Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2006

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of LightPath Technologies, Inc. (“LightPath” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Article 10 of Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes, included in its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

These condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited but include all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods presented. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year as a whole.

History and Liquidity

History: LightPath was incorporated in Delaware in 1992. In order to pursue a strategy of supplying hardware to the telecommunications industry, in April 2000, the Company acquired Horizon Photonics, Inc. (Horizon), and in September 2000 the Company acquired Geltech, Inc. (“Geltech”). During fiscal 2003, in response to sales declines in the telecommunications industry, the operations of Horizon in California and LightPath in New Mexico were consolidated into the former Geltech facility in Orlando, Florida. In November 2005, the Company announced the formation of LightPath Optical Instrumentation (Shanghai) Co., Ltd, (“LPOI”) a wholly owned manufacturing subsidiary located in Jiading, People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). The manufacturing operations are housed in a 17,000 square foot facility located in the Jiading Industrial Zone near Shanghai. This plant is expected to increase overall production capacity and enable LightPath to compete for larger production volumes of optical components and assemblies, and strengthen partnerships within the Asia/Pacific region. It also provides a launching point to drive the Company’s sales expansion in Asia/Pacific. 50% of the second quarter’s precision molded lenses were manufactured in the new China facility.

The Company is engaged in the production of precision molded aspherical lenses, GRADIUM® glass lenses, collimators and isolator optics used in various markets, including industrial, medical, defense, test & measurement and telecommunications. As used herein, the terms “LightPath,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our,” refer to LightPath individually or, as the context requires, collectively with its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

Liquidity: During fiscal years 2005 and 2006, cash usage had been a concern. In fiscal 2005, cash used in operations was approximately $1.1 million. In fiscal 2006, cash used in operations was $2.0 million. During the half year ending December 31, 2006, the Company used $905,000 of cash for operating activities. Although there can be no assurance that the full year plan can be achieved, we are optimistic that we will achieve our planned results of improving cash flows from operations, although we still expect them to be negative in the near term. The Company has no firm commitments for any material future financing at this time. At December 31, 2006, the Company has a cash and cash equivalent balance of approximately $2.4 million.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2006, cash decreased by $706,000 million compared to a decrease of $108,000 in the same period of the prior fiscal year. The decrease in cash was primarily related to the net loss for the period, capital expenditures and payments to vendors.

On January 11, 2006, the Company and Regenmacher Holdings, Ltd. (“Regenmacher”) executed a four-year secured loan agreement. The secured loan facility, which carries an interest rate of 1% above the prime rate, provides for borrowings of up to a maximum borrowing base of $500,000 to be secured by the financed assets and other mutually agreed upon assets. LightPath may draw up to $500,000 during the first twelve months following the execution of the loan agreement. Effective February 1, 2007, the Regenmacher loan converted into a term loan with a balance of $500,000 and will be amortized over a thirty six (36) month period. Payments will be made in thirty-six (36) equal monthly installments.

LIGHTPATH TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2006

As heretofore stated, significant risk and uncertainty remains in achieving the goal of generating positive cash flow from operations on an ongoing basis. Factors which could adversely affect cash balances in future quarters include, but are not limited to, a decline in revenue or a lack of anticipated sales growth, increased material costs, increased labor costs, planned production efficiency (yield) improvements not being realized, and increases in other discretionary spending required to effectively compete in our markets.

As a result of the Company’s cash flow position, should the Company find it desirable or necessary to issue additional equity securities or debt that may be convertible into or exercisable for equity securities, the action would have the effect of increasing our fully diluted shares outstanding and ultimately diluting our operating results (net earnings or net loss) per share, and the action would dilute the voting power of current stockholders who do not acquire sufficient additional shares to maintain their percentage of share ownership. Management believes the Company has sufficient cash to fund operations for the next twelve months.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in the bank and temporary investments with maturities of 90 days or less when purchased.

Inventories, which consist principally of raw materials, work-in-process and finished lenses, isolators, collimators and assemblies are stated at the lower of cost or market, on a first-in, first-out basis. Inventory costs include materials, labor and manufacturing overhead.

Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets ranging from three to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method.

Long-lived assets are recorded in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. SFAS No. 144 provides a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of, changed the criteria for classifying an asset as held for sale, and broadened the scope of businesses to be disposed of that qualify for reporting as discontinued operations and changed the timing of recognizing losses on such operations.

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, long-lived assets, such as property, plant, and equipment, and purchased intangibles subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimate undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of would be separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a disposed group classified as held for sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the balance sheet.

Intangible assets, consisting of customer list and supply contracts, licenses, patents, trademarks, and others, are recorded at cost. Upon issuance of the license, patent or trademark, these assets are being amortized on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the related assets ranging from ten to seventeen years.

The Company accounts for intangible assets in accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS 142 eliminates the amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives. Amortization will continue to be recorded for intangible assets with definite useful lives. SFAS 142 also requires at least an annual impairment review of goodwill and other intangible assets. The Company evaluates its intangible assets for impairment in accordance with SFAS 144.

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed on the basis of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2006

amounts in the future based upon enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances have been established to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

Revenue is generally recognized from product sales when products are shipped to the customer, provided that LightPath has received a valid purchase order, the price is fixed, title has transferred, collection of the associated receivable is reasonably assured, and there are no remaining significant obligations. Revenues from product development agreements are recognized as milestones are completed in accordance with the terms of the agreements. Provisions for estimated losses are made in the period in which such losses are determined.

New product development costs are expensed as incurred.

Stock-based compensation is recognized following the guidelines of SFAS 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (“SFAS 123R”). Prior to July 1, 2005, the Company applied the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (“SFAS 123”). In accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123, the Company applied APB 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (“APB 25”) and related interpretations in accounting for its plans and, accordingly, did not recognize compensation expense for these plans because the Company issued options at exercise prices equal to the market value at date of grant.

Effective July 1, 2005, the Company adopted SFAS 123R, which revises SFAS 123 and supersedes APB 25. SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values using an option-pricing model, such as the Black-Scholes model, at the date of grant. SFAS 123R allows the use of either the modified prospective method or the retrospective recognition method. The Company elected to use the modified prospective method for adoption, which requires compensation expense to be recorded for all unvested stock options and restricted shares beginning in the first quarter of adoption. For all unvested options outstanding as of July 1, 2005, and subsequently granted options, the previously measured but unrecognized compensation expense, based on the fair value at the original grant date, will be recognized on a straight-line basis in the Consolidated Statements of Operations over the remaining vesting period. SFAS 123R requires that the Company estimate forfeitures when recognizing compensation expense and that this estimate of forfeitures be adjusted over the requisite service period based on the extent to which actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from such estimates. Changes in estimated forfeitures are recognized through a cumulative catch-up adjustment, which is recognized in the period of change, and also impact the amount of unamortized compensation expense to be recognized in future periods. See Note 6 — Stock and share based payments.

Management makes estimates and assumptions during the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates and assumptions could change in the future as more information becomes available, which in turn could impact the amounts reported and disclosed herein.

Fair values of financial instruments of the Company are disclosed as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Values of Financial Instruments. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, notes payable and capital leases approximate fair value.

6. Stock and share based payments

Overview—Effective July 1, 2005 (fiscal 2006), the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”). SFAS 123R establishes generally accepted accounting principles for stock-based awards exchanged for employee services. Under SFAS 123R, stock-based compensation cost is measured at grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employee’s requisite service period. The Company previously applied Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related Interpretations and provided the required pro forma disclosures of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”). Under SFAS 123R, the Company elected to adopt the modified prospective application method as its transition method. The Company elected to use the modified prospective method for adoption, which requires compensation expense to be recorded for all unvested stock options and restricted shares beginning in the first quarter of adoption. For all unvested options outstanding as of July 1, 2005, and subsequently granted options, the previously measured but unrecognized compensation expense, based on the fair value at the original grant date, will be recognized on a straight-line basis in the Consolidated Statements of Operations over the remaining vesting period. In accordance with this method of adoption, the Company’s results of operations and financial position for prior periods have not been restated.

Share-based Payment Arrangements—At July 1, 2005, the Company’s Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) includes several available forms of stock compensation of which only non-qualified stock options and restricted stock awards have been granted to date. The Company has also issued stock options under a separate non-qualified plan. In 2003, a substantial number of those options were cancelled and replaced with restricted stock award grants under the Plan. At December 31, 2006, there were options remaining for 5,000 shares still outstanding that were not issued in a qualified plan.

These three plans are summarized below:


	Options Authorized	Options Outstanding at December 31, 2006	Available for Issuance at December 31, 2006
Equity Compensation Arrangement
Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive Plan	915,625	551,360	19,709
Non-Qualified Plan	5,000	5,000	—
ESPP	200,000	—	186,404

	1,120,625	556,360	206,113

The 2004 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) permits employees to purchase common stock through payroll deductions, which may not exceed 15% of an employee’s compensation, at a price not less than 85% of the market value of the stock on specified dates (June 30 and December 31). In no event may any participant purchase more than $25,000 worth of shares in any calendar year and an employee may purchase no more than 4,000 shares on any purchase date. This discount is included in selling, general and administrative expense in the accompanying financial statements and was $2,600 and $1,738 for the six months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

LIGHTPATH TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

December 31, 2006

Grant Date Fair Values and Underlying Assumptions; Contractual Terms—The Company estimates the fair value of each stock option as of the date of grant. The Company uses the Black-Scholes pricing model. The ESPP fair value is the amount of the discount the employee obtains at the date of the purchase transaction.

For stock options granted in the six months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company estimated the fair value of each stock option as of the date of grant using the following assumptions:


	Six Months Ended
	December 31, 2006		December 31, 2005
Range of expected volatilities	300	% - 305%	266	% - 368%
Weighted average expected volatility	305	%	270	%
Dividend yields	0	%	0	%
Range of risk-free interest rate	4.63	% - 5.05%	4.40	% - 4.46%
Expected term, in years	2 -7		6.5

Most options granted under the Company’s Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive Plan vest ratably over two to four years and generally have ten-year contract lives. The initial assumed forfeiture rate used in calculating the fair value of grants with both performance and service conditions was 44%. The volatility rate is based on a four-year historical trends in common stock closing prices and the expected term was calculated using the simplified method. The interest rate used is the U.S. Treasury interest rate for constant maturities.

7. Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share is computed based upon the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding, not including unvested restricted stock, during each period presented. The computation of diluted net loss per share does not differ from the basic computation because potentially issuable securities of warrants and options for 1,056,156 shares would be anti-dilutive. As such, the numerator and the denominator used in computing both basic and diluted net loss per share are equal.

8. Foreign Operations

Assets and liabilities denominated in non-U.S. currencies are translated at rates of exchange prevailing on the balance sheet date, and revenues and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange for the six-month period. Gains or losses on the translation of the financial statements of a non-U.S. operation, where the functional currency is other than the U.S. dollar, the Renminbi (RMB), are reflected as a separate component of equity if significant. The Company, as of December 31, 2006, had approximately $541,000 in assets and $505,000 in net assets located in PRC. New equipment was purchased for the PRC plant and equipment was transferred from Orlando to PRC. Intellectual property was valued in the transferred asset basis in PRC.

9. Contingencies

The Company from time to time is involved in various legal actions arising in the normal course of business. Management, after reviewing with legal counsel all of these actions and proceedings, believes that the aggregate losses, if any, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

10. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No, 157, “Fair Value Measurement” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 157 on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 requires companies to evaluate the materiality of identified unadjusted errors on each financial statement and related financial statement disclosure using both the rollover approach and the iron curtain approach. The rollover approach quantifies misstatements based on the amount of the error in the current year financial statements whereas the iron curtain approach quantifies misstatements based on the effects of correcting the misstatement existing in the balance sheet at the end of the current year, irrespective of the misstatement’s year(s) origin. Financial statements would require adjustment when either approach results in quantifying a misstatement that is material. Correcting prior year financial statements for immediate errors would not require previously filed reports to be amended. SAB 108 is effective for the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006. The Company does not expect the impact of SAB 108 on its consolidated financial position and results of operations to be material.

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (“FIN” No 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – and interpretation of FASB Statement 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 prescribes a comprehensive model for recognizing, measuring, presenting and disclosing in the financial statements tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return, including a decision whether to file or not to file in a particular jurisdiction. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. If there are changes in net assets as a result of application of FIN 48 those will be accounted for as an adjustment to retained earnings. The Company does not expect the impact of FIN 48 on its consolidated financial position and results of operations to be material.

In June 2006, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a consensus of Issue No. 06-3, “How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should be Presented in the Income Statement (That is, Gross versus Net Presentation)” (“EITF 06-3”). EITF 06-3 requires the disclosure of the Company’s accounting policy regarding its gross or net presentation of externally imposed taxes on revenue producing transactions in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. EITF 06-3 is effective for he first annual or interim reporting period beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company does not expect the impact of adopting EITF 06-3 on its consolidated financial statement disclosures to be material.

11. Subsequent Events.

On February 14, 2007 the Company signed a Change of Control Agreement and Executive Employment Agreement with its President and CEO, Kenneth Brizel. Copies of the Agreements are being filed as Exhibits 10.11 and 10.12 to this report and are incorporated by reference (See Item 5). The description of the Agreements below is a summary and does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreements.

The agreement states that Mr. Brizel’s annual base salary will be $286,000 per year. Mr. Brizel is eligible to receive an annual cash bonus, up to a maximum of fifty-percent of his then annual salary at the board of director’s discretion. If Mr. Brizel is dismissed for reasons other that cause, then he is entitled to receive one times his annual salary as severance. The severance payments will be made over a twelve-month period. In the event of a change of control, as defined in the Agreements, Mr. Brizel is eligible for a one time payment of one-and-one half times his then base annual salary.

Overview

Historical: We are in the business of supplying users with glass lenses and other specialty optical products, that have applications in a number of different industries. Due to the emergence of optical technologies in communications, networking and data storage products in the late 1990’s, there was a significant surge in demand for our products, particularly in the period represented by our fiscal 1999-2001 years. During this period, our annual revenues increased from less than $2 million in sales to approximately $25 million due to both acquisitions (to add glass lens production capacity and market presence, and isolators to our existing line of collimators and proprietary glass lenses) and organic product line growth.

During fiscal 2002, optical component markets experienced a severe downturn that resulted in a significant decline in the demand for our products. By fiscal 2003, our sales had contracted to just under $7 million. The business infrastructure was too large and diverse to support a business of this reduced size and a decision was made in late fiscal 2002 and implemented during fiscal 2003 to close our isolator production facility in California and our headquarters and collimator and lens production facility in New Mexico. The productive capacity in these locations was moved to excess space in the acquired lens business facility in Florida and production of all of the aforementioned products continues there. These moves were completed by June 30, 2003, resulting in a significant reduction in net cash use by the business.

In November 2005, we announced the formation of LightPath Optical Instrumentation (Shanghai) Co., Ltd, (“LPOI”) a wholly owned manufacturing subsidiary, located in Jiading, People’s Republic of China. The manufacturing operations will be housed in a 17,000 square foot facility located in the Jiading Industrial Zone near Shanghai. This plant is expected to increase overall production capacity and enable us to compete for larger production volumes of optical components and assemblies, and strengthen partnerships within the Asia/Pacific region. 50% of the second quarter’s precision molded lenses were manufactured in the new China facility. We have increased the capacity of the Shanghai facility by increasing capital equipment and enlarging the number of Shanghai employees. We have added sales staff in Shanghai and are now prospecting for larger volumes and lower cost lenses.

We execute all foreign sales and intercompany transactions in U.S. dollars, mitigating the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. Assets and liabilities denominated in non-U.S. currencies, primarily Chinese RMB, are translated at rates of exchange prevailing on the balance sheet date, and revenues and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange for the three-month periods. During the six months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 we incurred a de-minimus loss on foreign currency.

How we operate: We have continuing sales of two basic types: occasional sales via ad-hoc purchase orders of mostly standard product configurations (our “turns” business); and the more challenging and potentially more rewarding business with characteristics of the semi-conductor industry. In this latter type of business, we work with a customer to help them determine optical specifications and even create certain optical designs for them, including complex multi-component designs that we call “engineered assemblies.” That is followed by “sampling” them small numbers of the product for their test and evaluation. Thereafter, should the customer conclude

that our specification or design is the best solution to their product need, we negotiate and “win” a contract (sometimes called a “design win”) – whether of a “blanket purchase order” type or a supply agreement. The strategy is to create an annuity revenue stream that makes the best use of our production capacity as compared to the turns business, which is unpredictable and uneven. A key business objective is to convert as much of our business to the design win and annuity model as is possible. We have several challenges in doing so:

•

Maintaining an optical design and new product sampling capability, including a high-quality and responsive optical design engineering staff.

•

The fact that as our customers take products of this nature into higher volume, commercial production they begin to work seriously to reduce costs which often leads them to turn to larger or overseas producers, even if sacrificing quality.

•

Our small business mass means that we can only offer a moderate amount of total productive capacity before we reach financial constraints imposed by the need to make additional capital expenditures–because of our limited cash resources and cash flow we cannot service the biggest opportunities available in the market.

Despite these challenges to obtaining more design win business, we nevertheless have been, and believe we can continue to be, successful in procuring this business because of our unique capabilities in optical design engineering that we make available on the merchant market, a market that we believe is underserved in this area of service offering. Additionally, we believe that we offer value to some customers as a second or backup source of supply in the United States should they be unwilling to commit all of their source of supply of a critical component to a foreign merchant production source. We also continue to have the proprietary GRADIUM lens glass technology to offer to certain laser markets.

Our key indicators:

Sales Backlog – We believe that sales growth is our best indicator of success. Our best view into the efficacy of our sales efforts is in our “order book.” Our order book equates to sales “backlog.” It has a quantitative and a qualitative aspect: quantitatively, our backlog’s prospective dollar value and qualitatively, what percent of the backlog is scheduled by the customer for date-certain delivery. We define our “disclosure backlog” as that which is requested by the customer for delivery within one year and which is reasonably likely to remain in the backlog and be converted into revenues. This includes customer purchase orders and may include amounts under supply contracts if they meet the aforementioned criteria. At December 31, 2005 our backlog was approximately $3.0 million.

At December 31, 2006, our disclosure backlog was $2.6 million, indicating that we have shipped the majority of the delinquent backlog during the first half of fiscal 2007. Our recent bookings activity has showed a recent slow down in sales growth in disclosure backlog from our communications customers, which may continue into the quarter ending March 31, 2007. Our communications customers have pushed out expected ship dates or are not placing new orders.

Inventory Levels – We manage our inventory levels to minimize investment in working capital but still have the flexibility to meet customer demand to a reasonable degree. While the mix of inventory is an important factor, including adequate safety stocks of long lead-time materials, an important aggregate measure of inventory in all phases of production is the quarter’s ending inventory expressed as a number of days worth of the quarter’s cost of sales, also known as “days cost of sales in inventory,” or “DCSI.” It is calculated by dividing the quarter’s ending inventory by the quarter’s cost of goods sold, multiplied by 365 and divided by 4. Generally, a lower DCSI measure equates to a lesser investment in inventory and therefore more efficient use of capital. At December 31, 2006, our DCSI was 57 compared to 80 at December 31, 2005. During the first six months of fiscal 2007, we decreased our inventory level of traditional optics due to higher sales in the first half of fiscal 2007.

Accounts Receivable Levels and Quality – Similarly, we manage our accounts receivable to minimize investment in working capital. We measure the quality of receivables by the proportions of the total that are at various increments past due from our normally extended terms, which are generally 30 days. The most important aggregate measure of accounts receivable is the quarter’s ending balance of net accounts receivable expressed as a number of days worth of the quarter’s net revenues, also known as “days sales outstanding,” or “DSO.” It is calculated by dividing the quarters ending net accounts receivable by the quarter’s net revenues, multiplied by 365 and divided by 4. Generally, a lower DSO measure equates to a lesser investment in accounts receivable, and

therefore, more efficient use of capital. At December 31, 2006, our DSO was 48. At December 31, 2005, our DSO was 52. The DSO decreased due to the even level of weekly sales throughout the quarter.

Other Key Indicators – Other key indicators include various operating metrics, some of which are qualitative and others are quantitative. These indicators change from time to time as the opportunities and challenges in the business change. They are mostly non-financial indicators such as units of shippable output by major product line, production yield rates by major product line and the output and yield data from significant intermediary manufacturing processes that support the production of the finished shippable product. These indicators can be used to calculate such other related indicators as fully—yielded unit production per-shift, which varies by the particular product and our state of automation in production of that product at any given time. Higher unit production per shift means lower unit cost and therefore improved margins or improved ability to compete where desirable for price sensitive customer applications. The data from these reports is used to determine tactical operating actions and changes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We engage in continuing efforts to keep costs under control as we seek renewed sales growth. Our efforts are directed toward reaching positive cash flow and profitability. These efforts continue, but may not succeed resulting in a need to raise additional capital. Should capital not continue to be available to us at reasonable terms, other actions may become necessary in addition to cost controls and vigorous sales activities. These actions may include exploring strategic options for the sale of our Company or of some of our product capabilities. We have no firm commitments for any future equity financing at this time and we had a book cash balance of approximately $1,733,000 at February 9, 2007.

In the second quarter of fiscal 2005, we entered into a $75,000 capital equipment lease for equipment to support our molded optics production. We augmented this financing on January 11, 2006 with a four-year secured line of credit that provides for borrowings of up to $500,000. If additional capital expenditures are warranted, we may seek similar capital equipment lease financing, however, it is uncertain whether we will be able to consistently gain access to this source of capital. At December 31, 2006, we had drawn approximately $443,000 on the line of credit. On February 1, 2007 the loan balance was $500,000 and it converted to a three-year note, with thirty-six equal payments.

Further improvement in cash flow, initially meaning a reduction in cash use, is expected to be primarily a function of sales increases and, to some extent, margin improvements. Sales increases are expected to be the most important source of future reductions in operating cash outflow. Focused efforts are underway to penetrate new industrial and military optics customers. Actions that support these efforts in the current quarter include new product development and customer prospecting in new targeted markets. Recent sales efforts have included expanded advertising and a presence at appropriate trade shows.

Our fiscal 2007 operating plan and related financial projections anticipate sales growth, improving margins based on production efficiencies and reductions in both product costs and administrative expenditures. We believe the impact of these factors will be reflected in future quarters.

Factors which could adversely affect cash balances in future quarters include, but are not limited to, a decline in revenue or a lack of anticipated sales growth, poor cash collections from our accounts receivables, increased material costs, increased labor costs, planned production efficiency improvements not being realized and increases in other discretionary spending, particularly sales and marketing related.

Sources and Uses of Cash

Our recurring sources and uses of cash are quite straightforward: we collect receivables after invoicing customers for product shipments and we pay vendors for materials and services purchased. Other significant uses of cash are payments to employees for wages and compensation and payments to providers of employee benefits. All other sources and uses of cash are typically immaterial. However we do make expenditures for capital goods, and have received small amounts of cash in the last year for the sale of surplus equipment. For some time, the net balance of these cash flows has been negative, meaning a net use of cash. This net use of cash has been met by drawing down on our cash and cash equivalent balances and raising additional funds through the sale of stock and equipment financing.

In the future, we may be required to replenish cash and cash equivalent balances through the sale of equity securities or by obtaining debt. There can be no assurances that such financing will be available to us, and as a result, there is significant risk to us in terms of having limited cash resources with which to pursue business opportunities. As a result of this risk, should it materialize, the Company may be generally unable to sustain our growth plan or even to maintain our current levels of business. Either of these outcomes would materially and adversely affect our results of operations and stock price.

There are certain uses of our cash that are contractually or commercially committed. Those are presented below as of December 31, 2006:

Results of Operations

Fiscal Second Quarter: Three months ended December 31, 2006 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2005

Revenues:

For the quarter ended December 31, 2006, we reported total revenues of $3.8 million compared to $3.0 million for the second quarter of last fiscal year, an increase of 28% and a decrease of approximately 14% compared to first quarter of fiscal 2007 revenue of $4.4 million. We believe the decrease from the first quarter to the second quarter of fiscal 2007 was due to the fact that the first fiscal quarter of 2007 included $500,000 of shipments that were delinquent from previous quarters. The increase from the second quarter of last year was primarily attributed to higher sales volumes of molded optics products.

Cost of Sales:

Our gross margin percentage in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 compared to second quarter fiscal 2006 was higher at 32% compared to 25%. The total manufacturing cost of $2.6 million was $0.4 million higher in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 than it was in the same period of the prior fiscal year. Gross margin improvements were attributable to improvements in labor and overhead cost of molded optics manufactured in Shanghai and the isolator and gradium product lines which carry higher margins.

Selling, General and Administrative:

During the second quarter of fiscal 2007, selling, general and administrative costs (“SG&A”) were approximately $1.3 million, which was an increase of approximately $200,000 compared to $1.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2006. This increase was due to higher commissions due to higher sales increases and higher stock option compensation costs due to recent stock option awards. While in the future we intend to manage SG&A costs to be generally in proportion to our business levels, we are considering adding to our sales force while seeking other cost reductions such as employee benefits and accounting fees.

New Product Development:

New product development costs increased by approximately $32,000 to approximately $276,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 versus $245,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2006. We anticipate a small future increase this fiscal year in staffing levels as we work to meet the volume of specific customer design requests that can lead to new and continued sales.

Amortization of Intangibles:

At the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2006, a major component of our identifiable, amortizing intangible assets from prior acquisitions became fully amortized. Amortization expense from intangibles remained the same at approximately $8,000 per quarter in both the second fiscal quarter of 2007 and 2006.

Gain on Sales of Assets:

Gain on sale of assets of approximately $3,000 was recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2006 versus none in the second quarter of fiscal 2007. The gain in 2006 was from the sale of excess equipment. No significant additional sales or cash proceeds from this excess equipment are expected.

Other Income (Expense):

Net investment and other income was approximately $25,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 versus a net investment and other income of $8,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2006. This increase was caused primarily by an increase in interest income due to higher cash balances.

Net Loss:

As a result of the foregoing, net loss was approximately $344,000 or $0.08 per share during the second quarter of fiscal 2007, compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2006, in which we reported a net loss of $618,000 or $0.17 per share. This represents an $274,000 decrease in net loss. Weighted-average shares outstanding increased in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 compared to the second quarter in fiscal 2006 primarily due to the sale of 730,000 shares to private investors in the third quarter of fiscal 2006.

Fiscal First Half: Six months ended December 31, 2006 compared to the six months ended December 31, 2005

Revenues:

For the six months ended December 31, 2006, we reported total revenues of $8.2 million compared to $5.7 million for the first half of last fiscal year, an increase of 45%. The increase was primarily attributed to higher sales volumes of molded optics products.

Cost of Sales:

Our gross margin percentage in the first half of fiscal 2007 compared to first half fiscal 2006 was higher at 28% compared to 23%. The total manufacturing cost of $5.9 million was $1.5 million higher in the first half of fiscal 2007 than it was in the same period of the prior fiscal year. Gross margin improvements were attributable to improvements in direct labor and over head made by increasing production of molded optics in Shanghai, improvements in the isolator and gradium product lines which generally have higher margins and increased engineering project revenue.

Selling, General and Administrative:

During the first half of fiscal 2007, selling, general and administrative costs (“SG&A”) were approximately $2.6 million, which was an increase of approximately $400,000 compared to $2.2 million in the first half of fiscal 2006. This increase was due to increases in commissions due to higher sales and higher accounting fees due to the annual audit. Over the remainder of this fiscal year, we intend to manage SG&A costs to be generally in proportion to our business levels, we are considering adding to our sales force while seeking other cost reductions such as employee benefits and accounting fees.

New Product Development:

New product development costs increased by approximately $41,000 to approximately $541,000 in the first half of fiscal 2007 versus $500,000 in the first half of fiscal 2006. We anticipate a small increase in staffing levels this fiscal year as we work to meet the volume of specific customer design requests that can lead to new and continued sales.

Amortization of Intangibles:

At the end of the first half of fiscal 2006, a major component of our identifiable, amortizing intangible assets from prior acquisitions became fully amortized and, therefore, for the first half fiscal 2007, amortization expense from intangibles was reduced by approximately $27,000 to $16,000 compared to $43,000 in the first half of fiscal 2006.

Gain on Sales of Assets:

Gain on sale of assets of approximately $9,000 was recorded in the first half of fiscal 2006 versus none in the first half of fiscal 2007. The gain in 2006 was from the sale of excess equipment. No significant additional sales or cash proceeds from this excess equipment are expected.

Other Income (Expense):

Net investment and other income was approximately $45,000 in the first half of fiscal 2007 versus net investment and other income of $15,000 in the first half of fiscal 2006. This increase was caused primarily by an increase in interest income due to higher cash balances.

Net Loss:

As a result of the foregoing, net loss was approximately $799,000 or $0.18 per share during the first half of fiscal 2007, compared with the first half of fiscal 2006, in which we reported a net loss of $1,426,000 or $0.39 per share. This represents an $627,000 decrease in net loss. Weighted-average shares outstanding increased in the first half of fiscal 2007 compared to the first half in fiscal 2006 primarily due to the sale of 730,000 shares to private investors in the third quarter of fiscal 2006.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to select appropriate accounting policies, and to make judgments and estimates affecting the application of those accounting policies. In applying our accounting policies, different business conditions or the use of different assumptions may result in materially different amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements.

In response to the SEC Release No. 33-8040, Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies, we have identified the most critical accounting principles upon which our financial status depends. The critical principles were determined by considering accounting policies that involve the most complex or subjective decisions or assessments. The most critical accounting principles identified relate to: (i) revenue recognition; (ii) inventory valuation; (iii) long-lived assets; (iv) allowance for bad debt and (v) fair value of compensation expense under FAS123R. These critical accounting policies and our other significant accounting policies are further disclosed in Note 1 to our Consolidated Financial Statements. Management has discussed these critical accounting policies and our other significant accounting policies with the audit committee.

Revenue recognition. We recognize revenue upon shipment of the product provided that persuasive evidence of a final agreement exists, title has transferred, the selling price is fixed and determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured.

Inventory valuation. We regularly assess the valuation of inventories and write down those inventories that are obsolete or in excess of forecasted usage to estimated net realizable value. Estimates of realizable value are based upon the Company’s analyses and assumptions, including, but not limited to, forecasted sales levels by product, expected product lifecycle, product development plans and future demand requirements. If market conditions are less favorable than our forecast or actual demand from customers is lower than our estimates, we may be required to record additional inventory write-downs. If demand is higher than expected, we may be able to use or sell inventories that have previously been written down.

Long-Lived Assets. We evaluate the carrying value of long-lived assets, including property and equipment, whenever certain events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Such events or circumstances include, but are not limited to, a prolonged industry downturn, a significant decline in our market value, or significant reductions in projected future cash flows. If facts and circumstances warrant such a review, a long-lived asset would be impaired if future undiscounted cash flows, without consideration of interest, are insufficient to recover the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. Once deemed impaired, the long-lived asset is written down to its fair value which could be considerably less than the carrying amount or future undiscounted cash flows. The determination of future cash flows and, if required, fair value of a long-lived asset is, by its nature, a highly subjective judgment. Fair value is generally determined by calculating the discounted future cash flows using a discount rate based upon our

weighted-average cost of capital. Significant judgments and assumptions are required in the forecast of future operating results used in the preparation of the estimated future cash flows, including long-term forecasts of the amounts and timing of overall market growth and our percentage of that market, groupings of assets, discount rate and terminal growth rates. Changes in these estimates could have a material adverse effect on the assessment of property and equipment, thereby requiring us to write down the assets.

Allowance for Bad Debts. We review our outstanding accounts receivable regularily for collectibilty. Amounts that are greater than ninety days past due are reserved at 100%. Also 10% of amounts more than sixty days past due are reserved.

Fair value of compensation expense under FAS 123R. Under SFAS 123R, stock-based compensation cost is measured at grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employee’s requisite service period. The Company elected to use the modified prospective method for adoption, which requires compensation expense to be recorded for all unvested stock options and restricted shares beginning in the first quarter of adoption. For all unvested options outstanding as of July 1, 2005, and subsequently granted options, the previously measured but unrecognized compensation expense, based on the fair value at the original grant date, will be recognized on a straight-line basis in the Consolidated Statements of Operations over the remaining vesting period. The Company estimates the fair value of each stock option as of the date of grant. The Company uses the Black-Scholes pricing model. Most options granted under the Company’s Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive Plan vest ratably over two to four years and generally have ten-year contract lives. The initial assumed forfeiture rate used in calculating the fair value of grants with both performance and service conditions was 44%. The volatility rate is based on a four-year historical trends in common stock closing prices and the expected term was calculated using the simplified method. The interest rate used is the U.S. Treasury interest rate for constant maturities.

Item 3.

Quantitative And Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We invest a portion of our cash reserves in a money market fund, which invests at least 80% of its net assets in securities issued by the U.S. Treasury and in related repurchase agreements. The money market fund is not protected under the FDIC; however, we have not experienced any losses in these funds. We do not believe that changes in market interest rates of up to 10% in either direction will have any material effect on our results of operations.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of December 31, 2006, the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2006 in reporting on a timely basis information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act because of material weaknesses relating to internal controls as described in Item 9A of the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2006.

During the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2006, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. However, management has concluded that the material weaknesses in internal controls relating to inventory, financial reporting, payroll processing and accrued liabilities as described in Item 9A of the Company’s Form 10K for the year ended June 30, 2006, have not been fully remediated. During the quarter ended December 31, 2006, management made some progress in remediating certain aspects of the weaknesses reported, specifically in the payroll processing, fixed assets and accrued liabilities consistent with the remediation action plan described in Item 9A of the Company’s Form 10K for the year ended June 30, 2006. However, other aspects of the weaknesses reported, especially with respect to internal controls over inventory, are still in the remediation process and appear to continue to constitute material weaknesses. Management is committed to finalizing its remediation action plan and implementing the necessary enhancements to its policies and procedures to fully remediate the material weaknesses described above.

On February 14, 2007 the Company signed an Executive Employment Agreement and Change of Control Agreement with its President and Chief Executive Officer, Kenneth Brizel. Copies of the Agreements are being filed as Exhibits 10.11 and 10.12 to this report and are incorporated by reference into this Item 5. The description of the Agreements below is a summary and does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreements.

The Executive Employment Agreement stipulates that Mr. Brizel will serve in the capacity of President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Agreement will continue indefinitely until terminated in writing by the Company or Mr. Brizel, which termination may be made with or without cause. Mr. Brizel is entitled to $286,000 per year as base salary, which may be changed by the Board on an annual basis based on an evaluation of Mr. Brizel’s performance. He is also eligible to receive an annual cash bonus in an amount determined by the Board of Director but not to exceed 50% of his then-current base salary. Mr. Brizel is entitled to participate in all other compensation and benefit plans made available by the Company. In the event, Mr. Brizel is terminated for any reason other than for cause, then he shall be entitled to receive a severance amount of one time his then-current base salary, which payment may be made over a twelve month period. What constitutes a termination for cause is defined in the Executive Employment Agreement.

The Executive Employment Agreement also includes covenants effective during the course of employment and upon the termination of the Agreement, providing for compliance in regards to confidentiality of information; assignment of proprietary information, non-solicitation of Company employees, clients, suppliers, vendors, consultants and independent contractors; and non-competition. The non-solicitation and non-competition covenants shall remain effective for one year following termination of employment.

The Change of Control Agreement provides that, in the event of a change of control of the Company and Mr. Brizel’s employment with the Company or its successor terminates by reason of a termination without cause or a termination for good reason within one month prior to and no more than thirteen months following the effective date of such change of control, Mr. Brizel shall be entitled to certain rights, which include the following: (i) all of his stock and stock options in the Company or its successor shall vest and become fully exercisable; and (ii) he shall be entitled to a lump sum payment in the amount of one and half times his then-current base salary, which shall be in lieu of any severance payments under the Executive Employment Agreement.
