ITEM 1.01.    ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.
 
On February 1, 2007, Precision Optics Corporation, Inc. (“POCI”) entered into that certain Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with institutional and other accredited investors (the “Purchasers”) pursuant to which it sold an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares (the “Shares”) of POCI’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a price of $0.25 per share and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment) at an exercise price of $0.32 per share (subject to adjustment) (the “Warrants”). The closing of the sale of the Shares and Warrants (the “Private Placement”) occurred on February 1, 2007.
 
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, POCI has agreed to file a Registration Statement on Form SB-2 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) within forty-five days after the closing of the Private Placement to register the resale of the Shares and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. POCI has also agreed to use its commercially reasonable best efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after filing.
 
The foregoing description of the Private Placement and Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, the Registration Rights Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and the form of warrant attached hereto as Exhibit 4.2, which are incorporated herein by reference.
 
ITEM 3.02.    UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES.
 
The Private Placement resulted in gross proceeds to POCI of $2,500,000.
 
The Shares and Warrants were offered and sold in the Private Placement to certain institutional and other accredited investors without registration under the Securities Act, or state securities laws, in reliance on the exemptions provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder and in reliance on similar exemptions under applicable state laws. Accordingly, the securities issued in the Private Placement have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and until so registered, the securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or availability of an applicable exemption from registration.
 
Additional information regarding the Private Placement and the securities issued is included under Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
 
ITEM 8.01.    OTHER EVENTS.
