NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Pro-Dex, Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our”, “Pro-Dex” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-K. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2014.

Recent Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers," which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. ASU 2014-09 requires an entity to recognize revenue depicting the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 also requires enhanced revenue related disclosures. ASU 2014-09 is effective for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. In April 2015, the FASB voted for a one-year deferral of the effective date of ASU 2014-09. If approved, the new guidance will be effective for annual and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2017. The Company has not yet determined the impact of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, “Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs” to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs. The amendments in this accounting standard update require debt issuance costs be presented on the balance sheet as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability. The amendments in this accounting standard update are to be applied retrospectively and are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. We do not expect the adoption of this accounting standard update to have a material impact on our balance sheet.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. The reclassifications have no effect on previously reported results of operations or accumulated deficit.

NOTE 2. BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

During the nine months ended March 31, 2015, we completed two acquisitions. On December 1, 2014, we completed the acquisition of Huber Precision (“Huber”), a manufacturer of machined parts, primarily for the oil and electronics industry. The aggregate purchase price paid was $209,000. On February 1, 2015, we completed the acquisition of Fineline Molds (“Fineline”), a manufacturer of plastic injection molds for a variety of industries. The aggregate purchase price was $757,000, of which $657,000 was paid in cash at closing and $100,000 of which is to be paid by the Company under the terms of a four-year promissory note issued to Fineline at closing, which bears interest at 4% per annum and requires sixteen equal quarterly payments of principal and accrued interest in the amount on $6,794.46 each. The note is secured by all of the assets acquired by us from Fineline.

(UNAUDITED)

The following summarizes the consideration paid and the estimated fair values of the assets acquired for each acquisition as of the respective acquisition date (in thousands):

The acquisitions were completed to support expansion of the business and broaden the Company’s customer base. We have accounted for these acquisitions as business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting. This method requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date.  There were no liabilities assumed as part of either the Huber or Fineline acquisitions.  Pro forma historical results of operations related to both acquisitions during the period prior to the acquisition date have not been presented because they are not material to our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).  The results of operations related to the businesses acquired have been included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations since the date of acquisition, respectively. The fair value determination of assets and liabilities recorded are those of management.

Investments

During the quarter ended March 31, 2015, we liquidated our investment portfolio to fund our working capital requirements, especially our inventory requirements, as we prepare to launch production of two new products. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015, we sold certain of our investments in marketable equity securities of publicly held companies and recorded realized gains of $395,000 and $455,000, respectively.

Our investments at June 30, 2014 amounted to $1,058,000 which represented an aggregate cost basis of $857,000, gross unrealized gains aggregating $209,000 and unrealized losses of $7,000.

Intangibles

Intangibles consist of the following (in thousands):

Capitalized software development costs relate to internally developed software, which will be amortized over the estimated product life of the underlying product currently in development. Both the covenant not to compete and the customer list and backlog relate to assets acquired in conjunction with the business acquisitions more fully described in Note 2 above and will be amortized over various periods not to exceed ten years. The trade name relates exclusively to Fineline Molds and has an indefinite life, subject to impairment loss consideration if certain conditions exist. Patent-related costs consist of legal fees incurred in connection with patent applications, and will be amortized over the life of the applicable patent upon its issuance, or expensed immediately in the event the patent office denies the issuance of the patent.

NOTE 4. WARRANTY

The warranty accrual is based on historical costs of warranty repairs and expected future identifiable warranty expenses, and is included in accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014, the warranty reserve amounted to $393,000 and $237,000, respectively. Warranty expenses are included in cost of sales in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Changes in estimates to previously established warranty accruals result from current period updates to assumptions regarding repair costs and warranty return rates, and are included in current period warranty expense. Warranty expense relating to new product sales and changes to estimates for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $103,000 and $53,000, respectively, and for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $253,000 and $81,000, respectively.

Information regarding the accrual for warranty costs for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 are as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 5. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

The Company calculates basic net earnings (loss) per share by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the effects of potentially dilutive securities, which consist entirely of outstanding stock options.

Potential common shares of 22,195 and 38,771, respectively, have been excluded from diluted weighted average common shares for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, as the effect would have been anti-dilutive. Similarly, potential common shares of 22,789 and 25,648, respectively, have been excluded from diluted weighted average common shares for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, as the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

In the tables below, income (loss) amounts represent the numerator, and share amounts represent the denominator (in thousands, except per share amounts):

NOTE 6. NOTES RECEIVABLE & VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY CONSIDERATIONS

In November 2014, the Company purchased two promissory notes through a Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement in the amount of $1.2 million. The promissory notes are cross-collateralized and secured by (collectively, the “Collateral”), among other things, real property consisting of 2.3 acres of land and an approximate 30,000 square foot industrial building and a security interest in substantially all of the assets of Riverside Manufacturing, Inc. (“Riverside”) (consisting primarily of machine shop equipment and accounts receivable).

The notes are recorded at their purchase price and since the notes remain in default, they have been placed on nonaccrual status, and therefore, the Company has not collected or recognized any interest income since the date of purchase. Additionally, due to uncertainties relating to future cash flows projected to be received on the notes, no accretable yield has been recorded.

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we entered into forbearance agreements with Riverside whereby we have agreed to forbear from enforcing our rights under the promissory notes until July 31, 2015. Additionally, we entered into a revolving loan agreement, whereby we have agreed to advance Riverside from time-to-time up to an aggregate amount of $200,000 at any time prior to July 31, 2015. Through March 31, 2015, we have advanced $96,270 to Riverside and Riverside has repaid $65,686.

As of March 31, 2015, the Company has evaluated whether or not the investments in Riverside create a variable interest entity (“VIE”) requiring consolidation. VIEs are legal entities in which the equity investors do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to independently finance its activities or the collective holders do not have the power through voting or similar rights to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact its

PRO-DEX, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

economic performance, the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity, or the right to receive expected residual returns of the entity. Consolidation of a VIE is considered appropriate if a reporting entity is the primary beneficiary, the party that has both significant influence and control over the VIE. Management performed a qualitative analysis to determine if the Company is the primary beneficiary of Riverside. The Company performed a VIE analysis including a review of Riverside’s capital structure, contractual terms, and primary activities, including the Company’s ability to direct the activities of Riverside and its obligations to absorb losses, or the right to receive benefits, significant to Riverside. The Company has determined that Riverside’s debt represented by the two promissory notes and the revolving loan constitute the majority of its financial support and continuing support for its ongoing operations, and that the equity investment at risk in Riverside was insufficient to permit financing of activities without additional financial support from the Company. Accordingly, it was determined that the Company has a variable interest in Riverside and Riverside is a variable interest entity of the Company. Based on the Company’s analysis as of March 31, 2015, however, it was determined that the Company is not the primary beneficiary of Riverside because the sole shareholder of Riverside has retained the day to day management and control over all key economic decisions of the Riverside business and the Company has no authority as the primary creditor of Riverside to affect any of these management decisions nor does the Company have any obligation to absorb Riverside’s losses or the right to receive any benefits from Riverside.

Our total investment in Riverside as of March 31, 2015 is represented by the $1,236,000 notes receivable on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.  Our maximum investment at risk, should Riverside remain in default on the notes and borrow fully on the revolving loan agreement, coupled with our inability to foreclose on the Collateral, would be $1,405,000.  During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015 we have provided no support, financial or otherwise, to Riverside other than as contractually required by the revolving loan agreement.  The payments we have advanced to Riverside under the revolving loan agreement have generally been made to fund Riverside’s ongoing working capital needs. Riverside is a contract manufacturer providing services to the aerospace, commercial airline, transportation and defense-related sectors and its unaudited revenues for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 totaled $1.9 million. The Company acquired the notes to achieve a return on capital upon liquidation or operation of the Riverside assets.  The Company entered into the forbearance agreements with Riverside to allow further time for Riverside to improve its financial performance and for the Company to evaluate those results prior to liquidating the investment.

NOTE 7. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND REAL ESTATE HELD FOR SALE

In February 2012, we completed the sale of our fractional horsepower motor product line, operating under the name Pro-Dex Astromec (“Astromec”), located in Carson City, Nevada, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “APA”).

Under the terms of the APA, we received earnout payments based on revenues generated from the sale of certain products as defined in the APA. Such earnout payments, if and when earned, were paid to us within 30 days following the end of each of our fiscal quarters during the three years subsequent to the February 2012 closing date, and amount to 6%, 4% and 2% of the eligible sales in the first, second and third such years, respectively. The earnout payments were recognized in the quarter in which we became entitled to receive them. We recognized income from earnout payments of $11,000 and $33,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $53,000 and $103,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. We have recognized an aggregate of $404,000 in income from such earnout payments since the February 2012 closing date.

In addition, as a result of the sale of the Astromec product line, we listed for sale the land and building constituting the facility in Carson City, Nevada, which was presented as real estate held for sale in the June 30, 2013 consolidated balance sheet with an aggregate carrying amount of $733,000. On July 5, 2013, we completed the sale of the Carson City facility. The sales price of the property was $980,000, of which we received net proceeds of $900,000, after deductions for expenses related to the sale, primarily consisting of broker commissions and fees, aggregating approximately $80,000, resulting in a gain of $167,000.

Based on the foregoing, and in conformity with applicable accounting guidance, the Astromec product line qualifies as a discontinued operation. Accordingly, financial results of Astromec have been reported as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented. Information regarding revenue and operating results of Astromec included in discontinued operations is as follows (in thousands):

We do not expect to receive any future revenue or incur any future expenses related to the sale of Astromec.

NOTE 8. INCOME TAXES

Deferred income taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

Significant management judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes and the recoverability of our deferred tax assets. Such determination is based primarily on our historical taxable income or loss, with some consideration given to our estimates of future taxable income or loss by jurisdictions in which we operate and the period over which our deferred tax assets would be recoverable. Due to cumulative taxable losses during the past three years, we maintained a valuation allowance of $3.9 million against our deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2015.

As of March 31, 2015, we have accrued $398,000 of unrecognized tax benefits related to federal and state income tax matters. None of this balance is expected to reduce the Company’s income tax expense if recognized.

PRO-DEX, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows (in thousands):

We recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits when applicable. As of March 31, 2015, 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.

Pro-Dex and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax, as well as income tax of multiple state tax jurisdictions. We are currently open to audit under the statute of limitations by the Internal Revenue Service for the years ended June 30, 2012 and later. Our state income tax returns are open to audit under the statute of limitations for the years ended June 30, 2011 and later. We do not anticipate a significant change to the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.

NOTE 9. 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 approved, on September 23, 2014, the adoption of a prearranged share repurchase plan intended to qualify for the safe harbor under Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“10b5-1 Plan”). The 10b5-1 Plan became effective on September 24, 2014 and terminated on March 23, 2015. Through March 23, 2015, we repurchased 69,773 shares at an aggregate cost of $154,000, inclusive of fees, under the terms of the 10b5-1 Plan. Repurchases under the 10b5-1 Plan were administered through an independent broker.

NOTE 10. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

As discussed further below, until June 2014 we had two equity compensation plans, the Second Amended and Restated 2004 Stock Option Plan (the “Employee Stock Option Plan”) and the Amended and Restated 2004 Directors’ Stock Option Plan (the “Directors’ Stock Option Plan”) (collectively, the “Stock Option Plans”), pursuant to which (i) options to purchase shares of common stock, or (ii) restricted shares of common stock, could be granted up to an aggregate amount of 1,333,333 common shares, with 1,066,667 and 266,666 shares distributed between the Employee Stock Option Plan and the Directors’ Stock Option Plan, respectively. The Stock Option Plans were substantially similar, providing for a strike price equal to the closing price for a share of our common stock as of the last business day immediately prior to the grant date, vesting periods as determined by the Board for the Employee Stock Option Plan and six months for the Directors’ Stock Option Plan, and terms of up to ten years, subject to forfeit 30 days after the holder ceases to be an employee or 90 days after the holder ceases to be a director, as the case may be. Share-based compensation expense under the Stock Option Plans for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $3,000 and $10,000, respectively, and for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $14,000 and $42,000, respectively.

PRO-DEX, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

Stock Options

As of March 31, 2015, there was an aggregate of $2,000 of unrecognized compensation cost under the Stock Option Plans related to 5,000 non-vested outstanding stock options with a per share weighted average value of $1.73. The unrecognized expense is anticipated to be recognized on a straight-line basis over a weighted average period of 5.3 months. Following is a summary of stock option activity for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014:

No options were granted during the three or nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

Following is a summary of information regarding options outstanding and options exercisable at March 31, 2015:

In June 2014, our Board of Directors terminated the Employee Stock Option Plan, with the provision that options outstanding under the Employee Stock Option Plan will remain outstanding in accordance with their respective terms. At the date of termination, 531,381 shares were reserved for issuance under the Employee Stock Option Plan in excess of shares issuable pursuant to outstanding options, all of which shares will be available for issuance under the provisions of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan described below.

In September 2014, our Board approved the inclusion in our proxy statement for approval by our shareholders at the 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders its recommendation to terminate the Directors’ Stock Option Plan, which proposal was approved by our shareholders at the December 3, 2014 Annual Meeting. At September 30, 2014, 173,334 shares were reserved for issuance under the Directors’ Stock Option Plan, all of which will be available for issuance under the provisions of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan described below.

PRO-DEX, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Also 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. The Board of Directors also approved the provision that shares formerly reserved for issuance under the Employee Stock Option Plan and the Directors’ Stock Option Plan 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.

Restricted Stock

The following is a summary of restricted share activity for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014:

As of March 31, 2015, there was $3,000 in unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested outstanding restricted shares. The unrecognized expense is anticipated to be amortized over the next 5.3 months.

NOTE 11. MAJOR CUSTOMERS

For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company had one customer with sales totaling 48 percent and 50 percent, respectively, of total sales. During the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 that same customer accounted for 54 percent and 47 percent, respectively, of total sales of the Company.

Accounts receivable at March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014, from that same significant customer, amounted to 37 percent and 53 percent of total gross accounts receivable.

NOTE 12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Matters

In general, we are from time to time a party to various legal proceedings incidental to our business, none of which we currently consider to be material. There can be no certainty, however, that we may not ultimately incur liability or that such liability will not be material and adverse.

NOTE 13. 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

PRO-DEX, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

a three-tier hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents is considered to be representative of their fair values based on the short term nature of these instruments. As such, cash and cash equivalents are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.

Investments: Investments at June 30, 2014 consisted of marketable equity securities of publicly held companies. As such, investments were classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.

Notes Receivable: Notes receivable are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy for purposes of evaluating potential impairment of these assets. The fair value of the notes receivable is based upon the valuation of a third party appraisal of the building and equipment which is security for the notes less estimates of outstanding property tax liens and other liquidation costs.

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 the valuation methods are appropriate.

NOTE 14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

As previously disclosed, on November 21, 2014 Pro-Dex Sunfish Lake LLC (“PDSL”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Pro-Dex, Inc. acquired two promissory notes through a Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement in the amount of $1.2 million (see Note 6). On May 7, 2015, the Company executed a Deed and Settlement Agreement (the “Agreement”) between and among Sheldon A. Mayer, LLC (“Borrower”), Sheldon Mayer, (“Guarantor”) and PDSL, as reported in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 13, 2015. The agreement contemplates that in exchange for recharacterization of $1.0 million of the of the debt, consisting of one of the promissory notes discussed above, to be re-classified as non-recourse debt, Borrower shall execute and deliver to PDSL a deed to convey the real property consisting of 2.3 acres of land and an approximate 30,000 square foot building. The Agreement provides that Borrower shall transfer all receivables of any type, including, but not limited to, all rent owing on account of any occupancy by Riverside or any other tenant of the Property to PDSL. The Agreement also contains certain representations, warranties, indemnifications and covenants of the parties customary for transactions of this type. The Company is currently evaluating whether the transaction described above should be treated as a VIE reconsideration event.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes and other financial information appearing elsewhere in this report.

COMPANY OVERVIEW

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated results of operation presented in this report are not audited and are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entirety of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2015 or any other interim period during such fiscal year. Our fiscal year ends on June 30 and our fiscal quarters end on September 30, December 31, and March 31. Unless otherwise stated, all dates refer to our fiscal year and those fiscal quarters.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“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.

An accounting policy is deemed to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, and if different estimates that reasonably could have been used or changes in the accounting estimate that are reasonably likely to occur could materially change the financial statements. Management believes that other than those listed below, there have been no significant changes during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015 to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue on product sales is recognized upon shipment to the customer when risk of loss and title transfer to the customer and all other conditions required by GAAP, as promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Section 605 (formerly Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition), have been satisfied.

Revenue from billable product development service portions of development and supply contracts is generally recognized upon completion of such product development services, in conformity with ASC Section 605. Accordingly, revenue from product development milestone billings to our customers under such contracts is deferred.

Revenue from our Fineline Molds division, acquired on February 1, 2015, is recognized on a completed contract basis based upon estimated labor hours to complete each on-going job. As of March 31, 2015, revenue accrued on a completed contract basis totaled approximately $70,000.

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

Notes Receivable

The notes receivable (as further described in Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this report) are accounted for under ASC Section 310-30 “Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality.” The notes are recorded at their purchase price and since the notes remain in default, they are considered impaired and have been placed on nonaccrual status, meaning there is no accrual for interest earnings. No interest has been collected or recognized since the date of purchase. Due to uncertainties relating to future cash flows projected to be received on the notes, no accretable yield has been recorded.

The notes are considered impaired because we do not believe the contractual payments will be collected pursuant to contract terms. Accordingly, the recorded investment is reflected at the lesser of the purchase price or the estimated fair value of the collateral (with appropriate reductions for estimated disposal costs). No further impairment losses have been recorded through March 31, 2015.

Goodwill & Intangibles

We recorded $353,000 of goodwill and $54,000 of trade name in conjunction with the asset purchase of Fineline. Accordingly, subsequent to the measurement period described below under business combinations, we will assess potential impairment of goodwill and trade name annually. Intangibles consist of legal fees incurred in connection with patent applications, capitalized software development costs, covenant not to compete, trade name, and customer lists including backlog. The legal fees will be amortized over the life of the applicable patent upon its issuance and the capitalized software development costs will be amortized over the estimated product life of the underlying product currently in development. The covenant not to compete and customer list including backlog relate to assets acquired in conjunction with the purchase of Huber Precision and Fineline Molds and will be amortized over their estimated useful lives.

Variable Interest Entities

The Company has an investment that is considered a variable interest entity (“VIE”) under GAAP. VIEs are legal entities in which the equity investors do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to independently finance its activities or the collective holders do not have the power through voting or similar rights to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact its economic performance, the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity, or the right to receive expected residual returns of the entity. Consolidation of a VIE is considered appropriate if a reporting entity is the primary beneficiary, the party that has both significant influence and control over the VIE. Management periodically performs a qualitative analysis to determine if the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. This analysis includes review of the VIE’s capital structure, contractual terms, and primary activities, including the Company’s ability to direct the activities of the VIE and obligations to absorb losses, or the right to receive benefits, significant to the VIE. Additionally, changes in our investments may result in a reconsideration event that may necessitate consolidation in the future.

Business Combinations

We allocate the fair value of purchase consideration to the tangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed and intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Such valuations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Significant estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows, useful lives and discount rates. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. During the measurement period, which is one year from the acquisition date, we may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to earnings.

Business Strategy and Future Plans

Our business today is almost entirely driven by sales of our medical products and related repair services to our largest customer (accounting for 54% of our fiscal 2015 year-to-date revenue), and we continue to focus a significant percentage of our time and resources on providing outstanding products and service to our valued principal customer.

Simultaneously, we are working to build top-line sales through active proposals of new medical device products with new and existing customers, and anticipate completing two on-going engineering projects during fiscal 2015, which will allow us to realize previously deferred revenue recorded on these projects as well as potential new product sales later in fiscal 2015. In that regard, we shipped approximately $400,000 of product in our third quarter that relates to an ongoing collaboration of efforts with a customer’s unique surgical handpiece designed to be used in orthopedic surgery applications. We anticipate future orders from this customer as well. Additionally, we are seeking additional revenue streams by offering our engineering, manufacturing and quality systems services to other customers in diverse industries, through our Engineering Services Division (“ESD”). As previously announced, we opened headquarters for ESD in Troy, Michigan and have assembled a talented team of recruiters and sales people both in our Irvine and Troy locations to generate top-line growth.

During the first nine months of this fiscal year we acquired two businesses, Huber Precision, which manufactures machined parts for the auto and electronics industries, and Fineline Molds, which manufactures plastic injection molds for companies in a wide variety of industries. We believe these acquisitions will allow us to diversify our product offerings and eventually increase the utilization of our machine and assembly departments.

In addition, during the second quarter of this fiscal year we invested $1.2 million in notes receivable secured by real property and business assets of Riverside Manufacturing, Inc. (“Riverside”) a company located in Ramsey, Minnesota that provides contract manufacturing services to the commercial airline, aerospace, and defense-related sectors. During the third quarter we entered into forbearance agreements whereby we have agreed to forbear from enforcing our rights pursuant to the notes until July 31, 2015. Additionally, we entered into a revolving loan agreement, whereby we have agreed to advance Riverside from time-to-time up to an aggregate amount of $200,000 at any time prior to July 31, 2015. We continue to evaluate our options relating to this investment, which include a complete sale or liquidation to satisfy the claims of the notes, a refinancing or restructuring or an acquisition of the business.

In summary, our current objectives are focused primarily on maintaining our relationship with our current largest customer, expanding our business with new product launches and services related to our areas of expertise, and successfully integrating recent acquisitions that will further diversify our product portfolio while increasing our manufacturing efficiency. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in any of these objectives.

Description of Business Operations

Revenue

The majority of our revenue is derived from designing, developing and manufacturing surgical devices for the medical device and dental industries and motion control software and hardware for industrial and scientific applications. The proportion of total sales by customer type is as follows (in thousands, except percentages):

Certain of our medical device products utilize proprietary designs developed by us under exclusive development and supply agreements. All of our medical device products utilize proprietary manufacturing methods and know-how, and are manufactured in our Irvine, California facility, as are our dental products, which are sold primarily to original equipment manufacturers and dental product distributors. We design and manufacture embedded multi-axis motion controllers in our facility in Beaverton, Oregon.

Shipments to our largest customer, accounted for in medical device revenue, increased approximately $726,000 and $1.5 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015 from their corresponding periods in 2014. The increase in the current year sales to our largest customer compared to the prior year was due in part to a five month suspension of shipments on orders that occurred during the nine months ended March 31, 2014. No similar suspension of orders occurred during the current fiscal year, nor are we aware of any likely suspensions in the future. Sales to another medical device customer increased by approximately $321,000 and $299,000, respectively, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014. We anticipate additional orders and continued revenue from this customer in the future.

At March, 2015, we had a backlog of approximately $9.7 million. We may experience variability in our new order bookings due to various reasons, including, but not limited to, the timing of major new product launches

and customer planned inventory builds. However, we do not typically experience seasonal fluctuations in our shipments and revenues.

Total sales by division/location is as follows (in thousands, except percentages):

Cost of Sales and Gross Margin
(in thousands except percentages)

Cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2015 increased $1.0 million or 54 percent compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. The increase in product cost is consistent with the 63 percent increase in revenue from the third quarter of fiscal 2015 compared to the third quarter of 2014. Also included in product cost was an accrual of $82,000 for anticipated losses from development services portion of certain contracts in the third quarter of fiscal 2015 compared to $47,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2014. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company had over-absorbed manufacturing expenses of $217,000 compared to under-absorbed manufacturing costs of $120,000 during the corresponding period of the prior year due primarily to increased manufacturing volume in 2015. Costs relating to inventory and warranty charges remained flat for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 compared to the third quarter of the prior fiscal year.

Gross profit increased by approximately $505,000 or 94 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year, primarily as a result of the increase in revenue discussed above. Gross margin as a percentage of sales increased by approximately 5 percentage points compared to

the corresponding period of the prior year due primarily to the effects of the increased revenue and over-absorption of manufacturing costs discussed above.

Cost of sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 increased by $1.2 million or 21 percent compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year, primarily due to the 23 percent increase in revenue during the same period, the reasons for which are discussed above. Additionally, product cost for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 includes an accrual of approximately $223,000 and $278,000, respectively, relating to estimated contract losses for certain engineering development projects that are on-going, for which we have not yet recognized revenue. Additionally, due to increased manufacturing volume during fiscal 2015 we had over-absorbed manufacturing costs of $113,000 during the nine months ended March 31, 2015 compared to under-absorbed manufacturing costs of 282,000 for the comparable period of the prior fiscal year. Finally, cost of sales reflects an increase of $148,000 in inventory and warranty charges. The warranty accrual estimate, although based upon a number of factors, generally increases in periods of higher sales revenue.

Gross profit increased by approximately $534,000 or 26 percent for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year, primarily as a result of the increase in revenue discussed above. Gross margin increased by approximately 1 percentage point, compared to the corresponding period of the prior year, due to the effects of the increased revenue and over-absorption of manufacturing costs discussed above.

Operating Expenses

Operating Costs and Expenses
(in thousands except % change)

Selling expenses consist of salaries and other personnel-related expenses for our business development departments as well as trade show attendance, advertising and marketing expenses, and travel and related costs incurred in generating and maintaining our customer relationships. During fiscal 2015, we have added discreet departments to separately account for selling expenses of our newly acquired businesses as well as our engineering services division.

Selling Expenses by location/division
(in thousands except % of total)

In the second quarter of the current fiscal year, we launched our engineering services division (“ESD”) to recruit and place contract personnel in engineering, manufacturing and other technical consulting services. This division includes a team of sales and recruiting staff in our Irvine, California and Troy, Michigan offices. Additionally, as discussed in Note 2 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this report, we acquired both Fineline and Huber during this fiscal year. We are monitoring the contribution margin of each of these three business endeavors closely to ensure the business investment returns are as expected. Selling expenses for Pro-Dex Irvine during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015 decreased $66,000, or 49 percent, and $62,000, or 20 percent, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods of fiscal 2014. The reductions mostly relate to reductions in personnel costs and trade show costs associated with the sales of our medical, dental and industrial revenue generating activities.

General and administrative expenses (“G&A”) consists of salaries and other personnel-related expenses of our accounting, finance and human resource personnel, professional fees, directors’ fees, and other costs and expenses attributable to being a public company. G&A increased by $172,000 and $238,000, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015, respectively, when compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year. These increases during fiscal 2015 primarily relate to increased legal and professional fees, commercial insurance and severance payments made to our former Chief Executive Officer. Legal expenses relating to intellectual property matters increased approximately $24,000 during the nine months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the corresponding period of the prior year. Other legal and professional expenses increased approximately $102,000 and $150,000, respectively, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year. Approximately $63,000 and $86,000, of fees incurred during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015 relate to expenses incurred in connection with our investments in the Riverside promissory notes and related agreements.

In the current fiscal year we also incurred legal fees relating to services provided in conjunction with our two business acquisitions, the filing our Form S-8 related to our ESPP Plan and legal expenses associated with the separation agreement of our former Chief Executive Officer. Our commercial insurance expense increased approximately $8,000 and $12,000, respectively, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year primarily dues to increases in our directors and officers insurance premiums. During both the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015, severance costs increased by $31,000 compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year due to the separation of our former Chief Executive Officer. Our tax, Sarbanes-Oxley and other consulting expense increased approximately $23,000 and $26,000, respectively, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year primarily due to timing of annual engagements as well as additional services.

Research and development costs generally consist of salaries, employer paid benefits, and other personnel related costs of our engineering and support personnel, as well as allocated facility and information technology costs, professional and consulting fees, patent-related fees, lab costs, materials, and travel and related costs incurred

in the development and support of our products. Research and development costs for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014 increased by $99,000, or 26 percent, and by $188,000, or 17 percent, respectively, compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year due primarily to the launch of an engineering battery development project to enable us to manufacture batteries for our powered surgical devices in-house as well as additional consulting expenses.

Interest Expense

Interest expense consists primarily of interest expense related to capital lease obligations for leased office equipment, and decreased slightly for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015 when compared to corresponding periods in 2014.

Realized Gain on Sale of Investments

During the quarter ended March 31, 2015, we liquidated our investment portfolio to fund our working capital requirements. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015, we sold certain of our investments in marketable equity securities of publicly held companies and recorded realized gains of $395,000 and $455,000, respectively.

During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014, we sold certain of our investments in marketable equity securities of publicly held companies and recorded realized gains of $27,000 in each period.

Income Tax Benefit

The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 are lower than statutory tax rates due to our inability to fully recognize the benefits of federal and state loss carryforwards prior to their utilization. (See Note 8 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this report.)

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2015 decreased $1.7 million to $1.5 million as compared to $3.2 million at June 30, 2014. The following table includes a summary of our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows contained elsewhere in this report.

Operating Activities

Cash used in operating activities was $438,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 primarily resulting from our net loss of $438,000, gains on the sale of investments of $455,000, an increase in inventory of

$839,000 as we prepare to launch two new products, and an increase in accounts receivable and unbilled receivables of $313,000 and $324,000, respectively. Additionally, prepaid expenses and other assets increased by $83,000 and income taxes payable decreased by $53,000. These uses of cash are partially offset by an increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses and deferred rent of $1.4 million, mostly due to inventory purchases and increased accruals for warranty and deferred revenue of $298,000 relating to contractual payments made to us by customers in advance of our ability to recognize such payments as revenue and non-cash depreciation and amortization of $398,000.

Cash used in operating activities was $343,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 resulting primarily from our net loss of $512,000, an increase in unbilled receivables of $754,000 related to the development phase of certain contracts that have not yet reached the billable stage, and a decrease in accounts payable, accrued expenses and deferred revenue of $272,000, partially offset by non-cash depreciation and amortization of $398,000 and decreases in inventory of $650,000 resulting from resumption of shipments to our largest customer in the second quarter of fiscal 2014.

Investing Activities

During the nine months ended March 31, 2015, we invested $1.2 million in the purchase of notes receivable as further described in Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this report. We also purchased Huber Precision and Fineline Molds for a total of $865,000, made capital expenditures primarily for tooling and manufacturing equipment in the amount of $242,000 and received $1.3 million in proceeds from the sale of equity securities in conformity with our Surplus Capital Investment Policy described in more detail below. Additionally, we expended $50,000 in capitalized legal fees and software development costs related to internally developed intellectual property.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2014, we purchased $327,000 of public company common stock and received $88,000 in proceeds from the sale of other similar investments in conformity with our Surplus Capital Investment Policy described in more detail below. Additionally, we purchased equipment for $25,000 and we expended $53,000 in legal fees related to internally developed intellectual property. Additionally, during the period we received proceeds of $900,000 from the sale of land and building from our former Astromec operations.

Financing Activities

During the nine months ended March 31, 2015 we spent $154,000 on the repurchase of 69,773 shares of our common stock pursuant to the share repurchase program described in more detail below. We also repurchased the outstanding in-the money stock options held by our former Chief Executive Officer for $32,000, pursuant to the terms of his separation agreement.

Cash flows from financing activities during the nine months ended March 31, 2014 were not material.

We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalent balances, as well as potential third-party financing facilities that are being considered by us (as further described below) will be sufficient to fund our operations for the next twelve months.

Financing Facilities

Since September 2012, we have conducted our operations without need of a credit facility. During the third quarter ended March 31, 2015, we liquidated all our investments in public company common stock to fund our working capital requirements and have begun exploring various form of debt financing. Although we believe that there are forms of debt financing available to us, which we are currently evaluating, there are no assurances that such financing will be available on acceptable terms.

Surplus Capital Investment Policy

We have a Surplus Capital Investment Policy (the “Policy”) that provides, among other items, for the following:

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

In June 2013, the Investment Committee approved investments aggregating $500,000, and approved an additional $500,000 in July 2013. During the third quarter of fiscal 2015, the Investment Committee liquidated the entire equity portfolio to assist with our working capital requirements. The Company recorded realized gains on the sales of securities of $395,000 and $455,000, respectively, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015.

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 approved, on September 23, 2014, the adoption of a prearranged share repurchase plan intended to qualify for the safe harbor under Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“10b5-1 Plan”). The 10b5-1 Plan became effective on September 24, 2014 and terminated on March 23, 2015. Through March 23, 2015, we repurchased 69,773 shares at an aggregate cost of $154,000, inclusive of fees, under the terms of the 10b5-1 Plan. Repurchases under the 10b5-1 Plan were administered through an independent broker.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Not applicable.

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively) conducted an evaluation of the design and operation of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”)). The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures also include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

In accordance with SEC rules, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer of the effectiveness, as of March 31, 2015, of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). “Internal control over financial reporting” includes those policies and procedures that: 

Based on that evaluation as of March 31, 2015, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

 Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, our former Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer resigned. Our former Chief Operating Officer was appointed to the position of Chief Executive Officer and our former Senior Director of Finance was appointed to the position of Chief Financial Officer. These changes have necessitated that the Chief Financial Officer is now preparing, reviewing and signing the SEC filings as the principal financial officer of the company. However, management believes that our controls and procedures viewed in totality mitigate the risks related to the additional responsibilities of our current Chief Financial Officer. There were no other changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any system of controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as ours are designed to do, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In general, we are from time to time a party to various legal proceedings incidental to our business, none of which we currently consider to be material. There can be no certainty, however, that we may not ultimately incur liability or that such liability will not be material and adverse.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Our business, future financial condition and results of operations are subject to a number of factors, risks and uncertainties, which are disclosed in Item 1A, entitled “Risk Factors”, in Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended June 30, 2014 as well as any amendments thereto or additions and changes thereto contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2015. Additional information regarding some of those risks and uncertainties is contained in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report and in Item 2, entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, in Part I of this report. The risks and uncertainties disclosed in our Form 10-K, our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and other reports filed with the SEC are not necessarily all of the risks and uncertainties that may affect our business, financial condition and results of operations in the future.

There have been no material changes to the risk factors as disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, except as provided in any amendments thereto.

ITEM 2.  UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Repurchases by the Company of its common stock during the quarter ended March 31, 2015 were as follows:

All repurchases were made pursuant to the Company’s previously announced repurchase program.
