Recently Issued and Not Yet Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09,Income Taxes: Improvements to Income Tas Disclosures (Topic 740). ASU 2023-09 expands the existing rules on income tax disclosures. This update requires entities to disclose specific categories in the tax rate reconciliation, provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold and disclose additional information about income taxes paid on an annual basis. The new disclosure requirements are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating these new expanded disclosure requirements, but this standard will not impact our results of operations or financial position.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07,*Segment Reporting: Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic280)*which expands disclosure requirements to require entities to disclose significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to or easily computed from information regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker. This update also requires all annual disclosures currently required by Topic 280 to be disclosed in interim periods. The new disclosure requirements are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. Although our business, as currently operated, has only one segment, we are evaluating the new disclosure requirements to ensure compliance.
NOTE 2. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
We specialize in the design, development and manufacture of autoclavable, battery-powered and electric, multi-function surgical drivers and shavers used primarily in the orthopedic, thoracic, and maxocranial facial markets. We have patented adaptive torque-limiting software and proprietary sealing solutions which appeal to our customers, primarily medical device distributors. We also manufacture and sell rotary air motors to a wide range of industries.
In August 2020, we formed a wholly owned subsidiary, PDEX Franklin, LLC (“PDEX Franklin”), to hold title for an approximate 25,000 square foot industrial building in Tustin, California (the “Franklin Property”) that we acquired on November 6, 2020, in order to allow for the continued growth of our business. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and PDEX Franklin and all significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. This subsidiary has no separate operations.
NOTE 3. NET SALES
The following table presents the disaggregation of net sales by revenue recognition model (in thousands):
| Schedule of disaggregation of net sales | ||
|---|---|---|
| Three months ended September 30, | ||
| 2024 | 2023 | |
| Net Sales: | ||
| Over-time revenue recognition | $47 | $190 |
| Point-in-time revenue recognition | 14,845 | 11,748 |
| Total net sales | $14,892 | $11,938 |
The timing of revenue recognition, billings, and cash collections results in billed accounts receivables, unbilled receivables (presented as deferred costs on our condensed consolidated balance sheets) and customer advances and deposits (presented as deferred revenue on our condensed consolidated balance sheets), where applicable. Amounts are generally billed as work progresses in accordance with agreed upon milestones. The over-time revenue recognition model consists of non-recurring engineering (“NRE”) and prototype services and typically relates to NRE services related to the evaluation, design or customization of a medical device and is typically recognized over time utilizing an input measure of progress based on costs incurred compared to the estimated total costs upon completion. During the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we recorded $14,000 and $0, respectively, of revenue that had been included in deferred revenue in the prior year. The revenue recognized from the contract liabilities consisted of satisfying our performance obligations during the normal course of business.
The following tables summarize our contract assets and liability balances (in thousands):
| Schedule of contract assets and liability | ||
|---|---|---|
| As of and for the Three Months Ended September 30, | ||

NOTE 4. COMPOSITION OF CERTAIN FINANCIAL STATEMENT ITEMS
Investments
Investments are stated at fair market value and consist of the following (in thousands):
| Schedule of investments | ||
|---|---|---|
| September 30, 2024 | June 30, 2024 | |
| Marketable equity securities | ||
| Short-term | $4,738 | $4,217 |
| Long-term | 1,475 | 1,563 |
| Total Investments | $6,213 | $5,780 |
Investments at September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024 had an aggregate cost basis of$4.0 million. Both current and long-term marketable equity securities include equity securities of public companies that are thinly traded. We classified certain investments as long-term in nature because if we decide to sell these securities, we may not be able to sell our position within one year. At September 30, 2024, the investments included unrealized gains of $2.2 million(gross unrealized gains of $2.7 million offset by gross unrealized losses of $518,000). At June 30, 2024, the investments included net unrealized gains of $1.8 million (gross unrealized gains of $2.1 million offset by gross unrealized losses of $261,000).
Of the total marketable equity securities at September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024, $748,000 and $987,000, respectively, represent an investment in the common stock of Air T, Inc. Two of our Board members are also board members of Air T, Inc. and both either individually or through affiliates, own an equity interest in Air T, Inc. Our Chairman, one of the two Board members aforementioned, also serves as the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Air T, Inc. Another of our Board members is employed by Air T, Inc. as its Chief of Staff. The shares were purchased through 10b5-1 Plans, that, in accordance with our internal policies regarding the approval of related-party transactions, were approved by our then three Board members that are not affiliated with Air T, Inc.
We invest surplus cash from time to time through our Investment Committee, which is comprised of one management director, Richard (“Rick”) Van Kirk, and two non-management directors, Raymond (“Ray”) Cabillot and Nicholas (“Nick”) Swenson, who chairs the committee. Both Nick and Ray are active investors with extensive portfolio management expertise. We leverage the experience of these committee members to make investment decisions for our surplus operating capital or borrowed funds. Additionally, many of our securities holdings include stocks of public companies that either Nick or Ray or both may own from time to time either individually or through the investment funds that they manage, or other companies whose boards they sit on, such as Air T, Inc.

| Patent-related costs | $208 | $208 |
| Less accumulated amortization | (161) | (154) |
| $47 | $54 | |
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. Future amortization expense is estimated to be $27,000 for fiscal 2025 and $20,000 for fiscal 2026.
NOTE 5. 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 condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024, the warranty reserve amounted to $300,000 and $277,000, respectively. Warranty expenses are included in cost of sales in the accompanying condensed 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.
Information regarding the accrual for warranty costs for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 are as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 6. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
We calculate basic net income (loss) per share by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted income per share reflects the effects of potentially dilutive securities, which consist entirely of outstanding stock options and performance awards.
The following table presents reconciliations of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted income per share computations. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, 64,800 dilutive securities, consisting exclusively of performance awards, were excluded from the diluted loss per share because the impact would be anti-dilutive. In the tables below, income amounts represent the numerator, and share amounts represent the denominator (in thousands, except per share amounts):
| Schedule of net income per share | ||
|---|---|---|
| Three Months Ended September 30, | ||
| 2024 | 2023 | |
| Basic: | ||
| Net income (loss) | $2,466 | $(615) |
| Weighted-average shares outstanding | 3,260 | 3,547 |
| Basic earnings (loss) per share | $0.76 | $(0.17) |
| Diluted: | ||
| Net income (loss) | $2,466 | $(615) |
| Weighted-average shares outstanding | 3,260 | 3,547 |
| Effect of dilutive securities | 32 | — |
| Weighted-average shares used in calculation of diluted earnings per share | 3,292 | 3,547 |
| Diluted earnings (loss) per share | $0.75 | $(0.17) |
NOTE 7. INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes are provided onaliability method whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts ofassets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred taxassets are reduced byavaluation allowance when, in the opinionof management, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of thedeferred tax assets will not berealized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effectsof changes in tax laws and ratesonthe date of enactment.
Significant management judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes and the recoverabilityofour deferred tax assets. Such determination is based primarily on our historical taxable income or loss, with some consideration giventoour estimatesof future taxable income orloss by jurisdictions in which we operate and the period over which our deferred tax assets would be recoverable. Our deferred tax asset is net of a valuation allowance in the amount of $71,000 as of September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024.
We recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits when applicable. As of September 30, 2024 and 2023, we recognized accrued interest of $6,000 and $7,000, respectively, related to unrecognized tax benefits. Our effective tax rate for both the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, is 26% and is slightly less than our combined expected federal and applicable state corporate income tax rates due primarily to federal and state research credits.
We are subject to U.S. federal income tax, as well as income tax of California and Colorado, as well as Massachusetts through fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. We are currently open to audit under the statute of limitations by the Internal Revenue Service for the years ended June 30, 2021, and later. However, because of our prior net operating losses and research credit carryovers, our tax years from June 30, 2013, are open to audit. We do not anticipate asignificant changetothe total amountof unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.
NOTE 8. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
In September 2016, our Board approved the establishment of the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan, which was approved by our shareholders at our 2016 Annual Meeting. The 2016 Equity Incentive Plan provides for the award of up to 1,500,000 shares of our common stock in the form of incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted stock units, performance awards, and other stock-based awards.
Performance Awards
In December 2017, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors granted 200,000 performance awards to our employees under our 2016 Equity Incentive Plan, which will generally be paid in shares of our common stock. Whether any performance awards vest, and the amount that does vest, is tied to thecompletion of service periods that range from 7 months to 9.5 years at inception and the achievement of our common stock trading at certain pre-determined prices. The weighted-average fair value of the performance awards granted was $4.46, calculated using the weighted-average fair market value for each award, using a Monte Carlo simulation. In February 2020, the Compensation Committee reallocated 48,000 previously forfeited awards, having the same remaining terms and conditions, to certain employees. The weighted-average fair value of the performance awards reallocated in 2020 was $16.90, calculated using the weighted-average fair market value for each award, using a Monte Carlo simulation. In December 2021, the Compensation Committee reallocated an additional 17,500 previously forfeited awards, having the same remaining terms and conditions, to other employees. The weighted average fair value of the performance awards reallocated in 2021 was $20.34, calculated using the weighted average fair market value for each award, using a Monte Carlo simulation. In October 2023, the Compensation Committee reallocated an additional 15,200 previously forfeited awards, having the same remaining terms and conditions, to other employees. The weighted average fair value of the performance awards reallocated in 2023 was $10.04, calculated using the weighted average fair market value for each award, using a Monte Carlo simulation. We recorded share-based compensation expense of $7,000 and $15,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, related to these performance awards. On September 30, 2024, there was approximately $48,000 of unrecognized compensation cost related to these non-vested performance awards, which is expected to be expensed over the weighted-average period of 1.75 years.
On July 1, 2024, it was determined by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors that the vesting of performance awards for 40,000 shares of common stock had been achieved. Each participant elected a net issuance to cover their individual withholding taxes and therefore we issued 25,134 shares and paid $273,000 of participant-related payroll tax liabilities.
Non-Qualified Stock Options
In December 2020, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors granted 310,000 non-qualified stock options to our directors and certain employees under the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan. The vesting of these stock options is tied to the completion of service periods that range from 18 months to 10.5 years from inception and the achievement of our common stock trading at certain pre-determined prices. We recorded compensation expense of $104,000 and $168,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, related to these stock options. The weighted-average fair value of the stock option awards granted was $16.72, calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation. As of September 30, 2024, none of these stock options had vested and there was approximately $1.5 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to these non-vested stock options.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In September 2014, our Board approved the establishment of an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”). 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. Our Board of Directors also approved the provision that shares formerly reserved for issuance under former stock option plans in excess of shares issuable pursuant to outstanding options, aggregating 704,715 shares, be reserved for issuance pursuant to the ESPP. The ESPP was approved by our shareholders at our 2014 Annual Meeting.
In October 2023, our Board approved an amendment to the ESPP (the “ESPP Amendment”), which extended the term of the ESPP for an additional ten years from January 2025 to January 2035. The ESPP Amendment was approved by our shareholders at our 2023 Annual Meeting.
During the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023,940 and 2,021 shares were purchased, respectively, under the ESPP and allocated to employees based upon their contributions at discount prices of $16.22 and $15.82, respectively, per share. As of September 30, 2024, on a cumulative basis, since the inception of the ESPP plan, employees have purchased a total of 36,442 shares. During the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we recorded stock compensation expense in the amount of $3,000 and $6,000, respectively, relating to the ESPP.

Amounts owed to the fiscal 2024 significant suppliers at September 30, 2024 totaled $1.7 million, and $248,000, respectively, and at June 30, 2024 totaled $1.4 million and $416,000, respectively.
NOTE 10. NOTES PAYABLE AND FINANCING TRANSACTIONS
Minnesota Bank & Trust (“MBT”)
As previously disclosed, we have several outstanding term loans as well as a revolving loan (the “Amended Revolving Loan”) with MBT. Additionally, on July 31, 2024 (the “Fourth Amendment Date”), we entered into Amendment No. 4 to our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Fourth Amendment”) with MBT which amends the Company’s Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Fourth Amendment (i) provides for a new term loan, Term Loan C, in the amount of $5.0 million, (ii) uses the proceeds from Term Loan C to repay the entire $3.0 million balance that was outstanding on the Fourth Amendment Date under the Amended Revolving Loan, and (iii) terminates our Supplemental Loan, under which no amounts had been drawn. Loan origination fees in the amount of $10,000 were paid to MBT in conjunction with Term Loan C.
The balance on our outstanding loans (in thousands) is as follows (exclusive of unamortized loan fees):
| Schedule of unamortized loan | ||
|---|---|---|
| September 30, 2024 | June 30, 2024 | |
| Notes Payable: | ||
| Term Loan A | $3,579 | $3,834 |
| Term Loan B | 533 | 571 |
| Term Loan C | 4,916 | — |
| Property Loan | 4,501 | 4,551 |
| Amended Revolving Loan | — | 3,000 |
| Total notes payable | $13,529 | $11,956 |
Term Loan A and B both bear interest at a fixed rate of 3.84% per annum, the Property Loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.55% per annum and both Term Note C and the Amended Revolving Loan bear interest at an annual rate equal to the greater of (a)5%, or (b)SOFR for a one-month period from the website of the CME Group Benchmark Administration Limited plus 2.5% (the “Adjusted Term SOFR Rate”). Term Loan A and B are both fully amortizing and mature on November 1, 2027, Term Loan C is fully amortizing and matures on August 1, 2029, the Property Loan matures on November 1, 2030, at which time a balloon payment of $3.1 million is due, and the Amended Revolving Loan matures on December 29, 2025.
Any payment on Term Loan A, Term Loan B, Term Loan C, the Property Loan, or Amended Revolving Loan (collectively, the “Loans”) not made within seven days after the due date is subject to a late payment fee equal to 5% of the overdue amount. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default, the interest rate of all Loans will be increased by 3% and MBT may, at its option, declare all of the Loans immediately due and payable in full. The Loans are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets pursuant to a Security Agreement entered into on September 6, 2018, between the Company and MBT.
The Amended Credit Agreement, Amended Security Agreement, Term Note A, Term Note B, Term Note C, Property Note, and Amended Revolving Note contain representations and warranties, affirmative, negative and financial covenants, and events of default that are customary for loans of this type. We believe that we are in compliance with all of our debt covenants as of September 30, 2024, but there can be no assurance that we will remain in compliance for the duration of the term of these loans.
NOTE 11. COMMON STOCK
Share Repurchase Program
In December 2019, our Board approved a new share repurchase program authorizing us to repurchase up to 1 million shares of our common stock, as the prior repurchase plan authorized by our Board in 2013 was nearing completion. In accordance with, and as part of, these share repurchase programs, our Board has approved the adoption of several prearranged share repurchase plans intended to qualify for the safe harbor Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“10b5-1 Plan” or “Plan”). During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we repurchased 91,976 shares at an aggregate cost, inclusive of fees under the Plan, of $2.3 million. During the three months ended September 30, 2023 we did not repurchase any shares. On a cumulative basis since 2013, we have repurchased a total of 1,473,325 shares under the share repurchase programs at an aggregate cost, inclusive of fees, of $23.0 million. All repurchases under the 10b5-1 Plans were administered through an independent broker.
