measure for certain items in inventory. To address and remediate this material weakness, beginning with the quarter ending September 30, 2024, we will implement compensating controls, including conducting a thorough review of inventory item costs, updating incorrect item costs and units of measure in the new ERP system and establishing a methodology to continually monitor changes in costs through an analysis of purchase price variances and customer margin analysis.

We did not properly expense certain research and development costs totaling $147,000. We erroneously believed certain research and development costs were allowed to be capitalized under GAAP. The result was understatement of research and development expense by $147,000. The remediation of this material weakness has now been completed.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

~~Except~~There ~~as described in the preceding section, there~~ has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the 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.

During the three months ended June 30, ~~2024~~2025, no director or officer of the Company adopted or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement,” as each term is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.

Our loan agreement contains a minimum annual debt service coverage ratio covenant of 1.2x, for the period ending June 30, 2024. We did not meet this annual debt service coverage ratio as of June 30, 2024. Our lender has agreed to waive compliance with the debt service ratio covenant for the period ending June 30, 2024. In addition to the waiver, we have entered into amendments dated September 30, 2024 with our lender to both term loans which provide for a six month period of interest only payments from September 15, 2024 through February 15, 2025. We will begin to pay principal and interest under the Notes beginning with the payments due on March 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.
