Report
of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors
Pro-Dex, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Pro-Dex,
Inc. (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity,
and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
the Company as of June 30, 2024 and 2023, and the consolidated 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.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based
on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”)
and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements
are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform,
an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal
control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal
control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material
misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures to respond to those risks.
Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.
Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
27
Critical Audit Matters
Critical audit matters are matters
arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were
communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to
the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there are no
critical audit matters.

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
We specialize in the design, development
and manufacture of autoclavable, battery-powered and electric, multi-function surgical drivers and shavers used primarily in the orthopedic,
thoracic, and craniomaxillofacial markets. We have patented adaptive torque-limiting technology and proprietary sealing solutions
which appeal to our customers, primarily medical device distributors. We also manufacture and sell rotary air motors to a wide range of
industries.
In August 2020, we formed a wholly
owned subsidiary, PDEX Franklin, LLC (“PDEX Franklin”), to hold title for an approximate 25,000 square foot industrial building
in Tustin, California (the “Franklin Property”) that we acquired on November 6, 2020, in order to allow for the continued
growth of our business. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and PDEX Franklin and all significant
inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. This subsidiary has no separate operations.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The summary
of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist the reader in understanding our consolidated financial statements.
Such consolidated financial statements and related notes are the representations of management, who is responsible for their integrity
and objectivity. In the opinion of management, these accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) in all material respects and have been consistently applied in preparing the accompanying
consolidated financial statements.
Net Sales
Net sales consists of the
sale of products and services, as well as shipping and handling billed to our customers and is net of volume rebates and discounts and
excludes sales tax.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from product sales is recognized
as promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers once our contract(s) with a customer and the performance obligations in the contract have
been identified, and the transaction price has been allocated to the performance obligations and revenue is recorded when (or as) we satisfy
each performance obligation, generally upon shipment.
Revenue
from services, typically non-recurring engineering (“NRE”) services related to the design or customization of a medical device,
is typically recognized over time. The customer funding for costs incurred for NRE services is deferred and subsequently recognized as
revenue as under-lying products or services are delivered to the customers. Additionally, expenses incurred, up to the customer agreed
funding amount, are deferred as an asset and recognized as cost of sales when the under-lying products or services are delivered to the
customer. The deferred customer funding and costs result in recognition of deferred costs (asset) and deferred revenue (liability) on
our consolidated balance sheets.
One of our customer contracts
can give rise to variable consideration due to volume rebates. We estimate variable consideration at the most likely amount we will receive
from this customer. Our estimates of variable consideration are based on an assessment of our anticipated performance and all information
(historical, current, and forecasted) that is reasonably available to us.
Returns of our product for
credit are minimal; accordingly, we do not establish a reserve for product returns at the time of sale.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales consists primarily
of the purchase price of goods and cost of services rendered including freight costs. Cost of sales also includes production labor and
overhead costs for all of our manufacturing and assembly operations, which overhead includes all indirect labor and expenses associated
with our inspection, warehousing, material planning and quality departments.
34
PRO-DEX, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Estimated Losses on Product Development Services
Cost
and revenue estimates related to the product development service portions of development and supply contracts are reviewed and updated
quarterly. An expected loss on development service contracts is recognized immediately in cost of sales. Losses recorded in fiscal 2024
and 2023 related to these services totaled $ 118,000 and $ 108,000 , respectively.
Due
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 consolidated balance sheets. Warranty expenses are included in cost of sales in the accompanying consolidated statements
of operations. Changes in estimates to previously established warranty accruals result from current period updates to assumptions regarding
repair costs and warranty return rates and are included in current period warranty expense.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all highly liquid
investments with an original maturity of ninety days or less to be cash equivalents. At June 30, 2024 and 2023, 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 represented by expected credit losses. Management
determines the allowance for credit losses 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.
Leases
Our operating lease consists solely of our corporate headquarters located
in Irvine, California. We do not have any leases classified as financing leases. We classify arrangements meeting the definition of a
lease as operating or financing leases, and leases are recorded on the consolidated balance sheets as both a right-of-use asset (“ROU”)
and lease liability, calculated by discounting the fixed lease payments over the term of the lease term at the rate implicit in the lease
or the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease liabilities are increased by interest and reduced by payments each period, and
the ROU asset is amortized over the lease term. For operating leases, interest on the lease liability and the amortization of the ROU
asset result in straight-line rent expense over the lease term. Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement
date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Variable lease expenses are recorded when incurred. We exclude
short-term leases having an initial term of 12 month or less as an accounting policy election, and instead recognize rent expense on a
straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
We assess the impairment of ROU
assets when an event or change in circumstance indicates that the carrying value of such ROU assets may not be recoverable. If an event
or a change in circumstance indicates that the carrying value of an ROU asset may not be recoverable and the estimated fair value attributable
to the ROU asset is less than its carrying value, an impairment loss equal to the excess of the ROU’s carrying value over its estimated
fair value is recognized.
35
PRO-DEX, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Deferred Costs
Deferred costs reflect costs
incurred related to NRE 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 as of the measurement date. On an ongoing
basis, we evaluate inventory for obsolescence and slow-moving items. This evaluation includes analysis of historical sales and usage,
existing demand, as well as specific factors known to management. As of June 30, 2024 and 2023, there was approximately $ 275,000 and $ 637,000 ,
respectively, of inventory in-transit from suppliers.
Investments
Investments at June 30,
2024 and 2023, consist of marketable equity securities of publicly held companies. Investments at June 30, 2023 also included a warrant
(the “Monogram Warrant”) to purchase common stock of a company whose common stock first became publicly traded in May 2023,
which we exercised in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 (See Note 4). The investments were made to realize a reasonable return, although
there is no assurance that positive returns will be realized. Investments are marked to market at each measurement date, with unrealized
gains and losses presented separately within other income and expense on the consolidated income statement. All of our investments consist
of common stocks of public companies that are either thinly traded or we hold a significant (in excess of 5%) interest in. These investments
were subject to a valuation analysis as of June 30, 2024 and 2023.
Long-lived Assets
We review the recoverability
of long-lived assets, consisting of the land and building that we own, equipment, and improvements, including leasehold improvements,
when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate carrying values may not be recoverable.
Our building, equipment and
improvements are recorded at historical cost and depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the following periods:
Schedule of building, equipment and improvements
Building
Thirty years
Equipment
Three to ten years
Improvements
Shorter of the remaining life of the underlying building, lease term, or the asset’s estimated useful life
Intangibles
Intangibles
consist of legal fees incurred in connection
with patent applications. Our patent costs are being amortized over a period of four to seven years. The expense associated with the amortization
of the patent costs is recognized in research and development costs.
Income Taxes
We recognize deferred tax
assets and liabilities for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of our assets and liabilities
along with net operating losses and tax credit carryovers. Net deferred tax assets or liabilities at both June 30, 2024 and 2023
consisted primarily of basis differences related to unrealized gain/loss related to investments, stock-based compensation, fixed assets,
accrued expenses, and inventories. Our deferred tax assets also includes capitalization of our research expenditures as prescribed by
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
Significant management judgment
is required in determining the provision for income taxes, the recoverability of deferred tax assets, and the extinguishment of deferred
tax liabilities. Such determination is based on historical taxable income, with consideration given to estimates of future taxable income
and the periods over which deferred tax assets will be recoverable and deferred tax liabilities will be extinguished. We record a valuation
allowance against deferred tax assets to reduce the net carrying value to an amount that we believe is more likely than not to be realized.
When we establish or reduce the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, the provision for income taxes will increase or decrease,
respectively, in the period such determination is made.
36
PRO-DEX, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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% 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, 2024 and 2023, and throughout the fiscal years then ended, we had deposits
in excess of federally insured limits. Credit sales are made to medical device distributors, original equipment manufacturers, and resellers
throughout the world, and sales to such customers account for a substantial portion of our trade receivables. While such receivables are
not collateralized, we evaluate their collectability based on several factors including customers’ payment histories.
Segment Reporting
We have identified one business segment which management also considers
to be one reporting unit as our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) allocates resources, assesses performance, and manages our
business as one segment. We have reached this conclusion because 99% of our business relates to designing, manufacturing, and repairing
medical devices. We primarily design, sell, and repair handheld medical devices and accessories. We provide medical devices, NRE and proto-type
services, as well as repairs to all our customers and we utilize one machine shop and purchasing team to procure and manufacture all the
products that we sell. Our CEO utilizes consolidated operating income to analyze our business operations.
Compensation Plans
We recognize compensation
expense for the share-based awards that vest subject to market conditions under ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation by estimating
their fair value using a Monte Carlo simulation. The fair value using a Monte Carlo simulation model is affected by assumptions regarding
a number of complex judgments including expected stock price volatility, risk free interest rates, and the forecasted future value and
trading volume of our stock. The awards are considered granted for accounting purposes on the date the awards were approved by the Compensation
Committee of our Board of Directors and we recognize compensation expense, based on the estimated fair value of the award, on a straight-line
basis over the requisite service period.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial
statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Our operations are affected
by numerous factors including market acceptance of our products, supply chain disruptions, changes in technologies, and new laws, 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 credit losses, accrued warranty expense, investments, inventory valuation, the carrying value of long-lived assets,
and the recoverability/extinguishment of deferred income tax assets and liabilities.
37
PRO-DEX, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 12, unless the effect of such exercise is to increase income, or decrease loss, per common share.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is measured based
on the prices that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants
at the measurement date. Fair value measurements are based on a three-tier hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair
value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs
other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs
for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
Cash and cash equivalents:
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents is considered to be representative of their fair values based on the short-term nature
of these instruments. As such, cash and cash equivalents are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.
Investments: Investments
consist of marketable equity securities of publicly held companies as well as, at June 30, 2023, a warrant (the Monogram Warrant) to purchase
outstanding stock of a publicly traded company. Due to either the thinly traded nature of these stocks or our significant ownership percentage,
in excess of 5% of shares outstanding, all of our investments are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy as of June 30,
2024. Due to the lack of an active market for the Monogram Warrant, the estimated fair value of the warrant was measured using pricing
models with no observable inputs and was therefore considered a Level 3 measurement within the valuation hierarchy. The fair value of
all of our investments at June 30, 2024 and 2023 was based upon a valuation analysis.
Although the methods above
may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of the net realizable value or reflective of future fair values, we believe
our valuation methods are appropriate.
Advertising
Advertising costs
are charged to selling or general and administrative expense as incurred and amounted to $ 14,000 and $ 4,000 for the fiscal years ended
June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU
No 2022-02 (Topic 326) Financial Instruments – Credit Losses to create a new model for credit losses that reflects current
expected credit losses (“CECL”) over the lifetime of the underlying accounts receivable. The CECL methodology is applicable
to our trade accounts receivable and our deferred costs. We adopted ASU 2022-02 effective July 1, 2023, and the adoption did not have
a material impact on our financial statements.
Recently Issued and Not Yet Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In
December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes: Improvements to Income Tas Disclosures (Topic 740) . ASU 2023-09 expands
the existing rules on income tax disclosures. This update requires entities to disclose specific categories in the tax rate reconciliation,
provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold and disclose additional information about income
taxes paid on an annual basis. The new disclosure requirements are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early
adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating these new expanded disclosure requirements.
In
November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting: Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic280) which
expands disclosure requirements to require entities to disclose significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to or easily
computed from information regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker. This update also requires all annual disclosures currently
required by Topic 280 to be disclosed in interim periods. The new disclosure requirements are effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. Although our
business, as currently operated, has only one segment, we are evaluating the new disclosure requirements to ensure compliance.

The timing of revenue recognition,

balance sheets) and customer advances and deposits (presented as deferred revenue on our consolidated balance sheets), where applicable.
Amounts are generally billed as work progresses in accordance with agreed upon milestones. The over-time revenue recognition model consists
of NRE and prototype services and typically relates to NRE services related to the evaluation, design or customization of a medical device
and is typically recognized over time utilizing an input measure of progress based on costs incurred compared to the estimated total costs
upon completion. During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we recorded $ 0 and $ 1 .0 million, respectively, of revenue that
had been included in deferred revenue in the prior year. The revenue recognized from the contract liabilities consisted of satisfying
our performance obligations during the normal course of business.

equity securities at June 30, 2024 and 2023 had an aggregate cost basis of $ 3,964,000 and
$ 2,714,000 , respectively. Both current and long-term marketable equity securities include equity securities of public companies
that are thinly traded. We classified certain investments as long term in nature because even if we decide to sell the stocks, we may
not be able to sell our position within one year. At June 30, 2024, the investments included net unrealized gains of $ 1.8 million (gross
unrealized gains of $ 2.1 million offset by gross unrealized losses of $ 261,000 ). At June 30, 2023, the investments, excluding the Monogram
Warrant, included net unrealized losses of $ 219,000 (gross unrealized losses of $ 286,000 offset by gross unrealized gains of $ 67,000 ).
Of the total
marketable equity securities at June 30, 2024 and 2023, $ 987,000 and $ 1,134,000 , respectively, represent an investment in the common stock
of Air T, Inc. Two of our Board members, Messrs. Swenson and Cabillot, are also board members of Air T,
Inc. and both either individually or through affiliates own an equity interest in Air T, Inc. Mr. Swenson, our Chairman, also serves as
the chief executive officer and chairman of Air T, Inc. Another of our Board members is employed by Air T as its Chief of Staff. The shares
have been purchased through 10b5-1 Plans that, in accordance with our internal policies regarding the approval of related-party transactions,
were approved by our then three Board members that are not affiliated with Air T, Inc.
On October 6,
2023, in conjunction with the execution of a supply agreement with Monogram Technologies Inc., formerly Monogram Orthopaedics Inc. (“Monogram”),
we exercised the Monogram Warrant in full in cash totaling $ 1,250,000 and received 1,828,551 shares of Monogram common stock (NasdaqCM:
MGRM). On the date of exercise our unrealized loss on the investment was approximately $ 38,000 . The fair value of the Monogram common
stock of $ 3.2 million, is reflected in marketable equity securities – short term in the table above as of June 30, 2024. Our Chief
Executive Officer, Richard Van Kirk (“Rick”), is also a Monogram board member.
At June 30, 2023,
the Monogram Warrant was exercisable into a total of 1,823,058 shares of Monogram’s outstanding stock. The estimated fair value
of the Monogram Warrant at June 30, 2023 was $ 6,160,000 , using a Black-Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions:

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,

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, 2024, our deferred
tax asset valuation allowance primarily consists of state net operating loss carryforwards for states in which we have filed a final return.
For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we recorded a net decrease to our valuation allowance of $ 1,000 and $ 7,000 , respectively,
on the basis of management’s reassessment of the amount of our deferred tax assets that are more likely than not to be realized.
As of June 30, 2024, we did
not have any net operating losses for federal and state income tax purposes for state jurisdictions in which we currently operate. We
have no federal or state research and development and alternative minimum tax credit carry forwards at June 30, 2024.
As of June 30, 2024,
we have accrued $ 262,000 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 a cash outlay.

applicable to our unrecognized tax benefits have been accrued.
We are subject to U.S. federal
income tax, as well as income tax of California, Colorado, and Massachusetts. We are currently open to audit under the statute of limitations
by the Internal Revenue Service for the years ended June 30, 2021, and later. However, because of our prior net operating
losses and research credit carryovers, our tax years from June 30, 2013, are open to audit.
7. NOTES PAYABLE AND FINANCING TRANSACTIONS
Minnesota Bank & Trust
On
November 6, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), PDEX Franklin, a newly created wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, purchased the
Franklin Property. A portion of the purchase price was financed by a loan from MBT to PDEX Franklin in the principal amount of approximately
$ 5.2 million (the “Property Loan”) pursuant to a Loan Agreement, dated as of the Closing Date, between PDEX Franklin and MBT
(the “Property Loan Agreement”) and corresponding Term Note (the “Property Note”) issued by PDEX Franklin in favor
of MBT on the Closing Date. The Property Loan is secured by the Franklin Property pursuant to a Deed of Trust with Assignment of Leases
and Rents, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing in favor of MBT (the “Deed”) and by an Assignment of Leases and Rents by
PDEX Franklin in favor of MBT (the “Rents Assignment”). We paid loan origination fees to MBT on the Closing Date in the amount
of $ 26,037 .
The
Property Loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.55 % per annum, which is subject to a 3% increase upon an event of default. Accrued interest
was paid on December 1, 2020, and both principal and interest in the amount of approximately $ 30,000 are due and payable on the first
day of each subsequent month until the maturity date of November 1, 2030 (the “Maturity Date”), at which time a balloon payment
in the amount of $ 3.1 million is due. Any prepayment of the Property Loan (other than monthly scheduled interest and principal payments),
is subject to a prepayment fee equal to 4% of the principal amount prepaid for any prepayment made during the first or second year, 3%
of the principal amount prepaid for any prepayment made during the third or fourth year, 2% of the principal amount prepaid for any prepayment
made during the fifth or sixth year, and 1% of the principal amount prepaid for any prepayment made during the seventh or eighth year .
The Property Loan Agreement, Property Note, Deed, and Rents Assignment each contain representations, warranties, covenants, and events
of default that are customary for a loan of this type. The balance owed on the Property Loan at June 30, 2024 is $ 4,551,000 .
45
PRO-DEX, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
On
the Closing Date, we also entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with MBT (the “Amended Credit Agreement”),
providing for a $ 7,525,000 amended and restated term loan (the “Term Loan A”), a $ 1,000,000 term loan (the “Term Loan
B”), and a $ 2,000,000 amended and restated revolving loan, 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 Term
Note A had an outstanding principal balance of $ 3,770,331 as of the Closing Date and could be borrowed against through May 30, 2021 (the
“Commitment Period”). During the third quarter ended March 31, 2021, we borrowed an additional $ 3,000,000 against Term Note
A for the purpose of repurchasing our common stock as described in Note 13. The Term Note B had a zero balance as of the Closing Date
and we borrowed the full $ 1,000,000 during the third quarter ended March 31, 2021, for the purpose of making improvements to the Franklin
property described in Note 4.
The
Term Loan A matures on November 1, 2027 and bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.84 % per annum. Initial payments on the Term Loan A of
interest only were due on December 1, 2020 through June 1, 2021. Commencing July 1, 2021 and continuing on the first day of each month
thereafter until the maturity date, we are required to make payments of principal and interest on Term Loan
A of approximately $ 97,000 plus any additional accrued and unpaid interest through the date of payment. The balance owed on Term Loan
A as of June 30, 2024, is $ 3,834,000 .
The
Term Loan B matures on November 1, 2027 and bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.84 % per annum. Initial payments on the Term Loan B of
interest only were due on December 1, 2020 through June 1, 2021. Commencing July 1, 2021 and continuing on the first day of each month
thereafter until the maturity date, we are required to make payments of principal and interest on Term Loan B of approximately $ 15,000 ,
plus any additional accrued and unpaid interest through the date of payment. As of March 31, 2021, we had drawn fully against Term Note
B and the balance outstanding on Term Note B was $ 571,000 on June 30, 2024.
On December 29, 2022
(the “Second Amendment Date”), we entered into Amendment No. 2 to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Second
Amendment”) with MBT, which amends the Amended Credit Agreement and provides for a supplemental line of credit in the amount of
$ 3,000,000 (the “Supplemental Loan”). The Supplemental Loan is evidenced by a Supplemental Revolving Credit Note (the “Supplemental
Note”) made by us in favor of MBT. The purpose of the Supplemental Loan is for financing acquisitions and repurchasing shares of
our common stock. The Supplemental Loan may be borrowed against from time to time through its maturity date of December 29, 2024 , on the
terms set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2024, no amounts have been drawn against the Supplemental Loan.
The Revolving Loan
was also amended (the “Amended Revolving Loan”) in connection with the Second Amendment to extend the maturity date from November
5, 2023 to December 29, 2024 , to increase the Revolving Loan facility from $ 2,000,000 to $ 7,000,000 , and to increase the interest rate
on the Revolving Loan (as described below), evidenced by an Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Note (the “Amended Revolving Note”)
made by us in favor of MBT. The Amended Revolving Loan may be borrowed against from time to time by us through its maturity date on the
terms set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2024, we had drawn $ 3,000,000 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).
On
December 29, 2023, we entered into Amendment No. 3 to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which extended the maturity date of the Amended
Revolving Loan and the Supplemental Loan from December 29, 2024, to December 29, 2025.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Any
payment on the Term Loan A, the Term Loan B, the Amended Revolving Loan or the Supplemental Loan (collectively, the “Loans”)
not made within seven days after the due date is subject to a late payment fee equal to 5 % of the overdue amount. Upon the occurrence
and during the continuance of an event of default, the interest rate of all Loans will be increased by 3 % and MBT may, at its option,
declare all of the Loans immediately due and payable in full. The Loans are secured by substantially all of our assets pursuant to a Security
Agreement entered into between us and MBT on September 6, 2018.
The
Amended Credit Agreement, 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 June 30, 2024, but there can be no assurance that we will remain in compliance
for the duration of the term of these loans.

our operating lease has a remaining lease term of 3.25 years and 4.25 years, respectively, and an imputed interest rate of 5.3 %. Our lease
agreement does not provide an implicit rate and, as a result, we used our estimated incremental borrowing rate at the time we adopted ASC
842 to determine the present value of future lease payments. Cash paid for amounts included in the lease liability for the fiscal years
ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $ 519,000 and $ 504,000 , respectively.

Compensation Arrangements
Retirement Savings 401(k) Plan
The Pro-Dex, Inc. Retirement
Savings 401(k) Plan (the “401(k) Plan”) is a defined contribution plan we administer that covers substantially all our employees
and is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. Employees are eligible to participate
in the 401(k) Plan when they have attained 19 years of age and then can enter into the 401(k) Plan on the first day of each calendar quarter.
Participants are eligible to receive non-discretionary matching contributions by the Company equal to 25 % of their contributions up to
5 % of eligible compensation through December 15, 2022 and 50 % of their contributions up to 5 % of eligible compensation thereafter. For
the fiscal years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we recognized compensation expense amounting to $ 188,000 and $ 164,000 , respectively,
in connection with the 401(k) Plan. During our fiscal years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we used approximately $ 63,000 and $ 13,000 , respectively,
of forfeited match contributions to reduce our match expense.
Legal Matters
We may be involved in legal proceedings
arising either in the ordinary course of our business or incidental to our business. There can be no certainty, however, that we may not
ultimately incur liability or that such liability will not be material or adverse.
10. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
Stock Option Plans
Through 2014,
we had two equity compensation plans, the Second Amended and Restated 2004 Stock Option Plan (the
“Employee Stock Option Plan”) and the Amended and Restated 2004 Directors’ Stock Option Plan (the “Directors’
Stock Option Plan”) (collectively, the “Former Stock Option Plans”). The Employee Stock Option Plan and Director’s
Stock Option Plan were terminated in June 2014 and December 2014, respectively. No options were granted under the Former Stock Option
Plans during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 and all remaining outstanding stock options were exercised during fiscal 2023.
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.
Performance Awards
In December 2017, the Compensation
Committee of our Board of Directors granted 200,000 performance awards to our employees under the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan, which upon
vesting will generally be paid in shares of our common stock. Whether any performance awards vest, and the amount that does vest, is tied
to the completion of service periods that range from 7 months to 9.5 years at inception and the achievement of our common stock trading
at certain pre-determined prices. The weighted-average fair value of the performance awards granted was $ 4.46 , calculated using the weighted-average
fair market value for each award, using a Monte Carlo simulation. In February 2020, the Compensation Committee reallocated 48,000 previously
forfeited awards, having the same remaining terms and conditions, to certain current employees. The weighted average fair value of the
performance awards granted in fiscal 2020 was $ 16.90 , calculated using the weighted-average fair market value for each award, using a
Monte Carlo simulation. In December 2021, the Compensation Committee reallocated an additional 17,500 previously forfeited awards, having
the same remaining terms and conditions, to other employees. The weighted average fair value of the performance awards reallocated in
2021 was $ 20.34 , calculated using the weighted average fair market value for each award, using a Monte Carlo simulation. In October 2023,
the Compensation Committee reallocated an additional 15,200 previously forfeited awards, having the same remaining terms and conditions,
to other employees. The weighted average fair value of the performance awards reallocated in 2023 was $ 10.04 , calculated using the weighted
average fair market value for each award, using a Monte Carlo simulation. We recorded share-based compensation expense of $ 106,000 in
each of the fiscal years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, related to these performance awards. We recognize forfeitures for
our performance awards as they occur. On June 30, 2024, there was approximately $ 55,000 of unrecognized compensation cost related to these
non-vested performance awards expected to be expensed over the weighted-average period of 1.0 years.

PRO-DEX, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
On July 1, 2022, it was determined
by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors that the vesting of performance awards for 37,500 shares of common stock had been
achieved. Each participant elected a net issuance to cover their individual withholding taxes and therefore we issued 23,641 shares and
paid $ 223,000 of participant-related payroll tax liabilities.

Non-Qualified Stock Options
In December 2020, the Compensation
Committee of our Board of Directors granted 310,000 non-qualified stock options to our directors and certain employees under the 2016
Equity Incentive Plan. Whether any stock options vest, and the amount that does vest, is tied to the completion of service periods that
range from 18 months to 10.5 years at inception and the achievement of our common stock trading at certain pre-determined prices. We recorded
compensation expense of $ 490,000 and $ 647,000 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, related to these options.
The weighted average fair value of the stock option awards granted was $ 16.72 , calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation. We recognize
forfeitures for our non-qualified stock options as they occur. As of June 30, 2024, there was approximately $ 1.6 million of unrecognized
compensation cost related to these non-vested non-qualified stock options.
In February 2021, the Compensation
Committee of our Board of Directors granted 62,000 non-qualified stock options to our directors and certain employees under the 2016 Equity
Incentive Plan. Whether any stock options vest, and the amount that does vest, was tied to the completion of service periods that ranged
from 4 months to 1.3 years at inception and the achievement of our common stock trading at certain pre-determined prices. Of these 62,000
stock options, 57,750 vested on July 1, 2021, as our common stock met the pre-determined prices set forth in the underlying agreements.
We recorded compensation expense of $ 182,000 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 related to these options. The weighted average fair
value of the stock option awards granted was $ 3.16 , calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation. In December 2021, the Compensation Committee
of our Board of Directors granted 5,000 previously forfeited non-qualified stock options to another employee.

Employee Stock Purchase
Plan
In September 2014, our Board
approved the establishment of an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”). The ESPP conforms to the provisions of Section
423 of the Internal Revenue Code, has coterminous offering and purchase periods of six months, and bases the pricing at which participant’s
purchase shares of our common stock on a formula so as to result in a per share purchase price that approximates a 15% discount from the
market price of a share of our common stock at the end of the purchase period . Our Board of Directors also approved the provision that
shares formerly reserved for issuance under the Former Stock Option Plans in excess of shares issuable pursuant to outstanding options,
aggregating 704,715 shares, be reserved for issuance pursuant to the ESPP. The ESPP was approved by our shareholders at our 2014 Annual
Meeting. On February 2, 2015, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-8 registering the 704,715 shares issuable under the
ESPP under the Securities Act of 1933.
In October 2023, our Board
approved an amendment to the ESPP (the “ESPP Amendment”), which extended the term of the ESPP for an additional ten years
from January 2025 to January 2035. The ESPP Amendment was approved by our shareholders at our 2023 Annual Meeting.
During the fiscal years ended
June 30, 2024 and 2023, shares totaling 3,004 and 5,459 , respectively, were purchased pursuant to the ESPP and allocated to participating
employees based upon their contributions at weighted- average prices of $ 16.64 and $ 14.21 , respectively. On a cumulative basis, since
the inception of the ESPP, employees have purchased a total of 35,502 shares. During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we
recorded stock compensation expense in the amount of $ 9,000 and $ 14,000 , respectively, relating to the ESPP.

13. COMMON STOCK – Share Repurchase Program
In December 2019, our Board
approved a new share repurchase program authorizing us to repurchase up to one million shares of our common stock, as the prior repurchase
plan authorized by our Board in 2013 was nearing completion. In accordance with, and as part of, these shares repurchase programs, our
Board approved the adoption of several prearranged share repurchase plans intended to qualify for the safe harbor provided by Rule 10b5-1
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“10b5-1 Plan” or “Plan”). During the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2024, we repurchased 184,901
shares at an aggregate cost, inclusive of fees under the Plan, of $ 3.5
million. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, we repurchased 86,422
shares at an aggregate cost, inclusive of fees under the Plan, of $ 1.5
million. On a cumulative basis, since 2013 we have repurchased a total of 1,381,349
shares under the share repurchase programs at an aggregate cost, inclusive of fess under the Plan, of $ 20.7
million. All repurchases under the 10b5-1 Plans were administered through an independent broker.
14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On July 31, 2024 (the
“Fourth Amendment Date”), we entered into Amendment No. 4 to our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Fourth
Amendment”) with MBT which amends the Company’s Amended Credit Agreement. The Fourth Amendment (i) provides for a new term
loan, Term Loan C, in the amount of $ 5,000,000 , (ii) uses the proceeds from Term Loan C to repay the entire $ 3,000,000 balance that was
outstanding on the Fourth Amendment Date under the Amended Revolving Loan, and (iii) terminates the Supplemental Loan, under which
no amounts had been drawn. Loan origination fees in the amount of $ 10,000 were paid to MBT in conjunction with Term Loan C.
