Management Information Statement
For Annual Meeting of Stockholders
To be held March 21, 2012

Management has furnished this statement to Stockholders regarding matters to be voted at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Opt-Sciences Corporation. The Annual Meeting will be held at 2:30 P.M. (local time) on Wednesday, March 21, 2012 at the offices of Kania, Lindner, Lasak and Feeney, in the Sinkler Building, Suite 108, 560 E. Lancaster Avenue (at the intersection with Radnor Chester Road), St. Davids, PA 19087.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS REGARDING THE INFORMATION
STATEMENT, ANNUAL REPORT AND ANNUAL MEETING

Why am I receiving these materials?

The Board of Directors of Opt-Sciences Corporation (sometimes referred to as "Opt-Sciences" or the "Company") is providing this information to you as a Stockholder of record in connection with the Opt-Sciences Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The purposes of the Annual Meeting are set forth in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and this Information Statement.

Internet Availability of the Information Statement and related Materials

We are furnishing the Information Statement and related materials to our Stockholders via the Internet, rather than mailing printed copies of those materials to each Stockholder. If you received a Notice of Internet Availability by mail, you will not also receive a printed copy of the Information Statement and related materials unless you request them. Instead, the Notice of Internet Availability will instruct you as to how you may access and review the Information Statement and related materials. If you received a Notice of Internet Availability by mail and would like to receive a printed copy of our Information Statement and related materials, please follow the instructions included in the Notice of Internet Availability.

We anticipate that the Notice of Internet Availability will be mailed to stockholders on or about February 10, 2012.

Am I entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?

You may vote if our records showed that you owned shares of Opt-Sciences Corporation as of February 3, 2012 (the "Record Date"). Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote, and a majority of the Common Stock is required to approve each proposal at the Meeting.

Stockholders of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name

If on February 3, 2012 your shares were registered directly in your name with the Company's transfer agent, Broadridge, then you are a Stockholder of record. As a Stockholder of record, although not requested to vote, you are invited to attend the Meeting.



Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker or Bank

If on February 3, 2012 your shares were held, not in your name, but rather in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, dealer or other similar organization, then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in "street name" and this Information Statement is being forwarded to you by that organization. The organization holding your account is considered the Stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the Meeting. As a beneficial owner you are invited to attend the Meeting.

Is this a Proxy Statement? No. This is not a proxy statement. We are not asking you for a proxy and you are requested not to send us a proxy.

Why am I not being asked to vote?

The Arthur J. Kania Trust owns a majority or greater than 51% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company and has advised us that it intends to provide Anderson L. McCabe and Arthur J. Kania with a proxy to vote for the reelection of the Management slate of directors and such other matters that might come before the Meeting. Such proxy is sufficient to take such actions, and so additional proxies are not needed or required for the Meeting.

What do I need to do now?

Nothing. These materials are provided to inform you and do not require or request you to do anything. WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND WE ARE REQUESTING YOU NOT TO SEND US A PROXY

VOTING SECURITIES AND RECORD DATE


The Common Stock ($0.25 par value) is the only outstanding class of voting securities. Stockholders of record at the close of business of February 3, 2012 are entitled to notice of the Meeting and to vote at the Meeting and any adjournment or postponement thereof. At the close of business on February 3, 2012, 775,585 shares of Common Stock were issued, outstanding, and entitled to vote. The holders of Common Stock will vote as one class at the Meeting. Each share of Common Stock entitles the holder at the record date to one vote at the Meeting.

PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDER AND QUORUM

A quorum of Stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present if Stockholders holding at least a majority of the outstanding shares are present at the Meeting in person or represented by proxy. On the record date, there were 775,585 shares outstanding and entitled to vote. Thus, 387,793 shares must be present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting to have a quorum. A Trust for the benefit of the children of Arthur J. Kania owns 510,853 shares (66% of the outstanding shares). Since there is no provision for cumulative voting, only the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares represented at the Meeting is required to elect directors and approve such other matters to be considered by the Stockholders. Dissenters' rights are not applicable to the matters being proposed. No party other than the Trust is known by Management to own of record or beneficially more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Company.

Mr. Kania has no voting power or investment power with respect to such securities and disclaims beneficial ownership in all such shares. Mr. McCabe, husband of a beneficiary of the first aforementioned trust, disclaims beneficial ownership in all such shares. Arthur J. Kania, Jr., a son of Arthur J.

MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

Proposal 1: Election of Directors


Three (3) directors are to be elected at the Annual Meeting and those persons elected will hold office until the next annual meeting of Stockholders or until their successors have been elected and qualified. The by-laws provide that the Board of Directors shall consist of no more than five members, with the actual number to be established by resolution of the Board of Directors. The current Board of Directors has by resolution established the number of directors at three. The Arthur J. Kania Trust has advised that it intends to give a proxy to Arthur J. Kania and Anderson L. McCabe to vote in favor of the Management slate of directors and in their discretion to vote in favor of such other matters that may properly come before the Meeting. If any of the nominees cannot serve for any reason (which is not anticipated), the Board of Directors may designate a substitute nominee or nominees. If a substitute is nominated, Mr. Kania and Mr. McCabe are expected to vote all valid proxies for the election of the substitute nominee or nominees. Alternatively, the Board of Directors may also decide to leave the board seat or seats open until a suitable candidate or candidates are located, or it may decide to reduce the size of the Board.

Any vacancy that occurs during the year may be filled by a majority vote of the Board of Directors without any further Stockholder action. The vacancy may be filled for the remainder of the term, which is until the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders. There is no reason to believe that any nominee will be unable to serve if elected, and to the knowledge of Management all nominees intend to serve the entire term for which election is sought.

The following persons have been nominated for election to the Board of Directors to succeed themselves in office:

Nominees (Age) Positions with Company, Principal Occupation and
Business Experience During Past Five Years(1)
Year First Became Director of Company
Anderson L. McCabe (56) Director of the Company; President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company 1987
Arthur J. Kania (80) Director of the Company; Secretary of Company; Principal of Trikan Associates (real estate ownership and management-investment firm); Partner of Kania, Lindner, Lasak and Feeney (law firm) 1977
Arthur J. Kania, Jr. (56) Director of the Company; Principal of Trikan Associates (real estate ownership and management-investment firm); Vice-President of Newtown Street Road Associates (real estate ownership and management) 1987

1. This column lists directorships held in any company with a class of securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or subject to the requirements of Sections 15(d) of that Act or any company registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. This column does not include directorships held with any of the Company's subsidiaries.




Directors will serve in such capacity until the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders or until their successors have been duly elected and qualified. Executive officers are elected by the Board of Directors.

Each director will be elected to serve for a one-year term, unless he resigns or is removed before his term expires, or until his replacement is elected and qualified. Each of the nominees listed above is currently a member of the Board of Directors.

INFORMATION REGARDING OFFICERS

Anderson L. McCabe, 56 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 a Process Engineer with managerial responsibilities. In 1986 he became our president. He has been director of the Company since 1987.

Arthur J. Kania, 80 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.

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 2011.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD

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 Stockholders' Meeting, and at one additional time during the Fiscal Year. Each Meeting was attended by all directors. We pay each of our Directors an 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.

We do not have a policy regarding the consideration of any director candidate which may be recommended by our Stockholders, including the minimum qualification for director candidates, nor has our Board of Directors established a process for indentifying and evaluating director nominees. We have not adopted a policy regarding the handling of any potential recommendation of director candidate by our Stockholders, including the procedures to be followed. Because our largest Stockholder holds a majority of all issued stock, we do not solicit proxies for the election of directors, since that Stockholder has the full power by its vote to elect all directors.

REMUNERATION OF DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

The following table sets forth certain summary information concerning compensation paid or accrued to its sole executive officer during the past two fiscal years. He did not receive any awards, stock awards, option compensation, non equity incentive plan earnings or non-qualified deferred compensation.

*Includes an annual retainer as Director of Company of $7,500 for both 2011 and  2010 in addition to a 401 K Contribution of $3,900 for both 2011 and 2010.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION FOR FISCAL YEAR 2011

We do not have a standard compensation arrangement for our directors, and the compensation payable to each individual for service rendered is determined by our Board of Directors based upon the amount of time expended on behalf of the Company and also, to a limited extent, the success of the Company in the prior year. The Directors do not receive any compensation other than cash compensation.They do not receive stock awards, option awards, non-equity incentive plan compensation or non-qualified deferred compensation.

The following table sets forth the compensation of our non-employee directors. Our employee director, Anderson L. McCabe, receives the same compensation as the other directors for his services as director. His director fees are included in his total compensation in the Summary Compensation Table above.

OPTION/SAR GRANTS; DEFERRED EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN; EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN

The Company does not have any deferred executive compensation plan. The Company does not have any securities authorized for issuance under an equity compensation plan.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.

During Fiscal year 2011, we incurred legal fees of $57,500 to the firm of Kania, Lindner, Lasak and Feeney, of which Arthur J. Kania is the senior partner. Mr. Kania does not share or participate in fees generated from the Company.

Arthur J. Kania is the father of Arthur J. Kania, Jr. and the father-in-law of Anderson L. McCabe. Those individuals constitute the Board of Directors. Anderson L. McCabe is the sole executive officer. Rose Sayen, an employee of Arthur J. Kania, is the Trustee of the Arthur J. Kania Trust, which is the principal stockholder of the Company.

RELATIONSHIP WITH INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

Goff, Backa, Alfera & Company, LLC has acted as independent certified public accountants for the Company since 2004. No change is presently contemplated. The Company has been advised that neither that accounting firm nor any member thereof has any direct financial interest or any material indirect interest in the Company. We do not expect a representative of Goff, Backa, Alfera & Company, LLC to be present at the Meeting or to be available for questioning at the Meeting.
