<p>
Discussion:
</p>
<p>
Fiscal Year Ended 2007:
</p>
<p>
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, we reported total revenues of
$13.35 million compared to $12.17 million for the previous fiscal year, an
increase of 10%.  Net loss for fiscal 2007 was $2.61 million, or $0.58 per
share. For fiscal 2006, we reported a net loss of $3.37 million, or $0.86
per share.
</p>
<p>
The revenue increase for the year was primarily attributable to increases
in sales of aspheric lenses which was partially offset by decreases in
products sold to the telecommunications industry.
</p>
<p>
Gross margin for the full fiscal year 2007 was $3.05 million (gross margin
percentage of 23%) vs. gross margin from the prior fiscal year of $2.05
million (gross margin percentage of 17%). The primary reason for these
improved gross margins is the increased production at our China
manufacturing facility. The China facility contributed more than 75% of the
production of molded optics in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007.
</p>
<p>
Fourth Quarter 2007:
</p>
<p>
For the quarter ended June 30, 2007, we reported total revenues of $2.28
million compared to $3.41 million for the 2006 fourth quarter, a decrease
of 33%. Net loss for the quarter was $1.30 million, or $0.29 per share,
compared to a net loss of $0.83 million, or $0.18 per share. Starting in
the second quarter of fiscal 2007, new orders from our telecommunications
customers slowed down resulting in lower revenues in the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2007. Gross margin decreased in the fourth quarter vs. the same
period last year. Gross margin for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 was
approximately $51,000, or 2% vs. $449,000, or 13% as compared to the prior
year fourth quarter. The decrease in gross margin in the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2007 was mainly attributable to the decreased revenue, and $341,000
of one time expense relating to production issues at our China facility.
</p>
<p>
Other business expenses were generally the same contributing to an increase
in our net loss to $1.30 million for the fourth quarter of 2007 compared to
a net loss of $0.83 million in the fourth quarter of 2006.
</p>
<p>
Cash Status:
</p>
<p>
For the quarter ended June 30, 2007, net cash decreased by $0.59 million,
compared to an increase of $25,000 in the fourth quarter of 2006. For the
fiscal year of 2007, cash used was $2.47 million. In contrast, fiscal 2006
net cash used was $2.28 million, excluding the third quarter cash inflows
from a private placement of common stock ($3.58 million). Our cash usage
increase reflects the lower revenue levels in the second half of the fiscal
years and our inability to decrease fixed costs in line with the revenue
decline.
</p>
<p>
CEO's Comments:
</p>
<p>
Jim Gaynor, Interim CEO of LightPath, stated, "In Q4 we experienced some
extraordinary and isolated operational issues, which negatively impacted
our gross margin by $341,000 or 15 percentage points of gross margin.
</p>
<p>
These one time charges were attributed to glass yield issues, increased
direct labor, inventory adjustment associated with the China operation
startup and travel for engineering to train operators and upgrade molding
equipment to accept the new RoHS compliant glass system.
</p>
<p>
As part of our strategy to diversify our served markets and position the
company to be able to participate in lower cost, higher volume
opportunities, we have continued to expand our China manufacturing
capability.  Our China facility is now producing 75% of our aspheric
production volume and 85% of our manufactured preforms.
</p>
<p>
In addition, we have just completed upgrading all of the existing press
stations to the new computerized atmospheric controlled press in Orlando
and China. This change allows us to fully implement the RoHS compliant
glass systems and also allows us the flexibility to take advantage of other
lower cost glass materials in support of our strategy.
</p>
<p>
We will continue to leverage our Shanghai facility with the transfer of our
isolator product line from our Orlando facility to our China facility over
the next few months.
</p>
<p>
As a result of the management actions taken, we are seeing positive results
in yield improvement, production rates and cost reductions.
</p>
<p>
While we are not satisfied with the financial performance of the fourth
quarter, we have made significant progress in diversifying our markets,
reducing costs and positioning LightPath to participate in higher volume
market opportunities."
