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 (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-K. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. 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 financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2022.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”, which introduces a forward-looking approach, based on expected losses, to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. The estimate of expected credit losses will require entities to incorporate considerations of historical information, current information, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This ASU also expands the disclosure requirements to enable users of financial statements to understand the entity’s assumptions, models, and methods for estimating expected credit losses. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 (fiscal 2024 for the Company) with early adoption permitted. We are currently reviewing this ASU and its potential impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

There are no other recently issued accounting pronouncements that we have not yet adopted that we believe will have a material effect on our financial statements. 

 

NOTE 2. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

We specialize in the design, development and manufacture of autoclavable, battery-powered and electric, multi-function surgical drivers and shavers used primarily in the orthopedic, thoracic, and maxocranial facial markets. We have patented adaptive torque-limiting software and proprietary sealing solutions which appeal to our customers, primarily medical device distributors. We also manufacture and sell rotary air motors to a wide range of industries.

 

In August 2020, we formed a wholly owned subsidiary, PDEX Franklin, LLC (“PDEX Franklin”), to hold title for an approximate 25,000 square foot industrial building in Tustin, California (the “Franklin Property”) that we acquired on November 6, 2020, in order to allow for the continued growth of our business. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and PDEX Franklin and all significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. This subsidiary has no separate operations.

NOTE 3. NET SALES

 

The following table presents the disaggregation of net sales by revenue recognition model (in thousands):

 

                    
   Three Months Ended
December 31,
   Six Months Ended
December 31,
 
   2022   2021   2022   2021 
Net Sales:                    
Over-time revenue recognition   $483   $115   $1,391   $311 
Point-in-time revenue recognition    10,799    10,058    20,978    19,850 
Total net sales   $11,282   $10,173   $22,369   $20,161 

 

The timing of revenue recognition, billings, and cash collections results in billed accounts receivables, unbilled receivables (presented as deferred costs on our condensed consolidated balance sheets) and customer advances and deposits (presented as deferred revenue on our condensed consolidated balance sheets), where applicable. Amounts are generally billed as work progresses in accordance with agreed upon milestones. The over-time revenue recognition model consists of non-recurring engineering (“NRE”) and prototype services and typically relates to NRE services related to the evaluation, design or customization of a medical device and is typically recognized over time utilizing an input measure of progress based on costs incurred compared to the estimated total costs upon completion. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, we recorded $312,000 and $862,000, respectively, of revenue that had been included in deferred revenue in the prior year. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2021, we recorded $98,000 of revenue that had been included in deferred revenue in the prior year. The revenue recognized from the contract liabilities consisted of satisfying our performance obligations during the normal course of business. Our entire deferred revenue balance of $851,000 at December 31, 2022, is currently expected to be recognized in the next 12 months.

The following tables summarize our contract assets and liability balances (in thousands):

2022
   June 30,
2022
 
Raw materials/purchased components   $8,667   $6,323

Sub-assemblies/finished components    1,880    2,118 
Finished goods    1,966    774 
Total inventory   $15,135   $12,678 

 

Investments

 

Investments are stated at market value and consist of the following (in thousands):

 

          
   December 31,
2022
   June 30,
2022
 
Marketable equity securities - short-term   $1,134   $755 
Marketable equity securities - long-term    1,726    1,779 
Total marketable equity securities  $2,860   $2,534 

 

Investments at December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022 had an aggregate cost basis of $2,714,000 and $2,796,000, respectively. The long-term investments include equity investments of thinly traded securities that we classified as long term in nature because if we decide to sell these securities, we may not be able to sell our position within one year. At December 31, 2022, the investments included net unrealized gains of $146,000 (gross unrealized gains of $243,000 offset by gross unrealized losses of $97,000). At June 30, 2022, the investments included net unrealized losses of $262,000 (gross unrealized losses of $369,000 offset by gross unrealized gains of $107,000).

 

Of the total marketable equity securities at December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022, $1,134,000 and $755,000, respectively, represent an investment in the common stock of Air T, Inc. Two of our Board members are also board members of Air T, Inc. and both either individually or through affiliates own an equity interest in Air T, Inc. Our Chairman, one of the two Board members aforementioned, also serves as the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Air T, Inc. Another of our Board members is employed by Air T, Inc. as its Chief of Staff. The shares were purchased through 10b5-1 Plans, that, in accordance with our internal policies regarding the approval of related-party transactions, were approved by our then three Board members that are not affiliated with Air T, Inc.

We invest surplus cash from time to time through our Investment Committee, which is comprised of one management director, Richard Van Kirk, and two non-management directors, Raymond Cabillot and Nicholas Swenson, who chairs the committee. Both Mr. Cabillot and Mr. Swenson are active investors with extensive portfolio management expertise. We leverage the experience of these committee members to make investment decisions for the investment of our surplus operating capital or borrowed funds. Additionally, many of our securities holdings include stocks of public companies that either Messrs. Swenson or Cabillot or both may own from time to time either individually or through the investment funds that they manage, or other companies whose boards they sit on, such as Air T, Inc.

 

Land and building

 

Land and building consist of the following (in thousands):

 

          
   December 31,
2022
   June 30,
2022
 
Land   $3,684   $3,684 
Building    2,815    2,815 
Total    6,499    6,499 
Less: accumulated depreciation    (203)   (156)
 Land and building  $6,296   $6,343 

 

On November 6, 2020, we acquired the Franklin Property for a total purchase price of $6.5 million, of which we paid $1.3 million in cash and the balance of $5.2 million we financed through Minnesota Bank & Trust (“MBT”) (See Note 10). We substantially completed the build-out of the property in the first quarter of the fiscal 2022. Currently, we are actively engaged in various verification and validation activities and we moved certain employees into the new building during the third quarter of fiscal 2022. We expect that we will begin operations in the new facility during the third quarter of this fiscal year. The building is being amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of 30 years.

 

Intangibles

 

Intangibles consist of the following (in thousands):

 

          
   December 31,
2022
   June 30,
2022
 
Patent-related costs   $208   $208 
Less accumulated amortization   (110)   (90)
   $98   $118 

 

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. Future amortization expense is expected to be $21,000 for the remainder of fiscal 2023 and $42,000 per fiscal year through October 2025, at which time we expect these costs to be fully amortized. During the three months ended December 31, 2021, we impaired $46,000 in previously capitalized legal fees because although we were granted the underlying patent, in this case, we had (and continue to have) no products either in development or sold that utilize the intellectual property protected by the patent.

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 condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022, the warranty reserve amounted to $344,000 and $340,000, respectively. Warranty expenses are included in cost of sales in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income. 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 December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $56,000 and $44,000, respectively, and for the six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $123,000 and $68,000, respectively.

NOTE 6. NET INCOME PER SHARE

 

We calculate basic net income per share by dividing net income 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 and performance awards.

 

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

NOTE 7. 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 basis. 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, 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 would be recoverable.

 

We recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits when applicable. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, we recognized accrued interest of $54,000 and $61,000, respectively, related to unrecognized tax benefits.

 

We 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, 2019 and later. Our state income tax returns are open to audit under the statute of limitations for the years ended June 30, 2019 and later. However, because of our prior net operating losses and research credit carryovers, our tax years from June 30, 2007 are open to audit. We do not anticipate a significant change to the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.

 

NOTE 8. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

 

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”). The Employee Stock Option Plan and Directors’ Stock Option Plan were terminated in June 2014 and December 2014, respectively.

 

In September 2016, our Board approved the establishment of the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan, which was approved by our shareholders at our 2016 Annual Meeting. The 2016 Equity Incentive Plan provides for the award of up to 1,500,000 shares of our common stock in the form of incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted stock units, performance awards, and other stock-based awards. As of December 31, 2022, 200,000 performance awards and 372,000 non-qualified stock options have been granted under the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan.

 

Former Stock Option Plans

 

No options were granted under the Former Stock Option Plans during the three or six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

The last remaining stock options outstanding under the Former Stock Option Plans were exercised during the six months ended December 31, 2022. As such, as of December 31, 2022, there was no unrecognized compensation cost under the Former Stock Option Plans as there are no options outstanding. The following is a summary of stock option activity under the Former Stock Option Plans for the six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021:

Performance Awards

 

In December 2017, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors granted 200,000 performance awards to our employees under our 2016 Equity Incentive Plan, which will generally be paid in shares of our common stock. Whether any performance awards vest, and the amount that does vest, is tied to the completion of service periods that range from 7 months to 9.5 years at inception and the achievement of our common stock trading at certain pre-determined prices. The weighted-average fair value of the performance awards granted was $4.46, calculated using the weighted-average fair market value for each award, using a Monte Carlo simulation. In February 2020, the Compensation Committee reallocated 48,000 previously forfeited awards, having the same remaining terms and conditions, to certain employees. The weighted-average fair value of the performance awards reallocated in 2020 was $16.90, calculated using the weighted-average fair market value for each award, using a Monte Carlo simulation. In December 2021, the Compensation Committee reallocated an additional 17,500 previously forfeited awards, having the same remaining terms and conditions, to other employees. The weighted average fair value of the performance awards reallocated in 2021 was $20.34, calculated using the weighted average fair market value for each award, using a Monte Carlo simulation. During the three months ended December 31, 2022, and 2021, we recorded share-based compensation expense of $30,000 and $21,000, respectively, related to outstanding performance awards. During the six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, we recorded share-based compensation expense of $60,000 and $42,000, respectively, related to outstanding performance awards. On December 31, 2022, there was approximately $262,000 of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested performance awards, which is expected to be expensed over the weighted-average period of 2.50 years.

 

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

Non-Qualified Stock Options

 

In December 2020, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors granted 310,000 non-qualified stock options to our directors and certain employees under the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan. The vesting of these stock options is tied to the completion of service periods that range from 18 months to 10.5 years from the date of grant and the achievement of our common stock trading at certain pre-determined prices. In December 2021, the Compensation Committee reallocated 5,000 previously forfeited non-qualified stock options, having the same remaining terms and conditions, to another employee. During the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, we recorded compensation expense of $140,000 and $254,000, respectively, related to these options. During the six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, we recorded compensation expense of $312,000 and $527,000, respectively, related to these options. The weighted average fair value of the stock option awards granted was $16.72, calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation. As of December 31, 2022, none of these stock options had vested and there was approximately $2.7 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to these stock options.

 

In February 2021, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors granted 62,000 non-qualified stock options to our directors and certain employees under the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan. The vesting of these stock options is tied to the completion of service periods that range from 4 months to 1.3 years at inception and the achievement of our common stock trading at certain pre-determined prices. Of these 62,000 stock options, 57,750 vested on July 1, 2021, as our common stock met the pre-determined prices set forth in the underlying agreements and the required service periods were already satisfied. The weighted-average fair value of the stock option awards granted was $3.16, calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation.

 

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

 

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

 

During the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, we did not record any share-based compensation expense relating to the ESPP, due to the fact that no six-month offering period ended during either quarter. During the six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, 2,503 and 1,130 shares of our common stock were purchased under the ESPP, respectively, and allocated to employees based upon their contributions at prices of $13.52 and $26.17, respectively, per share. On a cumulative basis, since the inception of the ESPP, employees have purchased a total of 29,542 shares of our common stock. During the six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, we recorded share-based compensation expense in the amount of $6,000 and $5,000, respectively, relating to the ESPP.

NOTE 10. NOTES PAYABLE AND FINANCING TRANSACTIONS

Minnesota Bank & Trust

 

On November 6, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), PDEX Franklin, a newly created wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, purchased an approximate 25,000 square foot industrial building in Tustin, California (the “Franklin Property”). A portion of the purchase price was financed by a loan from MBT to PDEX Franklin in the principal amount of approximately $5.2 million (the “Property Loan”) pursuant to a Loan Agreement, dated as of the Closing Date, between PDEX Franklin and MBT (the “Property Loan Agreement”) and corresponding Term Note (the “Property Note”) issued by PDEX Franklin in favor of MBT on the Closing Date. The Property Loan is secured by the Franklin Property pursuant to a Deed of Trust with Assignment of Leases and Rents, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing in favor of MBT (the “Deed”) and by an Assignment of Leases and Rents by PDEX Franklin in favor of MBT (the “Rents Assignment”). We paid loan origination fees to MBT on the Closing Date in the amount of $26,037.

 

The Property Loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.55% per annum, which is subject to a 3% increase upon an event of default. Accrued interest was paid on December 1, 2020, and both principal and interest in the amount of approximately $30,000 are due and payable on the first day of each subsequent month until the maturity date of November 1, 2030 (the “Maturity Date”), at which time a balloon payment in the amount of $3.1 million is due. Any prepayment of the Property Loan (other than monthly scheduled interest and principal payments), is subject to a prepayment fee equal to 4% of the principal amount prepaid for any prepayment made during the first or second year, 3% of the principal amount prepaid for any prepayment made during the third or fourth year, 2% of the principal amount prepaid for any prepayment made during the fifth or sixth year, and 1% of the principal amount prepaid for any prepayment made during the seventh or eighth year. The Property Loan Agreement, Property Note, Deed, and Rents Assignment each contain representations, warranties, covenants, and events of default that are customary for a loan of this type. The balance owed on the Property Loan at December 31, 2022 is $4,842,000.

 

On the Closing Date, we also entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with MBT (the “Amended Credit Agreement”), providing for a $7,525,000 amended and restated term loan (the “Term Loan A”), a $1,000,000 term loan (the “Term Loan B”), and a $2,000,000 amended and restated revolving loan, evidenced by an Amended and Restated Term Note A (“Term Note A”), a Term Note B, and an Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Note (the “Revolving Note”) made by us in favor of MBT. The loans under the Amended Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets pursuant to a Security Agreement entered into on September 6, 2018, between the Company and MBT. The Term Note A had an outstanding principal balance of $3,770,331 as of the Closing Date and could be borrowed against through May 30, 2021 (the “Commitment Period”). During the third quarter ended March 31, 2021, we borrowed an additional $3,000,000 against Term Note A for the purpose of repurchasing shares of our common stock. The Term Note B had a zero balance as of the Closing Date and we borrowed the full $1,000,000 during the third quarter ended March 31, 2021, for the purpose of making improvements to the Franklin Property.

 

The Term Loan A matures on November 1, 2027, and bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.84% per annum. Initial payments on the Term Loan A of interest only were due on December 1, 2020 through June 1, 2021. Commencing July 1, 2021 and continuing on the first day of each month thereafter until the maturity date, we are required to make payments of principal and interest on Term Loan A of approximately $97,000 plus any additional accrued and unpaid interest through the date of payment. The balance owed on Term Loan A as of December 31, 2022, is $5,317,000.

 

The Term Loan B matures on November 1, 2027, and bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.84% per annum. Initial payments on the Term Loan B of interest only were due on December 1, 2020 through June 1, 2021. Commencing July 1, 2021 and continuing on the first day of each month thereafter until the maturity date, we are required to make payments of principal and interest on Term Loan B of approximately $15,000, plus any additional accrued and unpaid interest through the date of payment. The balance owing on Term Note B was $792,000 on December 31, 2022.

On December 29, 2022 (the “Amendment Date”), we entered into Amendment No. 2 to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”) with MBT, which amends the Amended Credit Agreement and provides for a supplemental line of credit in the amount of $3,000,000 (the “Supplemental Loan”). The Supplemental Loan is evidenced by a Supplemental Revolving Credit Note (the “Supplemental Note”) made by us in favor of MBT. The purpose of the Supplemental Loan is for financing acquisitions and repurchasing shares of our common stock. The Supplemental Loan may be borrowed against from time to time through its maturity date of December 29, 2024, on the terms set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2022, no amounts have been drawn against the Supplemental Loan.

 

The Revolving Loan was also amended (the “Amended Revolving Loan”) in connection with the Amendment to extend the maturity date of the from November 5, 2023 to December 29, 2024, to increase the Revolving Loan facility from $2,000,000 to $7,000,000, and to increase the interest rate on the Revolving Loan (as described below), evidenced by an Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Note (the “Amended Revolving Note”) made by us in favor of MBT. The Amended Revolving Loan may be borrowed against from time to time by us through its maturity date on the terms set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2022, we had drawn $1,800,000 against the Amended Revolving Loan. Loan origination fees in the amount of $16,000 are payable to MBT in conjunction with the Revolving Loan and the Supplemental Loan.

 

The Amended Revolving Loan and Supplemental Loan bear interest at an annual rate equal to the greater of (a) 5.0% or (b) SOFR for a one-month period from the website of the CME Group Benchmark Administration Limited plus 2.5% (the “Adjusted Term SOFR Rate”). Commencing on the first day of each month after we initially borrow against the Amended Revolving Loan and/or the Supplemental Loan and each month thereafter until maturity, we are required to pay all accrued and unpaid interest on the Amended Revolving Loan and Supplemental Loan through the date of payment. Any principal on the Amended Revolving Loan and/or Supplemental Loan that is not previously prepaid shall be due and payable in full on the maturity date (or earlier termination of the Amended Revolving Loan and/or Supplemental Loan).

 

Any payment on the Term Loan A, the Term Loan B, the Amended Revolving Loan or the Supplemental Loan (collectively, the “Loans”) not made within seven days after the due date is subject to a late payment fee equal to 5% of the overdue amount. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default, the interest rate of all Loans will be increased by 3% and MBT may, at its option, declare all of the Loans immediately due and payable in full.

 

The Amended Credit Agreement, Amended Security Agreement, Term Note A, Term Note B, Amended Revolving Note and Supplemental Note contain representations and warranties, affirmative, negative and financial covenants, and events of default that are customary for loans of this type. We believe that we are in compliance with all of our debt covenants as of December 31, 2022, but there can be no assurance that we will remain in compliance for the duration of the term of these loans.

NOTE 11. COMMON STOCK

Share Repurchase Program

In December 2019, our Board approved a new share repurchase program authorizing us to repurchase up to one million shares of our common stock, as the prior repurchase plan authorized by our Board in 2013 was nearing completion. In accordance with, and as part of, these share repurchase programs, our Board approved the adoption of several prearranged share repurchase plans intended to qualify for the safe harbor provided by Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“10b5-1 Plan” or “Plan”). During the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, we repurchased 53,993 and 74,846 shares, respectively, at an aggregate cost, inclusive of fees under the Plan, of $995,000 and $1.3 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2021, we repurchased 24,336 and 27,952 shares, respectively, at an aggregate cost, inclusive of fees under the Plan, of $577,000 and $672,000, respectively. On a cumulative basis, since implementation of the share repurchase program in 2013, we have repurchased a total of 1,185,582 shares under the share repurchase program at an aggregate cost, inclusive of fees, of $17.0 million. All repurchases under the 10b5-1 Plans were administered through an independent broker.

At The Market Offering Agreement

 

In December 2020, our Board approved an ATM Agreement with Ascendiant Capital Markets, LLC (“Ascendiant”). The ATM Agreement allows us to sell shares of our common stock in transactions that are deemed to be “at-the-market” equity offerings as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including sales made by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions, including on Nasdaq. In connection with the ATM Agreement, we entered into a prearranged stock sales plan with Ascendiant, which is intended to qualify for the safe harbor under Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act (“ATM 10b5-1 Plan”). No sales of common stock have been made under the ATM Agreement as of the date of this report, but future sales may occur pursuant to the parameters of the ATM 10b5-1 Plan or otherwise at the direction of our Board in accordance with the terms of the ATM Agreement.

Basis of Presentation

 

The condensed consolidated results of operations 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, 2023, 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. 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 six months ended December 31, 2022, 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, 2022.

 

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. During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, our largest customer executed an amendment to our existing supply agreement such that we shall continue to supply their surgical handpieces to them through calendar 2025.

 

Simultaneously, we are working to build top-line sales through active proposals of new medical device products with new and existing customers. Our patented adaptive torque-limiting software has been very well received in the CMF and thoracic markets. Additionally, we have other significant engineering projects under way described more fully below under “Results of Operations”.

 

In November 2020, we purchased an approximate 25,000 square foot industrial building in Tustin, California (the “Franklin Property”). This building is located approximately four miles from our Irvine, California headquarters and was acquired to provide us additional capacity for our expected continued future growth, including anticipated expanded capacity for the manufacture of batteries and new products. We completed the build-out of the property during fiscal 2022 and we received U.S. Food and Drug Administration authorization to commence manufacturing activities during the first quarter of fiscal 2023. We are currently performing various verification and validation activities for both equipment and processes, which includes the validation of our new clean room and we expect that we will begin operations in the new facility during the third quarter of this fiscal year.

 

In summary, our current objectives are focused primarily on maintaining our relationships with our current medical device customers, expanding our manufacturing capacity with the addition of the Franklin Property, investing in research and development activities to design Pro-Dex branded drivers to leverage our torque-limiting software, and promoting active product development proposals to new and existing customers for orthopedic shavers, screw drivers for a multitude of surgical applications, and other medical devices, while monitoring closely the progress of all these individual endeavors. Our investments in research and development have historically increased disproportionately to our growth in revenue and we anticipate this may continue in future periods. These expenditures are being made in an effort to release new products and garner new customer relationships. This fiscal year, however, the majority of our engineering efforts relate to customer funded NRE projects, which costs are reclassified to cost of sales. While we expect revenue growth in the future, it may not be a consistent trajectory but rather periods of incremental growth that current expenditures are helping to create. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in any of these objectives.

COVID-19 Pandemic

 

We have adjusted certain policies and procedures based on applicable national, state, and local emergency orders and safety guidance that may be issued from time to time, in order to effectively manage our business during the pandemic and to keep our employees safe. These measures have changed over time and continue to change as our specific circumstances change.

 

While we have yet to see any significant decline in our customer orders, we have received and accepted some customer requests to delay the shipment of their existing orders. We provide our largest customer with a device used primarily in elective surgeries and although this customer has not requested a reduction or delay to their planned shipments, if this pandemic continues to adversely impact the United States and other markets where our products are sold, coupled with the recommended deferrals of elective procedures by governments and other authorities, we would expect to see a decline in demand from certain of our customers, including our principal customer.

 

We are focused on the health and safety of all those we serve – our customers, our communities, our employees, and our suppliers. We are supporting our customers according to their priorities and working with them to the degree that we can offer relief in the form of delayed shipments. We are focused on continuity of supply by working with our suppliers, some of whom have delivered our orders late and are quoting longer lead times.

 

During fiscal 2022, we began to see some challenges in our supply chain in the form of delayed shipments, longer lead times, higher prices, and surcharges, much of which our suppliers indicate have been caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. We have largely been able to mitigate our biggest supply chain concerns by sourcing replacement chips through alternative suppliers, albeit at much higher prices, for many of our printed circuit board assemblies. In so doing, our cost of sales increased during the second half of fiscal 2022 and thus far in fiscal 2023. We continue to implement plans and processes to mitigate these challenges that many manufacturers similarly face. Our long-term prospects remain positive, and we believe these challenges will negatively impact us only in the short-term.

Certain of our medical device products utilize proprietary designs developed by us under exclusive development and/or 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 industrial products. Details of our medical device sales by type is as follows (in thousands, except percentages):

Sales of our medical device products increased $0.4 million, or 4%, for the three months ended December 31, 2022, and decreased slightly by $32,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2022, compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year.

 

Sales of our compact pneumatic air motors, reported as Industrial and scientific sales above, decreased $30,000, or 13%, and $23,000, or 5%, respectively, for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year. These are legacy products with no substantive marketing efforts. Our non-recurring (“NRE”) and proto-type revenue increased $368,000, or 320%, and $1.1 million, or 347%, for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year, due to an increase in billable contracts for various NRE projects undertaken for our customers.

 

Repair revenue increased $521,000, or 33%, and $1.3 million, or 43%, respectively, for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year, and are primarily comprised of repairs of handpieces for our largest customer. This increase was expected as we have been asked to upgrade handpieces to the next generation, which design was released to manufacture in the third quarter of fiscal 2022. We expect to continue to see increases in repair revenue for the remainder of this fiscal year because our largest customer has requested, beginning in December 2022, that we perform an enhanced repair on each handpiece, which includes the advance replacement of certain components.

 

At December 31, 2022, we had a backlog of approximately $20.7 million, of which $12.0 million is scheduled to be delivered in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2023 and the balance is scheduled to be delivered next fiscal year and beyond. Our backlog represents firm purchase orders received and acknowledged from our customers and does not include all revenue expected to be generated from existing customer contracts. 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 and six months ended December 31, 2022, increased $1.9 million, or 28%, and $3.5 million, or 26%, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year. Although some of the increase in cost of sales is consistent with the 11% increase in revenue for the same periods, approximately $432,000 and $882,000, of the increases, respectively, relate to the more costly repairs performed to upgrade the orthopedic handpieces we sell our largest customer to the newest release at no additional cost. In late December 2022 we began an enhanced repair program, which has an agreed upon repair price, such that we should see improvement in our margins in the second half of fiscal 2023. That said, however, we are continuing to negotiate with our largest customer to recover the additional cost of the repairs completed in the first half of this fiscal year. Additionally, under-absorption for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, increased $448,000, or 180%, and $875,000, or 858%, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year, primarily due to the growth of indirect costs in our machine shop, materials, assembly and quality departments outpacing actual production hours.

 

Gross profit decreased by $781,000, or 23%, and $1.2 million, or 18%, for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year, primarily as a result of the increase in repair costs for our largest customer’s handpiece as well as higher indirect costs in our machine shop, assembly, materials and quality departments. Gross margin as a percentage of sales for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022 decreased by approximately eleven and nine percentage points, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year due to higher cost of sales described above.

Selling expenses consist of salaries and other personnel-related expenses for our business development department, 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 six months ended December 31, 2022 increased $46,000 and $63,000, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods of fiscal 2022. The increase is primarily due to increased sales commissions.

 

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 decreased $214,000 and $282,000, respectively, during the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, when compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year. The decreases relate primarily to reduced legal expenses related to employment matters and reduced non-cash compensation expense related to stock compensation, offset by increased legal fees related to intellectual property matters.

 

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 six months ended December 31, 2022 decreased $148,000 and $201,000, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year. These decreases are primarily due to increased personnel related expenses offset by decreased spending on internal development projects. When our engineers are engaged in billable projects as opposed to internal projects, costs get shifted to cost of sales instead of research and development.

Although the majority of our research and development costs relate to sustaining activities related to products we currently manufacture and sell, we have created a product roadmap to develop future products. The research and development costs represent between 31% and 41% of total operating expenses for all periods presented and are expected to increase in the future as we continue to invest in our business. The amount spent on internal projects under development is summarized below (in thousands):

(2)The products in development include risks that they could be abandoned in the future prior to completion, they could fail to become commercialized, or the actual annual revenue realized may be less than the amount estimated.

 

As we introduce new products into the market, we expect to see an increase in sustaining and other engineering expenses. Typical examples of sustaining engineering activities include, but are not limited to, end-of- life component replacement, especially in electronic components found in our printed circuit board assemblies, analysis of customer complaint data to improve process and design, replacement and enhancement of tooling and fixtures used in our machine shop, assembly operations, and inspection areas to improve efficiency and through-put. Additionally, these costs include development projects that may be in their infancy and may or may not result in a full-fledged product development effort or projects that are later abandoned. For instance, in prior filings we included expenses related to the VITAL ventilator product, which we have removed from the table above because we did not spend any resources on this project in the first half of fiscal 2023 and we do not expect to in the foreseeable future.

 

Interest & Other Income

 

Interest income for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 includes interest and dividends from our money market accounts and investment portfolio.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense consists primarily of interest expense related to our Minnesota Bank and Trust (“MBT”) loans described more fully in Note 10 to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this report.

 

Income Tax Expense

 

The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 is slightly less than our combined expected federal and applicable state corporate income tax rates due to federal and state research credits.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2022 decreased $467,000 to $382,000 as compared to $849,000 at June 30, 2022. The following table includes a summary of our condensed statements of cash flows contained elsewhere in this report.

Cash and Working Capital:          
Cash and cash equivalents  $382   $5,252 
Working Capital  $19,722   $20,117 

 

Operating Activities

 

Net cash provided by operating activities was $2.5 million for the six months ended December 31, 2022, primarily due to net income of $2.0 million and non-cash depreciation and amortization of $385,000 offset by unrealized gains on marketable securities in the amount of $408,000. Accounts receivable net collections amounted to $3.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2022, offset by expenditures of $2.5 million for inventory, based primarily upon a forecast received from our largest customer, which later was reduced. Although current inventory levels exceed immediate requirements for this customer, they do not exceed the amounts that they will eventually purchase contractually.

 

Net cash provided by operating activities was $4.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2021, primarily due to net income of $2.0 million and non-cash stock-based compensation and depreciation and amortization of $575,000 and $366,000, respectively. Although we experienced an influx of cash in the amount of $2.1 million in collections from receivables during the six months ended December 31, 2021, our inventory increased by $848,000.

 

Investing Activities

 

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended December 31, 2022 was $598,000 and related mostly to improvements and equipment primarily for the Franklin Property.

 

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended December 31, 2021 was $1.4 million and related to an investment in marketable securities of $334,000 and equipment and improvements primarily for the Franklin Property of $1.1 million.

 

Financing Activities

 

Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended December 31, 2022 included net principal payments of $839,000 on our existing loans from MBT more fully described in Note 10 to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this report, the repurchase of $1.3 million of our common stock pursuant to our share repurchase program, as well as $223,000 of employee payroll taxes related to the award of 37,500 shares of common stock to employees under previously granted performance awards.

 

Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended December 31, 2021 totaled $1.3 million and related primarily to the $672,000 repurchase of 27,952 shares of our common stock pursuant to our share repurchase program as well as $616,000 of principal payments on our loans from MBT.

Financing Facilities & Liquidity Requirements for the Next Twelve Months

 

As of December 31, 2022, our working capital was $19.7 million. We currently believe that our existing cash and cash equivalent balances together with our accounts receivable balances will provide us sufficient funds to satisfy our cash requirements as our business is currently conducted for at least the next 12 months. In addition to our cash and cash equivalent balances, we expect to derive a portion of our liquidity from our cash flows from operations. We may also borrow against our $7.0 million Amended Revolving Loan with MBT (See Note 10 to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this report).

 

We are focused on preserving our cash balances by monitoring expenses, identifying cost savings, and investing only in those development programs and products that we believe will most likely contribute to our profitability. As we execute on our current strategy, however, we may require debt and/or equity capital to fund our working capital needs and requirements for capital equipment to support our manufacturing and inspection processes. In particular, we have experienced negative operating cash flow in the past, especially as we procure long-lead time materials to satisfy our backlog, which can be subject to extensive variability. We believe that if we need to raise additional capital to fund our operations we can do so by borrowing against our Amended Revolving Loan or by selling additional shares of our common stock under the ATM Agreement. (See Note 11 to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this report).

 

Investment Strategy

 

We invest surplus cash from time to time through our Investment Committee, which is comprised of one management director, Richard Van Kirk, and two non-management directors, Raymond Cabillot and Nicholas Swenson, who chairs the committee. Both Mr. Cabillot and Mr. Swenson are active investors with extensive portfolio management expertise. We leverage the experience of these committee members to make investment decisions for the investment of our surplus operating capital or borrowed funds. Additionally, many of our securities holdings include stocks of public companies that either Messrs. Swenson or Cabillot or both may own from time to time either individually or through the investment funds that they manage, or other companies whose boards they sit on. The Investment Committee approved each of the investments comprising the $2.9 million of marketable public equity securities that we held at December 31, 2022.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer) have concluded based on their evaluation as of December 31, 2022 that our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”)) are effective. 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 officer and principal financial officer and principal accounting officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

During the three months ended December 31, 2022, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-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.
