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. 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.  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.  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, 2007, $2,474,000 was expensed; an increase of $465,000 from the $2,009,000 expensed in the year ended June 30, 2006.  The addition of costs of Pro-Dex Astromec, our wholly owned subsidiary established in January 2006, accounted for $184,000 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.

 In fiscal year 2007, there was a $95,000 change in revenue from customer-funded research and development as there was $24,000 negative revenue from customer-funded research and development as fees were refunded due to cancelled development projects in the year ended June 30, 2007 compared to recognizing $71,000 in revenue in the year ended June 30, 2006.  The reduction in customer-funded research and development fees reflected efforts that were focused on pre-contract development work, upgrading current products and supporting warranty work

 

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. For the year ended June 30, 2007, $124,000 was recognized as cost of sales reflecting the recognition of inventory costs associated with the cancelled development projects, compared to $54,000 recognized as cost of sales for the year ended June 30, 2006, reflecting the completion of various development contracts during the year.

 

The Company’s revenue is derived from five main customer types.  The proportion of sales compared to our total sales, sales to each customer type and sales by location are noted in the tables below:

Medical product sales represent the manufacture of products that utilize proprietary designs developed by us 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 the Intraflow dental anesthesia product we acquired the rights to in October, 2005.  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, scientific research, 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 with the purchase of the assets of Astromec Inc., and establishing Pro-Dex Astromec Inc. in January 2006.  The products sold include reliable fractional horsepower DC motors designed for harsh environments primarily for the aerospace and medical markets. 

 

In 2007, the top 20 customers accounted for 77% of our sales, compared to 73% in 2006.  In 2007, our two largest customers accounted for 41% of such sales with the largest customer accounting for over 23% of our sales.  This compares to 2006 when our two largest customers accounted for 33% of our sales with the largest customer accounting for 22% of such sales.  Our larger customers, based on revenue, include Smith and Nephew, Medtronic, Sullivan Schein, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories, Monogram, and Benchmark Electronics.  In many 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.

In the second quarter of 2007, one of our major customers advised us that it plans to internally manufacture two of the products that we developed for them and have manufactured for the past four years.  This decision is consistent with this customer’s general strategy of vertical integration and their targeted time deadline for the transition is January 1, 2008.  This customer represents sales of $2,314,000 in 2007 and $1,431,000 in 2006.  At this point, the customer has purchased and has expressed its intention to continue to purchase some of the major components for these products from us, as these components contain our proprietary technology, although they are under no obligation to make such purchases.  Such major components could account for as much as 50% of the price of the fully manufactured product.  As a result of this advisement, no existing purchase orders were cancelled for these two products and the customer has placed a blanket purchase order for delivery of the products throughout calendar year 2007.  We have no other knowledge that other significant customers have any plans to discontinue their relationships with us, although the relationships may change over time.

 

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.

 

Our commitment to quality design and manufacturing are demonstrated by our three independently verified certifications for maintaining quality processes and products.  We hold the following certifications:  ISO 13485:2003, the Medical Device Directive 93\42\EEC Annex II, and CMDCAS (Canadian Medical Device Regulation).

 

At the present time, we are generally able to fill orders for recurring product within sixty (60) days from initial order receipt.  At June 30, 2007, we had a backlog, including orders for delivery beyond 60 days, of $10.1 million compared with a backlog of $11.7 million at June 30, 2006.  We expect to ship most of our backlog in fiscal year 2008 and the remainder in fiscal year 2009.  The decreased backlog from 2006 is due normal fluctuations in the timing of receipt and shipment of orders.  Backlog reductions in medical/dental products of approximately $1.1 million, due to the slow down in new product development, were offset by increases in motor component orders of approximately $0.5 million.  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; directly to the customer, directly to original equipment manufacturers and through a network of high technology and dental product distributors within North America.  Internationally, we maintain sales agreements with foreign distributors or sell through the domestic subsidiaries of foreign customers.

 

Competition 

            The markets for products in the healthcare, fractional motors, 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 us.

 

-6-


 


 

 

 

 

            We compete in all of our markets with other major healthcare, fractional motors, 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 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 2007 and 2006 were approximately $2.5 million and $2.0 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, fractional motor and motion control 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 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, 2007, we had 124 full-time employees compared to 122 full-time employees at June 30, 2006.  At June 30, 2007, there were 86 persons employed at the Santa Ana location, 26 persons employed at the Carson City location and 12 persons employed at the Beaverton location compared to 86 persons employed at the Santa Ana location, 24 persons employed at the Carson City location and 12 persons employed at the Beaverton location at June 30, 2006.  Due to the high level of shipments in the fourth quarter of 2007, the use of temporary labor from temporary staffing agencies was increased and we employed 7 agency temps at June 30, 2007, up from 2 agency temps at June 30, 2006.

 

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.

 

-7-


 


 

 

 

 

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.

 

Our 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.

 

Our management believes that we follow Good Manufacturing Practices for all of our products at each of our locations.

 

Patents, Trademarks, and Licensing Agreements

 

We hold patents relating to intraosseous dental anesthesia delivery, multi-axis motion controllers and our miniature rotary drive products.  Our patents have varying expiration dates.  The near term expiration of the patents, if any, is not expected to cause any change in the Company’s revenue generating operations as the revenue from the products associated with those patents would not be material.

 

We believe that the use of the patents acquired in connection with the 1995 OMS and Micro Motors acquisitions as well as the patents acquired with the intraosseous dental anesthesia delivery (“Intraflow”) acquisition is neither infringed upon by any third party, nor infringes upon any prior art of any third party.  We are unable to assess the validity, scope, or defensibility of our patents with any degree of certainty, and any challenge to or claim of infringement relating to our patents could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

 

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

 

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 which could negatively impact our results of operations and business conditions.   

            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.

 

 

-8-


 


 

 

 

 

            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. 

 

Our quarterly results can fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter which may negatively impact the price of our shares and/or provide significant variances in the prices at which such shares trade.

            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; the extent and timing of eligible product returned for repair or replacement under warranty coverage;  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 which, if not serviced properly, may result in a material adverse impact upon our business, results of operations and financial condition.

            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 and any failure or delay in addressing such change could adversely affect our competitive position or could make our current products obsolete.

 

-9-


 


 

 

 

 

            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.

            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 which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

            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.

            Many of our products are complex and technologically advanced.  Such products may, from time to time, be the subject of claims concerning product performance and construction, including warranty claims.   While we are committed to correcting such problems as soon as possible, there is no assurance that solutions can be found or found on a timely basis to satisfy customer demands and avoid potential claims or litigation.  Such matters could have a material and adverse effect upon 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 which, if not properly protected or deemed invalid, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

            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.

 

-10-


 


 

 

 

 

            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 by having a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.                 

            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.

 

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 maintain term key man life insurance policy for the CEO, and do not maintain key man life insurance on any other of our employees.  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, marketing 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 which may cost us significant amounts in both money and management time and resources.

            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.

 

Our evaluation of internal control and remediation of potential problems will be costly and time consuming and could expose weaknesses in financial reporting.

The regulations implementing Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 require management's assessment of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting beginning with our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2008.  Our independent auditors will be required to confirm in writing whether management's assessment of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting is fairly stated in all material respects, and separately report on whether they believe management maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2008.  This process will be expensive and time consuming, and will require significant attention of management.  Management can give no assurance that material weaknesses in internal controls will not be discovered. If a material weakness is discovered, corrective action may be time consuming, costly and further divert the attention of management.  The disclosure of a material weakness, even if quickly remedied, could reduce the market's confidence in our financial statements and harm our stock price, especially if a restatement of financial statements for past periods is required.

 

We are subject to changes in and interpretations of financial accounting matters that govern the measurement of our performance, compliance with which could be costly and time consuming.

 

               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.

 

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.

As of July 1, 2007, the base rent was increased to $22,500 per month and will increase to $30,000 per month in Mid-October on the facility located at 151 East Columbine Avenue, Santa Ana, California as we entered the “holdover” or “month to month” portion of the lease.  We identified a new facility and signed a lease in August, 2007 with an unrelated third party at a base monthly rental rate of approximately $31,000 for a 28,000 square foot one story building at 2361 McGaw Avenue, Irvine, Ca 92614, in order to relocate the executive offices and Santa Ana manufacturing facility in approximately January, 2008.  

 

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.  Beginning in the third quarter of 2007, an unrelated third party subleased approximately 2,500 square feet from us for $1,960 per month.  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.  We 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 we borrowed $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 $2,517,088. 

 

 We believe that the base monthly rental rates on the leased facilities are comparable to rents charged for comparable properties in the market area, while we believe the holdover rent is above market rates.  The current facility in Santa Ana is believed to be inadequate but the planned 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 4.   Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

 

No matter was submitted to a vote of our shareholders during the fourth quarter ended June 30, 2007.

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, 2007 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, 2007 we had $469,000 in accrued warranty reserves.  Of this amount, $163,000 was for known deficiencies and $306,000 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 fiscal 2007 or 2006.  We prepare our annual impairment testing on April 1 of each year.  We prepared an additional review of the intangible assets associated with the Astromec acquisition as of June 30, 2007. 

 

            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.

 

 

-15-


 


 

 

 

 

            Significant management judgment is required to determine our provision for income taxes and the recoverability of the deferred tax asset.  It is based on our estimates of future taxable income by jurisdiction in which we operate 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 2007 was a year of growth and recovery at Pro-Dex.  We grew our sales by over 26% in fiscal year 2007 and have now more than doubled sales in the five years since fiscal year 2002. The sales growth can be attributed to both organic growth as our medical products have been favorably accepted by the market, and acquisitive growth as the Pro-Dex Astromec business added over $3.5 million to our revenues in 2007.  We strengthened the Company’s financial position by generating almost $1.5 million in operating cash for the 2007 fiscal year, allowing us to reduce our debt by over $950,000.  By remaining profitable, we increased our tangible net worth per share by 8.6% from $0.81 per share to $0.88 per share.    

 

We accomplished more than increasing our sales and financially strengthening the Company in 2007.  We made significant advances in resolving the many engineering projects that were open at the end of 2006.  We have completed many of these projects, realizing the financial benefit of shipping slower moving inventory, while reestablishing more favorable positions with our current customers and freeing up resources to quote additional work.   We have begun to win new business from these efforts, and will realize new revenue in fiscal 2008 for the proposals submitted in 2007.  An exciting prospect of the recent “wins” and quotes is that efforts from all three Pro-Dex locations will be used to fulfill our customer needs, and we will begin to realize increasing synergies between our locations.  We have made substantial progress in the areas of Quality and Culture at Pro-Dex.  Finally, in 2007 we completed a building search that will result in the relocation of our Santa Ana, California headquarters, engineering and manufacturing facility to a larger, more efficient location in Irvine, California, 2.6 miles away.   

 

As in 2006, our margins were challenged.  Most significantly, we expensed $976,000 in warranty costs and accruals following the $709,000 expensed for such items in 2006.  We have invested substantial resources to resolve this issue and are continuing to do so.  The second issue impacting our margins is a less favorable sales mix in 2007 as compared to 2006.  When we purchased the assets of the business that became Pro-Dex Astromec, we understood that we were entering a business that had historic margins closer to those providing mechanical components, as opposed to the higher margins of our legacy medical and motion control/industrial businesses.  Understandably, our margins reflected this decision as we were impacted by a full year of Pro-Dex Astromec’s growing sales in 2007, as compared to a half year of such sales in 2006.  Another factor impacting the sales mix was a decline in industrial/motion control sales, as this area had a very favorable performance in 2006 highlighted by a large order from a single customer near the end of that year that was not repeated in 2007. 

 

As we enter fiscal 2008, we are beginning to see the results of the efforts pay off in improved product quality, better designs and more efficient manufacturing.  We believe we are changing the direction of the Company to provide an incrementally higher level of earnings in the coming years and have continued to transition Pro-Dex to a better, stronger, faster company.

           Net Sales.   Consolidated sales increased 26% or $4,502,000 to $21,563,000 from $17,061,000 for 2007, as compared to 2006.  Approximately $1,937,000 or 43% of the increase was due to including a full year of the performance of Pro-Dex Astromec as compared to including only 6 months of Pro-Dex Astromec performance in 2006 as Astromec was acquired in the beginning of January 2006.  Medical sales were higher by $3,006,000 or 47%, due to higher sales to our two largest customers by approximately the same amount.  Astromec medical sales increases of $672,000 were offset by an equivalent amount of decreases in sales to mid range medical customers and reductions in medical product development sales.  Shipments to dental customers increased by 13% as sales were reduced last year due to a one time $245,000 credit for the Intraflow product that was issued at the completion of the Intravantage asset acquisition in October 2005 (fiscal year 2006).  Without the effect of the credit, dental product sales rose $264,000 or 7%, due largely to an increase in Interflow sales of $149,000.  Sales to industrial customers decreased $436,000 or 12% from the same period in the prior year as sales to semiconductor related customers slowed.  Sales related to repairs, government and other customers had a $172,000 or 9% year over year increase in 2007 due to the increase in repair and upgrade work for products that were not warranty eligible. 

 

In fiscal year 2007, there was a $95,000 decrease in revenue from customer-funded research compared to 2006. $24,000 of the reduction in revenue from customer-funded research and development was the result of refunds due to cancelled development projects in the year ended June 30, 2007 compared to recognizing $71,000 in revenue in the year ended June 30, 2006.  The reduction in customer-funded research and development fees reflected efforts that were focused on pre-contract development work, upgrading current products and supporting warranty work

 

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.

Gross Profit The Company's consolidated gross profit for 2007 increased $791,000 or 12% compared to the gross profit in the previous year due to the higher medical product sales level and the inclusion of a full year of Pro-Dex Astromec.  Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased to 34% for the year ended June 30, 2007 compared to 39% for the year ended June 30, 2006.  The main factor in the margin decrease is change in the sales mix within the product lines.  The products that had the greatest effect on the margin were the reduced high margin industrial sales, combined with the consolidation of a full year of lower margin Pro-Dex Astromec sales, as this component business historically had margins in the 20% to 30% range.  Medical and dental margins remained stable.  Warranty costs weighed heavily on our gross margin as $819,000 of warranty costs were incurred in addition to an increase of $160,000 in accrued anticipated costs for a total expense of $979,000 for 2007 as compared to $400,000 in warranty costs and $309,000 in such accruals for a total expense of 709,000 for 2006.  As a percentage of sales, warranty costs accounted for approximately 4% reduction in gross margin in each such year.  Gross profit and gross profit percentage were as follows:

Selling, general and administrative costs (S, G&A).  S, G & A expenses increased 18% to $4,051,000 for the year ended June 30, 2007 from $3,421,000 for year ended June 30, 2006.  The increase in selling expense is mainly due to increased trade show and advertising expenditures of $56,000 combined with an increase in bad debt expense of $113,000.  General and administrative costs were higher primarily due to recognizing $242,000 in FAS 123(R) stock based compensation expenses and $105,000 for consolidating the full year of normal S, G & A costs at Pro-Dex Astromec into the total Pro-Dex S, G&A.  As a percentage of sales, S, G&A costs decreased from 20% to 19% due to the higher sales levels and ongoing cost containment efforts throughout the Company.  S, G & A costs were as follows:

Research and development costs.  Company funded research and development expenses increased $465,000 to $2,474,000 for the year ended June 30, 2007 from $2,009,000 for the year ended June 30, 2006, an increase of 23%.  The addition of a full year of Pro-Dex Astromec operations added $184,000 to total consolidated research and development costs.  The remainder of the increase was due to Company-funded project research costs associated with upgrading and developing line extensions for our current products.  Company-funded research and development costs were as follows:

Operating Profit and Operating Profit as a Percentage of Sales.  Our consolidated operating profit for the year ended June 30, 2007 decreased to $842,000 from an operating profit of $1,155,000 for the year ended June 30, 2006.  Consequently, operating profit as a percentage of sales decreased to 4% for the year ended June 30, 2007 compared to 7% for the year ended June 30, 2006.  Operating profit and margin were as follows:

 Royalties and Other Income.  We earned and received $38,000 in royalty payments in fiscal year 2007, compared to $51,000 in royalty payments in 2006.  The decline in royalty income resulted from a decrease in the sales of products subject to royalties in 2007.   

 

Net Interest Income/Expense.  Net interest expense was $301,000 in the year ended June 30, 2007, which included $319,000 in interest expense offset by $18,000 in interest income, compared to $25,000 which included $78,000 in interest expense offset by $53,000 in interest income, in the prior year as we carried a full year of our term debt obligations used to fund our asset acquisitions in 2006 as well as using the operating credit line throughout the year.  Included in the $301,000 is $68,000 in accrued interest relating to the ongoing IRS examination for the tax years ending June 30, 2004 and 2005.

 

Income Tax Provision.  Our effective income tax rate was 12% for the year ended June 30, 2007, compared to 28% for the year ended June 30, 2007.  Our effective income tax rate in 2007 decreased from 2006 primarily due to the realization of a fixed amount of research and development tax credits and lower taxable income. 

 

The Company is undergoing an examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) of the Federal income tax returns filed for the fiscal years ending June 30, 2004, June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2006.  Preliminary findings of the examination indicate that there may have been differences in the timing of our quarterly tax payments due to the treatment of overhead expenditures.  The company anticipates that these timing differences will result in $68,000 of interest and $14,000 of additional tax payments due to the IRS.  These amounts have been accrued and are included in accrued expenses and interest as of June 30, 2007.  Management does not believe there will be any material adjustments resulting from the examination beyond those described above.

 

            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 $506,000 or $0.05 per share, basic, and $0.05 per share, diluted, for the year ended June 30, 2007 compared to net income of $833,000 or $0.09 per share, basic, and $0.08 per share, diluted for the year ended June 30, 2006.  This decrease is due to the impact of the adoption of FAS 123(R) expenses recognized, increased reserves and other costs as discussed above.

2 Tangible book value/common share = (Total shareholders’ equity – Net intangible asset (patents) – Goodwill)/(basic outstanding shares)

 

3 DSO = Ending Net Accounts Receivable balance/(Previous Quarter Sales/91)

 

Our working capital at June 30, 2007 increased to approximately $6.6 million compared to approximately $6.1 million at June 30, 2006 as cash flow form operations was used to fund internal operations and pay down debt.  Cash flow provided by operations was $1,480,000 for the year ended June 30, 2007 compared to $55,000 for the year ended June 30, 2006.  Cash was provided through continued profitability offset by increases in inventory supporting the higher sales levels at the end of the fiscal year.  In the year ended June 30, 2007, we had a high level of non-cash charges associated with stock based compensation, increased reserves for warranty, doubtful accounts and obsolete inventory that amounted to $552,000 in addition to $487,000 in depreciation and amortization.  Management believes that our working capital needs over the next twelve months can be adequately supported by current operations.

 

In November 2006, 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, 2007), or LIBOR plus 2.50% (7.875% (one month) to 8.0% (three months) at June 30, 2007), at our discretion, based on outstanding borrowings with no minimum interest charge.  The outstanding borrowings are secured by all of our assets except the Carson City land and building.  There was a $300,000 outstanding balance under the terms of this credit facility as of June 30, 2007.  The total remaining eligible borrowing capacity at June 30, 2007 was $1,700,000.

 

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, 2007), or LIBOR plus 2.50% (7.875% (one month) to 8.0% (three months) at June 30, 2007), 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 our assets.  There was an outstanding balance of $645,833 under the terms of this term note as of June 30, 2007. 

 

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%.  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 a $1,619,121 outstanding balance under the terms of this mortgage as of June 30, 2007.

There are certain financial and non-financial covenants that we must meet to be in compliance with the terms of the November 2006 Wells Fargo credit facility, as amended, and the Union Bank mortgage.  At June 30, 2007, we were in compliance with all such covenants. 

At June 30, 2007, we had cash and cash equivalents of $403,000.  We believe that our cash and cash equivalents on hand, together with cash flows from operations, if any, and amounts available under the Well Fargo 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

 

 

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 8.   Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

 

None.

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, 2007, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports filed or submitted by the Company under the Exchange Act is accumulated, recorded, processed, summarized and reported to its management, including its principal executive officer and its principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding whether or not disclosure is required.

 

During the quarter ended June 30, 2007, there were no changes in the Company's 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, the Company's internal controls over financial reporting.

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 sheets of Pro-Dex, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of June 30, 2007 and 2006 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, 2007.  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, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in the two-year period ended June 30, 2007 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

PRO-DEX, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2007 and 2006

 

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Pro-Dex, Inc. 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. 

 

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 $111,000 and $141,000 for the years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.  The Company recognizes shipping costs in cost of sales as incurred.  The Company incurred shipping charges of approximately $77,000 and $118,000 for the years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. 

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of ninety days 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, 2007 and 2006:

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, 2007 or 2006.  We prepare our annual impairment testing on April 1 of each year and did additional testing as of June 30, 2007.  We have compared the estimated carrying value with the estimated fair value of the reporting unit and determined that the goodwill was not impaired.  Additionally, during the quarter ended June 30, 2007, 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, 2007 and 2006.  The stock repurchase plan has been reaffirmed as active, but has not been used as the market value per common share remained above $1.25 for the majority of 2007.

 

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.

 

Shipping and Handling

 

The Company includes payments from its customers for shipping and handling in its net revenues line item in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 00-1-, Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs.  Shipping expenses, which consist primarily of payments made to freight companies, are reported in cost of goods sold.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of cash and trade receivables.  The Company places its cash with major financial institutions.  At June 30, 2007 and 2006 and at various times throughout 2007 and 2006 the Company had deposits in excess of federally insured limits.  Credit sales are made to resellers located throughout the United States and Europe, and account for a substantial portion of trade receivables.  We determine collateral is not required for such receivables by monitoring the customers financial position and payment history. 

 

Stock Options and Warrants

 

In 2006, we accounted 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 were 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.

 

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 was effective for us at the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after December 15, 2005, which was our fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. Accordingly we began to report the expense of vested stock options in our financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 and had an earnings effect similar to that currently described in the Note Two of the consolidated financial statements.

 

-33-

 


 

 

 

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 and associated compensation cost 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 58% to 63% in 2007, of 35% to 42% in 2006; risk-free interest rates of approximately 4.4% to 5.1% in 2007 and 3.8% to 4.5% in 2006; and expected lives of five to eight 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 year ended June 30, 2006.

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.

 

-34-

 


 


 

 

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 or decrease the loss 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 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. 

 

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, 2007, $124,000 was recognized as cost of sales, compared to $54,000 recognized as cost of sales in the year ended June 30, 2006, reflecting the completion of various development contracts during the year.

 

The disclosure of  terms of the customer agreements, 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 November 2006, we renewed our credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank N.A. (“Wells Fargo”) for borrowings up to $2,000,000.  The credit facility terms require monthly interest payments at either the prime rate of interest (8.25% at June 30, 2007), or LIBOR plus 2.50% (7.875% (one month) to 8.0% (three months) at June 30, 2007), at our discretion, based on outstanding borrowings with no minimum interest charge.  The outstanding borrowings are secured by all assets of the Company except the Carson City land and building.  There was an outstanding balance of $300,000 under the terms of this credit facility as of June 30, 2007.  The total remaining eligible borrowing capacity at June 30, 2007 was $1,700,000.

 

 

-35-

 


 


 

 

In March 2006, we entered into a ten year real estate note 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 real estate 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 an outstanding balance of $1,619,121 under the terms of this real estate note as of June 30, 2007. 

 

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, 2007), or LIBOR plus 2.50% (7.875% (one month) to 8.0% (three months) at June 30, 2007), 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 $645,833 under the term note as of June 30, 2007. 

 

There are certain financial and non-financial covenants that we must meet to be in compliance with the terms of the November 2006 Wells Fargo credit facility, as amended, and the Union Bank mortgage.  At June 30, 2007, we were in compliance with all such covenants.

                       

NOTE 4 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

The Company leases its existing office and warehouse facilities in Santa Ana, California and Beaverton, Oregon.  The Santa Ana lease expired 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 that were not exercised.  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 2007 and 2006 was $310,000 and $333,000, respectively.  Future minimum lease payments for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2008 are:

2008

     38,000

Total

   $38,000

           

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 material actual, pending or threatened litigation at this time.

The Company has state tax credits of $201,000 and $124,000 for June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively that can be carried forward indefinitely until fully utilized.

 

The Company is currently undergoing an examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) of the Federal income tax returns filed for the fiscal years ending June 30, 2004, June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2006.  Preliminary findings of the examination indicate that there may have been differences in the timing of our quarterly tax payments due to the treatment of overhead expenditures.  The company anticipates that these timing differences will result in $68,000 of interest and $14,000 of additional tax payments due to the IRS.  These amounts have been accrued and are included in accrued expenses and interest as of June 30, 2007.  Management does not believe there will be any material adjustments resulting from the examination beyond those described above.

 

The Company’s policy to record tax expense, interest expense and associated penalties, if any, is to follow FAS 5 and record these potential liabilities when it is a more likely than not that the additional expense will be realized.

 

NOTE 6 - SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

 

Stock Options

 

The Board of Directors and the shareholders of the Company have approved and adopted two equity compensation plans, pursuant to which options to purchase or restricted shares may be granted in an aggregate of 2,500,000 shares of common stock that may be granted to officers, directors, and employees of the Company.   The employee stock option plan had 2,000,000 options to purchase shares and the directors’ plan had 500,000 options to purchase shares.  There are 352,045 options to purchase shares remaining under the employee option plan, and 195,000 options to purchase shares remaining under the directors option plan for a total of 547,045 shares remaining under both option plans at June 30, 2007 that are available to grant in future years.  The aggregate amount of shares available option plan available to employees was increased by 500,000 to the current level of shares available at the 2006 annual shareholders meeting.  New shares are created as such options are exercised or restricted shares are granted.  Share-based compensation expense reduced the company’s results of operations as shown:

The option plans are substantially similar, call for vesting as approved by the Board of Directors of six months for directors and up to five years for employees, and allow for the options to be outstanding for a period of up to ten years but are forfeited 30 days after the holder ceases to be an employee or director

 

Restricted Stock

 

In connection with the employment agreement with our Chief Executive Officer, a restricted stock grant of 340,000 shares of common stock was made in February 2007.  These shares vest in four equal installments after the initial vesting of 25% or 85,000 per year over an additional 3 years.  The common stock price at the date of the grant was $1.38.  New shares are issued with the issuance of each installment of restricted stock.  The fair value of the grant is calculated as the number of shares multiplied by the grant price.  The compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period of the grant.  Approximately $156,000 in compensation expense for the restricted stock was recognized in fiscal year 2007.

NOTE 9 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT

 

On August 17, 2007, we entered into a lease agreement for a new engineering, manufacturing and corporate headquarters facility in Irvine, California.  The lease is for approximately 28,180 square feet of office and industrial space located at 2361 McGaw Avenue, Irvine, California.  The original term of the lease is ten (10) years. The monthly base rental rate is $30,998 per month, with annual increase in monthly base rent of $1,409, plus initial common area expenses estimated to be approximately $3,736 per month.  The Company may terminate the lease after the 72nd month of its term upon 270 days prior notice to the landlord and the payment of $125,000.  The Company plans to transition from its current facility in Santa Ana to the new facility in approximately  January 2008.  We expect to spend approximately $1,500,000 in capitalized leasehold improvements and other associated costs to prepare and move into the new facility.
