CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS
This report contains forward-looking
 statements within the meaning of federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements are not based on
historical facts but instead reflect
the Company’s expectations, estimates or projections concerning future results or events. These statements generally can
be identified
 by the use of forward-looking words or phrases such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “may,”
 “could,” “intend,” “intent,” “belief,”
“estimate,” “project,”
“forecast,” “plan,” “likely,” “will,” “should” or similar words or phrases.
These statements are not guarantees of performance and are
inherently subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and assumptions
that are difficult to predict and could cause actual results, performance, or
achievements to differ materially from those expressed or
indicated by those statements. The Company cannot assure you that any of its expectations,
estimates or projections will be achieved.
Forward-looking statements
included in this report are only made as of the date of this report and the Company disclaims any obligation to
publicly update any forward-looking
statement to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.
Numerous factors could cause
the Company’s actual results and events to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking

support of new products,
cancellation of existing contracts, customer “in house” production of products previously designed
by and/or acquired from the Company, invalidity or
unenforceability of the Company’s patents and other intellectual property, maintaining
favorable supplier relationships, the Company’s ability to engage
qualified human resources as needed, regulatory compliance, general
economic conditions, and other factors described under Item 1A (Risk Factors) of this
report. This list of factors is illustrative,
but by no means exhaustive. All forward-looking statements should be evaluated with the understanding of their
inherent uncertainty.
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, thoracic,
and craniomaxillofacial (“CMF”) markets. We
have patented adaptive torque-limiting technology 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 patented adaptive torque-limiting
software has been very well received in the CMF and thoracic markets and we have continued investment in
this area with research and development
focused on applying this technology to other surgical applications.
 
In November 2020, we purchased
an approximate 25,000 square foot industrial building in Tustin, California (the “Franklin
Property”). This
building is located approximately four miles from our Irvine, California headquarters and was acquired to provide
us additional capacity for our expected
continued future growth. We substantially completed the build-out of the property during fiscal
2022 and concluded various verification and validation
activities during fiscal 2023. We moved our entire assembly and repairs operations
to the new facility in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 and we are now
fully operational in the new facility. We believe the new facility
will create additional capacity for our expected continued growth over the next several
years.

Our medical device products utilize
proprietary designs developed by us primarily under exclusive development and supply agreements and are
currently machined in our Irvine,
California facility, and assembled in our Tustin, California facility, as are our rotary air motors. Our medical device
products are sold
primarily to original equipment manufacturers and our air motors are sold primarily to a wide range of distributors and end users.
In fiscal 2024, our top
three customers accounted for 88% of our sales compared to 92% in fiscal 2023. In fiscal 2024, we had one customer,
included in both medical
device and repairs revenue above, that accounted for 71% of sales with our next largest customer accounting for 12% of sales.
This compares
to fiscal 2023, when these same two customers accounted for 67% and 16%, respectively, of our total sales. 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, nor does management have any knowledge that any existing significant
customer intends to terminate
its relationship with us.
 
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. During the first quarter of
fiscal 2021, our largest customer
executed an amendment to our existing supply agreement such that we will continue to supply their surgical
handpieces to them through calendar 2025 and,
during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, they executed a product development agreement
and related statement of work for our assistance with the next
generation of this handpiece. Additionally, we continue to invest in property
and equipment as well as personnel to expand our capacity to achieve higher
sales volumes.

To that end, we purchased the
Franklin Property in November 2020. This building is located approximately four miles from our Irvine, California
headquarters and was
acquired to provide us additional capacity for our expected continued future growth. We began operations in the new facility during
the
fourth quarter of fiscal 2023. While we believe that the efforts we completed to bring the facility operational will allow us ample capacity
to increase
revenues significantly in future years, there can be no assurance that we will increase revenue.
 
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 and thoracic markets.
 
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, Fischer Connectors, and Tadiran Batteries 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, however, since fiscal 2022 and continuing
through fiscal
2024, many of our suppliers have increased lead times, experienced delays in shipments and raised prices or temporarily
added surcharges. 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 and Tustin, California facilities. In addition,
both
facilities produce products that are certified to ISO 13485:2016, Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC – Annex II.
At June 30, 2024,
we had a backlog of $19.8 million compared with a backlog of $41.6 million at June 30, 2023. 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.
Substantially all of our backlog at June 30, 2024, as well as certain purchase orders received subsequent to June 30, 2024, are expected
to be
delivered during fiscal 2025. 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 expect a reduction in
fiscal 2025 revenue as compared to fiscal 2024 revenue and believe that the decline in backlog at June
30, 2024 compared to June 30, 2023 is related to
timing of customer orders, although there can be no assurance that there will not be
a decline in future revenue. Additionally, $10.2 million of our
backlog at June 30, 2023 related to orders expected to be delivered in
fiscal 2025. We do not typically experience seasonal fluctuations in our shipments
and revenues.
 
Segments
We have only one operating
segment as our business is currently operated. We have reached this conclusion because the our Chief Executive
Officer (“CEO”)
 allocates resources, assesses performance, and manages our business as one segment. Additionally, 99% of our business relates to
designing,
manufacturing, and repairing medical devices. We primarily design, sell, and repair handheld medical devices and accessories. We provide
medical devices, NRE and proto-type services, as well as repairs to all our customers and we utilize one machine shop and purchasing team
to procure and
manufacture all the products that we sell. The CEO utilizes consolidated operating income to analyze our business operations.

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 efforts involve
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;
·
introducing new products; and
·
enhancing our existing product lines.
 
In certain instances, we may share
research and development costs with our customers by billing for non-recurring engineering (“NRE”) services
often provided
for under development portions of certain contracts. Revenue recognized for NRE services represented 1% of our revenue in fiscal 2024
and
6% of our revenue in fiscal 2023.
During the fiscal years
ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we incurred research and development expenses amounting to $3.2 million and $2.8
million, respectively,
which costs exclude labor and related expenses of approximately $224,000 and $724,000 in fiscal 2024 and 2023, respectively, that
were
reimbursed by our customers through billings for NRE services.
Human Capital Management
Our employees are among
our most critical assets. The success and growth of our business depends on our ability to attract, reward, retain and
develop talent
in all levels of our organization, including, but not limited to, machine operators, assembly technicians, engineers, and management.
In order to attract and
retain highly qualified employees, we offer the following:
·
Competitive, reasonable, and equitable compensation programs;
·
Comprehensive and highly competitive health and welfare benefits to promote our employees’ physical
health, as well as a 401(k) plan to
support our employees’ financial health;
·
An Employee Stock Purchase Plan and equity compensation to provide financial value, align employee’s
 interests with those of our
shareholders, and incentivize retention;
·
Flexible paid vacation and sick time, as well as paid volunteer time; and
·
Education/tuition reimbursement and referral programs.
Our employee turnover for
 the fiscal years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was 21% and 16%, respectively. We consider the turnover rate a
valuable metric to measure
the effectiveness of our programs and to assist in developing new programs.
4 

 
Employees
At June 30, 2024, we had
148 employees, two of whom were part time, and all of our employees were working at one or both of our facilities in
Irvine, California
and Tustin, California. At June 30, 2023, we had 146 employees, one of whom was part-time, and all were working at either our Irvine,
California facility or our Tustin, California facility, except for one employee who worked remotely out of state. None of our employees
are a party to any
collective bargaining agreements with us. We consider our relationships with our employees to be good.
 
Government Regulations
The manufacture and distribution
of medical devices are subject to state and federal requirements set forth by various agencies, including the
FDA, and state medical 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. 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. Downward pressure on health
care costs could result in reduced pricing or demand for our products.
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 both our Irvine, California and Tustin, California facilities are compliant with applicable Good
Manufacturing Practices
 promulgated by the FDA and are compliant with applicable ISO standards set forth by the International Organization for
Standardization.
Patents, Trademarks, and Licensing Agreements
We hold US and foreign patents
relating to our handheld medical devices 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 changing the legal
manufacturer of
medical devices is a significant undertaking and the expiration of a patent would offer minimal inducement to make such a change.
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. Although
we are
currently 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.
Risks Related to Our Business and the Industry
in Which We Operate
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 2024, our top three
customers accounted for 88% of our sales, with our current largest customer accounting for 71% of our sales. This
customer has made purchase
commitments to us through a supply agreement to purchase surgical handpieces through calendar 2025, but there can be no
assurance that
this customer will extend purchase commitments to us beyond that date. The loss of, or a material reduction in purchases from, 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, financial
condition, and results of operations.
In fiscal 2024, we derived
99% 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, and 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, financial condition, and results of operations 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 results of operations.
 
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.
 
     
6 

 
In addition to reducing our sales,
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.
In recent years, we have launched several
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.
 
In recent years, we have completed
significant medical device development projects in the CMF and thoracic surgical segments 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.
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, financial condition, and
results of operations.
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.
 
7 

 
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, financial condition and results of operations.
If our technology infrastructure is compromised,
 damaged or interrupted by a cybersecurity incident, data security breach or other security
problems, our results of operations 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 and financial condition.
To service our debt obligations, we will require
a significant amount of cash. However, our ability to generate cash depends on many factors
beyond our control.
Our ability to make payments
on, and to refinance, our debt obligations and to fund capital expenditures, will depend on our ability to generate
cash in the future,
which, in turn, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, regulatory and other factors, many of which are beyond our
control.
Our business may not generate
 sufficient cash flow from operations, and we may not have available to us future borrowings in an amount
sufficient to enable us to pay
our debt obligations or to fund our other liquidity needs. In these circumstances, we may need to refinance all or a portion of
our debt
obligations on or before maturity. We may not be able to refinance any of our debt obligations, on commercially reasonable terms, or at
all.
Without this financing, we could be forced to sell assets or secure additional financing to make up for any shortfall in our payment
obligations under
unfavorable circumstances. However, we may not be able to secure additional financing on terms favorable to us or at
all and, in addition, the agreements
governing our debt obligations limit our ability to sell assets. In addition, we may not be able
to sell assets quickly enough or for sufficient amounts to
enable us to meet our obligations.
 
8 

 
Our cash and cash equivalents may be exposed to
banking institution risk.
 
We hold our cash balances with
a single financial institution which institution is subject to risks, which may include failure or other circumstances
that limit our
 access to deposits or other banking services. For example, in March 2023, Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) was unable to continue
 their
operations and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) was appointed as receiver for SVB. However, if similar
failures in financial institutions
occur where we hold deposits, we could experience additional risk. Any such loss or limitation on our
cash and cash equivalents would adversely affect our
business.
 
In addition, in such circumstances
we might not be able to receive timely payment from customers. We and they may maintain cash balances that
are not insured or are in excess
of the FDIC’s insurance limit. Any delay in ours or our customers’ ability to access funds could have a material adverse
effect
on our operations. If any parties with which we conduct business are unable to access funds pursuant to such instruments or lending arrangements
with such a financial institution, such parties’ ability to continue to fund their business and perform their obligations to us
could be adversely affected,
which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations.
 
We periodically invest surplus cash in marketable
securities and other investments in order to realize a positive return, although there can be no
assurance that a positive return will
be realized, and we could lose some or all of our investments, which could adversely affect our financial
condition and results of operation.
 
We invest a significant portion
of our excess capital in marketable securities, including equity securities of publicly traded companies. At June 30,
2024, the fair value
of our investments was approximately $5.8 million. Of that amount $3.2 million relates to an investment in Monogram Technologies,
Inc.,
formerly Monogram Orthopaedics Inc. (“Monogram”), described more fully in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements
contained elsewhere in
this report. While we intend to hold our investments, including our investment in Monogram, until such time as
we believe it is appropriate to sell them in
accordance with our overall investment policy, we may have unexpected cash requirements that
 could necessitate the sale of some or all of these
investments for a loss. Additionally, these investments are subject to changes in their
valuation, and are recorded at their estimated fair value at each
measurement date, with unrealized gains and losses presented in other
 income (expense) in our consolidated income statements, which can result in
material upward or downward non-cash adjustments to our income
from quarter-to-quarter.
 
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, which could potentially dilute the holdings of other shareholders.
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.
 
9 

 
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 any future acquisitions or realize the expected value from past or future acquisitions could harm
our
business, financial condition, and results of operations.
 
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. 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.
 
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.
However, if our available capital resources become insufficient, we may 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.
Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common
Stock
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 20, 2024, two
of our directors, Nicholas J. Swenson and Raymond E. Cabillot, directly or indirectly, controlled voting power over
approximately 42%
(31% and 11%, 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.
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 (“U.S. 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.

Regulatory & Compliance Risks
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 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. 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.
We face risks and uncertainties associated
with potential litigation by or against us, which could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition, and results
of operations.
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 and patent infringement claims. While we are committed to investigating such concerns and
correcting
them, 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,
financial condition, and results of operations. 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.

The agreements governing our various debt obligations
impose restrictions on our business and could adversely affect our ability to undertake
certain corporate actions.
The agreements governing
our debt obligations include covenants imposing significant restrictions on our business. These restrictions may affect our
ability to
 operate our business and may limit our ability to take advantage of potential business opportunities as they arise. These covenants place
restrictions on our ability to, among other things:
•  
incur additional debt;
•   declare
or pay dividends to shareholders;
•  
create liens or use assets as security in other transactions;
•  
be acquired by a third party;
•  
pursue strategic acquisitions;
•   engage
in transactions with affiliates; and
•  
sell or transfer assets.
The agreements governing
 our debt obligations also require us to comply with a number of financial ratios, borrowing base requirements and
additional covenants.
Our ability to comply with
these covenants may be affected by events beyond our control, including prevailing economic, financial, and industry
conditions. These
covenants could adversely affect our business by limiting our ability to take advantage of financing, merger and acquisition, or other
corporate opportunities. The breach of any of these covenants or restrictions could result in a default under our debt obligations. If
we were unable to repay
our debt or are otherwise in default under any provision governing our secured debt obligations, our lender could
proceed against us and against the
collateral (consisting of substantially all of our assets) securing that debt.
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.
We have identified material weaknesses in
our internal control over financial reporting. Failure to achieve and maintain effective internal control
over financial reporting could
materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and stock price.
We identified material weaknesses
in our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2024, and June 30, 2023. The material weaknesses
as of June 30,
2024, related to our inventory accounting and the valuation of one of our Level 2 investments. The material weakness as of June 30,
2023,
related to the valuation of our Level 3 investment. As a result of these material weaknesses, as of June 30, 2024, and
June 30, 2023, our management
concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective based on the framework
in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013),
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
In fiscal 2024, we implemented
a remediation plan designed to address our June 30, 2023 material weakness, which was both time consuming and
costly. We are actively
engaged in implementing a remediation plan designed to address the June 30, 2024 material weaknesses. However, as with the
June 30,
2023 material weakness, our remediation efforts could be both time consuming and costly. In addition, if our remedial measures are insufficient
to
address the material weaknesses, or if additional material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal control are discovered
or occur in the future,
our consolidated financial statements may contain material misstatements and we could be required to restate our
financial results.
Even if the June 30,
2024 material weaknesses are quickly remedied, or if we or our auditors discover one or more additional material weaknesses
in our internal
controls, the market’s confidence in our financial statements could decline and our stock price may be harmed. In addition, our
failure to
maintain effective controls over financial reporting could subject us to sanctions or investigations by The Nasdaq Stock Market,
 the SEC, or other
regulatory authorities. 
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 (see above, “We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control
over
financial reporting. Failure to achieve and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could materially and adversely
affect our business,
results of operations, financial condition, and stock price.”). We cannot be certain that a future material
weakness will not occur and that it will not be time
consuming and costly to remediate 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.

General Risks
The global economic environment may impact
our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
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, high rates of inflation, higher interest rates, 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, and results of operations.

CYBERSECURITY
Risk management and strategy
 
We have implemented and maintain
various information security processes in accordance with our business designed to identify, assess, manage
and protect against material
risks from cybersecurity threats to our critical computer networks, communication systems, hardware and software, and our
critical data,
including intellectual property and confidential information.
 
Depending on the environment,
 we implement and maintain various technical, physical and organizational measures, processes, and policies
designed to manage and mitigate
material risks from cybersecurity threats to our information systems and data, including, for example, incident detection
and response
plans; disaster recovery and business continuity plans; maintaining network security and access controls; asset management; monitoring
certain of our systems and network; cybersecurity insurance; and training our employees about certain cybersecurity risks and threats.
 
We currently engage third party
information technology partners to design and manage our information security processes and system. Working
with our outsourced security
team, our Chief Financial Officer manages the risk assessment and mitigation process. We have budgeted to add information
technology staff
to our organization to increase our in-house expertise in this area. As we grow, we plan to develop a more robust and detailed strategy
for
cybersecurity.
 
Governance
 
Cybersecurity risks are overseen
by the full Board of Directors and the Audit Committee as part of their regular oversight. Members of the Board
and Audit Committee are
encouraged to engage in ad hoc conversations with management on cybersecurity related updates to our risk management and
strategy. Cybersecurity
incidents are reported to the Chief Financial Officer to determine incident severity and response. In an effort to deter and detect
cyber
threats, we also provide all employees with access to digital assets with an ongoing cybersecurity awareness training program, which further
educates
employees and covers timely and relevant topics, including phishing, password protection, asset use and mobile security.
 
Risks from cybersecurity threats
 
To date, we have not identified
any cybersecurity incidents or threats that have materially affected us, or are reasonably likely to materially affect
us, including our
business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. However, like many companies in our industry, we face numerous and
evolving
cybersecurity threats that could adversely affect our business. For more information about the risks from cybersecurity threats that may
materially
affect us and how they may do so, see our risk factors under Part 1 Item 1A Risk Factors contained elsewhere in this report.

PROPERTIES
Our executive offices and
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 approximately $44,000 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 45
years old and in good
condition.
Our Franklin Property, located
at 14401 Franklin Avenue, Tustin, California 92780, is used primarily for our assembly and repairs operations. We
purchased this 25,000
square foot facility in November 2020 from an unrelated third party, with the majority of the purchase price financed by a property
loan
(See Notes 4 and 7 of to the consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this report). The building is a one-story, stand-alone
structure of
concrete “tilt-up” construction, approximately 45 years old and in good condition.
We believe that our facilities
are adequate for our current and expected future needs and are in full compliance with applicable state, EPA and
other agency environmental
standards.

Holders
As of September 3, 2024,
there were 122 holders of record of our common stock. This number does not include beneficial owners including
holders whose shares are
held in nominee, or “street,” name.
Dividends
We have never paid a cash

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 I 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, 2024 and 2023.
 
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,
thoracic, and CMF markets. Additionally, we provide engineering, quality, and regulatory consulting
services to
our customers. 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. We are headquartered in Irvine, California.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our consolidated financial
 statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. 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
 
Under Accounting Standards Update
(“ASU”) 2014-09, (Topic 606) “Revenue From Contracts with Customers,” we recognize revenue from the
sales
of products and services by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations
in the
contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract;
and (5) recognize revenue
when each performance obligation is satisfied. We primarily sell finished products and recognize revenue at
point of sale or delivery. However, we also
perform services when we are engaged to design a product for a customer and there is more
judgment involved in determining the amount and timing of
revenue recognition under those types of contracts. In fiscal 2024, the revenue
from NRE and prototype services represents approximately 1% of total
revenue.
Returns of our product for
credit are not material; accordingly, we do not establish a reserve for product returns at the time of sale.
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. An expected loss on development service contracts is recognized immediately in cost of sales. Losses recorded in fiscal 2024
and 2023 related to
these services totaled $118,000 and $108,000, respectively.
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 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.
17 

 
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 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
from the measurement date.
Accounts Receivable
Trade receivables are stated
at their original invoice amounts, less an allowance for credit losses. Management determines the allowance for credit
losses 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 NRE 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.
Investments
Investments consist
of marketable equity securities of publicly held companies and, as of June 30, 2023, a warrant (the “Monogram Warrant”) to
purchase common stock of a publicly held company (which we exercised in the second quarter of fiscal 2024). 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 presented in other income (expense) in our consolidated income statements.
Some of our investments include the common
stock of public companies that are thinly traded. Certain of these investments are classified
as long-term in nature, as we may not be able to liquidate the
investments in a timely manner even if we wish to sell them. All of our
investments were subject to a valuation analysis as of June 30, 2024 and 2023.
 
Long-lived Assets
We review the recoverability
of long-lived assets, consisting of building, equipment, and improvements, when events or changes in circumstances
occur that indicate
carrying values may not be recoverable.
Building, equipment, and
 improvements are recorded at historical cost and depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the
following periods:
 
 
Building
Thirty years
Equipment
Three to ten years
Improvements
Shorter of the remaining life of the underlying building, lease term, or the asset’s estimated useful
life
 
18 

 
Intangibles
Other
intangibles consist of legal fees incurred in connection
with patent applications. The legal fees 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 expense
associated with the amortization
of the patent costs is recognized in research and development costs.
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 and liabilities at June 30, 2024 and 2023 consisted primarily
of basis
differences related to unrealized gain/loss related to investments, stock-based compensation, fixed assets, accrued expenses
and inventories. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
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).

Net
sales in fiscal 2024 increased by $7.8 million, or 17%, as compared to fiscal 2023, due primarily to an increase in repair revenue of
$3.9
million and an increase in medical device revenue of $6.2 million offset by a decrease in NRE and prototype services of $1.9 million.

Sales
of our medical device products increased $6.2 million, or 20%, during fiscal 2024 as compared to fiscal 2023. During fiscal 2024, thoracic
sales increased by $460,000 to $3.0 million, up from $2.6 million in fiscal 2023, due to a product launch for a second distributor in
the first quarter of fiscal
2024. Recurring revenue from distributors of CMF drivers increased $1.8 million in fiscal 2024 compared
to fiscal 2023. We do not have much visibility
into our customers’ distribution networks, but we surmise the increase relates to
a replenishment of customer inventory. Our orthopedic sales increased $3.9
million in fiscal 2024 compared to fiscal 2023, due to continued
demand from our largest customer.
Sales
of our industrial and scientific products, which consist primarily of our compact pneumatic air
motors, decreased $100,000, or 12%, for
fiscal 2024 compared to fiscal 2023. The revenue decrease is expected as these are legacy products
with no substantive marketing or sales efforts.
Sales
of our NRE & prototype services decreased $1.9 million or 71% compared to fiscal 2023 and relates to a reduction in the number of
billable
engagements during fiscal 2024 compared to fiscal 2023.
20 

 
Sales
of our dental products and components in fiscal 2024 decreased $56,000, or 22%, as compared to fiscal 2023. The decrease is as expected
and we expect future declines in this area as we are no longer manufacturing dental products, but rather are simply selling remaining
component inventory.
Our
fiscal 2024 repair revenue increased approximately $3.9 million, or 31%, to $16.5 million, as compared to fiscal 2023, due to increased
repairs of the orthopedic handpiece we sell to our largest customer. We expected repair revenue to increase based upon the customer’s
 requested
refurbishments to upgrade previously purchased handpieces to the next generation, which we collectively term “enhanced
 repairs”. We are rapidly
refurbishing these handpieces and we believe that our largest customer will request enhanced repairs for
a similar volume or number of handpieces in fiscal
2025; however, there are no assurances as to the number of enhanced repairs that will
ultimately be requested from this client in fiscal 2025 or thereafter.
At June 30, 2024, we
had a backlog of $19.8 million compared with a backlog of $41.6 million at June 30, 2023. 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.
Substantially all of our backlog at June 30, 2024, as well as certain purchase orders received subsequent to June 30, 2024, are expected
to be
delivered during fiscal 2025. 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 expect a reduction in fiscal
2025 revenue as compared to fiscal 2024 revenue and believe that the decline in backlog at June
30, 2024 compared to June 30, 2023 is related to timing of
customer orders, although there can be no assurance that there will not be
a decline in future revenue. Additionally, $10.2 million of our backlog at June 30,
2023 related to orders expected to be delivered in
fiscal 2025. We do not typically experience seasonal fluctuations in our shipments and revenues.

During fiscal 2024, we experienced $74,000 of over-absorption of manufacturing costs compared to $1.7 million of under-
absorption in fiscal
2023, due primarily to an increase in our standard labor and overhead rate recorded in the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2024. Costs related to
inventory and warranty charges increased $154,000 in fiscal 2024 compared to fiscal 2023,
primarily due to increased inventory reserves.

Selling expenses consist
of salaries and other personnel-related expenses related to our business development department, as well as trade show
attendance, advertising
 and marketing expenses, and travel and related costs incurred in generating and maintaining customer relationships. Selling
expenses decreased
$38,000, or 25%, compared to fiscal 2023, primarily due to decreased sales commissions in the amount of $74,000 offset by increased
recruiting
and advertising of $20,000 and $10,000, respectively.
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 $44,000 increase in G&A expenses from fiscal 2023 to 2024 is due primarily to increased
audit and consulting fees in the
amount of $323,000 and increased recruiting fees of $100,000 offset by reduced patent related legal fees
of $233,000 and non-cash compensation expense
related to stock compensation in the amount of $161,000 due primarily to forfeitures caused
by employee turnover.
Research and development
costs generally consist of salaries, employer-paid benefits, and other personnel- related costs of our engineering and
support personnel,
as well as allocated facility and information technology costs, professional and consulting fees, patent-related fees, lab costs, materials,
and travel and related costs incurred in the development and support of our products. Fiscal 2024 research and development costs increased
$385,000 from
fiscal 2023 due to increased spending on internal product development projects of $82,000 as well as reduced billable project
expenditures which get
reclassified to cost of sales. The majority of our research and development expenditures incurred in fiscal 2024
and 2023 relates to our sustaining activities
related to products we currently manufacture and sell. As we introduce new products into
the market, we expect to see an increase in sustaining and other
engineering expenses. Typical examples of sustaining engineering activities
include, but are not limited to, end-of-life component replacement, especially
in electronic components found in our printed circuit board
assemblies, analysis of customer complaint data to improve process and design, replacement
and enhancement of tooling and fixtures used
in the machine shop, assembly operations, and inspection areas to improve efficiency and through-put.
Other Income (Expense)
 
Interest and Dividend Income
 
Our interest and dividend income
earned in fiscal 2024 and 2023 includes income earned from our interest-bearing money market accounts and
portfolio of equity investments.
 
Unrealized gain (loss)
on investments
The unrealized gain (loss) on
investments relates to our investment portfolio. Additional information related to the nature of our investments is
more fully described
in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this report.
 
 
22 

 
Gain on Sale of Investments
 
During fiscal 2024, our investment
sales were immaterial. During fiscal 2023, we liquidated some of the investments in our portfolio of equity
investments receiving proceeds
of $89,000 and recording a gain of $6,000.
 
Interest Expense
 
Interest expense incurred in fiscal
2024 and 2023 consists primarily of interest expense related to our debt with Minnesota Bank & Trust (“MBT”)
described
more fully in Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this report.
 
Income Taxes
The effective tax rate
for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was 19% and 25%, respectively, slightly less than our combined expected
federal and
applicable state corporate income tax rates due primarily to federal and state research credits.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Cash provided by
operating activities totaled $6.2 million during fiscal 2024. Our net income was $2.1 million, which includes $4.1 million of
unrealized losses on certain equity investments, as well as non-cash stock compensation expense and depreciation and amortization
expense in the amount
of $605,000 and $1.2 million, respectively. Additionally, our accounts payable and accrued expenses increased
by $2.4 million and our inventory decreased
by $898,000. Offsetting these inflows of cash, our accounts receivable and deferred tax
assets grew by $3.9 million and $1.6 million, respectively.
Cash provided by operating
activities during fiscal 2023 totaled $5.5 million. Our net income was $7.1 million, which includes $3.9 million of
unrealized gains on
 certain equity investments, as well as $857,000 of depreciation and amortization and $766,000 of non-cash stock compensation.
Additionally,
our accounts receivable decreased by $5.4 million due to the variability in the timing of shipments and our prepaid expenses and deferred
income taxes decreased by $494,000 and $264,000, respectively. Offsetting this net inflow of cash, inventory increased by $3.5 million
and our accounts
payable and accrued expenses and deferred revenue decreased by $1.1 million and $1.0 million, respectively.

Net cash used in investing
activities in fiscal 2024 was $2.2 million and related to the exercise of the Monogram Warrant for cash in the amount of
$1,250,000 (See
Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this report) as well as equipment and improvements purchases in
the amount of $983,000.
Net cash used in investing
activities in fiscal 2023 was $885,000. During the 2023 fiscal year, we made capital expenditures in the amount of
$974,000 primarily
for the Franklin Property and we received proceeds of $89,000 from the sales of marketable equity securities.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing
activities for fiscal 2024 totaled $4.3 million and related primarily to the $3.5 million repurchase of 184,901 shares of
our common stock
pursuant to our share repurchase program, as well as $816,000 of net principal payments related to our various loans from MBT more
fully
described in Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this report.
Net cash used in financing
activities for fiscal 2023 totaled $2.5 million and included $809,000 in net principal payments of various notes payable
to MBT, and $1.5
million related to the repurchase of 86,422 shares of our common stock pursuant to our share repurchase program, as well as payment of
$223,000 of employee payroll taxes related to the award of 37,500 shares of common stock to employees under previously granted performance
awards.
Liquidity Requirements for the Next 12 Months
 
 As of June 30, 2024, our
working capital was $23.7 million. We currently believe that our existing cash and cash equivalent balances, together
with our account
receivable balances, and anticipated cash flows from operations 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 liquidate some or all of our investment portfolio
or borrow against our revolving loan with
MBT (See Notes 7 and 14 to consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this report),
under which we had availability of $4.0 million as of
June 30, 2024.
 
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 additional capital to fund our operations, we can
borrow against our revolving loan with
MBT.
 
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;
(b) Selection of an Investment
Committee responsible for implementing the Policy; and
(c) Objectives and criteria under which investments may be made.
The
Investment Committee is comprised of Messrs. Swenson (Chair), Cabillot,
and Van Kirk. Both Mr. Cabillot and Mr. Swenson are active
investors with extensive portfolio management expertise. We leverage
the experience of these committee members to make investment decisions for the
investment of our surplus operating capital or borrowed
funds. Additionally, many of our securities holdings include stocks of public companies that
either Messrs. Swenson or Cabillot or both
may own from time to time either individually or through the investment funds that they manage, or other
companies whose boards they sit
 on. The Investment Committee approved each of the investments comprising the $5.8 million of investments in
marketable public equity securities
held at June 30, 2024, which amount includes unrealized holding gains in the amount of $3.1 million at June 30,
2024.
24 

 
In December 2019, our Board
approved a new share repurchase program authorizing us to repurchase up to one million shares of our common
stock, as the prior repurchase
 plan, authorized by our Board in 2013, authorizing the repurchase of 750,000 shares of common stock was nearing
completion. In accordance
 with, and as part of, these share repurchase programs, our Board has approved the adoption of several prearranged share
repurchase plans
intended to qualify for the safe harbor Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act (“10b5-1 Plan” or “Plan”).
During the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2024, we repurchased 184,901 shares at an aggregate cost, inclusive of fees under the Plan, of $3.5 million.
During the fiscal
year ended June 30, 2023, we repurchased 86,422 shares at an aggregate cost, inclusive of fees under the Plan, of $1.5 million. On a
cumulative
basis, since 2013 we have repurchased a total of 1,381,349 shares under the share repurchase programs at an aggregate cost, inclusive
of fees
under the Plan, of $20.7 million. All repurchases under the 10b5-1 Plans were administered through an independent broker.

Report
of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors
Pro-Dex, Inc.
 
Opinion on the Financial Statements
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Pro-Dex,
Inc. (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated
statements of income, shareholders’ equity,
and cash flows for the years then ended, 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, 2024 and 2023, 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 provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
 
27 

 
 
Critical Audit Matters
 
Critical audit matters are matters
arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were
communicated or required to be
communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to
 the financial statements and (2) involved our
especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there are no
critical audit matters.

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,
thoracic, and craniomaxillofacial markets. We have patented adaptive torque-limiting technology 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.
 
In August 2020, we formed a wholly
owned subsidiary, PDEX Franklin, LLC (“PDEX Franklin”), to hold title for an approximate 25,000 square
foot industrial building
in Tustin, California (the “Franklin Property”) that we acquired on November 6, 2020, in order to allow for the continued
growth of
our business. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and PDEX Franklin and all significant
inter-company accounts
and transactions have been eliminated. This subsidiary has no separate operations.
 
 
2.
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 consolidated 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
(“U.S. GAAP”) in all material respects and have been consistently applied in preparing the accompanying
consolidated financial statements.
Net Sales
Net sales consists of the
sale of products and services, as well as shipping and handling billed to our customers and is net of volume rebates and
discounts and
excludes sales tax.
Revenue Recognition
 
Revenue from product sales is recognized
 as promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in Accounting Standards
Update (“ASU”) 2014-09,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers once our contract(s) with a customer and the performance obligations in the contract
have
been identified, and the transaction price has been allocated to the performance obligations and revenue is recorded when (or as) we satisfy
each
performance obligation, generally upon shipment.
Revenue
 from services, typically non-recurring engineering (“NRE”) services related to the design or customization of a medical device,
 is
typically recognized over time. The customer funding for costs incurred for NRE services is deferred and subsequently recognized as
revenue as under-
lying products or services are delivered to the customers. Additionally, expenses incurred, up to the customer agreed
funding amount, are deferred as an
asset and recognized as cost of sales when the under-lying products or services are delivered to the
customer. The deferred customer funding and costs
result in recognition of deferred costs (asset) and deferred revenue (liability) on
our consolidated balance sheets.
One of our customer contracts
can give rise to variable consideration due to volume rebates. We estimate variable consideration at the most likely
amount we will receive
from this customer. Our estimates of variable consideration are based on an assessment of our anticipated performance and all
information
(historical, current, and forecasted) that is reasonably available to us.
Returns of our product for
credit are minimal; accordingly, we do not establish a reserve for product returns at the time of sale.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales consists primarily
of the purchase price of goods and cost of services rendered including freight costs. Cost of sales also includes
production labor and
 overhead costs for all of our manufacturing and assembly operations, which overhead includes all indirect labor and expenses
associated
with our inspection, warehousing, material planning and quality departments.

PRO-DEX, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
 
  
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. An expected loss on development service contracts is recognized immediately in cost of sales. Losses recorded in fiscal 2024
and 2023 related to
these services totaled $118,000 and $108,000, respectively.
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 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, 2024 and 2023, 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 represented by expected
credit losses. Management
determines the allowance for credit losses based on facts and circumstances related to specific accounts and 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.
 
Leases
 
Our operating lease consists solely of our corporate headquarters located
in Irvine, California. We do not have any leases classified as financing
leases. We classify arrangements meeting the definition of a
lease as operating or financing leases, and leases are recorded on the consolidated balance
sheets as both a right-of-use asset (“ROU”)
and lease liability, calculated by discounting the fixed lease payments over the term of the lease term at the rate
implicit in the lease
or the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease liabilities are increased by interest and reduced by payments each period, and
the
ROU asset is amortized over the lease term. For operating leases, interest on the lease liability and the amortization of the ROU
asset result in straight-line
rent expense over the lease term. Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement
date based on the present value of lease payments
over the lease term. Variable lease expenses are recorded when incurred. We exclude
short-term leases having an initial term of 12 month or less as an
accounting policy election, and instead recognize rent expense on a
straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
 
We assess the impairment of ROU
assets when an event or change in circumstance indicates that the carrying value of such ROU assets may not
be recoverable. If an event
or a change in circumstance indicates that the carrying value of an ROU asset may not be recoverable and the estimated fair
value attributable
to the ROU asset is less than its carrying value, an impairment loss equal to the excess of the ROU’s carrying value over its estimated
fair
value is recognized.

Deferred Costs
 
Deferred costs reflect costs
incurred related to NRE services under the terms of the related development and/or supply contracts. These costs get
recorded to cost
of sales in the period that the revenue is recognized.
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 as of the measurement date. On an ongoing
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, 2024 and 2023, there was approximately $275,000 and $637,000,
respectively, of inventory
in-transit from suppliers.
 
Investments
Investments at June 30,
2024 and 2023, consist of marketable equity securities of publicly held companies. Investments at June 30, 2023 also
included a warrant
(the “Monogram Warrant”) to purchase common stock of a company whose common stock first became publicly traded in May 2023,
which we exercised in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 (See Note 4). 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 presented
separately within other income and expense on the consolidated income statement. All of our investments consist
of common stocks of public companies
that are either thinly traded or we hold a significant (in excess of 5%) interest in. These investments
were subject to a valuation analysis as of June 30, 2024
and 2023.
 
Long-lived Assets
We review the recoverability
of long-lived assets, consisting of the land and building that we own, equipment, and improvements, including
leasehold improvements,
when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate carrying values may not be recoverable.
Our building, equipment and
improvements are recorded at historical cost and depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the
following periods:
 
Building
Thirty years
Equipment
Three to ten years
Improvements
Shorter of the remaining life of the underlying building, lease term, or the asset’s estimated useful
life
Intangibles
Intangibles
consist of legal fees incurred in connection
with patent applications. Our patent costs are being amortized over a period of four to seven
years. The expense associated with the amortization
of the patent costs is recognized in research and development costs.
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. Net deferred tax assets or liabilities at both June 30, 2024 and 2023
consisted primarily
of basis differences related to unrealized gain/loss related to investments, stock-based compensation, fixed assets,
accrued expenses, and inventories. Our
deferred tax assets also includes capitalization of our research expenditures as prescribed by
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
Significant management judgment
is required in determining the provision for income taxes, the recoverability of deferred tax assets, and the
extinguishment of deferred
tax liabilities. 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 and deferred tax liabilities will be extinguished. 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 Accounting Standards Codification (“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% 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, 2024 and 2023, and throughout the fiscal years then ended, we had deposits
in
excess of federally insured limits. Credit sales are made to medical device distributors, 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.
 
Segment Reporting
 
We have identified one business segment which management also considers
to be one reporting unit as our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”)
allocates resources, assesses performance, and manages our
business as one segment. We have reached this conclusion because 99% of our business relates
to designing, manufacturing, and repairing
medical devices. We primarily design, sell, and repair handheld medical devices and accessories. We provide
medical devices, NRE and proto-type
services, as well as repairs to all our customers and we utilize one machine shop and purchasing team to procure and
manufacture all the
products that we sell. Our CEO utilizes consolidated operating income to analyze our business operations.
 
Compensation Plans
 
We recognize compensation
 expense for the share-based awards that vest subject to market conditions 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 of our Board of Directors and we recognize compensation expense, based on the estimated fair value of the award, on a straight-line
basis over
the requisite service period.
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, supply chain disruptions, 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 credit losses, accrued warranty expense, investments, inventory valuation, the carrying value of long-lived assets,
 and the
recoverability/extinguishment of deferred income tax assets and liabilities.

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 issuance of all potential common stock equivalents, consisting of outstanding stock options and performance awards
as discussed
in Note 12, 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 well as, at June 30, 2023, a warrant (the Monogram
Warrant) to purchase
outstanding stock of a publicly traded company. Due to either the thinly traded nature of these stocks or our significant ownership
percentage,
in excess of 5% of shares outstanding, all of our investments are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy as of June 30,
2024. Due to
the lack of an active market for the Monogram Warrant, the estimated fair value of the warrant was measured using pricing
models with no observable
inputs and was therefore considered a Level 3 measurement within the valuation hierarchy. The fair value of
all of our investments at June 30, 2024 and
2023 was based upon a valuation analysis.
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 $14,000 and $4,000 for the fiscal years
ended
June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
 
In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU
No 2022-02 (Topic 326) Financial Instruments – Credit Losses to create a new model for credit losses that
reflects current
expected credit losses (“CECL”) over the lifetime of the underlying accounts receivable. The CECL methodology is applicable
to our trade
accounts receivable and our deferred costs. We adopted ASU 2022-02 effective July 1, 2023, and the adoption did not have
a material impact on our
financial statements.
 
Recently Issued and Not Yet Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In
December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes: Improvements to Income Tas Disclosures (Topic 740). ASU 2023-09
expands
the existing rules on income tax disclosures. This update requires entities to disclose specific categories in the tax rate reconciliation,
provide
additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold and disclose additional information about income
taxes paid on an annual
basis. The new disclosure requirements are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early
adoption is permitted. We are currently
evaluating these new expanded disclosure requirements.
In
November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting: Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic280) which
expands disclosure requirements to require entities to disclose significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to or easily
 computed from
information regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker. This update also requires all annual disclosures currently
required by Topic 280 to be
disclosed in interim periods. The new disclosure requirements are effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2023, and interim periods within
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. Although our
business, as currently operated, has only one segment, we are
evaluating the new disclosure requirements to ensure compliance.

The timing of revenue recognition,

costs on our consolidated
balance sheets) and customer advances and deposits (presented as deferred revenue on our consolidated balance sheets), where
applicable.
Amounts are generally billed as work progresses in accordance with agreed upon milestones. The over-time revenue recognition model consists
of NRE and prototype services and typically relates to NRE services related to the evaluation, design or customization of a medical device
and is typically
recognized over time utilizing an input measure of progress based on costs incurred compared to the estimated total costs
upon completion. During the
fiscal years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we recorded $0 and $1.0 million, respectively, of revenue that
had been included in deferred revenue in the
prior year. The revenue recognized from the contract liabilities consisted of satisfying
our performance obligations during the normal course of business.

Marketable
equity securities at June 30, 2024 and 2023 had an aggregate cost basis of $3,964,000 and
$2,714,000, respectively. Both current and
long-term marketable equity securities include equity securities of public companies
that are thinly traded. We classified certain investments as long term in
nature because even if we decide to sell the stocks, we may
not be able to sell our position within one year. At June 30, 2024, the investments included net
unrealized gains of $1.8 million (gross
unrealized gains of $2.1 million offset by gross unrealized losses of $261,000). At June 30, 2023, the investments,
excluding the Monogram
Warrant, included net unrealized losses of $219,000 (gross unrealized losses of $286,000 offset by gross unrealized gains of
$67,000).
Of the total
 marketable equity securities at June 30, 2024 and 2023, $987,000 and $1,134,000, respectively, represent an investment in the
common stock
of Air T, Inc. Two of our Board members, Messrs. Swenson and Cabillot, are also board members of Air T,
Inc. and both either individually
or through affiliates own an equity interest in Air T, Inc. Mr. Swenson, our Chairman, also serves as
the chief executive officer and chairman of Air T, Inc.
Another of our Board members is employed by Air T as its Chief of Staff. The shares
have been purchased through 10b5-1 Plans that, in accordance with our
internal policies regarding the approval of related-party transactions,
were approved by our then three Board members that are not affiliated with Air T, Inc.
On October 6,
 2023, in conjunction with the execution of a supply agreement with Monogram Technologies Inc., formerly Monogram
Orthopaedics Inc. (“Monogram”),
we exercised the Monogram Warrant in full in cash totaling $1,250,000 and received 1,828,551 shares of Monogram
common stock (NasdaqCM:
MGRM). On the date of exercise our unrealized loss on the investment was approximately $38,000. The fair value of the
Monogram common
stock of $3.2 million, is reflected in marketable equity securities – short term in the table above as of June 30, 2024. Our Chief
Executive Officer, Richard Van Kirk (“Rick”), is also a Monogram board member.
At June 30, 2023,
the Monogram Warrant was exercisable into a total of 1,823,058 shares of Monogram’s outstanding stock. The estimated fair
value
of the Monogram Warrant at June 30, 2023 was $6,160,000, using a Black-Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions:

extensive
portfolio management expertise. We leverage the experience of these committee members to make investment decisions for the investment
of our
surplus operating capital or borrowed funds. Additionally, many of our securities holdings include stocks of public companies that
either Messrs. Swenson
or Cabillot or both may own from time to time either individually or through the investment funds that they manage,

Deferred income taxes reflect the net effects of loss

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,
2024, our deferred
tax asset valuation allowance primarily consists of state net operating loss carryforwards for states in which we have filed a final return.
For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we recorded a net decrease to our valuation allowance of $1,000 and $7,000, respectively,
on the basis
of management’s reassessment of the amount of our deferred tax assets that are more likely than not to be realized.
As of June 30, 2024, 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 no federal or state research and development and alternative minimum tax credit carry forwards at June 30, 2024.
As of June 30, 2024,
we have accrued $262,000 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 a cash outlay.

Although it is reasonably

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, 2024,
$41,000 of interest
applicable to our unrecognized tax benefits have been accrued.
We are subject to U.S. federal
income tax, as well as income tax of California, Colorado, and Massachusetts. We are currently open to audit under
the statute of limitations
by the Internal Revenue Service for the years ended June 30, 2021, and later.  However, because of our prior net operating
losses
and research credit carryovers, our tax years from June 30, 2013, are open to audit.

NOTES PAYABLE AND FINANCING TRANSACTIONS
 
Minnesota Bank & Trust
 
On
November 6, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), PDEX Franklin, a newly created wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, purchased the
Franklin
Property. A portion of the purchase price was financed by a loan from MBT to PDEX Franklin in the principal amount of approximately
$5.2 million (the
“Property Loan”) pursuant to a Loan Agreement, dated as of the Closing Date, between PDEX Franklin and MBT
(the “Property Loan Agreement”) and
corresponding Term Note (the “Property Note”) issued by PDEX Franklin in favor
of MBT on the Closing Date. The Property Loan is secured by the
Franklin Property pursuant to a Deed of Trust with Assignment of Leases
and Rents, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing in favor of MBT (the “Deed”)
and by an Assignment of Leases and Rents by
PDEX Franklin in favor of MBT (the “Rents Assignment”). We paid loan origination fees to MBT on the
Closing Date in the amount
of $26,037.
 
The
Property Loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.55% per annum, which is subject to a 3% increase upon an event of default. Accrued interest
was paid on December 1, 2020, and both principal and interest in the amount of approximately $30,000 are due and payable on the first
 day of each
subsequent month until the maturity date of November 1, 2030 (the “Maturity Date”), at which time a balloon payment
in the amount of $3.1 million is due.
Any prepayment of the Property Loan (other than monthly scheduled interest and principal payments),
is subject to a prepayment fee equal to 4% of the
principal amount prepaid for any prepayment made during the first or second year, 3%
of the principal amount prepaid for any prepayment made during the
third or fourth year, 2% of the principal amount prepaid for any prepayment
made during the fifth or sixth year, and 1% of the principal amount prepaid for
any prepayment made during the seventh or eighth year.
 The Property Loan Agreement, Property Note, Deed, and Rents Assignment each contain
representations, warranties, covenants, and events
of default that are customary for a loan of this type. The balance owed on the Property Loan at June 30,
2024 is $4,551,000.

On
the Closing Date, we also entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with MBT (the “Amended Credit Agreement”),
providing
for a $7,525,000 amended and restated term loan (the “Term Loan A”), a $1,000,000 term loan (the “Term Loan
B”), and a $2,000,000 amended and restated
revolving loan, evidenced by an Amended and Restated Term Note A (“Term Note A”),
a Term Note B, and an Amended and Restated Revolving Credit
Note (the “Revolving Note”) made by us in favor of MBT. The Term
Note A had an outstanding principal balance of $3,770,331 as of the Closing Date and
could be borrowed against through May 30, 2021 (the
“Commitment Period”). During the third quarter ended March 31, 2021, we borrowed an additional
$3,000,000 against Term Note
A for the purpose of repurchasing our common stock as described in Note 13. The Term Note B had a zero balance as of the
Closing Date
and we borrowed the full $1,000,000 during the third quarter ended March 31, 2021, for the purpose of making improvements to the Franklin
property described in Note 4.
 
The
Term Loan A matures on November 1, 2027 and bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.84% per annum. Initial payments on the Term Loan A of
interest only were due on December 1, 2020 through June 1, 2021. Commencing July 1, 2021 and continuing on the first day of each month
thereafter until
the maturity date, we are required to make payments of principal and interest on Term Loan
A of approximately $97,000 plus any additional accrued and
unpaid interest through the date of payment. The balance owed on Term Loan
A as of June 30, 2024, is $3,834,000.
 
The
Term Loan B matures on November 1, 2027 and bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.84% per annum. Initial payments on the Term Loan B of
interest only were due on December 1, 2020 through June 1, 2021. Commencing July 1, 2021 and continuing on the first day of each month
thereafter until
the maturity date, we are required to make payments of principal and interest on Term Loan B of approximately $15,000,
plus any additional accrued and
unpaid interest through the date of payment. As of March 31, 2021, we had drawn fully against Term Note
B and the balance outstanding on Term Note B
was $571,000 on June 30, 2024.
 
On December 29, 2022
(the “Second Amendment Date”), we entered into Amendment No. 2 to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the
“Second
Amendment”) with MBT, which amends the Amended Credit Agreement and provides for a supplemental line of credit in the amount of
$3,000,000 (the “Supplemental Loan”). The Supplemental Loan is evidenced by a Supplemental Revolving Credit Note (the “Supplemental
Note”) made
by us in favor of MBT. The purpose of the Supplemental Loan is for financing acquisitions and repurchasing shares of
 our common stock. The
Supplemental Loan may be borrowed against from time to time through its maturity date of December 29, 2024, on the
terms set forth in the Amended
Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2024, no amounts have been drawn against the Supplemental Loan.
 
The Revolving Loan
was also amended (the “Amended Revolving Loan”) in connection with the Second Amendment to extend the maturity date
from November
5, 2023 to December 29, 2024, to increase the Revolving Loan facility from $2,000,000 to $7,000,000, and to increase the interest rate
on
the Revolving Loan (as described below), evidenced by an Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Note (the “Amended Revolving Note”)
made by us in
favor of MBT. The Amended Revolving Loan may be borrowed against from time to time by us through its maturity date on the
terms set forth in the
Amended Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2024, we had drawn $3,000,000 against the Amended Revolving Loan. Loan
origination fees in the amount of
$16,000 were paid to MBT in conjunction with the Amended Revolving Loan and the Supplemental Loan.
 
The Amended Revolving Loan and Supplemental
Loan bear interest at an annual rate equal to the greater of (a) 5.0% or (b) SOFR for a one-month
period from the website of the CME Group
Benchmark Administration Limited plus 2.5% (the “Adjusted Term SOFR Rate”). Commencing on the first day
of each month after
we initially borrow against the Amended Revolving Loan and/or the Supplemental Loan and each month thereafter until maturity, we
are required
to pay all accrued and unpaid interest on the Amended Revolving Loan and Supplemental Loan through the date of payment. Any principal
on
the Amended Revolving Loan and/or Supplemental Loan that is not previously prepaid shall be due and payable in full on the maturity
date (or earlier
termination of the Amended Revolving Loan and/or Supplemental Loan).
 
On
December 29, 2023, we entered into Amendment No. 3 to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which extended the maturity date of the
Amended
Revolving Loan and the Supplemental Loan from December 29, 2024, to December 29, 2025.

Any
payment on the Term Loan A, the Term Loan B, the Amended Revolving Loan or the Supplemental Loan (collectively, 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 all Loans will be increased by 3% and MBT may, at its option,
declare all of the Loans immediately
due and payable in full. The Loans are secured by substantially all of our assets pursuant to a Security
Agreement entered into between us and MBT on
September 6, 2018.
 
The
Amended Credit Agreement, Security Agreement, Term Note A, Term Note B, Amended Revolving Note and Supplemental Note contain
representations
and warranties, affirmative, negative and financial covenants, and events of default that are customary for loans of this type. We believe
that
we are in compliance with all of our debt covenants as of June 30, 2024, but there can be no assurance that we will remain in compliance
for the duration of
the term of these loans.

Retirement Savings 401(k) Plan
The Pro-Dex, Inc. Retirement
Savings 401(k) Plan (the “401(k) Plan”) is a defined contribution plan we administer that covers substantially all
our employees
and is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. Employees are eligible to participate
in the 401(k) Plan when they have attained 19 years of age and then can enter into the 401(k) Plan on the first day of each calendar quarter.
Participants are
eligible to receive non-discretionary matching contributions by the Company equal to 25% of their contributions up to
5% of eligible compensation through
December 15, 2022 and 50% of their contributions up to 5% of eligible compensation thereafter. For
the fiscal years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we
recognized compensation expense amounting to $188,000 and $164,000, respectively,
in connection with the 401(k) Plan. During our fiscal years ended
June 30, 2024 and 2023, we used approximately $63,000 and $13,000, respectively,
of forfeited match contributions to reduce our match expense.

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
Stock Option Plans
Through 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”). The Employee Stock Option Plan and Director’s
Stock Option Plan were terminated in June 2014 and December 2014, respectively. No options
were granted under the Former Stock Option
Plans during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 and all remaining outstanding stock options were
exercised during fiscal 2023.
In September 2016, our Board
approved the establishment of the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan, which was approved by our shareholders at our 2016
Annual Meeting. The 2016
Equity Incentive Plan provides for the award of up to 1,500,000 shares of our 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.
Performance Awards
In December 2017, the Compensation
Committee of our Board of Directors granted 200,000 performance awards to our employees under the 2016
Equity Incentive Plan, which upon
vesting 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. In February 2020, the Compensation Committee reallocated 48,000 previously
forfeited awards, having the same remaining terms and conditions, to certain current employees. The weighted average fair value of the
performance
awards granted in fiscal 2020 was $16.90, calculated using the weighted-average fair market value for each award, using a
Monte Carlo simulation. In
December 2021, the Compensation Committee reallocated an additional 17,500 previously forfeited awards, having
 the same remaining terms and
conditions, to other employees. The weighted average fair value of the performance awards reallocated in
2021 was $20.34, calculated using the weighted
average fair market value for each award, using a Monte Carlo simulation. In October 2023,
the Compensation Committee reallocated an additional 15,200
previously forfeited awards, having the same remaining terms and conditions,
to other employees. The weighted average fair value of the performance
awards reallocated in 2023 was $10.04, calculated using the weighted
average fair market value for each award, using a Monte Carlo simulation. We
recorded share-based compensation expense of $106,000 in
 each of the fiscal years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, related to these
performance awards. We recognize forfeitures for
 our performance awards as they occur. On June 30, 2024, there was approximately $55,000 of
unrecognized compensation cost related to these
non-vested performance awards expected to be expensed over the weighted-average period of 1.0 years.

On July 1, 2022, it was determined
by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors that the vesting of performance awards for 37,500
shares of common stock had been
achieved. Each participant elected a net issuance to cover their individual withholding taxes and therefore we issued
23,641 shares and
paid $223,000 of participant-related payroll tax liabilities.

Non-Qualified Stock Options
In December 2020, the Compensation
Committee of our Board of Directors granted 310,000 non-qualified stock options to our directors and
certain employees under the 2016
Equity Incentive Plan. Whether any stock options vest, and the amount that does vest, is tied to the completion of service
periods that
range from 18 months to 10.5 years at inception and the achievement of our common stock trading at certain pre-determined prices. We
recorded
compensation expense of $490,000 and $647,000 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, related to these options.
The
weighted average fair value of the stock option awards granted was $16.72, calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation. We recognize
forfeitures for our
non-qualified stock options as they occur. As of June 30, 2024, there was approximately $1.6 million of unrecognized
compensation cost related to these
non-vested non-qualified stock options.
In February 2021, the Compensation
Committee of our Board of Directors granted 62,000 non-qualified stock options to our directors and certain
employees under the 2016 Equity
Incentive Plan. Whether any stock options vest, and the amount that does vest, was tied to the completion of service
periods that ranged
from 4 months to 1.3 years at inception and the achievement of our common stock trading at certain pre-determined prices. Of these
62,000
stock options, 57,750 vested on July 1, 2021, as our common stock met the pre-determined prices set forth in the underlying agreements.
We
recorded compensation expense of $182,000 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 related to these options. The weighted average fair
value of the stock
option awards granted was $3.16, calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation. In December 2021, the Compensation Committee
of our Board of Directors
granted 5,000 previously forfeited non-qualified stock options to another employee.

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 at which
participant’s
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 our 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.
In October 2023, our Board
 approved an amendment to the ESPP (the “ESPP Amendment”), which extended the term of the ESPP for an
additional ten years
from January 2025 to January 2035. The ESPP Amendment was approved by our shareholders at our 2023 Annual Meeting.
During the fiscal years ended
June 30, 2024 and 2023, shares totaling 3,004 and 5,459, respectively, were purchased pursuant to the ESPP and
allocated to participating
employees based upon their contributions at weighted- average prices of $16.64 and $14.21, respectively. On a cumulative basis,
since
the inception of the ESPP, employees have purchased a total of 35,502 shares. During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we
recorded
stock compensation expense in the amount of $9,000 and $14,000, respectively, relating to the ESPP.

NET INCOME PER SHARE
 
We
calculate basic earnings per share by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting
period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the effects of potentially dilutive securities. The summary of the basic and diluted earnings
per share calculations
for the years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 is as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

COMMON STOCK – Share Repurchase Program
In December 2019, our Board
approved a new share repurchase program authorizing us to repurchase up to one million shares of our common
stock, as the prior repurchase
plan authorized by our Board in 2013 was nearing completion. In accordance with, and as part of, these shares repurchase
programs, our
Board approved the adoption of several prearranged share repurchase plans intended to qualify for the safe harbor provided by Rule 10b5-1
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“10b5-1 Plan” or “Plan”). During the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2024, we repurchased 184,901
shares at an aggregate cost, inclusive of fees under the Plan, of $3.5
million. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, we repurchased 86,422
shares at
an aggregate cost, inclusive of fees under the Plan, of $1.5
million. On a cumulative basis, since 2013 we have repurchased a total of 1,381,349
shares
under the share repurchase programs at an aggregate cost, inclusive of fess under the Plan, of $20.7
million. All repurchases under the 10b5-1 Plans were
administered through an independent broker.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On July 31, 2024 (the
“Fourth Amendment Date”), we entered into Amendment No. 4 to our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the
“Fourth
Amendment”) with MBT which amends the Company’s Amended Credit Agreement. The Fourth Amendment (i) provides for a new term
loan,
Term Loan C, in the amount of $5,000,000, (ii) uses the proceeds from Term Loan C to repay the entire $3,000,000 balance that was
outstanding on the
Fourth Amendment Date under the Amended Revolving Loan, and (iii) terminates the Supplemental Loan, under which
no amounts had been drawn. Loan
origination fees in the amount of $10,000 were paid to MBT in conjunction with Term Loan C.

ITEM 9.
CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
 
None.
ITEM 9A.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Our Chief Executive Officer
(our principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer and principal accounting
officer) have
concluded, based on their evaluation as of June 30, 2024, 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”)) were
not 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, principal
financial
officer, and principal accounting 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, and as a result of the material weaknesses
described below, our management concluded that our
internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of June 30, 2024.
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 Form 10-K 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 certain smaller
reporting companies that permit us to provide only management’s attestation in this annual report.
Material Weaknesses
A material weakness is described as a deficiency,
or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a
reasonable possibility that a material
misstatement of a company’s annual and interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely
basis.
The Company did not maintain
effective controls related to the existence of inventory. In connection with our year-end procedures, we performed
a full physical inventory
which contained errors. Although we successfully completed our physical inventory observation and recorded all errors identified,
based
 on the material value of inventory we own, management determined that reliance on other compensating controls, including cycle counts
 and
controls related to inventory receipts and issuances, was insufficient to ensure that there is not a reasonable possibility that a
material misstatement of our
annual or interim financial statements would not be prevented or detected in a timely basis.
These material weaknesses
did not result in any material misstatement in our financial statements or disclosures. Management has concluded that
our consolidated
financial statements included in this report present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations,
and cash
flows for the periods presented, in conformity with U.S. GAAP.
 
53 

 
Remediation Measures
To address the material
weakness related to controls over the existence of inventory, the Company will reinforce the following:
· Continue our robust cycle count
process which we implemented in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 for all of fiscal 2025
· Ensure adequate review and oversight
of cycle count procedures and results
· Providing training related to standard
operating procedures and internal controls to key stakeholders within the stockroom, material handling
and operations teams.
 
Remediation Measures
related to the Valuation and Disclosure of Investments
As previously
disclosed, material weaknesses existed relating to the controls related to the valuation and disclosure of level 3 investments
during
fiscal 2023 and level 2 investments during the three months ended December 31, 2023. During fiscal 2024, we designed internal
 controls related to
valuation and disclosure of level 3 financial instruments pursuant to the guidance in ASC Topic, Derivatives
and Hedging, and determined that we did not
hold any level 3 financial instruments as of June 30, 2024. These new internal
controls will be applied to any future derivative or level 3 instrument that we
receive. We also designed and implemented internal
controls related to the review and approval of the valuation and disclosure of level 2 investments that
were implemented during the
fourth quarter of fiscal 2024.
Changes in Internal Control
Over Financial Reporting
Except as discussed above,
during the quarter ended June 30, 2024, there were no changes in our 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, our internal
controls
over financial reporting.

EXHIBIT 4.1
Description of the Company’s Common
Stock
Registered Pursuant to Section 12 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934
The following summary
of Pro-Dex, Inc.’s common stock does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference
to
our Articles of Incorporation, as amended (“Articles of Incorporation”), and Amended and Restated Bylaws (“Bylaws”).
For a complete description of
the terms and provisions of our capital stock, including our common stock, refer to the Articles of Incorporation
and the Bylaws, which are filed as exhibits
to this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
General
As of September 5, 2024,
 our authorized capital stock consists of (i) 50,000,000 shares of common stock, no par value per share, and (ii)
10,000,000 shares of
preferred stock, no par value per share. As of September 4, 2024, 3,358,057 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding and
no
shares of preferred stock were issued and outstanding. Our common stock is our only class of securities registered under Section 12
of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934.
Common Stock
The holders of our common
stock are entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of our
shareholders, including
the election of directors, and do not have cumulative voting rights. Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any outstanding
of our preferred stock, holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably those dividends, if any, as may be declared by our Board
of Directors out of
legally available funds. Subject to the rights of any outstanding preferred stock, upon the Company’s liquidation,
dissolution or winding-up, the holders of
common stock will be entitled to share ratably in the net assets legally available for distribution
to our shareholders after the payment of all of our debts and
other liabilities. Holders of common stock have no preemptive or conversion
rights or other subscription rights and there are no redemption or sinking fund
provisions applicable to our common stock. All outstanding
shares of common stock are fully paid and nonassessable.
Our Board of Directors has
the authority, without further action by our shareholders (other than such approval rights as may be granted to any
outstanding series
of preferred stock), to designate and issue one or more series of preferred stock and to fix the rights, powers, preferences, qualifications,
limitations and restrictions of each series of preferred stock to the maximum extent permitted by Colorado law. The issuance of preferred
stock could
decrease the amount of earnings and assets available for distribution to holders of common stock or adversely affect the rights
and powers, including voting
rights, of the holders of common stock. The existence of authorized but unissued preferred stock may also
discourage or render more difficult attempts to
take control of the Company, as described in more detail below under “Anti-Takeover
Provisions of Governing Documents.”
Broadridge Corporate Issuer
Solutions, Inc. is the transfer agent for our common stock.
Our common stock is listed
on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “PDEX”.
Anti-Takeover Provisions of Governing Documents
Our Bylaws require that
our shareholders satisfy certain advance notice and other requirements in order to properly submit proposals or director
nominees for
consideration at our annual meetings of shareholders.
As discussed above, our
Board of Directors has the authority, without further action by our shareholders (other than such approval rights as may
be granted to
 any outstanding series of preferred stock), to designate and issue one or more series of preferred stock and to fix the rights, powers,
preferences, qualifications, limitations, and restrictions of each series of preferred stock to the maximum extent permitted by Colorado
law. The existence
of authorized but unissued preferred stock may enable our Board of Directors to render more difficult or to discourage
an attempt to obtain control of the
Company by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise. Among other things, if in
the due exercise of its fiduciary obligations, our Board
of Directors were to determine that a takeover proposal is not in the best interests
of the Company and our shareholders, our Board of Directors could cause
shares of preferred stock to be designated and issued without
further shareholder approval in one or more private offerings or other transactions that might
dilute the voting or other rights of the
proposed acquirer or insurgent shareholder or shareholder group.

any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant
role in the registrant’s internal
control over financial reporting.

is or was an “Executive Officer” (as such term is defined in Rule 10D-1 adopted under the Exchange Act and
the Clawback Listing
Standards) of the Company (each, a “Covered Executive”).
Administration
This Policy shall be administered by the Compensation
Committee. Any determinations made by the Committee shall be final and binding on all affected
individuals.
Recoupment; Accounting Restatement
In the event the Company is required to prepare
an accounting restatement of its financial statements due to the Company’s material noncompliance with
any financial reporting requirement
 under the Securities Laws, including any required accounting restatement to correct an error in previously issued
financial statements
that is material to the previously issued financial statements or that would result in a material misstatement if the error were corrected
in the current period or left uncorrected in the current period, the Committee will require reimbursement or forfeiture of any excess
 Incentive
Compensation (as defined below) received by any Covered Executive during the three completed fiscal years immediately preceding
the date on which the
Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement.
Incentive Compensation
For purposes of this Policy, “Incentive
Compensation” shall mean any of the following; provided that, such compensation is granted, earned, or vested
based wholly or
in part on the attainment of a financial reporting measure:
·
Annual bonuses and other short- and long-term cash incentives.
·
Stock options.
·
Stock appreciation rights.
·
Restricted stock.
·
Restricted stock units.
·
Performance shares.
·
Performance units.
Excess Incentive Compensation: Amount Subject
to Recovery
The amount to be recovered will be the excess
of the Incentive Compensation paid to the Covered Executive based on the erroneous data over the Incentive
Compensation that would have
been paid to the Covered Executive had it been based on the restated results, as determined by the Committee, without
regard to any taxes
paid by the Covered Executive in respect of the Incentive Compensation paid based on the erroneous data.
For recoverable Incentive Compensation based
 on stock price or total shareholder return, where the amount of erroneously awarded Incentive
Compensation is not subject to mathematical
 recalculation directly from the information in a restatement, the amount must be based on a reasonable
estimate by the Committee of the
 effect of the restatement on the stock price or total shareholder return, as applicable, upon which the recoverable
Incentive Compensation
was received, and the Company must maintain documentation of that reasonable estimate and provide such documentation to
Nasdaq.
 

 
Method of Recoupment
The Committee will determine, in its sole discretion,
the method for recouping Incentive Compensation hereunder which may include, without limitation:
(a) requiring reimbursement of cash Incentive
Compensation previously paid;
(b) seeking recovery of any gain realized on
the vesting, exercise, settlement, sale, transfer, or other disposition of any equity-based awards;
(c) offsetting the recouped amount from any
compensation otherwise owed by the Company to the Covered Executive;
(d) cancelling outstanding vested or unvested
equity awards; and
(e) taking any other remedial and recovery
action permitted by law, as determined by the Committee.
No Indemnification
The Company shall not indemnify any Covered
Executives against the loss of any incorrectly awarded Incentive Compensation.
Interpretation
The Committee is authorized to interpret and
construe this Policy and to make all determinations necessary, appropriate, or advisable for the administration
of this Policy. It is
intended that this Policy be interpreted in a manner that is consistent with the requirements of Section 10D of the Exchange Act, any
applicable rules or standards adopted by the SEC, and the Clawback Listing Standards.
 

 
 
Effective Date
This Policy shall be effective as of the date
it is adopted by the Committee (the “Effective Date”) and shall apply to Incentive Compensation that is
received by
 Covered Executives on or after October 2, 2023, even if such Incentive Compensation was approved, awarded, or granted to Covered
Executives
prior to October 2, 2023. For the purposes of this Policy, Incentive Compensation will be deemed to be received in the fiscal period during
which the financial reporting measure specified in the applicable Incentive Compensation award is attained, even if the payment or grant
occurs after the
end of that period.
Amendment; Termination
The Committee may amend this Policy from time
to time in its discretion and shall amend this Policy as it deems necessary to reflect final regulations
adopted by the SEC under Section
10D of the Exchange Act and to comply with the Clawback Listing Standards and any other rules or standards adopted
by a national securities
exchange on which the Company’s securities are listed. The Committee may terminate this Policy at any time.
Other Recoupment Rights
Any right of recoupment under this Policy is
in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other remedies or rights of recoupment that may be available to the
Company pursuant to the terms
of any similar policy in any employment agreement, equity award agreement, or similar agreement and any other legal
remedies available
to the Company.
Relationship to Other Plans and Agreements
The Committee intends that this Policy will
be applied to the fullest extent of the law. The Committee may require that any employment agreement, equity
award agreement, or similar
agreement entered into on or after the Effective Date shall, as a condition to the grant of any benefit thereunder, require a
Covered
Executive to agree to abide by the terms of this Policy; provided, however, that this Policy shall apply to any applicable Incentive Compensation
regardless of whether the Covered Executive agrees to abide by the terms of this Policy . In the event of any inconsistency between the
terms of the Policy
and the terms of any employment agreement, equity award agreement, or similar agreement under which Incentive Compensation
 has been granted,
awarded, earned or paid to a Covered Executive, whether or not deferred, the terms of the Policy shall govern.
Acknowledgment
At the request of the Committee, the Covered
Executive shall sign an acknowledgment form in which they acknowledge that they have read and understand
the terms of the Policy and are
bound by the Policy.
 

 
Impracticability
The Committee shall recover any excess Incentive
 Compensation in accordance with this Policy unless such recovery would be impracticable, as
determined by the Committee in accordance
with Rule 10D-1 of the Exchange Act and the Clawback Listing Standards.
Successors
This Policy shall be binding and enforceable
 against all Covered Executives and their beneficiaries, heirs, executors, administrators or other legal
representatives.
