EXPLANATORY
NOTE
This Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended June 30, 2023, (this “Form 10-K”), of Pro-Dex, Inc. (“Company,” “Pro-Dex,” “we,”
“our,” “us”) includes amended and restated consolidated financial statements and related financial information
as of and for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. This Form 10-K also includes restated quarterly information for the quarters ended
March 31, 2023, December 31, 2022, September 30, 2022, March 31, 2022, December 31, 2021, September 30, 2021, March 31, 2021, December
31, 2020, and September 30, 2020. This information is disclosed in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Background of the Restatement
As described in the Company’s
Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on September 28, 2023, in connection
with preparing the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, the Company determined
its calculation of the estimated fair value of a warrant (the “Monogram Warrant”), which the Company was granted on
December 20, 2018, representing the Company’s right to purchase up to 5% of the outstanding stock of Monogram Orthopaedics Inc.
calculated on a fully diluted basis, was materially understated for fiscal years
ended June 30, 2020, 2021 and 2022 and all interim periods commencing with the quarter ended September 30, 2020 through the quarter ended
March 31, 2023.
On September
27, 2023, management and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Audit Committee”), after consultation
with Moss Adams, LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, determined that the Company’s previously
issued financial statements referenced above should be restated to reflect the impact of the error, and accordingly, should no longer
be relied upon.
As
a result of the information described above, management has concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were
not effective at a reasonable assurance level and the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of
the end of each of the periods covered by the restatement. The Company has identified a material weakness in internal control over financial
reporting related to its application of ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging related to the Monogram Warrant. Please see Item 9A (Controls
and Procedures) in this Form 10-K for a description of these matters, and of certain remediation measures that we plan to take to strengthen
our internal control over financial reporting.
Reliance on
Prior Consolidated Financial Statements
We have not
amended our previously filed Annual Reports on Form 10-K or Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods effected by the restatement.
The information that has been previously filed or otherwise reported for these periods is superseded by the information in this Form 10-K.
As such, we do not anticipate amending our previously filed Annual Reports on Form 10-K or our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for any
prior periods. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements and related financial information contained in such previously filed
reports should no longer be relied upon.

PART I
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 statements, including,
without limitation: loss of a significant customer, entry of new and stronger competitors, capital availability, unexpected costs, compliance
with contractual obligations, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, failure to capitalize upon access to new customers, marketplace delisting,
the ramifications of industry consolidation of medical products manufacturers, dealers and distributors, managed health care, failure
to mitigate supply chain issues, market acceptance and 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 2023, our top
three customers accounted for 92% of our sales compared to 88% in fiscal 2022. In fiscal 2023, we had one customer, included in both medical
device and repairs revenue above, that accounted for 67% of sales with our next largest customer accounting for 16% of sales. This compares
to fiscal 2022, when these same two customers accounted for 66% and 14%, 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.
3
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. Additionally, we have other significant engineering
projects under way described more fully below under “Results of Operations.”
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, during fiscal 2022 and continuing
into fiscal 2023, 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, 2023,
we had a backlog of $41.6 million compared with a backlog of $16.5 million at June 30, 2022. 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.
Of our backlog at June 30, 2023, $31.4 million, as well as certain purchase orders received subsequent to June 30, 2023, are expected
to be delivered during fiscal 2024 and the balance of $10.2 million is expected to be delivered in 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 typically experience seasonal fluctuations in our
shipments and revenues.
Segments
We have only one operating
segment as our business is currently operated.
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.
4
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 services often provided for under development
portions of certain contracts. Revenue recognized for non-recurring engineering services represented 6% of our revenue in fiscal 2023
and 2% of our revenue in fiscal 2022.
During the fiscal years
ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we incurred research and development expenses amounting to $2.8 million and $3.0 million, respectively,
which costs exclude labor and related expenses of approximately $724,000 and $739,000 in fiscal 2023 and 2022, respectively, that were
reimbursed by our customers through billings for non-recurring engineering 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, 2023 and 2022 was 16% and 14%, respectively. We consider the turnover rate a valuable metric to measure
the effectiveness of our programs and to assist in developing new programs.
Employees
At June 30, 2023, we had
146 employees, one of whom was part time, working at our two office locations in California and one employee working remotely out of state.
At June 30, 2022, we had 135 employees, one of whom was part-time, working at either our corporate office in Irvine, California or our
Franklin office in Tustin, California and one employee working 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.
5
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.
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 2023, our top three
customers accounted for 92% of our sales, with our current largest customer accounting for 67% of our sales. This customer has made purchase
commitments to us through a supply agreement to purchase surgical handpieces through calendar 2025. We provide this customer with a device
used primarily in elective surgeries and although this customer has not requested a reduction or delay to their planned shipments, if
the COVID-19 pandemic were to again materially adversely impact the United States and other markets where our products are sold, coupled
with any new recommended deferrals of elective procedures by governments and other authorities, we would expect to see a decline in demand
from our principal customer. The loss of this customer or any of our significant customers would severely impact us, including having
a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows, revenue, and results of operations.
A substantial portion of our business is
derived from our core business area that, if not serviced properly, may result in a material adverse impact upon our business, financial
condition, and results of operations.
In fiscal 2023, we derived
97% 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.
7
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.
8
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.
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.
9
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 further
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, 2023, the fair value
of our investments was approximately $8.7 million. Of that amount $6.2 million relates to an investment in Monogram Orthopaedics Inc.
(“Monogram”) described more fully in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this report. The
investment in Monogram is also the subject of the restatement of our previous financial statements described in Note 2 to the consolidated
financial statements contained elsewhere in this report. Our initial investment in Monogram was an $800,000 loan which we made primarily
in exchange for exclusive development and supply rights. At that time, we believed that this long-term strategic investment would likely
take several years to cultivate, which it has. 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, which could cause us to record a significant unrealized loss in the future.
We may not be able to successfully integrate our business acquisitions,
which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
We have acquired, and may
acquire in the future, businesses, products, and technologies that complement or expand our current operations. Acquisitions could require
significant capital investments and require us to integrate with companies that have different cultures, management teams, and business
infrastructure. Depending on the size and complexity of an acquisition, our successful integration of the acquisition could depend on
several factors, including:
•
Difficulties in assimilating and integrating the operations, products, and workforce of an acquired business;
•
The retention of key employees;
•
Management of facilities and employees in separate geographic areas;
•
The integration or coordination of different research and development and product manufacturing facilities;
•
Successfully converting information and accounting systems; and
•
Diversion of resources and management attention from our other operations.
If market conditions or
other factors require us to change our strategic direction, we may fail to realize the expected value from one or more of our acquisitions.
Our failure to successfully integrate any future acquisitions or realize the expected value from past or future acquisitions could harm
our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
10
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.
We may also attempt to raise additional funds through public or private debt or equity financings, if such financings become available
on acceptable terms. We cannot be certain that any additional financing we may need will be available on terms acceptable to us, or at
all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to take advantage of opportunities,
develop new products, or otherwise respond to competitive pressures, and our operating results and financial condition could be adversely
affected.
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.
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 12, 2023, two
of our directors, Nicholas J. Swenson and Raymond E. Cabillot, directly or indirectly, controlled voting power over approximately 39%
(29% and 10%, 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.
11
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.
12
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 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.
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. The material weakness discovered in conjunction with the preparation of our consolidated
financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, as described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements contained
elsewhere in this report, for example, has been time consuming and costly. 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.
Risks Related to COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic, or the perception
of its effects, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
To date, COVID-19 has not had
a material adverse impact on our business or results of operations, but due to the uncertainties surrounding this pandemic, it may adversely
impact us in the future. We have and may continue to experience disruptions in our supply chain and critical suppliers may delay or be
unable to deliver products we have ordered. Additionally, our customers could reduce planned orders, request cancelations of existing
orders, and/or delay payment to us due to financial hardship they may experience as a result of this healthcare and resulting economic
crisis. Therefore, it is impossible to predict the future impact of the pandemic on our business, financial condition, and results of
operations.
13
The ability of our employees to work may
be significantly impacted by the COVID-19 crisis.
Substantially all of our
employees worked in the office during fiscal 2023. The health of our workforce is of primary concern and we may need to enact further
precautionary measures to help minimize the risk of our employees being exposed to the coronavirus. Further, our management team is focused
on mitigating the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has required and may continue to require a large investment of time
and resources across the entire Company, thereby diverting their attention from other priorities that existed prior to the outbreak of
the pandemic. To date, several of our employees have had COVID-19, but all have made full recoveries and returned to work. If more of
our employees test positive for COVID-19, or these conditions worsen, or last for an extended period of time, our ability to manage our
business may be impaired, and operational risks, cybersecurity risks, and other risks facing us even prior to the pandemic may be elevated.
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.

ITEM 2. 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 $42,000 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 through a loan (See Note 5 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.

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, 2023 and 2022.
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.
COVID-19 Pandemic
We have adjusted certain policies
and procedures based on applicable national, state, and local emergency orders and safety guidance that may be issued from time to time,
in order to effectively manage our business during the pandemic and to keep our employees safe. These measures have changed over time
and continue to change as our specific circumstances change.
While we have yet to see any decline
in our customer orders, we have received and accepted some customer requests to delay the shipment of their existing orders. We are focused
on the health and safety of all those we serve – our customers, our communities, our employees, and our suppliers. We are supporting
our customers according to their priorities and working with them to the degree that we can offer relief in the form of delayed shipments.
We are focused on continuity of supply by working with our suppliers, some of whom have delivered our orders late and are quoting longer
lead times.
During fiscal 2022, we began to
see some challenges in our supply chain in the form of delayed shipments, longer lead times, higher prices, and surcharges, much of which
our suppliers indicate have been caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. We have largely been able to mitigate our biggest supply chain concerns
by sourcing replacement chips through alternative suppliers, albeit at much higher prices, for many of our printed circuit board assemblies.
In so doing, our cost of sales increased during the second half of fiscal 2022 and in fiscal 2023. We continue to implement plans and
processes to mitigate these challenges that many manufacturers similarly face. Our long-term prospects remain positive, and we believe
these challenges will negatively impact us only in the short-term.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our 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.
16
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 2023, the revenue
from non-recurring engineering (“NRE”) and prototype services represents approximately 6% 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 2023 and 2022 related to these
services totaled $108,000 and $0, respectively.
Owing
to the complexity of many of the contracts we have undertaken, the cost estimation process requires significant judgment. It is based
upon the knowledge and experience of our project managers, engineers, and finance professionals. Factors that are considered in estimating
the cost of work to be completed and ultimate profitability of the fixed price product development portion of development and supply contracts
include the nature and complexity of the work to be performed, availability and productivity of labor, the effect of change orders, the
availability of materials, performance of subcontractors, and expected costs for specific regulatory approvals.
Warranties
Most of our products are
sold with a warranty that provides for repairs or replacement of any defective parts for a period, generally one to two years, after the
sale. At the time of the sale, we accrue an estimate of the cost of providing the warranty based on prior experience with such factors
as return rates and repair costs, which factors are reviewed quarterly.
Warranty expenses, including
changes of estimates, are included in cost of sales in our statements of operations.
Inventories
Inventories are stated
at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value. Reductions to estimated net realizable value are recorded,
and charged to cost of sales, when indicated based on a formula that compares on-hand quantities to both historical usage and estimated
demand over the ensuing 12 months from the measurement date.
Accounts Receivable
Trade receivables are stated
at their original invoice amounts, less an allowance for doubtful portions of such accounts. Management determines the allowance for doubtful
accounts based on facts and circumstances related to specific accounts, and on historical experience related to the age of accounts. Trade
receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of trade receivables previously reserved are offset against the allowance
when received.
Deferred Costs
Deferred costs reflect
costs incurred related to non-recurring engineering services under the terms of the related development and supply contracts. These costs
get recorded to cost of sales in the period that the revenue is recognized.
Investments
Investments consist
of marketable equity securities of publicly held companies and a warrant (the “Monogram Warrant”) to purchase common stock
of a publicly held company. 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. Thinly traded investments were subject to a valuation analysis as of June 30, 2023 and 2022. The
Monogram Warrant is the subject of the restatement of our previous financial statements described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial
statements contained elsewhere in this report. As previously disclosed, from the time we were issued the Monogram warrant through the
fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, we considered the Monogram warrant to be of little value and did not record it as an investment in our
consolidated balance sheet.
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
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, 2023 and 2022 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 2023 increased by $4.0 million, or 10%, as compared to fiscal 2022, due primarily to an increase in repair revenue of
$6.0 million and an increase in NRE and prototype services of $1.7 million offset by a decrease in medical device revenue of $3.3 million.

Sales
of our medical device products decreased $3.3 million, or 10%, during fiscal 2023 as compared to fiscal 2022. During fiscal 2023, thoracic
sales increased by $705,000 to $2.6 million, up from $1.9 million in fiscal 2022, due to additional orders from our single distributor
of this driver. In late fiscal 2023, we executed a supply agreement with another distributor for a thoracic driver and we expect an increase
in revenue of thoracic products in fiscal 2024. Recurring revenue from distributors of CMF drivers decreased $1.8 million in fiscal 2023
compared to fiscal 2022. We do not have much visibility into our customers’ distribution networks, but we surmise the decline relates
to a buildup of customer inventory. Our orthopedic sales decreased $2.2 million in fiscal 2023 compared to fiscal 2022, in part, due
to our largest customer shifting priorities to an enhanced repair program (described under the discussion of repair revenue below).
Sales
of our industrial and scientific products, which consist primarily of our compact pneumatic air
motors, decreased $54,000, or 6%, for fiscal 2023 compared to fiscal 2022. The revenue decrease is expected as these are legacy products
with no substantive marketing or sales efforts.
Sales
of our NRE & prototype services increased $1.7 million or 166% compared to fiscal 2022 and relates to billable engagement for multiple
engineering projects.
Sales
of our dental products and components in fiscal 2023 decreased $208,000, or 45%, as compared to fiscal 2022. The decrease is as expected
because in fiscal 2022 we sold components of excess inventory directly to our largest customer due to the release of their next generation
device. 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 2023 repair revenue increased approximately $6.0 million, or 91%, to $12.6 million, as compared to fiscal 2022, 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 2024, but there are no assurances that our customer will return the same volume of
handpieces.
At June 30, 2023, we
had a backlog of $41.6 million compared with a backlog of $16.5 million at June 30, 2022. 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.
Of our backlog at June 30, 2023, $31.4 million, as well as certain purchase orders received subsequent to June 30, 2023, are expected
to be delivered during fiscal 2024 and the balance of $10.2 million is expected to be delivered in 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 typically experience seasonal fluctuations in our
shipments and revenues.

Cost of sales in fiscal 2023 increased
$4.4 million, or 15%, from fiscal 2022, primarily due to the increase in product costs, consistent with the 10% increase in net sales,
coupled with higher material and labor costs. During fiscal 2023, we experienced $1.7 million of under-absorption of manufacturing costs
compared to $877,000 in fiscal 2022, due primarily to actual production hours being less than planned .
Costs related to inventory and warranty charges decreased $672,000 in fiscal 2023 compared to fiscal 2022, primarily due to sourcing of
components for our printed circuit board assemblies at prices higher than usual in fiscal 2022 coupled with reduced warranty repairs related
to the handpiece we sell to our largest customer in fiscal 2023 .

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 increased
$64,000, or 70%, compared to fiscal 2022, primarily due to increased sales commissions.
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 $875,000 decrease in G&A expenses from fiscal 2022 to 2023 is due primarily to reduced
legal and settlement expenses related to employment matters and reduced non-cash compensation expense related to stock compensation.
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. Research and development costs decreased $176,000
from fiscal 2022 to 2023 due to increased personnel and related costs of $333,000 as well as increased legal fees related to IP matters
of $89,000 offset by decreased spending on internal product development projects of $604,000. In fiscal 2023, our engineering department
has continued to be engaged in billable customer projects and therefore those costs are shifted to cost of sales instead of research and
development.
20
Although the majority of our research
and development costs relate to sustaining activities related to products we currently manufacture and sell, we have created a product
roadmap to develop future products. Many of our product development efforts are undertaken only upon completion of an analysis of the
size of the market, our ability to differentiate our product from our competitors’, as well as an analysis of our specific sales
prospects with new and/or existing customers. Research and development costs represent between 37% and 40% of total operating expenses
during fiscal 2022 and 2023 and are expected to increase in the future as we continue to invest in product development. The amount spent
on projects under development is summarized below (in thousands):

(3) We have suspended the vital ventilator project at this time.
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. Additionally, these costs include
development projects that may be in their infancy and may or may not result in a full-fledged product development effort.
Other Income (Expense)
Interest and Dividend Income
Our interest and dividend income
earned in fiscal 2023 and 2022 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, which is the subject of our restatement described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial
statements contained elsewhere in this report. Additional information related to the nature of our investments is more fully described
in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this report.
21
Gain on Sale of Investments
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. During fiscal
2022, we liquidated some of the investments in our portfolio of equity investments receiving proceeds of $770,000 and recording a gain
of $28,000.
Interest Expense
Interest expense incurred in fiscal
2023 and 2022 consists primarily of interest expense related to our debt with Minnesota Bank & Trust (“MBT”) described
more fully in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this report.
Income Taxes
The effective tax rate
for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was 26% and 20%, as restated, 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 during fiscal 2023 totaled $5.5 million. Our net income was $7.1 million and included $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.
Cash used in operating
activities totaled $847,000 during fiscal 2022. Our net income was $4.6 million and included $931,000 of unrealized gains on certain equity
investments, as well as non-cash stock compensation expense and depreciation and amortization expense in the amount of $1.3 million and
$726,000, respectively. Additionally, our accounts payable and accrued expenses increased by $2.0 million. Offsetting these inflows of
cash, our accounts receivable and inventory balances grew by $4.4 million and $4.2 million, respectively.
22
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
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.
Net cash used in investing
activities in fiscal 2022 was $1.2 million and related primarily to $1.6 million in purchases of equipment and improvements as well as
the purchase of $334,000 of marketable equity securities, offset by $770,000 in proceeds from sales of marketable equity securities.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
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 more fully
described in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this report, 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.
Net cash used in financing
activities for fiscal 2022 totaled $790,000 and related primarily to the $1.6 million repurchase of 75,250 shares of our common stock
pursuant to our share repurchase program, as well as $1.2 million of principal payments primarily related to our various loans from MBT
offset by the $2.0 million in new borrowings from MBT more fully described in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements contained
elsewhere in this report.
Liquidity Requirements for the Next 12 Months
As of June 30, 2023, our
working capital was $21.3 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 further against our $7.0 million Amended Revolving Loan with MBT (see Note 8 to condensed consolidated financial statements
contained elsewhere in this report), under which we had availability of $4.5 million as of June 30, 2023.
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 $8.8 million of investments consisting of a warrant to purchase
common stock of a publicly held company and marketable public equity securities held at June 30, 2023, which amount includes unrealized
holding gains in the amount of $6.1 million at June 30, 2023.
23
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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(“10b5-1 Plan” or “Plan”).
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. During the fiscal
year ended June 30, 2022, we repurchased 75,250 shares at an aggregate cost, inclusive of fees under the Plan, of $1.6 million. On a cumulative
basis, we have repurchased a total of 1,197,168 shares under the share repurchase programs at an aggregate cost, inclusive of fees under
the Plan, of $17.2 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, 2023 and 2022, the related consolidated income statements, 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, 2023 and 2022, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended June 30, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements
As described in Note 2, the Company has restated its consolidated
financial statements as of June 30, 2022, and for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, for the correction of errors.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based
on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and
are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements
are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform,
an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal
control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal
control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material
misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures to respond to those risks.
Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.
Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from
the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee
and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements, and (2) involved our especially
challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the
consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate
opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Warrant Valuation
As described in Notes 2 and Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements,
the Company holds a warrant to purchase common stock of a publicly traded company, which has an estimated fair value of $6,160,000 at
June 30, 2023 and resulted in an unrealized gain of $3,856,000 during the year ended June 30, 2023. The warrant was determined to
be a derivative financial instrument that is subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date with changes in fair value recognized
in earnings.
We identified the valuation of the warrant
as a critical audit matter. See also the “Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements” section of our report. The
estimated fair value of the warrant was determined using a Black Scholes Option Pricing (“BSOP”) model. The principal considerations
for our determination that auditing the estimated fair value of the warrant is a critical audit matter are (i) the judgment required
by management in the determination of the significant assumptions used, including the underlying stock price, strike price of the warrant,
volatility, risk-free rate, discount for lack of marketability and time-to-maturity (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity,
and effort in performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence related to the significant assumptions used in the BSOP model; and
(iii) the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.
The primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit
matter included:
reading the agreements and evaluating management’s
process for determining the estimated fair value of the warrant.
testing management’s process included (i)
evaluating the method used by management to determine the estimated fair value of the warrant; (ii) testing the mathematical accuracy
of management’s model; (iii) evaluating the reasonableness of the significant assumptions used in the model and (iv) testing the
completeness and accuracy of the data used.
professionals with specialized skill and knowledge
were used to assist in evaluating the appropriateness of the BSOP model used by management to determine the estimated fair value of the
warrant, and evaluating whether the significant assumptions used in the BSOP model were reasonable.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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. RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Company has restated its
consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 and as of and for the first three quarters of
fiscal 2021, 2022 and 2023. The restatement corrects the error related to the fair value of the Monogram Warrant which had been
understated (See Note 5). The restatement records the investment at its estimated fair value for all restated periods, records the
unrealized gain on investments for each restated period, and records the deferred income tax expense associated with the
corresponding unrealized gain on investments. The restatement does not impact previously reported revenues, operating income, cash
or cash flows for any previous periods.
Presented below are the changes
to each financial statement line item which changed as a result of the restatement.

3. 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 costs 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 services related to the design or customization of a medical device, is typically recognized
over time. The customer funding for costs incurred for non-recurring engineering 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 our 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.
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 2023
and 2022 related to these services totaled $ 108,000 and $ 0 , respectively.
Owing
to the complexity of many of the contracts we have undertaken, the cost estimation process requires significant judgment. It is based
upon the knowledge and experience of our project managers, engineers, and finance professionals. Factors that are considered in estimating
the cost of work to be completed and ultimate profitability of the fixed price product development portion of development and supply contracts
include the nature and complexity of the work to be performed, availability and productivity of labor, the effect of change orders, the
availability of materials, performance of subcontractors, and expected costs for specific regulatory approvals.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 balance sheets. Warranty expenses are included in cost of sales in the accompanying 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, 2023 and 2022, cash equivalents consisted
of investments in money market funds.
Accounts Receivable
Trade receivables are stated
at their original invoice amounts, less an allowance for doubtful portions of such accounts. Management determines the allowance for doubtful
accounts based on facts and circumstances related to specific accounts and the age of accounts. Trade receivables are written off when
deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of trade receivables previously reserved are offset against the allowance when received.
Deferred Costs
Deferred costs reflect
costs incurred related to non-recurring engineering services under the terms of the related development and/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 over the ensuing 12 months from 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, 2023 and 2022, there was
approximately $ 637,000 and $ 177,000 , respectively, of inventory in-transit from suppliers.
Investments
Investments at June
30, 2023 and 2022, consist of marketable equity securities of publicly held companies as well as a warrant to purchase common stock of
a company whose common stock first became publicly traded in May 2023. 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. Certain investments consist
of common stocks of public companies that are thinly traded. These investments were subject to a valuation analysis as of June 30, 2023
and 2022.
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:
Schedule of building, equipment and improvements
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
43
PRO-DEX, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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, 2023 and 2022
consisted primarily of basis differences related to unrealized gain/loss related to investments, stock-based compensation, fixed assets,
accrued expenses, and inventories. Our fiscal 2023 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 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.
Shipping and Handling
Payments from customers
for shipping and handling are included in net sales . Shipping expenses, consisting primarily of payments made to freight companies,
are included in cost of sales.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that
potentially subject us to credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents, and trade receivables. We place our cash and cash
equivalents with major financial institutions. At June 30, 2023 and 2022, 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.
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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial
statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Our operations are affected
by numerous factors including market acceptance of our products, supply chain disruptions, changes in technologies, and new laws, effects
from the COVID-19 pandemic, government regulations, and policies. We cannot predict what impact, if any, the occurrence of these or other
events might have on our operations. Significant estimates and assumptions made by management include, but are not limited to, revenue
recognition, share-based compensation, the allowance for doubtful accounts, accrued warranty expense, 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 13, 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 a warrant to purchase outstanding stock of a publicly traded
company. Due to the thinly traded nature of these stocks and the lack of an active market for the warrant, all of our investments are
classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. The estimated fair value of the warrant is measured using pricing models with no
observable inputs and is therefore considered a Level 3 measurement within the valuation hierarchy. The fair value of all of our investments
at June 30, 2023 and 2022 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.

Recently Issued and Not Yet Adopted Accounting Standards
In
June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13,
Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326). ASU 2016-13 revises the impairment model to utilize an expected loss methodology
in place of the currently used incurred loss methodology, which will result in more timely recognition of losses on financial instruments,
including, but not limited to, available for sale debt securities and accounts receivable. The guidance is effective for the Company’s
annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2022 and interim reporting periods within that annual reporting period. The Company
does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

The timing of revenue recognition,
billings, and cash collections results in billed accounts receivables, unbilled receivables (presented as deferred 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 non-recurring engineering (“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, 2023 and 2022, we recorded $ 1 .0
million and $ 98,000 , 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.

equity securities at June 30, 2023 and 2022 had an aggregate cost basis of $ 2,714,000 and
$ 2,796,000 , 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, 2023, the investments included net unrealized losses of $ 219,000 (gross unrealized
losses of $ 286,000 offset by gross unrealized gains of $ 67,000 ). At June 30, 2022, the investments included net unrealized losses of $ 262,000
(gross unrealized losses of $ 369,000 offset by gross unrealized gains of $ 107,000 ).
Of the total
marketable equity securities at June 30, 2023 and 2022, $ 1,134,000 and $ 755,000 , 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.
The
warrant represents our right to purchase up to 5% of the outstanding stock of Monogram Orthopaedics Inc. (“Monogram”)
which we were granted on December 18, 2018. By way of background, we invested in Monogram, a medical device start-up specializing in
precision, patient specific implants in fiscal 2017, by making an $ 800,000
loan to Monogram pursuant to a promissory note in the same amount. At that time, our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Van Kirk, was
appointed to Monogram’s board of directors, a position he has held through the date of this filing. We impaired our entire $ 800,000
investment in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018 due to indications that Monogram had exhausted its cash and had been unable to
obtain additional financing to enable continued research to commercialize their technology. In fiscal 2019, we modified the
promissory note to allow Monogram more time to re-pay the note and, concurrently, we were issued the warrant, with an exercise price
of $ 1,250,000 ,
which at the time we deemed of de minimis value. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, Monogram repaid the promissory note with
interest, but at that time and through the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2023, we considered the warrant to be of little value
and therefore did not record it as an investment on our consolidated balance sheet. In May of 2023, Monogram raised funds through a
Regulation A+ offering filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and contemporaneously converted all of its outstanding
preferred stock to common shares and publicly listed its common shares on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol MGRM. The valuation of
the warrant for all prior periods is the subject of the restatement of our previous financial statements because the value of $0 we
had ascribed to the Monogram Warrant in previous periods want not based on its estimated fair value (See Note 2).

As of June 30, 2023, 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, 2023.
As of June 30, 2023,
we have accrued $ 345,000 of unrecognized tax benefits related to federal and state income tax matters that would reduce our income tax
expense if recognized. If we are eventually able to recognize our uncertain tax positions, our effective tax rate would be reduced. Any
adjustment to our uncertain tax positions would result in an adjustment of our tax credit carryforwards rather than resulting in a cash
outlay.

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, 2020, and later. However, because of our prior net operating losses

8. 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, 2023 is $ 4,746,000 .
52
PRO-DEX, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 (the “Revolving Loan” and, together with the Term Loan A and
the Term Loan B, collectively, the “Loans”), 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 Loans
are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets pursuant to a Security Agreement entered into on September 6, 2018 between
the Company and 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, 2023, is $ 4,832,000 .
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 $ 719,000 on June 30, 2023.
On December 29, 2022 (the “Amendment
Date”), we entered into Amendment No. 2 to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “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, 2023, no amounts have been drawn against the Supplemental Loan.
The Revolving Loan was also amended
(the “Amended Revolving Loan”) in connection with the 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, 2023, we had drawn $ 2,500,000 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).

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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,

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Leases
We lease our office, production,
and warehouse facility in Irvine, California (our “corporate office”) under an agreement that expires in September 2027. Our
corporate office lease requires us to pay insurance, taxes, and other expenses related to the leased space.
Rent expense in fiscal 2023
and 2022 was $ 563,000 and $ 559,000 , respectively.
Compensation Arrangements
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, 2023 and 2022, we recognized compensation expense amounting to $ 164,000 and $ 72,000 , respectively,
in connection with the 401(k) Plan. During our fiscal years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we used approximately $ 13,000 and $ 25,000 , respectively,
of forfeited match contributions to reduce our match expense.
Legal Matters
We may be involved in legal proceedings
arising either in the ordinary course of our business or incidental to our business. There can be no certainty, however, that we may not
ultimately incur liability or that such liability will not be material or adverse.
11. 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.
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.
Former Stock Option Plans
No options were granted
under the Former Stock Option Plans during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. As of June
30, 2023, there was no unrecognized compensation cost under the Former Stock Option Plans and all remaining outstanding stock options
were exercised during fiscal 2023 .

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. We recorded share-based
compensation expense of $ 106,000 and $ 194,000 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, related to these performance
awards. On June 30, 2023, there was approximately $ 98,000 of unrecognized compensation cost related to these non-vested performance awards
expected to be expensed over the weighted-average period of 2.0 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 $ 647,000 and $ 1,070,000 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, 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. As of June 30,
2023, there was approximately $ 2.4 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.
During the fiscal years
ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, shares totaling 5,459 and 2,576 , respectively, were purchased pursuant to the ESPP and allocated to participating
employees based upon their contributions at weighted- average prices of $ 14.21 and $ 23.33 , respectively. On a cumulative basis, since
the inception of the ESPP, employees have purchased a total of 32,498 shares. During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we
recorded stock compensation expense in the amount of $ 14,000 and $ 11,000 , respectively, relating to the ESPP.

14. 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, 2023, we repurchased 86,422 shares at an aggregate cost, inclusive of fees under the Plan, of $ 1.5
million. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, we repurchased 75,250 shares at an aggregate cost, inclusive of fees under the Plan,
of $ 1.6 million. On a cumulative basis, we have repurchased a total of 1,197,168 shares under the share repurchase programs at an aggregate
cost, inclusive of fess under the Plan, of $ 17.2 million. All repurchases under the 10b5-1 Plans were administered through an independent
broker.

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, 2023, 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 weakness described below, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective
as of June 30, 2023.
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 Weakness
A
material weakness is a deficiency, or 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 detected
or prevented on a timely basis.
In connection with preparing
our financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2023, and evaluating the fair value of one of our investments, we re-evaluated the
guidance in ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging and determined upon reassessment that the historical de minimis values we assigned
to the Monogram Warrant were incorrect. We have determined that there is a deficiency in the design of the Company’s internal control
relating to the valuation and disclosure of level 3 financial instruments, including the valuation of warrant derivative instruments.
As a result, we have concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of the end of each
of the periods covered by the restatement. In connection with the restatement, the Company has identified a material weakness in internal
control over financial reporting related to its investment in the Monogram Warrant.
60
Remediation Measures
Management is committed
to implementing changes to our internal control over financial reporting to ensure our material weakness is remediated. To remediate this
material weakness, we are in the process of improving the design of our control related to to the valuation and disclosure of level 3
financial instruments. Management believes the control will prevent the conditions that led to the material weakness described above.
While the foregoing measures
are intended to effectively remediate the material weakness described in Item 9A, and these procedures will be applied to any future warrant,
derivative or other level 3 instrument we receive, it is possible that additional remediation steps will be necessary. As such, as we
continue to evaluate and implement our plan to remediate the material weakness, our management may decide to take additional measures
to address the material weakness. The material weakness cannot be considered remediated until the applicable controls operate for a period
of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. We plan to continue to perform additional
analyses and other procedures to help ensure that our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Changes in
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Except
as discussed above, during the quarter ended June 30, 2023, 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.
