Note 1 - Organization and Operations

 

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

 

Optex Systems Holdings’ operations are based in Dallas and Richardson, Texas in leased facilities comprising approximately 93,733 square feet. As of December 28, 2014, Optex Systems Holdings operated with 80 full-time equivalent employees.

 

Optex Systems Holdings manufactures optical sighting systems and assemblies, primarily for Department of Defense and foreign military 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. On November 3, 2014, Optex Systems, Inc. purchased the assets comprising the Applied Optics Products Line of L-3 Communications, Inc. (“L-3”), a thin film coating manufacturer for lenses used primarily in the defense industry.

 

Optex Systems Holdings is an ISO 9001:2008 certified company.

 

During the three-months ended December 28, 2014, the Company has experienced a net loss and a 35% decrease in revenues as compared to the three-months ended December 29, 2013.  U.S. military spending has been significantly reduced as a result of the Congressional sequestration cuts to defense spending, which began in fiscal year 2013. As a result of lower U.S. government spending, we have continued to explore other opportunities for manufacturing outside of our traditional product lines for products which could be manufactured using our existing lines in order to fully utilize our existing capacity. Given the sizable reduction in backlog from 2014 levels, we do not anticipate being able to fully offset the reduced government spending with alternative business in the current fiscal year or in the next twelve months.

 

The Company has historically funded its operations through operations, convertible notes, preferred stock offerings and bank debt.  The Company's ability to generate positive cash flows depends on a variety of factors, including the continued development and successful marketing of the Company's products. At December 31, 2014, the Company had approximately $1.4 million in cash and access to a $1.0 million working line of credit.  The Company expects to continue to incur net losses for at least the next year.  Successful transition to attaining profitable operations is dependent upon achieving a level of revenue adequate to support the Company’s cost structure.  Management of the Company expects to be successful in maintaining sufficient working capital and will manage operations commensurate with its level of working capital through during the next twelve months.  In the event the Company does not successfully implement its ultimate business plan, certain assets may not be recoverable.
