ITEM 1.
BUSINESS
Company Overview
Pro-Dex, Inc. (“Company”, “Pro-Dex”, “we”, “our”, “us”) specializes in the design, development and manufacture of
autoclavable, battery-powered and electric, multi-function surgical drivers and shavers used primarily in the orthopedic and
maxocranial facial markets. We have patented adaptive torque-limiting software and proprietary sealing solutions which appeal to
our customers, primarily medical device distributors. We also manufacture and sell rotary air motors to a wide range of industries.
Through May 2018, our Fineline Molds (“Fineline”) division, acquired in fiscal 2015, manufactured plastic injection
molding for a variety of industries. We sold the assets and business operations of our Fineline division and the assets related to that
division have been reclassified as assets held for sale on our consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2017.
Through April 2017, we provided engineering consulting and placement services, as well as quality and regulatory
consulting services through our Engineering Services Division (“ESD”). Although we continue to provide engineering, quality and
regulatory consulting services to our customers, we have ceased placement services and accordingly have disbanded our ESD
Division. The cessation of placement services did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
Through January 2017, our OMS Division designed and manufactured multi-axis motion control systems used in factory
automation and scientific research markets. We sold substantially all of the assets and the business operations of our OMS division
located in Beaverton, Oregon to our long time general manager of the division. This division has been classified as a discontinued
operation in conformity with applicable accounting guidance. Accordingly, unless otherwise indicated, OMS’s results have been
reported as discontinued operations and removed from all financial discussions of continuing operations. (See Note 3 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this report).
In fiscal 2015, we acquired Huber Precision (“Huber”), a business that made custom machined parts. We made the
investment to garner a wider customer base, but the sales to the customers that were serviced by Huber dwindled over time, such
that activities have become immaterial. As a result, the intangible assets relating to Huber were impaired during the first quarter of
fiscal 2017.

Our medical device products utilize proprietary designs developed by us primarily under exclusive development and supply
agreements and are manufactured in our Irvine, California facility, as are our dental products. Our medical device products are sold
primarily to original equipment manufacturers and our dental products are sold primarily to dental product distributors. In our San
Dimas, California facility we manufactured plastic injection molds for a wide variety of industries through May 2018, upon which
time we sold the division and terminated our obligations under the lease for the San Dimas facility. The proportion of total sales by
facility is as follows:

In fiscal 2018, our top 20 customers accounted for 97% of our sales compared to 94% in fiscal 2017. In fiscal 2018, we had
one customer, included in medical device revenue above, that accounted for 56% of sales with our next largest customer accounting
for 12% of sales. This compares to fiscal 2017, when we had one customer, included in medical device revenue above, that
accounted for 50% of our revenue and no other single customer accounted for more than 10% of our revenue. In many cases,
including our largest customers, disclosure of customer names is prohibited by confidentiality agreements with such entities. We
have no plans to discontinue the sales relationships with our existing significant customers.
2
Our business today is almost entirely driven by sales of our medical devices. Many of our significant customers place
purchase orders for specific products that were developed under various development and/or supply agreements. Our customers
may request that we design and manufacture a custom surgical device or they may hire us as a contract manufacturer to
manufacture a product of their own design. In either case, we have extensive experience with autoclavable, battery-powered and
electric, multi-function surgical drivers and shavers. We continue to focus a significant percentage of our time and resources on
providing outstanding products and service to our valued principal customers. Additionally, we continue to invest in machinery and
equipment to increase our machining through-put.
Simultaneously, we are working to build top-line sales through active proposals of new medical device products with new
and existing customers. Our patented adaptive torque-limiting software has been very well received in the CMF market and we
have continued investment in this area with research and development focused on applying this technology to thoracic surgical
applications. We invested significantly during fiscal 2018 on a thoracic driver utilizing adaptive torque-limiting software, and in
early fiscal 2019, entered a development contract with a current significant customer to private-label this driver for their unique
specifications. We anticipate sales to this existing customer will increase late in fiscal 2019 as we add this product to their existing
CMF driver and ancillary products that we currently supply.
In April 2017, we invested in Monogram Orthopaedics Inc. (“Monogram”), a medical device start-up specializing in
precision, patient-specific orthopedic implants. In conjunction with making the loan to Monogram, we were granted the exclusive
right to develop, engineer, manufacture and supply certain products on behalf of Monogram. We impaired our entire $800,000
investment during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018 due to indications that Monogram had exhausted its cash and had been unable to
obtain additional financing to enable continued research to commercialize their technology. While we do not expect to recover our
investment, if Monogram successfully raises the funds needed to commercialize their technology, we expect to generate future
revenue streams pursuant to our contractual development and supply rights with them.
The majority of the raw materials and components used to manufacture our products are purchased and are available from
several sources, including through our own in-house machining capabilities. Portescap, K-V Engineering, and Fischer Connectors
are examples of key suppliers. We have no exclusive arrangements with any of our suppliers, but in several instances only one
supplier is used for certain high-value components. In most of such instances, secondary suppliers have been identified, although it
is likely that any transition to a new or different supplier would result in a delay in the supply chain. We consider our relationships
with our suppliers and manufacturers to be good. We do not intend to terminate any such relationship at this time, nor does
management have knowledge that any supplier or manufacturer intends to terminate its relationship with us.
Our commitment to product design, manufacturing and quality systems are supported by our compliance with several
regulatory agency requirements and standards. We hold a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) Establishment Registration
and a State of California Device Manufacturing License (Department of Public Health Food and Drug Branch) with respect to our
Irvine, California facility. In addition, our Irvine, California facility is certified to ISO 13485:2003, Medical Device Directive
93/42/EEC – Annex II, and Canadian Medical Device Conformity Assessment System.
At June 30, 2018, we had a backlog of $12.3 million compared with a backlog of $8.7 million at June 30, 2017. Our
backlog represents firm purchase orders received and acknowledged from our customers and does not include all revenue expected
to be generated from existing customer contracts. Our entire backlog at June 30, 2018 is expected to be delivered during fiscal
2019. We have experienced, and may continue to experience, variability in our new order bookings due to, among other reasons,
the launch of new products, the timing of customer orders based on end-user demand, and customer inventory levels. We do not
typically experience seasonal fluctuations in our shipments and revenues.
Segments
With the sale of the OMS division during fiscal 2017, we no longer have separate reportable segments. The OMS division
was historically the only division that was significant enough to require segment disclosures and as such, effective with this
divestiture, we no longer require segment disclosure as our business is currently run.
3
Competition
The markets for products in the industries served by our customers are intensely competitive, and we face significant
competition from a number of different sources. Several of our competitors have significantly greater name recognition, as well as
substantially greater financial, technical, product development and marketing resources, than us.
We compete in all of our markets with other major medical device companies. As a provider of outsourced services, we also
compete with our customers’ own internal development and manufacturing groups. Competitive pressures and other factors, such
as new product or new technology introductions by us, our customers’ internal development and manufacturing departments, or our
competitors, may result in price or market share erosion that could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of
operations and financial condition. Also, there can be no assurance that our products and services will achieve broad market
acceptance or will successfully compete with other products targeting the same customers.
Research and Development
We conduct research and development activities to both maintain and improve our market position. Our research and
development effort involves the design and manufacture of products that perform specific applications for our existing and
prospective customers. Our research and development activities are focused on:
·
·
·
expanding our knowledge base in the medical device industry to solidify our products with current customers and expand our customer base;
advancing applicable technologies; and
enhancing our product lines.
In certain instances we may share research and development costs with our customers by billing for non-recurring
engineering services. Revenue recognized for non-recurring engineering services represented 1% and 4% of our revenue in fiscal
2018 and 2017, respectively. During recent years, we have entered into certain development and supply contracts, the development
portions of which provide for billable non-recurring engineering service fees. Such fees are recognized as revenue generally upon
milestone completion or completion of the product development services. The revenue earned during fiscal 2018 relating to non-
recurring engineering services was not material. During fiscal 2017, we completed the development of a surgical handpiece for a
customer and began shipping products to this customer. Revenue for this development contract was recorded under the milestone
completion method and we recognized revenue of $752,000 and $367,000 during fiscal 2017 and 2016, respectively. We will
continue to pursue other revenue-generating development projects and in that regard we have two such development contracts, one
executed in late fiscal 2018 and one in early fiscal 2019, expected to generate approximately $700,000 of non-recurring engineering
services revenue during fiscal 2019. Accordingly, we believe that non-recurring engineering fees could represent a greater share of
our revenue in the future, but there can be no assurance that we will be successful in these endeavors.
During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, we incurred research and development expenses amounting to $1.9
million and $1.2 million, respectively, which costs exclude labor and related expenses of approximately $46,000 and $130,000 in
fiscal 2018 and 2017, respectively, that were reimbursed by our customers through billings for non-recurring engineering services.
Employees
At June 30, 2018, we had 80 employees as well as 1 temporary employee all working at our corporate office in Irvine,
California. Since we sold our Fineline division in May 2018, we have no employees in San Dimas, California at June 30, 2018. At
June 30, 2017, we had 76 employees, comprised of 70 employees in Irvine, California and 6 in San Dimas, California, as well as 5
temporary employees working in Irvine, California. None of our employees are a party to any collective bargaining agreements
with us. We consider our relationships with our employees to be good.
4
Government Regulations
The manufacture and distribution of medical and dental devices are subject to state and federal requirements set forth by
various agencies, including the FDA, and state medical and dental boards. The statutes, regulations, administrative orders, and
advisories that affect our businesses are complex and subject to diverse, often conflicting, interpretations. While we make every
effort to maintain full compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, we are unable to eliminate the ongoing risk that one or
more of our activities or devices may at some point be determined to be non-compliant. The penalties for non-compliance could
range from an administrative warning to termination of a portion of our business. Furthermore, even if we are subsequently
determined to have fully complied with applicable laws or regulations, the costs to achieve such a determination and the
intervening loss of business could adversely affect or result in the cessation of a portion of our business. A change in such laws or
regulations at any time may have an adverse effect on our operations.
The FDA designates all medical devices into one of three classes (Class I, II or III) based on the level of control necessary
to assure the safety and effectiveness of the device (with Class I requiring the lowest level of control and Class III requiring the
greatest level of control). The surgical instrumentation we manufacture is generally classified into Class I, and our dental
instrumentation is generally classified into Class II. The FDA has broad enforcement powers to recall and prohibit the sale of
products that do not comply with federal regulations, and to order the cessation of non-compliant processes. No claim has been
made to date by the FDA regarding any of our products or processes. Nevertheless, as is common in the industry, certain of our
products and processes have been the subject of routine governmental reviews and investigations.
The total cost of providing health care services has been and will continue to be subject to review by governmental agencies
and legislative bodies in the major world markets, including the United States, which are faced with significant pressure to lower
health care costs. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act signed into law in March 2010 (the “Affordable Care Act”)
imposes a 2.3% excise tax, currently suspended until December 31, 2019, on sales of certain medical devices, some of which we
produce, that we may be unable to recover through price increases to our customers.
We believe that our business is conducted in a manner consistent with the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) and
other agency regulations governing disposition of industrial waste materials.
While we believe that our products and processes fully comply with applicable laws and regulations, we are unable to
predict the outcome of any investigation or review which may be undertaken in the future with respect to our products or processes.
Management believes that each of our facilities has manufacturing systems and processes that are based on established
Quality Management System standards. In addition, we believe that our Irvine, California facility is compliant with applicable
Good Manufacturing Practices promulgated by the FDA, and is compliant with applicable ISO standards set forth by the
International Organization for Standardization.
Patents, Trademarks and Licensing Agreements
We hold patents relating to miniature rotary drive products and torque-limiting screwdrivers. Our patents have varying
expiration dates. The near term expiration of the patents, if any, is not expected to cause any change in our revenue-generating
operations as the revenue from the products associated with those patents is not material.
We have no reason to believe that our activities infringe upon the intellectual property of any third party. With respect to our
own patents, we have no reason to believe that our patents are invalid and we believe that at least some of our patents cover certain
aspects of our products. While we are unaware of any reason that would cause us to assert or defend a claim of patent infringement,
any such assertion or defense could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations due to the costs involved.
We have certain federally registered trademarks relating to our products, including Pro-Dex®, along with a number of other
common law trademarks.
We have not entered into any franchising agreements. We have not granted nor do we hold any third-party licenses having
terms under which we earn revenue or incur expense in material amounts.

ITEM 1A.
RISK FACTORS
Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following risk factors, as
well as the other information contained in this report, before deciding whether to invest in shares of our common stock. If any of the
following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects would suffer. In that case, the
trading price of our common stock would likely decline and you might lose all or part of your investment in our common stock. The
risks described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks that we currently do not know about or that we currently
believe to be immaterial may also impair our operations and business results.
A substantial portion of our revenue is derived from a few customers. If we were to lose a key customer, it would have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In fiscal 2018, our top 20 customers accounted for 97% of our sales, with our current largest customer accounting for 56%
of our sales. This customer has made purchase commitments to us through a supply agreement to purchase surgical handpieces
through calendar 2021. The loss of this customer or any of our significant customers would severely impact us, including having a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows, revenue and results of operations.
A substantial portion of our business is derived from our core business area that, if not serviced properly, may result in a
material adverse impact upon our business, results of operations and financial condition.
In fiscal 2018, we derived 90% of our revenue from sales of our medical device products and related services. We believe
that a primary factor in the market acceptance of our products and services is the value they create for our customers. Our future
financial performance will depend in large part on our ability to continue to meet the increasingly sophisticated needs of our
customers through the timely development, successful introduction and implementation of new and enhanced products and
services, while at the same time continuing to provide the value our customers have come to expect from us. We have historically
expended a significant percentage of our revenue on product development and believe that significant continued product
development efforts will be required to sustain our growth. Continued investment in our sales and marketing efforts will also be
required to support future growth.
There can be no assurance that we will be successful in our product development efforts, that the market will continue to
accept our existing products, or that new products or product enhancements will be developed and implemented in a timely manner,
meet the requirements of our customers, or achieve market acceptance. If the market does not continue to accept our existing
products, or our new products or product enhancements do not achieve market acceptance, our business, results of operations and
financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
Our customers may cancel or reduce their orders, change production quantities or delay production, any of which would
reduce our sales and adversely affect our operating results.
Since most of our customers purchase our products from us on a purchase order basis, they may cancel, change, or delay
product purchase commitments with little notice to us. As a result, we are not always able to forecast with certainty the sales that
we will make in a given period and sometimes we may increase our inventory, working capital, and overhead in expectation of
orders that may never be placed, or, if placed, may be delayed, reduced, or canceled.
The following factors, among others, affect our ability to forecast accurately our sales and production capacity:
·
·
Changes in the specific products or quantities our customers order; and
Long lead times and advance financial commitments for components required to complete actual/anticipated customer orders.
Delayed, reduced or canceled purchase orders also may result in our inability to recover costs that we incur in anticipation
of those orders, such as costs associated with purchased raw materials and write-offs of obsolete inventory.
6
In recent years, we have launched many new medical device products and our estimates of warranty claims are based
largely on our previous history from similar legacy products. If actual warranty claims exceed our estimates, it could have
an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
We have recently completed significant medical device development projects in the craniomaxillofacial (“CMF”) surgical
segment as well as a surgical handpiece used for orthopedic applications for which we have made estimates of product warranty
claims based upon similar, legacy products. If the actual repair volumes or repair costs exceed the estimates that we have been
using, we may incur additional costs which could be materially adverse to our results of operations and financial condition.
We face significant competition from a number of different sources, which could negatively impact our results of operations
and business conditions.
The markets for products in the industries served by our customers are intensely competitive, and we face significant
competition from a number of different sources. Several of our competitors have significantly greater name recognition, as well as
substantially greater financial, technical, product development and marketing resources, than us.
We compete in all of our markets with other major surgical device and related companies. As a provider of outsourced
products and services, we also compete with our customers’ own internal development groups. Competitive pressures and other
factors, such as new product or new technology introductions by us, our customers’ internal development and manufacturing
departments, or our competitors, may result in price or market share erosion that could have a material adverse effect on our
business, results of operations and financial condition. Also, there can be no assurance that our products and services will achieve
broad market acceptance or will successfully compete with other products.
The industry in which we operate is subject to significant technological change and any failure or delay in addressing such
change could adversely affect our competitive position or could make our current products obsolete.
The medical device market is generally characterized by rapid technological change, changing customer needs, frequent
new product introductions and evolving industry standards. The introduction of products incorporating new technologies and the
emergence of new industry standards could render our existing products obsolete and unmarketable. There can be no assurance that
we will be successful in developing and marketing new products that respond to technological changes or evolving industry
standards.
New product development requires significant research and development expenditures that we have historically funded
through operations; however, we may be unable to do so in the future. Any significant decrease in revenues or research funding
could impair our ability to respond to technological advances in the marketplace and to remain competitive. If we are unable, for
technological or other reasons, to develop and introduce new products in a timely manner in response to changing market
conditions or customer requirements, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be materially adversely
affected. Although we continue to target new markets for access, develop new products, and update existing products, there can be
no assurance that we will do so successfully or that even if we are successful, such efforts will be completed concurrently with or
prior to the introduction of competing products. Any such failure or delay could adversely affect our competitive position or could
make our current products obsolete.
We rely heavily on our proprietary technology, which, if not properly protected or if deemed invalid, could have a material
adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We are dependent on the maintenance and protection of our proprietary technology and rely on patent filings, exclusive
development and supply agreements, confidentiality procedures and employee nondisclosure agreements to protect it. There can be
no assurance that the legal protections and precautions taken by us will be adequate to prevent misappropriation of our technology
or that competitors will not independently develop technologies equivalent or superior to ours. Further, the laws of some foreign
countries do not protect our proprietary rights to as great an extent as do the laws of the United States and are often not enforced as
vigorously as those in the United States.
We do not believe that our operations or products infringe on the intellectual property rights of others. However, there can
be no assurance that others will not assert infringement or trade secret claims against us with respect to our current or future
products. Assertions or claims by others, whether or not valid, could cause us to incur significant legal costs defending our
intellectual property rights and potentially require us to enter into a license agreement or royalty arrangement with the party
asserting the claim or to cease our use of the infringing technology, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our
business, results of operations and financial condition.

Two of our directors hold voting power with respect to a substantial portion of our outstanding common stock that enables
them to have significant influence over the outcome of all matters submitted to our shareholders for approval, which
influence may conflict with our interests and the interests of other shareholders.
As of August 1, 2018, two of our directors, Nicholas J. Swenson and Raymond E. Cabillot, directly or indirectly, controlled
voting power over approximately 39% (26% and 13%, respectively) of the outstanding shares of our common stock. As a result of
such voting control, these directors will have significant influence over all matters submitted to our shareholders for approval,
including the election of our directors and other corporate actions, and may have interests that conflict with our interests and the
interests of other shareholders.
If our technology infrastructure is compromised, damaged or interrupted by a cybersecurity incident, data security breach
or other security problems, our operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected.
We use technology in substantially all aspects of our business operations, and our ability to serve customers most effectively
depends on the reliability of our technology systems. We use software and other technology systems, among other things, to
generate sales orders, job orders and purchase orders and to monitor and manage our business on a day-to-day basis. Cybersecurity
incidents can include computer viruses, computer denial-of-service attacks, worms, and other malicious software programs or other
attacks, covert introduction of malware to computers and networks, impersonation of authorized users, and efforts to discover and
exploit any design flaws, bugs, security vulnerabilities or security weaknesses, as well as intentional or unintentional acts by
employees or other insiders with access privileges, intentional acts of vandalism by third parties and sabotage.
In addition, our technology infrastructure and systems are vulnerable to damage or interruption from natural disasters,
power loss and telecommunications failures. Any such disruption to our systems, or the technology systems of third parties on
which we rely, the failure of these systems to otherwise perform as anticipated, or the theft, destruction, loss, misappropriation, or
release of sensitive and/or confidential information or intellectual property, could result in business disruption, negative publicity,
loss of customers, potential liability, including litigation or other legal actions against us or the imposition of penalties, fines, fees
or liabilities, which may not be covered by our insurance policies, and competitive disadvantage, any or all of which would
potentially adversely affect our customer service, decrease the volume of our business and result in increased costs and lower
profits. Moreover, a cybersecurity breach could require us to devote significant management resources to address the problems
associated with the breach and to expend significant additional resources to upgrade further the security measures we employ to
protect information against cyber-attacks and other wrongful attempts to access such information, which could result in a disruption
of our operations.
While we have invested, and continue to invest, in technology security initiatives and other measures to prevent security
breaches and cyber incidents, as well as disaster recovery plans, these initiatives and measures may not be entirely effective to
insulate us from technology disruption that could result in adverse effects on our results of operations.
We may not be able to successfully integrate our business acquisitions, which could adversely affect our business, financial
condition, and results of operations.
We have acquired, and may acquire in the future, businesses, products, and technologies that complement or expand our
current operations. Acquisitions could require significant capital investments and require us to integrate with companies that have
different cultures, management teams, and business infrastructure. Depending on the size and complexity of an acquisition, our
successful integration of the acquisition could depend on several factors, including:
·
·
·
·
·
·
Difficulties in assimilating and integrating the operations, products, and workforce of an acquired business;
The retention of key employees;
Management of facilities and employees in separate geographic areas;
The integration or coordination of different research and development and product manufacturing facilities;
Successfully converting information and accounting systems; and
Diversion of resources and management attention from our other operations.
If market conditions or other factors require us to change our strategic direction, we may fail to realize the expected value
from one or more of our acquisitions. Our failure to successfully integrate our acquisitions or realize the expected value from past
or future acquisitions could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our quarterly results can fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter, which may negatively impact the price of our
shares and/or cause significant variances in the prices at which our shares trade.
Our sales have fluctuated in the past, and may fluctuate in the future from quarter to quarter and period to period, as a result
of a number of factors, including, without limitation: the size and timing of orders from customers; the length of new product
development cycles; market acceptance of new technologies; changes in pricing policies or price reductions by us or our
competitors; the timing of new product announcements and product introductions by us or our competitors; the financial stability of
major customers; our success in expanding our sales and marketing programs; acceleration, deferral, or cancellation of customer
orders and deliveries; changes in our strategy; revenue recognition policies in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States (“GAAP”); personnel changes; and general market and economic factors.
Because a significant percentage of our expenses are fixed, a variation in the timing of sales can cause significant
fluctuations in operating results from quarter to quarter. As a result, we believe that interim period-to-period comparisons of our
results of operations are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as indications of future performance. Further, our
historical operating results are not necessarily indicative of future performance for any particular period.
In addition, it is possible that our operating results in future quarters may be below the expectations of public market
analysts and investors. In such an event, the price of our common stock could be materially adversely affected.
Our operations are dependent upon our key personnel. If such personnel were to leave unexpectedly, we may not be able to
execute our business plan.
Our future performance depends in significant part upon the continued service of our key technical and senior management
personnel. Because we have a relatively small number of employees when compared to other companies in the same industry, our
dependence on maintaining our relationship with key employees is particularly significant. We are also dependent on our ability to
attract and retain high quality personnel, particularly in the areas of product development, operations management, marketing and
finance.
A high level of employee mobility and the aggressive recruiting of skilled personnel characterize the medical device
industry. There can be no assurance that our current employees will continue to work for us. Loss of services of key employees
could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Furthermore, we may need to
provide enhanced forms of incentive compensation to attract and retain such key personnel.
Our operations are subject to a number of complex government regulations, the violation of which could have a material
adverse effect on our business.
The manufacture and distribution of medical and dental devices are subject to state and federal requirements set forth by
various government agencies including the FDA and EPA. The statutes, regulations, administrative orders, and advisories that
affect our businesses are complex and subject to diverse, often conflicting, interpretations. While we make every effort to maintain
full compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, we are unable to eliminate the ongoing risk that one or more of our
activities may at some point be determined to be non-compliant. The penalties for non-compliance could range from an
administrative warning to termination of a portion of our business. Furthermore, even if we are subsequently determined to have
fully complied with applicable laws or regulations, the costs to achieve such a determination and the intervening loss of business
could adversely affect or result in the cessation of a portion of our business. A change in such laws or regulations at any time may
have an adverse effect on our operations.
The FDA designates all medical devices into one of three classes (Class I, II or III) based on the level of control necessary
to assure the safety and effectiveness of the device (with Class I requiring the lowest level of control and Class III requiring the
greatest level of control). The surgical instrumentation we manufacture is generally classified into Class I, and our dental
instrumentation is generally classified into Class II. The FDA has broad enforcement powers to recall and prohibit the sale of
products that do not comply with federal regulations, and to order the cessation of non-compliant processes. No claim has been
made to date by the FDA regarding any of our products or processes. Nevertheless, as is common in the industry, certain of our
products and processes are from time to time subject to routine governmental reviews and investigations. We are also subject to
EPA regulations concerning the disposal of industrial waste.
While management believes that our products and processes fully comply with applicable laws and regulations, we are
unable to predict the outcome of any such future review or investigation.
9
We face increased costs in the healthcare industry due to government reform.
Political, economic and regulatory influences are subjecting the healthcare industry to fundamental changes. The Affordable
Care Act enacted sweeping reforms to the U.S. healthcare industry, including mandatory health insurance, reforms to Medicare and
Medicaid, the creation of large insurance purchasing groups, new taxes on medical equipment manufacturers, currently suspended
through 2019, that apply to certain of our products and other significant modifications to the healthcare delivery system.
The global economic environment may impact our business, operating results or financial condition.
Changes in the global economic environment have caused, and may cause in the future, a general tightening in the credit
markets, lower levels of liquidity, increases in rates of default and bankruptcy, and extreme volatility in credit, equity and fixed
income markets. These macroeconomic developments could negatively affect our business, operating results or financial condition
should they cause, for example, current or potential customers to become unable to fund purchases of our products, in turn resulting
in delays, decreases or cancellations of purchases of our products and services, or causing the customer to not pay us or to delay
paying us for previously purchased products and services. In addition, financial institution failures may cause us to incur increased
expenses or make it more difficult either to obtain financing for our operations, investing activities (including the financing of any
future acquisitions), or financing activities. Additional economic risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we
currently deem to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results.
We face risks and uncertainties associated with potential litigation by or against us, which could have a material adverse
effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We continually face the possibility of litigation as either a plaintiff or a defendant. It is not reasonably possible to estimate
the awards or damages, or the range of awards or damages, if any, that we might incur in connection with such litigation.
Many of our products are complex and technologically advanced. Such products may, from time to time, be the subject of
claims concerning product performance and construction, including warranty claims. While we are committed to correcting such
problems as soon as possible, there is no assurance that solutions will be found on a timely basis, if at all, to satisfy customer
demands or to avoid potential claims or litigation. Also, due to the location of our facilities, as well as the nature of our business
activities, there is a risk that we could be subject to litigation related to environmental remediation claims. We maintain insurance
to protect against claims associated with the manufacture and use of our products as well as environmental pollution, but there can
be no assurance that our insurance coverage will adequately cover any claim asserted against us.
The uncertainty associated with potential litigation may have an adverse impact on our business. In particular, litigation
could impair our relationships with existing customers and our ability to obtain new customers. Defending or prosecuting litigation
could result in significant legal costs and a diversion of management’s time and attention away from business operations, either of
which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. There can be no assurance
that litigation would not result in liability in excess of our insurance coverage, that our insurance will cover such claims or that
appropriate insurance will continue to be available to us in the future at commercially reasonable rates.
We have experienced losses in the past, and we cannot be certain that we will sustain our current profitability; we may need
additional capital in the future to fund our businesses, which we may not be able to obtain on acceptable terms.
We have experienced operating losses in the past. Although we were profitable in fiscal 2018, 2017 and 2016, we incurred
pre-tax losses from continuing operations of $446,000, $755,000, and $1,903,000 in fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Our
ability to achieve or sustain profitability is based on a number of factors, many of which are out of our control, including the
material costs for our products and the demand for our products.
10
We currently anticipate that our available capital resources, including our existing cash and cash equivalents and accounts
receivable balances will be sufficient to meet our expected working capital and capital expenditure requirements as our business is
currently conducted for at least the next 12 months. We may also attempt to raise additional funds through public or private debt or
equity financings, if such financings become available on acceptable terms. We cannot be certain that any additional financing we
may need will be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable
terms, we may not be able to take advantage of opportunities, develop new products or otherwise respond to competitive pressures,
and our operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected.
We are subject to changes in and interpretations of financial accounting matters that govern the measurement of our
performance, compliance with which could be costly and time consuming.
We are subject to changes in and interpretations of financial accounting standards that govern the measurement of our
performance. Based on our reading and interpretations of relevant pronouncements, guidance, or concepts issued by, among other
authorities, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the SEC and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants,
management believes our performance, including current sales contract terms and business arrangements, has been properly
reported. However, there continue to be issued pronouncements, interpretations and guidance for applying the relevant standards to
a wide range of contract terms and business arrangements that are prevalent in the industries in which we operate. Future
interpretations or changes by the regulators of existing accounting standards or changes in our business practices may result in
future changes in our accounting policies and practices that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition, cash flows, revenue and results of operations.
Our evaluation of internal controls and remediation of potential problems is costly and time consuming and could expose
weaknesses in financial reporting.
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, requires management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our
internal control over financial reporting. This process is expensive and time consuming, and requires significant attention of
management. Management can give no assurance that material weaknesses in internal controls will not be discovered. If a material
weakness is discovered, corrective action may be time consuming and costly, and could further divert the attention of management.
The disclosure of a material weakness, even if quickly remedied, could reduce the market’s confidence in our financial statements
and harm our stock price, especially if a restatement of financial statements for past periods is required.

PROPERTIES
Our executive offices and Irvine manufacturing facility are located at 2361 McGaw Avenue, Irvine, California 92614. We
lease the 28,000 square foot facility from an unrelated third party at a current base monthly lease rate of $36,493 with 3% annual
escalations through the expiration of the lease in September 2027. The building is a one-story stand-alone structure of concrete
“tilt-up” construction, approximately 35 years old and in good condition.
Our former San Dimas office and manufacturing facility was located at 210 West Arrow Highway, Suites C & D, San
Dimas, California 91773. The 3,680 square foot facility was leased from an unrelated third party, at a base monthly lease rate of
$2,870 through May 2018, which terminated in conjunction with the sale of our Fineline division. The suites were located in a one-
story building in an approximately 35-year-old industrial office complex in fair condition.
Our Irvine facility is believed to be adequate for our expected needs. We believe each facility we leased during fiscal 2018,
is in full compliance with applicable state, EPA and other agency environmental standards.

ITEM 7.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our
Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report, as well as the Risk Factors included in
Item 1A of this report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements. (See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-
Looking Statements” included in Part 1 of this report.)
Overview
The following discussion and analysis provides information that management believes is relevant to an assessment and
understanding of our results of operations and financial condition for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017. The income
from discontinued operations included in our consolidated statement of operations relates to the sale of our OMS division, which
we sold in January 2017.
The Company, headquartered in Irvine, California, specializes in the design, development and manufacture of autoclavable,
battery-powered and electric, multi-function surgical drivers and shavers used primarily in the orthopedic, spine, and maxocranial
facial markets. We also sell rotary air motors. Our products are found in hospitals, medical engineering labs, scientific research
facilities and high-tech manufacturing operations around the world.
In addition to our principal operations described above, our Fineline division, located in San Dimas, California,
manufactured plastic injection molds for a wide variety of industries until May 2018, when we sold the division. Through April
2017, we provided engineering consulting and placement services, as well as quality and regulatory consulting services through our
ESD Division. Although we continue to provide engineering, quality and regulatory consulting services to our customers, we have
ceased placement services and accordingly have disbanded our ESD Division. The cessation of placement services did not have a
material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of our financial statements
requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and
related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience and 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.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue on product sales is recognized upon shipment to the customer when risk of loss and title transfer to the customer
and all other conditions required by GAAP, as promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in Accounting
Standards Codification (“ASC”) Section 605 “Revenue Recognition”, have been satisfied.
Revenue from billable product development service portions of development and supply contracts is generally recognized
either upon milestone completion or completion of the product development services, in conformity with ASC Section 605. We
recognize revenue that is contingent upon the achievement of a substantive milestone in its entirety in the period in which the
milestone is achieved. A milestone is considered substantive when the consideration payable to us for such milestone (i) is
consistent with our performance necessary to achieve the milestone, (ii) relates solely to our past performance and (iii) is
reasonable relative to all of the other deliverables and payments within the arrangement. In making this assessment, we consider all
facts and circumstances relevant to the arrangement, including factors such as the scientific, regulatory, commercial and other risks
that must be overcome to achieve the milestone, the level of effort and investment required to achieve the milestone and whether
any portion of the milestone consideration is related to future performance or deliverables. Accordingly, in certain cases, based
upon the evaluation of the criteria above, we record revenue upon milestone completion and in other cases revenue from product
development milestone billings to our customers is deferred until completion of all development phases or milestones.
Returns of our product for credit are not material; accordingly, we do not establish a reserve for product returns at the time
of sale.
13
We will adopt the requirements of Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with
Customers, in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The new standard will be adopted in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 using the modified
retrospective method of adoption, and we will recognize the cumulative effect of initially applying the new standard as an
adjustment to opening retained earnings as of July 1, 2018. The standard is not expected to have a material impact on our
consolidated financial statements, except for expanded disclosures related to revenue in order to comply with the new guidance.
Estimated Losses on Product Development Services
Cost and revenue estimates related to the product development service portions of development and supply contracts are
reviewed and updated quarterly. When it is probable that total costs from the development portion of such contracts will exceed
product development service revenue, the expected loss is recognized immediately in cost of sales.
Owing to the complexity of many of the contracts we have undertaken, the cost estimation process requires significant
judgment. It is based upon the knowledge and experience of our project managers, engineers, and finance professionals. Factors
that are considered in estimating the cost of work to be completed and ultimate profitability of the fixed price product development
portion of development and supply contracts include the nature and complexity of the work to be performed, availability and
productivity of labor, the effect of change orders, the availability of materials, performance of subcontractors, and expected costs
for specific regulatory approvals.
Warranties
Most of our products are sold with a warranty that provides for repairs or replacement of any defective parts for a period,
generally one to two years, after the sale. At the time of the sale, we accrue an estimate of the cost of providing the warranty based
on prior experience with such factors as return rates and repair costs, which factors are reviewed quarterly.
Warranty expenses, including changes of estimates, are included in cost of sales in our consolidated statements of
operations.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value. Reductions to estimated net
realizable value are recorded, and charged to cost of sales, when indicated based on a formula that compares on-hand quantities to
both historical usage and estimated demand over the ensuing 12 months from the measurement date.
Accounts Receivable
Trade receivables are stated at their original invoice amounts, less an allowance for doubtful portions of such accounts.
Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts based on facts and circumstances related to specific accounts, and on
historical experience related to the age of accounts. Trade receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of
trade receivables previously reserved are offset against the allowance when received.
Deferred Costs
Deferred costs reflect costs incurred related to non-recurring engineering services under the terms of the related
development and supply contracts. These costs get recorded to cost of sales in the period that the revenue is recognized pursuant to
the terms of the underlying contract with our customer.
Investments
Investments consist of marketable equity securities of publicly held companies. The investments were made to realize a
reasonable return, although there is no assurance that positive returns will be realized. Investments are marked to market at each
measurement date, with unrealized gains and losses, net of income taxes, presented as adjustments to accumulated other
comprehensive income or loss.
Long-lived Assets
We review the recoverability of long-lived assets, consisting of equipment and leasehold improvements, when events or
changes in circumstances occur that indicate carrying values may not be recoverable.
14
Equipment and leasehold improvements are recorded at historical cost and depreciation is provided using the straight-line
method over the following periods:
Equipment
Leasehold improvements
Three to ten years
Shorter of the lease term or the asset’s estimated useful life
Goodwill & Intangibles
We recorded goodwill and a trade name in conjunction with the asset purchase of Fineline during fiscal 2015. We assess the
potential impairment of goodwill and trade name on an annual basis, or more frequently if there are events or changes in
circumstances that may indicate potential impairment. Other intangibles consist of legal fees incurred in connection with patent
applications, covenant not to compete, and customer lists including backlog. The legal fees will be amortized over the estimated
product life of the underlying product related to the associated patent. The covenant not to compete and customer list including
backlog relate to assets acquired in conjunction with the purchase of Huber and Fineline and will be amortized over their estimated
useful lives or, in the case of Fineline, retired in connection with our sale of those assets.
Notes Receivable
Notes receivable are stated at unpaid principal balance and are subject to impairment losses. Management considers a note
impaired when either i) based upon current information or factors, it is probable that the principal and interest payments will not be
collected, or converted to equity, according to the terms of the secured convertible promissory note or ii) the fair market of the
underlying collateral securing the note is less than the book value of the note receivable.
Business Combinations
We allocate the fair value of purchase consideration to the tangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed and intangible assets
acquired based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair values of these
identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Such valuations require management to make significant estimates and
assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Significant estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are
not limited to, future expected cash flows, useful lives and discount rates. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon
assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may
differ from estimates. During the measurement period, which is one year from the acquisition date, we may record adjustments to
the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement
period, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to earnings.
Income Taxes
We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax
basis of our assets and liabilities, along with net operating loss and tax credit carryovers. Deferred tax assets at June 30, 2018 and
2017 consisted primarily of basis differences related to research and development tax credit utilization, intangible assets, accrued
expenses and inventories.
Significant management judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes and the recoverability of our
deferred tax assets. Such determination is based on our historical taxable income, with consideration given to our estimates of
future taxable income and the periods over which deferred tax assets will be recoverable. In evaluating our ability to recover our
deferred tax assets, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected
future taxable income and results of recent operations. The assumptions about future taxable income require significant judgment
and are consistent with the plans and estimates we are using to manage the underlying business. In evaluating the objective
evidence that historical results provide, we consider three years of cumulative operating income (loss). During fiscal 2017, we
released approximately $3.3 million of the tax effected valuation allowance, as we determined that we were more likely than not to
generate sufficient levels of profitability to realize substantially all of our deferred tax assets.

Net sales in fiscal 2018 increased by $522,000, or 2%, as compared to fiscal 2017, due primarily to an increase in medical
device sales of $1.7 million offset by a decrease in dental and component revenue of $190,000, and other revenue, consisting of the
Fineline and ESD Divisions, of $1.0 million. During fiscal 2018, sales to our largest customer increased by $1.6 million to $12.5
million, up from $10.9 million in fiscal 2017. We manufacture a surgical handpiece designed to be used in orthopedic surgery
applications for this customer and we have continued to see increased demand from this customer.
Sales of our industrial and scientific products, which consists primarily of our compact pneumatic air motors, decreased
$56,000 or 6 percent for fiscal 2018 compared to fiscal 2017. Our dental and component revenue is generated from sales to many
distributors and end-users whose purchasing activity can vary widely from year to year. These are legacy products which have not
had a product line refresh in several years. In January 2018, we sent notifications to our dental product customers that we are
discontinuing the manufacture of these products and that same month we accepted final purchase orders to be fulfilled over the next
six months. At this point we are focusing our product development and sales efforts almost exclusively on our medical device
products, which prompted our decision to terminate the sales of our dental products. The cessation of our dental line of products is
not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
16
Finally, our other revenue decreased $1.0 million in fiscal 2018 compared to the prior fiscal year and includes revenue
generated from our Fineline and ESD Divisions of $358,000 and $10,000, respectively, in fiscal 2018, representing decreases of
$598,000 and $427,000, respectively, compared to fiscal 2017. Due to declining sales of Fineline, we sold the division in May
2018. Additionally and as indicated previously, in April 2017 we made a conscious decision to disband our ESD Division due to
poor performance.
At June 30, 2018, we had a backlog of $12.3 million compared with a backlog of $8.7 million at June 30, 2017. Our
backlog represents firm purchase orders received and acknowledged from our customers and does not include all revenue expected
to be generated from existing customer contracts. Our entire backlog at June 30, 2018 is expected to be delivered during fiscal
2019. We have experienced, and may continue to experience, variability in our new order bookings due to, among other reasons,
the launch of new products, the timing of customer orders based on end-user demand and customer inventory levels. We do not
typically experience seasonal fluctuations in our shipments and revenues.

Cost of sales in fiscal 2018 decreased $235,000, or 2%, from fiscal 2017, due to a $693,000 decrease in product costs offset
by an increase in under-absorption of manufacturing overhead of $207,000, inventory and warranty charges of $168,000, and
accrued losses on product development services of $83,000. The decrease in product costs is due in large part to savings made by a
full year of in-sourcing previously out-sourced manufactured parts. Our gross margin increased from 33 percent in fiscal 2017 to 35
percent in fiscal 2018, largely due to these savings. During fiscal 2018, we accrued $83,000 for losses from the development
services portion of certain contracts compared to none in fiscal 2017. Under-absorption of manufacturing costs increased by
$207,000 for fiscal 2018 compared to fiscal 2017, due primarily to adjustments to our standard labor and overhead rates at the
beginning of fiscal 2018 in anticipation of higher manufacturing volumes. Costs related to inventory and warranty charges
increased $168,000 in fiscal 2018 compared to 2017, due primarily to $154,000 in increased warranty expenses and an increase of
$14,000 in inventory charges.

Selling expenses for Pro-Dex Irvine during fiscal 2018 increased $14,000, or 7%, compared to fiscal 2017, mostly due to
increased commission expense. As previously discussed, we disbanded our ESD division during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017
due to poor performance. Our Fineline division was sold in May 2018, and the increase in selling expenses in fiscal 2018 of
$21,000 is due to the broker commission recorded on the sale offset by one less month’s typical expenses.
General and administrative expenses (“G&A”) consist of salaries and other personnel-related expenses for corporate,
accounting, finance and human resource personnel, as well as costs for outsourced information technology services, professional
fees, directors’ fees and costs associated with being a public company. The $242,000 decrease in G&A expenses from fiscal 2017
to 2018 is due primarily to reduced fiscal 2018 bonus accruals offset by increased stock compensation expense resulting from
performance stock awards granted during fiscal 2018 (see Note 11 of the Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere in
this report).
The fiscal 2018 asset impairment charges relate to the impairment of our investment in Monogram in the amount of
$800,000 (see Note 8 of the Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this report) as well as impairment of
goodwill and intangible assets related to Fineline as a result of our impairment test (see Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements contained elsewhere in this report). The fiscal 2017 asset impairment charges relates to impairment of the Huber
customer list.
Research and development costs consist of salaries and other personnel-related costs of our product development and
engineering personnel, related professional and consulting fees, and costs related to intellectual property, laboratory usage,
materials, and travel and related costs incurred in the development and support of our products. The increase in research and
development costs of $668,000 in fiscal 2018 as compared to fiscal 2017 relates primarily to the R&D efforts related to a new
thoracic driver utilizing adaptive torque-limiting software.
Other Income (Expense)
Our other income primarily relates to $199,000 of interest income earned related to our investment in a hotel through the
Participation Agreement more fully described in Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this
report.
Income Taxes
The effective tax rate for the year ended June 30, 2018 is nearer the statutory rates, which represent a blended rate for the
rates in existence before and after the December 22, 2017 adoption of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The effective tax rate for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 was significantly lower than the statutory rate primarily because we released a valuation allowance
during the year in the amount of $3.3 million. Management concluded that it was more likely than not that substantially all of our
deferred tax assets will be realized, in part because in fiscal 2017 we achieved three years of cumulative pre-tax income and we had
and continue to have forecasted future income.
The $2.1 million of income tax benefit recorded to continuing operations for fiscal 2017 consists of the $3.3 million benefit
from the reduction of the valuation allowance, including $2.4 million federal benefit and $900,000 state benefit net of federal
impact, offset by $900,000 of federal and state income taxes on current year income from continuing operations and by
approximately $300,000 of tax expense for a reduction of state tax losses recorded in prior years.

Cash provided by operating activities during fiscal 2018 relates primarily to our net income of $1.6 million and non-cash
asset impairment charge of $1.0 million, the non-cash decrease in deferred income taxes of $391,000, and non-cash depreciation
and amortization and stock compensation expense of $557,000 and $194,000, respectively, offset by an increase in inventory in the
amount of $1.3 million, due to projected increased demand from our largest customer. Offsetting the use of cash for inventory
purchases, our accounts receivable decreased by $569,000 and our income taxes payable increased by $123,000.
Cash provided by operating activities during fiscal 2017 was $3.2 million and relates primarily to our net income of $5.1
million offset by the non-cash increase in the deferred income tax receivables of $2.0 million due to the current year reversal of the
valuation allowance. The changes in operating assets and liabilities net to a decrease of approximately $125,000.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities in fiscal 2018 was $4.1 million and related to the $1,150,000 Participation Agreement
and the additional $350,000 investment made in Monogram more fully described in Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements contained elsewhere in this report. In addition, we invested $923,000 in equipment and $1.7 million in marketable
equity securities during the fiscal year.
Net cash used in investing activities in fiscal 2017 was $1.0 million. During the 2017 fiscal year, we invested $663,000 in
the purchase of marketable equity securities under the direction of the Investment Committee of our Board, made capital
expenditures in the amount of $606,000 primarily for manufacturing equipment and invested $450,000 in Monogram as further
described in Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this report. We also sold our OMS division in
January 2017 for proceeds of $636,000.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
During fiscal 2018, we generated $2.3 million in cash from financing activities through sales of our common stock under
our ATM program more fully described in Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this report. We
also spent $220,000 on the repurchase of 33,026 shares of our common stock pursuant to the share repurchase program described in
more detail below.
During fiscal 2017, we borrowed and repaid the principal amount of $600,000 from Summit Financial Resources LP
(“Summit”) and we spent $312,000 on the repurchase of 63,496 shares of our common stock, pursuant to our share repurchase
program.
19
Liquidity Requirements for the Next 12 Months
As of June 30, 2018, our working capital was $13.7 million. We currently believe that our existing cash and cash equivalent
balances, together with our account receivable balances, will provide us sufficient funds to satisfy our cash requirements as our
business is currently conducted for at least the next 12 months. In addition to our cash and cash equivalent balances, we expect to
derive a portion of our liquidity from our cash flows from operations. We may also borrow against our $2.0 million Revolving
Loan with Minnesota Bank & Trust (See Note 15 of Notes to Consolidated Financial statements contained elsewhere in this report).
We are focused on preserving our cash balances by monitoring expenses, identifying cost savings, and investing only in
those development programs and products that we believe will most likely contribute to our profitability. As we execute our current
strategy, however, we may require debt and/or equity capital to fund our working capital needs and requirements for capital
equipment to support our manufacturing and inspection processes. In particular, we have experienced negative operating cash flow
in the past, especially as we procure long-lead time materials to satisfy our backlog, which can be subject to extensive variability.
We believe that if we need to raise additional capital to fund our operations, we can do so by selling additional shares of our
common stock through our ATM.
Surplus Capital Investment Policy
During fiscal 2013, our Board approved a Surplus Capital Investment Policy (the “Policy”) that provides, among other
items, for the following:
(a) Determination by our Board of Directors of (i) our surplus capital balance and (ii) the portion of such surplus capital balance to be invested
according to the Policy;
Selection of an Investment Committee responsible for implementing the Policy; and
(b)
(c) Objectives and criteria under which investments may be made.
The Investment Committee is comprised of Messrs. Swenson (Chair), Cabillot and Van Kirk.
The Investment Committee approved each of the investments comprising the $2.2 million of marketable public equity
securities held at June 30, 2018, which amount includes unrealized holding losses in the amount of $153,000 at June 30, 2018.
In September 2013, our Board approved a share repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase up to 750,000
shares of our common stock under parameters to be determined by the Investment Committee. In accordance with, and as part of,
this share repurchase program, our Board has approved the adoption of several prearranged share repurchase plans intended to
qualify for the safe harbor Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“10b5-1 Plan” or “Plan”). During
the quarter ended September 30, 2016, our Board approved a 10b5-1 Plan, which became effective on September 8, 2016 and
terminated on the earlier of September 8, 2017 or when and if the maximum shares were repurchased. During the quarter ended
December 31, 2016, the Investment Committee of our Board approved an additional concurrently running 10b5-1 Plan, which
became effective on December 8, 2016 and terminated on the earlier of December 8, 2017 or when and if the maximum shares
were repurchased. In February 2017 our Board terminated the two effective 10b5-1 Plans in conjunction with the approval of the
Company’s ATM (described further in Note 14 of Notes to Consolidated Financial statements contained elsewhere in this report).
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, we repurchased 63,496 shares at an aggregate cost of $312,000, inclusive of fees under
the Plans.
On March 9, 2018, the Investment Committee of our Board approved a 10b5-1 Plan, which became effective on March 14,
2018 and terminates on the earlier of March 13, 2019 or when and if the maximum shares are repurchased. During the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2018, we repurchased 33,026 shares at an aggregate cost, inclusive of fees under the plan of $220,000. On a
cumulative basis, we have repurchased a total of 265,983 shares under the share repurchase program at an aggregate cost of $1.1
million. All repurchases under the 10b5-1 Plans were administered through an independent broker.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers,
which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers
and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. ASU 2014-09 requires an entity to
recognize revenue depicting the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the
entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 also requires enhanced revenue-related
disclosures. Application of the guidance in ASU 2014-09 is expected to require more judgment and estimates within the revenue
recognition process compared to existing GAAP. We primarily sell finished products and recognize revenue at point of sale or
delivery and this is not expected to change under the new standard. We also perform services when we are engaged to design a
product for a customer. Typically, in those cases we have historically deferred revenue until project or milestone completion. Under
the new standard we expect that revenue may be earned throughout the process using an over-time revenue recognition model. The
new standard will be adopted in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 using the modified retrospective method of adoption, and we will
recognize the cumulative effect of initially applying the new standard as an adjustment to opening retained earnings as of July 1,
2018. The standard is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements, except for expanded
disclosures related to revenue in order to comply with the new guidance.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, (Topic 842) Leases. The objective of this update is to increase
transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and
disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018,
including interim periods within those annual periods and is to be applied utilizing a modified retrospective approach. However, the
FASB issued ASU 2018-11 on July 30, 2018, which allows entities to apply the provisions of ASC 842 at the effective date without
adjusting comparative periods. While we are still in the process of evaluating the effect of adoption on our consolidated financial
statements and are currently assessing our leases, we expect the adoption will lead to a material increase in the assets and liabilities
recorded on our consolidated balance sheet.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Classification of Certain Cash
Receipts and Cash Payments. This update provides guidance on eight specific cash flow issues: (1) debt prepayment or debt
extinguishment costs; (2) settlement of zero-coupon bonds; (3) contingent consideration payments made after a business
combination; (4) proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; (5) proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life
insurance policies, including bank-owned life insurance policies; (6) distributions received from equity method investees; (7)
beneficial interests in securitization transactions; and (8) separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance
principle. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after
December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the application of this guidance to have a material impact on our
consolidated financial statements.
In May 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2017-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718):
Scope of Modification Accounting (“ASU 2017-09”). The update provides guidance as to which changes to the terms or conditions
of a share-based payment award should be accounted for as a modification under Topic 718. Specifically, an entity would not apply
modification accounting if the fair value, vesting conditions, and classification of an award as an equity or liability instrument are
the same immediately before and after the modification. The standard is effective for the Company for annual periods beginning
after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted and prospective application is required. The Company does not expect the
adoption of ASU 2017-09 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of
Pro-Dex, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Pro-Dex, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30,
2018 and 2017, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows
for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2018, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated
financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated
financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2018 and 2017, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for
the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with
the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to
the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether
due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over
financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting 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 such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements,
whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures to respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test
basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the
consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

1.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
We specialize in the design, development and manufacture of autoclavable, battery-powered and electric, multi-function
surgical drivers and shavers used primarily in the orthopedic and maxocranial facial markets. We have patented adaptive torque-
limiting software and proprietary sealing solutions which appeal to our customers, primarily medical device distributors. We also
manufacture and sell rotary air motors to a wide range of industries.
Our Fineline Molds division (“Fineline”), acquired in fiscal 2015, manufactured plastic injection molding for a variety of
industries. As disclosed in a Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 30, 2018, we sold substantially all of the assets of Fineline on
May 23, 2018. The assets relating to Fineline have been reclassified as held for sale in the accompanying June 30, 2017
Consolidated Balance Sheet. Management reviewed ASU 2014-08 Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disposals of
Components of an Entity and concluded that the sale of Fineline does not require treatment as a discontinued operation because it is
was not a material part of our operations.
In fiscal 2015, we acquired Huber Precision (“Huber”), a business that made custom machined parts. We made the
investment to garner a wider customer base, but the sales to the customers that were serviced by Huber dwindled over time, such
that activities became immaterial. As a result, the intangibles relating to Huber were impaired during the first quarter of fiscal 2017.
Through January, 2017, we also designed and manufactured multi-axis motion control systems used in factory automation
and scientific research markets and these products can be found in scientific research facilities and high tech manufacturing
operations around the world. (See Note 3.)
Through April, 2017, we provided engineering consulting and placement services, as well as quality and regulatory
consulting services through our Engineering Services Division (“ESD”). Although we continue to provide engineering, quality and
regulatory consulting services to our customers, we have ceased placement services and accordingly have disbanded our ESD
Division. The cessation of placement services did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The summary of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist the reader in understanding our
consolidated financial statements. Such financial statements and related notes are the representations of management, who is
responsible for their integrity and objectivity. In the opinion of management, these accounting policies conform to accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) in all material respects, and have been consistently applied
in preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company. The wholly owned subsidiaries, Pro-Dex
Sunfish Lake, LLC and Pro-Dex Riverside, LLC, both Delaware limited liability companies, were legally dissolved during fiscal
2018. There are no inter-company accounts or transactions.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue on product sales is recognized upon shipment to the customer when risk of loss and title transfer to the customer
and all other conditions required by GAAP, as promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) in Accounting
Standards Codification (ASC) Section 605 Revenue Recognition, have been satisfied.
Revenue from billable product development service portions of development and supply contracts is generally recognized
either upon milestone completion or completion of the product development services, in conformity with ASC Section 605. We
recognize revenue that is contingent upon the achievement of a substantive milestone in its entirety in the period in which the
milestone is achieved. A milestone is considered substantive when the consideration payable to us for such milestone (i) is
consistent with our performance necessary to achieve the milestone, (ii) relates solely to our past performance and (iii) is
reasonable relative to all of the other deliverables and payments within the arrangement. In making this assessment, we consider all
facts and circumstances relevant to the arrangement, including factors such as the scientific, regulatory, commercial and other risks
that must be overcome to achieve the milestone, the level of effort and investment required to achieve the milestone and whether
any portion of the milestone consideration is related to future performance or deliverables. Accordingly, in certain cases, based
upon the evaluation of the criteria above, we record revenue upon milestone completion and in other cases revenue from product
development milestone billings to our customers is deferred until completion of all development phases or milestones.
29
PRO-DEX, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Returns of our product for credit are minimal; accordingly, we do not establish a reserve for product returns at the time of
sale.
We will adopt the requirements of Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with
Customers, in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The new standard will be adopted in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 using the modified
retrospective method of adoption, and we will recognize the cumulative effect of initially applying the new standard as an
adjustment to opening retained earnings as of July 1, 2018. The standard is not expected to have a material impact on our
consolidated financial statements, except for expanded disclosures related to revenue in order to comply with the new guidance.
Estimated Losses on Product Development Services
Cost and revenue estimates related to the product development service portions of development and supply contracts are
reviewed and updated quarterly. When it is probable that total costs from the development portion of such contracts will exceed
product development service revenue, the expected loss is recognized immediately in cost of sales. Contract costs include all direct
material, labor and those indirect costs related to contract performance.
Due to the complexity of many of the contracts we have undertaken, the cost estimation process requires significant
judgment. It is based upon the knowledge and experience of our project managers, engineers, and finance professionals. Factors
that are considered in estimating the cost of work to be completed and ultimate profitability of the fixed price product development
portion of development and supply contracts include, among others, the nature and complexity of the work to be performed,
availability and productivity of labor, the effect of change orders, the availability of materials, performance of subcontractors, and
expected costs for specific regulatory approvals.
Warranties
Certain of our products are sold with a warranty that provides for repairs or replacement of any defective parts for a period,
generally one to two years, after the sale. At the time of the sale, we accrue an estimate of the cost of providing the warranty based
on prior experience with such factors as return rates and repair costs, which factors are reviewed quarterly.
The warranty accrual is based on historical costs of warranty repairs and expected future identifiable warranty expenses, and
is included in accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Warranty expenses are included in cost of sales
in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Changes in estimates to previously established warranty accruals result
from current period updates to assumptions regarding repair costs and warranty return rates, and are included in current period
warranty expense.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of ninety days or less to be cash equivalents. At June 30,
2018 and 2017, cash equivalents consisted of investments in money market funds.
Accounts Receivable
Trade receivables are stated at their original invoice amounts, less an allowance for doubtful portions of such accounts.
Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts based on facts and circumstances related to specific accounts and on
historical experience related to the age of accounts. Trade receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of
trade receivables previously reserved are offset against the allowance when received.
Deferred Costs
Deferred costs reflect costs incurred related to non-recurring engineering services under the terms of the related
development and supply contracts. These costs get recorded to cost of sales in the period that the revenue is recognized pursuant to
the terms of the underlying contract with our customer.

PRO-DEX, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value. Cost includes materials, labor
and manufacturing overhead related to the purchase and production of inventories. Reductions to estimated market value are
recorded, and charged to cost of sales, when indicated based on a formula that compares on-hand quantities to both historical usage
and estimated demand over the ensuing 12 months from the measurement date. On an on-going basis, we evaluate inventory for
obsolescence and slow-moving items. This evaluation includes analysis of historical sales and usage, existing demand, as well as
specific factors known to management. As of June 30, 2018, there was approximately $301,000 of inventory in-transit.
Investments
Investments at June 30, 2018 and 2017 consist of marketable equity securities of publicly held companies. The investments
were made to realize a reasonable return, although there is no assurance that positive returns will be realized. Investments are
marked to market at each measurement date, with unrealized gains and losses, net of income taxes, presented as adjustments to
accumulated other comprehensive income or loss.
Long-lived Assets
We review the recoverability of long-lived assets, consisting of equipment and leasehold improvements, when events or
changes in circumstances occur that indicate carrying values may not be recoverable.
Equipment and leasehold improvements are recorded at historical cost and depreciation is provided using the straight-line
method over the following periods:
Equipment
Leasehold improvements
Three to ten years
Shorter of the lease term or the asset’s estimated useful life
Goodwill & Intangibles
We recorded $353,000 of goodwill and $54,000 of trade name in conjunction with the asset purchase of Fineline during the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2015. Accordingly, subsequent to the measurement period described below under “Business
Combinations,” we assess potential impairment of goodwill and trade name annually, or more frequently if there are events or
changes in circumstances that may indicate potential impairment. Intangibles consist of legal fees incurred in connection with
patent applications, capitalized software development costs, covenant not to compete, trade name, and customer lists including
backlog. Certain of the patent costs are being amortized over a period of seven years, the estimated life of the product that is
currently utilizing the patented technology. The remaining patent costs will be amortized over the estimated life of the product(s)
that will be utilizing the technology, or expensed immediately in the event the patent office denies the issuance of the patent. The
covenant not to compete and customer list including backlog relate to assets acquired in conjunction with the purchase of Huber
and Fineline and will be amortized over their estimated useful lives or, in the case of Fineline, retired in connection with our sale of
those assets. The expense associated with the amortization of the covenants not to compete and customer list is recognized in
selling expenses.
Business Combinations
We allocate the fair value of purchase consideration to the tangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed and intangible assets
acquired based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair values of these
identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Such valuations require management to make significant estimates and
assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Significant estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are
not limited to, future expected cash flows, useful lives and discount rates. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon
assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may
differ from estimates. During the measurement period, which is one year from the acquisition date, we may record adjustments to
the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement
period, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to earnings. There were no business acquisitions during fiscal 2018 and 2017.
31
PRO-DEX, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Notes Receivable
Notes receivable are stated at unpaid principal balance and are subject to impairment losses. Management considers a note
impaired when either i) based upon current information or factors it is probable that the principal and interest payments will not be
collected, or converted to equity, according to the terms of the secured convertible promissory note or ii) the fair market of the
underlying collateral securing the note is less than the book value of the note receivable.
Income Taxes
We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax
basis of our assets and liabilities along with net operating losses and tax credit carryovers. Deferred tax assets at both June 30, 2018
and 2017 consisted primarily of basis differences related to research and development tax credit utilization, accrued expenses,
inventories and intangible assets.
Significant management judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes and the recoverability of
deferred tax assets. Such determination is based on historical taxable income, with consideration given to estimates of future
taxable income and the periods over which deferred tax assets will be recoverable. We record a valuation allowance against
deferred tax assets to reduce the net carrying value to an amount that we believe is more likely than not to be realized. When we
establish or reduce the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, the provision for income taxes will increase or decrease,
respectively, in the period such determination is made.
Uncertain Tax Positions
We record uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740 on the basis of a two-step process whereby (1) we determine
whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2)
for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, we recognize the largest amount of tax benefit that
is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.
Shipping and Handling
Payments from customers for shipping and handling are included in net sales. Shipping expenses, consisting primarily of
payments made to freight companies, are included in cost of sales.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents, and trade
receivables. We place our cash and cash equivalents with major financial institutions. At June 30, 2018 and 2017, and throughout
the fiscal years then ended, we had deposits in excess of federally insured limits. Credit sales are made to original equipment
manufacturers and resellers throughout the world, and sales to such customers account for a substantial portion of our trade
receivables. While such receivables are not collateralized, we evaluate their collectability based on several factors including
customers’ payment histories.
Compensation Plans
We recognize compensation expense for the share-based awards under ASC 718 Compensation-Stock Compensation by
estimating their fair value using a Monte Carlo simulation. The fair value using a Monte Carlo simulation model is affected by
assumptions regarding a number of complex judgments including expected stock price volatility, risk free interest rates, and the
forecasted future value and trading volume of our stock. The awards are considered granted for accounting purposes on the date the
awards were approved by the Compensation Committee and we recognize compensation expense, based on the estimated fair value
of the award, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.
32
PRO-DEX, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Our operations are affected by numerous factors including market acceptance of our products, changes in technologies, and
new laws, government regulations and policies. We cannot predict what impact, if any, the occurrence of these or other events
might have on our operations. Significant estimates and assumptions made by management include, but are not limited to, revenue
recognition, share-based compensation, the allowance for doubtful accounts, accrued warranty expense, inventory valuation, the
carrying value of long-lived assets, the recoverability of notes receivable and the recovery of deferred income tax assets.
Basic and Diluted Per Share Information
Basic per share amounts are computed on the basis of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during
each period presented. Diluted per share amounts assume the exercise of all potential common stock equivalents, consisting solely
of options to purchase common stock as discussed in Note 11, unless the effect of such exercise is to increase income, or decrease
loss, per common share.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is measured based on the prices that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements are based on a three-tier hierarchy that
prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in
active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable;
and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its
own assumptions.
Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents is considered to be representative of their fair
values based on the short term nature of these instruments. As such, cash and cash equivalents are classified within Level 1 of the
valuation hierarchy.
Investments: Investments consist of marketable equity securities of publicly held companies. As such, investments are
classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.
Notes receivable: This investment is classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy for purposes of evaluating potential
impairment of these assets as of June 30, 2018. The fair value of the notes receivable was based upon the cost basis of the
investment as well as our internal assessment of the value of the underlying collateral.
Although the methods above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of the net realizable value or
reflective of future fair values, we believe our valuation methods are appropriate.
Advertising
Advertising costs are charged to selling or general and administrative expense as incurred and amounted to $36,000 and
$3,000 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

PRO-DEX, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Recent Accounting Standards
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers,
which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers
and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. ASU 2014-09 requires an entity to
recognize revenue depicting the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the
entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 also requires enhanced revenue related
disclosures. Application of the guidance in ASU 2014-09 is expected to require more judgment and estimates within the revenue
recognition process compared to existing GAAP. We primarily sell finished products and recognize revenue at point of sale or
delivery and this is not expected to change under the new standard. We also perform services when we are engaged to design a
product for a customer. Typically, in those cases we have historically deferred revenue until project or milestone completion. Under
the new standard we expect that revenue may be earned throughout the process using an over-time revenue recognition model. The
new standard will be adopted in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 using the modified retrospective method of adoption, and we will
recognize the cumulative effect of initially applying the new standard as an adjustment to opening retained earnings as of July 1,
2018. The standard is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements, except for expanded
disclosures related to revenue in order to comply with the new guidance.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, (Topic 842) Leases. The objective of this update is to increase
transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and
disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018,
including interim periods within those annual periods and is to be applied utilizing a modified retrospective approach. However, the
FASB issued ASU 2018-11 on July 30, 2018, which allows entities to apply the provisions of ASC 842 at the effective date without
adjusting comparative periods. While we are still in the process of evaluating the effect of adoption on our consolidated financial
statements and are currently assessing our leases, we expect the adoption will lead to a material increase in the assets and liabilities
recorded on our consolidated balance sheet.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash
Receipts and Cash Payments. This update provides guidance on eight specific cash flow issues: (1) debt prepayment or debt
extinguishment costs; (2) settlement of zero-coupon bonds; (3) contingent consideration payments made after a business
combination; (4) proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; (5) proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life
insurance policies, including bank-owned life insurance policies; (6) distributions received from equity method investees; (7)
beneficial interests in securitization transactions; and (8) separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance
principle. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after
December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the application of this guidance to have a material impact on our
consolidated financial statements.
In May 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2017-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718):
Scope of Modification Accounting (“ASU 2017-09”). The update provides guidance as to which changes to the terms or conditions
of a share-based payment award should be accounted for as a modification under Topic 718. Specifically, an entity would not apply
modification accounting if the fair value, vesting conditions, and classification of an award as an equity or liability instrument are
the same immediately before and after the modification. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15,
2017. Early adoption is permitted and prospective application is required. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-09 to have a
material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, which
states that inventory should be measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is defined as estimated
selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. We
adopted the provisions of ASU 2015-11 effective July 1, 2017, applied prospectively. The adoption has not had a material impact
on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
34
PRO-DEX, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In January 2017, the FASB issued its final standard on simplifying the test for goodwill impairment. This standard, issued as
ASU 2017-04, eliminates step 2 from the goodwill impairment test and instead requires an entity to perform its annual or interim
goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge would be
recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value. This update is effective for annual
or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We adopted
this guidance during the second quarter of fiscal 2018, in conjunction with the performance of our goodwill impairment test.
Reclassifications
As described in more detail in Note 1 above, the assets relating to our Fineline division have been reclassified as assets held
for sale in accordance with applicable accounting guidance. These balance sheet reclassifications had no impact on our
consolidated statement of operations.
We have reclassified the gain on disposal of equipment to operating income (expense) as prescribed by GAAP. This
reclassification has no impact on our net income.
We have changed the allowance for doubtful accounts adjustment to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating
activities to bad debt expense (recovery) as prescribed by GAAP. This reclassification has no impact on net cash provided by or
used in operating activities.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On January 27, 2017, we sold substantially all of the assets and the business operations of our OMS division located in
Beaverton Oregon. We sold the business to our long time general manager of the division. The sale was structured as an asset sale
as disclosed in a Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 30, 2017. The aggregate sales price received was $636,000, and no
liabilities other than warranty obligations were assumed by the buyer. As a result of the sale, this division has been classified as a
discontinued operation in conformity with applicable accounting guidance. Accordingly, unless otherwise indicated, OMS’s results
have been reported as discontinued operations and removed from all financial discussions of continuing operations.
The divestiture was completed in support of raising capital to invest in our core medical device product development
efforts.
Operating results of the OMS division are as follows (in thousands):

revenues, as well as other fixed costs to the extent that such costs will be eliminated as a result of the sale. The Company
historically did not allocate corporate overhead to this division. Additionally, the OMS division has historically been the only
division that was significant enough to require segment disclosures and as such, effective with this divestiture, we no longer require
segment disclosure as our business is currently run.

GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS OF FINELINE
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets from the Fineline
acquisition. Indefinite-lived intangibles are intangible assets whose useful lives are indefinite in that their lives extend beyond the
foreseeable horizon – that is there is no foreseeable limit on the period of time over which they are expected to contribute to the
cash flows of the reporting entity. The amounts included in the table below were included in assets held for sale on the June 30,
2017 Consolidated Balance Sheet. We account for these items in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350
Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, which requires that impairment testing for goodwill is performed at least annually at the
reporting unit level. A reporting unit is an operating segment or one level below an operating segment (also known as a
component). We have historically performed our annual impairment test as of January 31st of each year. However, we performed an
impairment analysis as of December 31, 2017 because of declining Fineline revenue as well as the lapse of many outstanding
Fineline proposals/bids, which indicated to us that the fair value of the Fineline reporting unit may be below its carrying value.
The following table presents the changes in the carrying amount of the Fineline goodwill, customer list, covenant not to
compete and trade name (in thousands):

The valuation methods utilized to value the long-lived assets and the goodwill discussed above are based on both a market
approach and an income approach. The market approach relies on guideline public company and transaction methods which
incorporates revenue and earnings multiples from publicly traded companies with operations and other characteristics similar to
Fineline. The selected multiples consider Fineline’s relative size and risks relative to the selected publicly traded companies. The
income approach incorporates a discounted cash flow analysis based on the amount and timing of expected future cash flows and
growth rates and include a determination of an appropriate discount rate. The cash flows utilized in the discounted cash flow
analyses were based on financial forecasts developed internally by management. Estimating future cash flows requires significant
judgment and projections may vary from the cash flows eventually realized. Determining the fair value using a discounted cash
flow method requires significant estimates and assumptions, including market conditions, discount rates, and long-term projections
of cash flows. The Company’s estimates are based upon historical experience, current market trends, projected future volumes and
other information. The Company believes that the estimates and assumptions underlying the valuation methodology are reasonable;
however, different estimates and assumptions could result in a different estimate of fair value.

INCOME TAXES
On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) was enacted into law. The new legislation represents a
fundamental and dramatic shift in US taxation. The new legislation contains several key tax provisions that will impact us
including the reduction of the corporate income tax rate to 21% effective January 1, 2018. The new legislation also included a
variety of other changes including but not limited to a limitation on the deductibility of interest expense, acceleration of business
asset expensing and reduction in the amount of executive pay that could qualify as a tax deduction. The provision (benefit) for
income taxes from continuing operations consists of the following amounts (in thousands):

On December 22, 2017, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”) which addresses income tax
accounting implications of the Tax Act. The purpose of the SAB 118 was to address any uncertainty or diversity of view in
applying ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, in the reporting period in which the Tax Act was enacted. SAB 118 provides a
measurement period that should not extend beyond one year from the Tax Act enactment date for companies to complete the
accounting under ASC 740. Due to the timing of the enactment and the complexity involved in applying the provisions of the Tax
Act, we have made reasonable estimates of the effects and recorded provisional amount in our financial statements as of June 30,
2018. We expect that the completion of our accounting analysis will not have a material impact in our deferred tax assets and
liabilities or our effective tax rate.

Realization of our deferred tax assets is dependent upon future earnings, if any, the timing and amount of which are
uncertain. As of June 30, 2018, our deferred tax asset valuation allowance primarily consists of unrealized capital loss for
investments held and the state net operating loss carryforwards for states in which we have filed a final return. For the year ended
June 30, 2018, the Company recorded a net valuation allowance of $279,000, on the basis of management’s reassessment of the
amount of its deferred tax assets that are more likely than not to be realized.
As of June 30, 2018, we did not have any net operating losses for federal and state income tax purposes for state
jurisdictions in which we currently operate. We have federal research and development and alternative minimum tax credit carry
forwards at June 30, 2018 of approximately $877,000, which begin to expire in 2027. State tax research credit carry forwards at
June 30, 2018 amount to $640,000, the majority of which do not expire.
As of June 30, 2018, we have accrued $462,000 of unrecognized tax benefits related to federal and state income tax matters
that would reduce our income tax expense if recognized. If we are eventually able to recognize our uncertain tax positions, our
effective tax rate would be reduced. Any adjustment to our uncertain tax positions would result in an adjustment of our tax credit
carryforwards rather than resulting in a cash outlay.

Although it is reasonably possible that certain unrecognized tax benefits may increase or decrease within the next twelve
months due to tax examinations, settlement activities, expirations of statute of limitations, or the impact on recognition and
measurement considerations related to the results of published tax cases or other similar activities, we do not anticipate any
significant changes to unrecognized tax benefits over the next twelve months.
We recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense when applicable. As
of June 30, 2018, no interest or penalties applicable to our unrecognized tax benefits have been accrued since we have sufficient tax
attributes available to fully offset any potential assessment of additional tax.
We are subject to U.S. federal income tax, as well as income tax of multiple state tax jurisdictions. We are currently open to
audit under the statute of limitations by the Internal Revenue Service for the years ended June 30, 2015 and later. However, because
of net operating losses and research credit carryovers, substantially all of our tax years are open to audit.

NOTES RECEIVABLE
Monogram note receivable – long-term
On April 19, 2017, we entered into a Secured Convertible Promissory Note (the “Promissory Note”) with Monogram
Orthopaedics Inc. (“Monogram”). Monogram is a New York based medical device start-up specializing in precision, patient-
specific orthopedic implants.
Pursuant to the terms of the Promissory Note, on April 19, 2017, we advanced Monogram $450,000 and an additional
$350,000 on November 21, 2017, upon satisfaction of certain milestones, as determined by us in good faith. The Promissory Note
bears interest at 4% per annum calculated on a 360-day year and matures on April 19, 2019, upon which the outstanding principal
and accrued interest will become due and payable if not converted to Monogram’s common stock. Accordingly, no interest
payments have been made and we have placed the note on nonaccrual status since inception, based upon the likely conversion to
common stock.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018, we fully impaired the note receivable due to indications that Monogram had
exhausted its cash and had been unable to obtain additional financing to enable continued research to commercialize their
technology. The $800,000 charge is recorded in asset impairment charges on the accompanying Consolidated Statement of
Operations. While we do not expect to recover our investment, our contractual rights are intact should Monogram be successful in
its endeavors to raise additional financing.
Loan Participation note receivable – short-term
On September 20, 2017 (the “Closing Date”), we entered into a Participation Agreement with FS Special Opportunities I,
L.P., a Minnesota limited partnership (“Principal”), pursuant to which we paid Principal $1,150,000 in cash to purchase a 50%
(“Participation Percentage”) undivided interest (the “Participation”) in Principal’s $2,300,000 loan (the “Loan”) to 414 New York
LLC, a New York limited liability company (“Borrower”). The Participation constitutes the purchase by us of a property interest in
the Loan from Principal and does not create a creditor-debtor relationship between us and Borrower. Borrower used the proceeds
from the Loan to acquire a leasehold interest in certain real estate operated as a hotel in Manhattan, New York. If the Borrower
were to default on the Loan, the Principal’s recourse would be limited to taking a pledge of the equity interests of the Borrower.
This would provide the Principal with the right to step into the Borrower’s shoes to take control of the hotel’s operations. We have
no direct recourse, as we are not a party to the Loan.
41
PRO-DEX, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Pursuant to the loan agreement entered into on the Closing Date between Principal and Borrower, the Loan initially bears
interest at a fixed rate of 22% per annum, with payments of all accrued and unpaid interest due monthly commencing on October 1,
2017 and on the first day of each month thereafter. Borrower may reduce the interest rate by 1% for each $100,000 repayment of
principal up to a maximum reduction of 2%, thereby reducing the interest rate to a minimum amount equal to 20% per annum.
Interest income earned during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018 totaled $199,000. If the principal balance of the Loan is not paid
in full by September 30, 2018, commencing on October 1, 2018 and continuing on the first day of the next 83 months thereafter,
Borrower shall, in addition to the aforementioned monthly interest payments, pay installments of principal equal to 1/84th of the
principal balance outstanding under the Loan as of September 30, 2018. We are entitled to receive from Principal the Company’s
Participation Percentage of any payments of principal and interest. We have classified this note receivable as short-term pursuant to
representations that the Borrower has made to Principal. Raymond E. Cabillot, a director of the Company, is the managing partner
of Farnam Street Capital, Inc. (“Farnam”) and Farnam is the founding partner of FS Special Opportunities I, L.P.
Fineline note receivable
On May 23, 2018, we completed the sale of substantially all of the assets of Fineline, which was engaged in the
manufacture of plastic injection molds serving customers in a variety of industries. The aggregate purchase price was $310,000, of
which $30,000 was paid in cash at closing and the balance of $280,000 is to be paid to us under the terms of a five-year promissory
note, which bears interest at 4% per annum and requires sixty equal monthly payments of principal and accrued interest in the
amount of $5,156.63 each, beginning February 15, 2019. We have determined that there is uncertainty regarding the collectability
of this note. Therefore, we offset the gain on the sale of the division in the amount of approximately $211,000, against the
impairment of the note receivable because the fair market value of the collateral securing the note is less than the face amount of
the note, as determined by us.

NOTES PAYABLE AND FINANCING TRANSACTIONS
Farmers & Merchants Bank of Long Beach
On April 19, 2017, we entered into a Business Loan Agreement, dated effective March 28, 2017, with Farmers & Merchants
Bank of Long Beach (“FMB”), providing for a $500,000 revolving loan facility (the “Revolving Loan Facility”). The Revolving
Loan Facility is secured by substantially all of our assets and bears interest at prime plus 2 percent (currently 6.75%) and matured
on March 28, 2018. During the initial loan period, we did not borrow any funds. As disclosed in a Form 8-K filed with the SEC on
April 17, 2018, we entered into a Change in Terms Agreement and an Amendment #1 to Business Loan Agreement, each dated
effective April 6, 2018, which extend the maturity date of the Revolving Loan Facility to March 28, 2019. This loan was terminated
by us on September 4, 2018 (See Note 15).
Summit Financial Resources LP
On September 9, 2015, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Summit Loan”) with Summit Financial
Resources LP, whereby we could borrow up to $1.0 million against our eligible receivables, as defined in the agreement. Borrowed
funds bore interest at a rate of prime plus 2 percent and incurred an additional administrative fee of 0.7 percent on the monthly
average outstanding balance. The Summit Loan had an initial period of 18 months. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, we
borrowed $600,000 on a revolving basis under the Summit Loan, which amounts were paid in full prior to March 9, 2017, when we
terminated the Summit Loan in accordance with its terms.
Jules & Associates/Hitachi Capital America Corporation
On July 21, 2016, we entered a master equipment lease agreement with Jules and Associates, Inc. to lease a specific
machine used in our inspection process. The cost of the equipment was approximately $106,000 and the lease provides for 36
monthly payments in the amount of $3,121, as well as interim rent in the amount of $7,388. The lease was subsequently assigned to
Hitachi Capital America Corporation. The balance owed on the lease as of June 30, 2018 is approximately $41,000.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Leases
We lease our office, production and warehouse facility in Irvine, California, (our “corporate office”) under an agreement
that expires in September 2027. We leased our former San Dimas, California office until the sale of our Fineline division in May
2018 at which time it terminated. We leased our former Beaverton, Oregon office under an agreement that expired in July 2017.
Upon the sale of the OMS division, we assigned the Beaverton lease to the purchaser of the division and received sublease income
in the amount of $43,000 during fiscal 2017, which was recorded as a reduction to rent expense. Our corporate office lease requires
us to pay insurance, taxes, and other expenses related to the leased space.
Rent expense in fiscal 2018 and 2017 was $551,000 and $515,000, respectively. Minimum lease payments for future fiscal

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
Stock Option Plans
Through June 2014, we had two equity compensation plans, the Second Amended and Restated 2004 Stock Option Plan
(the “Employee Stock Option Plan”) and the Amended and Restated 2004 Directors’ Stock Option Plan (the “Directors’ Stock
Option Plan”) (collectively, the “Former Stock Option Plans”). There was no share-based compensation expense related to the
Former Stock Option Plans for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 as all outstanding options under the Former Stock
Option Plans are fully vested. The Employee Stock Option Plan and Director’s Stock Option Plan were terminated in June 2015
and September 2014, respectively.
In September 2016, our Board approved the establishment of the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan, which was approved by our
shareholders at the November 29, 2016 Annual Meeting. The 2016 Equity Incentive Plan provides for the award of up to 1,500,000
shares of the Company’s common stock in the form of incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options, stock appreciation
rights, restricted shares, restricted stock units, performance awards and other stock-based awards. As of June 30, 2018, 200,000
performance awards have been granted under the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan.
Stock Options
There were no stock options granted during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017. As of June 30, 2018, there was

In December 2017, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors granted 200,000 performance awards to our
employees which will generally be paid in shares of our common stock. Whether any performance awards vest, and the amount that
does vest, is tied to the completion of service periods that range from 7 months to 9.5 years at inception and the achievement of our
common stock trading at certain pre-determined prices. The weighted average fair value of the performance awards granted was
$4.46, calculated using the weighted average fair market value for each award, using a Monte Carlo simulation. We recorded share-
based compensation expense of $187,000 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018 related to these performance awards. On June 30,
2018, there was approximately $100,000 of unrecognized compensation cost related to these non-vested performance awards
expected to be expensed over the weighted-average period of 4.89 years.
On July 1, 2018, it was determined by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors that the first of five tranches
of the performance awards had been achieved and participants were awarded 40,000 shares of common stock. Each participant
elected a net issuance to cover their individual withholding taxes and therefore the Company issued 24,727 shares.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In September 2014, our Board approved the establishment of an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”). The ESPP
conforms to the provisions of Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code, has coterminous offering and purchase periods of six
months, and bases the pricing to purchase shares of our common stock on a formula so as to result in a per share purchase price that
approximates a 15% discount from the market price of a share of our common stock at the end of the purchase period. Our Board of
Directors also approved the provision that shares formerly reserved for issuance under the Former Stock Option Plans in excess of
shares issuable pursuant to outstanding options, aggregating 704,715 shares, be reserved for issuance pursuant to the ESPP. The
ESPP was approved by our shareholders at the December 3, 2014 Annual Meeting. On February 2, 2015, the Company filed a
Registration Statement on Form S-8 registering the 704,715 shares issuable under the ESPP under the Securities Act of 1933.
During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, shares totaling 6,733 and 3,794 were purchased respectively, and
allocated to participating employees based upon their contributions at weighted average prices of $5.60 and $4.74, respectively. On
a cumulative basis, since the inception of the ESPP, employees have purchased a total of 16,123 shares. During the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, we recorded stock compensation expense in the amount of $7,000 and $3,000, respectively, relating
to the ESPP.

In September 2013, our Board approved a share repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase up to 750,000
shares of our common stock. In accordance with, and as part of, this share repurchase program, our Board has approved the
adoption of several prearranged share repurchase plans intended to qualify for the safe harbor Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“10b5-1 Plan” or “Plan”). During the quarter ended September 30, 2016, our Board approved
a 10b5-1 Plan, which became effective on September 8, 2016 and terminated on the earlier of September 8, 2017 or when and if the
maximum shares were repurchased. During the quarter ended December 31, 2016, the Investment Committee of our Board
approved an additional concurrently running 10b5-1 Plan, which became effective on December 8, 2016 and terminates on the
earlier of December 8, 2017 or when and if the maximum shares were repurchased. In February, 2017 our Board terminated the two
effective 10b5-1 Plans in conjunction with the approval of our At The Market Offering Agreement (“ATM” or “ATM Agreement”)
further described below. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, we repurchased 63,496 shares at an aggregate cost of
$312,000, inclusive of fees under the Plans.
On March 9, 2018, the Investment Committee of our Board approved a 10b5-1 Plan, which became effective on March 14,
2018 and terminates on the earlier of March 13, 2019 or when and if the maximum shares are repurchased. During the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2018, we repurchased 33,026 shares at an aggregate cost, inclusive of fees under the plan of $220,000. On a
cumulative basis, we have repurchased a total of 265,983 shares under the share repurchase program at an aggregate cost of $1.1
million. All repurchases under the 10b5-1 Plans were administered through an independent broker.

At The Market Offering Agreement
In February 2017, our Board approved an ATM Agreement with Ascendiant Capital Markets, LLC (“Ascendiant”). The
ATM Agreement allows us to sell shares of our common stock pursuant to specific parameters defined by us as well as those
defined by the SEC and the ATM Agreement. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, we sold 8,276 shares of common stock at
average prices of $6.04 and raised net proceeds of $48,000. The proceeds collected were accounted for as a reduction of the prepaid
expenses relating to establishing the ATM. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, we sold 332,189 shares of common stock
under the ATM at average prices of $7.02 per share, resulting in proceeds to us of $2.3 million, net of commissions and fees. From
the inception of the ATM in February 2017 through December 31, 2017, we have sold 340,465 shares of common stock for gross
proceeds of $2,311,000 net of commissions and fees paid to Ascendiant totaling $72,000. In December 2017, our Board suspended
the ATM indefinitely. Our Board has the discretion to reactivate the ATM prior to February 16, 2020, the expiration of the ATM
Agreement, unless earlier terminated by Ascendiant or us.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On September 6, 2018 (the “Effective Date”), as reported in our Current Report filed with the SEC on September 7, 2018,
we entered into a Credit Agreement with Minnesota Bank & Trust, a Minnesota state banking corporation (“MBT”), providing for a
$5,000,000 term loan (the “Term Loan”) as well as a $2,000,000 revolving loan (the “Revolving Loan” and together with the Term
Loan, collectively the “Loans”), evidenced by a Term Note A and a Revolving Credit Note made by us in favor of MBT. The Loans
are secured by substantially all of our assets pursuant to a Security Agreement entered into on the Effective Date between us and
MBT. We paid loan origination fees to MBT on the Effective Date in the amount of $60,000.
The Term Loan matures on October 1, 2025 and bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.53% per annum. An initial payment of
interest only is due on October 1, 2018.Commencing November 1, 2018 and continuing on the first day of each subsequent month
thereafter until the maturity date, we are required to make payments of principal and interest on the Term Loan of $71,921.43, plus
any additional accrued and unpaid interest through the date of payment. The Revolving Loan matures on September 6, 2019 unless
earlier terminated pursuant to its terms and bears interest at the greater of (a) 4.5% or (b) the difference of the prime rate as
published in the Money Rates section of the Wall Street Journal minus 0.50%. Commencing on the first day of each month after we
initially borrow against the Revolving Loan and each month thereafter until maturity, we are required to pay all accrued and unpaid
interest on the Revolving Loan through the date of payment. Any principal on the Revolving Loan that is not previously prepaid
shall be due and payable on the maturity date (or earlier termination of the Revolving Loan).
Any payment on the Loans not made within seven days after the due date is subject to a late payment fee equal to 5% of the
overdue amount. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default, the interest rate of both Loans will be
increased by 3% and MBT may, at its option, declare the Loans immediately due and payable in full.
The Credit Agreement and Security Agreement contain representations and warranties, affirmative, negative and financial
covenants, and events of default that are customary for loans of this type.
In conjunction with the above, we terminated our loan with Farmers & Merchants Bank of Long Beach effective September
4, 2018.
On September 10, 2018, we discovered a supplier quality issue in one of our legacy batteries which will require a product
recall. We are currently examining the components that may contain particulates which should have been rejected by our supplier
and we are identifying all lots that will be included in the recall as well as the customers that are impacted by the recall. No
significant current contracts are affected. For illustrative purposes, to describe the magnitude of the recall, we sold $338,000 of
these batteries during fiscal 2018. We are currently investigating the issue and will be able to estimate our expected recall related
expenses once the affected lots are identified, anticipated units to be returned are quantified, and potential re-work solutions are
identified. At this time, we do not know the amount of other costs that may be incurred related to the recall or any amounts that
may be recovered either through our supplier or our $1 million commercial product recall insurance policy, which contains a
$50,000 deductible per occurrence. As our analysis is ongoing, we do not know at this time whether or not we will file a claim with
our insurance.

ITEM 9A.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (our principal executive officer and principal financial officer)
have concluded, based on their evaluation as of June 30, 2018, that the design and operation of our “disclosure controls and
procedures” (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange
Act”)) are effective at a reasonable assurance level to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or
submitted by us under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the
SEC’s rules and forms, including to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the
Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate “internal control over financial reporting” (as
defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including
our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal
control over financial reporting based on the framework set forth in the 2013 Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by
the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in May 2013. Based on this evaluation, our management
concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of June 30, 2018.
Our internal control over financial reporting is supported by written policies and procedures that:
(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and
dispositions of our assets;
(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of our Company are being made only
in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and
(3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of
our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also,
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because
of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control
over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to
rules of the SEC that apply to smaller reporting companies that permit us to provide only management’s attestation in this annual
report.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2018, there were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting
(as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
