Item 1.      Description of Business

Company Overview

 Pro-Dex, Inc. ("Company," "Pro-Dex", "we," "our,", "us"), with operations in Santa Ana, California, Beaverton, Oregon and Carson City, Nevada, specializes in bringing speed to market in the development and manufacture of technology-based solutions that incorporate embedded motion control, miniature rotary drive systems and fractional horsepower DC motors, serving the medical, dental, semi-conductor, scientific research and aerospace markets. Pro-Dex's products are found in hospitals, dental offices, medical engineering labs, commercial and military aircraft, scientific research facilities and high tech manufacturing operations around the world. The company names of Micro Motors, Oregon Micro Systems, and Astromec are used for marketing purposes as brand names.

Pro-Dex's principal headquarters are located at 151 E. Columbine Avenue, Santa Ana, California 92707 and our phone number is 714-241-4411.  Our Internet address is www.pro-dex.com.  Our annual reports on Form 10-KSB, quarterly reports on Form 10-QSB, current reports on Form 8-K, amendments to those reports and other Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") filings, are available free of charge through our website as soon as reasonably practicable after such reports are electronically filed with, or furnished to, the SEC.  In addition, our Code of Ethics and other corporate governance documents may be found on our website at the Internet address set forth above.  Our filings with the SEC may also be read and copied at the SEC's Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549.  You may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330.  The SEC maintains an Internet site that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC at www.sec.gov. 

Description of Business

The majority of our revenue is derived from designing, developing and manufacturing rotary drive systems for the medical device and dental industries, motion control software and hardware for industrial and scientific applications and fractional horsepower DC motors for aerospace, medical and military applications. The Company distributes its own line of pneumatic and electric dental hand pieces sold under the Micro Motors name utilizing a network of independent sales representatives across North America.  A large part of the revenue of the Company has been driven by developing and selling numerous private label rotary drive systems for use in dental, cranial, spinal, arthroscopic and orthopedic surgery.  Other revenue sources include designing and manufacturing miniature pneumatic motors, fractional horsepower DC motors and motion control systems for industrial applications in the automotive, aerospace, and apparel industries.

All years relating to financial data herein shall refer to fiscal years ending June 30, unless indicated otherwise.

Company-funded research and development supports the development of generic rotary drive, motion control and electric motor technology platforms.  We seek customer-funded projects to customize these platforms to specific customer requirements.  Company-funded research and development projects are generally expected to convert to customer-funded projects within six to eighteen months.  Company funded research and development costs not associated with contracts or purchase orders are expensed as incurred.  In the year ended June 30, 2006, $2,009,000 was expensed; an increase of $269,000 from the $1,740,000 expensed in the year ended June 30, 2005.  The addition of costs of Pro-Dex Astromec, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary established in January 2006, accounted for $164,000 of the increase and the remainder was attributable to increased internal costs and external engineering consulting fees for product improvement, specialty design and validation work. 

 

-4-



Customer-funded research and development provided $71,000 in revenue in the year ended June 30, 2006, and $566,000 in revenue in the year ended June 30, 2005, reflecting a decrease in development fees billable during the quarter as engineering efforts were focused on upgrading current products and supporting warranty work.  The results of customer-funded development work are intended to provide long-term exclusive manufacturing agreements and provide the customer with the retention of the intellectual property developed.  The identity of the customer is generally protected by a non-disclosure agreement.

For customer-funded development projects, costs are capitalized and recognized as a cost of sales when specific deliverables within the development contracts are produced, matching the costs to the revenue. In the year ended June 30, 2006, $54,000 was recognized as cost of sales, compared to $144,000 recognized as cost of sales in the year ended June 30, 2005, reflecting a decrease in costs associated with the development fees billable during the quarter.

The Company's revenue is derived from five main customer types.  The proportion of sales compared to Pro-Dex total sales, sales to each customer type and sales by location is noted in the table below:

Medical product sales represent the manufacture of products that utilize proprietary designs developed by the Company under exclusive design and supply agreements.  Our dental products are sold to original equipment manufacturers and dental product distributors.  An independent dealer network markets our own branded line of dental products, including Intraflow.  We also design and manufacture embedded multi-axis motion controllers used to regulate the motion of servo and stepper motors, predominantly for the factory automation and medical analysis equipment industries.  The controllers support the platforms for PCI, VME, ISA, and cPCI busses as well as stand-alone requirements.  In addition, we make and sell pneumatic motors for industrial applications that are marketed directly to end-users and through industrial supply distributors.  We added significant sales to the aerospace market with the purchase of the Astromec assets and establishing Pro-Dex Astromec in January 2006.  These products include highly reliable fractional horsepower DC motors designed for harsh environments. 

In 2006, the top 20 customers accounted for 73% of our sales, compared to 69% in 2005.  In 2006, our three largest customers accounted for 37% of such sales with one customer accounting for over 22% of our sales.  This compares to 2005 when our three largest customers accounted for 31% of our sales with the largest customer accounting for 17%.  One other customer accounted for over 10% in 2006 and there was no other customer accounting for over 10% of sales in 2005.  Our larger customers, based on revenue, include Smith and Nephew, Medtronics, Sullivan Schein, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories, Monogram, and Pemstar.  In some cases, disclosure of other larger customer names is prohibited by confidentiality agreements with such entities.  We have no plans to discontinue the sales relationships with our existing significant customers, and have no knowledge that these significant customers have any plans to discontinue their relationships with us, although the relationships may change over time.

-5-



All of the raw materials used to manufacture our products are purchased from various suppliers and are available from several sources. Precipart Corporation, Tyco Precision Interconnect and Transicoil are some examples of our key suppliers.  We consider our relationships with our suppliers and manufacturers to be good.  We do not intend to terminate any such relationship at this time, nor does management have knowledge that any supplier or manufacturer intends to terminate its relationship with Pro-Dex.  Pro-Dex has no exclusive arrangements with any of its suppliers or manufacturers.

Our commitment to quality manufacturing is demonstrated by our three independently verified certifications for maintaining quality processes and products.  We hold the following certifications: ISO 9001:2000, ISO 13485 revised 1998, and Medical Device Directive 93\42\EEC Annex II company.

At the present time, we are generally able to fill orders for recurring product within sixty (60) days.  At June 30, 2006, we had a backlog, including orders for delivery beyond 60 days, of $11.7 million compared with a backlog of $10.7 million at March 31, 2006 and $7.9 million at June 30, 2005.  We expect to ship most of our backlog in fiscal year 2007 and the remainder in fiscal year 2008.  The increased backlog from 2005 is due to an increase in the number and size of new purchase orders in the last twelve months from existing customers and the addition of the Pro-Dex Astromec backlog of $1.8 million.  The increase from March, 2006 is due to the receipt of a large follow-on purchase order with a current customer.  We do not typically experience seasonal fluctuations in our new order bookings, but may experience variability in our new order bookings due to the timing of major new product launches.  Similarly, we do not typically experience seasonal fluctuations in our shipments and revenues.

We sell our products using several methods; selling directly to the customer, selling directly to original equipment manufacturers and selling through a network of high technology and dental product distributors within North America.  Internationally, the Company has sales agreements with foreign distributors or sells through the domestic subsidiaries of foreign customers.

Competition 

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

            We compete in all of our markets with other major healthcare, motion control and factory automation related companies. Competitive pressures and other factors, such as new product or new technology introductions by us or our competitors, may result in price or market share erosion that could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.  Also, there can be no assurance that our products and services will achieve broad market acceptance or will successfully compete with other products targeting the same customers.

Research and Development

We conduct company-funded and project specific customer funded research and development programs. These product development programs are important to both maintain and improve our market position. The net amounts spent on company funded research and development activities in 2006 and 2005 were approximately $2.01 million and $1.74 million, respectively.  Our research and development effort involves the design and manufacture of products that perform specific applications for our customers.  We continue to target our research and development expenses toward three goals:

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

  • general technical advances and

  • enhancements of current product lines.

One of our strategies is to continue to gain a greater commitment level from our customers to share research and development costs by billing them for non-recurring engineering expenses. The fees received for non-recurring engineering expenses do not, however, represent a significant portion of our revenue. 

Employees

At June 30, 2006, we had 122 full-time employees at three facilities compared to 92 full-time employees at June 30, 2005 at two facilities.  As of June 30, 2006, there were 86 persons employed at the Santa Ana location, 24 persons employed at the Carson City location and 12 persons employed at the Beaverton location compared to 79 persons employed at the Santa Ana location and 13 persons employed at the Beaverton location at June 30, 2005.  We have reduced the use of temporary labor from temporary staffing agencies and employed 2 agency temps at June 30, 2006, which is a decrease from 15 agency temps at June 30, 2005.

None of our employees are a party to any collective bargaining agreements with us. We consider our relationships with our employees to be good.

Government Regulations

Our manufacture and distribution of dental and medical devices are subject to a number of state and federal regulatory bodies, including state dental boards and the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"). The statutes, regulations, administrative orders, and advisories that affect the Company's businesses are complex and subject to diverse, often conflicting, interpretations. While we make every effort to maintain full compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, we are unable to eliminate an ongoing risk that one or more of our activities may at some point be determined to have been non-compliant. The penalties for non-compliance could range from an administrative warning to termination of a portion of our business.  Furthermore, even if we are subsequently determined to have fully complied with applicable laws or regulations, our costs to achieve such a determination and the intervening loss of business could adversely affect or even terminate a portion of our business. A change in such laws or regulations at any time may have an adverse effect on our operations. Notwithstanding the risks inherent in our business, management believes that our operations are in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

The FDA regulates our dental and medical products as Class 1, Class 2 and Class 3 medical devices.  The FDA has broad enforcement powers to recall and prohibit the sale of products that do not comply with federal regulations, and to order the cessation of non-compliant processes. No claim has been made to date by the FDA regarding any of our products or processes.  Nevertheless, as is common in the industry, certain of our products and processes have been the subject of routine governmental reviews and investigations. While our management is confident that our products and processes fully comply with applicable laws and regulations, we are unable to predict the outcome of any such investigation or review, pending its completion.

 

-7-



Management believes that our business is conducted in a manner consistent with Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") regulations governing disposition of industrial waste materials.  While our management is confident that our products and processes fully comply with applicable laws and regulations, we are unable to predict the outcome of any investigation or review which may in the future be undertaken with respect to our products or processes.

Management believes that we follow good manufacturing practices for all of our products at each of its locations.

Patents, Trademarks, and Licensing Agreements

We hold patents relating to multi-axis motion controllers and our miniature rotary drive products.  Our patents have varying expiration dates.  The expiration of the patents is not expected to cause any change in the Company's revenue generating operations.

We believe that the use of the patents acquired in connection with the 1995 OMS and Micro Motors acquisitions is neither infringed upon by any third party, nor infringes on any prior art of any third party.  We are unable to assess the validity, scope, or defensibility of our patents, and any challenge to or claim of infringement relating to our patents could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations, although management believes it is unlikely for a claim to have a material and adverse effect on our revenue generating operations.

We have certain trademarks relating to our miniature pneumatic motor products, including Dynatorq™, Dynasurg™, PDL™, and Micro Handpiece™. We have filed for federal trademark protection for OMS-EZ™ and Canaligator™.

We have not entered into any licensing or franchising agreements for revenue generating purposes, however we do have a royalty agreement in place for a previously designed product.  This income is reflected as "other income" and not "revenue".

RISK FACTORS

We face significant competition from a number of different sources.   

            The markets for healthcare, factory automation and small motor manufacturing industries are intensely competitive, and we face significant competition from a number of different sources.  Several of our competitors have significantly greater name recognition as well as substantially greater financial, technical, product development and marketing resources than us.

            We compete in all of our markets with other major healthcare, factory automation and small motor manufacturing related companies. Competitive pressures and other factors, such as new product or new technology introductions by us or our competitors may result in price or market share erosion that could have a material adverse effect on the our business, results of operations and financial condition. Also, there can be no assurance that our products and services will achieve broad market acceptance or will successfully compete with other products. 

 

 -8-



Our quarterly results can fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter.

            Our revenues have fluctuated in the past, and may fluctuate in the future from quarter to quarter and period to period, as a result of a number of factors including, without limitation: the size and timing of orders from customers; the length of new product development cycles; market acceptance of new technologies; changes in pricing policies or price reductions by us or our competitors; the timing of new product announcements and product introductions by us or our competitors; the financial stability of major customers; our success in expanding our sales and marketing programs; deferrals of customer orders and deliveries; changes in our strategy; personnel changes; and general market/economic factors.

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

Due to all of the foregoing factors, it is possible that in some future quarter(s), our operating results may be below the expectations of public market analysts and investors. In such event, the price of our Common Stock would likely be materially adversely affected.

A substantial portion of our business is derived from our three core business areas.

            We currently derive a substantial part of our net revenues from sales of our healthcare, factory automation and small motor products and services. We believe that a primary factor in the market acceptance of our product and services is the value that is created for our customers by those products and services. Our future financial performance will depend in large part on our ability to continue to meet the increasingly sophisticated needs of our customers through the timely development, successful introduction and implementation of new and enhanced products and services. We have historically expended a significant percentage of our net revenues on product development and believe that significant continued product development efforts will be required to sustain our growth. Continued investment in our sales and marketing efforts will also be required to support future growth.

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

The industry in which we operate is subject to significant technological change.

            The healthcare, factory automation and small motor markets are generally characterized by rapid technological change, changing customer needs, frequent new product introductions, and evolving industry standards. The introduction of products incorporating new technologies and the emergence of new industry standards could render the Company's existing products obsolete and unmarketable. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in developing and marketing new products that respond to technological changes or evolving industry standards.

            New product development requires significant research and development expenditures that are ultimately funded by sales growth.  Any significant decrease in revenues or research funding could impair our ability to respond to technological advances in the marketplace and to remain competitive. If we are unable, for technological or other reasons, to develop and introduce new products in a timely manner in response to changing market conditions or customer requirements, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be materially adversely affected.

-9-



            In response to increasing market demand, we are currently developing new products and updating existing products. There can be no assurance that we will successfully develop these new products or that these products will operate successfully, or that any such development, even if successful, will be completed concurrently with or prior to the introduction of competing products.  Any such failure or delay could adversely affect our competitive position or could make our current products obsolete.

We face the risks and uncertainties that are associated with litigation against us.

            We continually face the possibility of litigation as either a plaintiff or a defendant.  It is not reasonably possible to estimate the awards or damages, or the range of awards or damages, if any, that we might incur in connection with such litigation. The uncertainty associated with potential litigation may have an adverse impact on our business. In particular, such litigation could impair our relationships with existing customers and our ability to obtain new customers. Defending or prosecuting such litigation may result in a diversion of management's time and attention away from business operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

            There can be no assurance that such litigation will not result in liability in excess of our insurance coverage, that our insurance will cover such claims or that appropriate insurance will continue to be available to us in the future at commercially reasonable rates.

We rely heavily on our proprietary technology.

            We are dependent on the maintenance and protection of our intellectual property and rely on exclusive development and supply agreements, confidentiality procedures, and employee nondisclosure agreements to protect our intellectual property.

            There can be no assurance that the legal protections and precautions taken by us will be adequate to prevent misappropriation of our technology or that competitors will not independently develop technologies equivalent or superior to ours. Further, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect our proprietary rights to as great an extent as do the laws of the United States and are often not enforced as vigorously as those in the United States.

            We do not believe that our operations or products infringe on the intellectual property rights of others. However, there can be no assurance that others will not assert infringement or trade secret claims against us with respect to our current or future products or that any such assertion will not require us to enter into a license agreement or royalty arrangement with the party asserting the claim.

Our failure to manage growth could harm us.                     

            We have in the past experienced periods of growth that have placed, and may continue to place, a significant strain on our resources. We also anticipate expanding our overall development, marketing, sales, management and training capacity as market demand requires.  In the event we are unable to identify, hire, train and retain qualified individuals in such capacities within a reasonable timeframe, such failure could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

            In addition, our ability to manage future increases, in the scope of our operations or personnel may depend on significant expansion of our research and development, marketing and sales, management, and administrative and financial capabilities. The ineffective management of expansion in the business could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

 -10-



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

            Our future performance also depends in significant part upon the continued service of our key technical and senior management personnel, many of whom have been with the Company for a significant period of time.  We purchased term key man life insurance policy for the president in December 2004 and terminated that coverage in May 2006, and do not maintain key man life insurance on any other of our employees.  We anticipate reinstating the coverage in fiscal year 2007.  Because we have a relatively small number of employees when compared to other leading companies in the same industry, our dependence on maintaining our relationship with key employees is particularly significant. We are also dependent on our ability to attract and retain high quality personnel, particularly in the areas of product development, operations management and finance.

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

Our products may be subject to product liability legal claims.

            We maintain insurance to protect against claims associated with the use of our products, but there can be no assurance that our insurance coverage would adequately cover any claim asserted against us. A successful claim brought against us in excess of our insurance coverage could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.  Even unsuccessful claims could result in the expenditure of funds in litigation and management time and resources.

            There can be no assurance that we will not be subject to product liability claims, that such claims will not result in liability in excess of our insurance coverage, that our insurance will cover such claims or that appropriate insurance will continue to be available to us in the future at commercially reasonable rates. Such claims could have a material adverse affect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We are subject to changes in and interpretations of financial accounting matters that govern the measurement of our performance.

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

Our per share price may be adversely effected if material weaknesses in our internal controls are identified by ourselves or our independent auditors.

            Any weaknesses identified in our internal controls as part of the evaluation being undertaken by us and our registered independent public accountants pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 could have an adverse effect on our business.  We are in the process of evaluating and documenting our controls pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.  We are working toward being fully compliant with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act at the time it applies to us.  Failure to comply could have a material adverse affect on our business, financial condition, and our ability to remain listed as a publicly held exchange traded company.

Our earnings will be affected beginning fiscal year 2007 when we begin recognizing employee stock option expense, pursuant to recently issued accounting standards.

            Stock options have from time to time been an important component of the compensation packages for many of our directors and employees.  We currently do not deduct the expense of director or employee stock option grants from our income.  As issued on December 16, 2004, "Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123(R) "Share Based Payment" requires companies to change their accounting policies to record the value of stock options vested as an expense and a charge against earnings.  We are a small business issuer and thus the rule would require that we comply at the beginning of the first fiscal year after December 15, 2005, so reports issued concerning periods after July 1, 2006 will reflect the change and our reported earnings will be adversely affected.

Item 2.   Description of Property

Our executive offices and Santa Ana manufacturing facility are located at 151 East Columbine Avenue, Santa Ana, California 92707.  We lease the 18,000 square foot facility from an unrelated third party at a base monthly lease rate of $15,000 through June 2007.  The building is a two-story stand-alone building of concrete tilt-up construction, approximately 35 years old and in good condition. 

Our Beaverton office and manufacturing facility is located at 1800 N.W. 169th Place, Building C100, Beaverton, Oregon 97006.  The Company leases the 11,000 square foot facility from an unrelated third party, at a base monthly lease rate of $9,600 through October 2007.  The building is a one-story suite in a 20-year-old industrial office complex and in good condition.

Our Pro-Dex Astromec office and manufacturing facility is located at 2950 Arrowhead Drive, Carson City, NV 89708.  The Company purchased 4.4 acres of real property and a 20,000 square foot industrial building and related improvements located in Carson City, Nevada (collectively, the Property) for $2,200,000 in March 2006.  The building is a two-story building of concrete block construction in an industrial park near the Carson City airport and in good condition.  The purchase was financed with cash on hand and by a 10 year Promissory Note and related Loan Agreement with Union Bank of California (the Bank), whereby the Company borrowed the principal sum of $1,650,000.

The principal balance of the Union Bank loan evidenced by the Promissory Note bears interest at a fixed rate of 6.73% per annum. Under the terms of the Promissory Note, the Union Bank loan amortizes as a 25 year obligation due in 10 years with 120 equal monthly payments of $11,379 beginning May 1, 2006. The maximum amount of future payments due under the Promissory Note (undiscounted and assuming no prepayment) is $2,653,036. 

 We believe that the monthly rental rates are comparable to rents charged for comparable properties in the market area and that the current facilities are adequate for our expected needs.  We believe there is full compliance with applicable state and EPA environmental standards at each facility.

Item 3.   Legal Proceedings

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

Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

The following discussion and analysis provides information that management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the Company's results of operations and financial condition for each of the two years ended June 30, 2005 and 2006, respectively.  This discussion should be read in conjunction with the 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. 

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP).  The preparation of our financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures.  We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results may differ from these estimates.  The significant accounting policies that are believed to be the most critical to fully understanding and evaluating the reported financial results include revenue recognition, warranty reserve, inventory valuations for slow moving items, impairment of goodwill, and the recovery of deferred income tax assets.

            We recognize sales and associated cost of sales, upon shipment, FOB origin.  There have been minimal returns for credit, so no reserve for product returns has been established.

            We determine our inventory value at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market value and calculate a reserve for slow moving items to reflect a reduced marketability for the item.  The reserve is calculated by comparing the quantity of the item on hand with our prior 12-month sales history.  If inventory on hand for a specific part exceeds an estimated 24 months of usage, between 20% and 100% of its value may be included in the inventory reserve.  The actual percentage reserved depends on the total quantity on hand, its sales history, and expected near term sales prospects.

The majority of our products have a twelve month warranty.  We determine our warranty reserve based on considering the historical costs to repair warranty eligible products and by estimating the number and type of products that may be eligible for warranty return and repair.  We calculate our reserve by calculating a cost estimate based on what products are known to be warranty-eligible, have been returned and are in process of being repaired and combining it with an expected cost for units in the field that have a potential to be returned for warranty-eligible repair.  The potential return amount is based on historical return and repair cost data.   At June 30, 2006 we had $309,000 in accrued warranty reserve.  Of this amount, $139,000 was for known deficiencies and $170,000 was for future anticipated costs.

The Company accounts for goodwill under SFAS No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets."  SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142.  We have recorded no impairment charge in 2005 or 2006.  We prepare our annual impairment testing on April 1 of each year. 

            As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, we are required to estimate our income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate.  This process involves estimating the actual current tax liabilities together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes.  These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within the consolidated balance sheet.  The most significant tax assets are future deductions from the amortization of intangibles over the next ten years.  Tax assets also result from net operating losses and research and development tax credits.  We must then assess the likelihood that the deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and, to the extent we believe that recovery is not likely, a valuation allowance must be established.  To the extent we establish a valuation allowance or increase or decrease this allowance in a period, the impact will be included in the tax provision in the statement of operations.

-14-



 

            Significant management judgment is required to determine our provision for income taxes and the recoverability of the deferred tax asset.  It is based on estimates of future taxable income by jurisdiction in which the Company operates and the period over which the deferred tax assets will be recoverable.  In the event that actual results differ from these estimates or we adjust these estimates in future periods, a valuation allowance may need to be established which could result in a tax provision equal to the carrying value of the deferred tax assets.

Year in Review

Fiscal year 2006 was a time of growth and change at our Company.  After three years of profitable organic growth, we made two strategic asset acquisitions, strengthening our product line by adding a high impact specialty dental product and a component supplier with a majority of its sales to the aerospace market.  The first was the acquisition of the intellectual property associated with what became our Intraflow product line.  This product is a simple and cost-effective application of a century-old concept to deliver dental anesthetic to a single tooth, providing benefits to both the doctor and the patient.  This product, while not providing an immediate large sales increase this year, has been well received by the using community, giving us confidence in its long term value in the market.  The second acquisition comprised of the operating assets and property, plant and equipment that became Pro-Dex Astromec.  Pro-Dex Astromec specializes in developing and manufacturing fractional electric horsepower motors that are used primarily in the harsh environments seen in the aerospace and medical applications.   Included in the Pro-Dex Astromec purchase was the land and building in Carson City, Nevada where the Astromec business had been located for a number of years.  This owned property gives the Company a low cost option for expansion as needed.   

While we grew our sales by over 23% in fiscal year 2006 as compared to fiscal year 2005 and over 60% in the four years since fiscal year 2002, we had challenges in maintaining our gross margin this year.  In the first half of fiscal year 2006, a vendor supplied component part began to fail on certain medical device products that were shipped in fiscal year 2005.  We began to see increased warranty costs for repair parts and replacement units as the failures were within the one-year warranty period.  The vendor subsequently went out of business so we decided that the best alternative to support the customers affected was to redesign the products in question.  This diverted a significant amount of our engineering resources and slowed our new product development process.  Therefore, while we retained the customers that were already on order, we had a reduced level of new product development and the associated revenue.  By the end of the year, we spent over $400,000 in warranty costs and accrued for over $300,000 for products that were still in the field but had a potential for failing.   Manufacturing efficiencies were also negatively affected as we spent considerable effort in fixing the product problems.  These warranty costs and resulting manufacturing inefficiencies resulted in the first year to year downturn in gross profit and gross margin since 2002.  To take the lessons learned from this year's problems and reduce their reoccurrence, we implemented a new engineering design system and increased resources dedicated to procurement, quality assurance and engineering.  Despite the challenges faced in fiscal year 2006, we lost no customers, revenue and backlog continued to grow, and we maintained profitable operations overall. 

As we enter fiscal 2007, we are beginning to see the results of the efforts put forth in fiscal year 2006 in improved product quality, better designs and more efficient manufacturing.  With the acquisitions of Intraflow and Astromec, we have added an exciting new product and entered a market with significant growth potential.  We believe that we have put in place the foundation for long term growth in both the revenue and profitability of the Company.

           Net Sales.   Consolidated sales increased 23% or $3,227,000 to $17,061,000 from $13,834,000 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2006, compared to the twelve months ended June 30, 2005.  Approximately 50% of the increase was due to the addition of Pro-Dex Astromec beginning in January 2006.  Medical sales were higher, once again due to the inclusion of the Pro-Dex Astromec medical sales.  Shipments to dental customers increased by 16% even after reflecting a one time $245,000 credit for the Intraflow product that was issued at the completion of the Intravantage asset acquisition in October 2005. The credit reversed sales from the prior fiscal year as the product was returned as a condition of the acquisition.  Sales to industrial customers increased 5% for the same period in the prior year as shipments to a large customer of industrial motors showed renewed strength.  Sales to government and other customers had a 79% year over year increase in 2006 due to the fulfillment of a non-recurring large order in the last quarter of the 2006 fiscal year. 

Customer-funded research and development provided $71,000 in revenue in the year ended June 30, 2006, and $566,000 in revenue in the year ended June 30, 2005, reflecting a decrease in development fees billable during the year as engineering efforts were focused on upgrading current products and supporting warranty work.  The results of customer-funded development work are intended to provide long-term exclusive manufacturing agreements and provide the customer with the retention of the intellectual property developed.  The identity of the customer is generally protected by a non-disclosure agreement

Although selective price increases and decreases were implemented in response to market conditions, the majority of the sales growth and declines for each product line is due primarily to changes in sales volume, not the effect of price changes.

*Pro-Dex Astromec's sales are primarily to the aerospace and medical markets and became a part of Pro-Dex with the acquisition of substantially all of Astromec's assets in January 2006.  Pro-Dex Astromec's sales were $1,196,000 to aerospace customers and $457,000 to medical customers since the acquisition in the year ended June 30, 2006.

Gross Profit The Company's consolidated gross profit for 2006 decreased $504,000 or 7% compared to the gross profit in the previous year as over $400,000 of warranty costs were incurred plus $309,000 in anticipated costs of repairs of medical devices were accrued for.  Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased to 39% for the year ended June 30, 2006 compared to 51% for the year ended June 30, 2005.  The warranty issues noted above accounted for 4% of the decreased margin.  Consolidated margins declined an additional 2% due to the Pro-dex Astromec consolidation, as this component business historically had margins in the 20% to 30% range.  Other factors leading to the margin reduction were a slightly lower margin in dental sales, a less favorable sales mix with a decrease in high margin factory automation and research and development sales, and lower capacity utilization.  Gross profit and gross profit percentage were as follows:

Research and development costs.  Company funded research and development expenses increased $269,000 to $2,009,000 for the year ended June 30, 2006 from $1,740,000 for the year ended June 30, 2005, an increase of 15%.  The addition of Pro-Dex Astromec added $164,000 to the total consolidated research and development costs, the remainder was due to increased consulting, independent project research costs and recruiting.  Company-funded research and development costs were as follows:

 Royalties and Other Income.  We earned and received $51,000 in royalty payments in the fiscal year 2006, compared to $77,000 in royalty payments in 2005, as the sales upon which the royalty is based were reduced. 

Net Interest Income/Expense.  Net interest expense was $25,000 in the year ended June 30, 2006, compared to $21,000 in net interest income in the prior year as the company incurred debt to fund its asset acquisitions in the third quarter and had maintained a positive cash balance and debt-free status in the first six months of the 2006 fiscal year and all of the 2005 fiscal year.

Income Tax Provision.  Our effective income tax rate is 28% for the year ended June 30, 2006, compared to 24% for the year ended June 30, 2005.  Our effective income tax rate in 2006 was increased compared to 2005 primarily due to the reversal of a deferred tax valuation allowance in 2005 of $227,000 due to our sustained profitability.  The deferred tax valuation allowance was originally recorded in the year ended June 30, 2001.  Net realizable deferred tax assets could be reduced if estimates of future profitability are reduced or if future changes in the ownership of the Company occur.

            As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, we are required to estimate our income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. This process involves estimating our actual current tax liabilities together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes.  These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within our consolidated balance sheet.  The deferred tax assets result primarily from tax basis of intangible assets in excess of book basis. We must then assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and to the extent management believes that recovery is not likely, we must establish a valuation allowance. To the extent a valuation allowance is either increased or decreased in a period, the impact will be included in the tax provision in the statement of operations.

            Net Income.  We had net income of $833,000 or $0.09 per share, basic and $0.08 per share diluted for the year ended June 30, 2006 compared to net income of $1,849,000 or $0.20 per share, basic and $0.19 per share diluted for the year ended June 30, 2005.  This decrease is due to the high level of warranty costs as discussed above and associated production inefficiencies.

The Company's working capital at June 30, 2006 decreased to approximately $6.1 million compared to approximately $8.3 million at June 30, 2005 as $3.6 million of cash was used as payment for the Intraflow and Astromec asset acquisitions made in 2006.  Cash flow provided by operations was $55,000 in the year ended June 30, 2006 compared to $557,000 for the year ended June 30, 2005.  Cash was provided through continued profitability levels offset by increases in inventory and accounts receivable reflecting the higher sales levels at the end of the fiscal year 2006 and a corresponding inventory build.  Management believes that our working capital needs over the next twelve months can be adequately supported by current operations.

In October 2005, we renewed our credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank N.A. ("Wells Fargo") for borrowings up to $2,000,000.  Its terms require monthly interest payments at either the prime rate of interest (8.25% at June 30, 2006), or LIBOR plus 2.50% (7.875% (one month) to 8.0% (three months) at June 30, 2006), at our discretion, based on outstanding borrowings with no minimum interest charge.  The outstanding borrowings are secured by all assets of the Company.  There was $900,000 outstanding balance under the terms of this credit facility as of June 30, 2006.  The total remaining eligible borrowing capacity at June 30, 2006 was $1,100,000.

In January 2006, we extended the credit facility and entered into a four year term note with Wells Fargo for $1,000,000.  Its terms require monthly interest payments at either the prime rate of interest (8.25% at June 30, 2006), or LIBOR plus 2.50% (7.875% (one month) to 8.0% (three months) at June 30, 2006), at our discretion, based on outstanding borrowings.  The principal payments on the note are $20,833 per month.  The outstanding borrowings are secured by all assets of the Company.  There was an outstanding balance of $895,833 under the terms of this term note as of June 30, 2006. 

In March 2006, we entered into a ten year mortgage with Union Bank of California for $1,650,000.  Its terms require monthly interest payments at a fixed rate of 6.73% based on outstanding borrowings.  The principal payments on the mortgage note are based on a 25 year amortization of the note and are $11,379 per month beginning May 1, 2006.  The outstanding borrowings are secured by our Carson City land and building.  There was $1,645,737 outstanding balance under the terms of this mortgage as of June 30, 2006. 

 

-19-



There are certain financial and non-financial covenants that we must meet to be in compliance with the terms of the October 2005 Wells Fargo credit facility, as amended, and the Union Bank mortgage.  At June 30, 2006, we were in compliance with all such covenants. 

At June 30, 2006, we had cash and cash equivalents of $358,000.  We believe that our cash and cash equivalents on hand, together with cash flows from operations, if any, and amounts available under the credit facility will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the next year.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

            The industries in which we compete are labor intensive, often involving personnel with high-level technical or sales skills. Wages and other expenses increase during periods of inflation and when shortages in the marketplace occur. In addition, suppliers pass along rising costs to us in the form of higher prices. To some extent, we have been able to offset increases in operating costs by increasing charges, expanding services and implementing cost control measures. Nevertheless, our ability to increase prices is limited by market conditions, including international competition in many of our markets.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

We are subject to the revised requirements of the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123 (R) Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation as revised December 2004.  This standard establishes the accounting standards for equity compensation, and will apply to us in the recognition of the cost of stock options awarded based on the grant-date fair value of those awards.  As a small business issuer, the statement is effective for us at the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after December 15, 2005. Accordingly we will begin to report the expense of vested stock options in our report for the quarter ending September 30, 2006 and will have an earnings effect similar to that currently described in the Note Nine of the consolidated financial statements.

We are subject to the revised requirements of the SFAS No. 151 Inventory Costs - an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4 as revised November 2004.  This standard amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, Inventory Pricing," to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling cost, and wasted material (spoilage).  This standard is effective for us at the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after June 15, 2005, which was our fiscal year ending June 30, 2006.  This statement has not had a material effect on our operations or reporting.

In March 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143 ("FIN 47"). FIN 47 clarifies the term conditional asset retirement obligation and requires a liability to be recorded if the fair value of the obligation can be reasonably estimated. The types of asset retirement obligations that are covered by FIN 47 are those for which an entity has a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity; however the timing and/or method of settling the obligation are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. FIN 47 also clarifies when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation. FIN 47 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 47 during fiscal 2006. No conditional asset retirement obligations were recognized and, accordingly, the adoption of FIN 47 had no effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and Statement No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements (SFAS 154). SFAS 154 provides guidance on the accounting for and reporting of accounting changes and error corrections. It establishes, unless impracticable, retrospective application as the required method for reporting a change in accounting principle in the absence of explicit transition requirements specific to the newly adopted accounting principle. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 154 will have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations, or liquidity.

-20-



In June 2006, the FASB issued FIN No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. The interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN No. 48 requires recognition of tax benefits that satisfy a greater than 50% probability threshold. FIN No. 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN No. 48 is effective for us beginning July 1, 2007. The Company does not expect the adoption of FIN No. 48 will have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations, or liquidity.

Item 8A.   Controls and Procedures.

 The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively) conducted an evaluation of the design and operation of our "disclosure controls and procedures" (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act")).  Based on that evaluation for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by use in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is accumulated, recorded, processed, summarized and reported to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, and to allow timely decisions regarding whether or not disclosure is required.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2006, 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.  In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006, the Chief Executive Officer stepped down from his position and on an interim basis the Chief Financial Officer assumed the Chief Executive Officer position.  As the two executive positions were combined and held by one individual as of June 30, 2006, our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective.  We mitigated this deficiency through a combination of increased documentation and review of the financial statements by the Board.  The Board of Directors was available for consultation and was more active in the review of the operating decisions and the review of the financial statements.

Item 8B.   Other Information - Subsequent Event.

 On April 12, 2006, the Company accepted the resignation and terminated the employment agreement of Patrick Johnson as the Company's Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Johnson remained with the Company as its Executive Vice President and Chief Business Development Officer.  He also remained on the Company's Board of Directors.  Mr. Jeff Ritchey, the Company's Chief Financial Officer, served as interim Chief Executive Officer and continued his duties as Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary.  On August 14, 2006.  Mark P. Murphy was appointed as the successor Chief Executive Officer and he assumed such duties on August 31, 2006.  Mr. Murphy is a director of the Company.  Mr. Ritchey resigned the Chief Executive Officer position as of August 30, 2006 and remains with the Company as its Chief Financial Officer and Secretary.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of Pro-Dex, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Pro-Dex, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of June 30, 2006 and 2005 and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended June 30, 2006.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Pro-Dex, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2006 and 2005, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in the two-year period ended June 30, 2006 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

            The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Pro-Dex Astromec, Inc., and Pro-Dex Management, Inc.  Pro-Dex Management, Inc. is a non-operating subsidiary.  All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.  

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principals generally accepted in the United States of America.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue on product sales is recognized upon shipment to the customer based on its terms of FOB shipping point, where the risk of loss and title transfer to the customer.  We record sales in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition.  Under these guidelines, revenue is recognized when all of the following exist; persuasive evidence that a sale arrangement exists, delivery of the product has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable, and payment is reasonably assured.  We sell some of our products with a warranty that provides for repairs or replacement of any defective parts for a period after the sale. At the time of the sale, the Company accrues an estimate of the cost of providing the warranty based on prior experience.  The Company recognizes revenue under research and development agreements as certain deliverables are met as specified in each development contract.

 The Company recognized shipping revenue as net sales of $141,000 and $118,000 for the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.  The Company recognizes shipping costs as cost of sales as incurred.  The Company incurred shipping charges of approximately $118,000 and $79,000 for the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable

Trade receivables are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful accounts based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a monthly basis.  Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by identifying troubled accounts and using historical experience applied to an aging of accounts.  Trade receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible.  Recoveries of trade receivables previously written off are offset against the allowance when received. Changes in reserve for allowance for doubtful accounts are as follows for the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005:

The increase in the allowance during 2005 was the result of a specific allowance related to a single customer that exhibited financial difficulties.  This allowance was reversed in 2006 as it was related to the products associated with the Intravantage assets that we purchased in October, 2006.  As part of the purchase, product was returned and the receivable was eliminated.

Inventories

       Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (the first-in, first-out method) or market and consist of the following at June 30, 2006 and 2005:

Warranties

The warranty accrual is based on historical costs of warranty repairs and expected future identifiable warranty expenses.  We have had warranty expenses in this fiscal year dealing with products introduced in the prior fiscal year.  As of June 30, 2006 we carried a total of $309,000 warranty accrual which was comprised of  $269,000 for future warranty expenses related to the products for which we have had recent high expense levels and $40,000 for our legacy products with a better defined warranty repair history.  Warranty expenses are reflected in the financial statements as Cost of Sales ("COS").  The warranty accrual and expenses for the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 are presented below:

Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows: Building - 39 years, equipment -- 3-10 years; and leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the term of the lease or their estimated useful lives.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The Company accounts for Goodwill and Intangible Assets in accordance with SFAS No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets."  SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually. 

We performed impairment tests and recorded no impairment charges in fiscal years ended June 30, 2005 or 2006.  We prepare our annual impairment testing on April 1 of each year.  We have compared the estimated carrying value with the estimated fair value of the operations and determined that none of the goodwill recorded as of April 1, 2006 was impaired.  Additionally, during the quarter ended June 30, 2006, management determined that there were no events or circumstances which have occurred, that would indicate an impairment of the goodwill had occurred.

Stock Repurchase Plan

In September 2002, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase on the open market of up to 500,000 shares of the Company's outstanding Common Stock, subject to compliance with applicable laws and regulations.  There is no requirement that the Company repurchase all or any portion of such shares.  The maximum total value of the repurchase is not to exceed $500,000.  The maximum price per share that can be paid is $1.25.  The repurchase is to be financed with cash generated by operations.  From the inception of the repurchase authorization through the year-end date of June 30, 2003, the Company repurchased 75,700 shares of Common Stock for $43,741, at an average price of $0.58 per share.  No additional shares were repurchased in the twelve months ended June 30, 2005 and 2006.  The stock repurchase plan is currently inactive as the market value per common share has remained above $1.25.

Income Taxes

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

Stock Options and Warrants

The Company accounts for stock-based employee compensation under the requirements of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, which does not require compensation to be recorded if the consideration to be received is at least equal to the market price of the underlying stock at the measurement date.  Nonemployee stock-based transactions are accounted for under the requirements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, which requires compensation to be recorded based on the fair value of the securities issued or the services received, whichever is more reliably measurable.

SFAS No. 123 and SFAS No. 148 require the disclosure of pro forma net income and earnings per share had the Company adopted the fair value method.  Under SFAS No. 123, the fair value of stock-based awards to employees is calculated through the use of option pricing models, even though such models were developed to estimate the fair value of freely tradable, fully transferable options with vesting restrictions which significantly differ from the Company's stock option awards.  These models require subjective assumptions, including future stock price volatility and expected time to exercise, which greatly affect the calculated value.  The Company's calculations for the options granted were made using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.  The calculations are based on a single-option valuation approach and forfeitures are recognized as they occur. 

The fair value of each grant is estimated at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: no dividend rate for all years; price volatility of 35% to 42% in 2006, of 55% to 66% in 2005; risk-free interest rates of approximately 3.8% to 4.5% in 2006 and 3.3% to 3.8% in 2005; and expected lives of five years. 

The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share had compensation cost for employee stock-based compensation been determined based on the grant date fair values of awards for the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Use of Estimates

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

The Company's operations are affected by numerous factors including market acceptance, changes in technologies and new laws and government regulations and policies. The Company cannot predict what impact, if any, the occurrence of these or other events might have on the Company's operations. Significant estimates and assumptions made by management include, but are not limited to: revenue recognition, the allowance for doubtful accounts, the warranty reserve, the reserve for slow moving or obsolete inventories, the carrying value of long-lived and intangible assets impairment of goodwill, and the recovery of deferred income tax assets.

Significant management judgment is required to determine our provision for income taxes and the recoverability of the deferred tax asset.  It is based on estimates of future taxable income by jurisdiction in which the Company operates and the period over which the deferred tax assets will be recoverable.  In the event that actual results differ from these estimates or we adjust these estimates in future periods, a valuation allowance may need to be established which could result in a tax provision equal to the carrying value of the deferred tax assets.

Earnings per Share

            Basic earnings per common share data has been computed on the basis of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period presented.  Diluted per share amounts assume the conversion, exercise or issuance of all potential common stock instruments unless the effect is to increase the income per common share from continuing operations.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

            The method and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of notes payable, if any, which approximates the carrying value, is based on interest rates for instruments with similar terms and remaining maturities.

Research and Development

Company funded research and development expenses increased $269,000 to $2,009,000 for the year ended June 30, 2006 from $1,740,000 for the year ended June 30, 2005, an increase of 15.5 percent.  Consolidating Pro-Dex Astromec, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, accounted for $164,000 of the increase and the remainder was attributable to increased internal costs and external engineering consulting fees for product improvement, specialty design and validation work.  Company-funded research and development costs were as follows:

Fiscal Year ended June 30,

2006

2005

Increase

Research and Development Costs

$2,009,000

$1,740,000

15.5%

Company-funded research and development supports the development of generic rotary drive and motion control platforms.  We seek customer-funded projects to customize these platforms to specific customer requirements.  Company-funded research and development projects are generally expected to convert to customer-funded projects within six to eighteen months.  Company funded project costs are expensed as incurred. 

Customer-funded research and development effort is the work performed for and funded by specific customers under the terms of formal research and development agreements.  These efforts are generally for specific applications of the generic platforms developed by the Company-funded research.  These projects typically take place within twelve months of the generic development work being completed.  We recognize revenue under these research and development agreements as certain deliverables are completed as specified in each development contract.  The research and development costs associated with these efforts are capitalized as inventory and recognized as costs of sales when the contracted deliverable is made, matching the cost to the revenue. 

 Customer-funded research and development provided $71,000 in revenue in the year ended June 30, 2006, and $566,000 in revenue in the year ended June 30, 2005, reflecting a decrease in development fees billable during the quarter as engineering efforts were focused on upgrading current products and supporting warranty work.  The results of customer-funded development work are intended to provide long-term exclusive manufacturing agreements and provide the customer with the retention of the intellectual property developed.  The identity of the customer is generally protected by a non-disclosure agreement.

For customer-funded development projects, costs are capitalized and recognized as a cost of sales when specific deliverables within the development contracts are produced, matching the costs to the revenue. In the year ended June 30, 2006, $54,000 was recognized as cost of sales, compared to $144,000 recognized as cost of sales in the year ended June 30, 2005, reflecting a decrease in costs associated with the development fees billable during the quarter.

The disclosure of customer names, project status and economic impact of projects that are fundamental to the Company's business strategy is prohibited in many cases by confidentiality agreements.

NOTE 3 - BANK DEBT

In October 2005, we renewed our credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank N.A. ("Wells Fargo") for borrowings up to $2,000,000.  Its terms require monthly interest payments at either the prime rate of interest (8.25% at June 30, 2006), or LIBOR plus 2.50% (7.875% (one month) to 8.0% (three months) at June 30, 2006), at our discretion, based on outstanding borrowings with no minimum interest charge.  The outstanding borrowings are secured by all assets of the Company.  There was $900,000 outstanding balance under the terms of this credit facility as of June 30, 2006.  The total remaining eligible borrowing capacity at June 30, 2006 was $1,100,000.

 

-35-



In January 2006, we extended the credit facility and entered into a four year term note with Wells Fargo for $1,000,000.  Its terms require monthly interest payments at either the prime rate of interest (8.25% at June 30, 2006), or LIBOR plus 2.50% (7.875% (one month) to 8.0% (three months) at June 30, 2006), at our discretion, based on outstanding borrowings.  The principal payments on the note are $20,833 per month.  The outstanding borrowings are secured by all assets of the Company.  There was an outstanding balance of $895,833 under the terms of this term note as of June 30, 2006. 

In March 2006, we entered into a ten year mortgage with Union Bank of California for $1,650,000.  Its terms require monthly interest payments at a fixed rate of 6.73% based on outstanding borrowings.  The principal payments on the mortgage note are based on a 25 year amortization of the note and are $11,379 per month beginning May 1, 2006.  The outstanding borrowings are secured by our Carson City land and building.  There was $1,645,737 outstanding balance under the terms of this mortgage as of June 30, 2006. 

There are certain financial and non-financial covenants that we must meet to be in compliance with the terms of the October 2005 Wells Fargo credit facility, as amended, and the Union Bank mortgage.  At June 30, 2006, we were in compliance with all such covenants.

NOTE 4 - LONG TERM DEBT TO SHAREHOLDER    

Long-term debt was comprised of a Not to Compete liability under the terms of a Noncompetition Agreement with a shareholder offset by a Note Receivable asset from the same shareholder.  The interest rate on both was 7% annually.  The Note was collateralized by the Not to Compete liability and was subordinated to the line of credit with Wells Fargo. 

On October 27, 2004, the Not to Compete Liability and the Note Receivable were each paid in full at book value, with no further obligation under either instrument remaining.

NOTE 5 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company leases its existing office and warehouse facilities in Santa Ana, California and Beaverton, Oregon.  The Santa Ana lease expires in June 2007 and the Beaverton lease expires in October 2007.  The Santa Ana lease includes two one year consecutive options to extend the lease.  The Beaverton facility has an option to renew for either a three or five year term.  These leases require the Company to pay insurance, taxes, and other expenses related to the leased space.  Total rent expense in 2006 and 2005 was $333,000 and $303,000, respectively.  Future minimum lease payments for the fiscal years ending June 30 are:

2007

 $294,000

2008

         38,000

Total

 $332,000

Our manufacture and distribution of certain products involves a risk of legal action, and, from time to time, we are named as defendants in lawsuits. It is not reasonably possible to estimate the awards or damages, or the range of awards or damages, if any, we might incur in connection with such litigation.  Management is not aware of any actual, pending or threatened litigation at this time.

The Company has tax credits of $124,000 and $191,000 for June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively that can be carried forward indefinitely until fully utilized.

The Company maintained a valuation allowance to reduce certain deferred tax assets to amounts that are more likely than not to be realized. In the year ending June 30, 2005, the Company reversed its valuation allowance for these deferred tax assets due to our sustained profitability.  Management believes that it is more likely than not that all deferred tax assets will be realized.

The Company is going through an audit by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2004.  Management does not believe there will be any material adjustment resulting from the audit.

NOTE 7 - SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

Stock Options

The Board of Directors and the shareholders of the Company have approved and adopted two stock option plans, pursuant to which options to purchase an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of common stock that may be granted to officers, directors, and employees of the Company.  The employee stock option plan had 1,500,000 options to purchase shares and the directors plan had 500,000 options to purchase shares.  There are 88,045 options to purchase shares remaining under the employee option plan, and 240,000 options to purchase shares remaining under the directors option plan for a total of 328,045 shares remaining under both option plans at June 30, 2006 that are available to grant in future years.  Transactions involving the Company's stock options for the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 are summarized as follows:

NOTE 11.       INTRAVANTAGE ASSET ACQUISITION

On October 31, 2005, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with IntraVantage, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("IntraVantage"), whereby the Company purchased from IntraVantage certain of IntraVantage's assets related to IntraVantage's dental products business, including all of IntraVantage's intellectual property rights (the "Intellectual Property" and, collectively with the other purchased assets, the "Assets").  The purchase price for the Assets consisted of the following:

  • $226,087 in cash paid to IntraVantage on October 31, 2005;

  • $893,271 in cash paid to IntraVantage's bank on October 31, 2005 as full payoff and release of all of IntraVantage's credit obligations with such bank; and

  • $400,000 to IntraVantage in annual installments of $100,000 in cash payable on each of October 31, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009.

As further inducement for IntraVantage to enter into the Purchase Agreement,

  • The Company also entered into an Exclusive License Agreement and a Royalty Agreement with IntraVantage in conjunction with the October 31, 2005 closing of the Purchase Agreement.  The Exclusive License Agreement grants to IntraVantage an exclusive, worldwide, irrevocable, royalty-free and perpetual license to use the acquired Intellectual Property in any non-dental related field of use.  The Royalty Agreement requires that the Company pay to IntraVantage certain royalty payments on revenues generated from future sales of products by the Company which fall within the scope of, incorporate, are a modification of or are substantially derived from one or more of the patents included in the Intellectual Property.
     

  • The Company agreed to terminate a supply agreement between the Company and IntraVantage, along with all amendments thereto. Pursuant to this termination, IntraVantage returned to the Company certain products previously delivered to IntraVantage under the previously executed supply agreement in exchange for the Company issuing to IntraVantage a credit memo of approximately $275,000, equal to the full value of outstanding IntraVantage invoices related to the supply agreement.

NOTE 12.       ASTROMEC ASSET ACQUISITION

 On January 5, 2006, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Astromec, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("Astromec"), whereby the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Pro-Dex Astromec purchased from Astromec substantially all of Astromec's assets.  The purchase price for the assets was comprised of the following consideration:

  • $2,600,000 in cash paid to Astromec on January 5, 2006;
     

  • $100,000 to be paid at the end of a six month period, subject to adjustments based on the asset values presented in Astromec's audited closing balance sheet; and
     

  • Assumption of operating liabilities of approximately $300,000.

On January 4, 2006, our credit facility with Wells Fargo was amended to allow for a $1,000,000 four year term loan in addition to the existing $2,000,000 line of credit.  The term loan is fully amortizing and requires monthly principal and interest payments at either the prime rate of interest (7.25% at March 31, 2005); or LIBOR plus 2.50% (6.90% (one month) to 7.04% (three months) at March 31, 2005), at our discretion, based on the outstanding balance.  The outstanding borrowings are secured by all assets of the Company.  Pro-Dex used the full proceeds of the term loan toward financing the Astromec asset purchase.

PRO-DEX, INC.

1994 AMENDED STOCK OPTION PLAN

            This Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") is adopted in consideration for services rendered and to be rendered to Pro-Dex, Inc. and related companies.

1.   Definitions.  The terms used in this Plan shall, unless otherwise indicated

or required by the particular context, have the following meanings:

Board:     The Board of Directors of Pro-Dex, Inc.

Code:      The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Common Stock:    The no par value common stock of Pro-Dex, Inc.

Company:         Pro-Dex, Inc., a corporation incorporated under the laws of California, and any successors in interest by merger, operation of law, assignment or purchase of all or substantially all of the property, assets or business of the Company.

Date of Grant:    The date on which an Option (see below) is granted under the Plan.

Disinterested Person:  A director who has not been granted or awarded equity securities pursuant to any plan of the Company or of any Related Company of the Company during one year prior to that director's service as an administrator of the Plan, except as otherwise provided in Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") with respect to (a) participation in formula plans or ongoing securities acquisitions plans, and (b) an election to receive securities for an annual retainer fee.

                        Employee:    An Employee is an employee of the Company or any Related Company.

1



Fair Market Value:   The Fair Market Value of the Option Shares.  Such Fair Market Value as of any date shall be determined by the Option Committee as of the last business day for which the prices or quotes discussed in this sentence are available prior to the date an Option is granted and shall mean (a) the average (on that date) of the high and low prices of the Common Stock on the principal national securities exchange by which the Common Stock is traded, if the stock is then traded on a national securities exchange; or, (b) the last reported sale price (on that date) of the Common Stock on NASDAQ, if the stock is not then traded on a national securities exchange; or (c) the closing bid price (or average of bid prices) last quoted (on that date) by an established quotation service for over-the-counter securities, if the stock is not reported on NASDAQ.  However, if the Common Stock is not publicly-traded at the time an Option is granted under the Plan, Fair Market Value shall be deemed to be the fair value of the stock as determined in good faith by the Board or the Option Committee, and a written record of the method of determining such value shall be maintained.

Incentive Stock Options ("ISOs"):  "Incentive Stock Options" as that term is defined in Section 422A of the Code.

Key Employee:     A person designated by the Option Committee who either is employed by the Company or a Related Company (see below) and upon whose judgment, initiative and efforts the Company or a Related Company is largely dependent for the successful conduct of its business; provided, however, that Key Employees shall not include those members of the Board who are not employees of the Company or a Related Company.

Non-Incentive Stock Options ("Non-ISOs"):     Options which are not intended to qualify as "Incentive Stock Options" under Section 422A of the Code.

Option:     The rights granted to an Employee to purchase Common Stock pursuant to the terms and conditions of an Option Agreement (see below).

Option Agreement:     The written agreement (and any amendment or supplement thereto) between the Company and an Employee designating the terms and conditions of an Option.

Option Committee:     With respect to grants of Options to Employees who are not also Officers and/or Directors of the Company, the Plan shall be administered by an Option Committee ("Option Committee") composed of the Board or at least two members of the Board.  With respect to grants of Options to Employees who are also Officers or Directors, the Plan shall be administered by a committee, selected by the Board, consisting of two or more persons, each of whom is a Disinterested Person.  Such committee may also be deemed an Option Committee.

Option Shares:     The shares of Common Stock underlying an Option granted to an Employee.

Optionee:     An Employee who has been granted an Option.

Related Company:     Any corporation that is a "parent corporation" or a "subsidiary corporation" with respect to the Company, as those terms are defined in Section 425 of the Code.  The determination of whether a corporation is a Related Company shall be made without regard to whether the corporation or the relationship between the corporation and the Company now exists or comes into existence hereinafter.

2.   Purpose and Scope.

(a)    The purpose of this Plan is to advance the interests of the Company and its shareholders by affording Employees an opportunity for investment in the Company and the incentive advantages inherent in stock ownership in this Company.

2



(b)       This Plan authorizes the Option Committee to grant Options to purchase shares of Common Stock to Employees selected by the Option Committee while considering criteria such as employment position or other relationship with the Company, duties and responsibilities, ability, productivity, length of service or association, morale, interest in the Company, recommendations by supervisors, and other matters.

3.   Administration of the Plan.  The Plan shall be administered by the Option Committee.  The Option Committee shall have the authority granted to it under this section and under each other section of the Plan.

In accordance with and subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Option Committee shall select the Optionees, shall determine (a) the number of shares of Common Stock to be subject to each Option, (b) the time at which each Option is to be granted, (c) whether an Option shall be granted in exchange for the cancellation and termination of a previously granted option or options under the Plan or otherwise, (d) the purchase price for the Option Shares, (e) the option period, and (f) the manner in which the Option becomes exercisable.  In addition, the Option Committee shall fix such other terms of each Option as the Option Committee may deem necessary or desirable.  The Option Committee shall determine the form of Option Agreement to evidence each Option.

The Option Committee from time to time may adopt such rules and regulations for carrying out the purposes of the Plan as it may deem proper and in the best interests of the Company.  The Option Committee shall keep minutes of its meetings and those minutes shall be distributed to every member of the Board.

The Board may from time to time make such changes in and additions to the Plan as it may deem proper and in the best interest of the Company; provided, however, that no such change or addition shall impair any Option previously granted under the Plan, and that the approval by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Company's securities entitled to vote and represented at a meeting duly held in accordance with the applicable laws of the State of California, shall be required for any amendment which would:

(a)    modify the eligibility requirements for receiving Options under the Plan;

(b)    increase the benefits accruing to Employees under the Plan; or

(c)    increase the number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the Plan.

3



All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Option Committee in good faith (including determinations of Fair Market Value) shall be final and binding upon all Employees, the Company and all other interested persons.  No member of the Option Committee shall be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan, and all members of the Option Committee shall, in addition to rights they may have as Directors of the Company be fully protected by the Company with respect to any such action, determination or interpretation.

(b)       Except as otherwise permitted under Section 11, during the lifetime of the Optionee, the Option shall be exercisable only by the Optionee; provided, that in the event of the legal disability of an Optionee, the guardian or personal representative of the Optionee may exercise the Option.  However, if the Option is an ISO it may be exercised by the guardian or personal representative of the Optionee only if such guardian or personal representative obtains a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service or an opinion of counsel to the effect that neither the grant nor the exercise of such power is violative of Section 422A(b) (5) of the Code.  Any opinion of counsel must be both from counsel arid in a form acceptable to the Option Committee.

(c)       The Option Committee may determine whether any Option shall be exercisable as provided in Paragraph (a) of this Section 7 or whether the Options shall be exercisable in installments only; if the Option Committee determines the latter, it shall determine the number of installments and the percentage of the Option exercisable at each installment date.  All such installments shall be cumulative.

(e)        Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph (d) of this Section 7, if an Optionee's employment by the Company or a Related Company ceases for any reason other than the Optionee's death or permanent and total disability, any unexercised portion of any Option held by the Optionee at the time his employment ceases may be exercised within 30 days after the date his employment ceased, but only to the extent that the Option was exercisable according to its terms on the date the Optionee's employment ceased.  After such date, any unexercised portion of an Option shall expire.

(f)         Each Option shall be exercised in whole or part by delivering to the office of the Treasurer of the Company written notice of the number of shares with respect to which the Option is to be exercised and by paying in full the purchase price for the Option Shares purchased as set forth in Section 8; provided, that an Option may not be exercised in part unless the purchase price for the Option Shares purchased is at least $2,000.

8.      Payment for Option Shares.  If the purchase price of the Option Shares purchased by any Optionee at one time exceeds $2,000, the Option Committee may permit all or part of the purchase price for the Option Shares to be paid by the Optionee by (a) delivering to the Company shares of the Company's common Stock previously owned by the Optionee with a Fair Market Value as of the date of payment equal to the portion of the purchase price for the Option Shares that the Optionee does not pay in cash, (b) having shares withheld from the amount of shares to be received by the Optionee, (c) delivering an irrevocable subscription agreement obligating the Optionee to take and pay for the shares to be purchased within one year of the date of such exercise, or (d) complying with any other payment mechanisms as the Option Committee may approve from time to time.  As a condition to the exercise of any Option granted under this Plan, the Optionee shall make such arrangements as the Option Committee may require for the satisfaction of any federal, state or withholding tax obligations which may arise in connection with such exercise.  The issuance, transfer or delivery of certificates of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise or Options may be delayed, at the discretion of the Option Committee, until the Option Committee is satisfied that the applicable requirements of federal and state securities laws and the withholding provisions of the Code have been met.  Until such person has been issued a certificate or certificates for the Option Shares so purchased, he or she shall possess no rights of a recordholder with respect to any of such shares.

(b)     If the Company is liquidated or dissolved, the Option Committee may allow the holders of any outstanding Options to exercise all or any part of the unvested portion of the Options held by them; provided, however, that such Options must be exercised prior to the effective date of such liquidation or dissolution.  If the Option Holders do not exercise their Options prior to such effective date, each outstanding Option shall terminate as of the effective date of the liquidation or dissolution.

(c)      This Plan shall be construed to be in addition to any and all other compensation plans or programs.  Neither the adoption of the Plan by the Board nor the submission of the Plan to the shareholders of the Company shall be construed as creating any limitations on the power of authority of the Board to adopt such other additional incentive or other compensation arrangements as the Board may deem necessary or desirable.

(d)      The validity, construction, interpretation, administration and effect of the Plan and its rules and regulations, and the rights of any and all personnel having or claiming to have an interest therein or thereunder shall be governed by and determined exclusively and solely in accordance with the laws of the State of California; provided, however, if the Reorganization described in Section 9(b) hereof shall be consummated, the laws of the State of Colorado shall govern and determine construction, etc. of this Plan.

("the Company") as an "at-will" employee, serving at the pleasure of the Board of Directors and in accordance with the Company's Bylaws (and applicable law).  As Chief Executive Officer, you will perform the duties assigned to you from time to time by the Board of Directors.  You may also be required to serve as the CEO and/or director of subsidiaries or other related entities of the Company with no additional compensation. This position will initially be based out of our Santa Ana, California office.

Salary
Your official start date will be August 31, 2006 ("the Starting Date").  Your bi-weekly salary will be $10,769.23 which equals $280,000 on an annualized basis , increasing annually by the All Urban Consumers CPI  (applicable local metropolitan area) for the preceding twelve calendar months effective the first full pay period following each anniversary of the Starting Date.  

Benefits
For PTO purposes only (and only with respect to this Agreement), you will be treated as having been employed on a full time basis for five (5) years as of the Starting Date, and you will be eligible to participate in benefits including health, dental and life insurance and optional employee benefits available to all Company employees except Company-wide employee bonuses or profit sharing plans.

You will receive reimbursement for ordinary and necessary business expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with the Company's policies applicable to all employees and subject to review by the Company's audit committee.

Bonuses/incentive compensation
In addition to the foregoing salary and benefits, you will be eligible for additional compensation as follows if you are still employed by the Company on a full time basis ("Continuing Employment Status") when the conditions to earn such bonus are fully satisfied.

 



2


1.   Annual Bonus.  An Annual Bonus equal to (i) 0.75% of your annual salary, times (ii) each one percent (or any portion thereof) increase in pre-tax earnings (including extraordinary gains and losses) per share for fiscal years ending after July 1, 2006 over the prior fiscal year.  For example, if pre-tax earnings per share increased by 18.5% and your salary was $280K at the time, the Annual Bonus would equal $38,850 (0.75% times $280,000 times 18.5).  The Annual Bonus shall be payable within ten days after you have signed and the Company has filed with the SEC the required Chief Executive Officer certifications, without qualification, for Form 10-KSB (or Form 10-K, as the case may be ) for the most recent fiscal year.  Such Continuing Employment Status shall not be required for additional compensation under this "Annual Bonus" section in the event that during the period (i) following the conclusion of the Company's fiscal year and  (ii) prior to the Company's filing of Form 10-KSB (or Form 10-K, as the case may be), your employment is terminated by the Company without "Cause" or you resign for "Good Reason," each as defined below):; If your employment has been terminated by the Company without Cause prior to the time that you have signed such certifications, or by you for Good Reason prior to the time that you have signed such certifications, the Annual Bonus as set forth in this Section 1 which you have earned shall be payable within thirty (30) days following the termination of your employment.  If all such filings are not signed and filed, except as specified above, the bonus shall not be payable.

The actual Annual Bonus for fiscal year ending June 30, 2007 shall not exceed $25,000; and shall not exceed $50,000 for fiscal year ending June 30, 2008.

 

2.   Second Bonus.  A Second Bonus equal to the appreciation of an aggregate of 450,000 shares of the Company's common stock over the closing price of such number of shares on the day preceding the Starting Date. Entitlement to this second bonus shall vest at the rate of 33.333% per year commencing with the first anniversary of the Starting Date (subject to acceleration in certain events as provided below), and all or any part of each incremental vested portion shall be exercisable within five years from the date such increment first vested and payable in cash in the installments described below commencing on the earliest of (i) 90 days written notice from you to the Company, based on the average closing price of the Company's common shares, over the ten trading days immediately preceding receipt of such written 90 day notice outside of any blackout periods applicable to all insiders, (ii) termination of your employment (except for termination of your employment by the Company for "Cause" " or resignation by you without Good Reason), based on the average closing price of the Company's common shares over the ten trading days immediately preceding the date of termination, outside of any blackout periods applicable to all insiders ) or (iii) in case of a Liquidity Event as defined below, based on the price per share received by the Company's shareholders in the Liquidity Event as described herein. Payments of this Second Bonus shall be in quarterly installments equal to 10% of the Company's pretax net income (and with respect to the final quarterly payment, so much as may remain to be paid), including extraordinary gains and losses, as reported in the Company's financial statements contained within Form 10-QSB or Form 10-KSB (as the case may be) for the preceding quarter, payable each quarter within thirty (30) days following the determination of such pretax net income; provided, however, that any payments of this Second Bonus which are earned but remain outstanding as of the date of your termination/severance of employment shall be paid over a period of twelve (12) months as set forth under "Termination/Severance," below. The unpaid portion shall bear no interest and shall become immediately due and payable upon a Liquidity Event.

This Second Bonus may be replaced at the Company's sole option on or before February 28, 2007 with a grant of 340,000 restricted shares of Common Stock of the Company in accordance with an equity incentive compensation plan if such a plan is approved by the Company's shareholders at the Company's 2006 Annual Shareholders' Meeting (or other such special shareholders' meeting of the Company) vesting at the rate of 85,000 shares per year commencing January 2, 2007 or the grant date, whichever is later. Vested shares shall have no restrictions imposed with respect to their sale or transfer except those required by laws or regulations.  If the restricted stock grant is pursuant to the Company's general equity incentive plan for its key employees as approved by the Company's board of directors and shareholders, then the Company shall on a reasonably expedited basis and consistent with past practice, file a Registration Statement on Form S-8 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Acceleration

In the event of a transaction in which the Company's shareholders receive cash or marketable securities for their Company shares (a "Liquidity Event"), the vesting of the unvested restricted shares or portion of the second bonus will accelerate immediately prior to the Liquidity Event as follows: 100% of the total grant of restricted shares or second bonus if the consideration received by Pro-Dex shareholders is $5 per share or greater; 80% if between $4 and $5; and 60% if between $3 and $4.   All such price per share amounts in this letter will be proportionately adjusted in the event of a Company recapitalization such a stock split, stock dividend, reverse split, or the like.  

Termination/Severance

In the event you are terminated involuntarily by the Company without "Cause" or resign with "Good Reason" as defined below, the Company shall pay you your (i) salary up through the date of termination plus (ii) accrued vacation plus (iii) severance equal to $280,000 and (iv) any Annual Bonus or Second Bonus earned but not yet paid pursuant to this letter as of the termination date (the date you are terminated without "Cause" or upon which you resign with "Good Reason"), each of which shall be paid less applicable withholding as required by law.  With the exception of the earned amount of your Annual Bonus (to be paid within thirty (30) days of your termination), the severance payment referred to above shall be made in equal incremental payments, consistent with the Company's usual payroll payment periods, over a period of twelve (12) months immediately following your last day of employment with the Company. You hereby acknowledge that such severance will be the total and sole remedy for any claims by you, known or unknown, arising from your employment with the Company and you will be required prior to the receipt of such severance payments to execute a written separation agreement with the Company containing a general release of claims against the Company in form and content acceptable to both you and the Company and our respective counsel.  However, the release agreement will not alter your rights under the indemnification agreement.
