NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Photonic Products Group, 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 Rule 10-01 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, 2010.

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 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:

	June 30, 2011		December 31, 2010
	(in thousands)
Raw materials	$	1,097	$	1,103
Work in process, including manufactured parts and components		876		806
Finished goods		674		482
	$	2,647	$	2,391

Income Taxes

The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax liabilities and assets 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 months and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company did not record a current provision for either state of federal income taxes due to the losses incurred for both income tax and financial reporting purposes.

As of June 30, 2011, the Company has recognized a net deferred tax asset balance in the amount of $408,000 which is the portion of the total net deferred tax balance of $2,716,000 that the Company’s management is reasonably assured will be fully utilized in future periods. 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. The Company’s valuation allowance of $2,308,000 as of June 30, 2011 will be maintained until management concludes that it is more likely than not that the remaining deferred tax assets will be realized. When sufficient positive evidence exists, the Company’s income tax expense will be reduced by the 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 Income (Loss) per Common Share

Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) 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, 2011 and 2010, the potential dilutive effect of all common stock equivalent shares outstanding have been excluded from the diluted computation because their effect is anti-dilutive. A total of 979,000 common stock options and grants, 1,875,000 warrants and 2,500,000 common shares issuable upon conversion of outstanding convertible notes were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per common share for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011. For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2010, 875,000 common stock options and grants, 1,875,000 warrants and 2,500,000 common shares issuable upon conversion of outstanding convertible notes were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per common share.

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 May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).” This pronouncement was issued to provide a consistent definition of fair value and ensure that the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are similar between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 changes certain fair value measurement principles and enhances the disclosure requirements particularly for Level 3 fair value measurements. This pronouncement is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011, with early adoption prohibited. The new guidance will require prospective application. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the provisions of this pronouncement will have on its financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income” which was issued to enhance comparability between entities that report under U.S. GAAP and IFRS, and to provide a more consistent method of presenting non-owner transactions that affect an entity’s equity. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity and requires an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement or in two separate but consecutive statements. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption of the new guidance is permitted and full retrospective application is required. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the provisions of this pronouncement will have on its financial statements.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Caution Regarding Forward Looking Statements

The words “may”, “will”, “expect”, “believe”, “anticipate”, “project”, “plan”, “intend”, “estimate”, and “continue”, and their opposites and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The Company cautions you that these statements are not guarantees of future performance or events and are subject to a number of uncertainties, risks, and other influences, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, that may influence the accuracy of the statements and the projections upon which the statements are based. Factors which may affect the Company’s results include, but are not limited to, the risks and uncertainties discussed in Items 1A, 7 and 7A of the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2011. Any one or more of these uncertainties, risks, and other influences could materially affect the Company’s results of operations and whether forward-looking statements made by the Company ultimately prove to be accurate. Readers are further cautioned that the Company’s financial results can vary from quarter to quarter, and the financial results for any period may not necessarily be indicative of future results. The foregoing is not intended to be an exhaustive list of all factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements made by the Company. The Company’s actual results, performance and achievements could differ materially from those expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward looking statements, whether from new information, future events, or otherwise.

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, 2010. 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 goodwill and 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, 2010.

Revenue

Sales for the three months ended June 30, 2011 were $3,221,000, an increase of 48.8% compared with $2,164,000 in the second quarter of 2010. Sales for the six months ended June 30, 2011 were $6,463,000, an increase of 30% compared with $4,973,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. This was mainly due to an increase in orders from both new customers and from existing customers in the commercial markets we serve. Sales of optical components increased 34.0% and 55.2%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and the quarter ended June 2011 compared with the prior year and sales of laser systems increased 19.8% and 34.3% over the same periods. Sales to the defense market were down 7.5% for the first six months of 2011 compared to the same periods in 2010.

Sales to major customers who represent more than 10% of period sales, increased as a percentage of total sales to 48.9% in the first six months of 2011 from 42.5% in the same period in 2010. In addition, sales to major customers increased to 51.6% in the second quarter of 2011 from 17.8% in the second quarter of 2010.

The Company’s top five customers represented 58.8% of total sales in the six month period ended June 30, 2011, up slightly from 58.1% in the same period last year. Although the percentage of top five customer sales did not increase significantly, one large commercial account was added to the top five customer ranks in the current period, replacing a defense customer in the comparable period last year.

Orders for the first six months of 2011 increased to $6.2 million compared to $4.2 million in the first six months of 2010, up 32.3%.

Order backlog increased to $5.1 million at June 30, 2011compared to a backlog of $3.6 million at June 30, 2010.

Cost of Goods Sold

For the three months ended June 30, 2011, cost of goods sold decreased as a percent of sales to 75.7% from 88.2% in 2010. For the six months ended June 30, 2011 cost of goods sold decreased to 74.4% as a percentage of sales from 84.0% in the same period in 2010.

In dollar terms, cost of goods sold was $2,437,000 compared to $1,909,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, up $528,000 or 27.7%. For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, cost of goods sold was $4,806,000, and $4,176,000, respectively, an increase of $630,000 or 15.1%. The increases were attributable to higher sales in each of the comparable periods in the prior year.

In the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011, manufacturing wages and salaries and related fringe benefits increased by 12.4% and 8.3%, respectively, principally due to an increase in direct labor to meet the increased demand and an increase in fringe benefits costs compared with the same periods in 2010. As a percentage of sales, these manufacturing labor costs decreased both in the in second quarter and the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared with the same period last year.

Material costs increased in both the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared with the same period in 2010 in dollar terms and as a percentage of sales due to a shift in the product mix to sales with a higher material cost in 2011, compared to 2010.

Overall, gross margin in the second quarter of 2011 was $784,000 or 24.3% of sales, up compared with $256,000 or 11.8% of sales in the second quarter of 2010 and for the six months ended June 30, 2011, gross margin also increased to $1.7 million or 25.6% of sales compared with $796,000 or 16.0% in the same period of 2010, reflecting the factors discussed and the impact of higher sales levels during the periods on the Company’s relatively fixed cost structure.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A” expenses) in the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 were $848,000 or 26.3% of sales and $1,657,000 or 25.6% or sales, respectively, compared to $870,000 or 40.2% of sales and $1,650,000 or 33.2% of sales, respectively, for the same periods in 2010.

Overall, the major categories of SG&A expenses have remained relatively unchanged both on a year-to-date and quarter over quarter basis as the Company has continued to tightly manage discretionary spending.

Net Loss

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company had a net loss of $61,000 which compared favorably with a net loss of $923,000 for the same period in 2010. The Company had net loss of $96,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared with a net loss of $649,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The improvement in 2011 was attributable to the positive effect of the 30.0% and 48.8% increases in sales volumes for the six months and second quarter, respectively, and improvements in gross profit margins, as discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s primary source of cash has been from operating cash flows. Other sources of cash include proceeds received from the exercise of stock options and warrants in return for the issuance of common stock. The Company’s major use of cash in the past two years has been for repayment and servicing of outstanding debt and for capital expenditures. Based upon the current level of operations we believe our existing cash resources, as well as cash flows from future operating activities, will be adequate to meet our anticipated requirements for working capital, principal and interest payments on outstanding debt, capital expenditures and other operating needs over next twelve months.

The following table summarizes net cash provided by (used in) operating, investing and financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010:

		Six Months Ended June 30,
		2011			2010
		(In thousands)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	53		$	455
Net cash (used in) investing activities		(150	)		(65)
Net cash provided by financing activities		14			4
Net (decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	(83	)	$	394

Net cash provided by operating activities was $53,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $455,000 in the same period last year. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities compared to the corresponding period last year resulted primarily from an increase in working capital requirements necessary to support the Company’s current level of business activity. In particular, inventory levels increased by $256,000 to $2,647,000 at June 30, 2011 compared to a decrease of $136,000 in the six month period ended June 30, 2010. The increase in inventory is primarily attributable to an increase in demand and timing of deliveries for orders in the current period. In addition, the Company paid accrued interest of $600,000 and an additional $75,000 in current interest on convertible notes payable. At a minimum, the Company expects to make a payment of $37,500 each quarter over the balance of 2011 and through the maturity date of the notes to satisfy the amounts of future interest accruing in each quarter.

Capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2011 were $51,000 and $65,000 in the comparable period last year. Management continued its review of planned capital expenditures to identify and defer expenditures, where practical, to minimize the impact on the Company’s cash flows over the balance of the year.

In the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company purchased specialized tools fabricated from precious metals in the amount of $105,000.

Net cash provided by financing activities during the first six months ending June 30, 2011 totaled $14,000 compared to $4,000 provided in the comparable period in 2010. This consisted primarily of proceeds from the exercise of stock options for $19,000 in 2011 and $9,000 in 2010, offset by principal payments on long term notes of $5,000 in each period, respectively.

Overall, the Company had a net decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $83,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared with an increase of $394,000 in the corresponding period last year.

Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2011 were $4,282,000. At December 31, 2010, the Company had $4,365,000 in cash and cash equivalents.
