Precision Optics Corporation, Inc. Announces Operating Results for the First Quarter of Fiscal Year 2014 Ended September 30, 2013

GARDNER, MA — (Marketwired) — 11/18/13 — On November 14, 2013, Precision Optics Corporation, Inc. (OTCQB: PEYE) (the “Company”) announced operating results on an unaudited basis for the first quarter of its fiscal year 2014, the quarter ended September 30, 2013.

Highlights include:

Quarter-over-quarter sequential sales increase of 13.1%

Quarterly year-over-year sales increase of 61.1%

Reduced quarterly operating losses and cash used in operating activities

Commenting on the quarter, Joseph Forkey, Chief Executive Officer of Precision Optics, said, “With three consecutive quarters of improving financial performance, we are beginning to see the effects of deliveries of products that incorporate our new proprietary technologies. We continue to see increasing interest from existing and new customers in these types of products as the medical device marketplace recognizes the value of Precision Optics- unique capability to build small, cost-effective, single-use cameras for applications in minimally invasive surgery.”

The following table summarizes the results for the quarters ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 (unaudited):

Revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 were $907,426, representing an increase of 61.1% as compared to revenues of $563,398 for the same period in the prior year, and representing a quarter-over-quarter sequential increase of 13.1% as compared to revenues of $802,337 for the quarter ended June 30, 2013.

The increase in revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 resulted from increases in the Company-s ongoing sales of previously developed products, as well as sales of newly designed products, most of which are used for medical applications.

Operating loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 was $210,721, representing an improvement of $146,123, as compared to $356,844 for the same period in the prior year.

The decrease in the operating loss in the quarter ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in the prior year is primarily attributed to higher sales and gross profit and lower research and development expenses, partially offset by higher selling expenses.

Net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 was $210,721, as compared to a net loss of $358,094 for the quarter ended September 30, 2012, representing an improvement of $147,373.

Cash and cash equivalents were $879,030 at September 30, 2013, as compared to cash and cash equivalents of $1,034,587 at June 30, 2013. During the quarter ended September 30, 2013, the Company used cash in operating activities of $147,033, an $89,152 improvement from the cash used in operating activities of $236,185 recorded for the quarter ended June 30, 2013.
