NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Inrad Optics, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”).  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  The results of operations of any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full fiscal year.  For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

In preparing these consolidated financial statements, the Company has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued.

Management Estimates

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses reported in those financial statements. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment, and makes adjustments when facts and circumstances dictate.  As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from those estimates and assumptions.  Significant changes, if any, in those estimates resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment will be reflected in the consolidated financial statements in future periods.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in-first-out basis) or market. The Company records a reserve for slow moving inventory as a charge against earnings for all products identified as surplus, slow-moving or discontinued. Excess work-in-process costs are charged against earnings whenever estimated costs-of-completion exceed unbilled revenues.

Inventories are comprised of the following and are shown net of inventory reserves, in thousands:

Income Taxes

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statements carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 the Company did not record a current provision for either state or federal income tax due to the losses incurred for both income tax and financial reporting purposes or the availability of net operating loss carry-forwards to offset against federal and state income tax.

In evaluating the Company’s ability to recover deferred tax assets in future periods, management considers the available positive and negative factors, including the Company’s recent operating results, the existence of cumulative losses and near term forecasts of future taxable income consistent with the plans and estimates that management uses to manage the underlying business. A significant piece of objective negative evidence evaluated was the cumulative loss incurred by the Company over the three-year period ended December 31, 2014. Such objective evidence limits the ability to consider other subjective evidence such as our projections for future growth.

On the basis of this evaluation as of June 30, 2015, the Company’s management concluded that it is more likely than not that the Company will not be able to realize any portion of the benefit on the net deferred tax balance of $4,685,000 and therefore the Company continues to maintain a valuation allowance for the full amount of the net deferred tax balance.

When sufficient positive evidence exists, the Company’s income tax expense will be charged with the increase or decrease in its valuation allowance. An increase or reversal of the Company’s valuation allowance could have a significant negative or positive impact on the Company’s future earnings.

Net (Loss) Income per Common Share

Basic net (loss) income per common share is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net (loss) income per common share is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of common shares and common stock equivalents outstanding, calculated on the treasury stock method for options, stock grants and warrants using the average market prices during the period, including potential common shares issuable upon conversion of outstanding convertible notes, except if the effect on the per share amounts is anti-dilutive.

For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2015, all common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because their effect is anti-dilutive. This included 2,500,000 common shares and 1,875,000 warrants issuable upon conversion of outstanding related party convertible notes in each respective period, in addition to 829,710 common stock options and grants, in each respective period.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, all common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because their effect is anti-dilutive. This included 2,500,000 common shares and 1,875,000 warrants issuable upon conversion of outstanding related party convertible notes in each respective period, in addition to 923,651 common stock options and grants, in each respective period.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation expense is estimated at the grant date based on the fair value of the award. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of restricted stock units granted is based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant. The fair value of these awards, adjusted for estimated forfeitures, is amortized over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the vesting period.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) (“ASU 2015-03”). ASU 2015-03 was issued to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs. The guidance requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by these amendments. This guidance should be applied on a retrospective basis, wherein the balance sheet of each individual period presented should be adjusted to reflect the period-specific effects of applying the new guidance. The guidance will be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The adoption of this amendment is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-01, Income Statement – Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20) (“ASU 2015-01”). ASU 2015-01 changed the requirements for reporting extraordinary and unusual items in the income statement. The update eliminates the concept of extraordinary items. The presentation and disclosure guidance for items that are unusual in nature or occur infrequently will be retained and will be expanded to include items that are both unusual in nature and infrequently occurring. A reporting entity may apply the amendments prospectively or retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements. The guidance will be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted provided that the guidance is applied from the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The adoption of this newly issued guidance is not expected to have an impact to our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued authoritative accounting guidance related to management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. Management’s evaluation should be based on relevant conditions and events that are known and reasonably knowable at the date that the financial statements are issued. In doing so, the amendments should reduce diversity in the timing and content of footnote disclosures. This guidance is effective for public and non-public entities for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the expected impact, if any, that this Accounting Standards Update will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) which supersedes virtually all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The update's core principle is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 (including interim periods within those periods). Early adoption is permitted to the original effective date of December 15, 2016, (including interim periods within those periods). The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements and further discussed in our annual financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. In preparing our condensed consolidated financial statements, we made estimates and judgments that affect the results of our operations and the value of assets and liabilities we report. These include estimates used in evaluating intangibles for impairment such as market multiples used in determining the fair value of reporting units, discount rates applicable in determining net present values of future cash flows, projections of future sales, earnings and cash flow and capital expenditures. It also includes estimates about the amount and timing of future taxable income in determining the Company’s valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

For additional information regarding our critical accounting policies and estimates, see the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our annual report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Revenue

Sales for the three months ended June 30, 2015 increased 24.1% to $2,765,000 from $2,228,000 for the comparable three months last year. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, sales were $5,296,000, an increase of 28.2%, compared to $4,132,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014. By business category, sales of Optical Components increased by 35.9% while sales of Laser Devices/Instrumentation products increased by 26.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared with the prior year.

Sales to customers in the process control and metrology market increased by 82.8% and 39.8% for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the same periods last year and was mainly attributable to increased shipments to established customers, in addition to significant growth in new accounts.

Sales to customers in the defense market decreased by 8.2% from the second quarter of 2015 but were up by 52.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The year-to-date increase was primarily due to increased order levels from two large defense contractors offset by a decline in shipments to another large defense contractor in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the respective periods in 2014.

Sales in the laser systems and related products market decreased by 33.4% for the second quarter of 2015 vs the second quarter of 2014. Sales to for the six months ended June 30, 2015 decreased 6.5% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Although the university and national lab market is the company’s smallest market it had a sales increase of 1.4% and 43.6% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the same periods last year.

In the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company had one major customer representing more than 10% of total sales compared with two major customers in the six months ended June 30, 2014.

The Company’s top five customers represented 43.3% of total sales in the six month period ended June 30, 2015, compared to 46.7% in the same period in 2014. However, sales for the top five customers group were up 20.4% from the comparable period last year.

Orders booked during the first six months of 2015 were $5.1 million compared to $5.4 million in the comparable period last year.

Order backlog increased to $6.3 million at June 30, 2015, compared to $5.6 million at June 30, 2014.

Cost of Goods Sold

For the three months ended June 30, 2015, cost of goods sold was $2,231,000 compared to $2,369,000 in the same quarter in 2014, a decrease of $138,000 or 5.8%. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, cost of goods sold were $4,070,000, down by $340,000 or 7.7% compared to $4,409,000 in the same period in 2014.

Cost of goods sold in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 include $62,000 and $121,000, respectively, of restructuring costs related to the relocation of the Florida operations as discussed in Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

For the three months ended June 30, 2015, manufacturing salaries and wages and related fringe benefits were relatively unchanged from the three months ended June 30, 2014 despite the increased sales volume in 2015. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, manufacturing salaries and wages and related fringe benefits decreased by 3.3% or approximately $77,000 from the six months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease in 2015 primarily reflects cost savings resulting from the Company’s consolidation of the Florida operations in the Northvale facility which was completed in March of 2014.

Excluding one-time restructuring costs in 2014, manufacturing expenses decreased by approximately 31.6% and 35% in the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015 versus the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. The reduction was mainly due to cost savings from the consolidation of the Company’s Florida operations, as noted above.

Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was $534,000 or 19.3% of sales compared to $(141,000) or (6.3) % in the same quarter last year. Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were $1,226,000 or 23.1% and $(227,000) or (6.7%) of sales, respectively.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A” expenses) in the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 amounted to $700,000 or 25.3% of sales and 1,330,000 or 25.1% of sales, respectively. This compared to $845,000 or 37.9% of sales and $1,604,000 or 38.8% of sales, respectively, for the same periods in 2014.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 SG&A salary, wages and fringe benefits decreased by approximately $118,000 and $223,000, respectively, reflecting lower head count levels compared to the same periods in 2014 and partially reflects planned reductions from the consolidation of the Florida facility in Northvale in 2014.

Other SG&A expenses were unchanged for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.

Loss from Operations

The Company had a loss from operations of $166,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared with an operating loss of $986,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2014. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company had an operating loss of $104,000 compared with an operating loss of $1,881,000 in the same period last year. The decrease in the operating loss for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the same period last year primarily reflects the significant increase in sales revenue, the more profitable product mix, and the impact of cost reductions from the consolidation of the Company’s operations into the Northvale facility, as compared to the same period last year. The operating losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 include $62,000 and $121,000, respectively, of restructuring costs related to the relocation and consolidation of the Florida operations into the Northvale facility.

Other Income and Expense

Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was $45,000 compared to $45,000 in the same period in 2014. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $89,000 compared to $90,000 in the same period in 2014.

In the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company sold surplus machinery and recorded a gain of $65,000.

Income Taxes

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statements carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company did not record a current provision for either state or federal income tax due to the losses incurred for both income tax and financial reporting purposes or the availability of net operating loss carry-forwards to offset against federal and state income tax.

In evaluating the Company’s ability to recover deferred tax assets in future periods, management considers the available positive and negative factors, including the Company’s recent operating results, the existence of cumulative losses and near term forecasts of future taxable income consistent with the plans and estimates that management uses to manage the underlying business. A significant piece of objective negative evidence evaluated was the cumulative loss incurred by the Company over the three-year period ended December 31, 2014. Such objective evidence limits the ability to consider other subjective evidence such as our projections for future growth.

As a result, the Company’s management concluded that it is more likely than not that the Company will not be able to realize any portion of the benefit on the net deferred tax balance of $4,685,000 and therefore the Company maintains a valuation allowance for the full amount of the net deferred tax balance.

Net Income (Loss)

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company had a net loss of $211,000 and $193,000, respectively, compared to a net loss of $1,031,000 and $1,906,000, respectively, for the same periods in 2014 reflecting higher sales, lower expenses and improved margins due to a more profitable product mix.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s primary source of liquidity is cash and cash equivalents and on-going collection of accounts receivable. The Company’s major use of cash in the past two years has been for financing of operations, capital expenditures mainly related to the consolidation of the Florida facility, and repayment and servicing of outstanding debt.

As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $771,000 and $1,003,000, respectively.

On July 26, 2012, the Company entered into a term loan agreement with Valley National Bank, Wayne, NJ, in the amount of $750,000. The loan is secured with a security interest in equipment acquired by the Company in the amount of $825,000 which enhances the Company’s thin film coating capabilities. The loan is repayable in equal monthly installments over five years beginning in August 2012 and bears an annual interest rate of 4.35%.

On July 29, 2014, the maturity dates of a $1,500,000 Subordinated Convertible Promissory Note to Clarex Limited (“Clarex”) and a $1,000,000 Subordinated Convertible Promissory Note to an affiliate of Clarex were each extended to April 1, 2017 from April 1, 2015. The notes bear interest at 6%. Interest accrues yearly and is payable on maturity. Unpaid interest, along with principal, may be converted into securities of the Company as follows: the notes are convertible in the aggregate into 1,500,000 units and 1,000,000 units, respectively, with each unit consisting of one share of common stock and one warrant.

Capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were $27,000 and $363,000, respectively.
