NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)


NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION


The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Pro-Dex, Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our”, “Pro-Dex” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“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, 2016. 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, 2016.


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. Subsequently, the FASB has issued the following standards related to ASU 2014-09: ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): “Principal versus Agent Considerations” ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): “Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing” and ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): “Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients”. In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. This update permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The ASU also requires expanded disclosures relating to the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Additionally, qualitative and quantitative disclosures are required about customer contracts, significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. While we are still in the process of evaluating the effect of adoption on our consolidated financial statements and are currently assessing our contracts with customers, we do not currently expect a material impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial position. We anticipate we will expand our consolidated financial statement disclosures in order to comply with the new ASU. We have not yet concluded on our transition method upon adoption, but plan to select a transition method by the end of fiscal 2017.


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. While we are still in the process of evaluating the effect of adoption on our consolidated financial statements and are currently assessing our leases, we expect the adoption will lead to a material increase in the assets and liabilities recorded on our consolidated balance sheet.


In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718) “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting”. This update simplifies the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. This guidance will impact our accounting related to future exercises or forfeiture of stock option awards.


In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), “Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments”. This update provides guidance on eight specific cash flow issues: (1) debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs; (2) settlement of zero-coupon bonds; (3) contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; (4) proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; (5) proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, including bank-owned life insurance policies; (6) distributions received from equity method investees; (7) beneficial interests in securitization transactions; and (8) separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the application of this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Reclassifications


The short-term portion of deferred rent, in the amount of $79,000 as of June 30, 2016, has been reclassified to accrued liabilities to conform to the current period presentation. As described in more detail in Note 3 below, the assets sold relating to the Company’s Oregon Micro Systems (“OMS”) division have been reclassified as assets held for sale in accordance with applicable accounting guidance. These balance sheet reclassifications had no impact on our condensed consolidated statement of operations.


NOTE 2. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS


We specialize in the design, development and manufacture of powered rotary drive surgical and dental instruments used primarily in the orthopedic, spine, maxocranial facial and dental markets. Our Fineline Molds division, acquired in fiscal 2015, manufactures plastic injection molding for a variety of industries. Pro-Dex's products are found in hospitals, dental offices, and medical engineering labs around the world.


In fiscal 2015, we acquired Huber Precision (“Huber”), a business that made custom machined parts. We made the investment to garner a wider customer base, but the sales to the customers that were serviced by Huber dwindled over time, such that activities have become immaterial. As a result the intangibles relating to Huber were impaired during the first quarter of fiscal 2017.


Through January 27, 2017, we also designed and manufactured multi-axis motion control systems used in factory automation and scientific research markets and these products can be found in scientific research facilities and high tech manufacturing operations around the world. (See Note 3)


Through April, 2017, we provided engineering consulting and placement services, as well as quality and regulatory consulting services through our Engineering Services Division. Although we continue to provide engineering, quality and regulatory consulting services to our customers, we have ceased placement services and accordingly have disbanded our Engineering Services Division.

On January 27, 2017, we sold certain of the assets and the business operations of our OMS division located in Beaverton Oregon. We sold the business to our long time general manager of the division. The sale was structured as an asset sale as disclosed in a Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 30, 2017. The aggregate sales price received was $636,000, and no liabilities other than warranty obligations were assumed by the buyer. As a result of the sale, this division has been classified as a discontinued operation in conformity with applicable accounting guidance and the assets that were sold have been reclassified as assets held for sale on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2016. Accordingly, unless otherwise indicated, OMS’s results have been reported as discontinued operations and removed from all financial discussions of continuing operations.


The following summarizes the carrying values of the assets sold as of June 30, 2016 (in thousands):

Income from discontinued operations consists of direct revenues and direct expenses of the OMS business, including cost of revenues, as well as other fixed costs to the extent that such costs will be eliminated as a result of the sale. The Company historically did not allocate corporate overhead to this division. Additionally, the OMS division has historically been the only division that was significant enough to require segment disclosures and as such, effective with this divestiture, we no longer require segment disclosure as our business is currently run.

Capitalized software development costs relate to internally developed software, which was fully amortized during fiscal 2016 and both the software development costs and corresponding accumulated amortization were offset during the first quarter of fiscal 2017. Both the covenant not to compete and the customer list and backlog relate to assets acquired in conjunction with the business acquisitions described in Note 2 above and are being amortized over various periods not to exceed ten years. The customer backlog has been fully amortized and both the cost and related accumulated amortization have been offset during the current fiscal year. During the first quarter of fiscal 2017, we recognized an impairment charge for the remaining un-amortized customer list related to the Huber business in the amount of $113,000, as we do not expect there to be any significant future cash flows resulting from these customer relationships and have written-off the cost basis and accumulated amortization during the current fiscal year. The trade name relates exclusively to Fineline and has an indefinite life, subject to impairment loss assessment annually, or more frequently if certain conditions exist. Patent-related costs consist of legal fees incurred in connection with both patent applications and a patent issuance, and will be amortized over the estimated life of the product(s) that is or will be utilizing the technology, or expensed immediately in the event the patent office denies the issuance of the patent. We anticipate recording amortization expense of approximately $12,000 in the remainder of fiscal 2017, $54,000 in each of fiscal 2018 and 2019, $49,000 in fiscal 2020, $44,000 in fiscal 2021, $34,000 in fiscal 2021 and the remaining $23,000 thereafter.


NOTE 5. 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, 2017 and June 30, 2016, the warranty reserve amounted to $245,000 and $365,000, 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 (credit) relating to new product sales and changes to estimates for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 was ($129,000) and $49,000, respectively, and for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 was $85,000 and $226,000, respectively.

NOTE 6. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE


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


The following table presents reconciliations of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share computations for net income (loss). In the tables below, income (loss) amounts represent the numerator, and share amounts represent the denominator (in thousands, except per share amounts):

NOTE 7. INVESTMENT IN RAMSEY PROPERTY AND RELATED NOTES RECEIVABLE


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 were cross-collateralized and originally 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).


During the third quarter of fiscal 2015, we entered into forbearance agreements with Riverside whereby we 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 agreed to advance Riverside from time-to-time up to an aggregate amount of $200,000 at any time prior to July 31, 2015. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, we amended the revolving loan agreement to provide for advances to Riverside of up to an aggregate amount of $300,000 under a Revolving Loan Modification Agreement. The $86,000 reflected on the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 as Purchase of Investment in Ramsey property and related notes receivable represents an extension of credit under the amended revolving loan agreement.


Additionally, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, we entered a settlement agreement such that we received the deed to the land and building located in Ramsey, Minnesota (the “Ramsey Property”) which had previously been held as security for notes receivable. The notes were considered impaired because we did not receive any contractual payments. Accordingly, the recorded investment was reflected at the lesser of the purchase price or the estimated fair value of the collateral (with appropriate reductions for estimated disposal costs).


On September 22, 2015 we sent Riverside a proposal to accept the collateral in full satisfaction of Riverside’s debt. On October 13, 2015, title to the collateral transferred to the Company by operation of law. Therefore, on October 13, 2015, we took possession of all assets secured by the revolving loan agreement and promissory notes and Riverside ceased to operate.


During the third quarter ended March 31, 2016 we sold the Ramsey Property for an aggregate purchase price of $1,653,000, collecting $1,441,000 upon close of escrow. Additionally, during the second and third quarter of fiscal 2016 we liquidated the machine shop equipment and collected some accounts receivable that served as Collateral to the promissory notes in the gross amount of $529,000. Therefore, during the third quarter ended March 31, 2016 we recorded a gain on the sale of Investment in Ramsey in the amount of $340,000, which included a final accrual in the aggregate amount of $108,000 related to $86,000 to be released from escrow upon completion of voluntary foreclosure proceedings and $22,000 due from our equipment liquidator. The $86,000 was released from escrow during fiscal 2017 and the $22,000 was collected in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016.


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.

PRO-DEX, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 


Significant management judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes and the recoverability of our deferred tax assets. Such determination is based primarily on our historical taxable income, with some consideration given to our estimates of future taxable income by jurisdictions in which we operate and the period over which our deferred tax assets will be recoverable. During the second quarter of fiscal 2017 we released approximately $3.8 million of valuation allowance, of which $3.3 million was treated as a discrete benefit during the quarter as the Company determined that it was more likely than not that it would generate sufficient levels of profitability to realize substantially all of its deferred tax assets. The remaining $0.5 million was included in the forecasted annual effective tax rate used to determine the tax expense recorded during the quarter. Due to the change in the annual forecast and the amount of deferred tax assets that are expected to be realized as a result of current year earnings, the tax benefit recorded during the second quarter as a discrete item related to the release of the valuation allowance was adjusted to $2.8 million. The remaining valuation release of approximately $0.9 million has been included in the computation of the Company’s annual effective tax rate. During the third quarter ended March 31, 2017, the Company adjusted its State NOL carryforwards, which amount to approximately $127,000. Additionally, the current quarter tax expense includes approximately $730,000 due primarily to the aforementioned change to the discrete benefit for the release of the beginning of the year valuation allowance due to an increase in expected income from continuing operations for the full fiscal year. In addition, there was an approximate $35,000 increase to tax expense for rate changes during the quarter.


As of March 31, 2017, we have accrued $441,000 of unrecognized tax benefits related to federal and state income tax matters. This entire balance is expected to reduce the Company’s income tax expense if recognized and result in a corresponding decrease in the Company’s effective tax rate.


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, 2017, 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, 2014 and later. Our state income tax returns are open to audit under the statute of limitations for the years ended June 30, 2013 and later. We do not anticipate a significant change to the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.


NOTE 9. SHARE-BASED INCENTIVE PLANS


Through June 2014 we had two equity compensation plans, the Second Amended and Restated 2004 Stock Option Plan (the “Employee Stock Option Plan”) and the Amended and Restated 2004 Directors’ Stock Option Plan (the “Directors’ Stock Option Plan”) (collectively, the “Former Stock Option Plans”). There was no share-based compensation expense for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017 as all outstanding options under the Former Stock Option Plans are fully vested. Share-based compensation expense for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2016 was $0 and $2,000, respectively.


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 were reallocated for issuance under the provisions of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan described below.

At September 30, 2014, 173,334 shares were reserved for issuance under the Directors’ Stock Option Plan, all of which shares were reallocated for issuance under the provisions of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan described below.


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 the Company’s common stock in the form of incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted stock units, performance awards and other stock-based awards. As of March 31, 2017, no awards have been granted under the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan


In September 2014, our Board approved the establishment of an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), which was approved by our shareholders at the December 3, 2014 Annual Meeting. The ESPP conforms to the provisions of Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code, has coterminous offering and purchase periods of six months, and bases the pricing to purchase shares of our common stock on a formula so as to result in a per share purchase price that approximates a 15% discount from the market price of a share of our common stock at the end of the purchase period. Our Board of Directors also approved the provision that shares formerly reserved for issuance under the Former Stock Option Plans in excess of shares issuable pursuant to outstanding options under those plans, aggregating 704,715 shares, be reserved for issuance pursuant to the ESPP. During the first quarter ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, 2,056 and 1,925 shares were purchased, respectively, and allocated to employees based upon their contributions at prices of $4.91 and $1.99, respectively, per share. During the third quarter ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, 1,738 and 3,671 shares were purchased, respectively and allocated to employees based upon their contributions at prices of $4.53 and $1.96, respectively, per share. On a cumulative basis, since the inception of the ESPP plan, employees have purchased a total of 9,390 shares. During the nine months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, we recorded stock compensation expense in the amount of $3,000 and $2,000, respectively, relating to the ESPP.

NOTE 11. NOTES PAYABLE AND FINANCING TRANSACTIONS


Summit Financial Resources LP


On September 9, 2015 we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Summit Loan”) with Summit Financial Resources LP, whereby we could borrow up to $1.0 million against our eligible receivables, as defined in the agreement. Borrowed funds bore interest at a rate of prime plus 2 percent (5.75%), and incurred an additional administrative fee of 0.7 percent on the monthly average outstanding balance. The Summit Loan had an initial period of 18 months. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017 we borrowed $0 and $600,000, respectively, under the Summit Loan, which amounts were paid in full by March 31, 2017. On March 9, 2017, we terminated the Summit Loan in accordance with its terms. Therefore as of March 31, 2017 we no longer present amounts due from factor.


Jules & Associates


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 March 31, 2017 is approximately $81,000.

Fineline Molds


In conjunction with our acquisition of the assets of Fineline we issued a promissory note to Fineline in the amount of $100,000 which bears interest at 4% per annum and requires sixteen equal quarterly payments of principal and accrued interest in the amount of $6,794. The note is secured by all of the assets acquired by us from Fineline. The balance owed on the note as of March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2016 was approximately $52,000 and $70,000 respectively.


Fortitude Income Funds


The Company borrowed $500,000 from Fortitude Income Funds, LLC (“Fortitude”) under a promissory note dated September 8, 2015. The loan bore interest at 12 percent per annum, contained a loan origination fee of $15,000 plus expenses, and required monthly interest only payments until its maturity originally scheduled on March 15, 2016. We repaid the loan in full on February 22, 2016.


NOTE 12. 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 March 22, 2016, the adoption of a prearranged share repurchase plan intended to qualify for the safe harbor Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“10b5-1 Plan” or “Plan”). The Plan became effective on March 23, 2016 and terminated on July 6, 2016 in accordance with its provisions. Additionally, during the quarter ended September 30, 2016, our Board approved a subsequent 10b5-1 Plan, which became effective on September 8, 2016 and terminates on the earlier of September 8, 2017 or when and if the maximum shares are repurchased. During the quarter ended December 31, 2016, the Investment Committee of our Board approved an additional concurrently running 10b5-1 Plan, which became effective on December 8, 2016 and terminates on the earlier of December 8, 2017 or when and if the maximum shares are repurchased. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017, we repurchased 27,721 and 63,496 shares, respectively, at an aggregate cost of $144,000 and $312,000, respectively, inclusive of fees under the Plans. On a cumulative basis, we have repurchased a total of 232,957 shares under the share repurchase program at an aggregate cost of $920,000. All repurchases under the 10b5-1 Plans were administered through an independent broker. In February, 2017 our Board terminated the two effective 10b5-1 Plans in conjunction with the approval of the Company’s At The Market Offering Agreement (“ATM” or “ATM Agreement”) further described in Note 15.


NOTE 13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES


Legal Matters


In September 2015, Pro-Dex Sunfish Lake, LLC (“PDSL”) a subsidiary of the Company foreclosed its lien against the assets of Riverside (see Note 7). After the foreclosure, Scott Robertson (the former president of Riverside), Riverside and Heron Enterprises, LLC, an affiliated entity, asserted claims of breach of contract, fraudulent inducement and wrongful self-help eviction among others, against PDSL and another subsidiary of the Company, Pro-Dex Riverside LLC (“PDR”). PDSL and PDR asserted various claims, including slander of title, fraudulent misrepresentation, conversion and theft against each of those parties, in turn. In October 2016, the parties filed lawsuits against one another asserting the aforementioned claims. On February 8, 2017, a hearing was held to request dismissal of several of Robertson et al’s claims, which the court dismissed effective May 8, 2017. The court has also ordered that the parties mediate their dispute by July 2017. We are unable to quantify the value of the respective claims at this time, as the damages are unspecified in the pleadings. However, prior to the filing of the lawsuits, Mr. Robertson requested payment of $250,000 to fully settle the matter. We intend to pursue our claims and vigorously defend against the claims against us. While we believe that we are likely to prevail should this matter go to trial, there can be no assurances that we will prevail.


Additionally, two former employees have asserted claims of wrongful termination and unpaid commission earnings on March 20, 2017 and April 21, 2017, respectively. The former employees are seeking payments of $100,000 and $41,000, respectively. No amounts have been accrued relating to either matter and we intend to vigorously defend against these claims.

In addition to the matters described above 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.


NOTE 14. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS


Fair value is measured based on the prices that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements are based on a three-tier hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.


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


Investments: Investments consist of marketable equity securities of publicly traded companies. As such, investments are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.


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 15. AT THE MARKET OFFERING AGREEMENT


In February 2017, our Board approved an ATM Agreement with Ascendiant Capital Markets, LLC. The ATM Agreement allows the Company to sell shares of its common stock pursuant to specific parameters defined by the Company as well as those defined by the SEC and the ATM Agreement. Since the inception of the ATM no shares have been sold, but it allows for quick and agile sales of our common stock to interested investors and provides an opportunity to raise additional capital for working capital requirements or to fund strategic opportunities that may present themselves from time to time.


NOTE 16. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS


On April 19, 2017 we entered into a Business Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”), dated effective March 28, 2017, with Farmers & Merchants Bank of Long Beach, a California corporation, providing for a $500,000 revolving loan facility (the “Revolving Loan Facility”). The Revolving Loan Facility is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company. The Loan Agreement is attached as an exhibit to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 21, 2017.


On April 19, 2017 (the “Closing Date”), we entered into a Secured Convertible Promissory Note (the “Promissory Note”) with Monogram Orthopaedics Inc. (“Monogram” or the “Borrower”). Monogram is a New York based medical device start-up specializing in precision, patient specific orthopedic implants.


Pursuant to the terms of the Promissory Note, the Company advanced Monogram $450,000, and upon Monogram’s satisfaction of certain milestones, as determined by us in good faith, within three months after the Closing Date the Company will advance an additional $350,000. The Promissory Note bears interest at 4% per annum calculated on a 360-day year and matures on April 19, 2019, upon which the outstanding principal and accrued interest will become due and payable if not converted to Borrower’s common stock. The Promissory Note is attached as an exhibit to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 25, 2017.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


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


The following discussion and analysis provides information that management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the results of operations and financial condition of Pro-Dex, Inc. (“Company”, “Pro-Dex”, “we”, “our” or “us”) for the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto included elsewhere in this report. This report contains certain forward-looking statements and information. The cautionary statements included herein should be read as being applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they may appear. Our actual future results could differ materially from those discussed herein.


Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters discussed in this report, including, but not limited to, discussions of our product development plans, business strategies, strategic opportunities and market factors influencing our results, are forward-looking statements that involve certain risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ from those anticipated by us as a result of various factors, both foreseen and unforeseen, including, but not limited to, our ability to continue to develop new products and increase sales in markets characterized by rapid technological evolution, consolidation within our target marketplace and among our competitors, competition from larger, better capitalized competitors, and our ability to realize returns on opportunities. Many other economic, competitive, governmental and technological factors could impact our ability to achieve our goals. You are urged to review the risks, uncertainties and other cautionary language described in this report, as well as in our other public disclosures and reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) from time to time, including, but not limited to, the risks, uncertainties and other cautionary language discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended June 30, 2016.


We design and manufacture hand-held medical devices for use in orthopedic and craniomaxillofacial (“CMF”) surgical applications. We also design and manufacture dental instruments. Experience in surgical devices allows us to develop products that require high precision in harsh environments. Our products are found in hospitals, dental offices, and medical engineering labs around the world.


In addition to our principal operations described above, our Fineline Molds division, located in San Dimas, California manufactures plastic injection molds for a wide variety of industries. The name Fineline Molds, a division of Pro-Dex, is used to distinguish our acquired business and we filed a fictitious name statement in Los Angeles County where we operate this division.


Through January 27, 2017, our OMS division located in Beaverton, Oregon developed, designed and manufactured multi-axis motion controllers. These products are often found in scientific research facilities and high tech manufacturing operations around the world. This division was sold on January 27, 2017 and has been classified as a discontinued operation in conformity with applicable accounting guidance and the assets that were sold have been reclassified as assets held for sale on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2016. Accordingly, unless otherwise indicated, OMS’s results have been reported as discontinued operations and removed from all financial discussions of continuing operations.


Through April, 2017, we provided engineering consulting and placement services, as well as quality and regulatory consulting services through our Engineering Services Division. Although we continue to provide engineering, quality and regulatory consulting services to our customers, we have ceased placement services and accordingly have disbanded our Engineering Services Division. The cessation of placement services is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Basis of Presentation


The condensed consolidated results of operation presented in this report are not audited and those results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entirety of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2017 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 Estimates and Judgments


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 there have been no significant changes during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017 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, 2016.


Business Strategy and Future Plans


Our business today is almost entirely driven by sales of our medical devices. Many of our significant customers place purchase orders for specific products that were developed under various development and/or supply agreements. Our customers may request that we design and manufacture a custom surgical device or they may hire us as a contract manufacturer to manufacture a product of their own design. In either case, we have extensive experience with autoclavable, battery-powered and electric, multi-function surgical drivers and shavers. We continue to focus a significant percentage of our time and resources on providing outstanding products and service to our valued principal customers. Additionally, in the current fiscal year we have realized measurable cost reductions due to our investment in machinery and equipment.


Simultaneously, we are working to build top-line sales through active proposals of new medical device products with new and existing customers, and completed a significant engineering project during the third quarter of fiscal 2017. Our patented adaptive torque-limiting has been very well received in the CMF market and we therefore anticipate continued investment in this area with research and development focused on applying this technology to other surgical applications. Additionally, as described in Note 16 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this report, in April 2017 we invested in 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 are hopeful that this investment will generate future revenue streams as contemplated by planned future definitive development and supply agreements. However, we believe that this is a long-term, strategic investment which will likely take several years to cultivate and generate meaningful additional revenue, if at all.




18



 


As described more fully in Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this report, we sold our OMS division on January 27, 2017. Although unsolicited, this divestiture and resulting capital infusion will allow us to further invest in our core medical device product development efforts.


In summary, our current objectives are focused primarily on maintaining our relationships with our current medical device customers and investing in additional research and development activities to bring new medical device products to market, and continuing to promote active product development proposals to new and existing customers for both orthopedic shavers and screw drivers for a multitude of surgical applications, while monitoring closely the progress of all these individual endeavors. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in any of these objectives.

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 manufacture plastic injection molds in our San Dimas, California facility, a revenue stream generated from our acquisition of Fineline during the third quarter of fiscal 2015.


Sales of our medical device products and related development services increased $2.0 million and $3.2 million respectively, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year. Our medical device revenue to our largest customer increased $2.2 million and $4.4 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017 compared the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year, due to an increase in sales of a surgical handpiece designed to be used in orthopedic surgery applications as we completed our production level ramp to ship to the expected 150 units per month that the customer has requested during the second quarter of this fiscal year. During the third quarter of fiscal 2017, we completed the design of a CMF screwdriver and recorded approximately $750,000 in non-recurring engineering service revenue and also recorded $600,000 in initial product shipments for one of our medical device distributors. Separately, our former largest customer has replaced a primary product that we had sold to them with one that they manufacture in-house. Sales to this customer decreased by $900,000 and $1.8 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year. The decline in sales to this customer is also the primary reason for the reduction in repair revenue for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year. Additionally, sales of another unique CMF hand piece to another significant customer declined by approximately $700,000 and $1.1 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year. We expect our repair revenue for the remainder of fiscal 2017 will continue to be less than in the prior year as our other primary medical device products are relatively new and most repairs are covered under warranty.

Our dental and component revenue are generated from sales to many distributors and end-users whose purchasing activity can vary widely from year to year. These are legacy products, which although they continue to sell to many long-held customers, have not had a product line refresh, which may be a contributing factor to the 48% and 38% decline in sales for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year. We are not currently investing time or resources to these products and we expect revenue will continue to decline.


Our ESD revenue declined significantly in the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the corresponding period of the prior year and no new placements have been made since June 2016. As a result we ceased offering placement services effective in April 2017.


At March 31, 2017, we had a backlog of approximately $12.9 million, of which $4.8 million is scheduled to be delivered in fiscal 2017 and the balance is scheduled to be delivered next fiscal year. Of the backlog, $8.6 million relates to purchase orders received from our largest customer and approximately $240,000 relates to Fineline Molds. We may experience variability in our new order bookings due to various reasons, including, but not limited to, the timing of major new product launches and customer planned inventory builds. However, we do not typically experience seasonal fluctuations in our shipments and revenues.

Cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2017 increased $293,000 or 8 percent compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. The increase in total costs of sales is less than the 28 percent increase in revenue for the same period, due in large part to savings made by in-sourcing previously out-sourced manufactured parts. Under-absorption of manufacturing costs increased by $207,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year due primarily to adjustments made to lower our standard labor and overhead rates at the beginning of fiscal 2017 in anticipation of higher manufacturing volumes. Costs relating to inventory and warranty charges decreased by $226,000 for the third quarter ended March 31, 2017 compared to the third quarter of the prior fiscal year. Approximately $189,000 of the decrease relates to reductions in the estimated repair costs of products under warranty.


Gross profit increased by approximately $1.1 million or 88 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year, primarily as a result of the increase in revenue discussed above and the corresponding decrease in product costs associated with additional in-sourcing. Gross margin as a percentage of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2017 increased by approximately 12 percentage points compared to the corresponding period of the prior year due primarily to the cost savings introduced this fiscal year due to our investment in machinery and equipment that has allowed us to make certain machined parts that had been previously out-sourced.




20



 


Cost of sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 increased by $593,000 or 6 percent compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year, primarily due to the increase in revenue of 15 percent for the same period, the reasons for which are discussed above. Additionally, product cost for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 did not increase in proportion to our increase in sales due to better controlling of costs through manufacturing efficiencies described above. Cost of sales reflects a $389,000 increase in under-absorbed manufacturing costs as we are under-absorbed by $52,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2017, for the same reason as described above. Finally, the inventory and warranty charges decreased $209,000 during the nine months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year, primarily as a result of the change in estimated repair costs of products under warranty.


Gross profit increased $1.5 million or 43 percent for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the corresponding period of the prior year, primarily as a result of the increases in revenue of 15 percent and the cost savings discussed above. Gross margin increased by approximately 6 percentage points, compared to the corresponding period of the prior year.

Selling expenses consist of salaries and other personnel-related expenses for our business development departments as well as advertising and marketing expenses, and travel and related costs incurred in generating and maintaining our customer relationships. Selling expenses for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017 decreased $39,000, or 23 percent, and $125,000, or 22 percent, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods of fiscal 2016. The decrease in selling expenses in the third quarter of fiscal 2017 compared to the prior fiscal year is primarily due to a $21,000 recovery of bad debt expense related to a Fineline customer. The decrease in selling expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the corresponding period of fiscal 2016 is due to approximately $57,000 in reduced costs of the ESD division, $35,000 of which relates to a decrease in allocated costs as well as a reduction in commission expense of approximately $19,000. Additionally, approximately $39,000 of the decrease relates to the Fineline division, mostly due to decreased personnel costs. The remaining decrease relates primarily to a reduction of approximately $27,000 relating to the Huber division, which we have since impaired fully as described further below.


General and administrative expenses (“G&A”) consists of salaries and other personnel-related expenses of our accounting, finance and human resource personnel, as well as costs for outsourced information technology services, professional fees, directors’ fees, and other costs and expenses attributable to being a public company. G&A increased $305,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and increased $487,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2017, respectively, when compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year. The increase in total G&A expenses was primarily related to bonus expenses of $224,000 and $320,000 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017 respectively, as well as increased legal expenses most of which relate to the ongoing litigation described in Note 13 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this report.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2016, we recorded impairment charge of $245,000 related to the goodwill and intangibles related to the Fineline division, as a result of our annual impairment test. During the first quarter of fiscal 2017, we recorded an impairment charge of approximately $113,000 related to the Huber division relating to the customer list acquired in conjunction with our Huber acquisition, as we do not expect there to be any significant future cash flows resulting from these customer relationships.


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, 2017 decreased $44,000 and increased $10,000, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year. Our personnel expenses have declined for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the corresponding prior year periods in response to fewer customer development projects in the current fiscal year versus the prior fiscal year. Research and development expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 increased by $10,000, or 1 percent, compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year due primarily to increased internal project investments of approximately $58,000 and an increase of approximately $45,000 in allocated costs, offset by a decrease of $41,000 in personnel costs as well as a decrease of $49,000 in hardware and software related expenditures.


Interest Expense


Interest expense consists primarily of interest expense related to the loans and notes payable described more fully in Note 11 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this report and capital lease obligations for leased equipment. The decrease in interest expense for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year relates to the repayment of the loan from Fortitude.


Income Tax Expense (Benefit)


The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 are lower than statutory tax rates due to our utilization of federal and state loss carryforwards. Additionally, during fiscal 2017 we released a valuation allowance in the amount of $3.8 million on the basis of management’s reassessment of the amount of its deferred tax assets that are more likely than not to be realized, in part because in the current fiscal year, we achieved three years of cumulative pre-tax income. The $3.8 million release of the valuation allowance results in a net tax benefit of $3.3 million after considering the federal impact of the reduction of the state valuation allowance. Of the tax benefit, $2.4 million has been realized as a discrete benefit as of March 31, 2017, and the remaining $900,000 is being realized as a reduction in the current year income tax from continuing operations since it relates to an increase in forecasted income from continuing operations during the current year. (See Note 8 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this report.)


The $2.2 million of income tax benefit recorded to continuing operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 consists of the $2.4 million benefit from the reduction of the beginning of year valuation allowance that was recognized as a discrete benefit. Additionally the company recorded a $200,000 tax expense for a reduction of state tax losses recorded in prior years.

Operating Activities


Net cash provided by operating activities was $1.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 primarily due to pre-tax income from continuing operations of $1.9 million and non-cash depreciation and amortization totaling $418,000 and a non-cash impairment of intangible assets of $113,000. Uses of cash arose from an increase in accounts receivable of $981,000 and a decrease in deferred revenue in the amount of $153,000. Offsetting these uses of cash was an increase in accounts payable, accrued liabilities and deferred rent, aggregating $118,000 and a decrease in inventory in the amount of $389,000.


Cash used in operating activities was $1.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 resulting primarily from our net income of $633,000, non-cash depreciation and amortization of $481,000, a decrease in deferred costs of $730,000 related to the development phase of certain contracts reaching the billable stage, offset by payments of accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $1.1 million, an increase in accounts receivable of $1.4 million as a result of higher sales, especially in the latter part of the third fiscal quarter of fiscal 2016, and a decrease in deferred revenue of $477,000, as we completed certain development contracts allowing us to recognize previously deferred revenue.


Investing Activities


During the nine months ended March 31, 2017 we sold the OMS division for $636,000, invested $336,000 in marketable equity securities of publicly traded companies and made capital expenditures primarily for manufacturing equipment in the amount of $552,000.


During the nine months ended March 31, 2016 we sold the Ramsey Property for an aggregate purchase price of $1.6 million realizing cash proceeds from the escrow close in the amount of $1.4 million and liquidated the machine shop equipment and collected some accounts receivable that served as collateral to the promissory notes in the gross amount of $529,000 after investing an additional $87,000. Additionally during the nine months ended March 31, 2016, we made capital expenditures primarily for tooling and manufacturing equipment in the amount of $106,000 and sold fully depreciated equipment for $18,000.


Financing Activities


During the nine months ended March 31, 2017 we spent $312,000 on the repurchase of company common stock pursuant to the share repurchase program described in more detail Note 12 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this report.




23



 


Cash flows from financing activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 netted to $0, however we did borrow and repay the principal amount of $2.1 million and $500,000, respectively, from Summit Financial Resources LP and Fortitude Income Funds LLC during the nine months ended March 31, 2016.


Financing Facilities & Liquidity Requirements for the next twelve months


As of March 31, 2017, our working capital was $8.8 million. We currently believe that our existing cash and cash equivalent balances as well as 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. Certain factors and events could negatively affect our cash flows, including but not limited to, if any of our significant customers are unable to perform due to cancelation of their ordered products and/or their inability to pay for such products in a timely manner.


Additionally, as disclosed elsewhere in this report, we have obtained a $500,000 revolving loan facility with our commercial bank Farmers and Merchants Bank of Long Beach. Although we have not drawn against the facility, having it in place provides us additional liquidity for working capital expenditures should the need arise.


We are focused on preserving our cash balances by monitoring expenses, identifying cost savings, and investing only in those development programs and products that we believe will most likely contribute to our profitability. As we execute on our current strategy we may require additional funding for our working capital needs. If such a need arises we plan to raise capital through our existing ATM described in more detail in Note 15 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this report.


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, 2017, of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). “Internal control over financial reporting” includes those policies and procedures that: 


(1)

pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the issuer;


(2)

provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the issuer are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the issuer; and


(3)

provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the issuer’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.




24



 


Based on that evaluation as of March 31, 2017, 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, 2017, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.


Inherent Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls


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


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