BUSINESS

Company Overview

Pro-Dex, Inc. (“Company”, “Pro-Dex”, “we”, “our”, “us”) specializes in the design, development and manufacture of autoclavable, battery-powered and electric, multi-function surgical drivers and shavers used primarily in the orthopedic 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.

Through May 2018, our Fineline Molds (“Fineline”) division, acquired in fiscal 2015, manufactured plastic injection molding for a variety of industries. We sold the assets and business operations of our Fineline division on May 23, 2018. Management reviewed ASU 2014-08 Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disposals of Components of an Entity and concluded that the sale of Fineline does not require treatment as a discontinued operation because it is was not a material part of our operations.

Description of Business

The majority of our revenue is derived from designing, developing and manufacturing surgical devices for the medical device industry. The proportion of total sales by type is as follows (in thousands, except percentages):

	Years Ended June 30,
	2019					2018
	(In thousands)
			% of Revenue					% of Revenue
Medical devices	$	24,412		90	%	$	20,119		89	%

Repairs		1,137		4	%		394		2	%
Other		10		—	%		367		1	%
Total Sales	$	27,172		100	%	$	22,465		100	%

Our medical device products utilize proprietary designs developed by us primarily under exclusive development and supply agreements and are manufactured in our Irvine, California facility, as are our rotary air motors. Our medical device products are sold primarily to original equipment manufacturers and our air motors are sold primarily to a wide range of distributors and end users. In our San Dimas, California facility we manufactured plastic injection molds for a wide variety of industries through May 2018, upon which time we sold the division and terminated our obligations under the lease for the San Dimas facility. The proportion of total sales by facility is as follows:

	Years Ended June 30,
	2019					2018
	(In thousands)
			% of Revenue					% of Revenue
Irvine	$	27,172		100	%	$	22,107		98	%
San Dimas		—		—	%		358		2	%
Total Sales	$	27,172		100	%	$	22,465		100	%

In fiscal 2019, our top 20 customers accounted for 98% of our sales compared to 97% in fiscal 2018. In fiscal 2019, we had one customer, included in medical device revenue above, that accounted for 63% of sales with our next largest customer accounting for 13% of sales. This compares to fiscal 2018, when we had one customer, included in medical device revenue above, that accounted for 56% of our revenue and the next largest customer accounted for 12% of our revenue. In many cases, including our largest customers, disclosure of customer names is prohibited by confidentiality agreements with such entities.  We have no plans to discontinue the sales relationships with our existing significant customers.  

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. Additionally, we continue to invest in machinery and equipment to increase our machining through-put.

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 craniomaxillofacial (“CMF”) market and we have continued investment in this area with research and development focused on applying this technology to thoracic surgical applications. We invested significantly during fiscal 2018 on a thoracic driver utilizing adaptive torque-limiting software, and in early fiscal 2019, we entered a development contract with a current significant customer to private-label this driver for their unique specifications.  We anticipate sales to this existing customer will increase during fiscal 2020 as we add this product to their existing CMF driver and ancillary products that we currently supply.

2

In April 2017, we invested in Monogram Orthopaedics Inc. (“Monogram”), a medical device start-up specializing in precision, patient-specific orthopedic implants.  In conjunction with making the loan to Monogram, we were granted the exclusive right to develop, engineer, manufacture and supply certain products on behalf of Monogram. We impaired our entire $800,000 investment during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018 due to indications that Monogram had exhausted its cash and had been unable to obtain additional financing to enable continued research to commercialize their technology.

The majority of the raw materials and components used to manufacture our products are purchased and are available from several sources, including through our own in-house machining capabilities. Portescap, K-V Engineering, and Fischer Connectors are examples of key suppliers. We have no exclusive arrangements with any of our suppliers, but in several instances only one supplier is used for certain high-value components. In most of such instances, secondary suppliers have been identified, although it is likely that any transition to a new or different supplier would result in a delay in the supply chain. We consider our relationships with our suppliers and manufacturers to be good. We do not intend to terminate any such relationship at this time, nor does management have knowledge that any supplier or manufacturer intends to terminate its relationship with us.

Our commitment to product design, manufacturing and quality systems are supported by our compliance with several regulatory agency requirements and standards. We hold a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) Establishment Registration and a State of California Device Manufacturing License (Department of Public Health Food and Drug Branch) with respect to our Irvine, California facility. In addition, our Irvine, California facility is certified to ISO 13485:2016, Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC – Annex II, and Canadian Medical Device Conformity Assessment System.

At June 30, 2019, we had a backlog of $17.7 million compared with a backlog of $12.3 million at June 30, 2018. 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.  Our entire backlog at June 30, 2019 is expected to be delivered during fiscal 2020. We have experienced, and may continue to experience, variability in our new order bookings due to, among other reasons, the launch of new products, the timing of customer orders based on end-user demand, and customer inventory levels.  We do not typically experience seasonal fluctuations in our shipments and revenues.

Segments

We have only one operating segment as our business is currently operated.

Competition

The markets for products in the industries served by our customers are intensely competitive, and we face significant competition from a number of different sources. Several of our competitors have significantly greater name recognition, as well as substantially greater financial, technical, product development and marketing resources, than us.

We compete in all of our markets with other major medical device companies. As a provider of outsourced services, we also compete with our customers’ own internal development and manufacturing groups. Competitive pressures and other factors, such as new product or new technology introductions by us, our customers’ internal development and manufacturing departments, or our competitors, may result in price or market share erosion that could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Also, there can be no assurance that our products and services will achieve broad market acceptance or will successfully compete with other products targeting the same customers.

Research and Development

We conduct research and development activities to both maintain and improve our market position. Our research and development effort involves the design and manufacture of products that perform specific applications for our existing and prospective customers. Our research and development activities are focused on:

· expanding our knowledge base in the medical device industry to solidify our products with current customers and expand our customer base;

· advancing applicable technologies; and

· enhancing our product lines.

3

In certain instances, we may share research and development costs with our customers by billing for non-recurring engineering services. Revenue recognized for non-recurring engineering services represented 1% of our revenue in both fiscal 2019 and 2018. During recent years, we have entered into certain development and supply contracts, the development portions of which provide for billable non-recurring engineering service fees. Such fees are recognized as revenue generally over-time during the completion of product development services.  The revenue earned during fiscal 2019 relating to non-recurring engineering services was not material.

During both fiscal years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, we incurred research and development expenses amounting to $1.9 million, which costs exclude labor and related expenses of approximately $277,000 and $46,000 in fiscal 2019 and 2018, respectively, that were reimbursed by our customers through billings for non-recurring engineering services.

Employees

At June 30, 2019, we had 97 employees as well as 2 temporary employees all working at our corporate office in Irvine, California.  At June 30, 2018, we had 80 employees as well as 1 temporary employee all working at our corporate office in Irvine, California.  None of our employees are a party to any collective bargaining agreements with us. We consider our relationships with our employees to be good.

Government Regulations

The manufacture and distribution of medical and dental devices are subject to state and federal requirements set forth by various agencies, including the FDA, and state medical and dental boards. The statutes, regulations, administrative orders, and advisories that affect our businesses are complex and subject to diverse, often conflicting, interpretations. While we make every effort to maintain full compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, we are unable to eliminate the ongoing risk that one or more of our activities or devices may at some point be determined to be non-compliant. The penalties for non-compliance could range from an administrative warning to termination of a portion of our business. Furthermore, even if we are subsequently determined to have fully complied with applicable laws or regulations, the costs to achieve such a determination and the intervening loss of business could adversely affect or result in the cessation of a portion of our business. A change in such laws or regulations at any time may have an adverse effect on our operations.

The FDA designates all medical devices into one of three classes (Class I, II or III) based on the level of control necessary to assure the safety and effectiveness of the device (with Class I requiring the lowest level of control and Class III requiring the greatest level of control). The surgical instrumentation we manufacture is generally classified into Class I. The FDA has broad enforcement powers to recall and prohibit the sale of products that do not comply with federal regulations, and to order the cessation of non-compliant processes. No claim has been made to date by the FDA regarding any of our products or processes. Nevertheless, as is common in the industry, certain of our products and processes have been the subject of routine governmental reviews and investigations.

The total cost of providing health care services has been and will continue to be subject to review by governmental agencies and legislative bodies in the major world markets, including the United States, which are faced with significant pressure to lower health care costs. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act signed into law in March 2010 (the “Affordable Care Act”) imposes a 2.3% excise tax, currently suspended until December 31, 2019, on sales of certain medical devices, some of which we produce, that we may be unable to recover through price increases to our customers.

We believe that our business is conducted in a manner consistent with the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) and other agency regulations governing disposition of industrial waste materials.

While we believe that our products and processes fully comply with applicable laws and regulations, we are unable to predict the outcome of any investigation or review which may be undertaken in the future with respect to our products or processes.

Management believes that each of our facilities has manufacturing systems and processes that are based on established Quality Management System standards. In addition, we believe that our Irvine, California facility is compliant with applicable Good Manufacturing Practices promulgated by the FDA and is compliant with applicable ISO standards set forth by the International Organization for Standardization.

4

Patents, Trademarks and Licensing Agreements

We hold patents relating to miniature rotary drive products and torque-limiting screwdrivers. Our patents have varying expiration dates. The near term expiration of the patents, if any, is not expected to cause any change in our revenue-generating operations as the revenue from the products associated with those patents is not material.

We have no reason to believe that our activities infringe upon the intellectual property of any third party. With respect to our own patents, we have no reason to believe that our patents are invalid, and we believe that at least some of our patents cover certain aspects of our products. While we are unaware of any reason that would cause us to assert or defend a claim of patent infringement, any such assertion or defense could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations due to the costs involved.

We have certain federally registered trademarks relating to our products, including Pro-Dex^®, along with a number of other common law trademarks.

We have not entered into any franchising agreements. We have not granted nor do we hold any third-party licenses having terms under which we earn revenue or incur expense in material amounts.

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following risk factors, as well as the other information contained in this report, before deciding whether to invest in shares of our common stock. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects would suffer. In that case, the trading price of our common stock would likely decline and you might lose all or part of your investment in our common stock. The risks described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks that we currently do not know about or that we currently believe to be immaterial may also impair our operations and business results.

A substantial portion of our revenue is derived from a few customers. If we were to lose a key customer, it would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In fiscal 2019, our top 20 customers accounted for 98% of our sales, with our current largest customer accounting for 63% of our sales. This customer has made purchase commitments to us through a supply agreement to purchase surgical handpieces through calendar 2021. The loss of this customer or any of our significant customers would severely impact us, including having a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows, revenue and results of operations.

A substantial portion of our business is derived from our core business area that, if not serviced properly, may result in a material adverse impact upon our business, results of operations and financial condition.

In fiscal 2019, we derived 91% of our revenue from sales of our medical device products and related services. We believe that a primary factor in the market acceptance of our products and services is the value they create for our customers. Our future financial performance will depend in large part on our ability to continue to meet the increasingly sophisticated needs of our customers through the timely development, successful introduction and implementation of new and enhanced products and services, while at the same time continuing to provide the value our customers have come to expect from us. We have historically expended a significant percentage of our revenue on product development and believe that significant continued product development efforts will be required to sustain our growth. Continued investment in our sales and marketing efforts will also be required to support future growth.

There can be no assurance that we will be successful in our product development efforts, that the market will continue to accept our existing products, or that new products or product enhancements will be developed and implemented in a timely manner, meet the requirements of our customers, or achieve market acceptance. If the market does not continue to accept our existing products, or our new products or product enhancements do not achieve market acceptance, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

5

Our customers may cancel or reduce their orders, change production quantities or delay production, any of which would reduce our sales and adversely affect our operating results.

Since most of our customers purchase our products from us on a purchase order basis, they may cancel, change, or delay product purchase commitments with little notice to us. As a result, we are not always able to forecast with certainty the sales that we will make in a given period and sometimes we may increase our inventory, working capital, and overhead in expectation of orders that may never be placed, or, if placed, may be delayed, reduced, or canceled.

The following factors, among others, affect our ability to forecast accurately our sales and production capacity:

· Changes in the specific products or quantities our customers order; and

· Long lead times and advance financial commitments for components required to complete actual/anticipated customer orders.

Delayed, reduced or canceled purchase orders also may result in our inability to recover costs that we incur in anticipation of those orders, such as costs associated with purchased raw materials and write-offs of obsolete inventory.

In recent years, we have launched many new medical device products and our estimates of warranty claims are based largely on our previous history from similar legacy products. If actual warranty claims exceed our estimates, it could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

In recent years we have completed significant medical device development projects in the CMF surgical segment as well as a surgical handpiece used for orthopedic applications for which we have made estimates of product warranty claims based upon similar, legacy products.  If the actual repair volumes or repair costs exceed the estimates that we have been using, we may incur additional costs which could be materially adverse to our results of operations and financial condition.

We face significant competition from a number of different sources, which could negatively impact our results of operations and business conditions.

The markets for products in the industries served by our customers are intensely competitive, and we face significant competition from a number of different sources. Several of our competitors have significantly greater name recognition, as well as substantially greater financial, technical, product development and marketing resources, than us.

We compete in all of our markets with other major surgical device and related companies. As a provider of outsourced products and services, we also compete with our customers’ own internal development groups. Competitive pressures and other factors, such as new product or new technology introductions by us, our customers’ internal development and manufacturing departments, or our competitors, may result in price or market share erosion that could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Also, there can be no assurance that our products and services will achieve broad market acceptance or will successfully compete with other products.

The industry in which we operate is subject to significant technological change and any failure or delay in addressing such change could adversely affect our competitive position or could make our current products obsolete.

The medical device market is generally characterized by rapid technological change, changing customer needs, frequent new product introductions and evolving industry standards. The introduction of products incorporating new technologies and the emergence of new industry standards could render our existing products obsolete and unmarketable. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in developing and marketing new products that respond to technological changes or evolving industry standards.

6

New product development requires significant research and development expenditures that we have historically funded through operations; however, we may be unable to do so in the future. Any significant decrease in revenues or research funding could impair our ability to respond to technological advances in the marketplace and to remain competitive. If we are unable, for technological or other reasons, to develop and introduce new products in a timely manner in response to changing market conditions or customer requirements, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be materially adversely affected. Although we continue to target new markets for access, develop new products, and update existing products, there can be no assurance that we will do so successfully or that even if we are successful, such efforts will be completed concurrently with or prior to the introduction of competing products. Any such failure or delay could adversely affect our competitive position or could make our current products obsolete.

We rely heavily on our proprietary technology, which, if not properly protected or if deemed invalid, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We are dependent on the maintenance and protection of our proprietary technology and rely on patent filings, exclusive development and supply agreements, confidentiality procedures and employee nondisclosure agreements to protect it. There can be no assurance that the legal protections and precautions taken by us will be adequate to prevent misappropriation of our technology or that competitors will not independently develop technologies equivalent or superior to ours. Further, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect our proprietary rights to as great an extent as do the laws of the United States and are often not enforced as vigorously as those in the United States.

We do not believe that our operations or products infringe on the intellectual property rights of others. However, there can be no assurance that others will not assert infringement or trade secret claims against us with respect to our current or future products. Assertions or claims by others, whether or not valid, could cause us to incur significant legal costs defending our intellectual property rights and potentially require us to enter into a license agreement or royalty arrangement with the party asserting the claim or to cease our use of the infringing technology, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Two of our directors hold voting power with respect to a substantial portion of our outstanding common stock that enables them to have significant influence over the outcome of all matters submitted to our shareholders for approval, which influence may conflict with our interests and the interests of other shareholders.

As of August 13, 2019, two of our directors, Nicholas J. Swenson and Raymond E. Cabillot, directly or indirectly, controlled voting power over approximately 37% (26% and 11%, respectively) of the outstanding shares of our common stock. As a result of such voting control, these directors will have significant influence over all matters submitted to our shareholders for approval, including the election of our directors and other corporate actions, and may have interests that conflict with our interests and the interests of other shareholders.

If our technology infrastructure is compromised, damaged or interrupted by a cybersecurity incident, data security breach or other security problems, our operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected.

We use technology in substantially all aspects of our business operations, and our ability to serve customers most effectively depends on the reliability of our technology systems. We use software and other technology systems, among other things, to generate sales orders, job orders and purchase orders and to monitor and manage our business on a day-to-day basis. Cybersecurity incidents can include computer viruses, computer denial-of-service attacks, worms, and other malicious software programs or other attacks, covert introduction of malware to computers and networks, impersonation of authorized users, and efforts to discover and exploit any design flaws, bugs, security vulnerabilities or security weaknesses, as well as intentional or unintentional acts by employees or other insiders with access privileges, intentional acts of vandalism by third parties and sabotage.

In addition, our technology infrastructure and systems are vulnerable to damage or interruption from natural disasters, power loss and telecommunications failures. Any such disruption to our systems, or the technology systems of third parties on which we rely, the failure of these systems to otherwise perform as anticipated, or the theft, destruction, loss, misappropriation, or release of sensitive and/or confidential information or intellectual property, could result in business disruption, negative publicity,  loss of customers, potential liability, including litigation or other legal actions against us or the imposition of penalties, fines, fees or liabilities, which may not be covered by our insurance policies, and competitive disadvantage, any or all of which would potentially adversely affect our customer service, decrease the volume of our business and result in increased costs and lower profits. Moreover, a cybersecurity breach could require us to devote significant management resources to address the problems associated with the breach and to expend significant additional resources to upgrade further the security measures we employ to protect information against cyber-attacks and other wrongful attempts to access such information, which could result in a disruption of our operations.

7

While we have invested, and continue to invest, in technology security initiatives and other measures to prevent security breaches and cyber incidents, as well as disaster recovery plans, these initiatives and measures may not be entirely effective to insulate us from technology disruption that could result in adverse effects on our results of operations.

The agreements governing our various debt obligations impose restrictions on our business and could adversely affect our ability to undertake certain corporate actions.

The agreements governing our debt obligations include covenants imposing significant restrictions on our business. These restrictions may affect our ability to operate our business and may limit our ability to take advantage of potential business opportunities as they arise. These covenants place restrictions on our ability to, among other things:

· incur additional debt;

· declare or pay dividends to stockholders;

· create liens or use assets as security in other transactions;

· merge or consolidate, or sell, transfer, lease or dispose of all or substantially all of our assets;

· engage in transactions with affiliates; and

· sell or transfer assets.

The agreements governing our debt obligations also requires us to comply with a number of financial ratios, borrowing base requirements and additional covenants.

Our ability to comply with these covenants may be affected by events beyond our control, including prevailing economic, financial and industry conditions. These covenants could adversely affect our business by limiting our ability to take advantage of financing, merger and acquisition or other corporate opportunities. The breach of any of these covenants or restrictions could result in a default under our debt obligations. If we were unable to repay our debt, or are otherwise in default under any provision governing our secured debt obligations, our lender could proceed against us and against the collateral securing that debt.

To service our indebtedness, we will require a significant amount of cash. However, our ability to generate cash depends on many factors beyond our control.

Our ability to make payments on, and to refinance, our indebtedness and to fund capital expenditures, will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future, which, in turn, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, regulatory and other factors, many of which are beyond our control.

Our business may not generate sufficient cash flow from operations, and we may not have available to us future borrowings in an amount sufficient to enable us to pay our indebtedness or to fund our other liquidity needs. In these circumstances, we may need to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness on or before maturity. We may not be able to refinance any of our indebtedness, on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Without this financing, we could be forced to sell assets or secure additional financing to make up for any shortfall in our payment obligations under unfavorable circumstances. However, we may not be able to secure additional financing on terms favorable to us or at all and, in addition, the agreements governing our debt obligations limit our ability to sell assets. In addition, we may not be able to sell assets quickly enough or for sufficient amounts to enable us to meet our obligations.

We periodically invest surplus cash in marketable securities and other investments in order to realize a positive return, although there can be no assurance that a positive return will be realized, and we could lose some or all of our investments, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operation.

We invest a significant portion of our excess capital in marketable securities, including equity securities of publicly traded companies. At June 30, 2019, the fair value of these marketable securities was approximately $3.2 million. During the fiscal 2019, we purchased $650,000 in common stock of a public company that is listed on the Over-the-Counter market and is thinly traded.  As such, we recorded this investment as long-term in nature, as we may not be able to liquidate the investment in a timely manner even if we wish to sell it.  Further, since this company’s stock is infrequently traded, we obtained an independent valuation to determine the fair market value of the stock.

We may not be able to successfully integrate our business acquisitions, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We have acquired, and may acquire in the future, businesses, products, and technologies that complement or expand our current operations. Acquisitions could require significant capital investments and require us to integrate with companies that have different cultures, management teams, and business infrastructure. Depending on the size and complexity of an acquisition, our successful integration of the acquisition could depend on several factors, including:

· Difficulties in assimilating and integrating the operations, products, and workforce of an acquired business;

· The retention of key employees;

· Management of facilities and employees in separate geographic areas;

· The integration or coordination of different research and development and product manufacturing facilities;

· Successfully converting information and accounting systems; and

· Diversion of resources and management attention from our other operations.

If market conditions or other factors require us to change our strategic direction, we may fail to realize the expected value from one or more of our acquisitions. Our failure to successfully integrate our acquisitions or realize the expected value from past or future acquisitions could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our quarterly results can fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter, which may negatively impact the price of our shares and/or cause significant variances in the prices at which our shares trade.

Our sales have fluctuated in the past, and may fluctuate in the future from quarter to quarter and period to period, as a result of a number of factors, including, without limitation: the size and timing of orders from customers; the length of new product development cycles; market acceptance of new technologies; changes in pricing policies or price reductions by us or our competitors; the timing of new product announcements and product introductions by us or our competitors; the financial stability of major customers; our success in expanding our sales and marketing programs; acceleration, deferral, or cancellation of customer orders and deliveries; changes in our strategy; revenue recognition policies in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”); personnel changes; and general market and economic factors.

Because a significant percentage of our expenses are fixed, a variation in the timing of sales can cause significant fluctuations in operating results from quarter to quarter. As a result, we believe that interim period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as indications of future performance. Further, our historical operating results are not necessarily indicative of future performance for any particular period.

In addition, it is possible that our operating results in future quarters may be below the expectations of public market analysts and investors. In such an event, the price of our common stock could be materially adversely affected.

Our operations are dependent upon our key personnel. If such personnel were to leave unexpectedly, we may not be able to execute our business plan.

Our future performance depends in significant part upon the continued service of our key technical and senior management personnel. Because we have a relatively small number of employees when compared to other companies in the same industry, our dependence on maintaining our relationship with key employees is particularly significant. We are also dependent on our ability to attract and retain high quality personnel, particularly in the areas of product development, operations management, marketing and finance.

A high level of employee mobility and the aggressive recruiting of skilled personnel characterize the medical device industry. There can be no assurance that our current employees will continue to work for us. Loss of services of key employees could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Furthermore, we may need to provide enhanced forms of incentive compensation to attract and retain such key personnel.

9

Our operations are subject to a number of complex government regulations, the violation of which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

The manufacture and distribution of medical and dental devices are subject to state and federal requirements set forth by various government agencies including the FDA and EPA. The statutes, regulations, administrative orders, and advisories that affect our businesses are complex and subject to diverse, often conflicting, interpretations. While we make every effort to maintain full compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, we are unable to eliminate the ongoing risk that one or more of our activities may at some point be determined to be non-compliant. The penalties for non-compliance could range from an administrative warning to termination of a portion of our business. Furthermore, even if we are subsequently determined to have fully complied with applicable laws or regulations, the costs to achieve such a determination and the intervening loss of business could adversely affect or result in the cessation of a portion of our business. A change in such laws or regulations at any time may have an adverse effect on our operations.

The FDA designates all medical devices into one of three classes (Class I, II or III) based on the level of control necessary to assure the safety and effectiveness of the device (with Class I requiring the lowest level of control and Class III requiring the greatest level of control). The surgical instrumentation we manufacture is generally classified into Class I. The FDA has broad enforcement powers to recall and prohibit the sale of products that do not comply with federal regulations, and to order the cessation of non-compliant processes. No claim has been made to date by the FDA regarding any of our products or processes. Nevertheless, as is common in the industry, certain of our products and processes are from time to time subject to routine governmental reviews and investigations. We are also subject to EPA regulations concerning the disposal of industrial waste.

While management believes that our products and processes fully comply with applicable laws and regulations, we are unable to predict the outcome of any such future review or investigation.  

We face increased costs in the healthcare industry due to government reform.

Political, economic and regulatory influences are subjecting the healthcare industry to fundamental changes. The Affordable Care Act enacted sweeping reforms to the U.S. healthcare industry, including mandatory health insurance, reforms to Medicare and Medicaid, the creation of large insurance purchasing groups, new taxes on medical equipment manufacturers, currently suspended through 2019, that apply to certain of our products and other significant modifications to the healthcare delivery system. If the Affordable Care Act’s 2.3% excise tax on medical devices is not extended further or repealed, we may be unable to recover amounts that we are taxed through price increases to our customers, which would result in decreased margins on our products that are subject to the tax.

The global economic environment may impact our business, operating results or financial condition.

Changes in the global economic environment have caused, and may cause in the future, a general tightening in the credit markets, lower levels of liquidity, increases in rates of default and bankruptcy, and extreme volatility in credit, equity and fixed income markets. These macroeconomic developments could negatively affect our business, operating results or financial condition should they cause, for example, current or potential customers to become unable to fund purchases of our products, in turn resulting in delays, decreases or cancellations of purchases of our products and services, or causing the customer to not pay us or to delay paying us for previously purchased products and services. In addition, financial institution failures may cause us to incur increased expenses or make it more difficult either to obtain financing for our operations, investing activities (including the financing of any future acquisitions), or financing activities. Additional economic risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results.

We face risks and uncertainties associated with potential litigation by or against us, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We continually face the possibility of litigation as either a plaintiff or a defendant. It is not reasonably possible to estimate the awards or damages, or the range of awards or damages, if any, that we might incur in connection with such litigation.

10

Many of our products are complex and technologically advanced. Such products may, from time to time, be the subject of claims concerning product performance and construction, including warranty claims. While we are committed to correcting such problems as soon as possible, there is no assurance that solutions will be found on a timely basis, if at all, to satisfy customer demands or to avoid potential claims or litigation. Also, due to the location of our facilities, as well as the nature of our business activities, there is a risk that we could be subject to litigation related to environmental remediation claims. We maintain insurance to protect against claims associated with the manufacture and use of our products as well as environmental pollution, but there can be no assurance that our insurance coverage will adequately cover any claim asserted against us.

The uncertainty associated with potential litigation may have an adverse impact on our business. In particular, litigation could impair our relationships with existing customers and our ability to obtain new customers. Defending or prosecuting litigation could result in significant legal costs and a diversion of management’s time and attention away from business operations, either of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. There can be no assurance that litigation would not result in liability in excess of our insurance coverage, that our insurance will cover such claims or that appropriate insurance will continue to be available to us in the future at commercially reasonable rates.

We have experienced losses in the past, and we cannot be certain that we will sustain our current profitability; we may need additional capital in the future to fund our businesses, which we may not be able to obtain on acceptable terms.

We have experienced operating losses in the past. Although we were profitable in during the past four fiscal years, we incurred pre-tax losses from continuing operations of $446,000, $755,000, and $1,903,000 in fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Our ability to achieve or sustain profitability is based on a number of factors, many of which are out of our control, including the material costs for our products and the demand for our products.

We currently anticipate that our available capital resources, including our existing cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable balances will be sufficient to meet our expected working capital and capital expenditure requirements as our business is currently conducted for at least the next 12 months. We may also attempt to raise additional funds through public or private debt or equity financings, if such financings become available on acceptable terms. We cannot be certain that any additional financing we may need will be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to take advantage of opportunities, develop new products or otherwise respond to competitive pressures, and our operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected.

We are subject to changes in and interpretations of financial accounting matters that govern the measurement of our performance, compliance with which could be costly and time consuming.

We are subject to changes in and interpretations of financial accounting standards that govern the measurement of our performance. Based on our reading and interpretations of relevant pronouncements, guidance, or concepts issued by, among other authorities, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the SEC and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, management believes our performance, including current sales contract terms and business arrangements, has been properly reported. However, there continue to be issued pronouncements, interpretations and guidance for applying the relevant standards to a wide range of contract terms and business arrangements that are prevalent in the industries in which we operate. Future interpretations or changes by the regulators of existing accounting standards or changes in our business practices may result in future changes in our accounting policies and practices that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows, revenue and results of operations.

Our evaluation of internal controls and remediation of potential problems is costly and time consuming and could expose weaknesses in financial reporting.

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, requires management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. This process is expensive and time consuming and requires significant attention of management. Management can give no assurance that material weaknesses in internal controls will not be discovered. If a material weakness is discovered, corrective action may be time consuming and costly, and could further divert the attention of management. The disclosure of a material weakness, even if quickly remedied, could reduce the market’s confidence in our financial statements and harm our stock price, especially if a restatement of financial statements for past periods is required.

ITEM 7.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our Financial Statements and the Notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report, as well as the Risk Factors included in Item 1A of this report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements. (See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” included in Part 1 of this report.)

Overview

The following discussion and analysis provides information that management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our results of operations and financial condition for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

The Company, headquartered in Irvine, California, specializes in the design, development and manufacture of autoclavable, battery-powered and electric, multi-function surgical drivers and shavers used primarily in the orthopedic, spine, and maxocranial facial markets. Additionally, we provide engineering, quality and regulatory consulting services to our customers. We also sell rotary air motors. Our products are found in hospitals, medical engineering labs, scientific research facilities and high-tech manufacturing operations around the world.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. 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.

Revenue Recognition

Effective July 1, 2018, we adopted new revenue recognition guidance issued by the FASB related to contracts with customers.  Under ASU 2014-09, (Topic 606) “Revenue From Contracts with Customers,” we recognize revenue from the sales of products and services by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. We utilized the modified retrospective method of adoption and there was no impact on our financial statements as a result of adopting Topic 606 for the year ended June 30, 2019.  We primarily sell finished products and recognize revenue at point of sale or delivery and the timing of revenue recognition has not changed with the adoption of the new guidance.  However, we also perform services when we are engaged to design a product for a customer and there is more judgment involved in determining the amount and timing of revenue recognition under those types of contracts. In order to disclose the amount of revenue related to these services, where more judgment is required, we have added “NRE & Prototypes” to our net sales table included under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of this report, which in our prior reports had been reflected in “Medical device and services”. In fiscal 2019, the revenue from NRE and Prototypes represents approximately 1% of total revenue.

Returns of our product for credit are not material; accordingly, we do not establish a reserve for product returns at the time of sale.

Estimated Losses on Product Development Services

Cost and revenue estimates related to the product development service portions of development and supply contracts are reviewed and updated quarterly. An expected loss on development service contracts is recognized immediately in cost of sales.

Owing to the complexity of many of the contracts we have undertaken, the cost estimation process requires significant judgment. It is based upon the knowledge and experience of our project managers, engineers, and finance professionals. Factors that are considered in estimating the cost of work to be completed and ultimate profitability of the fixed price product development portion of development and supply contracts include the nature and complexity of the work to be performed, availability and productivity of labor, the effect of change orders, the availability of materials, performance of subcontractors, and expected costs for specific regulatory approvals.

14

Warranties

Most 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.

Warranty expenses, including changes of estimates, are included in cost of sales in our statements of operations.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value. Reductions to estimated net realizable value are recorded, and charged to cost of sales, when indicated based on a formula that compares on-hand quantities to both historical usage and estimated demand over the ensuing 12 months from the measurement date.

Accounts Receivable

Trade receivables are stated at their original invoice amounts, less an allowance for doubtful portions of such accounts. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts based on facts and circumstances related to specific accounts, and on historical experience related to the age of accounts. Trade receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of trade receivables previously reserved are offset against the allowance when received.

Deferred Costs

Deferred costs reflect costs incurred related to non-recurring engineering services under the terms of the related development and supply contracts.  These costs get recorded to cost of sales in the period that the revenue is recognized.

Investments

Investments consist of marketable equity securities of publicly held companies.  The investments were made to realize a reasonable return, although there is no assurance that positive returns will be realized. Investments are marked to market at each measurement date, with unrealized gains and losses, net of income taxes, presented as adjustments to accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. During fiscal 2019, we invested in the common stock of a public company that is listed on the Over-the-Counter market and is thinly traded.  This investment was subject to an independent valuation as of June 30, 2019.

Long-lived Assets

We review the recoverability of long-lived assets, consisting of equipment and leasehold improvements, when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate carrying values may not be recoverable.

Equipment and leasehold improvements are recorded at historical cost and depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the following periods:

Equipment	Three to ten years
Leasehold improvements	Shorter of the lease term or the asset’s estimated useful life

Intangibles

Other intangibles consist of legal fees incurred in connection with patent applications.  The legal fees will be amortized over the estimated life of the product(s) that will be utilizing the technology, or expensed immediately in the event the patent office denies the issuance of the patent. The expense associated with the amortization of the patent costs is recognized in research and development costs.

Notes Receivable

Notes receivable are stated at unpaid principal balance and are subject to impairment losses.  Management considers a note impaired when either i) based upon current information or factors, it is probable that the principal and interest payments will not be collected, or converted to equity, according to the terms of the secured convertible promissory note or ii) the fair market of the underlying collateral securing the note is less than the book value of the note receivable.

15

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 loss and tax credit carryovers. Deferred tax assets at June 30, 2019 and 2018 consisted primarily of basis differences related to research and development tax credit utilization, intangible assets, accrued expenses and inventories. 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 on our historical taxable income, with consideration given to our estimates of future taxable income and the periods over which deferred tax assets will be recoverable. In evaluating our ability to recover our deferred tax assets, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and results of recent operations. The assumptions about future taxable income require significant judgment and are consistent with the plans and estimates we are using to manage the underlying business. In evaluating the objective evidence that historical results provide, we consider three years of cumulative operating income (loss).

Net Sales

The majority of our revenue is derived from designing, developing and manufacturing powered surgical instruments for medical device original equipment manufacturers and rotary air motors. The proportion of total sales by product/service type is as follows:

	Years Ended June 30,										Increase (Decrease) From 2018
	2019					2018					To 2019
	(Dollars in thousands)
			% of Net Sales					% of Net Sales

	$	27,172		100	%	$	22,465		100	%		21	%

Net sales in fiscal 2019 increased by $4.7 million, or 21%, as compared to fiscal 2018, due primarily to an increase in medical device sales of $4.3 million. During fiscal 2019, sales to our largest customer increased by $4.6 million to $17.1 million, up from $12.5 million in fiscal 2018.  We manufacture a surgical handpiece designed to be used in orthopedic surgery applications for this customer and we have continued to see increased demand from this customer.

Sales of our industrial and scientific products, which consists primarily of our compact pneumatic air motors, increased $114,000 or 14 percent for fiscal 2019 compared to fiscal 2018.  Our dental and component revenue is generated from sales to many distributors and end-users whose purchasing activity can vary widely from year to year.  These are legacy products which have not had a product line refresh in several years.  In January 2018, we sent notifications to our dental product customers that we were discontinuing the manufacture of these products and that same month we accepted final purchase orders to be fulfilled over the next six months.  At this point we are focusing our product development and sales efforts almost exclusively on our medical device products, which prompted our decision to terminate the sales of our dental products.  Sales of our dental products and components have declined as we are no longer manufacturing this line of products, but rather are simply selling remaining component inventory.  The cessation of our dental line of products is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Our repair revenue has increased approximately $743,000 or 189 percent to $1.1 million, due largely to repairs of the orthopedic device we sell to our largest customer.  Typically, upon initial product launch, repair revenue is minimal as most repairs are typically covered under warranty, but as the products mature in the marketplace and after a certain number of routine duty cycles in the operating room, repairs generally increase.  We expect to continue to see an increase in repairs in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, but then expect we will reach a level run-rate through the balance of next fiscal year.

Finally, our other revenue decreased $357,000 in fiscal 2019 compared to the prior fiscal year due to revenue generated from our Fineline and ESD Divisions of $358,000 and $10,000, respectively, in fiscal 2018. Due to declining sales of Fineline, we sold the division in May 2018.  Additionally, and as indicated previously, in April 2017 we made a conscious decision to disband our ESD Division due to poor performance.

At June 30, 2019, we had a backlog of $17.7 million compared with a backlog of $12.3 million at June 30, 2018.  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.  Our entire backlog at June 30, 2019 is expected to be delivered during fiscal 2020. We have experienced, and may continue to experience, variability in our new order bookings due to, among other reasons, the launch of new products, the timing of customer orders based on end-user demand and customer inventory levels.  We do not typically experience seasonal fluctuations in our shipments and revenues.

Cost of sales in fiscal 2019 increased $2.9 million, or 20%, from fiscal 2018, primarily due to the increase in product costs, consistent with the 21% increase in net sales. During fiscal 2018, we accrued $83,000 for losses from the development services portion of certain contracts compared to none in fiscal 2019. Under-absorption of manufacturing costs decreased by $156,000 for fiscal 2019 compared to fiscal 2018, due primarily to adjustments to our standard labor and overhead rates at the beginning of fiscal 2019 in anticipation of higher manufacturing volumes.  Costs related to inventory and warranty charges increased $48,000 in fiscal 2019 compared to 2018, due primarily to an accrual in the amount of $63,000 for a previously announced product recall related to legacy batteries.

	$	4,789		18	%	$	5,567		25	%		(14	%)

Selling expenses consist of salaries and other personnel-related expenses related to our business development department, as well as trade show attendance, advertising and marketing expenses, and travel and related costs incurred in generating and maintaining customer relationships. Selling expenses increased $57,000, or 16%, compared to fiscal 2018, primarily related to increased personnel expenses in the amount of $178,000 as well as recruiting expense of $40,000 offset by decreases in the amount of $156,000 due to the sale of the Fineline division during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018.

General and administrative expenses (“G&A”) consist of salaries and other personnel-related expenses for corporate, accounting, finance and human resource personnel, as well as costs for outsourced information technology services, professional fees, directors’ fees and costs associated with being a public company. The $205,000 increase in G&A expenses from fiscal 2018 to 2019 is due primarily to $120,000 in increased fiscal 2019 bonus accruals and $59,000 in severance expense.

The fiscal 2018 asset impairment charges relate to the impairment of our investment in Monogram in the amount of $800,000 as well as impairment of goodwill and intangible assets in the amount of $229,000 related to Fineline, which was impaired during the second quarter of fiscal 2018 in conjunction with an impairment analysis.

Research and development costs consist of salaries and other personnel-related costs of our product development and engineering personnel, related professional and consulting fees, and costs related to intellectual property, laboratory usage, materials, and travel and related costs incurred in the development and support of our products.

18

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. Research and development costs represent between 34% and 39% of total operating expenses and are expected to increase in the future as we continue to invest in product development. The amount spent on projects under development is summarized below (in thousands):

Costs incurred related to customer contracts are included in costs of sales and deferred costs and are not included in research and development costs.

Other Income (Expense)

Interest and Dividend Income

Our interest and dividend income includes $183,000 of interest related to our investment in a hotel through the Participation Agreement more fully described in Note 6 to the Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this report as well as $83,000 of interest and dividend income earned from our interest bearing money market accounts and portfolio of equity investments.

Gain on sale of investments

During the quarter ended December 31, 2018, we liquidated one of the stocks in our portfolio of equity investments receiving proceeds of $1.9 million and recording a gain on the sale in the amount of $356,000.

Interest Expense

Interest expense consists primarily of interest expense related to the Term Loan from Minnesota Bank & Trust (“MBT”) described more fully in Note 7 to the Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this report and capital lease obligations for leased equipment.  

Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was 24% and 38%, respectively.  The decrease in the fiscal 2019 effective tax rate is due to the benefit of applying the new federal corporate income tax rate of 21% to the full fiscal year. The fiscal 2018 rate represents a blended rate for the rates in existence before and after the December 22, 2017 adoption of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following table is a summary of our Statements of Cash Flows and Cash and Working Capital as of and for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018:

	As of and for the Years Ended June 30,
	2019			2018
	(In thousands)
Cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	3,326		$	3,096
Investing activities	$	(1,222	)	$	(4,115	)
Financing activities	$	450		$	2,002
Cash, cash equivalents and working capital:
Cash and cash equivalents	$	7,742		$	5,188
Working capital	$	17,513		$	13,818

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities during fiscal 2019 was $3.3 million and relates primarily to our net income of $4.1 million, non-cash depreciation and amortization in the amount of $438,000 and the non-cash decrease in the deferred income taxes of $1.4 million, offset by an increase in inventory in the amount of $1.8 million due to projected increased sales, and an increase in accounts receivable of $1.1 million.

Cash provided by operating activities during fiscal 2018 relates primarily to our net income of $1.6 million and non-cash asset impairment charge of $1.0 million, the non-cash decrease in deferred income taxes of $391,000, and non-cash depreciation and amortization and stock compensation expense of $557,000 and $194,000, respectively, offset by an increase in inventory in the amount of $1.3 million due to projected increased demand from our largest customer. Offsetting the use of cash for inventory purchases, our accounts receivable decreased by $569,000 and our income taxes payable increased by $123,000.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities in fiscal 2019 was $1.2 million. During the 2019 fiscal year, we invested $3.0 million in the purchase of marketable equity securities and generated $1.9 million in proceeds from sales of marketable equity securities under the direction of the Investment Committee of our Board, made capital expenditures in the amount of $1.4 million primarily for manufacturing equipment and collected $1.2 million from the Loan Participation described more fully in Note 6 to the Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this report.

Net cash used in investing activities in fiscal 2018 was $4.1 million and related to the $1,150,000 Participation Agreement and the additional $350,000 investment made in Monogram. In addition, we invested $923,000 in equipment and $1.7 million in marketable equity securities during fiscal year 2018.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for fiscal 2019 included $5.0 million in a term loan from MBT more fully described in Note 7 to the Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this report, offset by $433,000 of principal payments on the MBT term loan and an equipment lease as well as $4.0 million related to the repurchase of 322,068 shares of our common stock pursuant to our share repurchase program.

During fiscal 2018, we generated $2.3 million in cash from financing activities through sales of our common stock under our ATM program more fully described in Note 12 to the Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this report. We also spent $220,000 on the repurchase of 33,026 shares of our common stock pursuant to the share repurchase program described in more detail below.

20

Liquidity Requirements for the Next 12 Months

As of June 30, 2019, our working capital was $17.5 million. We currently believe that our existing cash and cash equivalent balances, together with our account receivable balances, and anticipated cash flows from operations will provide us sufficient funds to satisfy our cash requirements as our business is currently conducted for at least the next 12 months. We may also borrow against our $2.0 million Revolving Loan with MBT, which we anticipate renewing (See Note 7 of Notes to Financial statements contained elsewhere in this report).

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 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 additional capital to fund our operations, we can raise additional capital by selling additional shares of our common stock through our ATM or borrow against our Revolving Loan with MBT.

Surplus Capital Investment Policy

During fiscal 2013, our Board approved a Surplus Capital Investment Policy (the “Policy”) that  provides, among other items, for the following:

(a)

Determination by our Board of Directors of (i) our surplus capital balance and (ii) the portion of such surplus capital balance to be invested according to the Policy;

(b)

Selection of an Investment Committee responsible for implementing the Policy; and

(c)

Objectives and criteria under which investments may be made.

The Investment Committee is comprised of Messrs. Swenson (Chair), Cabillot and Van Kirk.

The Investment Committee approved each of the investments comprising the $3.2 million of marketable public equity securities held at June 30, 2019, which amount includes unrealized holding losses in the amount of $549,000 at June 30, 2019.

In September 2013, our Board approved a share repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase up to 750,000 shares of our common stock under parameters to be determined by the Investment Committee.  In accordance with, and as part of, this share repurchase program, our Board has approved the adoption of several prearranged share repurchase plans intended to qualify for the safe harbor Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“10b5-1 Plan” or “Plan”).

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, we repurchased 33,026 shares at an aggregate cost, inclusive of fees under the Plan of $220,000. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, we repurchased 322,068 shares at an aggregate cost, inclusive of fees under the Plan of $4.0 million. On a cumulative basis, we have repurchased a total of 588,051 shares under the share repurchase program at an aggregate cost, inclusive of fees under the Plan, of $5.1 million. All repurchases under the 10b5-1 Plans were administered through an independent broker.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On July 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2014-09, (Topic 606) "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." This guidance outlines a single, comprehensive model of accounting for revenue from contracts with customers. We adopted the standard using the modified retrospective transition method, under which prior periods were not revised to reflect the impacts of the new standard. Our revenue is primarily generated from the sale of finished product to customers. Those sales predominantly contain a single delivery element and revenue is recognized at a single point in time when ownership, risks and rewards transfer. We also perform services when we are engaged to design a product for a customer and there is more judgment involved in determining the amount and timing of revenue recognition under those types of contracts. In fiscal 2019, the revenue from these activities represented approximately 1% of total revenue.  Accordingly, the timing of revenue recognition is not materially impacted by the new standard.

21

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, (Topic 842) Leases. The objective of this update is to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods and is to be applied utilizing a modified retrospective approach. However, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11 on July 30, 2018, which allows entities to apply the provisions of ASC 842 at the effective date without adjusting comparative periods. We have completed the assessment of our leases and we expect the adoption will lead to an approximate $3.3 million increase in the assets and liabilities recorded on our balance sheet.

No other new accounting pronouncement issued or effective during the fiscal year had or is expected to have a material impact on our Financial Statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of

Pro-Dex, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Pro-Dex, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2019 and 2018, the related statements of operations and comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2019, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the 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 financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures to respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

We specialize in the design, development and manufacture of autoclavable, battery-powered and electric, multi-function surgical drivers and shavers used primarily in the orthopedic 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.

Our Fineline Molds division (“Fineline”), acquired in fiscal 2015, manufactured plastic injection molding for a variety of industries. As disclosed in a Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 30, 2018, we sold substantially all of the assets of Fineline on May 23, 2018. Management reviewed ASU 2014-08 Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disposals of Components of an Entity and concluded that the sale of Fineline does not require treatment as a discontinued operation because it is was not a material part of our operations.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The summary of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist the reader in understanding our financial statements. Such financial statements and related notes are the representations of management, who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. In the opinion of management, these accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) in all material respects, and have been consistently applied in preparing the accompanying financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from product sales is recognized as promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) in Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers once our contract(s) with a customer and the performance obligations in the contract have been identified, and the transaction price has been allocated to the performance obligations and revenue is recorded when (or as) we satisfy each performance obligation, generally upon shipment.

Revenue from services, typically non-recurring engineering services related to the design or customization of a medical device, is typically recognized over-time.

Returns of our product for credit are minimal; accordingly, we do not establish a reserve for product returns at the time of sale.

Estimated Losses on Product Development Services

Cost and revenue estimates related to the product development service portions of development and supply contracts are reviewed and updated quarterly. An expected loss on development service contracts is recognized immediately in cost of sales.

Owing to the complexity of many of the contracts we have undertaken, the cost estimation process requires significant judgment. It is based upon the knowledge and experience of our project managers, engineers, and finance professionals. Factors that are considered in estimating the cost of work to be completed and ultimate profitability of the fixed price product development portion of development and supply contracts include the nature and complexity of the work to be performed, availability and productivity of labor, the effect of change orders, the availability of materials, performance of subcontractors, and expected costs for specific regulatory approvals.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Warranties

Certain of our products are sold with a warranty that provides for repairs or replacement of any defective parts for a period, generally one to two years, after the sale. At the time of the sale, we accrue an estimate of the cost of providing the warranty based on prior experience with such factors as return rates and repair costs, which factors are reviewed quarterly.

The warranty accrual is based on historical costs of warranty repairs and expected future identifiable warranty expenses, and is included in accrued expenses in the accompanying balance sheets. Warranty expenses are included in cost of sales in the accompanying statements of operations. Changes in estimates to previously established warranty accruals result from current period updates to assumptions regarding repair costs and warranty return rates, and are included in current period warranty expense.

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, 2019 and 2018, cash equivalents consisted of investments in money market funds.

Accounts Receivable

Trade receivables are stated at their original invoice amounts, less an allowance for doubtful portions of such accounts. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts based on facts and circumstances related to specific accounts and the age of accounts. Trade receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of trade receivables previously reserved are offset against the allowance when received.

Deferred Costs

Deferred costs reflect costs incurred related to non-recurring engineering services under the terms of the related development and/or supply contracts.  These costs get recorded to cost of sales in the period that the revenue is recognized.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value. Cost includes materials, labor and manufacturing overhead related to the purchase and production of inventories. Reductions to estimated market value are recorded, and charged to cost of sales, when indicated based on a formula that compares on-hand quantities to both historical usage and estimated demand over the ensuing 12 months from the measurement date. On an on-going basis, we evaluate inventory for obsolescence and slow-moving items.  This evaluation includes analysis of historical sales and usage, existing demand, as well as specific factors known to management. As of June 30, 2019, there was approximately $276,000 of inventory in-transit.

Investments

Investments at June 30, 2019 and 2018 consist of marketable equity securities of publicly held companies.  The investments were made to realize a reasonable return, although there is no assurance that positive returns will be realized. Investments are marked to market at each measurement date, with unrealized gains and losses, net of income taxes, presented as adjustments to accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. During fiscal 2019, we invested in the common stock of a public company that is listed on the Over-the-Counter market and is thinly traded.  This investment was subject to an independent valuation as of June 30, 2019.

Long-lived Assets

We review the recoverability of long-lived assets, consisting of equipment and leasehold improvements, when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate carrying values may not be recoverable.

30

PRO-DEX, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Equipment and leasehold improvements are recorded at historical cost and depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the following periods:

Equipment	Three to ten years
Leasehold improvements	Shorter of the lease term or the asset’s estimated useful life

Intangibles

Intangibles consist of legal fees incurred in connection with patent applications. Certain of our patent costs are being amortized over a period of seven years, the estimated life of the product that is currently utilizing the patented technology.  The remaining patent costs will be amortized over the estimated life of the product(s) that will be utilizing the technology, or expensed immediately in the event the patent office denies the issuance of the patent. The expense associated with the amortization of the patent costs is recognized in research and development costs.

Notes Receivable

Notes receivable are stated at unpaid principal balance and are subject to impairment losses.  Management considers a note impaired when either i) based upon current information or factors it is probable that the principal and interest payments will not be collected, or converted to equity, according to the terms of the secured convertible promissory note or ii) the fair market of the underlying collateral securing the note is less than the book value of the note receivable.

Income Taxes

We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of our assets and liabilities along with net operating losses and tax credit carryovers. Deferred tax assets at both June 30, 2019 and 2018 consisted primarily of basis differences related to research and development tax credit utilization,  accrued expenses, inventories and intangible assets.

Significant management judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes and the recoverability of deferred tax assets. Such determination is based on historical taxable income, with consideration given to estimates of future taxable income and the periods over which deferred tax assets will be recoverable. We record a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets to reduce the net carrying value to an amount that we believe is more likely than not to be realized. When we establish or reduce the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, the provision for income taxes will increase or decrease, respectively, in the period such determination is made.

Uncertain Tax Positions

We record uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740 on the basis of a two-step process whereby (1) we determine whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, we recognize the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.

Shipping and Handling

Payments from customers for shipping and handling are included in net sales. Shipping expenses, consisting primarily of payments made to freight companies, are included in cost of sales.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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, 2019 and 2018, and throughout the fiscal years then ended, we had deposits in excess of federally insured limits. Credit sales are made to original equipment manufacturers and resellers throughout the world, and sales to such customers account for a substantial portion of our trade receivables. While such receivables are not collateralized, we evaluate their collectability based on several factors including customers’ payment histories.

Compensation Plans

We recognize compensation expense for the share-based awards that vest subject to market conditions under ASC 718 Compensation-Stock Compensation by estimating their fair value using a Monte Carlo simulation.  The fair value using a Monte Carlo simulation model is affected by assumptions regarding a number of complex judgments including expected stock price volatility, risk free interest rates, and the forecasted future value and trading volume of our stock. The awards are considered granted for accounting purposes on the date the awards were approved by the Compensation Committee and we recognize compensation expense, based on the estimated fair value of the award, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Our operations are affected by numerous factors including market acceptance of our products, changes in technologies, and new laws, government regulations and policies. We cannot predict what impact, if any, the occurrence of these or other events might have on our operations. Significant estimates and assumptions made by management include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, share-based compensation, the allowance for doubtful accounts, accrued warranty expense, inventory valuation, the carrying value of long-lived assets, the recoverability of notes receivable and the recovery of deferred income tax assets.

Basic and Diluted Per Share Information

Basic per share amounts are computed on the basis of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period presented. Diluted per share amounts assume the issuance of all potential common stock equivalents, consisting of outstanding stock options and performance awards as discussed in Note 11, 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.

32

PRO-DEX, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Investments: Investments consist of marketable equity securities of publicly held companies.  As such, most of our investments are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. One of our marketable securities is an investment of common stock of a publicly traded company that is listed on the Over-the-Counter market and is thinly traded.  Due to the thinly traded nature of this stock it is classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.  The fair value of this investment was  based upon an independent valuation.

Notes receivable: This investment was classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy for purposes of evaluating potential impairment of these assets as of June 30, 2018.  The fair value of the notes receivable was based upon the cost basis of the investment as well as our internal assessment of the value of the underlying collateral.

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 $2,000 and $36,000 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Recent Accounting Standards

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, (Topic 842) Leases. The objective of this update is to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods and is to be applied utilizing a modified retrospective approach. However, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11 on July 30, 2018, which allows entities to apply the provisions of ASC 842 at the effective date without adjusting comparative periods. We have completed the assessment of our leases and we expect our July 1, 2019 adoption will lead to an approximate $3.3 million increase in the assets and liabilities recorded on our balance sheet.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Effective July 1, 2018, we adopted new revenue recognition guidance issued by the FASB related to contracts with customers.  Under ASU 2014-09, (Topic 606) “Revenue From Contracts with Customers,” we recognize revenue from the sales of products and services by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. We utilized the modified retrospective method of adoption and there was no impact on our financial statements as a result of adopting Topic 606 for the year ended June 30, 2019.  We primarily sell finished products and recognize revenue at point of sale or delivery and the timing of revenue recognition has not changed with the adoption of the new guidance.  However, we also perform services when we are engaged to design a product for a customer and there is more judgment involved in determining the amount and timing of revenue recognition under those types of contracts.  In order to disclose the amount of revenue related to these services, where more judgment is required, we have added “NRE & Prototypes” to our net sales table included under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of this report, which in our prior reports had been reflected in “Medical device and services”.

Reclassifications

We have reclassified our income taxes payable, which consists of uncertain tax positions, from current liabilities to non-current liabilities as prescribed by GAAP. This balance sheet reclassification had no impact on our net income.

Investments at June 30, 2019 and 2018 had an aggregate cost basis of $3,780,000 and $2,373,000, respectively. The long-term investments include an equity security purchased during the third quarter of fiscal 2019 that is thinly traded and therefore we classified the asset as long term in nature because even if we decide to sell the stock we may not be able to sell our position within one year. At June 30, 2019, the investments included gross unrealized losses of $549,000 and no unrealized gains. At June 30, 2018, the investments included net unrealized losses of $153,000 (gross unrealized losses of $196,000 offset by gross unrealized gains of $43,000).  

Of the total short-term marketable equity securities at June 30, 2019 and 2018, $938,000 and $285,000, respectively, represent an investment in the common and preferred 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.  The shares have been purchased through 10b5-1 Plans, which in accordance with our internal policies regarding the approval of related party transactions, was approved by our three Board members that are not affiliated with Air T, Inc.

INCOME TAXES

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) was enacted into law.  The new legislation represents a fundamental and dramatic shift in US taxation.  The new legislation contained several key tax provisions that impacted us including the reduction of the corporate income tax rate to 21% effective January 1, 2018.  The new legislation also included a variety of other changes including but not limited to a limitation on the deductibility of interest expense, acceleration of business asset expensing and reduction in the amount of executive pay that could qualify as a tax deduction. The provision for income taxes consists of the following amounts (in thousands):

Realization of our deferred tax assets is dependent upon future earnings, if any, the timing and amount of which are uncertain.  As of June 30, 2019, our deferred tax asset valuation allowance primarily consists of unrealized capital loss for investments held and the state net operating loss carryforwards for states in which we have filed a final return. For the year ended June 30, 2019, we recorded a net valuation allowance of $109,000, on the basis of management’s reassessment of the amount of our deferred tax assets that are more likely than not to be realized.

PRO-DEX, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of June 30, 2019, we did not have any net operating losses for federal and state income tax purposes for state jurisdictions in which we currently operate. We have no federal research and development and alternative minimum tax credit carry forwards at June 30, 2019. State tax research credit carry forwards at June 30, 2019 amount to $347,000, the majority of which do not expire.

As of June 30, 2019, we have accrued $490,000 of unrecognized tax benefits related to federal and state income tax matters that would reduce our income tax expense if recognized. If we are eventually able to recognize our uncertain tax positions, our effective tax rate would be reduced.  Any adjustment to our uncertain tax positions would result in an adjustment of our tax credit carryforwards rather than resulting in a cash outlay.

Information with respect to our accrual for unrecognized tax benefits is as follows (in thousands):

	June 30,
	2019		2018
Unrecognized tax benefits:
Beginning balance	$	462	$	446
Additions based on federal tax positions related to the current year		11		8
Additions based on state tax positions related to the current year		11		8
Additions for tax positions of prior years		6		—
Reductions for tax positions of prior years		—		—
Ending balance	$	490	$	462

Although it is reasonably possible that certain unrecognized tax benefits may increase or decrease within the next twelve months due to tax examinations, settlement activities, expirations of statute of limitations, or the impact on recognition and measurement considerations related to the results of published tax cases or other similar activities, we do not anticipate any significant changes to unrecognized tax benefits over the next twelve months.

We recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense when applicable. As of June 30, 2019, no interest or penalties applicable to our unrecognized tax benefits have been accrued since we have sufficient tax attributes available to fully offset any potential assessment of additional tax.

We are subject to U.S. federal income tax, as well as income tax of California and Colorado. We are currently open to audit under the statute of limitations by the Internal Revenue Service for the years ended June 30,

2016 and later.  However, because of net operating losses and research credit carryovers, substantially all of our tax years are open to audit.

NOTES RECEIVABLE

Loan Participation note receivable – short-term

On September 20, 2017 (the “Closing Date”), we entered into a Participation Agreement with FS Special Opportunities I, L.P., a Minnesota limited partnership (“Principal”), pursuant to which we paid Principal $1,150,000 in cash to purchase a 50% (“Participation Percentage”) undivided interest (the “Loan Participation”) in Principal’s $2,300,000 loan (the “Loan”) to 414 New York LLC, a New York limited liability company (“Borrower”). The Loan Participation constituted the purchase by us of a property interest in the Loan from Principal and did not create a creditor-debtor relationship between us and Borrower. Borrower used the proceeds from the Loan to acquire a leasehold interest in certain real estate operated as a hotel in Manhattan, New York.

38

PRO-DEX, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Pursuant to the loan agreement entered into on the Closing Date between Principal and Borrower, the Loan initially bore interest at a fixed rate of 22% per annum, with payments of all accrued and unpaid interest due monthly commencing on October 1, 2017 and on the first day of each month thereafter. If the principal balance of the Loan was not paid in full by September 30, 2018, commencing on October 1, 2018 and continuing on the first day of the next 83 months thereafter, Borrower would, in addition to the aforementioned monthly interest payments, pay installments of principal equal to 1/84^th of the principal balance outstanding under the Loan as of September 30, 2018. During the first quarter ended September 30, 2018, however, the Principal extended interest only payments to Borrower for an additional period of up to two months and continued to grant subsequent extensions. During the third quarter ended March 31, 2019, the Borrower repaid the loan in full.  Additionally, we received payments in the amount of $35,000 representing the value of warrants issued to us in conjunction with the loan extensions, recorded in other income in the statement of operations and comprehensive income.

Raymond E. Cabillot, a director of the Company, is the managing partner of Farnam Street Capital, Inc. (“Farnam”) and Farnam is the founding partner of the Principal. In accordance with our internal policies regarding the approval of related party transactions, the Loan Participation was approved by our four Board members that are not affiliated with Farnam.

Fineline note receivable

On May 23, 2018, we completed the sale of substantially all of the assets of Fineline, which was engaged in the manufacture of plastic injection molds serving customers in a variety of industries.  The aggregate purchase price was $310,000, of which $30,000 was paid in cash at closing and the balance of $280,000 was to be paid to us under the terms of a five-year promissory note, which bore interest at 4% per annum and required sixty equal monthly payments of principal and accrued interest in the amount of approximately $5,000 each, beginning February 15, 2019. We determined that there was uncertainty regarding the collectability of this note. Therefore, during fiscal 2018 we offset the gain on the sale of the division in the amount of approximately $211,000, against the impairment of the note receivable because we believed that the fair market value of the collateral securing the note was less than the face amount of the note. During the third quarter ended March 31, 2019, the loan fell into default.  During the fourth quarter ended June 30, 2019 we sold the collateral securing the loan for $75,000 cash, eliminated the note receivable balance and recorded approximately $10,000, the amount in excess of the note receivable balance, to other income in our statement of operations and comprehensive income.

NOTES PAYABLE AND FINANCING TRANSACTIONS

Minnesota Bank & Trust

On September 6, 2018, we entered into a Credit Agreement with Minnesota Bank & Trust, a Minnesota state banking corporation (“MBT”), providing for a $5,000,000 term loan (the “Term Loan”) as well as a $2,000,000 revolving loan (the “Revolving Loan” and together with the Term Loan, collectively the “Loans”), evidenced by a Term Note A and a Revolving Credit Note made by us in favor of MBT.  The Loans are secured by substantially all of our assets pursuant to a Security Agreement entered into on September 6, 2018 between us and MBT.  We paid loan origination fees to MBT in the amount of $60,000, which is being amortized to loan fees over the term of the underlying debt.

The Term Loan matures on October 1, 2025 and bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.53% per annum. An initial payment of interest only in the amount of $18,433 was paid on October 1, 2018. Commencing November 1, 2018 and continuing on the first day of each subsequent month thereafter until the maturity date, we are required to make payments of principal and interest on the Term Loan of approximately $72,000, plus any additional accrued and unpaid interest through the date of payment.  The balance owed on the Term Loan at June 30, 2019 is $4.6 million. The Revolving Loan matures on September 6, 2019 unless earlier terminated pursuant to its terms and bears interest at the greater of (a) 4.5% or (b) the difference of the prime rate as published in the Money Rates section of the Wall Street Journal minus 0.50%. Commencing on the first day of each month after we initially borrow against the Revolving Loan, which we have yet to do, and each month thereafter until maturity, we are required to pay all accrued and unpaid interest on the Revolving Loan through the date of payment. Any principal on the Revolving Loan that is not previously prepaid shall be due and payable on the maturity date (or earlier termination of the Revolving Loan).

Any payment on the Loans not made within seven days after the due date is subject to a late payment fee equal to 5% of the overdue amount.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default, the interest rate of both Loans will be increased by 3% and MBT may, at its option, declare the Loans immediately due and payable in full.

The Credit Agreement and Security Agreement contain representations and warranties, affirmative, negative and financial covenants, and events of default that are customary for loans of this type.

Farmers & Merchants Bank of Long Beach

On April 19, 2017, we entered into a Business Loan Agreement, dated effective March 28, 2017, with Farmers & Merchants Bank of Long Beach (“FMB”), providing for a $500,000 revolving loan facility (the “Revolving Loan Facility”).  The Revolving Loan Facility was secured by substantially all of our assets and bore interest at prime plus 2 percent and matured on March 28, 2018.  During the initial loan period, we did not borrow any funds.  As disclosed in a Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 17, 2018, we entered into a Change in Terms Agreement and an Amendment #1 to Business Loan Agreement, each dated effective April 6, 2018, which extended the maturity date of the Revolving Loan Facility to March 28, 2019. This loan was terminated by us on September 4, 2018 in conjunction with the MBT Loans described above.

Jules & Associates/Hitachi Capital America Corporation

On July 21, 2016, we entered a master equipment lease agreement with Jules and Associates, Inc. to lease a specific machine used in our inspection process.  The cost of the equipment was approximately $106,000 and the lease provides for 36 monthly payments in the amount of $3,121, as well as interim rent in the amount of $7,388.  The lease was subsequently assigned to Hitachi Capital America Corporation. The balance owed on the lease as of June 30, 2019 is approximately $6,000.

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 Pro-Dex matching contributions of 25% of their contributions up to 5% of eligible compensation. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, we recognized compensation expense amounting to $42,000 and $54,000, respectively, in connection with the 401(k) Plan. During our fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, we used approximately $16,000 of forfeited match contributions to reduce our match expense.

Legal Matters

We are from time to time a party to various legal proceedings incidental to our business. There can be no certainty, however, that we may not ultimately incur liability or that such liability will not be material and adverse.

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.

In September 2016, our Board approved the establishment of the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan, which was approved by our shareholders at the November 29, 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 June 30, 2019, 200,000 performance awards have been granted under the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan.

Stock Options

There were no stock options granted during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.  As of June 30, 2019, there was no unrecognized compensation cost under the Former Stock Option Plans as all outstanding stock options are fully vested. The intrinsic value of stock options outstanding and exercisable at June 30, 2019 was approximately $600,000.

The following is a summary of stock option activity under the stock option plans for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018:

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. We recorded share-based compensation expense of $33,000 and $187,000 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, related to these performance awards. On June 30, 2019, there was approximately $67,000 of unrecognized compensation cost related to these non-vested performance awards expected to be expensed over the weighted-average period of 3.88 years.

On July 1, 2018, it was determined by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors that the first of five tranches of the performance awards had been achieved and participants were awarded 40,000 shares of common stock.  Each participant elected a net issuance to cover their individual withholding taxes and therefore the Company issued 24,727 shares.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In September 2014, our Board approved the establishment of an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”).  The ESPP conforms to the provisions of Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code, has coterminous offering and purchase periods of six months, and bases the pricing to purchase shares of our common stock on a formula so as to result in a per share purchase price that approximates a 15% discount from the market price of a share of our common stock at the end of the purchase period.  Our Board of Directors also approved the provision that shares formerly reserved for issuance under the Former Stock Option Plans in excess of shares issuable pursuant to outstanding options, aggregating 704,715 shares, be reserved for issuance pursuant to the ESPP.  The ESPP was approved by our shareholders at the December 3, 2014 Annual Meeting. On February 2, 2015, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-8 registering the 704,715 shares issuable under the ESPP under the Securities Act of 1933.

During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, shares totaling 2,743 and 6,733, respectively, were purchased pursuant to the ESPP and allocated to participating employees based upon their contributions at weighted average prices of $8.02 and $5.60, respectively.  On a cumulative basis, since the inception of the ESPP, employees have purchased a total of 18,866 shares.  During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, we recorded stock compensation expense in the amount of $4,000 and $7,000, respectively, relating to the ESPP.

 COMMON STOCK

Share Repurchase Program

In September 2013, our Board approved a share repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase up to 750,000 shares of our common stock.  In accordance with, and as part of, this share repurchase program, our Board has approved the adoption of several prearranged share repurchase plans intended to qualify for the safe harbor Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“10b5-1 Plan” or “Plan”). During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, we repurchased 33,026 shares at an aggregate cost, inclusive of fees under the Plan, of $220,000. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, we repurchased 322,068 shares at an aggregate cost, inclusive of fees under the Plan, of $4.0 million. On a cumulative basis, we have repurchased a total of 588,051 shares under the share repurchase program at an aggregate cost, inclusive of fess under the Plan, of $5.1 million.  All repurchases under the 10b5-1 Plans were administered through an independent broker.

At The Market Offering Agreement

In February 2017, our Board approved an ATM Agreement with Ascendiant Capital Markets, LLC (“Ascendiant”).  The ATM Agreement allows us to sell shares of our common stock pursuant to specific parameters defined by us as well as those defined by the SEC and the ATM Agreement.  During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, we sold 8,276 shares of common stock at average prices of $6.04 and raised net proceeds of $48,000.  The proceeds collected were accounted for as a reduction of the prepaid expenses relating to establishing the ATM.  During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, during periods when we did not have a 10b5-1 Plan in place, we sold 332,189 shares of common stock under the ATM at average prices of $7.02 per share, resulting in proceeds to us of $2.3 million, net of commissions and fees. From the inception of the ATM in February 2017 through December 31, 2017, we sold 340,465 shares of common stock for gross proceeds of $2,311,000 net of commissions and fees paid to Ascendiant totaling $72,000.  In December 2017, our Board suspended the ATM indefinitely.  Our Board has the discretion to reactivate the ATM prior to February 16, 2020, the expiration of the ATM Agreement, unless earlier terminated by Ascendiant or us.

ITEM 9A.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer our principal financial officer and principal accounting officer) have concluded, based on their evaluation as of June 30, 2019, that 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”)) are effective at a reasonable assurance level to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, including to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate “internal control over financial reporting” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, and principal accounting officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework set forth in the 2013 Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in May 2013. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of June 30, 2019.

Our internal control over financial reporting is supported by written policies and procedures that:

(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

(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 our Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and

(3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

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.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that apply to smaller reporting companies that permit us to provide only management’s attestation in this annual report.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2019, there were no changes in the Company’s 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, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
