Special Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements
Certain sections of this annual report contain forward-looking statements.
These statements relate to future events or future financial performance and
involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may
cause the Company's or its industry's actual results, levels of activity,
performance or achievements to be materially different from the future
results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied
by the forward-looking statements.
In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by words such as
"may," "will," "should," "expects," "plans," "anticipates," "believes,"
"estimates," "predicts," "potential," or the negative of these terms or other
comparable words. These statements are only predictions. Actual events or
results may differ materially.
Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-
looking statements are reasonable, it cannot guarantee future results, levels
of activity, performance or achievements. Moreover, neither the Company nor
any person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of these
forward- looking statements. The Company is under no duty to update any of the
forward-looking statements after the date of this report to conform its prior
statements to actual results.
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY.
OVERVIEW. Opt-Sciences Corporation, formed in 1956, conducts its business
through its wholly owned subsidiary, O & S Research, Inc. Both companies are
New Jersey corporations. As used in this form 10-K, the terms 'Company', "we"
or "our" refer to the combined operations of Opt-Sciences Corporation and O &
S Research, Inc.
The Company deposits anti-glare and/or transparent conductive optical coatings
on glass used primarily to cover instrument panels in aircraft cockpits. We
also provide full glass cutting, grinding and painting operations which
augment our optical coating capabilities. Most of our products are designed to
enable pilots to read aircraft instruments in direct sunlight or at night or
in covert situations using appropriate night vision filters. This is a niche
business primarily dependent on the needs of new and used aircraft for
initially installed parts, spare parts, replacements and upgrades. It requires
custom manufacturing of small lots of products to satisfy specific
requirements identified by our customers.
The Company's business is highly dependent on a robust commercial, business,
and regional aircraft market; to a lesser degree, it is also dependent on the
military aircraft market. We generally have a four to twelve week delivery
cycle depending on product complexity, available plant capacity and required
lead time for specialty raw materials such as polarizers or filter glass. Our
sales tend to fluctuate from quarter to quarter because all orders are custom
manufactured, and customer orders are generally scheduled for delivery based
on our customer's need date, not on our ability to make shipments. Since the
Company has two customers that together represent approximately 69% of sales,
any significant change in the requirements of either of those customers has a
direct impact on our revenue for any given quarter. When one of these customers
accelerates or defers a sizable order, sales for the following quarters may be
adjusted as the customer reevaluates its needs. One of our largest customers
has recently placed significantly higher levels of orders, as it transitions
its primary manufacturing facilities to a new location. That customer plans
to reduce future orders substantially as the transition process is concluded.
4
Based on our understanding of the industry and the needs of our customers, we
expect to complete and ship approximately 50% of the Fiscal Year 2010 backlog
of unshipped orders before the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2011. If we
do so, we expect first quarter sales to be approximately $1,800,000. Sales
for the following quarters are expected to decline substantially as one of
our major customers mentioned above adjusts its inventories to more normal
levels.
CORE PRODUCTS. The distinguishing characteristic of our business is our
optical thin film coating capability. Almost all products which we offer
incorporate an optical coating of some type. Our primary coatings are for
aircraft cockpit display applications and consist of our anti-reflection
coating used for glare reduction and our transparent conductive coating used
for electromagnetic interference shielding. We apply either or both coatings
to different types of glass face plates which are usually mounted on the front
of liquid crystal displays (LCDs), cathode ray tubes (CRTs), light emitting
diode displays(LEDs) and electromechanical displays (EMDs).
ANCILLARY PRODUCTS AND SERVICES. In addition to coated glass described above,
we also offer a full range of other specialty instrument glass, including
night vision filter glass, circular polarizers, touchpads, glass sandwiches
for LCDs as well as other custom designed specialty glass components and
assemblies.
STRATEGY FOR THE FUTURE. The Company continues to re-evaluate and adjust
its growth strategy pertaining to sales and marketing, production facilities
and efficiencies and our staffing methods to maximize the value of our
financial and human resources.
In Fiscal Year 2010, we hired 6 production employees as sales increased over
the course of the year. For Fiscal Year 2011, we expect we expect overall
sales to match Fiscal Year 2010, beginning with a very strong first quarter
followed by weaker subsequent quarters. We continue to see potential for
growth in our conductive coating business which is used primarily, but not
exclusively, on military platforms. We expect the anti-reflective coating
market to remain at current levels. We believe our future success is
contingent on the timely increase of our capacity to provide conductive
coatings, satifying the needs of our current customers, securing new
customers, developing new products and providing adequate staff and
facilities to meet our requirements.
MARKETING AND SALES. Our principal sales executive is our President, who
maintains regular contact with the largest customers and continually seeks to
develop new customers. We do not currently employ the services of
manufacturers representatives or sales personnel. O & S Research, Inc. and our
products are listed in the Thomas Register. We also maintain sales websites at
osresearch.com and optsciences.com. We engage in a low cost public relations
and advertising program. Purchasing personnel of major corporations or
governmental agencies place orders with us, based on price, delivery terms,
satisfaction of technical specifications and quality of product. Procurement
departments of customers ordinarily purchase products from us because we are
on an approved vendor list. We enhance sales prospects by providing creative
technical solutions to customer requirements. We are currently an approved
vendor for major aircraft programs. We continue to be a major supplier for the
anti-glare face plates covering the flat panel displays on the Boeing 777 and
the 737 Next Generation models of commercial aircraft and the long range
Gulfstream and Dassault Falcon business jets. We are also an approved vendor
for instrument glass used on several military aircraft platforms including the
C5 Galaxy and the C130. In Fiscal 2010, we derived approximately 69% of our
revenues from two major customers. The loss or permanent curtailment of
business with either of these companies would have a negative impact on our
operating results.
PATENTS, TRADEMARKS AND PROPRIETARY KNOWLEDGE. We do not hold patents or have
registered trademarks. However, our customers do rely on our accumulated
experience and know-how in satisfying their instrument glass requirements.
5
MANUFACTURING. Our customers commonly use LCDs for aircraft cockpit
instrumentation. Typically, a customer sends glass component drawings to us
for manufacturing. We generally cut the glass components from larger pieces
of glass which we purchase from multiple domestic sources, some on a custom
basis and some on a commodity basis. The two largest suppliers of such
glass to us are Europtec and Corning. We use our technology to apply a micro
thin optical non-glare and/or conductive coating to the glass. Both processes
utilize the deposit of a thin film of metal or metal oxide on the surface
of the glass. The process takes place in a heated vacuum chamber. We heat the
deposited material to over 1800 degrees Centigrade causing it to evaporate.
When the metal vapor contacts the glass, it condenses forming a very thin film
as hard as the original metal being evaporated. The thin films range in
thickness from 250 angstroms to 1500 angstroms. After quality control tests,
we ship the inspected products to our customers.
We also manufacture wedge glass lenses for electro-mechanical displays. These
lenses are manufactured from large glass sheets. The raw glass is a commodity
product which we can purchase from several glass manufacturers. The largest
supplier of such glass to us is Schott in Germany. We cut, grind and polish
the glass lenses and coat them with a micro-thin optical coating. We then ship
the lenses to the customer after clearance through quality control.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS. We believe we are in material compliance with
applicable United States, New Jersey and local laws and regulations relating
to the protection of the environment, and we do not devote material resources
to such matters.
COMPETITION. Competition is based on product quality, price, reputation and
ability to meet delivery deadlines. The market for our products is very
competitive. The type and amount of instrument glass consumed is subject to
changes in display technology and in ongoing reduction in the number of
displays used on both new aircraft and retrofitted aircraft. Our competitors
include JDSU, Metavac, Mod A Can, Tyrolit, Schott Glass and Hoya Optics. Our
competitors generally have significantly more financial, technical and human
resources than we do. Because of this, our competitors have the capacity to
respond more quickly to emerging technologies and customer preferences and may
devote greater resources to development, promotion and sale of their products
than we can. This competition could result, and in the past has resulted, in
price reductions, reduced margins and lower market share.
EMPLOYEES. As of October 30, 2010, we employed 49 employees, of which 44 were
full time individuals and none of whom are members of organized labor. This
represents a increase of 6 full time employees from the end of Fiscal 2009.
We expect to make further adjustments to our employee levels based on changes
in the market and our specific efforts to improve efficiencies and customer
service. We believe we have a good relationship with our employees. We are
subject to the federal minimum wage and hour laws and provide various routine
employee benefits such as life and health insurance. We also provide a 401K
Plan for the benefit of all our employees; we do not have a stock option plan.
The 401K Plan includes a matching contribution from us representing $0.50 for
each $1.00 an employee contributes up to 6% of the employee's base wages.
AVAILABLE INFORMATION. We maintain a website, optsciences.com, where you may
find additional information about our Company. Additional Company filings are
also available at the Securities & Exchange Commission's website, sec.gov. On
our website, optsciences.com, we provide links to our SEC filings, to the SEC
itself, to Yahoo for the latest stock quotations, to our transfer agent,
StockTrans, and to our manufacturing subsidiary, O & S Research, Inc.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
We conduct our operations at our principal office and manufacturing facility
located in the East Riverton Section of Cinnaminson, New Jersey. We own this
1.4 acre property in fee simple, and the property is not encumbered by any
lien or mortgage. The cinderblock and masonry facility contains approximately
11,000 square feet of manufacturing space and approximately 1,200 square feet
of office space. We also own and utilize a building containing 500 square feet
of warehouse and 7,500 square feet of manufacturing space on premises adjacent
to the main manufacturing facility. In addition, we lease on a year to year
basis 5,000 square feet in Riverton, New Jersey for general warehouse and
material storage.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are subject from time to time to certain claims and litigation in the
ordinary course of business. It is the opinion of management that the outcome
of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on our combined
financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations are based upon the Company's consolidated financial statements,
which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The preparation of
these 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. Specifically, inventory is estimated
quarterly and reconciled at the end of the fiscal year when a detailed audit
is conducted (also see Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 1. Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies and Note 2. Inventories).
GENERAL.
This Management's Discussion and Analysis as of October 30, 2010, should be
read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and
notes thereto set forth in this report. It also contains forward looking
statements as defined in Part I hereof.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES.
We have sufficient liquidity and credit to fund our contemplated capital and
operating activities through Fiscal 2011.
We continue to use our working capital to finance current operations,
including equipment purchases, capital improvements, inventory, payroll and
accounts receivable.
Our cash increased during Fiscal 2010 to $8,398,276 from $7,606,849 at the end
of Fiscal 2009. This increase was due primarily to earnings from operations.
Other income increased from the prior year primarily due to the reduction in
realized losses on the sale of securities. Our total current assets increased
$866,761 to $10,257,594 in Fiscal 2010 from $9,390,833 in Fiscal 2009.
Because of changes in the marketplace and an increasingly competitive
environment, we believe it may be necessary to make future investments in new
equipment and processes to compete successfully in the aerospace and
commercial display markets.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS: FISCAL YEAR 2010
NET SALES
Net sales of $4,899,983 for the Fiscal Year 2010 increased $18,672 or
less than 1% from Fiscal 2009. This increase was due to the substantial
increase in demand for our products in the second half of FY 2010 from
the steep decline of the business and commercial jet market during FY
2009 and early 2010.
COST OF SALES
Cost of sales decreased $167,584 or 5% for Fiscal 2010 compared to Fiscal
2009. Cost of sales consists of costs to manufacture the products we ship
and is comprised of raw materials, manufacturing direct labor and overhead
expenses. The overhead portion of cost of sales is primarily comprised of
salaries, medical and dental benefits, building expenses, production
supplies, and costs related to our production, inventory control and
quality departments.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Operating expenses for Fiscal 2010 were $828,583, an increase of
$48,218 or approximately 6% from Fiscal 2009. Operating expenses include
both general and administrative expenses and sales and delivery expenses.
Our general and administrative expenses consist of marketing and business
development expenses, professional expenses, salaries and benefits for
executive and administrative personnel, hiring, legal, accounting, and
other general corporate expenses.
OPERATING INCOME
Operating income increased $138,038 or approximately 28% to $627,089 in Fiscal
2010 from $489,051 in 2009. The increase from Fiscal 2009 is primarily due
to the increase in productivity as sales rebounded from depressed levels.
OTHER INCOME
Other income for Fiscal Year 2010 was $75,293 compared to a loss of $17,557
for Fiscal Year 2009. This large improvement is mainly attributable to
recognition of fewer capital losses from the Company's portfolio of
marketable securities.
NET INCOME
Net income of $460,650 or $0.59 per share for Fiscal 2010 increased
approximately 70% from $271,780 or $0.35 per share for Fiscal 2009 as a
result of the factors described above.
BACKLOG OF ORDERS
Our backlog of unshipped orders stood at $2,412,100 at the end of Fiscal Year
2010, up $1,393,000 from the end of Fiscal Year 2009 and up $211,000 from
the end of the third quarter. Of the backlog of orders existing at year end,
we expect to deliver 50% within the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2011.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS: FISCAL YEAR 2009
Fiscal 2009 ended with net sales of $4,881,311 an decrease of approximately
$1,867,380 or 28% over Fiscal 2008. The significant decrease in total sales
for 2009 over 2008 was primarily due to a steep decline in demand for
business aircraft which utilize instrumentation cover glass manufactured by
the Company. Operating expenses, including selling expenses, were $780,365
for Fiscal 2009, a decrease of $229,292 or 23% from Fiscal 2008. Operating
income decreased $784,111 or 78% to $489,051 in Fiscal 2009 from $1,273,162
in 2008. Other income resulted in a net loss of $17,557 primarily as a
result of recognizing $148,269 in capital losses from the Company's portfolio
of marketable securities. Net income after taxes of $271,780 or $0.35 per
share for Fiscal 2009 decreased markedly from $858,695 or $1.11 per share
for Fiscal 2008.
9
INFLATION
During the three year period that ended on October 30, 2010, inflation did not
have a material effect on our operating results.
OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We do not currently have any off balance sheet arrangements.
COMPANY RISK FACTORS
An investment in our common stock involves investment risks. A prospective
investor should evaluate all information about us and the risk factors
discussed below in relation to his financial circumstances before investing in
us.
1. The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly. In
addition, since our common stock has been thinly traded, it is difficult
for our shareholders to sell shares of our common stock at a predictable price.
2. Any continuation of weakness in the global economy will have negative
implications for our Company. Since our products are incorporated into very
expensive new and retrofitted aircraft, the lack of strong global economy
and orderly capital markets may result in reduced demand for our products.
3. Significant quarterly fluctuations in backlog and orders challenge the
Company to adjust the scale of its activities to the demand for its products;
the larger the fluctuations, the more difficult it is to have efficient
operations.
4. Our product offerings are concentrated. During Fiscal 2010 we derived
approximately 95% of our revenues from instrument glass used for avionics
and related aerospace products.
5. Our revenues come from a limited number of customers, with approximately
69% of sales arising from two customers. One of those customers was
recently acquired by a third party. A related change in its principal
place of manufacturing has thus far resulted in a short term increase in
demand for our products, which we expect will be followed by a substantial
decline, as inventories in the new facility are adjusted to perceived needs.
6. For a major portion of our business, we rely on raw materials manufactured
in Japan. An interruption of supplies from Japan would have a significant
impact on sales and our ability to support our customers.
7. The Company purchases raw materials overseas. To the extent that the
Company has entered into fixed price contracts based on U.S. Dollars and
purchases raw materials in foreign markets, the Company may experience a
reduction in profit margin as a result of a weakening American currency.
8. Our success depends on the efforts and expertise of our President,
Anderson L. McCabe. He is our chief executive officer, our chief financial
officer and our principal marketing officer. His death, disability or
termination of employment would adversely affect the future of our Company.
We do not have employment contracts with Mr. McCabe or other management
personnel. We do not maintain key man life insurance on Mr. McCabe or other
key personnel.
10
9. The market for our products is very competitive.
10. Purchase orders and specifications from our customers may include
extensive product warranties and contractual undertakings. Accordingly,
future claims by our customers may have an adverse effect on our future
operating results.
11. Our industry is also subject to significant risk from outside influences,
such as terrorist attacks (9/11) and biological epidemics (SARs and Avian
flu outbreaks in Asia). Other factors that may in the future influence our
industry are inflation, changes in diplomatic and trade relations with other
countries, tariffs, trade barriers and other regulatory barriers.
12. We are controlled by our major stockholder, the Arthur John Kania Trust.
The Arthur John Kania Trust, beneficially owns approximately 66% of our
outstanding common stock. Such concentrated control of the Company may
adversely affect the price of our common stock. Because of the high
percentage of beneficial ownership, the Trustee of that Trust is able to
control matters requiring the vote of stockholders, including the election
of our board of directors and certain other significant corporate actions.
This control could delay, defer or prevent others from initiating a potential
merger, takeover or other change in our control, even if these actions would
benefit our other stockholders and us. This control could adversely affect
the voting and other rights of our stockholders and could depress the market
price of our common stock. If you acquire common stock, you may have no
effective voice in the management of the Company.

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to supply information on
this item.
ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
The Consolidated Financial Statements, the notes thereto, and the reports
thereon by Goff Backa, Alfera & Company, LLC. dated January 18, 2011, are

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
None.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, our management carried out
an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the
Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in
Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as
of October 30, 2010. Based upon that evaluation, the Company's Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's
disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate
system of internal control over financial reporting, as such term is
defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Under the supervision of
our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, our management
conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over
financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control-Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission. Based on that evaluation, management concluded that,
as of October 30, 2010, our internal control over financial reporting was
effective.
11
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Company's
registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over
financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation
by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of
the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide
only management's report in this Annual Report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
No changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting
occurred during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010 that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's
internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 10. DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
INFORMATION REGARDING EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS
Our Directors serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders, or until
their successors have been elected. Our officers serve at the pleasure of the
Board of Directors.
Anderson L. McCabe, 55 years old, is our President, Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer. He graduated from the University of South
Carolina in 1977 and received a B.S. in Chemical Engineering. From 1977 to
1985, he was employed by United Engineers and Constructors, Inc., a subsidiary
of Raytheon Corporation as Process Engineer with managerial responsibilities.
In 1986 he became our president. He has been director of the Company since
1987.
Arthur J. Kania, 79 years old, is our Secretary. He is not active in our day-
to-day operations. Mr. Kania's principal occupations during the past five
years have been as Principal of Trikan Associates (real estate ownership and
management - investment firm); and as a partner of the law firm of Kania,
Lindner, Lasak and Feeney. He has been a director of the Company since 1977.
Arthur J. Kania, Jr., 55 years old, has been a director of the Company since
1987. He is not active in our day-to-day operations. He is a principal of
Trikan Associates (real estate ownership and management-investment firm) and
vice-president of Newtown Street Road Associates (real estate ownership and
management).
SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"), requires the Company's officers, directors and any person
owning ten percent or more of the Company's common stock, to file in their
personal capacities initial statements of beneficial ownership, statements
of change in beneficial ownership and annual statements of beneficial
ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Persons
filing such beneficial ownership arrangements are required by SEC regulation
to furnish to the Company copies of all such statements filed with the SEC.
The rules of the SEC regarding the filing of such statements require that
"late filings" of such statements be disclosed in the Company's information
statement. Based solely on the Company's review of copies of such statements
received by, and on representations from, the Company's existing directors
and officers that no annual statements of beneficial ownership were
required to be filed by such persons, the Company believes that all such
statements were timely filed in 2010.
12
BOARD MEETINGS AND COMMITTEES
Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert
Our Board of Directors functions as an audit committee and performs some of
the same functions as an audit committee including: (1) selection and
oversight of our independent accountant; (2) establishing procedures for the
receipt, retention and treatment of complaints regarding accounting, internal
controls and auditing matters; and (3) engaging outside advisors. We are not a
"listed company" under SEC rules and are therefore not required to have an
audit committee with independent directors. Our Board of Directors does not
have an independent director. Our Board of Directors has determined that each
of its members is able to read and understand fundamental financial statements
and has substantial relevant business and accounting experience. Accordingly,
the Board of Directors believes that each of its members has sufficient
knowledge and experience necessary to fulfill the duties and obligations that
an audit committee would have in a company such as ours.
Board Meetings; Nominating and Compensation Committees
Given the small size of the Company and its limited staff and operations,
its directors frequently make determinations informally by telephone calls
or by written consent. The Board met before and after the Annual
Shareholders Meeting, and at one additional time during the Fiscal Year.
Each Meeting was attended by all directors. We pay each of our Directors
a fixed annual stipend for acting as Director. No such payment shall
preclude any director from serving us in any other capacity and receiving
compensation therefor. A total of $7,500 has been paid to each director for
services as director during the last fiscal year.
We are not a "listed company" under SEC rules and are therefore not required
to have a compensation committee or a nominating committee. We do not
currently have a compensation committee. Our Board of Directors is currently
comprised of only three members, one of whom acts as Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer.
ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To Stockholders and Board of Directors
OPT-Sciences Corporation
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of OPT-
Sciences Corporation and Subsidiary as of October 30, 2010 and October 31,
2009 and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity and
comprehensive income and cash flows for each of the fiscal years in the two
year period ended October 30, 2010. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not
required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal
control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal
control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures
that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control
over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no opinion. An audit also
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide
a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of OPT-Sciences
Corporation and Subsidiary as of October 30, 2010 and October 31, 2009 and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
fiscal years in the two year period ended October 30, 2010 in conformity with
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of OPT-Sciences
Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles 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 during the reporting period.

At October 30, 2010, the Company had a deferred tax asset of $114,179 and a
deferred tax liability of $180,384, resulting in a net deferred tax liability
of $66,205.
At October 31, 2009, the Company had a deferred tax asset of $159,792 and a
deferred tax liability of $193,443, resulting in a net deferred tax liability
of $33,651.
Deferred income taxes result from significant temporary differences between
income for financial reporting purposes and taxable income. These differences
arose principally from the use of accelerated tax depreciation and the carry
forward of capital and net operating losses.
At October 30, 2010, the Company had capital loss carry forwards of $219,160
expiring in 2011 through 2016. All of these losses are deemed to be usable
before expiration.
During the year, amended tax returns were filed for the years 2006 through
2008 to take advantage of tax deductions not available at the time when
the returns were initially filed. As a result, the refunds received of
$44,542 reduced the income tax expense for the period and caused the
effective tax rate to drop from 42.4% to 33.9% for the years ended October
30, 2010 and October 31, 2009, respectively. Interest income was also
recognized on these refunds of $1,253.
