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 balance sheets of Pro-Dex, Inc. (the Company) as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, the related statements of operations and comprehensive income, shareholders equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Change in Accounting Principle
As disclosed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for leases for the year ended June 30, 2020, due to the adoption of Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 842.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companys 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 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 Companys 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 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 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 financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO 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 maxocranial facial markets. We have patented adaptive torque-limiting software and proprietary sealing solutions which appeal to our customers, primarily medical device distributors. We also manufacture and sell rotary air motors to a wide range of industries.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The summary of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist the reader in understanding our financial statements. Such financial statements and related notes are the representations of management, who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. In the opinion of management, these accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) in all material respects, and have been consistently applied in preparing the accompanying financial statements.
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.
Returns of our product for credit are minimal; 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.
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
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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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, 2020 and 2019, 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 on-going basis, we evaluate inventory for obsolescence and slow-moving items. This evaluation includes analysis of historical sales and usage, existing demand, as well as specific factors known to management. As of June 30, 2020 and 2019, there was approximately $303,000 and $276,000, respectively, of inventory in-transit.
Investments
Investments at June 30, 2020 and 2019, consist of marketable equity securities of publicly held companies. The investments were made to realize a reasonable return, although there is no assurance that positive returns will be realized. Investments are marked to market at each measurement date, with unrealized gains and losses, net of income taxes, presented as adjustments to accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. Our long-term investments consist of common stocks of public companies that are thinly traded. These investments were subject to an independent valuation as of June 30, 2020.
Long-lived Assets
We review the recoverability of long-lived assets, consisting of equipment and leasehold improvements, when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate carrying values may not be recoverable.
Equipment and leasehold improvements are recorded at historical cost and depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the following periods:
Equipment
Three to ten years
Leasehold improvements
Shorter of the lease term or the assets estimated useful life
Intangibles
Intangibles consist of legal fees incurred in connection with patent applications. Certain of our patent costs are being amortized over a period of seven years, the estimated life of the product that is currently utilizing the patented technology. The remaining patent costs will be amortized over the estimated life of the product(s) that will be utilizing the technology or expensed immediately in the event the patent office denies the issuance of the patent. The expense associated with the amortization of the patent costs is recognized in research and development costs.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Income Taxes
We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of our assets and liabilities along with net operating losses and tax credit carryovers. Deferred tax assets at both June 30, 2020 and 2019, consisted primarily of basis differences related to unrealized gain/loss related to investments, fixed assets, accrued expenses, and inventories.
Significant management judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes and the recoverability of deferred tax assets. Such determination is based on historical taxable income, with consideration given to estimates of future taxable income and the periods over which deferred tax assets will be recoverable. We record a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets to reduce the net carrying value to an amount that we believe is more likely than not to be realized. When we establish or reduce the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, the provision for income taxes will increase or decrease, respectively, in the period such determination is made.
Uncertain Tax Positions
We record uncertain tax positions in accordance with 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, 2020 and 2019, and throughout the fiscal years then ended, we had deposits in excess of federally insured limits. Credit sales are made to original equipment manufacturers and resellers throughout the world, and sales to such customers account for a substantial portion of our trade receivables. While such receivables are not collateralized, we evaluate their collectability based on several factors including customers payment histories.
Compensation Plans
We recognize compensation expense for the share-based awards 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 and we recognize compensation expense, based on the estimated fair value of the award, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
32
PRO-DEX, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Our operations are affected by numerous factors including market acceptance of our products, changes in technologies, and new laws, government regulations, and policies. We cannot predict what impact, if any, the occurrence of these or other events might have on our operations. Significant estimates and assumptions made by management include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, share-based compensation, the allowance for doubtful accounts, accrued warranty expense, inventory valuation, the carrying value of long-lived assets, the recoverability of notes receivable, and the recovery of deferred income tax assets.
Basic and Diluted Per Share Information
Basic per share amounts are computed on the basis of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period presented. Diluted per share amounts assume the issuance of all potential common stock equivalents, consisting of outstanding stock options and performance awards as discussed in Note 9, unless the effect of such exercise is to increase income, or decrease loss, per common share.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is measured based on the prices that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements are based on a three-tier hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents is considered to be representative of their fair values based on the short-term nature of these instruments. As such, cash and cash equivalents are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.
Investments: Investments consist of marketable equity securities of publicly held companies. As such, most of our investments are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Our long-term marketable securities consist of investments of common stock of publicly traded companies that are thinly traded. Due to the thinly traded nature of these stocks they are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. The fair value of these investments was based upon an independent valuation.
Although the methods above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of the net realizable value or reflective of future fair values, we believe our valuation methods are appropriate.
Advertising
Advertising costs are charged to selling or general and administrative expense as incurred and amounted to $1,000 and $2,000 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
On July 1, 2019, we adopted ASU 2016-02, (Topic 842) Leases , using a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings in the amount of $42,000 as of the beginning of fiscal 2020. The objective of this update is to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The impact of adoption was an increase to long-term assets and total liabilities of approximately $3.3 million as of July 1, 2019.
33
PRO-DEX, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Effective July 1, 2018, we adopted new revenue recognition guidance issued by the FASB related to contracts with customers. Under 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 utilized the modified retrospective method of adoption and there was no impact on our financial statements as a result of adopting Topic 606 for the year ended June 30, 2019. We primarily sell finished products and recognize revenue at point of sale or delivery and the timing of revenue recognition has not changed with the adoption of the new guidance. 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 order to disclose the amount of revenue related to these services, where more judgment is required, we have added NRE & Prototypes to our net sales table included under Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of this report, which in our prior reports had been reflected in Medical device and services.
Reclassifications
We have reclassified certain of our marketable equity securities from current to long-term, to conform to the current year presentation, as we have concluded that these marketable securities are thinly traded. This balance sheet reclassification had no impact on our net income.

Investments at June 30, 2020 and 2019, had an aggregate cost basis of $6,483,000 and $3,780,000, respectively. The long-term investments include equity securities of public companies that are thinly traded and therefore we classified the assets 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, 2020, the investments included net unrealized losses of $1,563,000 (gross unrealized losses of $1,703,000 offset by gross unrealized gains of 140,000). At June 30, 2019, the investments included gross unrealized losses of $549,000 and no unrealized gains.
Of the total long-term marketable equity securities at June 30, 2020 and 2019, $847,000 and $938,000, respectively, represent an investment in the common and preferred 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. The shares have been purchased through 10b5-1 Plans, which in accordance with our internal policies regarding the approval of related-party transactions, was approved by our three Board members that are not affiliated with Air T, Inc.
We invest surplus cash from time to time through our Investment Committee, which is comprised of one management director, Mr. Van Kirk, and two non-management directors, Mr. Cabillot and Mr. Swenson, who chairs the committee. 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, such as Air T, Inc.

Patent-related costs consist of legal fees incurred in connection with both patent applications and a patent issuance, and will be amortized over the estimated life of the product(s) that is or will be utilizing the technology, or expensed immediately in the event the patent office denies the issuance of the patent. Since we do not know when, or if, our patent applications will be issued, the future amortization expense is not predictable.

5. INCOME TAXES
On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act). The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer side social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations, and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property (QIP). Under ASC 740, the effects of new legislation are recognized upon enactment.
As of June 30, 2020, we have, as a result of the technical amendments made by the CARES Act to QIP, accelerated tax depreciation expenses of approximately $94,000, which represents favorable temporary book-to-tax timing differences (i.e., no effective tax rate impact) for income tax purposes and are recorded as components within our deferred income tax assets and income tax receivable, included in prepaid expenses and other current assets, on our balance sheets. We do not expect the other provisions of the CARES Act to materially impact our business or our tax provision. The provision for income taxes consists of the following amounts (in thousands):

Realization of our deferred tax assets is dependent upon future earnings, if any, the timing and amount of which are uncertain. As of June 30, 2020, our deferred tax asset valuation allowance primarily consists of unrealized capital loss for investments held and the state net operating loss carryforwards for states in which we have filed a final return. For the year ended June 30, 2020, we recorded a net increase to our valuation allowance of $66,000, on the basis of managements reassessment of the amount of our deferred tax assets that are more likely than not to be realized.

PRO-DEX, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of June 30, 2020, 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 research and development and alternative minimum tax credit carry forwards at June 30, 2020. State tax research credit carry forwards at June 30, 2020, amount to $65,000, the majority of which do not expire.
As of June 30, 2020, we have accrued $524,000 of unrecognized tax benefits related to federal and state income tax matters that would reduce our income tax expense if recognized. If we are eventually able to recognize our uncertain tax positions, our effective tax rate would be reduced. Any adjustment to our uncertain tax positions would result in an adjustment of our tax credit carryforwards rather than resulting in a cash outlay.

Although it is reasonably possible that certain unrecognized tax benefits may increase or decrease within the next twelve months due to tax examinations, settlement activities, expirations of statute of limitations, or the impact on recognition and measurement considerations related to the results of published tax cases or other similar activities, we do not anticipate any significant changes to unrecognized tax benefits over the next twelve months.
We recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense when applicable. As of June 30, 2020, no interest or penalties applicable to our unrecognized tax benefits have been accrued since we have sufficient tax attributes available to fully offset any potential assessment of additional tax.
We are subject to U.S. federal income tax, as well as income tax of California, Maryland, Massachusetts, and Colorado. We are currently open to audit under the statute of limitations by the Internal Revenue Service for the years ended June 30, 2017, and later. However, because of our prior net operating losses and research credit carryovers, substantially all of our tax years are open to audit.
6. NOTES PAYABLE AND FINANCING TRANSACTIONS
Minnesota Bank & Trust
On September 6, 2018, we entered into a Credit Agreement with Minnesota Bank & Trust, a Minnesota state banking corporation (MBT), providing for a $5,000,000 term loan (the Term Loan) as well as a $2,000,000 revolving loan (the Revolving Loan and together with the Term Loan, collectively the Loans), evidenced by a Term Note A and a Revolving Credit Note made by us in favor of MBT. The Loans are secured by substantially all of our assets pursuant to a Security Agreement entered into on September 6, 2018, between us and MBT. We paid loan origination fees to MBT in the amount of $60,000, which is being amortized to loan fees over the term of the underlying debt.
38
PRO-DEX, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Term Loan matures on October 1, 2025, and bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.53% per annum. An initial payment of interest only in the amount of $18,433 was paid on October 1, 2018. Commencing November 1, 2018 and continuing on the first day of each subsequent month thereafter until the maturity date, we are required to make payments of principal and interest on the Term Loan of approximately $72,000, plus any additional accrued and unpaid interest through the date of payment. The balance owed on the Term Loan at June 30, 2020, is $3.9 million, net of unamortized loan fees. The Revolving Loan matures on November 6, 2020, unless earlier terminated pursuant to its terms and bears interest at the greater of (a) 4.5% or (b) the difference of the prime rate as published in the Money Rates section of the Wall Street Journal minus 0.50%. Commencing on the first day of each month after we initially borrow against the Revolving Loan, which we have yet to do, and each month thereafter until maturity, we are required to pay all accrued and unpaid interest on the Revolving Loan through the date of payment. Any principal on the Revolving Loan that is not previously prepaid shall be due and payable on the maturity date (or earlier termination of the Revolving Loan).
Any payment on the Loans not made within seven days after the due date is subject to a late payment fee equal to 5% of the overdue amount. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default, the interest rate of both Loans will be increased by 3% and MBT may, at its option, declare the Loans immediately due and payable in full.
The Credit Agreement and Security Agreement contain representations and warranties, affirmative, negative and financial covenants, and events of default that are customary for loans of this type.
Scheduled maturities of our Term Loan, exclusive of unamortized loan origination fees, for future fiscal years ending June 30 are as follows (in thousands):

Jules & Associates/Hitachi Capital America Corporation
On July 21, 2016, we entered a master equipment lease agreement with Jules and Associates, Inc. to lease a specific machine used in our inspection process. The cost of the equipment was approximately $106,000 and the lease provided for 36 monthly payments in the amount of $3,121, as well as interim rent in the amount of $7,388. The lease was subsequently assigned to Hitachi Capital America Corporation. The lease was paid off in full during the first quarter of fiscal 2020.
7. LEASES
Effective July 1, 2019, we adopted the new lease accounting standard using the modified retrospective method of applying the new standard at the adoption date. In addition, we elected the practical expedient which allowed us to carry forward the historical lease classification of our sole operating lease for our corporate office, which includes our manufacturing and research and development facilities. Adoption of this standard resulted in the recording of net operating lease right-of-use (ROU) asset and corresponding operating lease liability each in the amount of $3.3 million. Our financial position for reporting periods beginning on or after July 1, 2019, is presented under the new guidance, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with previous guidance.

8. 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 2020 and 2019 was $561,000 and $548,000, 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. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we recognized compensation expense amounting to $67,000 and $42,000, respectively, in connection with the 401(k) Plan. During our fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we used approximately $7,000 and $16,000, respectively, of forfeited match contributions to reduce our match expense.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Legal Matters
We are from time to time a party to various legal proceedings 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 and adverse.
9. 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 Directors 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.
Stock Options
There were no stock options granted during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. As of June 30, 2020, there was no unrecognized compensation cost under the Former Stock Option Plans as all outstanding stock options are fully vested. The intrinsic value of stock options outstanding and exercisable at June 30, 2020, was approximately $862,000 with a weighted-average remaining contractual term of 1.03 years at June 30, 2020.
The following is a summary of stock option activity under the stock option plans for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019:

Performance Awards
In December 2017, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors granted 200,000 performance awards to our employees, 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 2020 was $16.90, calculated using the weighted-average fair market value for each award, using a Monte Carlo simulation. We recorded share-based compensation expense of $279,000 and $33,000 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, related to these performance awards. On June 30, 2020, there was approximately $244,000 of unrecognized compensation cost related to these non-vested performance awards expected to be expensed over the weighted-average period of 2.86 years.
41
PRO-DEX, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
On July 1, 2018, it was determined by the Compensation Committee that the first of five tranches of the performance awards had been achieved and participants were awarded 40,000 shares of common stock. Each participant elected a net issuance to cover their individual withholding taxes and therefore we issued 24,727 shares.
On July 1, 2020, it was determined by the Compensation Committee that the second of five tranches of the performance awards had been achieved and participants were awarded 40,000 shares of common stock. Each participant elected a net issuance to cover their individual withholding taxes and therefore we issued 25,629 shares with an effective date of July 16, 2020, coinciding with the pay date that included July 1, 2020.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In September 2014, our Board approved the establishment of an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the ESPP). The ESPP conforms to the provisions of Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code, has coterminous offering and purchase periods of six months, and bases the pricing to purchase shares of our common stock on a formula so as to result in a per share purchase price that approximates a 15% discount from the market price of a share of our common stock at the end of the purchase period. Our Board of Directors also approved the provision that shares formerly reserved for issuance under the Former Stock Option Plans in excess of shares issuable pursuant to outstanding options, aggregating 704,715 shares, be reserved for issuance pursuant to the ESPP. The ESPP was approved by our shareholders at 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, 2020 and 2019, shares totaling 2,920 and 2,743, respectively, were purchased pursuant to the ESPP and allocated to participating employees based upon their contributions at weighted- average prices of $13.25 and $8.02, respectively. On a cumulative basis, since the inception of the ESPP, employees have purchased a total of 21,786 shares. During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we recorded stock compensation expense in the amount of $7,000 and $4,000, respectively, relating to the ESPP.

In December 2019, our Board approved a new share repurchase program authorizing us to repurchase up to 1 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 the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, we repurchased 231,274 shares at an aggregate cost, inclusive of fees under the Plan, of $3.4 million. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, we repurchased 322,068 shares at an aggregate cost, inclusive of fees under the Plan, of $4.0 million. On a cumulative basis, we have repurchased a total of 819,325 shares under the share repurchase programs at an aggregate cost, inclusive of fess under the Plan, of $8.5 million. All repurchases under the 10b5-1 Plans were administered through an independent broker.
