Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Principles of Consolidation and Operations

Principles of Consolidation and Operations

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Precision Optics Corporation, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, without audit, and reflect normal recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results of the third quarter and nine months of the Company’s fiscal year 2020. These consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures associated with annual consolidated financial statements and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with footnotes contained in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2019, together with the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm filed under cover of the Company’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 26, 2019.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Reclassification

Reclassification

Certain balance sheet items in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the current period financial statements. This reclassification had no effect on the previously reported net loss.

Income (Loss) per Share

Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income or net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income or net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, plus the number of potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period such as stock options and warrants. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the effect of such securities was antidilutive and not included in the diluted calculation because of the net loss generated in these periods.

The following is the calculation of loss per share for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019:

	Three Months Ended March 31,						Nine Months Ended March 31,
	2020			2019			2020			2019
Net Loss - Basic and Diluted	$	(466,130	)	$	(80,483	)	$	(1,103,065	)	$	(505,716	)
Basic and Dilutive Weighted Average Shares Outstanding		12,982,494			12,020,328			12,898,004			11,294,902
Loss Per Share - Basic and Diluted	$	(0.04	)	$	(0.01	)	$	(0.09	)	$	(0.04	)

The number of shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants that were excluded from the computation as their effect was antidilutive was approximately 2,072,800 and 1,462,000 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

In assessing the likelihood of utilization of existing deferred tax assets, management has considered historical results of operations and the current operating environment. Based on this evaluation, a full valuation reserve has been provided for the deferred tax assets.

Goodwill and Patents

Goodwill and Patents

Long-lived assets such as goodwill and patents are capitalized when acquired and reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the book value of the asset may not be recoverable. Impairment of the carrying value of long-lived assets such as goodwill and patents would be indicated if the best estimate of future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset grouping is less than its carrying value. If an impairment is indicated, any loss is measured as the difference between estimated fair value and carrying value and is recognized in operating income or loss. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. No such impairments of goodwill or patents have been estimated by management as of March 31, 2020.
