Item 8.01. Other Events
On August 25, 2006, Irvine Sensors Corporation (the “Company”) received notice that the U. S. government exercised its $3.4 million Option 1 under Government Contract FA8650-04-C-7120, dated May 28, 2004 (the “Contract”), which Contract was initially filed as Exhibit with the SEC on the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for 13 weeks ended June 27, 2004. This Option represents the next phase of a program to develop 3-dimensional electronics technology. This Irvine Sensors program, dubbed 3D MINT, is a multi-year contract, the first phase of which was completed earlier this year with the successful demonstration of processing speeds and packaging densities that are at least an order of magnitude improved over that achievable with conventional state-of-the-art electronics. The newly awarded contract option is intended to develop hardware that is potentially transferable to both military and commercial applications. There were no modifications or amendments to the Contract.
