We hold our cash balances
with a singleseveral financial institutioninstitutions which institution isare subject to risks, which may include failure or other circumstances that limit
our access
to deposits or other banking services. For example, in March 2023, Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) was unable to continue their
their operations and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) was appointed as receiver for SVB. If similar failures in
in financial institutions occur where we hold deposits, we could experience additional risk. Any such loss or limitation on our cash and
cash equivalents would adversely affect our business.
We invest a significantportion portion
of our
excess capital in marketable securities, including equity securities of publicly traded companies. At June 30, 2025,2026, the fair value of
of our investments was approximately $6.9$1.7 million. While we intend to hold our investments until such time as we believe it is appropriate
to sell them in accordance with our overall investment policy, we may have unexpected cash requirements that could necessitate the sale
of some or all of these investments for a loss. Additionally, these investments are subject to changes in their valuation, and are recorded
at their estimated fair value at each measurement date, with unrealized gains and losses presented in other income (expense) in our consolidated
income statements, which can result in material upward or downward non-cash adjustments to our income from quarter-to-quarter.
As part of our strategy, we are actively exploring acquisition opportunities. We have acquired, and may acquire in the future, businesses, products, and technologies that complement or expand our current operations. Acquisitions could require significant capital investments and require us to integrate with companies that have different cultures, management teams, and business infrastructure. Depending on the size and complexity of an acquisition, our successful integration of the acquisition could depend on several factors, including:
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 and patent infringement claims. While we are committed to investigating such concerns and correcting them, there is
no assurance that solutions will be found on a timely basis, if at all, to satisfy customer demands or to avoid potential claims or litigation.
Also, due to the location of our facilities, as well as the nature of our business activities, there is a risk that we could be subject
to litigation related to environmental remediation claims. Additionally, from time to time, including currently, we are involved in various
labor claims or other personnel matters. We maintain insurance to protect against claims associated with the manufacture
and use of our
products as well as environmental pollution,pollution and employment practices, but there can be no assurance that our insurance coverage will adequately
cover any claim asserted against us.

WeOur evaluation of internal controls and remediation
of potential problems is costly and time-consuming and we have previously identified material weaknesses
in our internal control over
financial reporting. Failure to achieve and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting
could materially and adversely
affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and stock price.
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, requires management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. This process is expensive and time consuming and requires significant attention of management. For example, we identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2024, and June 30, 2023.
We identified material weaknesses
in our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2024, and June 30, 2023. The material weaknesses as of June 30,
2024, related to our inventory accounting and the valuation of one of our Level 2 investments. The material weakness as of June 30,
2023, related to the valuation of our Level 3 investments. As a result of these material weaknesses, as of June 30, 2024, and
June 30, 2023, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective based on the framework
in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013), issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
In fiscal 2025 and 2024, we
implemented remediation plans designed to address our June 30, 2024 and 2023, material weaknesses, which were both time consuming
and costly. InWe addition,completed ifthe additionalremediation of the previously identified material weaknessesweaknesses, orand significantas deficienciesdescribed in Item 9A of this report,

Notwithstanding the foregoing, we cannot be certain that additional material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting will not be identified or occur in the future. If additional material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal control are discovered or occur in the future, our consolidated financial statements may contain material misstatements and we could be required to restate our financial results.
If we or our auditors discover
one or more additional material weaknesses in our internal controls in the future, the market’s confidence in our financial statements
could decline and our stock price may be harmed. In addition, our failure to maintain effective controls over financial reporting could
subject us to sanctions or investigations by The Nasdaq Stock Market, the SEC, or other regulatory authorities.

Our acquisition of APM may increase our exposure to complex export control and government contracting requirements, the violation of which could have a material adverse effect on our business.
As a result of our acquisition of APM in February 2026, we have increased exposure to defense and aerospace-related customers, programs, products and/or technical data. APM operates a manufacturing facility located in Costa Mesa, California and manufactures precision machined components and assemblies for the medical, aerospace and defense industries, including parts and assemblies for aerospace and defense systems. In addition, APM serves as a Prime Contractor for the U.S. Government and, as such, maintains registrations under ITAR and a JCP certification.
As a result, we may become subject to additional and more complex regulatory requirements than those historically applicable to our business. These requirements may include U.S. export control and sanctions regimes, including ITAR and EAR, as well as other laws and regulations that apply to the performance of U.S. government contracts. A change in such laws or regulations at any time may have an adverse effect on our operations.
These statutes and regulations can be complex and subject to diverse, often conflicting, interpretations, which may change over time. Compliance may require us to implement and maintain additional policies, procedures, training, and internal controls, and to devote significant management attention and resources to compliance activities. In addition, we may be required to obtain and maintain registrations, certifications, licenses, authorizations or approvals; monitor and restrict access to controlled items, information and technology; and comply with flow-down requirements imposed by customers and government agencies in connection with government-funded or government-related programs.
If we fail to comply with export control, sanctions, or government contracting requirements (including requirements associated with APM’s ITAR registration and JCP certification), we could be subject to civil and criminal penalties, including fines, the loss, suspension or limitation of export privileges, the loss, suspension, limitation, or non-renewal of certifications or registrations, the imposition of enhanced compliance measures, contract termination, the loss of government contract opportunities, or suspension or debarment from doing business with the U.S. government or from participating in government-funded programs. 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, the costs to achieve such a determination and the intervening loss of business could adversely affect or result in the cessation of a portion of our business.
In addition, the APM acquisition was completed in large part to support expansion of our business and to support increased demand resulting from a contract extension with our largest customer, and APM’s Costa Mesa facility provides machined assemblies to service that customer while also providing machining to other customers primarily in the defense and aerospace industries. To the extent this increases our reliance on defense-related or government-funded demand or increases our exposure to a limited number of significant customer relationships, our revenue may become more sensitive to government budgets, appropriations, procurement priorities, and political and policy shifts, as well as to the continuation, renewal, or termination of key customer arrangements. Any reduction, delay, or cancellation of spending or programs affecting such customers, or any contract termination or loss of relevant registrations or certifications, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

to realize a reasonable return, although there is no assurance
that positive returns will be realized. Investments are marked to market
at each measurement date, with unrealized gains and losses presented

Some of our investments include the common stock of public companies
that are thinly traded. Certain of these investments are classified
as long-term in nature, as we may not be able to liquidate the investments
in a timely manner even if we wish to sell them. All of our
investments were subject to a valuation analysis as of June 30, 20252026 and 2024.2025.

Business Combinations
Accounting for a business combination requires us to estimate the fair value of consideration paid and the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which involves a number of judgments, assumptions and estimates that could materially affect the amount and timing of costs recognized in subsequent periods. We estimate the fair value of assets acquired, and liabilities assumed based upon assumptions we believe to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. Estimates associated with the accounting for acquisitions may change as additional information becomes available. Due to the subjectivity of and reliance on forward-looking inputs, these acquisition-related estimates qualify as critical accounting estimates.

to our sustaining activities related to products we currently manufacture and sell. As we introduce new products into
the market, we expect to see an increase in sustaining and other engineering expenses. Typical examples of sustaining engineering activities
include, but are not limited to, end-of-life component replacement, especially in electronic components found in our printed circuit board
assemblies, analysis of customer complaint data to improve process and design, and replacement and enhancement of tooling and fixtures

Additionally, during the third quarter ended March 31, 2026, Monogram successfully completed the first of five milestones such that we earned and recorded an additional gain in the amount of $2.3 million. During fiscal 2025, we sold some of the stocks in our portfolio of equity investments receiving proceeds of $1.9 million and recording a gain on the sale in the amount of $595,000. In addition to these realized gains, during fiscal 2026 and 2025, we also recorded unrealized gains and losses to adjust our investment holdings to estimated fair value as well as eliminating the previously recorded unrealized gains on our Monogram investment during the second quarter of fiscal 2026 in conjunction with recording the realized gain.

The effective tax rate for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was 24% and 26%, respectively. Our effective tax rate is slightly lower in fiscal 2026 compared to 2025 due to our expansion into Florida and Indiana for income tax purposes, which states have a lower state income tax rate than California.
The effective tax rate for
the fiscal years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was 26% and 19%, respectively, slightly less than our combined expected federal and applicable
state corporate income tax rates due primarily to federal and state research credits. Our pre-tax income in fiscal 2025 was $12.0 million
compared to $2.6 million in fiscal 2024. The impact of our tax credits is more significant when pre-tax income is lower.

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

Our business today is almost
entirely driven by sales of our medical devices. Many of our significant customers place purchase orders for specific products that were
developed under various development and/or supply agreements. Our customers may request that we design and manufacture a custom surgical
device or they may hire us as a contract manufacturer to manufacture a product of their own design. In either case, we have extensive
experience with autoclavable, battery-powered, and electric, multi-function surgical drivers and shavers. We continue to focus a significant
percentage of our time and resources on providing outstanding products and service to our valued principal customers. During the second
quarter of fiscal 2026, our largest customer executed an amendment to our existing supply agreement such that we shall continue to supply
their surgical handpieces to them through calendar 2028. WeDuring arethe activelythird pursuingquarter of fiscal 2026, we completed the acquisition of APM,
one of our significant suppliers
suppliers, to help meet the increased demand as a result of this contract extension. Our acquisition of APM provides
us with a second machine shop located in Costa Mesa, California that not only provides machined assemblies to service our largest customer
but also provides machining to other customers primarily in the defense and aerospace industries.
Our current objectives are
focused primarily on maintaining our relationships with our current medical device customers, successfully integrating and operating APM,
investing in research and development activities
to design unique medical devices as well as Pro-Dex branded drivers to leverage our torque-limiting
software, expanding our manufacturing
capacity through the continuation of operations at the Franklin Property, and promoting active product development proposals to new and
existing customers for both orthopedic shavers and screw drivers
for a multitude of surgical applications, while monitoring closely the
progress of all these individual endeavors. While we expect revenue
growth in the future, it may not be a consistent trajectory but rather
periods of incremental growth that current expenditures are helping
to create. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful
in any of these objectives.
Certain
of our medical device products utilize proprietary designs developed by us under exclusive
development and/or supply agreements. All of our medical device
products utilize proprietary manufacturing methods and know-how, and are manufactured or machined either
in our Costa Mesa or Irvine, California facility,

of fiscal 2026
and the balance is scheduled to be delivered the followingnext fiscal year. Our backlog represents firm purchase orders received
and and
acknowledged from our customers and does not include all revenue expected to be generated from existing customer contracts. We
may experience variability in our new order bookings due to various reasons, including, but not limited to, the timing of major new product
launches and customer planned inventory builds. However, we do not typically experience seasonal fluctuations in our shipments and revenues.

The majority of our research and development costs relate to sustaining activities related to products we currently manufacture and sell, but we also have created a product roadmap to develop future products. Many of our product development efforts are undertaken only upon completion of an analysis of the size of the market, our ability to differentiate our product from our competitors’, as well as an analysis of our specific sales prospects with new and/or existing customers. The research and development costs represent between 27% and 44% of total operating expenses for all periods presented.
The majority of our research
and development costs relate to sustaining activities related to products we currently manufacture and sell. As we introduce new products
into the market, we expect to see an increase in sustaining and other engineering expenses. Typical examples of sustaining engineering
activities include, but are not limited to, end-of-life component replacement, especially in electronic components found in our printed
circuit board assemblies, analysis of customer complaint data to improve process and design, replacement and enhancement of tooling and
fixtures used in the machine shop, assembly operations, and inspection areas to improve efficiency and through-put.
Other Income (Expense), net
Interest and& Other Income
Interest income for the three
and sixnine months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2025,2026 and 20242025, includes interest and dividends from our money market accounts and investment portfolio.
Gain (Loss) on Investments
During
the second quarter of fiscal 2026 Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc. acquired Monogram Technologies, Inc. (“Monogram”) and we received
$4.04 in cash for each of the 2,212,378 common shares that we owned of Monogram prior to the close of the acquisition. Accordingly, we
realized a gain in the amount of $6.8 million related to this investment described more fully in Note 4 to the condensed consolidated
financial statements contained elsewhere in this report. During the three months ended December 31, 2025, we also reversed the
previously recorded unrealized gain related to Monogram in the amount of $6.8 million, which fully offset the realized gain. In
addition, we have also recorded unrealized gains and losses on our investment portfolio for the three and six months ended December 31,
2025 and 2024. All of our investments are recorded at estimated fair value as of December 31, 2025, and relate to common stock of publicly
traded companies whose stock price is subject to significant volatility.
Interest expense consists
primarily of interest expense related to ourthe UMBnotes Bank (“UMB”) loanspayable described more fully in Note 1112 to the condensed consolidated
financial statements
contained elsewhere in this report.
Gain on Equity Investments
As described in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this report, during the second quarter of fiscal 2026, Zimmer Biomet acquired Monogram and upon consummation of the acquisition we received proceeds of $8.9 million and realized a gain on our investment of $6.8 million. Additionally, during the third quarter ended March 31, 2026, Monogram successfully completed the first of five milestones such that we earned and recorded an additional gain in the amount of $2.3 million. During the third quarter ended March 31, 2025, we sold some of the stocks in our portfolio of equity investments receiving proceeds of $1.9 million and recording a gain on the sale in the amount of $595,000. In addition to these realized gains, during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we also recorded unrealized gains and losses to adjust our investment holdings to estimated fair value as well as eliminating the previously recorded unrealized gains on our Monogram investment during the second quarter of fiscal 2026 in conjunction with recording the realized gain.
The effective tax rate for each of the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was 26% and 28%, respectively. These tax rates are consistent with our combined expected federal and applicable state corporate income tax rates, and the current year decrease is attributable to the expanded state tax nexus into Florida and Indiana which have lower tax rates than California. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was 25% and 26%, respectively. The prior year rate was slightly less than our combined expected federal and applicable state corporate income tax rates due to a tax benefit recognized as a result of common stock awarded to employees under previously granted performance awards in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 as described more fully in Note 10 to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this report.
The effective tax rate for
the three months ended December 31, 2025, and 2024 was 25% and 21%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the six months ended December
31, 2025, and 2024 is 25% and 24%, respectively. The effective tax rate is slightly higher in fiscal 2026 than the prior year due to a
windfall related to vesting of performance awards in fiscal 2025 that did not recur during the current fiscal year.

periods of increased revenue.

Financing Facilities & Liquidity Requirements for the Next
Twelve Months As of DecemberMarch 31, 2025,2026, our
working capital was $37.0$39.1 million. We currently believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents coupled with our accounts receivable
balances as well as our expected cash flows from operations will provide us with sufficient funds to satisfy our cash requirements as
our business is currently conducted for at least the next 12 months.
We are focused on maximizing
our working capital by monitoring expenses, identifying cost savings, and investing only in those development programs and products that
we believe will most likely contribute to our profitability. As we execute on our current strategy, however, we may require debt and/or
equity capital to fund our working capital needs and requirements for capital equipment to support our manufacturing, assembly, and inspection
processes. In particular, we have experienced negative operating cash flow in the past, especially as we procure long-lead time materials
to satisfy our backlog, which can be subject to extensive variability. We believe that if we need additional capital to fund our operations,
we can borrow against our revolving loan with UMB which has an available balance of $11.0 million as of DecemberMarch 31, 2025.2026.
