NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Pro-Dex, Inc. ("we", "us", "our", "Pro-Dex" or the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-K. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2016.
Recent Accounting Standards
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers," which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. ASU 2014-09 requires an entity to recognize revenue depicting the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 also requires enhanced revenue related disclosures. Subsequently, the FASB has issued the following standards related to ASU 2014-09: ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): "Principal versus Agent Considerations"; ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): "Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing"; and ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): "Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients". In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and early adoption of the standard is permitted, but not before the original effective date of December 15, 2017. This update permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The ASU also requires expanded disclosures relating to the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Additionally, qualitative and quantitative disclosures are required about customer contracts, significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. While we are still in the process of evaluating the effect of adoption on our consolidated financial statements and are currently assessing our contracts with customers, we do not currently expect a material impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial position. We anticipate we will expand our consolidated financial statement disclosures in order to comply with the new ASU. We have not yet concluded on our transition method upon adoption, but plan to select a transition method by the end of fiscal 2017.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, (Topic 842) "Leases". The objective of this update is to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods and is to be applied utilizing a modified retrospective approach. While we are still in the process of evaluating the effect of adoption on our consolidated financial statements and are currently assessing our leases, we expect the adoption will lead to a material increase in the assets and liabilities recorded on our consolidated balance sheet.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718) "Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting". This update simplifies the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. Based on the fact that all of our issued and outstanding options are fully vested, this guidance will impact our accounting based upon future grants of stock based awards, if any.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), "Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments". This update provides guidance on eight specific cash flow issues: (1) debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs; (2) settlement of zero-coupon bonds; (3) contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; (4) proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; (5) proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, including bank-owned life insurance policies; (6) distributions received from equity method investees; (7) beneficial interests in securitization transactions; and (8) separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the application of this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Reclassifications
The short-term portion of deferred rent, in the amount of $79,000 as of June 30, 2016, has been reclassified to accrued liabilities to conform to the current period presentation. As described in more detail in Note 3 below, the assets sold subsequent to December 31, 2016 relating to the Company's Oregon Micro Systems ("OMS") division have been reclassified as assets held for sale in accordance with applicable accounting guidance. These balance sheet reclassifications had no impact on our condensed consolidated statement of operations.
NOTE 2. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
We specialize in the design and manufacture of powered surgical and dental instruments, and serve such markets as medical, research and industrial. Pro-Dex's products are found in hospitals, dental offices, and medical engineering labs around the world.
During fiscal 2015 we acquired Fineline Molds ("Fineline") and Huber Precision ("Huber"), businesses that manufacture plastic injection molds and machined parts, respectively, for a wide variety of industries. We also provide engineering consulting and placement services, as well as quality and regulatory consulting services through our Engineering Services Division.
Through January 27, 2017, we also designed and manufactured multi-axis motion control systems used in factory automation and scientific research markets and these products can be found in scientific research facilities and high tech manufacturing operations around the world. (See Note 3)
NOTE 3. ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
On January 27, 2017, we sold certain of the assets and the business operations of our OMS division located in Beaverton Oregon. We sold the business to our long time general manager of the division. The sale was structured as an asset sale as disclosed in a Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 30, 2017. The aggregate sales price received was $640,000, subject to adjustment based upon the value of the OMS receivables at the date of close, and no liabilities other than warranty obligations were assumed by the buyer. As a result of the sale, this division has been classified as a discontinued operation in conformity with applicable accounting guidance and the assets that were sold have been reclassified as assets held for sale on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Accordingly, unless otherwise indicated, OMS's results have been reported as discontinued operations and removed from all financial discussions of continuing operations.

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

Less accumulated amortization | (78 | ) | (161 | ) | ||||
$ | 331 | $ | 451 |
Capitalized software development costs relate to internally developed software, which was fully amortized during last fiscal year and both the software development costs and corresponding accumulated amortization were offset during the first quarter of fiscal 2017. Both the covenant not to compete and the customer list and backlog relate to assets acquired in conjunction with the business acquisitions described in Note 2 above and are being amortized over various periods not to exceed ten years. The customer backlog has been fully amortized and both the cost and related accumulated amortization have been offset during the current fiscal year. During the first quarter of fiscal 2017, we recognized an impairment charge for the remaining un-amortized customer list related to the Huber business in the amount of $113,000, as we do not expect there to be any significant future cash flows resulting from these customer relationships. The trade name relates exclusively to Fineline and has an indefinite life, subject to impairment loss assessment annually, or more frequently if certain conditions exist. Patent-related costs consist of legal fees incurred in connection with both patent applications and a patent issuance, and will be amortized over the estimated life of the product(s) that is or will be utilizing the technology, or expensed immediately in the event the patent office denies the issuance of the patent.
NOTE 5. DUE FROM FACTOR
On September 9, 2015, we entered a Loan and Security Agreement (the "Summit Loan") with Summit Financial Resources LP, (the "Factor") whereby we can borrow up to $1.0 million against our eligible receivables, as defined in the agreement. Borrowed funds will bear interest at a rate of prime plus 2 percent (5.75%), and incur an additional administrative fee of 0.7 percent on the monthly average outstanding balance. The Summit Loan has an initial period of 18 months with successive one year renewal options and requires an annual facility fee of $10,000. Pursuant to the terms of the Summit Loan, during the third quarter of fiscal 2017 we informed Summit of our intent to terminate the loan in accordance with its initial loan commitment period ending on March 9, 2017. We have commenced preliminary discussions with our bank to obtain a revolving credit facility with them. As of the present time, there is no additional facility available to us, nor can we provide any assurance that there will be in the future.

(UNAUDITED)
As of December 31, 2016, the total amount of receivables that have been assigned to the Factor pursuant to the Summit Loan is $2.4 million and we bear the risk of loss in the event of non-payment by the customers. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2016, we borrowed $200,000 and $600,000, respectively, under the Summit Loan, which amounts were paid in full by December 31, 2016. Therefore, at December 31, 2016, we had no outstanding borrowings against the Summit Loan.
NOTE 6. WARRANTY
The warranty accrual is based on historical costs of warranty repairs and expected future identifiable warranty expenses, and is included in accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016, the warranty reserve amounted to $418,000 and $365,000, respectively. Warranty expenses are included in cost of sales in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Changes in estimates to previously established warranty accruals result from current period updates to assumptions regarding repair costs and warranty return rates, and are included in current period warranty expense. Warranty expense relating to new product sales and changes to estimates for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 was $144,000 and $73,000, respectively, and for the six months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 was $214,000 and $178,000, respectively.

NOTE 7. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
The Company calculates basic net income (loss) per share by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding reflects the effects of potentially dilutive securities, in income generating periods, which consist entirely of outstanding stock options.
The following table presents reconciliations of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share computations for net income (loss). In the tables below, income (loss) amounts represent the numerator, and share amounts represent the denominator (in thousands, except per share amounts):

NOTE 8. INVESTMENT IN RAMSEY PROPERTY AND RELATED NOTES RECEIVABLE
In November 2014, the Company purchased two promissory notes through a Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement in the amount of $1.2 million. The promissory notes were cross-collateralized and originally secured by (collectively, the "Collateral"), among other things, real property consisting of 2.3 acres of land and an approximate 30,000 square foot industrial building and a security interest in substantially all of the assets of Riverside Manufacturing, Inc. ("Riverside") (consisting primarily of machine shop equipment and accounts receivable).
During the third quarter of fiscal 2015, we entered into forbearance agreements with Riverside whereby we agreed to forbear from enforcing our rights under the promissory notes until July 31, 2015. Additionally, we entered into a revolving loan agreement, whereby we agreed to advance Riverside from time-to-time up to an aggregate amount of $200,000 at any time prior to July 31, 2015. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, we amended the revolving loan agreement to provide for advances to Riverside of up to an aggregate amount of $300,000 under a Revolving Loan Modification Agreement. The $86,000 reflected on the Company's condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended December 31, 2015 as Purchase of Investment in Ramsey property and related notes receivable represents an extension of credit under the amended revolving loan agreement.
Additionally, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, we entered a settlement agreement such that we received the deed to the land and building located in Ramsey, Minnesota (the "Ramsey Property") which had previously been held as security for notes receivable. The notes were considered impaired because we did not receive any contractual payments. Accordingly, the recorded investment was reflected at the lesser of the purchase price or the estimated fair value of the collateral (with appropriate reductions for estimated disposal costs).
On September 22, 2015 we sent Riverside a proposal to accept the collateral in full satisfaction of Riverside's debt. On October 13, 2015, title to the collateral transferred to the Company by operation of law. Therefore, on October 13, 2015, we took possession of all assets secured by the revolving loan agreement and promissory notes and Riverside ceased to operate.
During the six months ended December 31, 2015 we collected $277,000 from selling inventory and equipment and collecting outstanding receivables, all of which served as collateral for Riverside's debt.
NOTE 9. INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
Significant management judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes and the recoverability of our deferred tax assets. Such determination is based primarily on our historical taxable income, with some consideration given to our estimates of future taxable income by jurisdictions in which we operate and the period over which our deferred tax assets would be recoverable. During the second quarter of fiscal year ending June 30, 2017, we released approximately $3.8 million of valuation allowance because we now believe it is more likely than not that we will be able to generate sufficient levels of profitability to realize substantially all of our deferred tax assets.
As of December 31, 2016, we have accrued $459,000 of unrecognized tax benefits related to federal and state income tax matters. This entire balance is expected to reduce the Company's income tax expense if recognized and result in a corresponding decrease in the Company's effective tax rate.

We recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits when applicable. As of December 31, 2016, no interest or penalties applicable to our unrecognized tax benefits have been accrued since we have sufficient tax attributes available to fully offset any potential assessment of additional tax.
Pro-Dex and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax, as well as income tax of multiple state tax jurisdictions. We are currently open to audit under the statute of limitations by the Internal Revenue Service for the years ended June 30, 2013 and later. Our state income tax returns are open to audit under the statute of limitations for the years ended June 30, 2012 and later. We do not anticipate a significant change to the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.
NOTE 10. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
Through June 2014 we had two equity compensation plans, the Second Amended and Restated 2004 Stock Option Plan (the "Employee Stock Option Plan") and the Amended and Restated 2004 Directors' Stock Option Plan (the "Directors' Stock Option Plan") (collectively, the "Former Stock Option Plans"). There was no share-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended December 31, 2016 as all outstanding options are fully vested. Share-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended December 31, 2015 was $0 and $2,000, respectively
In June 2014, our Board of Directors terminated the Employee Stock Option Plan, with the provision that options outstanding under the Employee Stock Option Plan will remain outstanding in accordance with their respective terms. At the date of termination, 531,381 shares were reserved for issuance under the Employee Stock Option Plan in excess of shares issuable pursuant to outstanding options, all of which shares were reallocated for issuance under the provisions of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan described below.
In September 2014, our Board approved the inclusion in our proxy statement for approval by our shareholders at the 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders its recommendation to terminate the Directors' Stock Option Plan, which proposal was approved by our shareholders at the December 3, 2014 Annual Meeting. At September 30, 2014, 173,334 shares were reserved for issuance under the Directors' Stock Option Plan, all of which shares were reallocated for issuance under the provisions of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan described below.
In September 2016, our Board approved the establishment of the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan, which was approved by our shareholders at the November 29, 2016 Annual Meeting. The 2016 Equity Incentive Plan provides for the award of up to 1,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock in the form of incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted stock units, performance awards and other stock-based awards. As of December 31, 2016, no awards have been granted from the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In September 2014, our Board approved the establishment of an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP"), which was approved by our shareholders at the December 3, 2014 Annual Meeting. The ESPP conforms to the provisions of Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code, has coterminous offering and purchase periods of six months, and bases the pricing to purchase shares of our common stock on a formula so as to result in a per share purchase price that approximates a 15% discount from the market price of a share of our common stock at the end of the purchase period. The Board of Directors also approved the provision that shares formerly reserved for issuance under the Former Stock Option Plans in excess of shares issuable pursuant to outstanding options under those plans, aggregating 704,715 shares, be reserved for issuance pursuant to the ESPP. During the first quarter ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, 2,056 and 1,925 shares were purchased, respectively, and allocated to employees based upon their contributions at prices of $4.91 and $2.34, respectively, per share. On a cumulative basis, since the inception of the ESPP plan, employees have purchased a total of 7,652 shares. During the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 we did not record any stock compensation expense, due to the fact that no six month offering period ended during either quarter. During the six months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, we recorded stock compensation expense in the amount of $2,000 and $1,000, respectively, relating to the ESPP.

NOTE 12. NOTES PAYABLE AND FINANCING TRANSACTIONS
Summit Financial Resources LP
As discussed in Note 5, on September 9, 2015 we entered into the Summit Loan, whereby we can borrow up to $1.0 million against our eligible receivables, as defined in the agreement. Borrowed funds will bear interest at a rate of prime plus 2 percent (5.75%), and incur an additional administrative fee of 0.7 percent on the monthly average outstanding balance. The Summit Loan has an initial period of 18 months with successive one year renewal options and requires an annual facility fee of $10,000. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2016 we borrowed $200,000 and 600,000, respectively, under the Summit Loan, which amounts were paid in full by December 31, 2016. Pursuant to the terms of the Summit Loan, during the third quarter of fiscal 2017 we informed Summit of our intent to terminate the loan in accordance with its initial loan commitment period ending on March 9, 2017.
Jules & Associates
On July 21, 2016, we entered a master equipment lease agreement with Jules and Associates, Inc. to lease a specific machine used in our inspection process. The cost of the equipment was approximately $106,000 and the lease provides for 36 monthly payments in the amount of $3,121, as well as interim rent in the amount of $7,388. The lease was subsequently assigned to Hitachi Capital America Corporation. The balance owed on the lease as of December 31, 2016 is approximately $89,000.
Fineline Molds
In conjunction with our acquisition of the assets of Fineline (see Note 2), we issued a promissory note to Fineline in the amount of $100,000 which bears interest at 4% per annum and requires sixteen equal quarterly payments of principal and accrued interest in the amount of $6,794. The note is secured by all of the assets acquired by us from Fineline and is subordinate to the security interest created by the Summit Loan. The balance owed on the note as of December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016 was approximately $58,000 and $70,000 respectively.
Fortitude Income Funds
The Company borrowed $500,000 from Fortitude Income Funds, LLC ("Fortitude") under a promissory note dated September 8, 2015. The loan bore interest at 12 percent per annum, contained a loan origination fee of $15,000 plus expenses, and required monthly interest only payments until its maturity originally scheduled on March 15, 2016. The loan was repaid in full on February 22, 2016.
NOTE 13. SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM
In September, 2013 our Board approved a share repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase up to 750,000 shares of our common stock. In accordance with, and as part of, this share repurchase program, our Board approved, on March 22, 2016, the adoption of a prearranged share repurchase plan intended to qualify for the safe harbor Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("10b5-1 Plan" or "Plan"). The Plan became effective on March 23, 2016 and terminated on July 6, 2016 in accordance with its provisions. During the quarter ended September 30, 2016, we repurchased 9,107 shares at an aggregate cost of $49,000, inclusive of fees pursuant to this Plan. Additionally, during the quarter ended September 30, 2016, the Board approved a subsequent 10b5-1 Plan, which became effective on September 8, 2016 and terminates on the earlier of September 8, 2017 or when and if the maximum shares are repurchased. During the quarter ended December 31, 2016, the Investment Committee of the Board approved an additional concurrently running 10b5-1 Plan, which became effective on December 8, 2016 and terminates on the earlier of December 8, 2017 or when and if the maximum shares are repurchased. During the quarter ended December 31, 2016, we repurchased 26,668 shares at an aggregate cost of $119,000 inclusive of fees under the Plans. On a cumulative basis, we have repurchased a total of 205,236 shares under the share repurchase program at an aggregate cost of $777,000. All repurchases under the 10b5-1 Plans were administered through an independent broker.

NOTE 14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Matters
In September 2015, Pro-Dex Sunfish Lake, LLC ("PDSL") a subsidiary of the Company foreclosed its lien against the assets of Riverside (see Note 8). After the foreclosure, Scott Robertson (the former president of Riverside), Riverside and Heron Enterprises, LLC, an affiliated entity, asserted claims of breach of contract, fraudulent inducement and wrongful self-help eviction among others, against PDSL and another subsidiary of the Company, Pro-Dex Riverside LLC ("PDR"). PDSL and PDR asserted various claims, including slander of title, fraudulent misrepresentation, conversion and theft against each of those parties, in turn. In October 2016, the parties filed lawsuits against one another asserting the aforementioned claims. We are unable to quantify the value of the respective claims at this time, as the damages are unspecified in the pleadings. However, prior to the filing of the lawsuits, Mr. Robertson requested payment of $250,000 to fully settle the matter. We intend to pursue our claims and vigorously defend against the claims against us. While we believe that we are likely to prevail should this matter go to trial, there can be no assurances that we will prevail.
In addition to the matter described above we are from time to time a party to various legal proceedings incidental to our business. There can be no certainty, however, that we may not ultimately incur liability or that such liability will not be material and adverse.
NOTE 15. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is measured based on the prices that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements are based on a three-tier hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents is considered to be representative of their fair values based on the short term nature of these instruments. As such, cash and cash equivalents are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.
Investments: Investments consist of marketable equity securities of publicly traded companies. As such, investments are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.
Although the methods above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of the net realizable value or reflective of future fair values, we believe the valuation methods are appropriate.
NOTE 16. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On January 27, 2017, the Company entered into an Agreement for Sale and Purchase of Business Assets (the "Sale Agreement"), to sell certain assets of the OMS division as well as the operations of the business, for an amount of $640,000, subject to adjustment based upon the value of the OMS receivables at the date of close. The Sales Agreement is included in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 30, 2017, and the sale of the OMS division is expected to generate a gain on sale of the division in an amount of approximately $0.3 million to be recorded in the third quarter of fiscal 2017. See Note 3 for additional details.

ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes and other financial information appearing elsewhere in this report.
COMPANY OVERVIEW
The following discussion and analysis provides information that management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the results of operations and financial condition of Pro-Dex, Inc. ("Company", "Pro-Dex", "we", "our" or "us") for the three and six-month periods ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto included elsewhere in this report. This report contains certain forward-looking statements and information. The cautionary statements included herein should be read as being applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they may appear. Our actual future results could differ materially from those discussed herein.
Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters discussed in this report, including, but not limited to, discussions of our product development plans, business strategies, strategic opportunities and market factors influencing our results, are forward-looking statements that involve certain risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ from those anticipated by us as a result of various factors, both foreseen and unforeseen, including, but not limited to, our ability to continue to develop new products and increase sales in markets characterized by rapid technological evolution, consolidation within our target marketplace and among our competitors, competition from larger, better capitalized competitors, and our ability to realize returns on opportunities. Many other economic, competitive, governmental and technological factors could impact our ability to achieve our goals. You are urged to review the risks, uncertainties and other cautionary language described in this report, as well as in our other public disclosures and reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") from time to time, including, but not limited to, the risks, uncertainties and other cautionary language discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended June 30, 2016.
We design and manufacture hand-held medical devices for use in orthopedic and craniomaxillofacial ("CMF") surgical applications. We also design and manufacture dental instruments. Experience in surgical devices allows us to develop products that require high precision in harsh environments. Our products are found in hospitals, dental offices, and medical engineering labs around the world.
In addition to our principal operations described above, our Fineline Molds division, located in San Dimas, California manufactures plastic injection molds for a wide variety of industries . We also provide engineering consulting and placement services, as well as quality and regulatory consulting services through our Engineering Services Division. The names Huber Precision, a division of Pro-Dex, and Fineline Molds, a division of Pro-Dex, are used to distinguish our acquired businesses and we have filed fictitious name statements in the counties in which we operate these divisions.
Through January 27, 2017, our OMS division located in Beaverton, Oregon developed, designed and manufactured multi-axis motion controllers. These products are often found in scientific research facilities and high tech manufacturing operations around the world.

Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated results of operation presented in this report are not audited and those results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entirety of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2017 or any other interim period during such fiscal year. Our fiscal year ends on June 30 and our fiscal quarters end on September 30, December 31, and March 31. Unless otherwise stated, all dates refer to our fiscal year and those fiscal quarters.
Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). The preparation of our financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
An accounting policy is deemed to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, and if different estimates that reasonably could have been used or changes in the accounting estimate that are reasonably likely to occur could materially change the financial statements. Management believes that there have been no significant changes during the three and six months ended December 31, 2016 to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016.
Business Strategy and Future Plans
Our business today is almost entirely driven by sales of our medical devices. Many of our significant customers place purchase orders for specific products that were developed under various development and/or supply agreements. Our customers may request that we design and manufacture a custom surgical device or they may hire us as a contract manufacturer to manufacture a product of their own design. In either case, we have extensive experience with autoclavable, battery-powered and electric, multi-function surgical drivers and shavers. We continue to focus a significant percentage of our time and resources on providing outstanding products and service to our valued principal customers. Additionally, in the current fiscal year we have realized measurable cost reductions due to our investment in machinery and equipment.
Simultaneously, we are working to build top-line sales through active proposals of new medical device products with new and existing customers, and anticipate completing a significant ongoing engineering project during the third quarter of fiscal 2017. Our patented adaptive torque-limiting has been very well received in the CMF market and we therefore anticipate continued investment in this area with research and development focused on applying this technology to other surgical applications. Additionally, we continue to seek additional revenue streams through our Engineering Services Division ("ESD") by offering both temporary/contract and full-time employee placements to other customers in diverse industries.
As described more fully in Notes 3 and 16 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this report, we sold our OMS division on January 27, 2017. Although unsolicited, this divestiture and resulting capital infusion will allow us to further invest in our core medical device product development efforts.
In summary, our current objectives are focused primarily on maintaining our relationships with our current medical device customers, completing our ongoing development projects, investing in additional research and development activities to bring new medical device products to market, and continuing to promote active product development proposals to new and existing customers for both orthopedic shavers and screw drivers for a multitude of surgical applications, while monitoring closely the progress of all these individual endeavors. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in any of these objectives.

Certain of our medical device products utilize proprietary designs developed by us under exclusive development and supply agreements. All of our medical device products utilize proprietary manufacturing methods and know-how, and are manufactured in our Irvine, California facility, as are our dental products, which are sold primarily to original equipment manufacturers and dental product distributors. We manufacture plastic injection molds in our San Dimas, California facility, a revenue stream generated from our acquisition of Fineline during the third quarter of fiscal 2015.
Sales of our medical device products and related development services decreased $93,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and increased $1.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2016 compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year. Our medical device revenue to our largest customer increased $1.1 million and $2.2 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended December 31, 2016 compared the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year, due to an increase in sales of a surgical handpiece designed to be used in orthopedic surgery applications as we completed our production level ramp to ship to the expected 150 units per month that the customer has requested during the second quarter of this fiscal year. Separately, our former largest customer has replaced a primary product that we had sold to them with one that they manufacture in-house. Sales to this customer decreased by $900,000 and $1.0 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended December 31, 2016 compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year. The decline in sales to this customer is also the primary reason for the reduction in repair revenue for the three and six months ended December 31, 2016 compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year. We expect our repair revenue for the remainder of fiscal 2017 will continue to be less than in the prior year as our other primary medical device products are relatively new and most repairs are covered under warranty.
Our dental and component revenue are generated from sales to many distributors and end-users whose purchasing activity can vary widely from year to year. These are legacy products, which although they continue to sell to many long-held customers, have not had a product line refresh, which may be a contributing factor to the 72% and 35% decline in sales for the three and six months ended December 31, 2016, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year.
At December, 2016, we had a backlog of approximately $16.8 million, of which $8.9 million is scheduled to be delivered in fiscal 2017 and the balance is scheduled to be delivered next fiscal year. Of the backlog, $11.5 million relates to purchase orders received from our largest customer and approximately $163,000 relates to Fineline Molds. We may experience variability in our new order bookings due to various reasons, including, but not limited to, the timing of major new product launches and customer planned inventory builds. However, we do not typically experience seasonal fluctuations in our shipments and revenues.

Cost of sales for the three months ended December 31, 2016 decreased $518,000 or 14 percent compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. The decrease in total costs of sales is consistent with the 12 percent decrease in revenue for the same period. Under-absorption of manufacturing costs increased by $62,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2016 compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year due primarily to adjustments made to lower our standard labor and overhead rates at the beginning of fiscal 2017 in anticipation of higher manufacturing volumes. Costs relating to inventory and warranty charges increased by $56,000 for the second quarter ended December 31, 2016 compared to the second quarter of the prior fiscal year. The warranty accrual estimate increased due to higher volume of sales of specific products in the current fiscal year versus the prior fiscal year.
Gross profit decreased by approximately $114,000 or 8 percent for the three months ended December 31, 2016 compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year, primarily as a result of the decrease in revenue discussed above. Gross margin as a percentage of sales increased by approximately 1 percentage points compared to the corresponding period of the prior year due primarily to the cost savings introduced in the current quarter due to our investment in machinery and equipment that has allowed us to make certain machined parts that had been previously out-sourced.
Cost of sales for the six months ended December 31, 2016 increased by $301,000 or 5 percent compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year, primarily due to the increase revenue of 8 percent for the same period, the reasons for which are discussed above. Additionally, product cost for the six months ended December 31, 2015 includes an accrual of approximately $78,000 relating to estimated contract losses for certain engineering development projects that are now complete. There are no similar accruals recorded in product costs for the six months ended December 31, 2016. Finally, cost of sales reflects a $184,000 increase in under-absorbed manufacturing costs as we are under-absorbed by $7,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2016, due to anticipated increased manufacturing volumes.
23 |
Gross profit increased $404,000 or 17 percent, for the six months ended December 31, 2016 compared to the corresponding period of the prior year, primarily as a result of the increases in revenue of 8 percent and the cost savings discussed above. Gross margin increased by approximately 2 percentage points, compared to the corresponding period of the prior year.

Selling expenses consist of salaries and other personnel-related expenses for our business development departments as well as advertising and marketing expenses, and travel and related costs incurred in generating and maintaining our customer relationships. Selling expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2016 decreased $64,000, or 28 percent, and increased $27,000, or 7 percent, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods of fiscal 2016. Approximately $28,000 and $22,000, respectively, of the decrease for the three months ended December 31, 2016 compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year is attributable to reduced personnel related costs and the resulting reduction in allocated costs in the ESD division and our business development department supporting our medical device customers. The remaining decrease of approximately $14,000 relates to our former Huber Precision location, which was closed on November 30, 2015. For the six months ended December 31, 2016, the increase of $27,000 relates primarily to an increase of $89,000 in expenses of the Huber Precision division due to the impairment charge of approximately $113,000 recorded during the first quarter of fiscal 2017 relating to the customer list acquired in conjunction with our Huber acquisition, as we do not expect there to be any significant future cash flows resulting from these customer relationships. This increase was offset by approximately $49,000 in reduced personnel related costs and the resulting reduction in allocated costs to the ESD division and reduced personnel cost of approximately $26,000 relating to the Fineline division.
General and administrative expenses ("G&A") consists of salaries and other personnel-related expenses of our accounting, finance and human resource personnel, as well as costs for outsourced information technology services, professional fees, directors' fees, and other costs and expenses attributable to being a public company. G&A increased $153,000 during the three months ended December 31, 2016 and increased $183,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2016, respectively, when compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year. The increase in total G&A expenses was primarily related to legal expenses incurred most of which relate to the ongoing litigation described in Note 14 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this report as well as bonus expenses of $62,000 and $96,000 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2016.
Research and development costs generally consist of salaries, employer paid benefits, and other personnel related costs of our engineering and support personnel, as well as allocated facility and information technology costs, professional and consulting fees, patent-related fees, lab costs, materials, and travel and related costs incurred in the development and support of our products. Research and development costs for the three months ended December 31, 2016 remained relatively flat compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. Our personnel expenses have declined for the three and six months ended December 31, 2016 compared to the corresponding prior year periods in response to fewer customer development projects in the current fiscal year versus the prior fiscal year. Research and development expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2016 increased by $53,000, or 10 percent, compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year due primarily to increased internal project investments of approximately $26,000 and an increase of approximately $30,000 in allocated costs.
24 |
Interest Expense
Interest expense consists primarily of interest expense related to the loans and notes payable described more fully in Note 12 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this report and capital lease obligations for leased equipment. The decrease in interest expense for the three and six months ended December 31, 2016 compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year relates to the repayment of the Fortitude loan.
Income Tax Benefit
The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 are lower than statutory tax rates due to our utilization of federal and state loss carryforwards. Additionally, during the second quarter of fiscal 2017 we released a valuation allowance in the amount of $3.8 million on the basis of management's reassessment of the amount of its deferred tax assets that are more likely than not to be realized. As of December 31, 2016, in part because in the current fiscal quarter, we achieved three years of cumulative pre-tax income, we have determined that it is more likely than not that deferred taxes in the amount of $3.8 million are realizable and therefore, we reversed the valuation allowance accordingly. (See Note 9 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this report.)

Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $760,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2016 primarily due to pre-tax income from continuing operations of $570,000 and non-cash depreciation and amortization totaling $275,000 and a non-cash impairment of intangible assets of $113,000. Uses of cash arose from an increase in accounts receivable of $493,000 as well as an increase in deferred costs of $344,000 due to expenditures related to a development contract that has not yet reached the revenue recognition stage under the applicable accounting guidance. Offsetting these uses of cash was an increase in accounts payable, accrued liabilities and deferred rent, aggregating $245,000 and an increase in deferred revenue in the amount of $240,000.
Net cash used in operating activities during the six months ended December 31, 2015 amounted to $328,000. Uses of cash arose from an increase in accounts receivable of $383,000, primarily due to increased sales late in the second quarter ended December 31, 2015, an increase in inventory purchases of $171,000, a decrease in accounts payable, accrued liabilities and deferred rent, aggregating $778,000, due primarily to payments made during the six months ended December 31, 2015 for inventory purchases as well as a decrease in deferred revenue of $312,000 upon completion of a development contract. Sources of cash arose from our net income of $265,000, a decrease of $745,000 in unbilled receivables related primarily to the completion of a product development contract in the second quarter ended December 31, 2015, accounted for under the completed contract method of accounting, and non-cash depreciation and amortization of $334,000.
Investing Activities
During the six months ended December 31, 2016 we invested $300,000 in marketable equity securities of a publicly traded company and made capital expenditures primarily for manufacturing equipment in the amount of $376,000.
Net cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended December 31, 2015 was $183,000 due primarily to proceeds of $277,000 received from the liquidation of a portion of the collateral underlying our investment in Ramsey property and related notes receivable offset by additional extension of credit made in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 in the amount of $86,000.
Financing Activities
During the six months ended December 31, 2016 we spent $168,000 on the repurchase of company common stock pursuant to the share repurchase program described in more detail Note 13 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this report.
26 |
Cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended December 31, 2015 was $501,000 and primarily related to the Fortitude Income Funds, LLC promissory note described Note 12 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this report.
Financing Facilities & Liquidity Requirements for the next twelve months
On September 9, 2015, we entered a Loan and Security Agreement with Summit Financial Resources LP, (the "Summit Loan") whereby we can borrow up to $1.0 million against our eligible receivables, on a revolving basis, as defined in the agreement. Borrowed funds will bear interest at a rate of prime plus 2 percent, and incur an additional administrative fee of 0.7 percent on the average outstanding balance. The Summit Loan has an initial period of 18 months with successive one year renewal options and requires an annual facility fee of $10,000. During the third quarter of fiscal 2017 we informed Summit of our intent to terminate the loan in accordance with its initial loan commitment period ending on March 9, 2017. We have commenced preliminary discussions with our bank to obtain a revolving credit facility with them. As of the present time, there is no additional facility available to us, nor can we provide any assurance that there will be in the future.
As of December 31, 2016, our working capital was $7.5 million. We currently believe that our existing cash and cash equivalent balances as well as our account receivable balances will provide us sufficient funds to satisfy our cash requirements as our business is currently conducted for at least the next 12 months. Certain factors and events could negatively affect our cash flows, including but not limited to, if any of our significant customers are unable to perform due to cancelation of their ordered products and/or their inability to pay for such products in a timely manner.
We are focused on preserving our cash balances by monitoring expenses, identifying cost savings, and investing only in those development programs and products that we believe will most likely contribute to our profitability. As we execute on our current strategy, however, we may require debt and/or equity capital to fund our working capital needs. In particular, we have experienced, and anticipate that we may experience in the future, negative operating cash flow, especially as we procure long-lead time materials to satisfy our current backlog. We may attempt to raise additional funds through public or private debt or equity financings if such financings become available on acceptable terms, or we may seek working capital financing through the extension of additional credit. We cannot be certain that any additional financing we may need will be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to take advantage of opportunities, develop new products or otherwise respond to competitive pressures, and our operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected.
ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
Not applicable.
ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively) conducted an evaluation of the design and operation of our "disclosure controls and procedures" (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act")). The term "disclosure controls and procedures," as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures also include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
27 |
In accordance with SEC rules, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer of the effectiveness, as of December 31, 2016, of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). "Internal control over financial reporting" includes those policies and procedures that:
(1) | pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the issuer; |
(2) | provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the issuer are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the issuer; and |
(3) | provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the issuer's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
Based on that evaluation as of December 31, 2016, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the three months ended December 31, 2016, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any system of controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as ours are designed to do, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
