PRECISION OPTICS CORPORATION, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

 

 

1.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Principles of Consolidation and Operations

 

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

 

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, without audit, and reflect normal recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results of the third quarter and ninefirst six months of the Company’s fiscal year 2023.2024. These consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures associated with annual consolidated financial statements and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with footnotes contained in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2022,2023, together with the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm filed under cover of the Company’s 20222023 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 27, 2022.28, 2023.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to conform the prior period consolidated financial statements to the current period.

Reverse Stock Split

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 this Form 10-Q 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.

Use of Estimates

 

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

 

Income (Loss) Per Share

 

Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income or net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, plus the number of potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period such as stock options. For the three months and ninesix months ended MarchDecember 31, 2023, and 2022,potentially dilutive securities outstanding have been excluded from the effectcomputations of weighted-average shares outstanding because such securities washave an antidilutive and not included in the fully diluted calculation because ofimpact due to the net loss generatedreported during those periods.

The following is the calculation of income (loss) per share for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022: 

Schedule of earnings per share

The number of shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options that were excluded from the computation as their effectof fully dilutive weighted average shares outstanding was antidilutive wasapproximately 1,058,6301,256,141 for the three and ninesix months ended MarchDecember 31, 2023, respectively, and 939,1662023.

Income Taxes

 

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

  

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

 

8

Goodwill and Patents

 

Long-lived assets such as goodwill and patents are capitalized when acquired and reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the book value of the asset may not be recoverable. Impairment of the carrying value of long-lived assets such as goodwill and patents would be indicated if the best estimate of future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset grouping is less than its carrying value. If an impairment is indicated, any loss is measured as the difference between estimated fair value and carrying value and is recognized in operating income or loss. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. No such impairments of goodwill or patents have been estimated by management as of MarchDecember 31, 2023.

2.REVISION OF THE FIRST AND SECOND QUARTER FISCAL YEAR 2023 UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

During the third quarter of fiscal year 2023, the Company identified errors in the accrual of certain costs for the fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2022, which resulted in an understatement of accounts payable and costs of goods sold for those two quarters. The corrections of these errors impacted the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the first and second quarters of fiscal year 2023. The Company assessed the applicable guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and concluded these misstatements were not material, individually or in the aggregate, to its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the aforementioned interim periods. However, because of the significance of these items, and to facilitate comparisons among periods, the Company decided to revise the previously issued first and second quarter unaudited condensed consolidated financial information by increasing accounts payable and cost of goods sold by $85,213 and 125,752 in the quarters ended September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2022, respectively. These quarterly and year to date financial statements will be revised in subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission that include such statements, including when the first and second quarter Form 10-Q’s are filed for fiscal year 2024.

Accumulated deficit at January 1, 2023 in the accompanying statement of stockholders’ equity for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 was made larger by $210,965 due to the effects of the increased expense accruals for the first and second quarters of fiscal year 2023.

The following are selected line items from the financial statements illustrating the effect of the error corrections for the quarters ended September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2022:

Schedule of error corrections Quarter Ended September 30, 2022

(1)The errors in each of the two fiscal quarters resulted from the omission of invoices from a small identifiable group of outside contractors used for certain services relating to research and development activities. In addition to the above adjustments, trade accounts payable will be increased in future filings by $85,213 and $210,965 as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

 

 

3.BUSINESS ACQUISITION

On October 4, 2021, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Lighthouse Imaging, LLC, of Windham, Maine, a medical optics and digital imaging business operating as a designer and manufacturer of advanced optical imaging systems and accessories with a strong expertise in electrical engineering and development of end-to-end medical visualization devices. The actual results of operations of the Lighthouse division are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as of, and for the three and nine months ended, March 31, 2023, and for the six months ended March 31, 2022.

The purchase price for Lighthouse Imaging included $1,500,000 as potential earn-out consideration over the subsequent two year period, contingent on the Lighthouse division meeting specified annual gross profit targets. The Lighthouse division did not meet the target for the first $750,000 portion of the earn-out, and the contingent liability associated with that portion was reversed and recognized as other income in the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2022.

The second $750,000 portion of the earn-out contingent liability was renegotiated in March 2023 and adjusted to $600,000 in return for modifications to the target level of gross profit for the second earnout period. The $150,000 reduction in the contingent earn-out liability was recognized as other income in the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2023. The second portion of the contingent earn-out liability of $600,000 will be paid if the adjusted target level of gross profit is earned by the Lighthouse division for the period from October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2023.

Consolidated unaudited actual and pro forma results of operations for the Company are presented below assuming that the acquisition of the Lighthouse division had occurred on July 1, 2021. Pro forma operating results include net adjustments resulting from the acquisition transaction during the three months ended September 30, 2021.

8.6.REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

RevenuesThe Company determines revenue recognition for arrangements that we determine are recognized aswithin the scope of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” or ASC 606, by performing the following five steps: (i) identify the contract with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to deliver productsthe 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 satisfiedperformance obligations and are recordedassess whether each promised good or service is distinct based on the contract.

The Company disaggregates revenues by product and service types as it believes best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for satisfying the performance obligations. Mostrevenues and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Revenues are comprised of the Company’s productsfollowing for the three and services are marketed to medical device companies with over 93% of all revenues to customers in the United States. Productssix months ended December 31, 2023 and services are primarily transferred to customers at a point in time based upon when services are performed or product is shipped. 2022:

Engineering Design Services

The Company disaggregates revenues by productenters into contractual agreements with our customers, including design services agreements, statements of work and service typesreceive 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 it believes it best depicts howcustomers are invoiced for the nature, amount, timing and uncertaintyactual engineering services provided in the period. Revenue is also recognized on materials purchased for development projects at the time of revenues and cash flowsreceipt. Engineering Design Services are affected by economic factors. Technology rights revenue represents amounts paid by customers for rights to useprovided on a best-efforts basis; no warranty is provided as there is no guarantee that the Company’s intellectual property including product designs, patents, and know-how to manufacture and commercialize their products under specified contractual conditions. Revenues are comprisedwork will result in the attainment of the followingcustomer’s project objectives. The Company may obtain customer deposits in advance of rendering engineering design services. Customer deposits are treated as contractual liabilities until the terms of customer agreements are satisfied and are not a component of revenue.

Optical Components, Finished Products and Assemblies

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

Technology Rights and Royalties

The Company may recognize revenue for the threesale of technology rights and nine months ended March 31, 2023through the receipt of royalties obtained under a license of our intellectual property. These revenues are recognized in the period in which, in our judgment, they are earned and 2022: no longer contingent under the terms and conditions of the relevant customer contract.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

 

The nature of the Company’s products and services does not generally give rise to contract assets as it typically does not incur costs to fulfill a contract before a product or service is provided to a customer. The Company’s costs to obtain contracts are typically in the form of sales commissions paid to employees. The Company has elected to expense sales commissions associated with obtaining a contract as incurred as the amortization period is generally less than one year. These costs have been recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. As of MarchDecember 31, 2023, there were no contract assets recorded in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

  

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

The markets in which we do business are highly competitive and include both foreign and domestic competitors. Many of our competitors are larger and have substantially greater resources than we do. Furthermore, other domestic or foreign companies, some with greater financial resources than we have, may seek to produce products or services that compete with ours. We routinely outsource specialized production efforts as required to obtain the most cost-effective production. Over the years we have developed extensive experience collaborating with other optical specialists worldwide.

 

We believe that our future success depends to a large degree on our ability to develop new optical products and services to enhance the performance characteristics and methods of manufacture of existing products. Accordingly, we expect to continue to seek and obtain product-related design and development contracts with customers and to selectively invest our own funds on research and development, particularly in the areas of MicroprecisionTM optics, micro medical cameras, illumination, single-use endoscopes and 3D endoscopes.

The markets for our products have increasingly been driven by the demand for smaller and marketing activities are intended to broaden awarenessmore enhanced imaging systems by the needs of the benefits of our new technology platformssurgical community, including applications for the brain, eye, ear, urology, cardiology/angiography and our successful application of these new technologies to medical device projects requiring surgery-grade visualization from sub-millimeter sized devices and 3D endoscopy, including single-use products and assemblies.the spine. 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 a presence in online professional association websites, we have expanded our on-going pipeline of projects to significant medical device companies as well as well-funded emerging technology companies. We expect our customer pipeline to continue to expand as development projects transition to production orders and new customer projects enter the development phase. Our Ross Optical division markets through existing customers and trade shows, in addition to proactive online marketing strategies executed primarily through its website.

We produce micro-precision optics, which are nominally millimeter sized and smaller cameras with low manufacturing costs. The small size provides visualization for new procedures in new parts of the body and for existing procedures that are currently performed blind or with sub-optimal imaging, facilitating the development of new surgical procedures that are currently impractical. We use patented and patent-pending approaches to fabricating opto-mechanical and opto-electronic systems. We have developed and helped commercialize applications for numerous customers in the medical device and defense/aerospace industries.

We believe that our future success depends to a large degree on our ability to develop new optical products and services to enhance the performance characteristics and methods of manufacture or existing products. Competition amongst medical device companies is increasing with multiple companies now pursuing less expensive, procedure specific robotic systems. We expect to continue to seek and obtain product-related design and development contracts with customers and to selectively invest our own funds on research and development, particularly in the areas of Microprecision™ optics, micro medical cameras, illumination, single-use endoscopes, and 3D endoscopes. We are one of only a handful of companies in the world to design and provide high-quality 3D endoscopes. By designing systems with low manufacturing costs, we have also begun to penetrate the single-use endoscope market. Single-use endoscopes virtually eliminate the potential for patient cross-contamination and support a number of additional operational benefits for hospitals and surgeons. We estimate this segment of the overall minimally invasive surgical market is growing at two to three times the rate of the overall market.

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 surgical-grade visualization from millimeter sized devices and 3D endoscopy, including single-use products and assemblies.

We are registered to the ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 13485:2016 Quality Standards and comply with the FDA Good Manufacturing Practices.

Total revenues for the nine monthsquarter ended MarchDecember 31, 2023 were $16,020,327,$4,824,289, as compared to $10,884,737$5,886,961 for the same period in the prior year, an increase of $5,135,590, or 47.2% due in part toand for the inclusion of the Lighthouse division since its acquisition on October 4, 2021, increases in component sales in the El Paso and Gardner locations, an increase in engineering revenues, and one-time technology rights revenue in the quartersix months ended December 31, 2022.

Our two largest customers accounted for 13.0% and 8.4% of our revenue during the quarter ended March 31, 2023, and 8.0% and 13.1%, respectively, of our revenue during the nine months ended March 31, 2023. One of our two largest customers is a defense/aerospace company and the other is a medical device company. We generated revenues from 318 unique customers during the nine months ended March 31, 2023, and no other customer represented over 10% of our revenue during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023.

The COVID-19 world-wide pandemic that began during the quarter ended March 31, 2020 and the domestic and international impact of policy decisions being made in major countries around the world has had, and could continue to have, an adverse impact on our sources of supply, current and future orders from our customers, collection of amounts owed to us from our customers, our internal operating procedures, and our overall financial condition.

Gross profit for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 was $1,736,098, compared to $1,728,209 for the same period in the prior year, an increase of $7,889. Gross profit for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 as a percentage of our revenues was 34.4%, an decrease from the gross profit percentage of 37.2% for the same period in the prior year. Gross profit for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 was $5,975,011$9,145,544 as compared to $3,486,823 for the same period in the prior year, an increase of $2,488,188 or 71.4%. Gross profit for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 as a percentage of our revenues was 37.3%, an increase from the gross profit percentage of 32.0% for the same period in the prior year. Quarterly gross profit and gross profit percentage depend on a number of factors, including overall sales volume, facility utilization, product sales mix, the costs of engineering services, and production start-up costs and challenges in connection with new products, the effects of COVID-19 pandemic policy decisions on various economies and our suppliers and customers, as well as the effects on production efficiencies due to the augmented policies we have incorporated into our operations as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Our gross profit on individual engineering projects is dependent on a number of factors and is expected to fluctuate from quarter to quarter based on the number of new engineering projects, the nature and status of engineering projects, unanticipated cost over-runs, design challenges and changes, start-up production activities, or other customer-imposed project changes or delays. Our increase in gross profit dollars during nine months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the same periods in the previous years was primarily due to inclusion of the Lighthouse division since its acquisition on October 4, 2021, Other fluctuations in gross profit dollars and margins in the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2023 when compared to the same periods of the prior fiscal year are considered customary considering the factors impacting variability as previously described.

Research and development expenses were $206,375 for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, compared to $214,898$10,972,262 for the same period in the prior year, a decrease of $8,523,$1,826,718, or 4.0%16.6%. Research and development expenses were $660,518 forA decrease of $600,000 in both periods was attributable to the nine months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $433,248 for the same periodsale of one-time technology rights recognized in the prior year, an increase of $227,270, or 52.5%.

Revenue from Engineering Design Services increased 33.1% and development24.6% during the three- and certain internal functions not directly related to customer engagements are classified as research and development expenses with the majority of our engineering, research and development activities being consumed in revenue generating engagements with our customers for the development of their products. During the nine months ended Marchsix-month periods ending December 31, 2023 compared tofrom the same periods of the prior year we had an increase in personnel, and an increase in research and development costs incurred in the developmentyear ending December 31, 2022. Revenue increases in the engineering category resulted from increasing demand for services and expansion of internal researchengineering capacity. Engineering sales were driven by customer design engagements that will be transitioning into the later manufacture of new Finished Products and development efforts and projects. Assemblies.

 

Selling, generalRevenue from Optical Components decreased 23.3% and administrative expenses were $2,022,991 for25.8% during the quarter ended Marchthree- and six-month periods ending December 31, 2023 compared to $1,574,432 for the same period in the prior year, an increase of $448,559, or 28.4%. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $5,338,498 for the nine months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $3,974,824 for the same period in the prior year, an increase of $1,363,674, or 34.3%. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense in the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year was primarily the result of increased compensation due to expanded headcount, incentive bonuses and sales commissions resulting from increased revenues, increased sales conference and show costs, and increased stock based compensation. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses in the nine months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the same periods ofin the prior fiscal year was primarilyending December 31, 2022 due in part to reduced industry demand. We believe the decreases in optical components were largely driven by lower order volumes as customers sought to rebalance their inventories, which had previously grown beyond sustainable levels due to inclusionincreased ordering in response to concerns about supply chain disruptions.

Revenue from Finished Products and Assemblies decreased 42.4% and 38.9% during the three- and six-month periods ending December 31, 2023 from the same periods in the year ending December 31, 2022. The decreases in Finished Products and Assemblies was attributable to timing differences between the exit of certain mature customer programs and reorders for ongoing products and the Lighthouse division since its acquisition in October, 2021, plus increased compensation due to expanded headcount, incentive bonusesintroduction of new customer programs, primarily single-use medical devices and sales commissions resulting from increased revenues, and increased sales conference and show costs.new defense / aerospace opportunities.

Gross Profit

Gross margin decreased to 30.1% during the three months ended December 30, 2023, compared to 44.2% for the three months ended December 31, 2022, and decreased to 31.9% during the six months ended December 31, 2023 compared to 38.6% during the six months ended December 31, 2022. Gross profit decreased to $1,450,976 during the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared to $2,599,472 for the three months ended December 31, 2022, and decreased to $2,914,587 during the six months ended December 31, 2023 compared to $4,238,913 during the six months ended December 31, 2022, primarily driven by changes in the product sales mix and the decreases in revenue discussed above. The $600,000 in Technology rights revenue in the prior year had a significant impact on gross margin as it had no cost of sales associated with it. Excluding that revenue from both sales and gross profit for comparison purposes, the gross margin would have been 37.8% and 35.1% for the three- and six-month periods ending December 31, 2022, respectively. In addition, we recorded an increase in our reserve for excess and obsolete inventory in the amount of $75,000.

Research & Development

R&D expenses increased $66,464 to $221,728 during the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared to $155,264 during the three months ended December 31, 2022, and increased $68,595 to $434,486 during the six months ended December 31, 2023, compared to $365,891 during the six months ended December 31, 2022. The increase in R&D expenses was primarily due to employee-related expenses to support product improvements and the development of new technologies.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses 

SG&A expenses increased $60,267 to $1,933,410 during the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared to $1,873,143 during the three months ended December 31, 2022, and increased $185,797, or 5.5%, to $3,589,556 during the six months ended December 31, 2023, compared to $3,403,759 during the six months ended December 31, 2022. The increase in SG&A was primarily due to increased personnel costs, increased travel-related expenses, increased stock-based compensation and increases in our reserve for doubtful accounts.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We have sustained recurring net losses from operations for several years. During the quarter ended and ninesix months ended March 31, 2023 we incurred operating losses of $493,268 and 24,005, respectively. During the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 we incurred operating losses of $1,513,890 and $905,583, respectively. At MarchDecember 31, 2023, cash was $612,095,on hand funded increases in inventory of $323,770 and a net decrease in accounts receivables were $4,389,907payable and current liabilities were $6,494,885, including $1,387,806accrued expenses of customer advances received for future order deliveries.

Although our revenue and gross margin have increased, our operating expenses have also increased, and we continue to experience pricing pressure from our customers and challenges$945,002, partially offset by decreases in engineering projects and production orders that can result in cost over-runs and depressed gross margins.accounts receivable of $395,863. We also experience added uncertainty relatedmade payments of $277,912 on our term notes and capital leases. These items, in addition to our vendors ability to supply materials and our customers future order levels as a resultthe impact of the economic impact the COVID-19 world-wide pandemicquarterly net loss, net of depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation and related jurisdictional policiesother non-cash items, resulted in a decrease of $1,938,808 in our cash and regulations and lingering supply-chain issues. Consequently, criticalcash equivalents at December 31 2023 from $2,925,852 at June 30, 2023 to our ability to maintain our financial condition is achieving and maintaining a level of quarterly revenues that generate break even or better financial performance as well as timely collection of accounts receivable from our customers. We believe profitable operating results can be achieved through a combination of revenue levels, realized gross profits and controlling operating expense increases, all of which are subject to periodic fluctuations resulting from sales mix and the stage of completion of varying engineering service projects as they progress towards and into production level revenues.

We have traditionally funded working capital needs through product sales, management of working capital components of our business, cash received from public and private offerings of our common stock, warrants to purchase shares of our common stock or convertible notes, manufacturing equipment leases, and by customer advances paid against purchase orders by our customers and recorded in the current liabilities section of the accompanying financial statements. We have incurred year to year and quarter to quarter operating losses during our efforts to develop current products including MicroprecisionTM optical elements, micro medical camera assemblies and 3D endoscopes. Our management believes that the opportunities represented by these technical capabilities and related products have the potential to generate sales increases to achieve breakeven and profitable results.$987,044 at December 31, 2023.

 

In connection with our October 2021 acquisition of Lighthouse Imaging, we entered into a $2,600,000 bank term loan and sold shareswith a commercial bank. In June 2023 we added a second term loan in the amount of our common stock for gross proceeds of $1,500,000.$750,000. We also secured a $250,000 bank line of credit from the same bank in October 2021 for working capital needs, which was increased to $500,000 in May 2022.2022 and to $1,250,000 in June 2023. There were no borrowings outstanding on the line of credit at Marchon December 31, 2023.2023 and full availability in the amount of $1,250,000.

Future capital equipment$170,772 and patent expenditures will be dependent upon future sales and success$37,637, respectively. The increase was primarily attributable to the implementation of on-going research and development efforts.a new computer system.

Item 4. 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 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. 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 March 31, 2023, because of a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting described below. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, inincluding internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatementwere effective as of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Material Weakness Identified; Remedial Steps Being Taken

During our review of the results for the fiscal quarter ended MarchDecember 31, 2023, errors were identifiedto ensure the information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Company’s accrualsSecurities Exchange Act of costs associated with services provided by third-party contractors on certain development projects. Those errors caused an understatement of costs of goods sold for1934, as amended (i) is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the quarters ended September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2022, for which we have concluded such error is not material to those previously reported financial statements. However, because of the significance of these items, and to facilitate comparisons amongtime periods the Company decided to revise the previously issued first and second quarter unaudited condensed consolidated financial information by increasing accounts payable and cost of goods sold by $85,213 and $125,752specified in the quarters ended September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Such quarterly and year to date financial statements will be revised in subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission that include such statements.

To addressrules and remediate the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described above, we have implemented processes to improve our accounts payable controlsforms, and documentation for the recognition of costs incurred for services performed by outside contractors(ii) is accumulated and matching those costs, when applicable, to fiscal periods in which those services are billedcommunicated to our customers. Specifically, we have implemented procedures to document the receipt of non-physical work product bymanagement, including our outside contractors, accrue for services performed by outside contractors when vendor invoices for such services have not yet been received, and to review billings to customers to ensure related contractor billings are expensed in the same period. Our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, will monitoras appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our disclosure controls and procedures are intended to be designed to provide reasonable assurance that such accruals in future quartersinformation is accumulated and communicated to confirmour management. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that these steps have properly remediated the material weakness in the timing of third-party expense accruals. We believe that the steps outlined above strengthen our internal control over financial reporting and mitigate the material weakness described above.was effective as of December 31, 2023.
