On March 30, 2009, Optex Systems Holdings, Inc., (formerly known as Sustut Exploration, Inc.), a Delaware corporation, along with Optex Systems, Inc. , a privately held Delaware corporation which is Optex Systems Holdings’ wholly-owned subsidiary (also known as Successor), entered into a reorganization agreement and Plan of reorganization, pursuant to which Optex Systems, Inc. (Delaware) was acquired by Optex Systems Holdings in a share exchange transaction. Optex Systems Holdings became the surviving corporation. At the closing, Optex Systems Holdings changed its name from Sustut Exploration Inc. to Optex Systems Holdings, Inc. and its year end from December 31 to a fiscal year ending on the Sunday nearest September 30.

On October 14, 2008, certain senior secured creditors of Irvine Sensors Corporation, Longview Fund, L.P. and Alpha Capital Anstalt formed Optex Systems, Inc. (Delaware), which acquired all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Optex Systems, Inc., a Texas corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Irvine Sensors Corporation, (also known as Predecessor) in a transaction that was consummated via purchase at a public auction. Following this asset purchase, Optex Systems, Inc. (Texas) remained a wholly-owned subsidiary of Irvine Sensors Corporation.

In accordance with SFAS 141 “Business Combination” and EITF 98-3 “Determining Whether a Non-monetary Transaction Involves Receipt of Productive Assets or of a Business” Optex Systems, Inc. (Delaware)’s purchase of substantially all of the assets and assumption of certain liabilities represented the acquisition of a business. EITF 98-3 outlines the guidance in determining whether a “business” has been acquired in a transaction. For a transferred set of activities and assets to be a business, it must contain all of the inputs and processes necessary for it to continue to conduct normal operations after the transferred set of assets is separated from the transferor, which include the ability to sustain a revenue stream by providing its outputs to customers. Optex Systems, Inc. (Delaware) obtained the inputs and processes necessary for normal operations.

Optex Systems, Inc. (Texas) was a privately held Subchapter “S” Corporation from inception in 1987 until December 30, 2005 when 70% of the issued and outstanding stock was acquired by Irvine Sensors Corporation, and Optex Systems, Inc. (Texas) was automatically converted to a Subchapter “C” Corporation. On December 29, 2006, the remaining 30% equity interest in Optex Systems, Inc. (Texas) was purchased by Irvine Sensors Corporation.

Optex Systems, Inc. (Delaware) operated as a privately-held Delaware corporation until March 30, 2009, when as a result of the reorganization agreement (described above and also in Note 5), it became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Optex Systems Holdings. Sileas is the majority owner (parent) of Optex Systems Holdings owning approximately 73.5% of Optex Systems Holdings. Optex Systems Holdings plans to carry on the business of Optex Systems, Inc. (Delaware) as its sole line of business and all of Optex Systems Holdings’ operations are conducted by and through it’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Optex Systems, Inc. (Delaware). Accordingly, in subsequent periods the financial statements presented will be those of the accounting acquirer. The financial statements of Optex Systems Holdings represent subsidiary statements and do not include the accounts of its majority owner.

Optex Systems Holdings manufactures optical sighting systems and assemblies, primarily for Department of Defense applications. Its products are installed on a variety of U.S. military land vehicles such as the Abrams and Bradley fighting vehicles, light armored and advanced security vehicles and have been selected for installation on the Stryker family of vehicles. Optex Systems Holdings also manufactures and delivers numerous periscope configurations, rifle and surveillance sights and night vision optical assemblies. Optex Systems Holdings’ products consist primarily of build to customer print products that are delivered both directly to the military and to other defense prime contractors.

The accompanying financial statements include the results of operations and cash flows of Optex Systems, Inc. (Delaware), the accounting acquirer in the Sustut reorganization and the Successor in the October 14, 2008 Optex Systems, Inc. (Texas) asset purchase transaction, for the period from October 15, 2008 through March 29, 2009. The accompanying financial statements include the balance sheet at September 28, 2008 and the results of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the period from September 29, 2008 through October 14, 2008 of Optex Systems, Inc. (Texas), Predecessor.

Although Optex Systems, Inc. (Texas) (predecessor) has been majority owned by various parent companies described in the preceding paragraphs, no accounts of the parent companies or the effects of consolidation with any parent companies have been included in the accompanying financial statements. The Optex Systems, Inc. (Texas) accounts have been presented on the basis of push down accounting in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 54 Application of “Push Down” Basis of Accounting in Financial Statements of Subsidiaries Acquired by Purchase. SAB 54 states that the push down basis of accounting should be used in a purchase transaction in which the entity becomes wholly-owned. Under the push down basis of accounting certain transactions incurred by the parent company, which would otherwise be accounted for in the accounts of the parent, are “pushed down” and recorded on the financial statements of the subsidiary. Accordingly, items resulting from the Optex Systems, Inc. (Texas) purchase transaction such as goodwill, debt incurred by the parent to acquire the subsidiary and other costs related to the purchase have been recorded on the financial statements of Optex Systems Holdings.

The condensed consolidated financial statements of Optex Systems Holdings included herein have been prepared by Optex Systems Holdings, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in conjunction with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although Optex Systems Holdings believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in Optex Systems Holdings’ Forms 8-K and other reports filed with the SEC.

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Optex Systems Holdings for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for these periods are not necessarily comparable to, or indicative of, results of any other interim period or for the fiscal year taken as a whole. Certain information that is not required for interim financial reporting purposes has been omitted.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statement and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from the estimates.

Inventory: Inventory is recorded at the lower of cost or market value, and adjusted as appropriate for decreases in valuation and obsolescence. Adjustments to the valuation and obsolescence reserves are made after analyzing market conditions, current and projected sales activity, inventory costs and inventory balances to determine appropriate reserve levels. Cost is determined using the first-in first-out method. Under arrangements by which progress payments are received against certain contracts, the customer retains a security interest in the undelivered inventory identified with these contracts. Payments received for such undelivered inventory are classified as unliquidated progress payments and deducted from the gross inventory balance. At March 29, 2009, and September 28, 2008 inventory included:

Stock-Based Compensation: In December 2004, FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment”. SFAS No. 123R establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. SFAS No. 123R focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. SFAS No. 123R requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. That cost will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued.

Optex Systems Holdings’ accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows the provisions of EITF 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services” and EITF 00-18, “Accounting Recognition for Certain Transactions Involving Equity Instruments Granted to Other Than Employees.” The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendor’s performance is complete. In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term of the consulting agreement. Stock-based compensation related to non-employees is accounted for based on the fair value of the related stock or options or the fair value of the services, which ever is more readily determinable in accordance with SFAS 123R.

Earnings per Share: Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each year presented. Diluted earnings per common share give the effect to the assumed exercise of stock options when dilutive. In a loss year, the calculation for basic and diluted earnings per share is considered to be to be the same, as the impact of potential common shares is anti-dilutive. For the period October 15, 2008 through March 29, 2009, there were zero stock options issued and outstanding that could dilute future earnings. For the period September 29, 2008 through October 14, 2008 and for the six months ended March 29, 2008, there were no stock options that could dilute future earnings.

In June 2008, FASB issued FASB Staff Position EITF 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions are Participating Securities”. FSP EITF 03-6-1 clarifies that share-based payment awards that entitle their holders to receive nonforfeitable dividends or dividend equivalents before vesting should be considered participating securities. As participating securities, we will be required to include these instruments in the calculation of our basic earnings per share, and we will need to calculate basic earnings per share using the "two-class method." Restricted stock is currently included in our dilutive earnings per share calculation using the treasury stock method. The two-class method of computing earnings per share is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and all interim periods within those fiscal years. As such, Optex Systems Holdings is required to adopt these provisions at the beginning of the fiscal year ending October 3, 2010. Optex Systems Holdings does not expect adoption of FSP EITF 03-6-1 to have a material effect on Optex Systems Holdings’ financial statements.

In May 2009, FASB issued SFAS No. 165, "Subsequent Events". SFAS 165 establishes principles and requirements for the reporting of events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date, but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. SFAS 165 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods ending after June 15, 2009. As such, Optex Systems Holdings adopted these provisions at the beginning of the interim period ended June 28, 2009. Adoption of SFAS 165 did not have a material effect on Optex Systems Holdings’ financial statements.

Accounting Principles - a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162". SFAS 168 replaces Statement 162 and establishes the FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM (Codification) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. SFAS 168 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods ending after September 15, 2009. As such, Optex Systems Holdings is required to adopt these provisions at the beginning of the interim period ending September 27, 2009. Optex Systems Holdings does not expect adoption of SFAS 168 to have a material effect its financial statements.

In June 2006, FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109”. This Interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB No. 109, “ Accounting for Income Taxes ” .. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on Optex Systems Holdings’ financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. FASB No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FASB No. 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. Accordingly, FASB No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the application of FASB No. 157 will change current practice. The changes to current practice resulting from the application of FASB No. 157 relate to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of FASB No. 157 are effective as of January 1, 2008, with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. However, delayed application of this statement is permitted for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of FASB No. 157 did not have a material impact on Optex Systems Holdings’ financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In February 2007, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities-Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115,” was issued. This standard allows a company to irrevocably elect fair value as the initial and subsequent measurement attribute for certain financial assets and financial liabilities on a contract-by-contract basis, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. The provisions of this standard are effective as of the beginning of our fiscal year 2008, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of FASB No. 159 did not have a material impact on Optex Systems Holdings’ financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In March 2007, EITF Issue No. 06-10, "Accounting for Collateral Assignment Split-Dollar Life Insurance Agreements”. EITF 06-10 provides guidance for determining a liability for the postretirement benefit obligation as well as recognition and measurement of the associated asset on the basis of the terms of the collateral assignment agreement. EITF 06-10 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. The adoption of EITF 06-10 did not have a material impact on Optex Systems Holdings’ financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In December 2007,FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations and SFAS No. 160, Accounting and Reporting of Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51”. These new standards will significantly change the accounting for and reporting of business combinations and non-controlling (minority) interests in consolidated financial statements. Statement Nos. 141(R) and 160 are required to be adopted simultaneously and are effective for the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. Optex Systems Holdings is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS Nos. 141(R) and SFAS 160 on its financial statements.

In December 2007, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110. SAB 110 permits companies to continue to use the simplified method, under certain circumstances, in estimating the expected term of “plain vanilla” options beyond December 31, 2007. SAB 110 updates guidance provided in SAB 107 that previously stated that the Staff would not expect a company to use the simplified method for share option grants after December 31, 2007. Optex Systems Holdings does not have any outstanding stock options issued before December 31, 2007.

In March 2008, FASB issued SFAS No. 161, " Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 ”. SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008 with early application encouraged. As such, Optex Systems Holdings is required to adopt these provisions at the beginning of the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009. Optex Systems Holdings is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 161 on its financial statements but does not expect it to have a material effect.

In May 2008, FASB issued SFAS No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with GAAP in the united States. SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The adoption of FASB No. 162 did not have a material impact on Optex Systems Holdings’ financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In May 2008, FASB issued SFAS No. 163, "Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60 ". SFAS 163 interprets Statement 60 and amends existing accounting pronouncements to clarify their application to the financial guarantee insurance contracts included within the scope of that Statement. SFAS 163 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and all interim periods within those fiscal years. As such, Optex Systems Holdings is required to adopt these provisions at the beginning of the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011. Optex Systems Holdings is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 163 on its financial statements but does not expect it to have a material effect.

On October 14, 2008, in a purchase transaction that was consummated via public auction, Optex Systems, Inc. (Delaware) (Successor) purchased all of the assets of Optex Systems, Inc. (Texas) (Predecessor) in exchange for $15 million of Irvine Sensors Corporation debt owned by it and the assumption of approximately $3.8 million of certain Optex Systems, Inc. (Texas) liabilities. The $15 million of Irvine Sensors Corporation debt was contributed by Longview and Alpha to Optex Systems, Inc. (Delaware) in exchange for a $6 million note payable from Optex Systems, Inc. (Delaware) and a $9 million equity interest in Optex Systems, Inc. (Delaware) (which consisted of the issuance by Optex Systems, Inc. (Delaware) of 45,081,350 and 4,918,650 shares of its common stock to each of Longview Fund and Alpha, respectively). On October 30, 2008, Alpha sold its Optex Systems, Inc. (Delaware) common stock to Arland Holdings, Ltd. There was no contingent consideration associated with the purchase. Longview and Arland Holdings, Ltd., owned Optex Systems, Inc. (Delaware) until February 20, 2009, when Longview sold 100% of its equity interests in Optex Systems, Inc. (Delaware) to Sileas, as discussed below.

Optex Systems, Inc. (Delaware) purchased all of the assets of Optex Systems, Inc. (Texas), including: intellectual property, production processes and know-how, and outstanding contracts and customer relationships. Optex Systems, Inc. (Delaware) also assumed certain liabilities of Optex Systems, Inc. (Texas) consisting of accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Optex Systems Holdings’ management intends to improve the business’s ability to serve its existing customers and to attract new customers by providing quality products and superior service which will be achieved by improving Optex Systems Holdings’ working capital availability as opposed to the limited working capital that was available during the time period in which the assets were owned by Irvine Sensors Corporation.

The accompanying unaudited pro forma financial information for the consolidated predecessor and successor three and six months ended March 29, 2009 and successor three and six months ended March 30, 2008 present the historical financial information of the accounting acquirer. The pro forma financial information is presented for informational purposes only. Such information is based upon the standalone historical results of each entity and does not reflect the actual results that would have been reported had the acquisition been completed when assumed, nor is it indicative of the future results of operations for the combined enterprise.

In connection with the public sale of the Optex Systems, Inc. (Texas) (Predecessor) assets to Optex Systems, Inc. (Delaware) (Successor), Optex Systems, Inc. (Delaware) delivered to Longview and Alpha Secured Promissory Notes, due September 19, 2011, in the principal amounts of $5,409,762 and $540,976, respectively. On February 20, 2009, Longview sold its Optex Systems, Inc. (Delaware) promissory note to Sileas, as described below. On March 27, 2009, Sileas and Alpha exchanged their Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon for 1,027 shares of Optex Systems, Inc. (Delaware) Series A preferred stock.

As a result of the transaction described above between Sileas and Longview Fund, LP on February 20, 2009, Sileas, currently majority owner of Optex Systems Holdings, executed and delivered to Longview, a Secured Promissory Note due February 20, 2012 in the principal amount of $13,524,405. The Note bears simple interest at the rate of 4% per annum, and the interest rate upon an event of default increases to 10% per annum. In the event Optex Systems Holdings sells or conveys all or substantially all its assets to a third party entity for more than nominal consideration, other than a reorganization into Sileas or reincorporation in another jurisdiction, then this Note shall be immediately due and owing without demand. In the event that a Major Transaction occurs prior to the maturity date resulting in the Borrower receiving Net Consideration with a fair market value in excess of the principal and interest due under the terms of this Secured Note, (the “Optex Consideration”), then in addition to paying the principal and interest due, Sileas shall also pay an amount equal to 90% of the Optex Consideration. The obligations of Sileas under the Note are secured by a security interest in Optex Systems Holdings’ common and preferred stock owned by Sileas that was granted to Longview pursuant to a Stock Pledge Agreement delivered by Sileas to Longview and also by a lien on all of the assets of Sileas.

Optex Systems Holdings has not guaranteed the note and Longview is not entitled to pursue Optex Systems Holdings in the event of a default by Sileas. Therefore, there are no actual or potential cash flow commitments from Optex Systems Holdings. In the event of default by Sileas on its obligations under the note, Longview would only be entitled to receive Optex Systems Holdings common and preferred stock held by Sileas.

On March 30, 2009, the reorganization occurred whereby the then existing shareholders of Optex Systems, Inc. (Delaware) exchanged their shares of common stock with the shares of common stock of Optex Systems Holdings as follows: (i) the outstanding 85,000,000 shares of Optex Systems, Inc. (Delaware) common stock were exchanged by Optex Systems Holdings for 113,333,282 shares of Company common stock, (ii) the outstanding 1,027 shares of Optex Systems, Inc. (Delaware) Series A preferred stock were exchanged by Optex Systems Holdings for 1,027 shares of Company Series A preferred stock and (iii) the 8,131,667 shares of Optex Systems, Inc. (Delaware) common stock purchased in the private placement were exchanged by Optex Systems Holdings for 8,131,667 shares of Company common stock. Following the reorganization, Optex Systems, Inc. (Delaware) remained a wholly-owned subsidiary of Optex Systems Holdings.

Shares outstanding of Optex Systems Holdings just prior to the close consisted of 17,449,991 shares of which 1,250,000 shares were issued on March 27, 2009 as payment for Investor Relations Services, of which 700,000 were surrendered to Optex Systems Holdings upon termination of one of the Investor Relations contracts in June 2009. See Note 11 – “Subsequent Events” for a further discussion of the termination of the relationship with one of Optex Systems Holdings’ investor relations firms and appointment of a replacement service provider.

Prior to the closing of the reorganization agreement, as of March 30, 2009, Optex Systems Holdings accepted subscriptions from accredited investors for a total of 27.1 units, for $45,000 per unit, with each unit consisting of 300,000 shares of common stock, of Optex Systems Holdings and warrants to purchase 300,000 shares of common stock for $0.45 per share for a period of five years from the initial closing, which were issued by Optex Systems Holdings after the closing referenced above. Gross proceeds to Optex Systems Holdings were $1,219,750, and after deducting (i) a cash finder’s fee of $139,555, (ii) non-cash consideration of indebtedness owed to an investor of $146,250, and (iii) stock issuance costs of $59,416, net proceeds were $874,529. The finder also received five year warrants to purchase 2.39 units, at an exercise price of $49,500 per unit.

(1) Sustut Exploration, Inc. Balance Sheet as of the March 30, 2009 reorganization. Other assets include $187,500 in prepaid expenses for investor relation services to be realized over the next 12 months. The services were prepaid by the issue of 1,250,000 Sustut shares issued by Sustut prior to March 30, 2009. The prepaid expense covers April 2009 through April 2010 and will be reflected on the consolidated Statement of Operations for Optex Systems Holdings as expensed. See Note 11 - Subsequent Events. 700,000 of these shares were returned to Optex Systems Holdings subsequent to the quarter end.

The expenses reflected by Optex Systems Holdings on its Statement of Operations for the period from April 1, 2009 through March 31, 2010 will be increased by $46,875 per calendar quarter (as a non-cash expense) as a result of the issuance of the 1,250,000 shares for Investor Relations Services by Sustut and are carried on the Sustut Balance Sheet as a prepaid expense. The same Investor Relations agreements also call for an aggregate cash payment of $8,000 per month which will increase the expense by an additional $24,000 per quarter. Therefore, the total impact of the agreements for Investor Relations Services is $70,875 per quarter (pretax) including both the current cash expense and the amortization of the prepaid expense which is carried on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet of Optex Systems Holdings. See Note 11 - Subsequent Events. 700,000 of these shares were returned to Optex Systems Holdings subsequent to the quarter end.

The pro forma information depicted above reflect the impacts of reduced interest expense, increased intangible amortization expenses, the elimination of corporate allocation costs from Irvine Sensors Corporation and the elimination of employee stock bonus compensation previously allocated from Irvine Sensors Corporation to reflect the costs of the ongoing entity. There is no expected tax effect of the proforma adjustments for the periods affected in 2008 due to net loss and accumulated retained deficit of Irvine Sensors Corporation.

Optex Systems Holdings leases its office and manufacturing facilities under two non-cancellable operating leases expiring November 2009 and February 2010 in addition to maintaining several non-cancellable operating leases for office and manufacturing equipment. Optex Systems Holdings is in negotiation to enter into new leases for the facilities; however, in the event the negotiations are not successful, Optex Systems Holdings believes it can secure replacement facilities upon similar terms in the surrounding vicinity. Total expenses under these facility lease agreements for the three and six months ended March 29, 2009 was $56,978 and 170,935 respectively. Total expenses for manufacturing and office equipment for the three and six months ended March 29, 2009 was $5,598 and $11,195. At March 29, 2009, the remaining minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases for equipment, office and facility space are as follows:

Short Term Note Payable/Longview Fund - On September 23, 2008, Optex Systems, Inc. (Delaware) borrowed $146,709 from Longview and issued a promissory note dated September 23, 2008, to Longview in connection therewith. Pursuant to an Allonge No. 1 to Promissory Note, dated January 20, 2009, the Maturity Date was extended until March 31, 2009. On March 30, 2009 in conjunction with the reorganization and Private Placement, Longview Fund purchased 3.25 units of the Private Placement using $146,250 of the outstanding Note Payable as consideration for the purchase. (See Note 5).

On March 26, 2009, Optex Systems, Inc. (Delaware)’s Board of Directors reconfirmed a 1.7:1 forward split of its common stock to holders of record as of February 23, 2009. Accordingly, as a result of the forward split, the 45,081,350 shares of common stock held by Sileas was split into 76,638,295 shares, and the 4,918,650 shares of common stock held by Arland Holdings, Ltd. was split into 8,361,705 shares.

On March 24, 2009, Optex Systems Holdings filed a Certificate of Designation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware authorizing a series of preferred stock, under its articles of incorporation, known as “Series A preferred stock”. This Certificate of Designation was approved by Optex Systems Holdings’ Board of Directors and Shareholders at a Board Meeting and Shareholders Meeting held on February 25, 2009. The Certificate of Designation sets forth the following terms for the Series A preferred stock: (i) number of authorized shares: 1,027; (ii) per share stated value: $6,000; (iii) liquidation preference per share: stated value; (iv) conversion price: $0.15 per share as adjusted from time to time; and (v) voting rights: votes along with the common stock on an as converted basis with one vote per share.

The Series A preferred stock entitles the holders to receive cumulative dividends at the rate of 6% per annum payable in cash at the discretion of Board of Directors. Each share of preferred stock is immediately convertible into common shares at the option of the holder which entitles the holder to receive the equivalent number of common shares equal to the stated value of the preferred shares divided by the conversion price, which was initially set at $0.15 per share.

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders (the numerator) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (the denominator) for the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by assuming that any dilutive convertible securities outstanding were converted, with related preferred stock dividend requirements and outstanding common shares adjusted accordingly. In a loss year, the calculation for basic and diluted earnings per share is considered to be the same, as the impact of potential common shares is anti-dilutive. As of all periods presented, there were no stock options that could dilute future earnings.

Options granted under the 2009 Stock Option Plan vest as determined by the Board of Directors of Optex Systems Holdings or committee set up to act as a compensation committee of the Board of Directors and terminate after the earliest of the following events: expiration of the option as provided in the option agreement, 90 days subsequent to the date of termination of the employee, or ten years from the date of grant (five years from the date of grant for incentive options granted to an employee who owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of Optex Systems Holdings stock at the date of grant). In some instances, granted stock options are immediately exercisable into restricted shares of common stock, which vest in accordance with the original terms of the related options. Optex Systems Holdings recognizes compensation expense ratably over the requisite service period.

The option price of each share of common stock shall be determined by the Board of Directors or compensation committee (when one is established), provided that with respect to incentive stock options, the option price per share shall in all cases be equal to or greater than 100% of the fair value of a share of common stock on the date of the grant, except an incentive option granted under the 2009 Stock Option Plan to a shareholder that owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of Optex Systems Holdings stock, shall have an exercise price of not less than 110% of the fair value of a share of common stock on the date of grant. No participant may be granted incentive stock options, which would result in shares with an aggregate fair value of more than $100,000 first becoming exercisable in one calendar year.

On May 14, 2009, 1,267,000 stock options were issued to other Optex Systems Holdings employees, including 250,000 shares to one Optex Systems Holdings officer. These stock options vest 25% per year after each year of employment and carry a grant expiration date of seven years after issuance. For shares granted as of May 14, 2009, Optex Systems Holdings anticipates an annualized employee turnover rate of 3% per year, and as such anticipate that only 1,174,786 of the 1,267,000 shares will vest as of the end of the contract term.

Effective as of June 29, 2009, Optex Systems Holdings entered into a Consulting Agreement with ZA Consulting, Inc. for the provision of consulting services to Optex Systems Holdings’ management including investor support; broker relations; conducting due diligence meetings with brokers, analysts, institutional money managers and financial media companies; attendance at investor conferences and trade shows; and assistance in the preparation and dissemination of press releases and stockholder communications. ZA Consulting will also assist Optex Systems Holdings with corporate communications involving brand, product, and corporate awareness. The term of the Agreement is for one year terminating June 30, 2010. For services rendered, ZA Consulting was paid $150,000 upon execution of the Agreement and will receive $5,000 per month for the duration of the agreement, and it received 480,000 shares of common stock which vest at the rate of 40,000 shares per month.

On October 27, 2009, Optex Systems Holdings borrowed $250,000 from Longview pursuant to a promissory note, which originally expired on December 1, 2009, but was extended until July 15, 2010. The note bears interest at the rate of 10% per annum, and all accrued and unpaid interest will be due upon maturity. Optex is required to pay down 50% of the then outstanding principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon upon the closing of a credit facility or other equity or debt financing from which the net proceeds are at least $900,000, with any remaining unpaid balance due on July 15, 2010. In exchange for the extension, Optex Systems Holdings granted Longview a warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of restricted common stock with an exercise price of $0.15 per share and a term of three years.

The presentation of the October 14, 2008 Optex Systems, Inc. (Delaware) acquisition of all the assets and certain liabilities of Optex Systems, Inc. (Texas) has been restated to properly reflect Optex Systems, Inc. (Delaware) as the successor entity and Optex Systems, Inc. (Texas) as the predecessor entity. The acquisition of the assets and certain liabilities of Optex Systems, Inc. (Texas) was deemed a business acquisition (See Note 1) therefore the activity of Optex Systems, Inc. (Texas) is presented as the predecessor. Additionally, Optex Systems Holdings, Inc’s outstanding common stock and additional paid in capital have been restated to properly reflect the number and dollar value of Sustut Exploration common shares as of the date of reorganization.

The following discussion highlights the principal factors that have affected our financial condition and results of operations as well as our liquidity and capital resources for the periods described. This discussion contains forward-looking statements. Please see “Special cautionary statement concerning forward-looking statements” and “Risk factors” for a discussion of the uncertainties, risks and assumptions associated with these forward-looking statements. The operating results for the periods presented were not significantly affected by inflation.

This management's discussion and analysis reflects information known to management as at March 29, 2009. This MD&A is intended to supplement and complement our audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended September 28, 2008 (Predecessor), prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). You are encouraged to review our financial statements in conjunction with your review of this MD&A. The financial information in this MD&A has been prepared in accordance with GAAP, unless otherwise indicated. In addition, we use non-GAAP financial measures as supplemental indicators of our operating performance and financial position. We use these non-GAAP financial measures internally for comparing actual results from one period to another, as well as for planning purposes. We will also report non-GAAP financial results as supplemental information, as we believe their use provides more insight into our performance. When non-GAAP measures are used in this MD&A, they are clearly identified as a non-GAAP measure and reconciled to the most closely corresponding GAAP measure.

(Delaware) and warrants to purchase 300,000 shares of common stock for $0.45 per share for a period of five (5) years from the initial closing, which were issued by Optex Systems, Inc. (Delaware) after the closing referenced above. Gross proceeds to Optex Systems, Inc. (Delaware) were $1,219,750, and after deducting (i) a cash finder’s fee of $139,555, (ii) non-cash consideration of indebtedness owed to an investor of $146,250, and (iii) stock issuance costs of $59,416, the net proceeds were $874,529. The finder also received five year warrants to purchase 2.39 units, at an exercise price of $49,500 per unit. As described above, these 8,131,667 shares were exchanged for 8,131,667 shares of Optex Systems Holdings common stock in the reorganization.

Optex Systems, Inc. (Delaware) manufactures optical sighting systems and assemblies primarily for Department of Defense applications. Its products are installed on a majority of types of U.S. military land vehicles, such as the Abrams and Bradley fighting vehicles, light armored and armored security vehicles and have been selected for installation on the Stryker family of vehicles. Optex Systems, Inc. (Delaware) also manufactures and delivers numerous periscope configurations, rifle and surveillance sights and night vision optical assemblies. Optex Systems, Inc. (Delaware) products consist primarily of build-to-customer print products that are delivered both directly to the armed services and to other defense prime contractors. Less than 1% of today’s revenue is resale of products “substantially manufactured by others”. In this case, the product would likely be a simple replacement part of a larger system previously produced by Optex Systems, Inc. (Delaware).

Optex Systems, Inc. (Delaware) delivers high volume products, under multi-year contracts, to large defense contractors. It has the reputation and credibility with those customers as a strategic supplier. Irvine Sensors Corporation (“Irvine Sensors Corporation”) is predominately a research and design company with capabilities enabling only prototype or low quantity volumes. Optex Systems, Inc. (Delaware) is predominately a high volume manufacturing company. Therefore the systems and processes needed to meet customer’s needs are quite different. While both companies serve the military market, the customers within these markets are different. For example, two of the largest customers for Optex are GDLS and TACOM. Irvine Sensors Corporation did not have any contracts or business relations with either of these two customers. Therefore the separation has allowed Optex Systems, Inc. (Delaware) to fully focus on high volume manufacturing and the use of the six sigma manufacturing methodology. This shift in priorities has allowed Optex Systems, Inc. (Delaware) to improve delivery performance and reduce operational costs.

Many of our contracts allow for government contract financing in the form of contract progress payments pursuant to Federal Acquisition Regulation 52.232-16. “Progress Payments”. As a small business, and subject to certain limitations, this clause provides for government payment of up to 90% of incurred program costs prior to product delivery. To the extent our contracts allow for progress payments, we intend to utilize this benefit, thereby minimizing the working capital impact on Optex Systems Holdings for materials and labor required to complete the contracts.

The successful completion of the separation from Irvine Sensors Corporation, which was accomplished by Optex Systems, Inc. (Delaware)’s acquisition of all of the assets and assumption of certain liabilities of Optex Systems, Inc. (Texas), reduced the general and administrative costs allocated by Irvine Sensors Corporation. These costs represented services paid by Irvine Sensors Corporation for expenses incurred on Optex Systems, Inc. (Texas)’ behalf such as legal, accounting and audit, consulting fees and insurance costs in addition to significant amounts of Irvine Sensors Corporation’s general overhead allocated to Optex Systems, Inc. (Texas).

The liabilities not assumed relate to costs that would not have been incurred by Optex Systems, Inc. (Texas) if they were operated on a stand-alone basis, including a note due to Timothy Looney. The 2007 promissory note had a principal amount of $2,000,000 together with accrued and unpaid interest aggregating to approximately $2,300,000. The note was an amendment to Looney’s earn-out agreement which was the consideration for Irvine Sensor’s purchase of Optex Systems, Inc. (Texas).

The 2007 promissory note was not assumed by Optex Systems, Inc. (Delaware) in the October 2008 transaction. The note and accrued interest was reported on Optex Systems, Inc. (Texas) financial statements as of September 28, 2008 as a result of push down accounting for the acquisition of Optex Systems, Inc. (Texas) by Irvine Sensors. The note would not have been incurred by Optex Systems, Inc. (Texas) if operated as a stand alone entity because it relates to Irvine Sensor’s consideration for its purchase of Optex Systems, Inc. (Texas). Therefore, we expect no similar impact to the future operating results or liquidity of Optex Systems Holdings.

Based on the current level of deliverable backlog, we expect the next three months’ revenues to be consistent with the total for the periods September 29, 2008 through October 14, 2008 (Predecessor) and October 15, 2008 through March 29, 2009 (Successor). In addition, future business includes expected awards yet to be determined. Although the current range of products being manufactured is dependent on the receipt of continued and timely funding to existing programs, the most recent proposed federal budget is not expected to impact any of our existing programs in the near term.

The table below summarizes our quarterly and year to date operating results in terms of both a GAAP net income measure and a non GAAP EBITDA measure. We use EBITDA as an additional measure for evaluating the performance of our business as “net income” includes the significant impact of noncash Intangible Amortization on our income performance. Consequently, in order to have a meaningful measure of our operating performance on a continuing basis, we need to evaluate an income measure which does not take into account this Intangible Amortization. We have summarized the quarterly revenue and margin below along with a reconciliation of the GAAP net loss to the non GAAP EBITDA calculation for comparative purposes below. We believe that including both measures allows the reader to have a “complete picture” of our overall performance.

We have experienced substantial improvement in our EBITDA as compared to our prior year performance. We have increased our EBITDA by $1.1million in the six months ending March 29, 2009 as compared to the six months ending March 30, 2008 (Predecessor), primarily as a result of increased revenue and lower general and administrative costs. We expect this trend to continue over the next 12 months as our product mix shifts towards more profitable programs and we continue to pursue cost reductions in our production and general and administrative areas.

Product mix is dictated by customer contracted delivery dates and volume of each product to be delivered on such delivery dates. Shifts in gross margin from quarter to quarter are primarily attributable to the differing product mix recognized as revenues during each respective period. During the three and six months ended March 29, 2009, our revenues on legacy periscope programs increased significantly over the prior year while margins significantly decreased. The legacy periscope contracts were awarded January 2003, and due to significant material price increases subsequent to the contract award date, we are experiencing a loss on these contracts. We have fully reserved for future contract losses on this program, thus deliveries against these programs yield a product margin of zero. During the first six months of 2009, we recognized revenue of $3.2 million from these legacy periscope programs, with a remaining backlog of $3.4 million, $2.2 million of which should be recognized in 2009 and the remaining $1.2 million in the first three quarters of 2010. We expect our product margins on periscopes to increase over the next 12 months as the legacy programs are completed and are replaced with new awards.

We are aggressively pursuing additional, potentially higher margin periscope business, and in May 2009, Optex Systems Holdings was awarded a multi-year Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity type contract accompanied by the first delivery order from TACOM. If all government forecasted delivery orders against this Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract are awarded and if we were to share equally with the other supplier in the awarded releases, the total value of the contract to us could be valued at approximately $7.5 million over the next three years. In June 2009, we received an additional $3.4 million dollar award from GDLS and in September 2009, an additional $1.9 million award to provide product beginning with delivery starting in 2011 at the completion of our current production contract.

As a result of the October 14, 2008 acquisition of the assets of Optex Systems, Inc. (Texas) (Predecessor), our amortizable intangible assets increased significantly over the prior year. The non cash amortization of intangible assets has had a negative impact on our Gross Margin for 2009 as compared to 2008. In 2009, our anticipated intangible amortization expense is $2 million and is expected to decline to $1 million in 2010.

Virtually all of our contracts are prime or subcontracted directly with the Federal government and, as such, are subject to Federal Acquisition Regulation Subpart 49.5, “Contract Termination Clauses” and more specifically Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses 52.249-2 “Termination for Convenience of the Government Fixed-Price)”, and 49.504 “Termination of fixed-price contracts for default”. These clauses are standard clauses on our prime military contracts and generally apply to us as subcontractors. It has been our experience that the termination for convenience is rarely invoked, except where it is mutually beneficial for both parties. We are currently not aware of any pending terminations for convenience or for default on our existing contracts.

In the event a termination for convenience were to occur, these Federal Acquisition Regulation clause 52.249-2 provides for full recovery of all contractual costs and profits reasonably occurred up to and as a result of the terminated contract. In the event a termination for default were to occur, we could be liable for any excess cost incurred by the government to acquire supplies from another supplier similar to those terminated from us. We would not be liable for any excess costs if the failure to perform the contract arises from causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the company as defined by Federal Acquisition Regulation clause 52.249-8. In addition, the Government may require us to transfer title and deliver to the Government any completed supplies, partially completed supplies and materials, parts, tools, dies, jigs, fixtures, plans, drawings, information, and contract rights that we have specifically produced or acquired for the terminated portion of this contract. The Government shall pay contract price for completed supplies delivered and accepted, and we and the Government would negotiate an agreed upon amount of payment for manufacturing materials delivered and accepted and for the protection and preservation of the property. Failure to agree on an amount for manufacturing materials is subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulation Disputes clause 52.233-1.

In some cases, we may receive an “undefinitized” (i.e., price, specifications and terms are not agreed upon before performance commenced) contract award for contracts that exceed the $650,000, which is the federal government simplified acquisition threshold. These contracts are considered firm contracts at an undefinitized, but not to exceed specified limits threshold. Cost Accounting Standards Board covered contracts are subject to the Truth in Negotiations Act disclosure requirements and downward only price negotiation. As of March 29, 2009, 5.1% of our outstanding backlog, or $1.7 million of booked orders, fell under this criterion. Our experience has been that the historically negotiated price differentials have been minimal (5% or less) and accordingly, we do not anticipate any significant downward adjustments on these booked orders.

Revenues increased $1.6 million in the periscope product line during the three months ended March 29, 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008. The significant increases in periscopes is attributable to increased demand by GDLS and U.S. government accelerated schedules, whereby, in consideration for increased pricing of approximately $1 million, Optex Systems, Inc. (Delaware) agreed to accelerate the contract delivery schedule and deliver at higher volumes to support increased military service needs. Of the total periscope revenue increase, approximately 82% is attributable to increased product levels, as compared to 18% due to accelerated pricing. The ramp up included the addition direct labor headcount of approximately 8 employees, combined with dual sourcing of material on several key components needed to meet the increased production requirements. Based on our current backlog demand, we expect the periscope revenues to decline in the last half of 2009 as the accelerated orders near completion; however we expect the revenue on periscopes to remain strong in 2010 as we continue to quote and receive awards for additional periscopes from multiple customers.

Revenues in the Howitzer programs decreased by ($0.8) million over the same quarter in the prior year due to technical issues experienced on the Howitzer product lines related to problems with the government technical data and drawing package affecting the manufacturability of the products and the functionality of the product during field use and testing. These issues were resolved subsequent to the second fiscal quarter of 2009 through Optex initiated engineering change proposals and customer changes to the statement of work and contract schedules modified accordingly to implement the required changes. With most of the technical and start up issues behind us on these programs, we expect to increase program deliveries on these programs during the third and fourth fiscal quarters of fiscal year 2009 continuing through 2010.

Cost of Goods Sold. During the quarter ended March 29, 2009, we recorded cost of goods sold of $6.2 million as opposed to $5.0 million during the quarter ended March 30, 2008, an increase of $1.2 million or 24.0%. This increase in cost of goods sold was primarily associated with increased revenue on our periscope lines in support of higher backlog and accelerated delivery schedules, in addition to increased intangible amortization resulting from the acquisition of Optex Systems, Inc. (Texas) (Predecessor) assets from Irvine Sensors Corporation on October 14, 2008. The gross margin during the quarter ended March 29, 2009 (Successor) was 8.3% of revenues as compared to a gross margin of 10.7% for the quarter ended March 30, 2008 (Predecessor). Product margins increased substantially to 15.9% for the quarter ended March 29, 2009 (Successor) versus 10.9% for the quarter ended March 30, 2008 (Predecessor) due to a shift in second quarter revenue mix toward more profitable glass periscope and sighting system contracts and lower revenues in Howitzer programs. Margins were further impacted by higher intangible amortization allocable to cost of goods sold of $0.4 million, and increased reserves for valuations and warranties of $0.1 million, resulting in an overall increase in cost of goods sold of 7.6% of revenues in the quarter ended March 29, 2009.

Lower Salaries and Wages and employee related costs of $0.1 million primarily due to the reclassification of 10 purchasing and planning employees from general and administrative to manufacturing overhead in cost of sales. The annualized impact of the personnel move is expected to be a reduction in general and administrative expenses of approximately $0.3 million with an offsetting increase to cost of goods sold.

Loss from Operations. During the three months ended March 29, 2009, we recorded a loss from operations of $(0.1) million, as compared to $(0.6) million for three months ended March 30, 2008, a decrease in operating loss of $0.5 million or 83.3%. The loss from operations includes a $0.4 million increase in non-cash amortization of intangible assets as a result of the October 14, 2008 acquisition of the assets of Optex Systems, Inc. (Texas) (Predecessor).

Net Loss. During the three months ended March 29, 2009, we recorded a net loss of $(0.33) million, as compared to $(0.68) million for three months ended March 30, 2008, a decrease in loss of $0.35 million or 51.5%. Federal Income Taxes expense increased by $0.1 million over the prior year as a result of increased profit before intangible amortization expense. The intangible amortization expense is amortized over 5 years for book purposes and is deductable over 15 years for income tax purposes. In 2008, there was no Federal Income Tax expense due to the loss from operations. Excluding the impact of the increased intangible expenses of $0.4 million, we would have recorded net income of $.07 million for the three months ended March 29, 2009.

Revenues increased $4.6 million in periscopes during the six months ended March 29, 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008. The significant increase in periscope sales is attributable to increased demand by GDLS and U.S. government accelerated schedules, whereby, in consideration for increased pricing of approximately $1.0 million, Optex Systems, Inc. (Delaware) agreed to accelerate the contract delivery schedule and deliver at higher volumes to support increased military service needs. Of the total periscope revenue increase, approximately 82% is attributable to increased product levels, as compared to 18% due to accelerated pricing. The ramp up included the addition direct labor headcount of approximately 8 employees, combined with dual sourcing of material on several key components needed to meet the increased production requirements. During the first 6 months of 2009, Optex had delivered approximately 49% of the accelerated units, with the remaining units to be delivered through the first quarter of 2010. Based on our current backlog demand, we expect the periscope revenues to decline in the last half of 2009 as the accelerated orders near completion; however we expect the revenue on periscopes to remain strong in 2010 as we continue to quote and receive awards for additional periscopes from multiple customers.

Revenues in the Howitzer programs declined slightly by ($0.5) million over the same period in the prior year due to technical issues experienced on the Howitzer product lines related to problems with the government technical data and drawing package affecting the manufacturability of the products and the functionality of the product during field use and testing. These issues were resolved subsequent to the second fiscal quarter of 2009 through Optex initiated engineering change proposals and customer changes to the statement of work and contract schedules modified accordingly to implement the required changes. With most of the technical and start up issues behind us on these programs, we expect to increase program deliveries on these programs during the third and fourth fiscal quarters of fiscal year 2009 continuing through 2010.

Currently, we are experiencing losses on our Howitzer programs as a result of unanticipated manufacturing costs due to design and technical data package issues impacting the product manufacturability. These issues have resulted in increased labor and material costs due to higher scrap and extensive engineering costs incurred during the start up phase of the programs. In addition some of our older “legacy” periscope programs are experiencing losses due to significant material price increases since the initial 5 year contract award in 2004. As of March 29, 2009, Optex Systems Holdings has reserved $0.6 million in contract loss reserves on Howitzer programs and $0.2 million on periscope programs for a total of $0.8 million in contract loss reserves. The total remaining backlog on these loss programs as of March 29, 2009 is $10.3 million. We are expecting to ship $4.0 of the loss contract backlog in the second half of 2009 and $4.5 million of the existing loss contract backlog in 2010, with the remaining $1.8 million expected to ship in the first quarter of 2011. As these losses have been previously recognized to the extent identified, future margins on these revenues are expected to be zero.

Currently, we are not experiencing any negative impact due to changes in incremental funding commitments by federal agencies. There has been one delay in the award of the second delivery order for the U.S. government periscope contract subsequent to March 29, 2009, however as the contract is a dual award between Optex Systems Holdings and a competitor with no volume guaranteed to any single-source, we have not expended any resources in support of the yet to be awarded portion of the contract. We are anticipating a government award on the contract in the second quarter of 2010. However, delay of the government procurement is not expected to negatively impacted Optex Systems Holdings’ revenue in 2009, and due to other increased periscope orders from non U.S. government contracts further delays in the award on the prime government contract should not materially affect Optex Systems Holdings in the next 12 months.

Cost of Goods Sold. During the Predecessor period from September 29, 2008 through October 14, 2008, we recorded cost of goods sold of $0.7 million and during the Successor period from October 15 through March 29, 2009 we recorded cost of goods sold of $11.7 million for a total cost of good sold during the six month period of $12.5 million as compared, to $8.9 million during the six months ended March 30, 2008, an increase of $3.6 million or 40.4%. This increase in cost of goods sold was primarily associated with increased revenue on our periscope product lines in support of higher backlog and accelerated delivery schedules and increased intangible amortization resulting from the acquisition of the assets of Optex Systems, Inc. (Texas) (Predecessor) on October 14, 2008. The gross margin during the Predecessor period beginning September 29, 2008 through October 14, 2008 was $0.1 million and the gross margin for the Successor period beginning October 15, 2008 through March 29, 2009 was $1.4 million for a total of $1.5 million or 10.8% of revenues as compared to a gross margin of 11.7% for the six months ended March 30, 2008. Product gross margins were up 3.4% to 18.1% for the period ended March 29, 2009 versus 14.7% for the six months ended March 30, 2008 due to a shift in revenue mix toward more profitable contracts for periscopes and sighting systems. Margins were further impacted by higher intangible amortization allocable to cost of goods sold of $0.6 million, and increased reserves for valuations and warranties of $0.1 million, resulting in an overall increase in cost of goods sold of 7.3% of revenues in the period ended March 29, 2009 as compared to the six months ended March 30, 2008.

G&A Expenses. During the Predecessor period from September 29, 2008 through October 14, 2008 we recorded operating expense of $0.1 million and during the period from October 15, 2008 through March 29, 2009, we recorded operating expenses of $1.2 million for a total of $1.3 million for the six months ended March 29, 2009 as opposed to $2.5 million during the six months ended March 30, 2008, a decrease of $1.2 million or 48.0%. The components of the significant net decrease in general and administrative expenses as compared to the six months ended March 30, 2008 are outlined below.

Income (Loss) from Operations. During the Predecessor period from September 29, 2008 through October 14, 2008 we recorded income from operations of $0.07 million and for the Successor period from October 15, 2008 through March 29, 2009, we recorded a income from operations of $0.1 million for a total operating income of $0.17 million during the six month period as opposed to a loss from operations of $(1.3) million during the six months ended March 30, 2008. This improvement was primarily due to increased sales revenue in the period ended March 29, 2009, combined with reduced general and administrative expenses driven by the elimination of Irvine Sensors Corporation corporate costs pushed down to us in the six months ended March 30, 2008. The current year loss from operations also includes $1.0 million of non cash amortization of intangible assets as a result of the October 14, 2008 acquisition transaction.

Net Income (Loss). During the Predecessor period from September 29, 2008 through October 14, 2008 we recorded net income of $0.07 million, and for the period beginning October 15, 2008 through March 29, 2009, we recorded a net loss of $(0.4) million for a total net loss of $(.33) million during the six months ended March 29, 2009, as compared to $(1.4) million for six months ended March 30, 2008, a decrease in net loss of $1.07 million or 76.4%. This decrease in net loss was principally the result of reduced operating expenses related to the elimination of corporate cost allocations from Irvine Sensors Corporation since the successor operating as a stand-alone entity did not incur these costs in the six months ended March 30, 2008 combined with increased revenue in the period ending March 29, 2009. Federal Income Tax expense increased by $0.4 million over the prior year period as a result of the increased profit before intangible amortization expense. The intangible amortization expense is amortized over five years for book purposes and is deductible over 15 years for income tax purposes. In 2008, there was no Federal Income Tax expense due to the loss from operations. Excluding the impact of the increased intangible expenses of $1.0 million, we would have recorded net income of $0.7 million for the six month period ending March 29, 2009.

In the 2008 fiscal year, Optex Systems, Inc. (Texas) working capital was significantly constrained due a high level of loss programs and production increases across multiple programs which necessitated the need for investment in inventories and manpower resources required to meet the additional product demand. As Optex Systems, Inc. (Texas) was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Irvine Sensors Corporation, access to additional outside funding apart from government progress bills was severely limited. Further, Optex Systems, Inc. (Texas) had incurred significant costs on one of the Howitzer programs and was unable to recover these costs until fiscal 2009 due to progress billing limitations prior to first article inspection testing and approval which did not occur until August of 2009. During 2008, Optex Systems, Inc. (Texas) transferred $0.7 million in cash to Irvine Sensors in support of intercompany services provided by Irvine Sensors on behalf of Optex Systems, Inc. (Texas) that were outside our control, including: legal, accounting, and consulting fees; Irvine Sensors Corporation travel expenses; and insurance costs.

Subsequent to the asset acquisition from Irvine Sensors on October 14, 2008 and the reverse merger and reorganization on March 30, 2009, Optex Systems Holdings raised additional cash through a private equity sale that generated gross proceeds of $1.0 million. As a result of the new capital, Optex Systems Holdings will be able acquire the necessary inventory and personnel resources required to operate at the higher revenue levels, and improve the company’s working capital position.

We have historically met our liquidity requirements from a variety of sources, including government and customer funding through contract progress bills, short term loans, notes from related parties, and the sale of equity securities. Based upon our current working capital position and potential for expanded business revenues, we believe that our working capital is sufficient to fund our current operations for the next 12 months. However, based upon our strategy and the anticipated growth in our business, we believe that our liquidity needs may increase in the future. The amount of such increase will depend on many factors, including the costs associated with the fulfillment of our projects, whether we upgrade our technology, and the amount of inventory required for our expanding business. If our liquidity needs do increase, we believe additional capital resources will be derived from a variety of sources including, but not limited to, cash flow from operations and further private placements of our common stock and/or debt, including receivables funding through a commercial lender.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. As of October 14, 2008, Optex Systems, Inc. (Texas) (Predecessor) had cash and cash equivalents of $0.3 million, an increase of $0.1 million from September 29, 2008. The slight increase in cash was primarily due to the timing of cash receipts on accounts receivable collections and supplier payments. The cash balance as of October 14, 2008 is included as “Cash Received through Optex Systems, Inc. (Texas) acquisition” as of October 15, 2008.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $0.1 million for the Predecessor period of September 29, 2008 through October 14, 2008. Cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to the timing of purchases and accounts receivable collections during the 15 day period prior to the acquisition of Optex Systems Inc, (Texas), by Optex Systems Inc., (Delaware). During this period, our net inventory increased by $0.9 million to support substantially increased production rates across all of our product lines and our accounts receivable decreased $(1.0) million due to timing of collections from one of our major customers in the second week of October 2008. Accounts payable and accrued expenses decreased by $(0.2) million due to the timing of cash disbursements prior to the acquisition.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. As of March 29, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1.2 million. During the Successor period of October 15, 2008 through March 29, 2009 we increased cash and cash equivalents by $0.9 million primarily due to the net proceeds received by us in the private placement with the balance of increased cash due to aggressive collections on accounts receivable and increased accounts payable due to timing of disbursements.

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities during the Successor period beginning October 15, 2008 and ending March 29, 2009 totaled $0.3 million. The primary sources of cash during this period relate to the timing of purchases, accelerated collections on government contracts, and the timing of payments to vendors. Accelerated collections of government contracts was accomplished by offering nominal discounts for prompt payment. Federal Acquisition Regulation Clause 52.232-8 “Discounts for Prompt Payment” permits the offer of nominal discounts on payment terms for government contracts in order to expedite invoice payment. Because many of our programs incur significant, long lead times from material acquisition through production and shipment, it is the standard policy of Optex Systems, Inc. (Delaware) to offer a 0.5% discount for all government invoices paid in net 10 days or less. The normal payment terms on these contracts are net 30. The foregone revenues as a result of the discounted payments equate to less than 0.1% of total revenue reported during the same period. In the period beginning October 15, 2008 and ending March 29, 2009, our net inventory increased by $1.1 million to support substantially increased production rates across all of our product lines. A large portion of these inventories are progress billable costs and as such were billed to our customer as costs were incurred. As of March 29, 2009, our accounts receivable included approximately $0.6 million in unpaid outstanding progress bills related to these programs, which were paid in April 2009. We expect similar cash flows from operations until at least mid 2010 when our low margin legacy periscope programs are anticipated to end and are replaced with other significant programs as they reach level production rates.

Net Cash Provided By Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $0.7 million during the period beginning October 15, 2008 through March 29, 2009, The change of $0.7 million is due to receipt of the private placement funds of $0.9 million offset by funds used to repay outstanding loans of $(0.2) million. We raised funds through a private placement for working capital needs, primarily inventory purchases and additional personnel so support increased revenue and production rates during the period.

Stock-Based Compensation: In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment. SFAS No. 123R establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. SFAS No. 123R focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. SFAS No. 123R requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. That cost will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued.

The units-of-delivery method recognizes as revenue the contract price of units of a basic production product delivered during a period and as the cost of earned revenue the costs allocable to the delivered units; costs allocable to undelivered units are reported in the balance sheet as inventory or work in progress. The method is used in circumstances in which an entity produces units of a basic product under production-type contracts in a continuous or sequential production process to buyers' specifications.

Warranty Costs: Some of our customers require that we warranty the quality of our products to meet customer requirements and be free of defects for up to fifteen months subsequent to delivery. In the six months ended March 29, 2009 Optex Systems Holdings recognized warranty expenses of $57,306. Future warranty costs are based on the estimated cost of replacement for expected returns based upon our most recent experience rate of defects as a percentage of warranty covered sales. Prior to fiscal year 2008, all warranty expenses were incurred as product was replaced with no reserve for warranties against deliveries in the covered period.

On certain periscope product lines, the warranty period has been extended from 15 to 24 months due to technical considerations incurred during the manufacture of such products. During June of 2008, Optex Systems, Inc. (Texas) experienced an internal control test failure related to the laser filters used on one of the periscope products. As a result of the internal test failure, Optex implemented a manufacturing process change to eliminate the potential for future failures. We believe the internal control test environment to be significantly more stringent than that which would occur under field conditions, however as a result of the internal test failure and manufacturing process change, we extended our warranty for all product shipped prior to the implemented change. As of the date of this report, Optex Systems Holdings has not received any warranty claims as a result of the condition.

Estimated Costs to Complete and Accrued Loss on Contracts. Optex Systems Holdings reviews and reports on the performance of its contracts and production orders against the respective resource plans for such contracts/orders. These reviews are summarized in the form of estimates to complete and estimates at completion. Estimates at completion include Optex Systems Holdings’ incurred costs to date against the contract/order plus management's current estimates of remaining amounts for direct labor, material, other direct costs and subcontract support and indirect overhead costs based on the completion status and future contractual requirements for each order. If an estimate at completion indicates a potential overrun (loss) against a fixed price contract/order, management generally seeks to reduce costs and /or revise the program plan in a manner consistent with customer objectives in order to eliminate or minimize any overrun and to secure necessary customer agreement to proposed revisions.

If an estimate at completion indicates a potential overrun against budgeted resources for a fixed price contract/order, management first attempts to implement lower cost solutions to still profitably meet the requirements of the fixed price contract. If such solutions do not appear practicable, management makes a determination whether to seek renegotiation of contract or order requirements from the customer. If neither cost reduction nor renegotiation appears probable, an accrual for the contract loss/overrun is recorded against earnings and the loss is recognized in the first period the loss is identified based on the most recent estimate at completion of the particular contract or product order.

Government Contracts: Virtually all of our contracts are prime or subcontracted directly with the Federal government and as such, are subject to Federal Acquisition Regulation Subpart 49.5, “Contract Termination Clauses” and more specifically Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses 52.249-2 “Termination for Convenience of the Government (Fixed-Price)”, and 49.504 “Termination of fixed-price contracts for default”.

In June 2006, The FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109”. This Interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on Optex Systems Holdings’ consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” which establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. While FASB No. 157 does not apply to transactions involving share-based payment covered by FASB No. 123, it establishes a theoretical framework for analyzing fair value measurements that is absent from FASB No. 123. We have relied on the theoretical framework established by FASB No. 157 in connection with certain valuation measurements that were made in the preparation of these financial statements. FASB No. 157 is effective for years beginning after November 15, 2007. Subsequent to the Standard’s issuance, the FASB issued an exposure draft that provides a one year deferral for implementation of the Standard for non-financial assets and liabilities. Optex Systems Holdings is currently evaluating the impact FASB No. 157 will have on its financial statements.

In February 2007, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities-Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115,” was issued. This standard allows a company to irrevocably elect fair value as the initial and subsequent measurement attribute for certain financial assets and financial liabilities on a contract-by-contract basis, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. The provisions of this standard are effective as of the beginning of our fiscal year 2008, with early adoption permitted. Optex Systems Holdings is currently evaluating what effect the adoption of FASB 159 will have on its financial statements.

In March 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ratified “EITF” Issue No. 06-10, "Accounting for Collateral Assignment Split-Dollar Life Insurance Agreements”. EITF 06-10 provides guidance for determining a liability for the postretirement benefit obligation as well as recognition and measurement of the associated asset on the basis of the terms of the collateral assignment agreement. EITF 06-10 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. Optex Systems Holdings is currently evaluating the impact of EITF 06-10 on its financial statements, but does not expect it to have a material effect.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations and SFAS No. 160, Accounting and Reporting of Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51. These new standards will significantly change the accounting for and reporting of business combinations and non-controlling (minority) interests in consolidated financial statements. Statement Nos. 141(R) and 160 are required to be adopted simultaneously and are effective for the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. Optex Systems Holdings is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS Nos. 141(R) and SFAS 160 on its financial statements. See Note 14 to the financial statements for the year ended September 28, 2008 for adoption of SFAS 141R subsequent to September 30, 2008.

In March 2008, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133”. SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008 with early application encouraged. As such, Optex Systems Holdings is required to adopt these provisions at the beginning of the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009. Optex Systems Holdings is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 161 on its financial statements but does not expect it to have a material effect.

In May 2008, FASB issued SFAS No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States. SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Optex Systems Holdings is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 162 on its consolidated financial statements but does not expect it to have a material effect.

In May 2008, FASB issued SFAS No. 163, "Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60". SFAS 163 interprets Statement 60 and amends existing accounting pronouncements to clarify their application to the financial guarantee insurance contracts included within the scope of that Statement. SFAS 163 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and all interim periods within those fiscal years. As such, Optex Systems Holdings is required to adopt these provisions at the beginning of the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011. Optex Systems Holdings is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 163 on its financial statements but does not expect it to have a material effect.

In June 2008, FASB issued FASB Staff Position EITF 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions are Participating Securities”. FSP EITF 03-6-1 clarifies that share-based payment awards that entitle their holders to receive nonforfeitable dividends or dividend equivalents before vesting should be considered participating securities. We have granted and expect to continue to grant restricted stock that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends and will be considered participating securities upon adoption of FSP EITF 03-6-1. As participating securities, we will be required to include these instruments in the calculation of our basic earnings per share ("EPS"), and we will need to calculate basic EPS using the "two-class method." Restricted stock is currently included in our dilutive EPS calculation using the treasury stock method. The two-class method of computing EPS is an earnings allocation formula that determines EPS for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and all interim periods within those fiscal years. As such, Optex Systems Holdings is required to adopt these provisions at the beginning of the fiscal year ending October 3, 2010. Optex Systems Holdings does not expect adoption of FSP EITF 03-6-1 to have a material effect on the Optex Systems Holdings’ financial statements.

In May 2009, “FASB issued SFAS No. 165, "Subsequent Events". SFAS 165 establishes principles and requirements for the reporting of events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date, but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. SFAS 165 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods ending after June 15, 2009. As such, Optex Systems Holdings adopted these provisions at the beginning of the interim period ended June 28, 2009. Adoption of SFAS 165 did not have a material effect on Optex Systems Holdings’ financial statements.

In June 2009, FASB issued SFAS No. 168, " The FASB Accounting Standards Codification TM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles - a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162". SFAS 168 replaces Statement 162 and to establish the FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM (Codification) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. SFAS 168 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods ending after September 15, 2009. As such, Optex Systems Holdings is required to adopt these provisions at the beginning of the period ending September 27, 2009. Optex Systems Holdings does not expect adoption of SFAS 168 to have a material effect its financial statements.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other written reports and oral statements made from time to time by Optex Systems Holdings may contain so-called “forward-looking statements,” all of which are subject to risks and uncertainties. You can identify these forward-looking statements by their use of words such as “expects,” “plans,” “will,” “estimates,” “forecasts,” “projects” and other words of similar meaning. You can identify them by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements are likely to address Optex Systems Holdings’ growth strategy, financial results and product and development programs. You must carefully consider any such statement and should understand that many factors could cause actual results to differ from Optex Systems Holdings’ forward-looking statements. These factors include inaccurate assumptions and a broad variety of other risks and uncertainties, including some that are known and some that are not. No forward-looking statement can be guaranteed and actual future results may vary materially.

Optex Systems Holdings does not assume the obligation to update any forward-looking statement. You should carefully evaluate such statements in light of factors described in this Form 10-Q. In various filings the Optex Systems Holdings has identified important factors that could cause actual results to differ from expected or historic results. You should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors. Consequently, you should not consider any such list to be a complete list of all potential risks or uncertainties.

As of the end of the period covered by our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 29, 2009, management performed, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the report we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management including our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Based upon the evaluation described above, our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 29, 2009, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Prospective investors should carefully consider the risks described below, together with all of the other information included or referred to in this Form 10-Q, before purchasing shares of our common stock. There are numerous and varied risks, known and unknown, that may prevent us from achieving our goals. The risks described below are not the only risks we will face. If any of these risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations may be materially adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline and investors in our common stock could lose all or part of their investment. The risks and uncertainties described below are not exclusive and are intended to reflect the material risks that are specific to us , material risks related to our industry and material risks related to companies that undertake a public offering or seek to maintain a class of securities that is registered or traded on any exchange or over-the-counter market.

We anticipate we will have to raise additional capital in the future to service our debt and to finance our future working capital needs. We cannot assure you that any additional capital will be available on a timely basis, on acceptable terms, or at all. Future equity or debt financings may be difficult to obtain. If we are not able to obtain additional capital as may be required, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Even if available, financings can involve significant costs and expenses, such as legal and accounting fees, diversion of management’s time and efforts, and substantial transaction costs. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, or at all, we may be unable to finance our operations, develop or enhance our products, expand our sales and marketing programs, take advantage of future opportunities or respond to competitive pressures.

Current economic conditions may cause a decline in business and consumer spending and capital market performance, which could adversely affect our business and financial performance. Our ability to raise funds, upon which we are fully dependent to continue to expand our operations, may be adversely affected by current and future economic conditions, such as a reduction in the availability of credit, financial market volatility and economic recession.

Our ability to fulfill our backlog may be limited by our ability to devote sufficient financial and human capital resources and limited by available material supplies. If we do not fulfill our backlog in a timely manner, we may experience delays in product delivery which would postpone receipt of revenue from those delayed deliveries. Additionally, if we are consistently unable to fulfill our backlog, this may be a disincentive to customers to award large contracts to us in the future until they are comfortable that we can effectively manage our backlog.

Future general political and economic conditions, which cannot be accurately predicted, may directly and indirectly affect the quantity and allocation of expenditures by federal agencies. Even the timing of incremental funding commitments to existing, but partially funded, contracts can be affected by these factors. Therefore, cutbacks or re-allocations in the federal budget could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations. Obtaining government contracts may also involve long purchase and payment cycles, competitive bidding, qualification requirements, delays or changes in funding, budgetary constraints, political agendas, extensive specification development, price negotiations and milestone requirements. In addition, our government contracts are primarily fixed price contracts, which may prevent us from recovering costs incurred in excess of budgeted costs. Fixed price contracts require us to estimate the total project cost based on preliminary projections of the project’s requirements. The financial viability of any given project depends in large part on our ability to estimate such costs accurately and complete the project on a timely basis. Some of those contracts are for products that are new to our business and are thus subject to unanticipated impacts to manufacturing costs. Given the current economic conditions, it is also possible that even if our estimates are reasonable at the time made, that prices of materials are subject to unanticipated adverse fluctuation. In the event our actual costs exceed fixed contractual costs of our product contracts, we will not be able to recover the excess costs which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. We examine these contracts on a regular basis and accrue for anticipated losses on these contracts, if necessary. As of September 27, 2009, we had approximately $1.3 million of loss provision accrued for these fixed price contracts.

Approximately 95% of our contracts contain contract termination clauses for convenience. In the event these clauses should be invoked by our customer, future revenues against these contracts could be affected, however these clauses allow for a full recovery of any incurred contract cost plus a reasonable fee up through and as a result of the contract termination. We are currently unaware of any pending terminations on our existing contracts. In some cases, contract awards may be issued that are subject to renegotiation at a date (up to 180 days) subsequent to the initial award date. Generally, these subsequent negotiations have had an immaterial impact (zero to 5%) on the contract price of the affected contracts. Currently, none of our awarded contracts are subject to renegotiation.

Our past growth has placed, and any future growth in our historical business is expected to continue to place, a significant strain on our management personnel, infrastructure and resources. To implement our current business and product plans, we will need to continue to expand, train, manage and motivate our workforce, and expand our operational and financial systems, as well as our manufacturing and service capabilities. All of these endeavors will require substantial management effort and additional capital. If we are unable to effectively manage our expanding operations, we may be unable to scale our business quickly enough to meet competitive challenges or exploit potential market opportunities, and our current or future business could be materially and adversely affected.

We depend to a large extent on the abilities and continued participation of our executive officers and other key employees. The loss of any key employee could have a material adverse effect on our business. We currently have only one employment agreement, with our Principal Operating Officer, and do not presently maintain “key man” insurance on any key employees. We believe that as our activities increase and change in character, additional, experienced personnel will be required to implement our business plan. Competition for such personnel is intense and we cannot assure you that they will be available when required, or that we will have the ability to attract and retain them. In addition, we do not presently have depth of staffing in our executive, operational and financial management. Until additional key personnel can be successfully integrated into our operations, the timing or success of which we cannot currently predict, our results of operations and ultimate success will be vulnerable to challenges associated with recruiting additional key personnel and difficulties associated with the loss of any key personnel in the future.

Goodwill represents the cost of acquired businesses in excess of fair value of the related net assets at acquisition. Valuation of intangible assets, such as goodwill, requires us to make significant estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to, estimating future cash flows from product sales, developing appropriate discount rates, maintaining customer relationships and renewing customer contracts, and approximating the useful lives of the intangible assets acquired. To the extent actual results differ from these estimates, our intangible assets or goodwill may suffer impairment in the future that will impact our results of operations. We reviewed the fair market value of our goodwill and intangible assets as of September 28, 2008, based on the fair market values established in connection with the acquisition by Optex Systems, Inc. (Delaware) of the assets of Optex Systems, Inc. (Texas) as of October 14, 2008, and as a result, determined that the current carrying value of goodwill had been impaired by $1.6 million. Goodwill was reviewed for impairment as of September 27, 2009 and based on the review, there have been no material changes to our assumptions or estimates that would suggest any further impairment is currently warranted. We intend to continue to monitor the value of our intangible assets and goodwill in order to identify any impairment that may occur in the future.

Optex Systems Holdings has selectively single-sourced some of our material components in order to mitigate excess procurement costs associated with significant tooling and startup costs. Furthermore, because of the nature of government contracts, we are often required to purchase selected items from Government approved suppliers, which may further limit our ability to utilize multiple supply sources for these key components.

To the extent any of these single sourced or government approved suppliers should have disruptions in deliveries due to production, quality, or other issues, Optex Systems Holdings may also experience related production delays or unfavorable cost increases associated with retooling and qualifying alternate suppliers. The impact of delays resulting from disruptions in supply for these items could negatively impact our revenue, our customer reputation, and our results of operations. In addition, significant price increases from single-source suppliers could have a negative impact on our profitability to the extent that we are unable to recover these cost increases on our fixed price contracts.

Each contract has a specific quantity of material which needs to be purchased, assembled, and finally shipped. Prior to bidding a contract, Optex Systems Holdings contacts potential sources of material and receives qualified quotations for this material. In some cases, the entire volume is given to a single supplier and in other cases, the volume might be split between several suppliers. If a contract has a single source supplier and that supplier fails to meet their obligations (e.g., quality, delivery), then Optex Systems Holdings would find an alternate supplier and bring this information back to the final customer. Contractual deliverables would then be re-negotiated (e.g., specifications, delivery, price). Currently, approximately 28% of our total material requirements are single-sourced across 21 suppliers representing approximately 20% of our active supplier base. Single-sourced component requirements span across all of our major product lines. The vast majority of these single-sourced components could be provided by another supplier with minimal interruption in schedule (supply delay of 3 months or less) or increased costs. We do not believe these single sourced materials to pose any significant risk to Optex Systems Holdings as other suppliers are capable of satisfying the purchase requirements in a reasonable time period with minimal increases in cost. Of these single sourced components, we have contracts (purchase orders) with firm pricing and delivery schedules in place with each of the suppliers to supply parts in satisfaction of our current contractual needs.

The market for our products is generally characterized by technological developments, evolving industry standards, changes in customer requirements, frequent new product introductions and enhancements, short product life cycles and severe price competition. Our competitors could also develop new, more advanced technologies in reaction to our products. Currently accepted industry standards may change. Our success depends substantially on our ability, on a cost-effective and timely basis, to continue to enhance our existing products and to develop and introduce new products that take advantage of technological advances and adhere to evolving industry standards. An unexpected change in one or more of the technologies related to our products, in market demand for products based on a particular technology or of accepted industry standards could materially and adversely affect our business. We may or may not be able to develop new products in a timely and satisfactory manner to address new industry standards and technological changes, or to respond to new product announcements by others. In addition, new products may or may not achieve market acceptance.

The possibility of future product failures could cause us to incur substantial expense to repair or replace defective products. Some of our customers require that we warrant the quality of our products to meet customer requirements and be free of defects for up to fifteen months subsequent to delivery. Approximately 50% of our current contract deliveries are covered by these warranty clauses. We establish reserves for warranty claims based on our historical rate of less than one percent of returned shipments against these contracts. There can be no assurance that this reserve will be sufficient if we were to experience an unexpectedly high incidence of problems with our products. Significant increases in the incidence of such claims may adversely affect our sales and our reputation with consumers. Costs associated with warranty and product liability claims could materially affect our financial condition and results of operations.

At present, we derive approximately 93% of the gross revenue from our business from two customers, with 46% from General Dynamics Land System Division and 47% from Tank-automotive and Armaments Command. Procuring new customers and contracts may partially mitigate this risk. A decision by either General Dynamics Land System Division or Tank-automotive and Armaments Command to cease issuing contracts could have a significant material impact on our business and results of operations. There can be no assurance that we could replace these customers on a timely basis or at all.

We utilize several highly specialized and unique processes in the manufacture of our products, for which we rely solely on trade secrets to protect our innovations. We cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain the confidentiality of our trade secrets or that our non-disclosure agreements will provide meaningful protection of our trade secrets, know-how or other proprietary information in the event of any unauthorized use, misappropriation or other disclosure. The confidentiality agreements that are designed to protect our trade secrets could be breached, and we might not have adequate remedies for the breach.

It is also possible that our trade secrets will otherwise become known or independently developed by our competitors, many of which have substantially greater resources, and may have applied for or obtained, or may in the future apply for and obtain, patents that will prevent, limit or interfere with our ability to make and sell some of our products. Although based upon our general knowledge (and we have not conducted exhaustive patent searches), we believe that our products do not infringe on the patents or other proprietary rights of third parties; however, we cannot assure you that third parties will not assert infringement claims against us or that such claims will not be successful.

At some time in the future, we may decide to pursue a consolidation strategy with other businesses in our industry. In order to successfully acquire other businesses, we would be forced to spend significant resources in both acquisition and transactional costs, which could divert substantial resources in terms of both financial and personnel capital from our current operations. Additionally, we might assume liabilities of the acquired business, and the repayment of those liabilities could have a material adverse impact on our cash flow. Furthermore, when a new business is integrated into our ongoing business, it is possible that there would be a period of integration and adjustment required which could divert resources from ongoing business operations.

As of September 27, 2009, we had 139,444,940 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding, as well as 1,027 shares of our Series A preferred stock issued and outstanding. The Series A preferred stock is convertible into 41,080,000 shares of our common stock, and upon conversion, the Series A preferred stock would represent 21.7% of our outstanding common stock. This would greatly dilute the holdings of our existing common stockholders. In addition, the preferred shareholders vote on a one-to-one basis with our common shareholders on an as converted basis.

Furthermore, in the event of a liquidation, the holders of our Series A preferred stock would receive priority liquidation payments before payments to common shareholders equal to the amount of the stated value of the preferred stock before any distributions would be made to our common shareholders. The total stated value of our preferred stock is $6,162,000, so the preferred shareholders would need to receive that amount before any distributions could be made to common shareholders. Our assets with liquidation value are exceeded by our liabilities on our balance sheet; therefore, upon a liquidation, there would be no assets remaining for distribution to common shareholders.

Lastly, the preferred shareholders have the right, by majority vote of the shares of preferred stock, to generally approve any issuances by us of equity and/or indebtedness, which is not ordinary course trade indebtedness. Therefore, the preferred shareholders can effectively bar us from entering into a transaction which they feel is not in their best interests even if the transaction would otherwise be in the best interests of Optex Systems Holdings and its common shareholders.

As a result of the reorganization, Sileas, which is owned by Optex Systems Holdings’ three officers (one of whom is also one of Optex Systems Holdings’ three directors), beneficially owns, in the aggregate, 73.52% of Optex Systems Holdings’ outstanding common stock. One director who is also an executive officer, Stanley Hirschman, owns the majority equity interest in Sileas. The interests of Optex Systems Holdings’ management may differ from the interests of other stockholders. As Optex Systems Holdings’ executive management has the right and ability to control virtually all corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, irrespective of how Optex Systems Holdings’ other stockholders may vote, including the following actions:

On February 20, 2009, Sileas purchased 100% of the equity and debt interest held by Longview, representing 90% of Optex Systems, Inc. (Delaware), in a private transaction. The purchase price for the acquisition of Longview’s position was $13,524,405, and the consideration was paid in the form of a promissory note. The obligations of Sileas under the promissory note are secured by a security interest in Optex Systems Holdings’ common and preferred stock owned by Sileas. As Sileas has no operations or business activities other than holding the purchased assets, Sileas is depending upon the value of its common stock and preferred stock holdings in Optex Systems Holdings to increase over time in order to pay its obligations under the promissory note. If the value of the holdings does not sufficiently increase, and Sileas is unable to meet its payment obligations, Longview could exercise its remedies with respect to its security interest and take control of the pledged stock, and thus there would be a change in control of Optex Systems Holdings, as Sileas is currently the majority owner of Optex Systems Holdings. There can be no guarantee that the investment objectives of Longview will be the same as those of Sileas or our other shareholders. In the event that control shifts to Longview from Sileas, Longview may vote its shares differently than Sileas would have voted under similar circumstances.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and new rules subsequently implemented by the SEC have required changes in corporate governance practices of public companies. As a public entity, Optex Systems Holdings expects these new rules and regulations to increase compliance costs in 2010 and beyond and to make certain activities more time consuming and costly. As a public entity, Optex Systems Holdings also expects that these new rules and regulations may make it more difficult and expensive for Optex Systems Holdings to obtain director and officer liability insurance in the future and it may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for Optex Systems Holdings to attract and retain qualified persons to serve as directors or as executive officers.

Section 228(e) of the Delaware General Corporation Law requires "[p]rompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders . . . who have not consented in writing.” Prior management of Sustut did not give notice to the other then existing shareholders of Sustut of the written consent of Andrey Oks in lieu of a meeting of stockholders approving the reorganization on March 26, 2009 in compliance with Section 228(e). On April 3, 2009, current management filed a Form 8-K which detailed the transaction although it did not specifically mention approval of the transaction by Andrey Oks as the majority shareholder of Sustut. Potential ramifications of this lack of compliance with Section 228(e) could include possible inquiry or litigation from then existing shareholders of Sustut for failure of being made aware of the consent. To the knowledge of current management of Optex Systems Holdings, there have been no claims or inquiries made and/or any litigation filed by then current shareholders of Sustut for failure to receive notice under Section 228(e) of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

Our common stock is currently approved for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board trading under the symbol OPXS.OB. However, there is limited trading activity and not currently a liquid trading market. There is no assurance as to when or whether a liquid trading market will develop, and if such a market does develop, there is no assurance that it will be maintained. Furthermore, for companies whose securities are quoted on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board maintained by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., it is more difficult (1) to obtain accurate quotations, (2) to obtain coverage for significant news events because major wire services generally do not publish press releases about such companies, and (3) to raise needed capital. As a result, purchasers of Optex Systems Holdings’ common stock may have difficulty selling their shares in the public market, and the market price may be subject to significant volatility.

Under Rule 144(i)(2), Optex Systems Holdings’ stockholders can avail themselves of Rule 144 and commence selling significant amounts of shares into the market one year after the filing of “Form 10” information with the SEC as long as the other requirements of Rule 144(i)(2) are met. While affiliates would be subject to volume limitations under Rule 144(e), which is one percent of the shares outstanding as shown by our then most recent report or statement published, nonaffiliates would then be able to sell their stock without volume limitations. If Optex Systems Holdings’ current stockholders seek to sell substantial amounts of common stock in the public market either upon expiration of any required holding period under Rule 144 or pursuant to an effective registration statement, it could create a circumstance commonly referred to as “overhang,” in anticipation of which the market price of Optex Systems Holdings’ common stock could decrease substantially. The existence of an overhang, whether or not sales have occurred or are occurring, could also make it more difficult for Optex Systems Holdings to raise additional financing in the future through sale of securities at a time and price that Optex Systems Holdings deems acceptable.

The date on which current shareholders can sell a substantial amount of shares into the public market would be the earlier of the date on which the registration statement is effective and one year anniversary of the date on which all Form 10 information is deemed by the SEC to be filed (September 28, 2009), which would then allow sales under Rule 144. The amount of shares then available would be 11,784,177 shares (all of those being registered for resale under the prospectus) and 8,131,667 shares (under Rule 144, which are the remaining shares of common stock underlying warrants purchased in the private placement which took place just prior to the reorganization) respectively.

Optex Systems Holdings’ certificate of incorporation does not contain any specific provisions that eliminate the liability of directors for monetary damages to Optex Systems Holdings and Optex Systems Holdings’ stockholders; however, Optex Systems Holdings provides such indemnification to its directors and officers to the extent provided by Delaware law. Optex Systems Holdings may also have contractual indemnification obligations under its employment agreements with its executive officers. The foregoing indemnification obligations could result in Optex Systems Holdings incurring substantial expenditures to cover the cost of settlement or damage awards against directors and officers, which Optex Systems Holdings may be unable to recoup. These provisions and resultant costs may also discourage Optex Systems Holdings from bringing a lawsuit against directors and officers for breaches of their fiduciary duties and may similarly discourage the filing of derivative litigation by Optex Systems Holdings’ stockholders against Optex Systems Holdings’ directors and officers even though such actions, if successful, might otherwise benefit Optex Systems Holdings and its stockholders.

On March 26, 2009, our shareholders and directors authorized us to file an Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation with the State of Delaware (the “Amendment”) in order to: (i) change our name to Optex Systems Holdings, Inc.; (ii) designate 5,000 shares of preferred stock; (iii) provide further explanation of the powers of the directors and stockholders of the corporation; and (iv) certain other provisions.

Immediately prior to the closing under the reorganization agreement, Optex Systems, Inc. (Delaware) accepted subscriptions from accredited investors for a total 27.1 units, for $45,000 per unit, with each unit consisting of 300,000 shares of common stock, no par value, of Optex Systems, Inc. (Delaware) and warrants to purchase 300,000 shares of common stock for $0.45 per share for a period of five (5) years from the initial closing, which were issued by Optex Systems, Inc. (Delaware) after the closing referenced above. Gross proceeds to Optex Systems, Inc. (Delaware) were $1,219,750, and after deducting (i) a cash finder’s fee of $139,555, (ii) non-cash consideration of indebtedness owed to an investor of $146,250, and (iii) stock issuance costs of $59,416, the net proceeds were $874,529. The finder also received five year warrants to purchase 2.39 units, at an exercise price of $49,500 per unit. As described above, these 8,131,667 shares were exchanged for 8,131,667 shares of Optex Systems Holdings common stock in the reorganization.

Neither the Company nor Optex had any options or warrants to purchase shares of capital stock outstanding immediately prior to or following the Reorganization, except for 8,941,667 warrants issued in the Private Placement. Immediately prior to the closing, Registrant adopted the 2009 Stock Option Plan providing for the issuance of up to 6,000,000 shares for the purpose of having shares available for the granting of options to Company officers, directors, employees and to independent contractors who provide services to the Company.

The shares of the Company’s common stock issued in connection with the Reorganization and the private placement offering were not registered under the Securities Act. All shares issued in connection with the Reorganization were issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Regulation D under the Securities Act, which exempts transactions to certain accredited. The shares issued in connection with the private placement offering were issued in part in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Regulation D under the Securities Act and in part in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) under the Securities Act for transactions not involving any public offering. All such securities constitute “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. Certificates representing these shares contain a restrictive legend stating the same.
