PRO-DEX, INC. ANNOUNCES FISCAL 2009

FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL-YEAR RESULTS

Q4 sales increase 4% from prior year’s Q4 to $5.6 million.

Q4 earnings improve to $0.02 per share.

IRVINE, CA, September 17, 2009 - PRO-DEX, INC. (NasdaqCM: PDEX) today announced financial results for the fiscal fourth quarter and full-year ending June 30, 2009.

Sales for the fourth quarter ended June 30, 2009 increased 4% to $5.6 million compared to $5.4 million reported for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, as increases in medical device and motor shipments outpaced continued sluggish motion control sales. Net income for the fourth quarter was $202,000 or $0.02 per share (based on 9.7 million shares) compared to net loss of $412,000 or ($0.04) per share for the three months ended June 30, 2008.

Sales for the year ended June 30, 2009 decreased 16% to $21.1 million compared to $25.1 million in fiscal year 2008. The majority of the decrease was seen in medical products, as 2008 sales were unusually high due to a major customer, who built inventory in fiscal 2008, consumed it in fiscal 2009. The motion control business also reported lower sales as the economic slowdown adversely affected the end market for the capital equipment that use our motion control products. Motor sales remained flat year over year. A net loss was reported for the full fiscal year 2009 of $2,845,000 or $0.29 per share compared to net income of $317,000, or $0.03 per share for the full-year 2008 period.

Mark Murphy, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Fiscal 2009 was a difficult year for Pro-Dex, like many other businesses. From FY2005 through FY2008, we grew consistently every year, delivering a 22% cumulative annual growth rate. This trend was starkly interrupted in FY2009 by a 16% top line decrease, the first decrease we had experienced in 4 years. We reacted immediately and definitively in our commitment to the fundamentals of profitability and cash-generation, resizing the company to match our revenue levels. While the year’s results were sealed in Q3 with nearly $3 million of non-cash patent and deferred tax asset write-offs, we see the Q4 operating results as encouraging. We believe our largest medical customers have completed their inventory reductions and are now receiving product at rates that are more closely aligned with historical levels, helping to offset the continued softness in our motion control business. Comparing fiscal 2009 Q4 to Q3, we improved the top line by 22% (from $4.6 million to $5.6 million) and earnings per share from a loss of $0.31 ($0.27 from write-offs and $0.04 operationally) to earnings of $0.02. While it’s too early to declare sustainable improvement, we have a $9.6 million backlog and look forward to the anticipated release of a new product.”

Gross profit for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 increased to $1.9 million, a 35% gross profit margin, compared to gross profit of $1.5 million or 27% gross profit margin in last year’s fourth quarter as a result of higher sales levels and the absence of the prior year’s fourth quarter headquarters relocation costs of $225,000. Gross profit for the full 2009 fiscal year was $6.7 million, a 32% gross profit margin compared to gross profit of $8.2 million or 33% gross profit margin for the year-ago period. For the full year, margins were adversely impacted by lower volumes of our more profitable products.

Operating expenses for the fourth quarter decreased by 27% to $1.7 million, compared to $2.2 million in the fourth quarter 2008. While the 2008 fourth quarter operating expenses included move-related costs of $274,000, the remainder of the decrease in spending was attributable to structurally lower costs, primarily decreased labor expenses, resulting from our FY2009 cost-reduction efforts. For the full fiscal 2009 year, operating expenses, including the non-cash $997,000 intangible write-off, increased by $487,000 (6%) to $8.2 million from $7.7 million in fiscal 2008.

Mr. Murphy continued, “We have taken the necessary steps to adapt from our previous rapid growth to our current reality. This economy has severely tested the business models of many companies. Pro-Dex remains strong because our model is based on repeating sales of customized, high-value products. We grow fastest when new products are being developed and when such development requires accelerated timeframes. Neither has been the case this past fiscal year. It is now time to look forward. We are committed to identifying new products that we can assist our customers in bringing to market over the coming months and years. In the meantime, our cost structure has been better aligned with our current revenue base.”

During both the fourth quarter and the entire fiscal year 2009, we continued to strengthen the balance sheet. In Q4, we generated an additional $878,000 of operating cash. For all of fiscal 2009, we generated $1.7 million in cash from operations compared to $2.0 million in the year-ago period. At June 30, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1,124,000 compared to cash and cash equivalents of $517,000 as of June 30, 2008. There was nothing borrowed under the terms of the Company’s revolving credit line compared to $2,000,000 outstanding under that line at June 30, 2008. The Company’s net debt (total debt less cash) was $2.2 million at June 30, 2009, down from $3.5 million at June 30, 2008.
