If the answer is no, identify report(s).    x  Yes    ¨  No

 


 

(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?    x  Yes    ¨  No

If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, we will report total revenues of $13.35 million compared to $12.17 million for the previous fiscal year, an increase of 10%. Net loss for fiscal 2007 is $2.61 million, or $0.58 per share. For fiscal 2006, we reported a net loss of $3.37 million, or $0.86 per share.

The revenue increase for the year is primarily attributable to increases in aspheric lenses offset by decreases in products sold to the telecommunications industry.

Gross margin for the full year 2007 was $3.05 million (gross margin percentage of 23%) vs. gross margin line last fiscal year of $2.05 million (gross margin percentage of 17%). The primary reason for these improved gross margins is the increased production at the Company’s Shanghai manufacturing facility. The Shanghai facility contributed more than 75% of the production of molded optics in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by approximately $81,000 to $4.5 million in fiscal 2007 from $4.43 million in fiscal 2006. The increase was primarily due to increased stock compensation expense for stock options and restricted stock issued in October 2006. During fiscal 2007 we have reduced expenses by a voluntary reduction in executive and board compensation.

New product development costs in fiscal 2007 increased by approximately $134,000 to approximately $1.2 million. This increase was primarily due to increased materials cost and labor for our China engineering staff.

In fiscal 2007 our amortization of intangibles decreased by approximately $27,000 to approximately $33,000 from approximately $60,000 in fiscal 2006. This decrease was due to certain of our patents becoming fully amortized in early fiscal 2007.

Interest expense increased by approximately $36,000 to $58,000 of income from approximately $22,000 of expense in fiscal 2006. This is primarily due to a $500,000 equipment line of credit being converted to a three-year note in February 2007.

Other income decreased by approximately $4,000 to $120,000 of income from approximately $124,000 of income in fiscal 2006, due to interest earned on lower cash balances.

Net loss for fiscal 2007 was approximately $2.6 million compared with $3.4 million in fiscal 2006, an improvement of approximately $754,000.
