(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 (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and applicable provisions of 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, 2024. 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, 2024.
Recently Issued and Not Yet Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The ASU’s purpose is to improve the disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses and address requests from investors for more detailed information about the types of expenses (including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and depletion) in commonly presented expense captions (such as cost of sales, SG&A, and research and development). This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating these new expanded disclosure requirements, but this standard will not impact our results of operations or financial position.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes: Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740). ASU 2023-09 expands the existing rules on income tax disclosures. This update requires entities to disclose specific categories in the tax rate reconciliation, provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold and disclose additional information about income taxes paid on an annual basis. The new disclosure requirements are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating these new expanded disclosure requirements, but this standard will not impact our results of operations or financial position.
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 that 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 in November 2020, 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.

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 nine months ended March

NOTE 4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the use of various valuation methodologies, including market, income, and cost approaches is permissible. We consider the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.
Fair Value Hierarchy. The accounting guidance for fair value measurements establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value based on the reliability of inputs. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.
We have categorized our cash equivalents and investments within the fair value hierarchy as follows:
Level 1 – applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. These Level 1 assets include our money market accounts, which are classified as cash equivalents. We have categorized our cash equivalents as Level 1 assets as there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by observable market data. At March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2024, we have categorized our investments in marketable equity securities as Level 2 assets.
Level 3 – applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. We held no Level 3 assets or liabilities at March 31, 2025 or June 30, 2024.

Both Messrs. Cabillot and Swenson are active investors with extensive portfolio management expertise. We leverage the experience of these committee members to make investment decisions for our surplus operating capital or borrowed funds. Additionally, many of our securities holdings include stocks of public companies that either Messrs. Cabillot or Swenson or both may own from time to time either individually or through the investment funds they manage, or other companies whose boards they sit on, such as Air T, Inc.

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 used in the calculation of diluted income per share reflects the effects of potentially dilutive securities, in income generating periods, which consist entirely of outstanding stock options, restricted shares, and performance awards.

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 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 March 31, 2025 and 2024, we recognized accrued interest of $
We are subject to U.S. federal income tax, as well as income tax of California and Colorado. We were also subject to income tax of Massachusetts through fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. Our U.S. federal income taxes are currently open to audit under the statute of limitations by the Internal Revenue Service for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2021 and after. However, because of our prior net operating losses and research credit carryovers, our tax years from June 30, 2013 and after are open to audit. We do not anticipate a significant change to the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.
Our 2016 Equity Incentive Plan provides for the award of up to
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 March 31, 2025, performance awards for shares of common stock, non-qualified stock options for shares of common stock, and restricted shares of common stock have been granted under the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan.

Performance Awards
In October 2023, the Compensation Committee reallocated previously forfeited performance awards for
shares of common stock, having the same remaining terms and conditions, to other employees. The weighted average fair value of the performance awards reallocated in 2023 was $ , calculated using the weighted average fair market value for each award, using a Monte Carlo simulation. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we recorded share-based compensation expense of $ and $ , respectively, related to outstanding performance awards. During the nine months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we recorded share-based compensation expense of $ and $ , respectively, related to outstanding performance awards. On March 31, 2025, there was approximately $ of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested performance awards expected to be expensed over the weighted-average period of years.On July 1, 2024, it was determined by the Compensation Committee that the vesting of performance awards for
shares of common stock had been achieved. Each participant elected a net issuance to cover their individual withholding taxes and, therefore, we issued participants shares of common stock and paid $ of participant-related payroll tax liabilities.
Non-Qualified Stock Options
In December 2020, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors granted
non-qualified stock options to our directors and certain employees under the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan. The weighted average fair value of the stock options granted was $ , calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation. 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 at a weighted average fair value of $6.69 calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we recorded compensation expense of $ and $ , respectively, related to these stock options. During the nine months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we recorded compensation expense of $ and $ , respectively, related to these stock options. As of March 31, 2025, of these stock options have vested and there was approximately $ million of unrecognized compensation cost related to the non-vested non-qualified stock options.Restricted Shares
In November 2024, the Compensation Committee awarded
restricted shares of common stock to our directors and certain employees under the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan. The fair value of the restricted shares on the date of grant was $ , based upon the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2025, we recorded $ and $ , respectively, of compensation expense related to these restricted shares. As of March 31, 2025, there was approximately $ of unrecognized compensation cost related to these restricted shares.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 our
2014 Annual Meeting. The ESPP conforms to the provisions of Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code, has coterminous

NOTE 12. 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 months ended March 31, 2025, we did
t repurchase any shares. During the nine months ended March 31, 2025, we repurchased shares at an aggregate cost, inclusive of fees under the Plan of $ million. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024, we repurchased and shares, respectively, at an aggregate cost, inclusive of fees under the Plan, of $ and $ , respectively. On a cumulative basis, since implementation of the share repurchase program in 2013, we have repurchased a total of shares under the share repurchase program at an aggregate cost of $ million. All repurchases under the 10b5-1 Plans were administered through an independent broker.NOTE 13. LEASES

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-month and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. 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, our ability to optimize our operations at our Franklin facility, consolidation within our target marketplace and among our competitors, the impact of tariffs on the cost of our raw materials and purchased components, employee turnover, 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, 2024.
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 (“CMF”) 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.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments
Our condensed 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 nine months ended March 31, 2025 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, 2024.
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 and we are currently in discussions with them to renew the agreement.
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.
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 began operations in the new facility during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 and believe that the additional capacity will allow for our continued expected growth.
Our current objectives are focused primarily on maintaining our relationships with our current medical device customers, investing in research and development activities to design unique medical devices as well as Pro-Dex branded drivers to leverage our torque-limiting software, expanding our manufacturing capacity through the continuation of operations at the Franklin Property, and promoting 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. 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.

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, and are assembled in our Tustin, California facility, along with 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 $2.1 million, or 22%, and $7.5 million, or 28%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year. Our medical device revenue to our largest customer, included in orthopedic sales above, increased $1.8 million and $7.5 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year due primarily to the launch of that customer’s next generation handpiece. As can be common with new product launches in the industry, the customer’s internal design of the next generation handpiece continues to evolve, and the customer has recently informed us that it is holding off on next generation handpiece shipments in favor of continued shipments and enhanced repair of the legacy handpieces as the customer continues to refine the next generation handpiece’s design. Although we cannot predict the timing of the customer’s further transition to the next generation handpiece at this time, we fully anticipate a resumption of shipments of the next generation handpiece once the design enhancements are finalized, coupled with larger orders of the legacy handpiece during the interim. Additionally, recurring revenue from distributors of thoracic drivers increased $182,000 and $272,000, respectively, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year. Our CMF sales revenue increased $107,000 and decreased $246,000, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2025, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year. While we do not have much visibility into our customers’ distribution networks, this level of change in thoracic and CMF sales (whether an increase or decrease) is not uncommon and fluctuations occur based upon required inventory levels.
Sales of our compact pneumatic air motors, reported as industrial and scientific sales above, increased $54,000, or 26%, and decreased $15,000, or 3%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year. These are legacy products with no substantive marketing efforts. Our NRE and proto-type revenue decreased $48,000, or 21%, and $488,000, or 64%, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year, due to a decrease in billable contracts for various NRE projects undertaken for our customers.
Sales of our dental products and components decreased $17,000, or 27%, and $28,000, or 19%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year. We expect future declines in this area as we are no longer manufacturing dental products, but rather are simply selling remaining component inventory.
Repair revenue increased $666,000 or 15%, and $3.3 million, or 29%, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2025, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year primarily due to an increased number of repairs of the orthopedic handpiece we sell to our largest customer. This increase relates to the continuation of the previously disclosed enhanced repair program.
20 |
At March 31, 2025, we had a backlog of approximately $49.5 million, of which $12.8 million is scheduled to be delivered in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 and the balance is scheduled to be delivered next fiscal year. 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 months ended March 31, 2025, increased $1.3 million, or 13%, compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. The increase in total costs of sales is consistent with the 22% increase in revenue for the same period. Under-absorption of manufacturing costs increased by $254,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. During the third quarter of fiscal 2025 we increased our assembly department labor and overhead rates to reduce the under absorption of our indirect costs. Costs relating to inventory and warranty charges decreased $111,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year, due to a slight decrease in both inventory reserves and warranty accruals.
Gross profit increased by approximately $1.8 million, or 45%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year, primarily as a result of the increase in medical device and repair revenue for the same periods as described above. Gross margin as a percentage of sales increased by approximately 5 percentage points compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year due primarily to favorable product mix.
Cost of sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2025, increased by 4.7 million, or 17%, compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. The increase in total costs of sales is consistent with the 27% increase in revenue for the same period. Under-absorption of manufacturing costs increased by $2.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year and as discussed above we have increased our assembly labor and overhead rates to better absorb our indirect manufacturing costs. Inventory and warranty charges decreased slightly by approximately $49,000, or 14%, for the nine months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year.

Gross profit increased by $5.6 million, or 53%, for the nine months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year, primarily as a result of the increase in medical device and repair revenue for the same periods as described above. Gross margin as a percentage of sales increased by 6 percentage points compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year primarily related to a more favorable product mix.

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 nine months ended March 31, 2025, increased $96,000, or 565%, and $132,000, or 167%, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods of fiscal 2024. The increase relates primarily to recruiting fees and personnel costs related to our new Director of Business Development who we hired in December, 2024.
General and administrative expenses (“G&A”) consist of salaries and other personnel-related expenses of our accounting, finance, facilities, business systems, 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 $86,000 and $524,000, respectively, during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2025, when compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year. The increases relate primarily to increased bonus accruals, personnel costs, and legal expenses, offset by decreased audit fees and stock compensation expense.
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, 2025, increased $187,000, or 25%, and $378,000, or 16%, compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year. This relates to an increase in legal fees related to intellectual property matters as well as an increase in spending related to in-house battery production and sustaining engineering efforts related to our existing products.
The majority of our research and development costs relate to sustaining activities related to products we currently manufacture and sell, but we also have created a product roadmap to develop future products. Many of our product development efforts are undertaken only upon completion of an analysis of the size of the market, our ability to differentiate our product from our competitors’, as well as an analysis of our specific sales prospects with new and/or existing customers. The research and development costs represent between 41% and 44% of total operating expenses for all periods presented and are expected to increase in the future as we continue to invest in product development efforts.

Interest & Other Income
Interest income for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, includes interest and dividends from our money market accounts and investment portfolio.
Interest Expense
Interest expense consists primarily of interest expense related to the notes payable described more fully in Note 11 to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this report.
Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Marketable Equity Investments
The unrealized gain (loss) on marketable equity investments relates to our investment portfolio more fully described in Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this report. All of these investments are recorded at estimated fair value and as of March 31, 2025, all of these investments relate to common stock of publicly traded companies whose stock price is subject to significant volatility.
Gain on Sale of Investments
During the third quarter ended March 31, 2025, we sold some of the stocks in our portfolio of equity investments receiving proceeds of $1.9 million and recording a gain on the sale in the amount of $595,000.
Income Tax Expense
The effective tax rate for each of the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was 28%. These tax rates are consistent with our combined expected federal and applicable state corporate income tax rates. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was 26% and 23%, respectively, and is less than our combined expected federal and applicable state corporate income tax rates due to a tax benefit recognized as a result of common stock awarded to employees under previously granted performance awards in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 as described more fully in Note 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this report, and to the release of a valuation allowance in the prior fiscal year related to previously recognized unrealized losses on investments.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2025, increased $1.9 million to $4.5 million as compared to $2.6 million at June 30, 2024. The following table includes a summary of our condensed statements of cash flows contained elsewhere in this report.

Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $1.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to net income of $7.8 million including realized gains on the sale of investments in the amount of $595,000 offset by an $8.2 million increase in inventory and a $2.0 million increase in receivables. Offsetting these uses of cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses increased by $1.6 million. The increases in these balance sheet accounts reflect our continued and expected future revenue growth.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $5.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to net income of $540,000, non-cash unrealized losses on marketable equity investments of $3.8 million, depreciation and amortization of $854,000, share-based compensation of $588,000 as well as a decrease in inventory of $1.9 million. Offsetting these sources of cash, our accounts receivable increased by $2.6 million consistent with our increase in revenue.
Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2025, was $754,000 and relates to the sale of some of our marketable securities for $1.9 million offset by purchases of capital equipment and improvements of $1.2 million.
Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, was $2.1 million and related to the exercise of the Monogram Warrant for cash in the amount of $1,250,000 (See Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this report) as well as equipment and improvements purchases in the amount of $876,000.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2025, totaled $2.6 million and related primarily to the net increase in borrowings of $6.4 million from Minnesota Bank & Trust (“MBT”) more fully described in Note 11 to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this report offset by $3.5 million attributable to the repurchase of 130,148 shares of our common stock pursuant to our share repurchase program.
Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, totaled $2.8 million and related primarily to the $1.8 million repurchase of 96,890 shares of our common stock pursuant to our share repurchase program as well as $990,000 of net principal payments on our loans from MBT more fully described in Note 11 to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this report.
Financing Facilities & Liquidity Requirements for the next twelve months
As of March 31, 2025, our working capital was $31.6 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 liquidate some or all of our investment portfolio or borrow further against our $11.0 million Amended Revolving Loan with MBT (see Note 11 to condensed consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this report), which we amended in April 2025 in order to provide us additional borrowing capacity.
We are focused on preserving our cash balances by monitoring expenses, identifying cost savings, and investing only in those development programs and products that we believe will most likely contribute to our profitability. As we execute our current strategy, however, we may require debt and/or equity capital to fund our working capital needs and requirements for capital equipment to support our manufacturing and inspection processes. In particular, we have experienced negative operating cash flow in the past, especially as we procure long-lead time materials to satisfy our backlog, which can be subject to extensive variability.

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 Messrs. Cabillot and 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. Cabillot or Swenson 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 $5.5 million of marketable public equity securities held at March 31, 2025.
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 (our principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer and principal accounting officer) have concluded based on their evaluation as of March 31, 2025, 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 not effective due to a material weakness. 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, 2025, 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. |
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a company’s annual and interim financial statements will not be detected or prevented on a timely basis. A material weakness was discovered relating to controls related to the existence of inventory during fiscal 2024 and we are continuing to remediate this weakness. While we believe that our inventory exists and is accurately recorded and properly valued at March 31, 2025, we are continuing to expand our internal controls over the existence of inventory and hired a warehouse manager in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 to ensure that we successfully implement effective standard operating procedures, provide adequate training to stockroom personnel, and continue our cycle count procedures.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, 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.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS |
See Note 14 to condensed consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this report.
ITEM 1A. | RISK FACTORS |
Our business, future financial condition, and results of operations are subject to a number of factors, risks and uncertainties, which are disclosed in Item 1A, entitled “Risk Factors” in Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, as well as any amendments thereto or additions and changes thereto contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. Additional information regarding some of those risks and uncertainties is contained in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report and in Part I, Item 2, entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” The risks and uncertainties disclosed in our Form 10-K, our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and other reports filed with the SEC are not necessarily all of the risks and uncertainties that may affect our business, financial condition and results of operations in the future. There have been no material changes to the risk factors as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, except as provided in any amendments thereto and those set forth below.
Recently proposed tariffs could have a negative effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity.
Starting in the first quarter of 2025, the United States government announced additional tariffs on goods imported into the U.S. from numerous countries and multiple nations countered with reciprocal tariffs and other actions in response. The U.S. government stated that it is willing to negotiate with other countries regarding the tariffs. While we manufacture our products locally, we source raw materials and purchased components through an extensive supply chain, and the tariffs may negatively impact demand and result in an increase in some product costs. We are currently analyzing the impacts of tariffs and actions that can be taken to moderate and/or minimize their effects.
