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, 2022. 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, 2022.
Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016,
the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, “Financial
Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”, which introduces a forward-looking
approach, based on expected losses, to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables.
The estimate of expected credit losses will require entities to incorporate considerations of historical information, current information,
and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This ASU also expands the disclosure requirements to enable users of financial statements to
understand the entity’s assumptions, models, and methods for estimating expected credit losses. This guidance is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2022 (fiscal 2024 for the Company) with early adoption permitted. We do not believe the adoption of
this ASU will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
There are
no other recently issued accounting pronouncements that we have not yet adopted that we believe will have a material effect on our financial
statements.
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 which
appeal to our customers, primarily medical device distributors. We also manufacture and sell rotary air motors to a wide range of industries.
In August 2020, we formed a wholly
owned subsidiary, PDEX Franklin, LLC (“PDEX Franklin”), to hold title for an approximate 25,000 square foot industrial building
in Tustin, California (the “Franklin Property”) that we acquired on November 6, 2020, in order to allow for the continued
growth of our business. The 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 nine months ended March 31, 2023,
we recorded $ 405,000 and $ 956,000 , respectively, of revenue that had been included in deferred revenue in the prior year. During the three
and nine months ended March 31, 2022, we did no t record any 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.
Our entire deferred revenue balance of $ 57,000 at March 31, 2023, is currently expected to be recognized in the next 12-month period.

at March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, had an aggregate cost basis of $ 2,714,000 and $ 2,796,000 ,
respectively. The long-term investments include equity investments of thinly traded securities that we 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 March 31, 2023, the investments
included net unrealized losses of $ 31,000 (gross unrealized losses of $ 113,000 offset by gross unrealized gains of $ 82,000 ). At June 30,
2022, the investments included net unrealized losses of $ 262,000 (gross unrealized losses of $ 369,000
offset by gross unrealized gains of $ 107,000 ).
Of
the total marketable equity securities at March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, $ 1,149,000 and $ 755,000 , 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.
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.

of the property in the first quarter of this fiscal year. Currently, we are actively engaged in various verification and validation
activities. We expect that we will begin operations in the new facility during the fourth quarter of this fiscal year. The building

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. Future amortization
expense is expected to be $ 7,000 for the remainder of fiscal 2023 and $ 27,000 per fiscal year through fiscal 2026, at which time we expect
these costs to be fully amortized. During the three months ended December 31, 2021, we impaired $ 46,000 in previously capitalized legal
fees because although we were granted the underlying patent, in this case, we had (and continue to have) no products either in development
or sold that utilize the intellectual property protected by the patent.

NOTE 6. NET INCOME PER SHARE
The Company calculates
basic net income 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 used in the calculation of diluted income per share 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 per share computations for net income. In the tables
below, income amounts represent the numerator, and share 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 March 31, 2023 and 2022, we recognized accrued interest of $ 59,000
and $ 70,000 , 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, 2019 and later. Our state income tax returns are open to audit under the statute of limitations for the years ended June
30, 2019 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
Through June 2014, we had
two equity compensation plans, the Second Amended and Restated 2004 Stock Option Plan (the “Employee Stock Option Plan”) and
the Amended and Restated 2004 Directors’ Stock Option Plan (the “Directors’ Stock Option Plan”) (collectively,
the “Former Stock Option Plans”). The Employee Stock Option Plan and Director’s Stock Option Plan were terminated in
June 2014 and December 2014, respectively.
In September 2016, our Board
approved the establishment of the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan, which was approved by our shareholders at our 2016 Annual Meeting. The 2016
Equity Incentive Plan provides for the award of up to 1,500,000 shares of our common stock in the form of incentive stock options, nonstatutory
stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted stock units, performance awards, and other stock-based awards.
As of March 31, 2023, 200,000 performance awards and 372,000 non-qualified stock options have been granted under the 2016 Equity Incentive
Plan.
Former Stock Option Plans
No options
were granted under the Former Stock Option Plans during the three or nine months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.
As of March
31, 2023, there was no unrecognized compensation cost under the Former Stock Option Plans, as all remaining outstanding
stock options have been exercised during fiscal 2023. The following is a summary of stock
option activity for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022:

Performance Awards
In December 2017, the Compensation
Committee of our Board of Directors granted 200,000 performance awards to our employees, which 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 other employees. The weighted average fair value of the performance awards reallocated
in 2020 was $ 16.90 , calculated using the weighted average fair market value for each award, using a Monte Carlo simulation. In December
2021, the Compensation Committee reallocated an additional 17,500 previously forfeited awards, having the same remaining terms and conditions,
to other employees. The weighted average fair value of the performance awards reallocated in 2021 was $ 20.34 , calculated using the weighted
average fair market value for each award, using a Monte Carlo simulation. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we recorded
share-based compensation expense of $ 30,000 and $ 81,000 , respectively, related to outstanding performance awards. During the nine months
ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we recorded share-based compensation expense of $ 91,000 and $ 123,000 , respectively, related to outstanding
performance awards. On March 31, 2023, there was approximately $ 232,000 of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested performance
awards expected to be expensed over the weighted-average period of 2.25 years.
On July 1, 2022, it was
determined by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors that the vesting of performance awards for 37,500 shares of common
stock had been achieved. Each participant elected a net issuance to cover their individual withholding taxes and therefore we issued 23,641
shares and paid $ 223,000 of participant-related payroll tax liabilities.

Non-Qualified Stock Options
In December 2020, the Compensation
Committee of our Board of Directors granted 310,000 non-qualified stock options to our directors and certain employees under the 2016
Equity Incentive Plan. Whether any stock options vest, and the amount that does vest, is tied to the completion of service periods that
range from 18 months to 10.5 years 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 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 at a weighted average fair value of $ 6.69 calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation. During the three
months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we recorded compensation expense of $ 168,000 and $ 271,000 , respectively, related to these options.
During the nine months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we recorded compensation expense of $ 479,000 and $ 799,000 , respectively, related
to these options. As of March 31, 2023, none of these non-qualified options have vested and there was approximately $ 2.5 million of unrecognized
compensation cost related to these non-vested non-qualified stock options.
In February 2021, the Compensation
Committee of our Board of Directors granted 62,000 stock options to our directors and certain employees under the 2016 Equity Incentive
Plan. Whether any stock options vest, and the amount that does vest, is tied to the completion of service periods that range from 4 months
to 1.3 years at inception and the achievement of our common stock trading at certain pre-determined prices. Of these stock options, 4,250
were forfeited and the remaining 57,750 vested on July 1, 2021, as our common stock met the pre-determined prices set forth in the underlying
agreements. We recorded compensation expense of $ 59,000 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, related to these options.
The weighted fair value of the stock option awards granted was $ 3.16 , calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In September 2014, our Board
approved the establishment of an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), which was approved by our shareholders at our
2014 Annual Meeting. 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 under those plans, aggregating 704,715 shares, be reserved for issuance pursuant to the ESPP.
During the three months
ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we recorded ESPP share-based compensation expense in the amount of $ 8,000 and $ 5,000 , respectively, and
2,956 and 1,446 shares were purchased, respectively, and allocated to employees based upon their contributions at prices of $ 14.79 and
$ 21.11 , respectively, per share. During the nine months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we recorded ESPP share-based compensation expense
in the amount of $ 14,000 and $ 11,000 , respectively. On a cumulative basis, since the inception of the ESPP, employees have purchased a
total of 32,249 shares of our common stock.

AND FINANCING TRANSACTIONS
Minnesota Bank & Trust
On
November 6, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), PDEX Franklin, a newly created wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, purchased an
“Franklin Property (See Note 2). 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 March 31, 2023 is $ 4,794,000 .
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 March 31, 2023, is
$ 5,075,000 .
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 $ 756,000 on March 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 maturity date of December 29, 2024 , on the terms set forth in the Amended Credit
Agreement. As of March 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 maturity date on the terms set
forth in the Amended Credit Agreement. As of March 31, 2023, we had drawn $ 1,800,000 against the Amended Revolving Loan. Loan origination
fees in the amount of $ 16,000 were paid to MBT in conjunction with the Amended Revolving Loan and the Supplemental Loan.
The Amended Revolving Loan and
Supplemental Loan bear interest at an annual rate equal to the greater of (a) 5.0% or (b) SOFR for a one-month period from the website
of the CME Group Benchmark Administration Limited plus 2.5% (the “Adjusted Term SOFR Rate”). Commencing on the first day of
each month after we initially borrow against the Amended Revolving Loan and/or the Supplemental Loan and each month thereafter until maturity,
we are required to pay all accrued and unpaid interest on the Amended Revolving Loan and Supplemental Loan through the date of payment.
Any principal on the Amended Revolving Loan and/or Supplemental Loan that is not previously prepaid shall be due and payable in full on
the maturity date (or earlier termination of the Amended Revolving Loan and/or Supplemental Loan).
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 March 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 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 three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, we repurchased
11,576 and 86,422 shares, respectively, at an aggregate cost, inclusive of fees under the Plan, of $ 198,000 and $ 1,547,000 , respectively.
During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022, we repurchased 24,766 and 52,718 shares, respectively, at an aggregate cost, inclusive
of fees under the Plan, of $ 584,000 and $ 1,256,000 , respectively. On a
cumulative basis, since implementation of the share repurchase program in 2013, we have repurchased a total of 1,197,168 shares under
the share repurchase program at an aggregate cost of $ 17.2 million. All repurchases under the 10b5-1 Plans were administered through an
independent broker.

In
December 2020, our Board approved an ATM Agreement with Ascendiant Capital Markets, LLC (“Ascendiant”). The ATM Agreement
allows us to sell shares of our common stock in transactions that are deemed to be “at-the-market” equity offerings
as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including sales made by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions,
including on Nasdaq. In connection with the ATM Agreement, we entered into a prearranged
stock sales plan with Ascendiant, which is intended to qualify for the safe harbor under Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act (“ATM
10b5-1 Plan”). No sales of common stock have been made under the ATM Agreement as of the date of this report, but future sales may
occur pursuant to the parameters of the ATM 10b5-1 Plan or otherwise at the direction of our Board in accordance with the terms of the

Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated
results of operations presented in this report are not audited and those results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the entirety of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023. 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.
17
Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments
Our 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 nine months ended March 31, 2023 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, 2022.
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.
Simultaneously, we are working
to build top-line sales through active proposals of new medical device products with new and existing customers. Our patented adaptive
torque-limiting software has been very well received in the CMF and thoracic markets. Additionally, we have other significant engineering
projects under way described more fully below under “Results of Operations.”
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 substantially completed the build-out of the property in the first quarter
of the prior fiscal year. Currently, we are actively engaged in various verification and
validation activities and we expect we will begin operations in the new facility during the fourth quarter of this fiscal year.
In summary, our current objectives
are focused primarily on maintaining our relationships with our current medical device customers, expanding our manufacturing capacity
with the addition of the Franklin Property, investing in research and development activities to design Pro-Dex branded drivers to leverage
our torque-limiting software, and promoting active product development proposals to new and existing customers for orthopedic shavers,
screw drivers for a multitude of surgical applications, and other medical devices, while monitoring closely the progress of all these
individual endeavors. Our investments in research and development have historically increased disproportionately to our growth in revenue
and we anticipate this may continue in future periods. These expenditures are being made in an effort to release new products and garner
new customer relationships. This fiscal year, however, the majority of our engineering efforts relate to customer funded non-recurring
engineering (“NRE”) projects, which costs are reclassified to cost of sales. 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.
18
COVID-19 Pandemic
We have adjusted certain policies
and procedures based on applicable national, state, and local emergency orders and safety guidance that may be issued from time to time,
in order to effectively manage our business during the pandemic and to keep our employees safe. These measures have changed over time
and continue to change as our specific circumstances change.
While we have yet to see any significant
decline in our customer orders, we have received and accepted some customer requests to delay the shipment of their existing orders. We
are focused on the health and safety of all those we serve – our customers, our communities, our employees, and our suppliers. We
are supporting our customers according to their priorities and working with them to the degree that we can offer relief in the form of
delayed shipments. We are focused on continuity of supply by working with our suppliers, some of whom have delivered our orders late and
are quoting longer lead times.
During fiscal 2022, we began to
see some challenges in our supply chain in the form of delayed shipments, longer lead times, higher prices, and surcharges, much of which
our suppliers indicate have been caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. We have largely been able to mitigate our biggest supply chain concerns
by sourcing replacement chips through alternative suppliers, albeit at much higher prices, for many of our printed circuit board assemblies.
In so doing, our cost of sales increased during the second half of fiscal 2022 and thus far in fiscal 2023. We continue to implement plans
and processes to mitigate these challenges that many manufacturers similarly face. Our long-term prospects remain positive, and we believe
these challenges will negatively impact us only in the short-term.

Sales
of our medical device products increased $463,000, or 7%, and $432,000, or 2%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended March
31, 2023, compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year. Our medical device revenue to our largest customer,
included in orthopedic sales above, increased $633,000 and $1.0 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023
compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year . Additionally, recurring revenue from distributors of CMF drivers
increased $793,000 and $124,000, respectively, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the corresponding periods
of the prior fiscal year in part due to the launch of a new driver to our existing largest
customer during the third quarter of the prior fiscal year. Our thoracic sales revenue decreased $963,000 and $693,000,
for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, respectively, compared to the corresponding
periods of the prior fiscal year , due primarily as a result of our customer for our thoracic driver filling the near-term requirements
of its distribution network.
19
Sales
of our compact pneumatic air motors, reported as industrial and scientific sales above, decreased
$61,000, or 19%, and $84,000, or 11%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the corresponding
periods of the prior fiscal year. These are legacy products with no substantive marketing efforts . Our
NRE and proto-type revenue increased $421,000, or 77%, and $1.5 million, or 175%, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023,
compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year, due to an increase in billable contracts for various NRE projects undertaken
for our customers.
Sales
of our dental products and components decreased $160,000, or 79%, and $166,000, or 48%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended
March 31, 2023, compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year. In the prior fiscal year we sold component inventory to
our largest customer used in their legacy design which did not recur in the current fiscal year. We expect future declines in this area
as we are no longer manufacturing dental products, but rather are simply selling remaining component inventory.
Repair
revenue increased $3.2 million or 189%, and $4.3 million, or 102%, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, respectively, compared
to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year due to increased repairs of the orthopedic handpiece we sell to our largest customer.
This increase was expected as we have been upgrading handpieces to the next generation, which design was released to manufacture in the
third quarter of fiscal 2022. Additionally, we completed negotiations on repair pricing and terms with
this customer during the three months ended March 31, 2023, and received an additional $520,000 in compensation during the third quarter
of this fiscal year, for handpieces upgraded between July 2022 and December 2022 and reached an agreement for future consideration which
we expect to recognize in a future fiscal year. We expect to continue to see increases in repair revenue, albeit at reduced margins,
for the remainder of this fiscal year because this customer has requested that we perform an enhanced repair on each handpiece, which
includes the advance replacement of certain components.
At
March 31, 2023, we had a backlog of approximately $18.8 million, of which $8.5 million is scheduled to be delivered in the fourth quarter
of fiscal 2023 and the balance is scheduled to be delivered next fiscal year and beyond. 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 months ended March 31, 2023, increased $2.9 million, or 45%, compared to the corresponding period of the prior
fiscal year. The increase in total costs of sales was caused by the 41% increase in revenue for the same period. Under-absorption of manufacturing
costs increased by $201,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year due
in part to our inability to absorb our fixed costs, which were not reduced in the third quarter of the current fiscal year in anticipation
of future revenue growth. Costs relating to inventory and warranty charges decreased $385,000 for the third quarter ended March 31, 2023
compared to the third quarter of the prior fiscal year, largely due to a reduction in warranty expenses.
Gross
profit increased by approximately $953,000, or 33%, for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the corresponding period of
the prior fiscal year, consistent with the overall increase in revenue. Gross margin as a percentage of sales decreased by approximately
2 percentage points compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year due primarily to increased under-absorption of manufacturing
costs as a result of additional indirect costs in our manufacturing, assembly, and quality departments, especially related to ongoing
verification and validation activities for the Franklin Property.
Cost
of sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 increased by $6.3 million, or 32%, compared to the corresponding period of the prior
fiscal year. Although some of the increase in cost of sales is consistent with the 21% increase in revenue for the same period, the reasons
for which are discussed above, the enhanced repair program implemented for our largest customer includes the advance replacement of certain
components which has contributed to a $1.4 million increase in cost of sales. Additionally, total cost of sales reflects a $1.1 million
increase in under-absorbed manufacturing costs due to actual production hours being less than planned as well as the additional indirect
costs in our manufacturing, assembly, and quality operations described above. Inventory and warranty charges decreased by approximately
$383,000, or 57%, for the nine months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year, due to reduced
component inventory write-downs as a result of sourcing high priced components for our printed circuit board assemblies in the prior fiscal
year.
Gross
profit decreased by $299,000, or 3%, for the nine months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal
year, primarily as a result of the increase in cost of sales described above. Gross margin for the nine months ended March 31, 2023, decreased
by 7 percentage points compared to the corresponding period 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 nine
months ended March 31, 2023, increased $4,000, or 20%, and $67,000, or 85%, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods of fiscal
2022. The increase is primarily due to increased sales commissions.
General and administrative
expenses (“G&A”) consist 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 decreased $136,000 and $419,000, respectively, during the three and nine
months ended March 31, 2023, when compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year. The decreases relate primarily to reduced
legal and settlement expenses related to employment matters and reduced non-cash compensation expense related to stock compensation, offset
by increased legal fees related to intellectual property matters.
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 months
ended March 31, 2023, increased $55,000, or 8%, compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year. Research and development
costs for the nine months ended March 31, 2023, decreased $145,000, or 6%, compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year.
This relates to increased personnel and related expense offset by decreased spending on internal engineering projects and a shift to increased
spending on billable development projects. When our engineers are engaged in a billable project as opposed to an internal project, costs
get shifted to cost of sales instead of research and development.
22
Although the majority of our research
and development costs relate to sustaining activities related to products we currently manufacture and sell, we have created a product
roadmap to develop future products. Many of our product development efforts are undertaken only upon completion of an analysis of the
size of the market, our ability to differentiate our product from our competitors’, as well as an analysis of our specific sales
prospects with new and/or existing customers. The research and development costs represent between 36% and 41% of total operating expenses
for all periods presented and are expected to increase in the future as we continue to invest in product development efforts. The amount
spent on internal projects under development is summarized below (in thousands):

they could fail to become commercialized, or the actual annual revenue realized may be less than the amount estimated.
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 our machine shop, assembly operations, and inspection areas to improve efficiency and through-put. Additionally, these costs include
development projects that may be in their infancy and may or may not result in a full-fledged product development effort.
Interest & Other
Income
Interest income for the three
and nine months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, includes interest and dividends from our money market accounts and investment portfolio.
Interest Expense
Interest expense consists primarily
of interest expense related to the notes payable described more fully in Note 10 to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained
elsewhere in this report.
Unrealized gain (loss)
on marketable equity investments
The unrealized
gain (loss) on marketable equity investments relates to our investment portfolio more fully described in Note 4 to the condensed consolidated
financial statements contained elsewhere in this report.
Gain on Sale of Investments
During the first quarter ended
September 30, 2022, we sold some of the stocks in our portfolio of equity investments receiving proceeds of $88,000 and recording a gain
on the sale in the amount of $7,000.
23
Income Tax Expense
The effective tax rate
for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, is slightly less than our combined expected federal and applicable state
corporate income tax rates due to federal and state research credits. Additionally, the current year effective tax rate for the nine months
ended March 31, 2023 is less than our combined expected federal and applicable state corporate income tax rates due to a tax benefit recognized
as a result of common stock awarded to employees under previously granted performance awards in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 as described
more fully in Note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this report, as well as unrealized gains
on our marketable equity investments.

nine months ended March 31, 2023 for $89,000.

activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2022, was $1.6 million and related to purchases of equipment and improvements primarily
for the Franklin Property in the amount of $1.3 million and investments in marketable equity securities of publicly traded companies in
the amount of $334,000.
24
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing
activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2023, totaled $2.9 million and related primarily to the $1.5 million repurchase of 86,422
shares of our common stock pursuant to our share repurchase program, $4.8 million of payments to Minnesota Bank and Trust (“MBT”)
as well as payment of $223,000 of employee payroll taxes related to the award of 37,500 shares of common stock to employees under previously
granted performance awards. Offsetting these uses of cash we also borrowed $3.6 million from MBT under our amended revolving loan, and
collected $78,000 and $11,000, respectively, related to employee contributions to the ESPP plan and exercises of stock options.
Net cash used in financing
activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2022, totaled $1.8 million and related primarily to the $1.3 million repurchase of 52,718
shares of our common stock pursuant to our share repurchase program as well as $561,000 of principal payments on our loans from MBT more
fully described in Note 10 to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this report.
Financing Facilities & Liquidity Requirements for the next
twelve months
As of March 31, 2023, our working
capital was $21.0 million. We currently believe that our existing cash and cash equivalent balances together with our accounts receivable
balances will provide us sufficient funds to satisfy our cash requirements as our business is currently conducted for at least the next
12 months. In addition to our cash and cash equivalent balances, we expect to derive a portion of our liquidity from our cash flows
from operations. We may also liquidate some or all of our investment portfolio or borrow further against our $7.0 million Amended Revolving
Loan with MBT (see Note 10 to condensed consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this report), under which we had availability
of $5.2 million as of March 31, 2023.
We are focused on preserving our
cash balances by monitoring expenses, identifying cost savings, and investing only in those development programs and products that we
believe will most likely contribute to our profitability. As we execute 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 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
beyond the cash available from the strategies mentioned above, we can do so by selling additional shares of our common stock under the
ATM Agreement. (See Note 11 to condensed consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this report).
Investment Strategy
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. The Investment Committee approved each of the investments comprising the $2.7 million of marketable public equity
securities held at March 31, 2023.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (the principal executive officer and
principal financial officer, respectively) conducted
an evaluation of the design and operation of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”)). 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 and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure.
In accordance with SEC
rules, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial
Officer of the effectiveness, as of March 31, 2023, of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule
13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). “Internal control over financial reporting” includes those policies and procedures that:
(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately
and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the issuer;
(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary
to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures
of the issuer are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the issuer; and
(3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the issuer’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Based
on that evaluation as of March 31, 2023, our Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures
are effective.
Internal
Control Over Financial Reporting
During
the three months ended March 31, 2023, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f)
and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially
affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
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.
