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 applicable
provisions of 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, 2024. 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, 2024.
Recently
Issued and Not Yet Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In
December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No.
2023-09, Income Taxes: Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740) . ASU 2023-09 expands the existing rules on income tax
disclosures. This update requires entities to disclose specific categories in the tax rate reconciliation, provide additional information
for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold and disclose additional information about income taxes paid on an annual basis.
The new disclosure requirements are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. We are
currently evaluating these new expanded disclosure requirements, but this standard will not impact our results of operations or financial
position.
In
November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting: Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic280), which
expands disclosure requirements to require entities to disclose significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to, or easily
computed from information regularly provided to, the entity’s chief operating decision maker. This update also requires all annual
disclosures currently required by Topic 280 to be disclosed in interim periods. The new disclosure requirements are effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is
permitted. Although our business, as currently operated, has only one segment, we are evaluating the new disclosure requirements to ensure
compliance.
NOTE 2. 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 maxocranial facial markets. We have patented adaptive torque-limiting software and proprietary sealing solutions that
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 in November 2020, 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, 2024 we recorded $ 0
and $ 14,000 , respectively, of revenue that had been included in deferred revenue in the prior year. 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. The revenue recognized
from contract liabilities consisted of satisfying our performance obligations during the normal course of business. As of December 31,
2024 and 2023, we did no t have any deferred revenue.

Our investments include equity investments of thinly traded securities some of which are classified as long term in nature because if
we decide to sell these securities, we may not be able to sell our position within one year. At December 31, 2024, investments included
net unrealized gains of $ 2.3 million (gross unrealized gains of $ 2.7 million offset by gross unrealized losses of $ 341,000 ). At June 30,
2024, investments included net unrealized gains of $ 1.8 million (gross unrealized gains of $ 2.1 million offset by gross unrealized losses
of $ 261,000 ).
Of
the total marketable equity securities at December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, $ 941,000 and $ 987,000 , respectively, represent an investment
in the common stock of Air T, Inc. (NasdaqCM: AIRT). 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 Technologies, Inc., formerly Monogram Orthopaedics Inc.
(“Monogram”), we exercised a previously held warrant (the “Monogram Warrant”) in full in cash totaling $1,250,000
and received 1,828,551 shares of Monogram common stock (NasdaqCM: MGRM). The fair value of the Monogram common stock is reflected in
short term in the table above. 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 Cabillot and Nicholas Swenson, who chairs the committee. Both Messrs. Cabillot and 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. Cabillot or Swenson 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.

the issuance of the patent. Future amortization expense is expected to be $ 14,000 for the remainder of fiscal 2025 and $ 26,000 in fiscal
2026, at which time we expect these costs will be fully amortized.
NOTE 5. WARRANTY
Our
warranty accrual is based on historical costs of warranty repairs and expected future identifiable warranty expenses and is included in
accrued liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, the warranty
reserve amounted to $ 312,000 and $ 277,000 , 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.

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.
In income generating periods, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding reflects the effects of potentially dilutive securities,
which consist entirely of outstanding stock options, restricted stock, 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 share and 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, 2024 and
2023, we recognized accrued interest of $ 54,000 and $ 61,000 , respectively, related to unrecognized tax benefits. The effective
tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2024, and 2023 was 21 % and 19 % , respectively. The increase in the fiscal 2025 effective
tax rate is due primarily to the release in fiscal 2024 of a $ 60,000 valuation allowance related to previously recognized unrealized losses
on investments. We have not had a similar release of a valuation allowance during fiscal 2025. The effective tax rate for the six months
ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was 24 % and 45 % , respectively. The fiscal 2024 effective tax rate was similarly impacted due to the release
of the valuation allowance recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 and was a tax benefit since we had a year-to-date pre-tax loss.
We are subject to U.S. federal
income tax, as well as income tax of California and Colorado, as well as Massachusetts through fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. Our U.S.
federal income taxes are currently open to audit under the statute of limitations by the Internal Revenue Service for the fiscal years
ended June 30, 2021 and after. However, because of our prior net operating losses and research credit carryovers, our tax years
from June 30, 2013 and after 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, 2024, performance awards for 200,000 shares of common stock, non-qualified stock options for 372,000 shares of common stock, and 18,000
restricted shares of common stock have been granted under the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan.
Performance Awards
In October 2023, the Compensation
Committee of our Board (the “Compensation Committee”) reallocated previously forfeited performance awards for 15,200 shares
of common stock, having the same remaining terms and conditions as the forfeited awards, 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 the three months ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, we recorded share-based compensation expense
of $ 7,000 and $ 30,000 , respectively, related to outstanding performance awards. During the six months ended December 31, 2024, and 2023,
we recorded share-based compensation expense of $ 14,000 and $ 45,000 , respectively, related to outstanding performance awards. On December
31, 2024, there was approximately $ 41,000 of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested performance awards, which is expected
to be expensed over a weighted-average period of 1.50 years.
On July 1, 2024, it was
determined by the Compensation Committee that the vesting of performance awards for 40,000 shares of common stock had been achieved. Each
participant elected a net issuance to cover their individual withholding taxes and, therefore, we issued participants 25,134 shares of
common stock and paid $ 273,000 of participant-related payroll tax liabilities.

Non-Qualified Stock Options
In December 2020, the Compensation
Committee granted non-qualified stock options for 310,000 shares of common stock 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. During the three months
ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we recorded compensation expense of $ 104,000 and $ 168,000 , respectively, related to these options. During
the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we recorded compensation expense of $ 208,000 and $ 335,000 , respectively, related to these
options. As of December 31, 2024, none of these stock options had vested and there was approximately $ 1.4 million of unrecognized compensation
cost related to these stock options.
Restricted Shares
In November 2024, the Compensation
Committee awarded 18,000 restricted shares of common stock to our directors and certain employees under the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan.
The shares vest ratably over five years from the date of grant. The fair value of the restricted shares on the date of grant was $ 857,000 ,
based upon the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant. During the three months ended December 31, 2024, we recorded $ 19,000
of compensation expense related to these restricted shares. As of December 31, 2024, there was approximately $ 838,000 of unrecognized
compensation cost related to these restricted shares.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In September 2014, our Board
approved the establishment of an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) and reserved 704,715 shares of our common stock
for issuance pursuant to 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 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, 2024 and 2023, we did not 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, 2024 and 2023, 940 and 2,021 shares of
our common stock were purchased under the ESPP, respectively, and allocated to employees based upon their contributions at prices of $ 16.22
and $ 15.82 , respectively, per share. On a cumulative basis, since the inception of the ESPP, employees have purchased a total of 36,442
shares of our common stock. During the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we recorded share-based compensation expense in the
amount of $ 3,000 and $ 6,000 , respectively, relating to the ESPP.

Share Repurchase Program
In December 2019, our Board

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 the three and six months
ended December 31, 2024, we repurchased 38,172 and 130,148 shares, respectively, at an aggregate cost, inclusive of fees under the Plan,
of $ 1.2 million and $ 3.5 million, respectively. 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 . On a cumulative basis, since implementation of the share repurchase
program in 2013, we have repurchased a total of 1,511,497 shares under the share repurchase program at an aggregate cost, inclusive of

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion
and analysis should be read in conjunction with our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes
and other financial information appearing elsewhere in this report.
COMPANY OVERVIEW
The
following discussion and analysis provides information that management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of
the results of operations and financial condition of Pro-Dex, Inc. (“Company,” “Pro-Dex,”
“we,” “our,” or “us”) for the three-month and six-month periods ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
This discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included
elsewhere in this report. This report contains certain
forward-looking statements and information. The cautionary statements included herein should be read as being applicable to all related
forward-looking statements wherever they may appear. Our actual future results could differ materially from those discussed herein.
Except
for the historical information contained herein, the matters discussed in this report, including, but not limited to, discussions
of our product development plans, business strategies, strategic opportunities, and market factors
influencing our results, are forward-looking statements
that involve certain risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ from those anticipated by us as a result
of various factors, both foreseen and unforeseen, including, but not limited to, our ability
to continue to develop new products and increase
sales in markets characterized by
rapid technological evolution, our ability to optimize our operations at our Franklin facility, consolidation within our target marketplace
and among our competitors, employee turnover, competition from larger, better capitalized competitors, and our ability to realize returns
on opportunities. Many other economic, competitive, governmental, and
technological factors could impact our ability to achieve our goals. You are urged to review the risks, uncertainties, and other cautionary
language described in this report, as well as in our other public disclosures and reports
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) from time to time, including, but not limited to, the risks, uncertainties,
and other cautionary language discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended June 30, 2024.
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 maxocranial facial (“CMF”) markets. We have patented adaptive torque-limiting software and proprietary
sealing solutions that appeal to our customers, primarily medical device distributors. We also manufacture and sell rotary air motors
to a wide range of industries.

Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated
results of operations presented in this report are not audited and are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
entirety of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025, or any other interim period during such fiscal year. Our fiscal year ends on June 30
and our fiscal quarters end on September 30, December 31, and March 31. Unless otherwise stated, all dates refer to our fiscal year
and those fiscal quarters.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments
Our condensed
consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. 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.
An accounting policy is
deemed to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at
the time the estimate is made, and if different estimates that reasonably could have been used or changes in the accounting estimate that
are reasonably likely to occur could materially change the financial statements. Management believes that there have been no significant
changes during the three and six months ended December 31, 2024 to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies in
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2024.
Business Strategy and Future Plans
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 shall continue to supply their surgical
handpieces to them through calendar 2025 and we are currently in discussions with them to renew the agreement.
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.
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, including anticipated expanded capacity for the manufacture of batteries
and new products. We began operations in the new facility during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 and believe that the additional capacity
will allow for our continued expected growth.
Our current objectives are focused
primarily on maintaining our relationships with our current medical device customers, investing in research and development activities
to design unique medical devices as well as Pro-Dex branded drivers to leverage our torque-limiting software, expanding our manufacturing
capacity through the continuation of operations at the Franklin Property, and promoting active product development proposals to new and
existing customers for both orthopedic shavers and screw drivers for a multitude of surgical applications, while monitoring closely the
progress of all these individual endeavors. While we expect revenue growth in the future, it may not be a consistent trajectory but rather
periods of incremental growth that current expenditures are helping to create. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful
in any of these objectives.

Sales
of our medical device products increased $3.3 million, or 37%, for the three months ended December 31, 2024, and increased $5.4 million,
or 32%, for the six months ended December 31, 2024, compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year. Our orthopedic
sales increased $3.8 million, or 69%, and $5.7 million, or 55%, respectively, for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024 compared
to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year, due primarily to the launch of our largest customer’s next generation handpiece.
We expect to see similar increases in orthopedic sale for at least the remainder of this fiscal year. Recurring revenue from CMF drivers
decreased $920,000, or 33%, and $352,000 or 8%, respectively for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024 compared to the corresponding
period of the prior fiscal year. Our thoracic sales increased $410,000, or 63% and $89,000 or 5%, respectively for the three and six months
ended December 31, 2024 compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. While we do not have much visibility into our customers’
distribution networks, this level of change in thoracic and CMF sales (whether an increase or decrease) is not uncommon and fluctuations
occur based upon required inventory levels.
Sales
of our compact pneumatic air motors, reported as “Industrial and scientific”
sales above, decreased $72,000, or 30%, and $69,000, or 18%, respectively, for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024, compared
to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year. These are legacy products with no substantive marketing efforts and, as such, we
may continue to see a decline in revenue from these products. Our non-recurring (“NRE”) and proto-type revenue decreased $297,000,
or 88%, and $439,000, or 83%, for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024, compared to the corresponding periods of the prior
fiscal year, due to a decrease in billable contracts for various NRE projects undertaken for our customers.

Repair
revenue increased $1.6 million, or 48%, and $2.7 million, or 37%, respectively, for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024,
compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year, primarily due to an increased number of repairs of the orthopedic handpiece
we sell to our largest customer. This increase relates to the continuation of the previously disclosed enhanced repair program.
At
December 31, 2024, we had a backlog of approximately $48.1 million, of which $36.3 million is scheduled to be delivered in fiscal 2025
and the balance is scheduled to be delivered the following fiscal year. 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. We
may experience variability in our new order bookings due to various reasons, including, but not limited to, the timing of major new product
launches and customer planned inventory builds. However, we do not typically experience seasonal fluctuations in our shipments and revenues.

Cost
of sales for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024, increased $1.9 million, or 20%, and $3.4 million, or 19%, respectively,
compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year. The increase in cost of sales is consistent with the 33% and 29% increase
in revenue for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024, compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year. Additionally,
under-absorption for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024, increased $1.0 million and $1.9 million, respectively, compared
to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year. While we continue to anticipate growth
in our direct labor hours during the second half of this fiscal year such that our absorption will stabilize without the need to increase
our labor and overhead rates, however we also expect to increase our labor and overhead rates before the end of this fiscal year as needed.
The inventory and warranty charges for all periods presented are minor.
Gross
profit increased by $2.3 million, or 81%, and $3.8 million, or 58%, for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024, respectively,
compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year, primarily as a result of the increase in medical device and repair revenue
for the same periods as described above. Gross margin as a percentage of sales for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024, increased
8 and 6 percentage points, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year.

Selling expenses consist
of salaries and other personnel-related expenses for our business development department, as well as advertising and marketing expenses,
and travel and related costs incurred in generating and maintaining our customer relationships. Selling expenses for the three and six
months ended December 31, 2024 increased $12,000 and $35,000, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods of fiscal 2024. The
increase in both periods is primarily due to recruiting fees related to our new Director of Business Development (who we hired in December,
2024).
General and administrative
expenses (“G&A”) consists of salaries and other personnel-related expenses of our accounting, finance and human resource
personnel, as well as costs for outsourced information technology services, professional fees, directors’ fees, and other costs
and expenses attributable to being a public company. G&A increased $189,000 and $440,000, respectively, during the three and six months
ended December 31, 2024, when compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year. The increases relate primarily to increased
bonus accruals and personnel costs, offset by decreased audit fees and stock compensation expense.
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 for the three and
six months ended December 31, 2024, increased $154,000 and $191,000, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods of the prior
fiscal year. The increase for the three months ended December 31, 2024, compared to the comparable prior year period is primarily due
to an increase in internal project expenditures of $136,000 and legal fees related to our intellectual property of $46,000. The increase
for the six months ended December 31, 2024, compared to the comparable period of the prior year is primarily related to an increase in
recruiting fees of $73,000, billable project expense decreases of $72,000 and legal fees related to our intellectual property of $37,000.
When our engineers are engaged in billable projects as opposed to internal projects, costs get shifted to cost of sales instead of research
and development. While we are currently in development on two internal projects, project expenses for the periods presented in this report
are not material.
The majority of our research
and development costs relate to sustaining activities related to products we currently manufacture and sell. As we introduce new products
into the market, we expect to see an increase in sustaining and other engineering expenses. Typical examples of sustaining engineering
activities include, but are not limited to, end-of-life component replacement, especially in electronic components found in our printed
circuit board assemblies, analysis of customer complaint data to improve process and design, replacement and enhancement of tooling and
fixtures used in the machine shop, assembly operations, and inspection areas to improve efficiency and through-put.
20
Other Income (Expense), Net
Interest and Other Income
Interest income for the three
and six months ended December 31, 2024, and 2023 includes interest and dividends from our money market accounts and investment portfolio.
Unrealized Gain (Loss)
on Investments
The unrealized gain (loss) on
investments consists of our investment portfolio described more fully in Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained
elsewhere in this report. All of these investments are recorded at estimated fair value as of December 31, 2024, and relate to common
stock of publicly traded companies whose stock price is subject to significant volatility.
Interest Expense
Interest expense consists primarily
of interest expense related to our Minnesota Bank and Trust (“MBT”) loans described more fully in Note 10 to the condensed
consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this report.
Income Tax Expense
The effective tax rate
for the three months ended December 31, 2024, and 2023 was 21% and 19%, respectively. The fiscal 2024 effective tax rate was lower due
primarily to the release of a $60,000 valuation allowance related to previously recognized unrealized losses on investments. We have not
had a similar valuation allowance release in fiscal 2025. The effective tax rate for the six months ended December 31, 2024, and 2023
is 24% and 45%, respectively. The higher effective tax rate in the prior year was similarly due to the release of the valuation allowance
recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 and was a tax benefit since we had a year-to-date pre-tax loss.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents
at December 31, 2024 decreased $2.6 million to $66,000 as compared to $2.6 million at June 30, 2024. The following table includes a summary

Operating Activities
Net cash used in
operating activities was $2.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2024, due in part to net income of $4.5 million and non-cash
depreciation and amortization of $615,000 offset by non-cash unrealized gains on marketable equity investments of $510,000. Additionally,
accounts receivable, inventory and prepaid and other assets increased $4.6 million, $4.3 million, and $991,000, respectively, for the
six months ended December 31, 2024, offset by an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $3.0 million. As our business continues
to grow, we expect to see increases in both inventory and accounts payable. Our accounts receivable is similarly expected to increase
during periods of increased revenue.
21
Net cash provided
by operating activities was $1.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2023, primarily due to our net loss of $115,000 offset
by non-cash stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, and unrealized losses on marketable equity investments of $386,000,
$568,000, and $2.6 million, respectively. Although we experienced an influx of cash in the amount of $1.1 million due to a reduction in
our inventory balance during the six months ended December 31, 2023, our accounts receivable balance increased by $3.2 million due to
timing of customer payments.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing
activities for the six months ended December 31, 2024 was $973,000 and related mostly to equipment purchases for our machine shop, assembly,
and inspection.
Net cash used in investing
activities for the six months ended December 31, 2023, was $2.0 million and related to the exercise of our Monogram Warrant for cash in
the amount of $1,250,000 (see Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this report) as well as
equipment and improvements purchases in the amount of $759,000.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing
activities for the six months ended December 31, 2024, included net borrowings on loans from MBT in the amount of $4.5 million primarily
related to the Term Loan C described in Note 10 the condensed consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this report, offset
by the repurchase of $3.5 million of our common stock pursuant to our share repurchase program, as well as $305,000 of employee payroll
taxes related to shares of common stock issued to employees under previously granted performance awards and nonqualified stock options.
Net cash used in financing
activities for the six months ended December 31, 2023, totaled $740,000 and related primarily to the net principal payments of $665,000
on our loans from MBT more fully described in Note 10 to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this report,
as well as repurchase of 6,285 shares of our common stock pursuant to our share repurchase program in the amount of $107,000.
Financing Facilities & Liquidity Requirements for the Next
Twelve Months
As of December 31, 2024, our working
capital was $27.2 million. We currently believe that our existing accounts receivable balances and 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. While
our December 31, 2024, cash balance was only $66,000, it was caused largely by a $2.1 million delay in receivable collections from our
largest customer, which has since been received. Our working capital may also be supplemented by liquidating some of our marketable equity
investments, which had an estimated fair market value of $6.3 million as of December 31, 2024.
We are focused on maximizing our
working capital 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 on 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, assembly, and inspection
processes. In particular, we have experienced negative operating cash flow in the past, especially as we procure long-lead time materials
to satisfy our backlog, which can be subject to extensive variability. We believe that if we need to raise additional capital to fund
our operations, we can do so by borrowing against our $7.0 million Amended Revolving Loan with MBT, which had an available balance of
$3.5 million at December 31, 2024 (see Note 10 to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this report).
22
Investment Strategy
We invest surplus cash from time
to time through our Investment Committee, which is comprised of one management director, Richard Van Kirk, and two non-management directors,
Raymond Cabillot and Nicholas Swenson, who chairs the committee. Both Messrs. Cabillot and 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. Cabillot or Swenson 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 $6.3 million of
marketable public equity securities that we held on December 31, 2024.

4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure 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 December 31, 2024, that our
“disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (“Exchange Act”)) are not effective due to a material weakness. The term “disclosure
controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange
Act, means controls and other procedures of a company
that are designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed by the
company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported, within the time periods specified
in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures also include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed
to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company
in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act
is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal
executive officer and principal financial officer and principal accounting officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate,
to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
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. A material weakness was discovered relating to controls related to the existence of inventory during fiscal
2024 and we are continuing to remediate this weakness. While we believe that our inventory exists and is accurately recorded and properly
valued at December 31, 2024, we are continuing to expand our internal controls over the existence of inventory and have hired a warehouse
manager in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 to ensure that we successfully implement effective standard operating procedures, provide
adequate training to stockroom personnel, and continue our cycle count procedures.
Internal
Control over Financial Reporting
During
the three months ended December 31, 2024, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule
13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially
affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations
on the Effectiveness of Controls
In designing and evaluating
our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any system of controls and procedures, no matter how well designed
and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as ours are designed to do, and management
necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
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.
