5. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04 Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in GAAP and IFRS ("ASU 2011-04"), which amends ASC 820 Fair Value Measurement. ASU 2011-04 improves the comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The amended guidance changes the wording used to describe many requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. Additionally, the amendments clarify the FASB's intent about the application of existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements. Although ASU 2011-04 is not expected to have a significant effect on practice, it changes some fair value measurement principles and disclosure requirements. ASU 2011-04 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, and must be applied prospectively. Early application is not permitted. We do not anticipate that the adoption of ASU 2011-04 will have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In June 2011, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05 "Comprehensive Income" ("ASU 2011-05"), which was the result of a joint project with the IASB and amends the guidance in ASC 220, Comprehensive Income, by eliminating the option to present components of other comprehensive income (OCI) in the statement of stockholders' equity. Instead, the new guidance now gives entities the option to present all non-owner changes in stockholders' equity either as a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or as two separate but consecutive statements. Regardless of whether an entity chooses to present comprehensive income in a single continuous statement or in two separate but consecutive statements, the amendments require entities to present all reclassification adjustments from OCI to net income on the face of the statement of comprehensive income. The amendments in this Update should be applied retrospectively and are effective for public entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. This statement will be effective for us for our 2013 fiscal year. We do not anticipate that the adoption of ASE 2011-05 will have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

The Company is not aware of any event that occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date but prior to the filing of this report that could have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
We make statements in this Report, and we may from time to time make other statements, regarding our outlook or expectations for earnings, revenues, expenses and/or other matters regarding or affecting the Company that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as "believe", "expect", "anticipate", "intend", "outlook", "estimate", "forecast", "project" and other similar words and expressions. Forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties, which change over time. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. We do not assume any duty and do not undertake to update our forward-looking statements. Actual results or future events could differ, possibly materially, from those that we anticipated in our forward-looking statements, and future results could differ materially from our historical performance. Our forward-looking statements are subject to the following principal risks and uncertainties:
- Uncertain demand for the Company's products because of the current international financial concerns;
- Risks associated with dependence on a few major customers;and
- The performance, financial strength and reliability of the Company's vendors.
We provide greater detail regarding other factors in our 2011 Form 10-K.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company's consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The preparation of these 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 under different assumptions or conditions. Specifically, inventory is estimated quarterly and reconciled at the end of the fiscal year when a comprehensive physical count is conducted (also see Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 2 Inventories).

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Opt-Sciences Corporation, through its wholly owned subsidiary, O & S Research, Inc., both New Jersey corporations, manufactures anti-glare and transparent conductive optical coatings which are deposited on glass used primarily to cover instrument panels in aircraft cockpits. The Company's business is highly dependent on a robust commercial, business, regional and military aircraft market. We recorded second quarter sales of $1,629,022 and net income of $149,475. Sales are up 18% or $242,408 from the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2012. Compared to the second quarter of 2011, sales are up 11% or $158,247. We currently expect third quarter sales to be approximately $1,700,000. Sales seem to have improved from recent lows. We look for an increase in sales of conductive coated instrument panels and improved sales in all our major markets. Nevertheless, international financial concerns combined with political unrest in the Middle East (resulting in higher oil prices) may affect aircraft users and purchasers by inhibiting their ability to finance and their desire to purchase new airplanes and their ability and desire to upgrade existing aircraft. During the second quarter of 2012, the Company booked $1,949,000 in new orders compared to $1,703,000 in new orders booked for the first quarter of 2012 and $1,369,000 in new orders booked in the second quarter of 2011. Our backlog of unshipped orders was approximately $3,103,000 at the end of second quarter, up $321,000 from the end of the first quarter of 2012 and up $1,341,000 from the second quarter of 2011.
Even though we have experienced a significant increase in backlog recently, a substantial portion of that backlog is scheduled for delivery in later periods of this Fiscal Year. Based on our customer's needs, which change from time to time, our customers may accelerate or defer delivery dates; and we typically try to accommodate their needs if we have available manufacturing capacity and access to the required raw materials. We generally have a four to twelve week delivery cycle depending on product complexity, plant capacity and lead time for raw materials, such as polarizers or filter glass. Our sales tend to fluctuate from quarter to quarter, because all orders are custom manufactured and customer orders are generally scheduled for delivery based on our customer's need date and not based on our ability to make shipments. Since the Company has two customers that together represent over 60% of sales, any significant change in the requirements of either of those customers has a direct impact on our revenue for the quarter. In addition, a recent announcement by one of our competitors, Metavac, that it is shutting its facility as of the end of September, 2012 has stimulated inquiries and requests for proposals from certain of Metavac's customers. Although the industry has more than enough excess capacity to absorb Metavac's business, we anticipate that this closing may lead to increases in our sales of glass with conductive coatings.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED APRIL 28, 2012 COMPARED WITH THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED APRIL 30, 2011
NET SALES
Net sales for the second quarter ended April 28, 2012 were $1,629,022 which is $158,247 and 11% more than the net sales of $1,470,775 for the same quarter last year. This is due to a general increase in demand for the Company's glass.
COST OF SALES
Cost of sales for the quarter ended April 28, 2012 increased $221,680 or 22% to $1,218,354 or 75% of sales, compared to 996,674 or 68% of sales, for the second quarter last year. Cost of sales is comprised of raw materials, manufacturing direct labor and overhead expenses. The overhead portion of cost of sales is primarily comprised of salaries, benefits, building expenses, production supplies, and maintenance costs related to our production, inventory control and quality departments. The increase in costs of sales is directly related to increased sales of our products and the hiring of additional employees in anticipation of a higher level of sales than actually occurred.
GROSS PROFIT
Gross profit for the quarter ended April 28, 2012 decreased $63,433 to $410,668 or 25% of sales from $474,101 or 32% of sales reported for the same quarter last year, primarily because of the decreased operating efficiencies because of expenses incurred in anticipation of higher levels of production.
10
OPERATING EXPENSES
Operating expenses decreased $22,530 to $222,531 from $245,061 for the same quarter last year. Operating expenses consist of marketing and business development expenses, professional expenses, salaries and benefits for executive and administrative personnel, hiring, legal, accounting, and other general corporate expenses.
OPERATING INCOME
The Company realized operating income of $188,137 or 12% of sales, for the quarter ended April 28, 2012, compared to an operating income of $229,040 or 16% of sales, for the same quarter last year. This decrease was due to increases in the cost of sales as a percentage of sales, as discussed above.
OTHER INCOME
Other income of $65,238 for the second quarter of fiscal year 2012 increased by $52,262 from $12,976 for the same quarter last year. Other income increased primarily because of higher yields resulting from increases in our new investment portfolio of income securities, which we purchased in the second quarter of Fiscal Year 2011.
PROVISONS FOR INCOME TAX
Income tax expense for the quarter ended April 28, 2012 was $103,900 and 41% of pre tax income compared to $99,200 and 41% of pre tax income for the comparable prior period.
NET INCOME
Net income for the second quarter ended April 28, 2012 increased to $149,475 or $0.19 per share compared to $142,816 or $0.18 per share for second quarter ended April 30, 2011 for the reasons outlined above.
TWENTY-SIX WEEKS ENDED APRIL 28, 2012 COMPARED WITH TWENTY-SIX WEEKS ENDED APRIL 30, 2011
NET SALES
Net sales for the twenty-six weeks ended April 28, 2012 were $3,015,636 which is $281,281 and 9% less than the net sales of $3,296,917 for the same twenty-six week period last year. This is primarily due to the spike in sales during the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2011 related to a non-recurring build up of inventory by one of our major customers in anticipation of a move of its manufacturing operations from Japan to Taiwan.
COST OF SALES
Cost of sales for the twenty-six weeks ended April 28, 2012 was $2,239,235 or 74% of sales, compared to $2,205,194 or 67% of sales, for the same period last year. The increase in cost of sales despite a decrease in sales was primarily due to the high operating efficiencies experienced in the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2011.
GROSS PROFIT
Gross profit for the twenty-six weeks ended April 28, 2012 decreased $315,322 to $776,401 or 26% of sales, from $1,091,723 or 33% of sales reported for the same period last year. The decrease in total gross profit was due to higher sales and higher margins and a better and more efficient use of our facilities and equipment experienced during the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2011.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Operating expenses decreased by $22,234 from $475,611 during the twenty-six week period ended April 30, 2011 to $453,377 during the twenty-six week period ended April 28, 2012.
OPERATING INCOME
The Company realized operating income of $323,024 or 11% of sales, for the twenty-six week period ended April 28, 2012, compared to operating income of $616,112 or 19% of sales, for the same period last year. The reduction in operating income is primarily the result of not being able to replicate the extraordinary and non recurring sales experienced in the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2011, as described above.
11
OTHER INCOME
Other income of $170,033 for the twenty-six week period ended April 28, 2012 increased $141,286 from $28,747 for the same period for last year, because of higher yields resulting from our new investment portfolio of income securities, which we initially purchased in the second quarter of Fiscal Year 2011.
INCOME TAX
Income tax expense for the twenty-six week period ended April 28, 2012 was $202,200 and 41% of pre tax income, compared to $264,400 and 41% of total income for the twenty-six week period ended April 30, 2011.
NET INCOME
Net income for the twenty-six week period ended April 28, 2012 decreased 89,602 to $290,857 or $0.38 per share, compared to net income of $380,459 or $0.49 per share for the prior comparable period, primarily because of the decreased sales and operating efficiencies experienced in the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2012 by comparison to the first quarter of the prior year.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
The Company utilizes its working capital to finance current operations and capital improvements. Cash and cash equivalents have decreased $156,878 from $1,751,489 at the end of the fiscal year on October 29, 2011 to $1,594,611 on April 28, 2012 primarily due to purchase of additional securities. Near the end of the second quarter of Fiscal Year 2011, we converted $7,394,000 of our cash bank deposits to an investment account as a means of increasing yield on a significant portion of our liquid assets at a time when interest rates on government insured deposits are at or near historic lows. The investments have been made in a diversified portfolio of income producing securities which is monitored closely to reduce risk of severe market devaluation. These resources continue to be available for facilities expansion and capital improvements, and we will continue to review appropriate use of such funds for future growth and development.
