NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Pro-Dex, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our,”
“Pro-Dex,” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States (“U.S.
GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation
S-K. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by
U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 2023. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected for the full year. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2023.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2022, the FASB issued
Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No 2022-02 (Topic 326) Financial Instruments – Credit Losses to create a
new model for credit losses that reflects current expected credit losses (“CECL”) over the lifetime of the underlying accounts
receivable. The CECL methodology is applicable to our trade accounts receivable and our deferred costs. We adopted ASU 2022-02 effective
July 1, 2023, and the adoption did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued
ASU No 2023-09 (Topic 740) Income Taxes – Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures to enhance disclosures for the income tax
rate reconciliation as well as cash income taxes paid by jurisdiction. This amendment is effective for our fiscal year ending June 30,
2025. While we are still evaluating the specifics of the adoption, we anticipate this guidance will have a significant impact on our annual
income tax disclosures.
Correction of Previously Reported Interim Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements
As described in more detail
in Note 2 to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
June 30, 2023, the Company previously restated certain of its financial statements, including its financial statements for the three and
six months ended December 31, 2022, to correct the estimated fair value of the Company’s warrant to purchase up to five percent
(5%) of the outstanding capital stock of Monogram Orthopaedics Inc. (NasdaqCM: MGRM), calculated on a fully diluted basis (the “Monogram
Warrant”). The restatement recorded, for all restated periods, the Monogram Warrant at its estimated fair value, an unrealized gain
on investments, and the deferred income tax expense associated with the corresponding unrealized gain on investments.

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 condensed 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.

The timing of revenue recognition,
billings, and cash collections results in billed accounts receivables, unbilled receivables (presented as deferred costs on our condensed
consolidated balance sheets) and customer advances and deposits (presented as deferred revenue on our condensed 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 three and six months ended December 31, 2023,
we did no t record any revenue that had been included in deferred revenue in the prior year. During the three and six months ended December
31, 2022, we recorded $ 312,000 and $ 862,000 , 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.
As of December 31, 2023, we do no t have any deferred revenue.

Of
the total marketable equity securities at December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023, $ 763,000 and $ 1,134,000 , respectively, represent an investment
in the common stock of Air T, Inc. Two of our Board members are also board members of Air T, Inc. and both either individually or through
affiliates own an equity interest in Air T, Inc. Our Chairman, one of the two Board members aforementioned, also serves as the Chief
Executive Officer and Chairman of Air T, Inc. Another of our Board members is employed by Air T, Inc. as its Chief of Staff. The shares
were purchased through 10b5-1 Plans, that, in accordance with our internal policies regarding the approval of related-party transactions,
were approved by our then three Board members that are not affiliated with Air T, Inc.
On October
6, 2023, in conjunction with the execution of a supply agreement with Monogram, we exercised the Monogram Warrant in full in cash totaling
$ 1,250,000 and received 1,828,551 shares of Monogram common stock (NasdaqCM: MGRM). On the date of exercise our unrealized loss on the
investment was approximately $ 38,000 . The fair value of the Monogram common stock is reflected in marketable equity securities –
short term in the table above as of December 31, 2023. Our Chief Executive Officer, Richard (“Rick”) Van Kirk,
is also a Monogram board member.
We invest surplus
cash from time to time through our Investment Committee, which is comprised of one management director, Rick Van
Kirk, and two non-management directors, Raymond (“Ray”) Cabillot and Nicholas (“Nick”) Swenson, who chairs the
committee. Both Nick and Ray 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 Nick or Ray 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, such as Air T, Inc.

NOTE 5. WARRANTY
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 condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023, the warranty
reserve amounted to $ 194,000 and $ 200,000 , respectively. Warranty expenses are included in cost of sales in the accompanying condensed
consolidated statements of income. 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. Warranty expense
relating to new product sales and changes to estimates for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 was $ 37,000 and $ 56,000 ,
respectively, and for the six months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 was $ 60,000 and $ 123,000 , respectively.

NOTE 6. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
We calculate basic net
income (loss) per share by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period.
The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding reflects the effects of potentially dilutive securities, in income generating
periods, which consist entirely of outstanding stock options and performance awards.
The following table presents
reconciliations of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share computations for net income (loss).
Because we incurred a net loss for the six months ended December 31, 2023, basic and diluted loss were the same as the inclusion of 64,800
common shares potentially issuable under the terms of outstanding performance awards would have had an anti-dilutive effect. In the tables
below, net income amounts represent the numerator, and weighted average shares outstanding amounts represent the denominator (in thousands,
except per share amounts):

NOTE 7. INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred
tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management,
it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. 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 primarily on our historical taxable income, with some consideration given to our estimates of future taxable income by jurisdictions
in which we operate and the period over which our deferred tax assets would be recoverable.
We recognize accrued interest and penalties
related to unrecognized tax benefits when applicable. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, we recognized
accrued interest of $ 61,000 and $ 54,000 , respectively, related to unrecognized tax benefits.
We
are subject to U.S. federal income tax, as well as income tax of multiple state tax jurisdictions. We are currently open to audit under
the statute of limitations by the Internal Revenue Service for the years ended June 30, 2020 and later. Our state income tax returns
are open to audit under the statute of limitations for the years ended June 30, 2020 and later. However, because of our prior net operating
losses and research credit carryovers, our tax years from June 30, 2007 are open to audit. We do not anticipate a significant change
to the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.
NOTE 8. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
Our 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. As of December
31, 2023, 200,000 performance awards and 372,000 non-qualified stock options have been granted under the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan.
Performance Awards
In October 2023, the Compensation
Committee reallocated an additional 15,200 previously forfeited awards, having the same remaining terms and conditions, to other employees.
The weighted average fair value of the performance awards reallocated in 2023 was $ 10.17 , calculated using the weighted average fair market
value for each award, using a Monte Carlo simulation. During each of the three months ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, we recorded share-based
compensation expense of $ 30,000 related to outstanding performance awards. During the six months ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, we
recorded share-based compensation expense of $ 45,000 and $ 60,000 , respectively, related to outstanding performance awards. On December
31, 2023, there was approximately $ 136,000 of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested performance awards, which is expected
to be expensed over the weighted-average period of 1.50 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. The vesting of these stock options is tied to the completion of service periods that range from 18 months to 10.5
years from the date of grant and the achievement of our common stock trading at certain pre-determined prices. The weighted average fair
value of the stock option awards granted in fiscal 2021 was $ 16.72 , calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation. In December 2021, the Compensation
Committee reallocated 5,000 previously forfeited non-qualified stock options, having the same remaining terms and conditions, to another
employee. The weighted average fair value of the stock option awards granted in fiscal 2022 was $ 6.69 , calculated using a Monte Carlo
simulation. During the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, we recorded compensation expense of $ 168,000 and $ 140,000 , respectively,
related to these options. During the six months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, we recorded compensation expense of $ 335,000 and $ 312,000 ,
respectively, related to these options. As of December 31, 2023, none of these stock options had vested and there was approximately $ 2 .0
million of unrecognized compensation cost related to these stock options.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In September 2014, our Board
approved the establishment of an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”). The ESPP conforms to the provisions of Section
423 of the Internal Revenue Code, has coterminous offering and purchase periods of six months, and bases the pricing to purchase shares
of our common stock on a formula so as to result in a per-share purchase price that approximates a 15% discount from the market price
of a share of our common stock at the end of the purchase period . The Board of Directors also approved that 704,715 shares be reserved
for issuance pursuant to the ESPP. The ESPP was approved by our shareholders at our 2014 Annual Meeting. An amendment to the ESPP to extend
its term for an additional ten years (through 2035) was approved by our Board in October 2023 and by our shareholders at our 2023 Annual
Meeting.
During the three months
ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, we did no t record any share-based compensation expense relating to the ESPP, due to the fact that no
six-month offering period ended during either quarter. During the six months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, 2,021 and 2,503 shares
of our common stock were purchased under the ESPP, respectively, and allocated to employees based upon their contributions at prices of
$ 15.82 and $ 13.52 , respectively, per share. On a cumulative basis, since the inception of the ESPP, employees have purchased a total of
34,519 shares of our common stock. During each of the six months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, we recorded share-based compensation
expense in the amount of $ 6,000 relating to the ESPP.

NOTE 10. NOTES PAYABLE
AND FINANCING TRANSACTIONS
Minnesota Bank & Trust
On
November 6, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), PDEX Franklin, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, purchased an approximate 25,000
square foot industrial building in Tustin, California (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 December 31, 2023 is $ 4,649,000 .
On
the Closing Date, we also entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with MBT (the “Amended Credit Agreement”),
providing for a $ 7,525,000 amended and restated term loan (the “Term Loan A”), a $ 1,000,000 term loan (the “Term Loan
B”), and a $ 2,000,000 amended and restated revolving loan, evidenced by an Amended and Restated Term Note A (“Term Note A”),
a Term Note B, and an Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Note (the “Revolving Note”) made by us in favor of MBT. The loans
under the Amended Credit Agreement 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 shares of our common stock. 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.
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 December 31, 2023, is $ 4,337,000 .
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. The balance owing on Term Note B was $ 646,000 on December
31, 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 current maturity date of December 29, 2025, on the terms set forth in the Amended
Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 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 current maturity date of December
29, 2025, on the terms set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement. On December 29, 2023, we entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Agreement
to amend the termination date of the Supplemental Loan and Amended Revolving Loan from December 29, 2024, to December 29, 2025. As of
December 31, 2023, we had drawn $ 2,500,000 against the Amended Revolving Loan. Loan origination fees in the amount of $ 16,000 each were
paid to MBT in conjunction with the Revolving Loan and the Supplemental Loan in conjunction with both the Amendment on December 29, 2022
and on December 29, 2023.
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).
Any payment
on the Term Loan A, the Term Loan B, the Amended Revolving Loan or the Supplemental Loan (collectively, the “Loans”) not
made within seven days after the due date is subject to a late payment fee equal to 5% of the overdue amount. Upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of an event of default, the interest rate of all Loans will be increased by 3% and MBT may, at its option, declare
all of the Loans immediately due and payable in full.
The
Amended Credit Agreement, Amended Security Agreement, Term Note A, Term Note B, Amended Revolving Note and Supplemental Note contain representations
and warranties, affirmative, negative and financial covenants, and events of default that are customary for loans of this type. We believe
that we are in compliance with all of our debt covenants as of December 31, 2023, but there can be no assurance that we will remain in
compliance for the duration of the term of these loans.

NOTE 11. 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 share 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 both the three and six
months ended December 31, 2023, we repurchased 6,285 shares at an aggregate cost, inclusive of fees under the Plan, of $ 107,000 . During

of fees under the Plan, of $ 995,000 and $ 1.3 million, respectively. On a cumulative basis, since implementation of the share repurchase
program in 2013, we have repurchased a total of 1,203,453 shares under the share repurchase program at an aggregate cost, inclusive of
fees, of $ 17.3 million. All repurchases under the 10b5-1 Plans were administered through an independent broker.
