are shipped to the customer, provided that we have received a valid purchase order, the price is fixed, title has transferred, collection of the associated receivable is reasonably assured, and there are no remaining significant obligations.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The second type of revenue is from product development agreements. These agreements relate to projects that employ our optical engineering group to design
the passive optic elements for clients&#146; systems. Revenue is recognized as services are performed in accordance with the terms of the agreements. Revenue may also be recognized under these agreements upon shipment of products (typically
prototypes) to the customer. However, most of these agreements do not relate to the shipment of product; hence our use of the word, &#147;generally,&#148; in our disclosure. These projects are short-term in nature, usually two-four weeks duration.
