Note 1 - Organization and Operations

Concurrent with the filing of the Optex Systems Holdings, Inc.’s Form 10-Q for the three months ending January 1, 2017, Optex Systems Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) has filed an Amendment No. 1 to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 2, 2016, which was originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 23, 2016. The Company has restated its consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 2, 2016 to correct the manner in which the Company recorded 4,125,200 warrants that were issued in conjunction with common stock and Series C preferred shares pursuant to a public offering on August 26, 2016. These restatements have been reflected in the amended financial statements contained herein. The errors which were included in the December 23, 2016 Form 10-K Annual Report were incurred during the final month of the 2016 fiscal year and were subsequently identified in the following quarter prior to submission of any interim reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission and as such, the restated balances are limited to the Annual Report Form 10-K for fiscal year ending October 2, 2016.

Note 2 - Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Optex Systems Holdings and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Optex Systems, Inc. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The condensed consolidated financial statements of Optex Systems Holdings included herein have been prepared by Optex Systems Holdings, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in conjunction with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although Optex Systems Holdings believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Optex Systems Holdings’ Form 10-K/A for the year ended October 2, 2016 and other reports filed with the SEC.

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Optex Systems Holdings for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for these periods are not necessarily comparable to, or indicative of, results of any other interim period or for the fiscal year taken as a whole. Certain information that is not required for interim financial reporting purposes has been omitted.

F-5

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statement and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from the estimates.

Inventory: Inventory is recorded at the lower of cost or market value, and adjusted, as necessary, for decreases in valuation and obsolescence. Adjustments to the valuation and obsolescence reserves are made after analyzing market conditions, current and projected sales activity, inventory costs and inventory balances to determine appropriate reserve levels. Cost is determined using the first-in first-out method. Under arrangements by which progress payments are received against certain contracts, the customer retains a security interest in the undelivered inventory identified with these contracts. Payments received for such undelivered inventory are classified as unliquidated progress payments and deducted from the gross inventory balance. As of January 1, 2017 and October 2, 2016, there were no unliquidated progress payments. As of January 1, 2017 and October 2, 2016, inventory included:

	(Thousands)
	January 1, 2017			October 2, 2016
Raw Material	$	4,518		$	4,655
Work in Process		3,152			2,830
Finished Goods		566			380
Gross Inventory	$	8,236		$	7,865
Less: Inventory Reserves		(1,651	)		(1,651	)
Net Inventory	$	6,585		$	6,214

Net inventory increased by $371 thousand during the three months ending January 1, 2017 in support of contracts deliverable over the next six months.

Revenue Recognition: Optex Systems Holdings recognizes revenue based on the modified percentage of completion method utilizing the units-of-delivery method, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 605-35:

The units-of-delivery method recognizes as revenue the contract price of units of a basic production product delivered during a period and as the cost of earned revenue the costs allocable to the delivered units. Costs allocable to undelivered units are reported in the balance sheet as inventory or work in progress. The method is used in circumstances in which an entity produces units of a basic product under production-type contracts in a continuous or sequential production process to buyers’ specifications.

Optex Systems Holdings contracts are fixed price production type contracts whereby a defined order quantity is delivered to the customer during a continuous or sequential production process tailored to the buyer’s specifications (build to print). Optex Systems Holdings’ deliveries against these contracts generally occur in monthly increments across fixed delivery periods spanning from 3 to 36 months.

Customer Advance Deposits: Customer advance deposits represent amounts collected from customers in advance of shipment or revenue recognition, which relate to undelivered product or other cash in advance payment terms. As of January 1, 2017, Optex Systems, Inc. had a balance of $0.5 million in short term customer advance deposits for materials purchased in support of deliveries to occur within the next twelve months.

Stock-Based Compensation: FASB ASC 718 establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services, but primarily focuses on transactions whereby an entity obtains employee services for share-based payments. FASB ASC 718 requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in the consolidated financial statements. That cost will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments.

F-6

The Company’s accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows the provisions of FASB ASC 505-50. The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendor’s performance is complete. In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term of the consulting agreement. Stock-based compensation related to non-employees is accounted for based on the fair value of the related stock or options or the fair value of the services, whichever is more readily determinable in accordance with FASB ASC 718.

Segment Reporting: FASB ASC 280 requires that a public business enterprise report financial and descriptive information about its reportable operating segments. Operating segments are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Generally, financial information is required to be reported on the basis that it is used internally for evaluating segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources to segments. Segments are determined based on differences in products, internal reporting and how operational decisions are made. Management has determined that the Optex Systems, Richardson plant, and the Applied Optics Center, Dallas plant, which was acquired on November 3, 2014, are separately managed, organized, and internally reported as separate business segments. The FASB ASC 280 requires that a public business enterprise report a measure of segment profit or loss, certain specific revenue and expense items, and segment assets. It requires reconciliations of total segment revenues, total segment profit or loss, total segment assets, and other amounts disclosed for segments to corresponding amounts in the enterprise’s general-purpose financial statements.

Financial Instruments Indexed to and Potentially Settled in the Company’s Common Stock: The Company evaluates all financial instruments issued in connection with its equity offerings when determining the proper accounting treatment for such instruments in the Company’s financial statements. The Company considers a number of generally accepted accounting principles under U.S. GAAP to determine such treatment and evaluates the features of the instrument to determine the appropriate accounting treatment. For financial instruments either classified as a liabilities pursuant to ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” indexed to and potentially settled in the Company’s common stock that are determined to be classified as liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet, changes in fair value are recorded as a gain or loss in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations with the corresponding amount recorded as an adjustment to the liability on its consolidated balance sheets.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments: FASB ASC 825-10 requires disclosure of fair value information about certain financial instruments, including, but not limited to, cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, refundable tax credits, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued expenses, notes payable to related parties and convertible debt-related securities. Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of the financial statement presentation date.

The carrying value of the balance sheet cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and notes payable, are carried at, or approximate, fair value as of the reporting date because of their short-term nature. Fair values for the Company’s warrant liabilities and derivatives are estimated by utilizing valuation models that consider current and expected stock prices, volatility, dividends, market interest rates, forward yield curves and discount rates. Such amounts and the recognition of such amounts are subject to significant estimates that may change in the future.

The accounting guidance FASB ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value and requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting the reporting entity’s own assumptions.

F-7

The accounting guidance establishes a hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of quoted market prices and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. An asset or liability’s level is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Fair value estimates are reviewed at the origination date and again at the each applicable measurement date and interim or annual financial reporting dates, as applicable for the financial instrument, and are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management at those times.

The methods and significant inputs and assumptions utilized in estimating the fair value of the warrant liabilities are discussed further in Note 7 “Warrant Liabilities". Each of the measurements is considered a Level 3 measurement as a result of at least one unobservable input.

Income Tax/Deferred Tax: FASB ASC 740 requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differing treatment of items for financial reporting and income tax reporting purposes. The deferred tax balances are adjusted to reflect tax rates by tax jurisdiction, based on currently enacted tax laws, which will be in effect in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. Under FASB ASC 740, 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. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations.

Earnings per Share: Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available for common shareholders (the numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (the denominator) for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.

The potentially dilutive securities that Optex Systems Holdings has outstanding are convertible preferred stock, unvested restricted stock units, stock options and warrants. In computing the dilutive effect of convertible preferred stock, the numerator is adjusted to add back any convertible preferred dividends and the denominator is increased to assume the conversion of the number of additional common shares. Optex Systems Holdings uses the Treasury Stock Method to compute the dilutive effect of any dilutive shares. Convertible preferred stock, unvested restricted stock units, stock options and warrants that are anti-dilutive are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per common share.

For the three months ended January 1, 2017, 132,000 unvested restricted stock units, 56,290 stock options and 4,125,200 warrants were excluded from the earnings per share calculation as anti-dilutive. For the three months ended December 27, 2015, 1001 shares of Series A preferred stock, 969 shares of Series B preferred stock, 62,847 stock options and 1,000 warrants were excluded from the earnings per share calculation as anti-dilutive.

Note 3 Segment Reporting

Optex Systems Holdings reportable segments are strategic businesses offering similar products to similar markets and customers; however the companies are operated and managed separately due to differences in manufacturing technology, equipment, geographic location, and specific product mix. Applied Optics Center was acquired as a unit, and the management at the time of the acquisition was retained.

The Applied Optics Center segment also serves as the key supplier of laser coated filters used in the production of periscope assemblies for the Optex Systems Richardson segment. Intersegment sales and transfers are accounted for at annually agreed to pricing rates based on estimated segment product cost, which includes segment direct manufacturing and general and administrative costs, but exclude profits that would apply to third party external customers.

F-8

Optex Systems – Richardson, serves as the home office for both segments and shared general and administrative costs attributable to both segments are allocated directly to the segments based on the government Cost Accounting Standard (CAS) 403 – “Allocation of Home Office Expenses to Segments”. The purpose of CAS 403 is to provide criteria for allocating home office expenses to the segments of an organization based on the beneficial or causal relationships between the expenses and the receiving segments. Based on CAS 403, Optex Systems Holdings allocates home office expenses based on a three factor formula which is the average of the following three percentages for each of the segments fiscal year:

(1) The percentage of segment payroll dollars to total payroll dollars of all segments;

(2) The percentage of the segment’s operating revenue to the total operating revenue of all segments

(3) The percentage of the average net book value of the sum of the segment’s tangible capital assets plus inventories to the total average net book value of such assets of all segments.

The financial table below presents the information for each of the reportable segments profit or loss as well as segment assets for each year. Optex Systems Holdings, Inc. does not allocate interest expense, income taxes or unusual items to segments.

Rental Payments under Non-cancellable Operating Leases

Optex Systems Holdings leases its office and manufacturing facilities for the Optex Systems, Inc., Richardson address and the Applied Optics Center Dallas address, under non-cancellable operating leases.

The leased facility under Optex Systems Inc. at 1420 Presidential Drive, Richardson, Texas consists of 49,100 square feet of space and expires March 31, 2021. Pursuant to the terms of the most recent amendment to the Richardson site facilities lease, there was no base rent payment due from January 1, 2014 through March 31, 2014, with payments beginning April 2014, and annual rental payment inflationary increases between 3.4% and 4.8% occurring each year beginning in 2016.

The leased facility under the Applied Optics Center at 9839 and 9827 Chartwell Drive, Dallas, Texas, consists of 44,867 square feet of space at the premises. On November 17, 2016, we received a countersigned new lease for the Applied Optics Center from the landlord, dated October 21, 2016, and which commenced retroactive to October 1, 2016. The new lease term will expire on October 31, 2021, with two renewal options available to the tenant, each with a renewal term duration of five years. The monthly base rent is $19.4 thousand through September 30, 2017 and escalates approximately 3% October 1, each year thereafter through 2021. The lease includes a one month base rent abatement for October 1 through October 31, 2016 for $19.4 thousand. The monthly rent includes approximately $4.9 thousand for additional Common Area Maintenance fees and taxes (CAM), to be adjusted annually based on actual expenses incurred by the landlord. The total monthly rent including CAM is $24.3 thousand beginning November 1, 2016. Our obligations to make payments under the lease are secured by a $250,000 standby letter of credit which we may be reduced to $125,000 on October 31, 2019.

As of January 1, 2017 the unamortized deferred rent was $127 thousand as compared to $108 thousand as of October 2, 2016. Deferred rent expense is amortized monthly over the life of the lease.

Note 5 – Prepaid Royalties

Prepaid royalties represent payments made for the purchase of non-transferable, non-exclusive patent rights associated with a patent license. The patent license allows for development of current and future products in our digital line of periscopes. We completed our first international shipment utilizing this technology in 2014 and are currently in production to support a U.S. Government Foreign Military Sale contract awarded in January 2016. We estimate the commercial life of the patent at seven years. As of January 1, 2017, the balance of the patent license is $82.8 thousand net of accumulated amortization. The royalty expenses for the associated patent license are amortized on a straight line basis starting in fiscal year 2013.

Note 7-Warrant Liabilities

On August 26, 2016, Optex Systems Holdings Inc. issued 4,125,200 warrants to new shareholders and the underwriter, in connection with a public share offering. The warrants entitle the holder to purchase one share of our common stock at an exercise price equal to $1.50 per share at any time on or after August 26, 2016 (the “Initial Exercise Date”) and on or prior to the close of business on August 26, 2021 (the “Termination Date”). The Company determined that these warrants are free standing financial instruments that are legally detachable and separately exercisable from the common stock included in the public share offering. Management also determined that the warrants are puttable for cash upon a fundamental transaction at the option of the holder and as such required classification as a liability pursuant to ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”. In accordance with the accounting guidance, the outstanding warrants are recognized as a warrant liability on the balance sheet and are measured at their inception date fair value and subsequently re-measured at each reporting period with changes being recorded as a component of other income in the statement of operations.

The fair value of the warrant liabilities were measured using a binomial lattice model (“Binomial”). Significant inputs into the model at the inception and reporting period measurement dates are as follows:

Restricted Stock Units issued to Officers and Employees

On June 14, 2016, the Compensation Committee (“Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Optex Systems Holdings, Inc. approved the Company’s 2016 Restricted Stock Unit Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan provides for the issuance of stock units (“RSU”) for up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to Optex Systems Holdings officers and employees. Each RSU constitutes a right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock, subject to vesting, which unless otherwise stated in an RSU agreement, shall vest in equal amounts on the first, second and third anniversary of the grant date. Shares of the Company’s common stock underlying the number of vested RSUs will be delivered as soon as practicable after vesting. During the period between grant and vesting, the RSUs may not be transferred, and the grantee has no rights as a shareholder until vesting has occurred. If the grantee’s employment is terminated for any reason (other than following a change in control of the Company or a termination of an officer other than for cause), then any unvested RSUs under the award will automatically terminate and be forfeited. If an officer grantee’s employment is terminated by the Company without cause or by the grantee for good reason, then, provided that the RSUs have not been previously forfeited, the remaining unvested portion of the RSUs will immediately vest as of the officer grantee’s termination date. In the event of a change in control, the Company’s obligations regarding outstanding RSUs shall, on such terms as may be approved by the Committee prior to such event, immediately vest, be assumed by the surviving or continuing company or cancelled in exchange for property (including cash).

Warrants

Pursuant to a warrant agreement between Optex Systems Inc. and Equity Stock Transfer, LLC, as warrant agent, the warrants will be issued in book-entry form and shall initially be represented only by one or more global warrants deposited with the warrant agent, as custodian on behalf of The Depository Trust Company, or DTC, and registered in the name of Cede & Co., a nominee of DTC, or as otherwise directed by DTC.

The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances, including in the event of a stock splits, stock dividend, extraordinary dividend on or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. For one year following the issuance date of the warrants, the exercise price of the warrants will also be adjusted for issuances of common stock at a price below their exercise price, on the date of issuance of any option to purchase, or sell or grant any right to reprice, or otherwise dispose of or issue (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition) any common stock or common stock equivalents, at an effective price per share less than the exercise price then in effect. Under such adjustment, the exercise price of the warrants shall be reduced to that lower issuance price per share. Under the terms of the Warrants, there can only be one such price reset during the term of the warrant.

F-17

Under the terms of the warrant agreement, Optex Systems Holdings Inc. has agreed to use their best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement and current prospectus relating to common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants until the expiration of the warrants. During any period Optex fails to have maintained an effective registration statement covering the shares underlying the warrants, the warrant holder may exercise the warrants on a cashless basis. The warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of common stock and any voting rights until they exercise their warrants and receive shares of common stock, except as set forth in the warrants. After the issuance of shares of common stock upon exercise of the warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.

Subject to limited exceptions, a holder of warrants will not have the right to exercise any portion of its warrants if the holder (together with such holder’s affiliates, and any persons acting as a group together with such holder or any of such holder’s affiliates) would beneficially own a number of shares of common stock in excess of 4.99% of the shares of our common stock then outstanding after giving effect to such exercise (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”); provided, however, that, upon notice to the Company, the holder may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, provided that in no event shall the Beneficial Ownership Limitation exceed 9.99% and any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until 61 days following notice of such increase from the holder to us.

No fractional shares of common stock will be issued upon exercise of the warrants. If, upon exercise of the warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, Optex Systems Holdings Inc. will, upon exercise, round up to the nearest whole number of shares of common stock to be issued to the warrant holder. If multiple warrants are exercised by the holder at the same time, Optex Systems Holdings Inc. will aggregate the number of whole shares issuable upon exercise of all the warrants. There is no established trading market for the warrants. The warrants have been approved for quotation on the OTCQB.

In the event of a fundamental transaction (as defined in warrant), then the Company or any successor entity will pay at the holder’s option, exercisable at any time concurrently with or within 30 days after the consummation of the fundamental transaction, an amount of cash equal to the value of the remaining unexercised portion of the warrants on the date of consummation of the fundamental transaction as determined in accordance with the Black Scholes option pricing model.

The Company determined that these warrants are free standing financial instruments that are legally detachable and separately exercisable from the common stock included in the public share offering. Management also determined that the warrants are puttable for cash upon a fundamental transaction at the option of the holder and as such require classification as a liability pursuant to ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”. In accordance with the accounting guidance, the outstanding warrants are recognized as a warrant liability on the balance sheet. See Note 7 “Warrant Liabilities”.

During the three months ending January 1, 2017 and the twelve months ending October 2, 2016, zero warrants had been exercised. As of January 1, 2017 and October 2, 2016 the outstanding warrants were 4,125,200.

Note 10 Subsequent Events

On January 5, 2017, Optex Systems Holdings issued 45,799 common shares related to the vesting of the 68,000 restricted stock units on January 1, 2017. The shares issued were net of 22,201 common shares withheld for employee federal income tax requirements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations

This MD&A is intended to supplement and complement our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended October 2, 2016 and our reviewed but unaudited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto for the quarter ended January 1, 2017, prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). You are encouraged to review our consolidated financial statements in conjunction with your review of this MD&A. The financial information in this MD&A has been prepared in accordance with GAAP, unless otherwise indicated. In addition, we use non-GAAP financial measures as supplemental indicators of our operating performance and financial position. We use these non-GAAP financial measures internally for comparing actual results from one period to another, as well as for planning purposes. We will also report non-GAAP financial results as supplemental information, as we believe their use provides more insight into our performance. When non-GAAP measures are used in this MD&A, they are clearly identified as non-GAAP measures and reconciled to the most closely corresponding GAAP measure.

The following discussion highlights the principal factors that have affected our financial condition and results of operations as well as our liquidity and capital resources for the periods described. This discussion contains forward-looking statements. Please see “Special cautionary statement concerning forward-looking statements” and “Risk factors” for a discussion of the uncertainties, risks and assumptions associated with these forward-looking statements. The operating results for the periods presented were not significantly affected by inflation.

Background

On March 30, 2009, a reorganization was consummated pursuant to which the then existing shareholders of Optex Systems, Inc. (Delaware) exchanged their shares of common stock for shares of common stock of Optex Systems Holdings as follows: (i) the outstanding 85,000,000 shares of Optex Systems, Inc. (Delaware) common stock were exchanged by Optex Systems Holdings for 113,333,282 shares of Optex Systems Holdings common stock, (ii) the outstanding 1,027 shares of Optex Systems, Inc. (Delaware) Series A preferred stock were exchanged by Optex Systems Holdings for 1,027 shares of Optex Systems Holdings Series A preferred stock, and (iii) the 8,131,667 shares of Optex Systems, Inc. (Delaware) common stock purchased in the private placement were exchanged by Optex Systems Holdings for 8,131,667 shares of Optex Systems Holdings common stock. Optex Systems, Inc. (Delaware) has remained a wholly-owned subsidiary of Optex Systems Holdings. The common shares above are presented at their pre reverse split share quantities to preserve historical information. Optex Systems Holdings effected a 1000:1 reverse stock split on October 7, 2015.

As a result of the reorganization, Optex Systems Holdings changed its name from Sustut Exploration Inc. to Optex Systems Holdings, Inc., and its year end from December 31 to a fiscal year ending on the Sunday nearest September 30.

Optex Systems, Inc. (Delaware) manufactures optical sighting systems and assemblies, primarily for Department of Defense applications. Its products are installed on various types of U.S. military land vehicles, such as the Abrams and Bradley fighting vehicles, light armored and armored security vehicles and have been selected for installation on the Stryker family of vehicles. Optex Systems, Inc. (Delaware) also manufactures and delivers numerous periscope configurations, rifle and surveillance sights and night vision optical assemblies. Optex Systems, Inc. (Delaware) products consist primarily of build-to-customer print products that are delivered both directly to the armed services and to other defense prime contractors. Less than 1% of today’s revenue is related to the resale of products substantially manufactured by others. In this case, the product would likely be a simple replacement part of a larger system previously produced by Optex Systems, Inc. (Delaware).

We are both a prime and sub-prime contractor to the Department of Defense. Sub-prime contracts are typically issued through major defense contractors such as General Dynamics Land Systems, Raytheon Corp., BAE, NorcaTec and others. We are also a military supplier to foreign governments such as Israel, Australia and NAMSA and South American countries and as a subcontractor for several large U.S. defense companies serving foreign governments.

By way of background, the Federal Acquisition Regulation is the principal set of regulations that govern the acquisition process of government agencies and contracts with the U.S. government. In general, parts of the Federal Acquisition Regulation are incorporated into government solicitations and contracts by reference as terms and conditions effecting contract awards and pricing solicitations.

Many of our contracts are prime or subcontracted directly with the Federal government and, as such, are subject to Federal Acquisition Regulation Subpart 49.5, “Contract Termination Clauses” and more specifically Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses 52.249-2 “Termination for Convenience of the Government Fixed-Price)”, and 49.504 “Termination of fixed-price contracts for default”. These clauses are standard clauses on our prime military contracts and generally apply to us as subcontractors. It has been our experience that the termination for convenience is rarely invoked, except where it is mutually beneficial for both parties. We are currently not aware of any pending terminations for convenience or for default on our existing contracts.

In the event a termination for convenience were to occur, Federal Acquisition Regulation clause 52.249-2 provides for full recovery of all contractual costs and profits reasonably occurred up to and as a result of the terminated contract. In the event a termination for default were to occur, we could be liable for any excess cost incurred by the government to acquire supplies from another supplier similar to those terminated from us. We would not be liable for any excess costs if the failure to perform the contract arises from causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the company as defined by Federal Acquisition Regulation clause 52.249-8.

In addition, some of our contracts allow for government contract financing in the form of contract progress payments pursuant to Federal Acquisition Regulation 52.232-16, “Progress Payments”. As a small business, and subject to certain limitations, this clause provides for government payment of up to 90% of incurred program costs prior to product delivery. To the extent our contracts allow for progress payments, we intend to utilize this benefit, thereby minimizing the working capital impact on Optex Systems Holdings for materials and labor required to complete the contracts.

Recent Orders

In October 2016, we received a $0.8 million order from L-3 Communications for night vision goggle laser interference filter assemblies.

In October 2016, we were awarded a $1.3 million portion of a commercial multi-year strategic supplier agreement with a domestic manufacturer of premium optical devices to supply its optical assemblies.

In November 2016, we were awarded a $1.5 million contract for laser protected periscopes from Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). The award is the first delivery order against a 5-year Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with DLA totaling $5.99 million

In December 2016, we were awarded a $1.5 million purchase order from one of the world’s largest defense companies for laser protected periscopes. The periscopes will be delivered over the next three years for installation into Light Armored Vehicles in the Middle East.

New Product Development

We continue to field new product opportunities from both domestic and international customers. Given continuing unrest in multiple global hot spots, the need for precision optics continues to increase. Most of these requirements are for observation and situational awareness applications; however, we continue to see requests for higher magnification and custom reticles in various product modifications. The basic need to protect the soldier while providing information about the mission environment continues to be the primary driver for these requirements.

We do not believe that the change in government administration will cause a major change in the direction of funding or product need for the U.S. military. Maintenance will still be required, and the opportunities for us to upgrade existing systems with higher performing systems will continue to present themselves. Spending levels may change, but given the mix between foreign spending, domestic/prime demand, and the more recent commercial opportunities, we do not expect any negative trends arising from political domestic changes into fiscal 2017.

During the first six months of 2015, we released a new digital spotting scope called Red Tail (patent pending). This device is targeted towards long range observation and image recording used by military, border patrol, and select consumer/commercial applications. The device is designed to deliver high definition images with military grade resolution, but at commercial “off the shelf” pricing. Using high grade optics to deliver a 45X magnified image onto a 5 megapixel CMOS sensor, the Red Tail device then transmits this image via Wi-Fi to the user’s smartphone or tablet. Digital still images or videos can then be captured and/or emailed using a custom Red Tail app available for either iOS or Android devices. We demonstrated this device in April 2015 at the Border Security Expo in Phoenix, Arizona and received positive feedback from U.S. border agents, police officers, and other Expo attendees.

On November 10, 2015, we entered into a retail sales relationship with Cabela’s Inc., to distribute our Red Tail Digital Spotting Scope as well as our new Stabilized Monocular. We are presently in negotiations to make these devices available via General Services Administration schedules for government personnel.

Results of Operations

Segment Information

We have presented the operating results by segment to provide investors with an additional tool to evaluate our operating results and to have a better understanding of the overall performance of each business segment and its ability to perform in subsequent periods. Management of Optex Systems Holdings uses the selected financial measures by segment internally to evaluate its ongoing segment operations and to allocate resources within the organization accordingly. Segments are determined based on differences in products, location, internal reporting and how operational decisions are made. Management has determined that the Optex Systems, Richardson plant, and the Applied Optics Center, Dallas plant, which was acquired on November 3, 2014, are separately managed, organized, and internally reported as separate business segments. The table below provides a summary of selective statement of operations data by operating segment for the three months ended January 1, 2017 and December 27, 2015 reconciled to the Audited Consolidated Results of Operations as presented in Item 8,“Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”.

Our total revenues increased by $0.3 million or 9.4% during the three months ending January 1, 2017 as compared to the three months ending December 27, 2015. Increased revenues during the quarter were primarily driven by increased revenues of $0.4 million at the Applied Optics Center, offset by lower revenue of ($0.1) at the Optex Richardson plant. Intersegment revenues increased by $0.3 million during the period, from $0.2 million to $0.5 million. Intersegment revenues relate primarily to coated filters provided by the Applied Optics Center to Optex Systems in support of the Optex Systems periscope line.

Both the gross margin and the gross margin percentages increased by segment and on a consolidated basis during the three months ending January 1, 2017 as compared to the prior year period. Total gross margin increased by $0.3 million, and 7.5% points to 22.0% from 14.5%. The gross margin percentage for the Applied Optics Center increased from 7.8% to 13.4% and by $0.3 million from the prior year period. The increased Applied Optics Center margins are primarily driven by increased revenue and the corresponding contribution margin towards fixed costs, a more favorable pricing structure in addition to improvements in labor and product yield efficiencies for our optical assembly and laser interface filters. The Optex Richardson gross margin percentage increased from 17.8% to 25.1% and by $0.1 million in the current period as compared to the prior year period. The Optex Richardson margin increases are primarily attributable to lower manufacturing overhead rates on increased periscope production levels in the current year as compared to the prior year in addition to changes in product mix as the DDAN sighting systems are scheduled to ship in the second half of fiscal 2017 and carry lower product margins as compared to our periscope product line. We expect the gross margins for both segments to continue to improve throughout the fiscal year as revenues grow and labor efficiencies continue to improve on the Applied Optics Center optical assembly line.

During the three months ending January 1, 2017 and December 27, 2015, the Applied Optics Center absorbed $0.2 million of fixed general and administrative costs incurred by Optex Systems for support services. These expenses cover accounting, executive, human resources, information technology, board fees and other corporate expenses paid by Optex Systems and shared across both operating segments.

Our operating loss decreased by $0.1 million, in the three months ending January 1, 2017, to ($0.1) million, as compared to the prior year period operating loss of ($0.2) million as a result of increased gross margin in our Applied Optics Center, which was partially offset by increased general and administrative spending of $0.2 million at the Optex Richardson plant driven by executive bonuses, investor relations, board fees and stock compensation cost increases over the prior year quarter. We expect continued improvements in the operating profits across both segments during the year as compared to 2016 levels as we increase revenues and gross margins across our product groups.

During the three months ending January 1, 2017 we recognized a $0.4 million gain on change in valuation of warrant liabilities. The changes in valuation on warrants are not allocated by segment as they relate to non-cash expenses which recognize fair value changes on warrants based on market changes beyond the control of the segment operating activities.

Backlog

Backlog as of January 1, 2017, was $15.2 million as compared to a backlog of $12.0 million as of October 2, 2016, representing an increase of $3.2 million or 26.7%. During the three months ending January 1, 2017, Optex Systems booked $6.7 million in new orders, representing a 71.8% increase over the booked orders of $3.9 million in the prior year quarter. The following table depicts the current expected delivery by period of all contracts awarded as of January 1, 2017 in millions of dollars:

Optex Systems - Richardson:

Backlog for our periscope product line has increased by 61.8% or $2.1 million to $5.5 million, from our ending 2016 fiscal year level of $3.4 million. Our total periscope contract awards for the three months ending January 1, 2017 totaled $3.7 million, which is a 164.2% increase as compared to $1.4 million booked in the prior year period ending December 27, 2015. Optex Systems, Inc. has experienced an increase in US government demand for laser protected periscopes in support of ongoing maintenance of US combat vehicles in addition to increased orders for foreign markets in support of Saudi Arabia’s Light Armored Vehicle, Morocco’s conversion of M1A1 vehicles to the situational awareness configuration and US Department of State Foreign Military Sales (FMS) in support of the M113 Periscope Upgrade program for Brazil.

Applied Optics Center – Dallas

During the three months ending January 1, 2017, the Applied Optics Center backlog increased by 32.3%, or $1.0 million, to $4.1 million. The Applied Optics Center booked new orders for the period of $2.5 million, an increase of 13.6% over the prior year first quarter orders of $2.2 million. Significant new orders booked during the first fiscal quarter consisted of a $0.8 million order from L-3 Communications for night vision goggle laser interference filter assemblies and purchases orders for $1.3 million against a commercial multi-year strategic supplier agreement for optical assemblies.

The Applied Optics Center also serves as a primary filter supplier to the Optex Systems – Richardson plant. During the three months ending January 1, 2017, the Applied Optex Center received intracompany orders for laser coated filters in support of the Optex periscope product line of $0.5 million, as compared to $0.2 million in the prior year quarter. The increase in intercompany orders directly supports the increases in new periscope orders booked during the quarter.

Optex Systems Holdings continues to aggressively pursue international and commercial opportunities in addition to maintaining its current footprint with U.S. vehicle manufactures, with existing as well as new product lines. We continue exploring new market opportunities for our M17 day/thermal periscopes and digital optics for commercial applications. We are also reviewing potential products, outside our traditional product lines, which could be manufactured using our current production facilities in order to capitalize on our existing capacity. Further, we continue to look for strategic businesses to acquire that will strengthen our existing product line, expand our operations, and enter new markets.

Three Months Ended January 1, 2017 Compared to the Three Months Ended December 27, 2015

Revenues. In the three months ended January 1, 2017, revenues increased by $0.3 million or 9.4% from the respective prior period in fiscal year 2016 as set forth in the table below:

	Three months ended
	(Millions)
Product Line	January 1, 2017		December 27, 2015		Variance			% Chg
Periscopes	$	1.6	$	1.6	$	-			-

Applied Optics Center - Dallas		1.5		1.0		0.5			50.0
Total Revenue	$	3.5	$	3.2	$	0.3			9.4

Revenues increased on our periscope line remained flat during the three months ended January 1, 2017 as compared to the three months ended December 27, 2015. Our first quarter revenues were lower than expected, primarily as a result of delays in new contract awards into the first quarter of fiscal year 2017. We expect our periscope revenues to increase over prior year levels in the next quarter as deliveries begin on the periscope orders booked in November 2016.

Sighting systems revenues for the three months ending January 1, 2017 decreased by ($0.2) million or (66.7%) from revenues in the prior year period. Deliveries on our current backlog for DDAN sighting systems have been rescheduled for the second half of fiscal 2017 and into 2018 pending qualification testing on changes to the product configuration, receipt of long lead materials and export licensing.

Applied Optics Center revenue increased $0.5 million or 50% during the three months ended January 1, 2017 as compared to the three months ended December 27, 2015 primarily due to increased deliveries on commercial Nightforce optical assemblies. We are currently anticipating several new orders from multiple customers for additional filters to be delivered in the second half of fiscal year 2017. We expect the optical assembly revenues to increase steadily throughout the year, as we continue to ship against existing backlog and are anticipating new orders in the near term for delivery in the second half of 2017.

Revenue on Optex other product lines remained consistent with prior year levels. We expect revenues in the other product group to increase beginning in the second fiscal quarter of 2017 as we complete first article testing and begin production on collimator assembly units for orders received two U.S. military customers in 2016.

Gross Margin. The gross margin during the period ending January 1, 2017 was 22.0% of revenue as compared to a gross margin of 14.5% of revenue for the period ending December 27, 2015. Cost of sales remained flat at $2.7 million for the current period as compared to the prior year period on increased revenues of $0.3 million. The gross margin increased by $0.3 million in the current year period to $0.7 million as compared to the prior year period of $0.4 million. We attribute the improvement in gross margin to higher revenue combined with cost efficiency improvements and changes in product mix between the respective periods.

G&A Expenses. During the three months ended January 1, 2017, we recorded operating expenses of $0.8 million as opposed to $0.7 million, during the three months ended December 27, 2015, a net increase of $0.1 million. Increased general and administrative costs during the current year period were primarily driven by increases in executive bonus pay, stock compensation expenses and higher investor relations costs in the current year quarter as compared to the prior year quarter. We expect our total fiscal year 2017 general and administrative spending to approximate the spending in fiscal year 2016.

Operating Loss. During the three months ended January 1, 2017, we recorded an operating loss of ($0.1) million, as compared to an operating loss of ($0.2) million during the three months ended December 27, 2015. The $0.1 million decreased operating loss in the current year period over the prior year period is primarily due to increased gross margin on higher revenue, partially offset by increased general and administrative costs in the current year quarter as compared to the prior year quarter.

Net Income (Loss) applicable to common shareholders. During the three months ended January 1, 2017, we recorded a net income applicable to common shareholders of $0.4 million as compared to net loss applicable to common shareholders of ($0.2) million during the three months ended December 27, 2015. The increase in net income is primarily attributable to recognition of a gain on changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities of $0.4 million combined with increased revenue and operating profit for the current year period as compared to the prior year period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of January 1, 2017, Optex Systems Holdings had working capital of $8.4 million, as compared to $8.6 million as of October 2, 2016. During the three months ended January 1, 2017, the Company experienced a net income of $0.4 million and an increase of 9.4%, or $0.3 million in revenues to $3.5 million in the current year period as compared to $3.2 million in the prior year period ending December 27, 2015. Backlog as of January 1, 2017 has increased by $3.2 million or 26.7% to $15.2 million as compared to backlog of $12.0 million as of October 2, 2016.

On August 26, 2016, we consummated a public offering of 2,291,000 Class A units consisting of common stock and warrants and 400 Class B units consisting of shares of Series C convertible stock and warrants for a total gross purchase price of $4.8 million. The net cash proceeds of the offering were $4.2 million after underwriter expenses of $0.5 million. We used $0.3 million of the proceeds for offering expenses paid by Optex Systems Holdings and $1.7 million of the proceeds for the redemption of Series A and Series B preferred shares which were a condition of the offering. The remaining $2.2 million of funds will be used to fund working capital needs to support revenue growth and acquisitions.

The Company has historically funded its operations through working capital, convertible notes, preferred stock offerings and bank debt. The Company's ability to generate positive cash flows depends on a variety of factors, including the continued development and successful marketing of the Company's products. At January 1, 2017, the Company had approximately $2.1 million in cash and an outstanding payable balance of $0.3 million against our working line of credit. The line of credit allows for borrowing up to a maximum of $2.2 million, which fluctuates based on our open accounts receivable balance. As of January 1, 2017 our outstanding accounts receivable was $1.9 million. The Company expects to continue to incur net losses into the next quarter of fiscal year 2017, but is anticipated net income for the second half of 2017 on significantly higher revenue projections. Successful transition to attaining profitable operations is dependent upon achieving a level of revenue adequate to support the Company’s cost structure. Our current backlog supports increased revenues in the second through fourth quarters of fiscal year 2017 over the first quarter levels. Management intends to manage operations commensurate with its level of working capital during the next twelve months; however, uneven revenue levels driven by changes in customer delivery demands, first article inspection requirements or other program delays could create a working capital shortfall. In the event the Company does not successfully implement its ultimate business plan, certain assets may not be recoverable.

Cash Flows for the Period from October 2, 2016 through January 1, 2017

Cash and Cash Equivalents: As of January 1, 2017, we had cash and cash equivalents of $2.1 million which representing a decrease of ($0.5) million during the three months ended January 1, 2017.

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities. Net cash used in operating activities during the three months from October 2, 2016 to January 1, 2017 totaled ($0.4) million. The primary uses of cash during the period relate to an inventory increase of ($0.4) million in support of future deliveries.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities. In the three months ended January 1, 2017, cash used in investing activities was ($0.1) million and primarily relates to the purchase of spectrophotometer equipment for use at the Applied Optics Center.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities was zero during the three months ended January 1, 2017.

Critical Policies and Accounting Pronouncements

Our significant accounting policies are fundamental to understanding our results of operations and financial condition. Some accounting policies require that we use estimates and assumptions that may affect the value of our assets or liabilities and financial results. These policies are described in “Critical Policies and Accounting Pronouncements” and Note 2 (Accounting Policies) to consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 2, 2016.

These factors include inaccurate assumptions and a broad variety of other risks and uncertainties, including some that are known and some that are not. No forward-looking statement can be guaranteed and actual future results may vary materially.

Optex Systems Holdings does not assume the obligation to update any forward-looking statement. You should carefully evaluate such statements in light of factors described in this Form 10-Q. In various filings Optex Systems Holdings has identified important factors that could cause actual results to differ from expected or historic results. You should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors. Consequently, you should not consider any such list to be a complete list of all potential risks or uncertainties.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended January 1, 2017, management performed, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the report we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management including our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Based upon the evaluation described above, our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as of January 1, 2017, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended January 1, 2017, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. In response to restatement corrections for our initial accounting treatment of warrants issued in a public offering that resulted in an amendment to the Annual Report Form 10-K for fiscal year ending October 2, 2016, as filed on December 23, 2016, we have expanded our policies and procedures to address the initial review of, and subsequent accounting treatment for our existing outstanding warrants and any future issues of complex financial instruments in accordance with the appropriate GAAP accounting guidance for complex equity and debt transactions.
