Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Precision Optics Corporation reported sharply higher results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, driven by strong systems manufacturing demand and a recent equity raise. Quarterly revenue rose to $8.7 million from $4.2 million, while the net loss narrowed to $108,283 from $2.1 million. For the first nine months, revenue grew to $22.8 million from $12.9 million and the net loss improved to $3.5 million from $4.4 million. Gross margin increased to 23.6% in the quarter, helped by operating leverage and $224,544 of grant income, though full-year gross margin is lower due to earlier mix and ramp costs. The company strengthened its balance sheet with a March 2026 public offering that raised net proceeds of $10.6 million, boosting cash to $10.7 million and stockholders’ equity to $20.1 million. Management notes ongoing debt service coverage covenant waivers through fiscal 2025 and is discussing longer-term solutions with its lender while stating current liquidity is sufficient to repay outstanding term loans if required.

Insights

Revenue is scaling rapidly and losses are narrowing, but leverage covenants remain a key constraint.

Precision Optics is showing strong top-line momentum. Quarterly revenue more than doubled year over year to $8.7 million, primarily from systems manufacturing, while the quarterly net loss shrank to $108,283. Gross margin rebounded to 23.6% as higher volumes and grant income offset weak engineering and micro-optics margins.

The capital structure changed materially. A March 2026 underwritten offering added $10.6 million of net proceeds, lifting cash to $10.68 million and equity to $20.1 million. Term debt totals about $1.48 million with fixed rates between 7.0% and 8.625% and maturities in 2028–2029.

Covenant pressure is an important qualifier. The lender waived the minimum debt service coverage ratio for fiscal 2024 and 2025, and the company does not expect to meet the covenant in fiscal 2026. Management is in discussions for further relief and states it currently has enough liquidity to repay loans if needed. Future filings will clarify whether waivers, amendments, or repayments are used to resolve this constraint.

government grants financial
"In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10, Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities"
Term Loan financial
"Term Loan Note payable to Main Street Bank with monthly principal payments of $35,271"
A term loan is a type of loan that is borrowed for a set period of time, with a fixed schedule for repaying the money, usually in regular payments. It matters to investors because it represents a company's borrowing costs and financial stability; reliable repayment of these loans can indicate strong financial health, while difficulties may signal potential risks.
debt service coverage ratio covenant financial
"The Company’s Loan Agreement with the Lender contains a minimum annual debt service coverage ratio covenant of 1.2x"
right-of-use asset financial
"Included in the accompanying balance sheet at March 31, 2026 is a right-of-use asset of $1,737,807"
A right-of-use asset is the value a company records on its balance sheet for the practical use of something it leases — like the benefit of living in a rented office or using leased equipment for a set period. Investors care because it turns many leases into on-balance-sheet assets and matching liabilities, which can change reported leverage, asset base and performance metrics much like taking on a loan would.
stock-based compensation financial
"Stock-based compensation expense was $742,499 for the nine months ended March 31, 2026"
Stock-based compensation is when a company pays employees, directors or consultants with shares or the right to buy shares instead of or in addition to cash. It matters to investors because issuing stock or options spreads ownership thinner (like cutting a pie into more slices), which can reduce each existing share’s claim on profits and can also change reported earnings; investors watch it to assess true cost of running the business and how management is incentivized.

NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

 

 

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Principles of Consolidation and Operations

 

These 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 first nine months of the Company’s fiscal year 2026. These financial statements do not include all disclosures associated with annual financial statements and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with footnotes contained in the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, together with the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm filed under cover of the Company’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 29, 2025, as amended by Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 28, 2025.

 

Use of Estimates

 

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.

 

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 nine months ended March 31, 2026, potentially dilutive securities outstanding have been excluded from the computations of weighted-average shares outstanding because such securities have an antidilutive impact due to the net loss reported during those periods. The number of shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants that were excluded from the computation of fully dilutive weighted average shares outstanding was approximately 1,826,791 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2026.

 

The following is the calculation of income (loss) per share for the three months and nine months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:

                
   Three Months
Ended March 31,
   Nine Months
Ended March 31,
 
   2026   2025   2026   2025 
Net Loss Basic and Fully Diluted  $(108,283)  $(2,096,761)  $(3,526,104)  $(4,377,689)
                     
Weighted Average Shares Outstanding                    
Basic and Fully Diluted   7,794,263    6,917,281    7,740,834    6,491,687 
                     
Income (Loss) Per Share – Basic and Fully Diluted  $(0.01)  $(0.30)  $(0.46)  $(0.67)

Significant Customers and Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. The Company places its investments with highly rated financial institutions. The Company has not experienced any losses on these investments to date.

 

The allowance for credit losses was $134,313 at March 31, 2026, and $66,833 at March 31, 2025.

        
   Nine Months Ended March 31, 
   2026   2025 
Allowance for credit losses, beginning of period  $80,192   $118,872 
Change in the provision for expected credit losses   61,199    (52,039)
Write-offs charged against the allowance   (7,078)    
Allowance for credit losses, end of period  $134,313   $66,833 

 

During the nine months ended March 31, 2026, the Company increased the credit loss reserve by approximately $54,000. Management believes the allowance for credit losses, which is established based upon review of specific account balances and historical experience, is adequate at March 31, 2026.

 

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 the 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.

 

Segment Reporting

 

Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in making decisions about how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company’s chief decision-maker is its Chief Executive Officer. To date, the Company has viewed its operations and manages its business as principally one segment. The chief operating decision maker assesses performance for the single reporting segment and decides how to allocate resources based on revenues, gross profit, and net income (loss) that also is reported on the income statement as revenues, gross profit, and net income (loss). The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total assets.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10, Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities (“ASU 2025-10”). ASU 2025-10 adds guidance on the recognition, measurement and presentation of government grants. ASU 2025-10 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2028, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and permits modified prospective, modified retrospective, or full retrospective adoption. The Company has elected to early adopt the guidance effective for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026.

Government Grants

 

The Company recognizes grants or subsidies from governments and other organizations as a receivable when it is probable that the Company will comply with any conditions associated with the grant arrangement and the grant will be received. The Company evaluates the conditions of each grant as of each reporting period to determine whether it is probable that the Company has met the conditions of each grant arrangement. Grants are recognized in the statements of operations on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Company recognized the related costs for which the grant is intended to compensate. The Company records grant receivables in the balance sheets in accounts receivable or other non-current assets, depending on when the amounts are expected to be received from the government agency.

 

During the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the Company recognized a reduction to expense of $224,544 related to grants within the statements of operations, all in cost of goods sold. As of March 31, 2026, the Company has $224,544 recorded as a government receivable, included in accounts receivable, which relates to personnel, direct costs and operating expenses to be reimbursed and received as cash. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had no government receivable.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company evaluates warrants and other financial instruments to determine whether such instruments or embedded features qualify as derivatives to be accounted for separately in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. Warrants that do not meet the criteria for equity classification are recorded as liabilities at fair value and are remeasured at each reporting date until exercised, expired, modified, or otherwise settled. Changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities are recognized in other income (expense), net in the statements of operations.

 

Warrants that meet the criteria for equity classification, including the scope exception under ASC 815-10-15-74(a), are classified within stockholders’ equity and are not subsequently remeasured as long as the conditions for equity classification continue to be met.

 

The Company reassesses the classification of warrants at each reporting date. As of March 31, 2026, the Company determined that all outstanding warrants qualified for equity classification.

 

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 March 31, 2026. Amortization expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was $18,875 and $0, respectively.

3. BANK FINANCING ACTIVITIES

 

Bank Line of Credit

 

On October 4, 2021, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement with Main Street Bank of Marlborough, Massachusetts (the “Lender”), which provided for a $2,600,000 Term Loan and a $250,000 Revolving Line of Credit Loan Facility (the “Revolver”), which was increased to $500,000 effective May 17, 2022, and $1,250,000 effective June 2, 2023. Borrowings under the Revolver are limited by the borrowing base comprised of a percentage of accounts receivable and inventory and secured by all assets of the Company. Borrowings under the Revolver bear interest payable monthly at the prime lending rate plus 1.5% per annum and shall not be less than 4.75% per annum. Borrowings under the Revolver are due upon demand. There were no borrowings under the Revolver at March 31, 2026.

  

The Company’s Loan Agreement with the Lender contains a minimum annual debt service coverage ratio covenant of 1.2x. The Company did not meet this annual debt service coverage ratio for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. The Company’s Lender agreed to waive compliance with such debt service ratio covenant for the period ending June 30, 2024. In addition to such waiver, the Lender and the Company entered into an amendment dated September 30, 2024 to that certain Term Loan dated October 4, 2021, as amended and that certain Promissory Note dated June 2, 2023 (collectively, the “Notes”) which amendments provided for a six-month period of interest only payments from October 15, 2024 through March 15, 2025 for the Notes. The Company commenced payments of principal and interest under the Notes beginning with the payments due on April 15, 2025, with a new amortization schedule for the remaining term for such Notes through their maturity date. On February 14, 2025, the Lender agreed to waive compliance with the annual debt service coverage ratio covenant for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025, subject to a $30,000 waiver fee and the completion of an equity raise of at least $4,500,000 by February 24, 2025, which the Company satisfied on February 21, 2025. Any future advances are contingent on the Company achieving a minimum Debt Service Coverage ratio of 1.20x based on quarterly testing, which the Company was not in compliance with as of March 31, 2026.

 

There were no other changes to or modifications to the Loan Agreement or the Notes.

The aggregate intrinsic value of the Company’s in-the-money outstanding and exercisable options as of March 31, 2026 were both $509,147.

 

 

6. CAPITAL STOCK

  

On March 27, 2026, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement for a public offering of 2,777,777 shares of common stock at a price of $3.60 per share. The underwriter exercised its over-allotment option in full at closing, resulting in 3,194,444 total shares issued. The offering closed on March 30, 2026. Net proceeds after underwriting discounts, commissions, and offering expenses were $10,630,678. The Company intends to use the net proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

 

7. STOCK WARRANTS

 

In connection with the public offering that closed on March 30, 2026, the Company issued to the underwriter warrants to purchase 159,722 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $4.21 per share. The warrants are immediately exercisable and expire on March 27, 2031. Each warrant is exercisable for one share of common stock.

 

The warrants were classified as equity instruments under ASC 815-40, as the warrants are indexed to the Company's own common stock and may be settled in shares at the Company's option without any obligation to net cash settle under any circumstances.

 

The fair value of the warrants on the issuance date of March 30, 2026 was approximately $342,687, determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: stock price $4.20, exercise price $4.21, expected term of approximately 5 years, expected volatility of 54.8%, risk-free interest rate of 3.9%, and dividend yield of 0%. The fair value was recorded as an additional issuance cost and recognized as a reduction to additional paid-in capital, with an offsetting credit to additional paid-in capital — warrants outstanding. The net impact on total stockholders' equity was zero.

 

As of March 31, 2026, all 159,722 warrants remain outstanding and unexercised.

8. REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

The Company determines revenue recognition for arrangements that we determine are within 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 the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies the performance obligations. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within the contract and determine those that are performance obligations and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct based on the contract.

 

The Company disaggregates revenues by product and service types as it believes this best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Revenues are comprised of the following for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:

                
   Three Months
Ended March 31,
   Nine Months
Ended March 31,
 
   2026   2025   2026   2025 
Engineering Design Services  $1,059,671   $868,924   $2,678,211   $3,882,088 
Systems Manufacturing   6,188,594    2,019,596    16,242,332    4,900,911 
Micro Optics Lab   137,500    497,779    409,204    1,355,710 
Ross Optical Industries   1,322,866    799,669    3,427,544    2,771,219 
Total Revenues  $8,708,631   $4,185,968   $22,757,291   $12,909,928 

 

Other selling costs to obtain and fulfill contracts are expensed as incurred due to the short-term nature of a majority of contracts. The Company extends terms of payment to its customers based on commercially reasonable terms for the markets of its customers, while also considering their credit quality. Shipping and handling costs charged to customers are included in revenue.

 

Revenue recognition policies for each of the four product and service types appear below.

 

Engineering Design Services

 

The Company enters into contractual agreements with its customers, including design services agreements, statements of work and receive purchase orders for development projects. These agreements provide costs on an estimated basis for the services the Company has agreed to provide. Engineering Design Services are rendered on a time and materials basis. The Company recognizes revenue as customers are invoiced for the actual engineering services provided in the period. Revenue is also recognized on materials purchased for development projects at the time of receipt. Engineering Design Services are provided on a best-efforts basis; no warranty is provided as there is no guarantee that the work will result in the attainment of the customer’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.

 

 

 

 14 

 

 

Systems Manufacturing, Micro Optics Laboratory, Ross Optical Industries

 

The Company provides fixed price quotations to its customers and requires purchase orders for items manufactured and distributed through the Systems Manufacturing, Micro Optics Laboratory and Ross Optical Industries business units. Revenue is recognized at the time title passes to the customer based on the Company’s review of the customer contract, generally at the time of shipment from the Company’s facilities. Occasionally the Company may enter into “bill and hold” contractual arrangements where title is held by its customers while goods are stored at the Company’s facilities for the customer’s convenience.

 

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 March 31, 2026, there were no contract assets recorded in the Company’s 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 contract’s inception date.

  

Contract liabilities, which are recorded in the Company’s Balance Sheets, and unearned revenue are comprised of the following:

                
   Three Months
Ended March 31,
   Nine Months
Ended March 31,
 
   2026   2025   2026   2025 
Contract liabilities, beginning of period  $1,976,816   $1,417,933   $1,821,929   $1,172,350 
Unearned revenue received from customers   347,273    305,246    1,747,521    1,138,574 
Revenue recognized   (99,429)   (57,628)   (1,344,790)   (645,373)
Contract liabilities, end of period  $2,224,660   $1,665,551   $2,224,660   $1,665,551

Overview

 

We have been a developer and manufacturer of advanced optical instruments since 1982, and we operate primarily in two key market segments: medical devices and advanced defense/aerospace products. Within our proprietary optical and imaging technology, our unique custom designs, expert manufacturing capabilities, and advanced engineering and development capabilities have generated traditional endoscopes and endocouplers, digital imaging endoscopes using CMOS sensor technology, some designed and manufactured for single-use, as well as other, more advanced, custom imaging and illumination products for our customers’ use in minimally invasive surgical procedures. We design and manufacture ultra-high precision endoscopes and very small Microprecision lenses, assemblies and complete medical devices to meet the surgical community’s continuing demand for smaller, disposable, and more enhanced imaging systems for minimally invasive surgery. We also apply our unique technologies to applications in the Defense / Aerospace markets including applications supporting satellite network communications.

 

To support these two critical market categories, our business operations are conducted in four areas: systems manufacturing, engineering and product development, Ross Optical components and assemblies, and our micro-optics laboratory. Our systems manufacturing operations assemble and manufacture components and systems for both medical device and advanced aerospace customers who choose to outsource these services based on our ability to handle high complexity components, specific optical technologies, micro-optical assemblies and other advanced manufacturing challenges. Our engineering and product development team assesses specific customer product needs, designs devices to solve those needs, and creates manufacturing processes that enable higher volume production of these devices and assemblies that can then be executed by our manufacturing operations group.

 

Effective June 1, 2019, we acquired the operating assets of Ross Optical Industries, Inc. of El Paso, Texas. This acquisition expanded our optics components and assemblies’ business. As Ross Optical Industries we operate as a supplier of custom optical components and assemblies for military and defense, medical and various other industrial applications. All products sold by us under the Ross Optical name include a custom or catalog optic, which is sourced through our extensive domestic and worldwide network of optical fabrication suppliers. Most systems make use of optical lenses, prisms, mirrors and windows and range from individual optical components to complex mechano-optical assemblies. Products often include thin film optical coatings applied using our in-house coating department.

Effective October 1, 2021, we acquired the operating assets of Lighthouse Imaging, LLC of Windham, Maine, which expanded our electrical engineering capabilities in the development of end-to-end medical visualization devices. The acquisition represented a vertical integration of our established product development capabilities with a team with extensive experience developing visualization systems that we believe provides our customers with single-source value-added development services and product offerings. The operations of Lighthouse Imaging have been integrated with other operations of the company, which continue under the POC brand, so that the company now operates with single systems manufacturing and engineering departments, each of which includes historical POC and Lighthouse Imaging resources.

General

 

This management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our unaudited financial statements, which have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures. We base our 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 and any such differences may be material.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies as disclosed in the Notes to our Financial Statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2025 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 29, 2025, as amended by Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 28, 2025.

Total revenues for the quarter ending March 31, 2026 were $8,708,631, as compared to $4,185,968 for the same period in the prior year, an increase of $4,522,663 or 108.0% and for the nine months ended March 31, 2026 was $22,757,291 as compared to $12,909,928 for the same period in the prior year, an increase of $9,847,363, or 76.3%.

 

Revenue from Engineering Design Services increased 22.0% and decreased 31.0% during the three and nine-month periods ending March 31, 2026 from the same periods in the prior fiscal year. During the quarter ending March 31, 2026 revenue increases in the engineering category resulted from new project revenues. Engineering revenue for the nine-month period ending March 31, 2026 was lower due to the completion of product development engagements in the prior year and delayed revenue opportunities within the product development pipeline.

 

Revenue from Systems Manufacturing increased 206.4% and 231.4% during the three and nine-month periods ending March 31, 2026 from the same periods in the prior fiscal year, due primarily to significant increases in customer demand and the resultant scaling of manufacturing capabilities.

 

Revenue from the MicroOptics Lab decreased 72.4% and 69.8% during the three and nine-month periods ending March 31, 2026 from the same periods in the prior fiscal year, primarily due to delays in receiving new production orders from our defense customer.

 

Revenue from Ross Optical Industries increased 65.4% and 23.7% during the three and nine-month periods ending March 31, 2026 from the same periods in the prior fiscal year. We believe the increase is attributable to the inability of our customers to continue to postpone deliveries that had previously been delayed due to the introduction of new tariffs and the resultant uncertainty.

 

Gross Profit

 

Gross margin increased to 23.6% during the quarter ending March 31, 2026, compared to 10.0% for the quarter ending March 31, 2025. Gross profit increased to $2,056,534 during the three months ending March 31, 2026, compared to $417,975 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Within Systems Manufacturing, gross margins improved with greater sales volume and improving yield performance across all manufacturing lines, and the recognition of $224,544 of grant income. Conversely, costs associated with Engineering Design Services are primarily attributed to our engineering workforce, which we have chosen to keep in place as we focus on increasing revenue, leading to low margins for the period. Similarly, the MicroOptics Lab workforce requires specialized training, and we have also experienced negative margins from this segment resulting from the reorder delays discussed above but have chosen to keep the workforce in place.

 

Gross margin decreased to 14.1% during the nine months ending March 31, 2026, compared to 20.2% for the nine months ending March 31, 2025. Gross profit increased to $3,207,552 during the nine months ending March 31, 2026, compared to $2,605,247 for the nine months ending March 31, 2025.

 

Research & Development

 

R&D expenses increased $56,077 to $267,319 during the quarter ending March 31, 2026, compared to $211,242 during the quarter ending March 31, 2025. R&D expenses decreased $100,915 to $828,733 during the nine months ending March 31, 2026, compared to $929,648 during the nine months ended March 31, 2025. R&D expenses for the applicable periods represent employee-related expenses to support product improvements, the development of new technologies and standardized approaches to address the opportunities for an evolving single-use medical device environment.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

SG&A expenses decreased $373,931, or 16.7% to $1,853,677 during the three months ending March 31, 2026, compared to $2,245,018 during the three months ending March 31, 2025. The decrease in SG&A for the three-month period was primarily due to decreases in stock-based compensation and recruiting costs partially offset by consulting, bonuses, and bad debt expense.

 

SG&A expenses decreased $72,571, or 1.2% to $5,780,865 during the nine months ending March 31, 2026, compared to $5,870,846 during the nine months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in SG&A for the nine-month period was primarily due to decreases in stock-based compensation and recruiting partially offset by severance, bonuses, and bad debt expense.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Based on our current plans and business conditions, management believes that the Company’s available cash and cash equivalents, the cash generated from operations, the eventual availability of our line of credit, and our ability to raise funds in the capital markets will be sufficient to provide for the Company’s working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least 12 months from the date of this filing.

 

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

 

During the nine months ending March 31, 2026, net cash used in operating activities totaled $901,110 as compared to $2,978,165 during the nine months ending March 31, 2025. The decrease in net cash used in operating activities was primarily due to increased accounts payable and decreased net loss and inventory during the nine months ending March 31, 2026, partially offset by the increase in accounts receivable during such period.

 

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

 

During the nine months ending March 31, 2026, net cash used in investing activities was $348,639, consisting of purchases of property and equipment and patent costs. During the nine months ending March 31, 2025, net cash used in investing activities was $149,837 consisting of purchases of property and equipment and patent costs.

 

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

 

During the nine months ending March 31, 2026, we made payments of $474,618 on term notes and capital leases and raised a net of $10,630,678 from an underwritten offering made in March 2026. During the nine months ending March 31, 2025, we made payments of $196,487 on term notes and capital leases and repaid $1,000,000 on our revolving line of credit. We raised a net of $6,270,136 from two registered direct offerings made in August 2024 and February 2025 pursuant to our shelf registration statement.

Indebtedness

 

On October 4, 2021, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement with Main Street Bank of Marlborough, Massachusetts (the “Lender”), which provided for a $2,600,000 Term Loan and a $250,000 Revolving Line of Credit Loan Facility (the “Revolver”), which was increased to $500,000 effective May 17, 2022, and $1,250,000 effective June 2, 2023. Borrowings under the Revolver are limited by the borrowing base comprised of a percentage of accounts receivable and inventory and secured by all assets of the Company. Borrowings under the Revolver will bear interest payable monthly at the prime lending rate plus 1.5% per annum and shall not be less than 4.75% per annum. Borrowings under the Revolver are due upon demand. There were no borrowings under the Revolver at March 31, 2026.

 

The Company’s Loan Agreement with the Lender contains a minimum annual debt service coverage ratio covenant of 1.2x. As the Company did not meet this annual debt service coverage ratio for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, the Company’s Lender agreed to waive compliance with such debt service ratio covenant for the period ending June 30, 2024. In addition to such waiver, the Lender and the Company entered into an amendment dated September 30, 2024 to that certain Term Loan dated October 4, 2021, as amended and that certain Promissory Note dated June 2, 2023 (collectively, the “Notes”) which amendments provided for a six-month period of interest only payments from October 15, 2024 through March 15, 2025 for the Notes. The Company commenced payments of principal and interest under the Notes beginning with the payments due on April 15, 2025, with a new amortization schedule for the remaining term for such Notes through their maturity date. On February 14, 2025, the lender agreed to waive compliance with the annual debt service coverage ratio covenant for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025, subject to a $30,000 waiver fee and the completion of an equity raise of at least $4,500,000 by February 24, 2025, which the Company satisfied on February 21, 2025. Any future advances are contingent on the Company achieving a minimum Debt Service Coverage ratio of 1.20x based on quarterly testing which the company was not in compliance with as of March 31, 2026. Under our current projections, we don’t expect to meet this covenant for fiscal 2026. We are currently in discussion with the Lender to grant a waiver or a longer-term solution. If the Lender seeks repayment, currently we have sufficient liquidity to repay our loans. There were no other changes to or modifications to the Loan Agreement or the Notes.

 

Capital equipment expenditures and additional patent costs during the nine months ended March 31, 2026 and during the same period in the prior year were $351,639 and $149,837, respectively.

 

Contractual cash commitments for the fiscal periods subsequent to March 31, 2026, are summarized as follows:

 

   Fiscal 2026   Thereafter   Total 
Minimum operating lease payments  $135,599   $3,643,812   $3,779,411 

 

We have contractual cash commitments related to open purchase orders as of March 31, 2026 of approximately $6,200,000.

  

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We currently have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
