NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
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 (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-K. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. 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 financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2022.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”, which introduces a forward-looking approach, based on expected losses, to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. The estimate of expected credit losses will require entities to incorporate considerations of historical information, current information, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This ASU also expands the disclosure requirements to enable users of financial statements to understand the entity’s assumptions, models, and methods for estimating expected credit losses. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 (fiscal 2024 for the Company) with early adoption permitted. We do not believe the adoption of this ASU will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
There are no other recently issued accounting pronouncements that we have not yet adopted that we believe will have a material effect on our financial statements.
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.

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 and nine months ended March 31, 2023,

The Company calculates basic net income per share by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding used in the calculation of diluted income per share reflects the effects of potentially dilutive securities, in income generating periods, 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 earnings per share computations for net income. In the tables below, income amounts represent the numerator, and share amounts represent the denominator (in thousands, except per share amounts):

NOTE 7. 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 basis. 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.
We recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax
benefits when applicable. As of March 31, 2023 and 2022, we recognized accrued interest of $
We 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, 2019 and later. Our state income tax returns are open to audit under the statute of limitations for the years ended June 30, 2019 and later. However, because of our prior net operating losses and research credit carryovers, our tax years from June 30, 2007 are open to audit. We do not anticipate a significant change to the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.

PRO-DEX INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) |
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”). The Employee Stock Option Plan and Director’s Stock Option Plan were terminated in June 2014 and December 2014, respectively.
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 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. As of March 31, 2023, performance awards and non-qualified stock options have been granted under the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan.
Former Stock Option Plans
options were granted under the Former Stock Option Plans during the three or nine months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.
As of March 31, 2023, there was no unrecognized compensation cost under the Former Stock Option Plans, as all remaining outstanding stock options have been exercised during fiscal 2023. The following is a summary of stock option activity for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022:

Performance Awards
In December 2017, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors granted performance awards to our employees, 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 the The weighted average fair value of the performance awards granted was $, calculated using the weighted average fair market value for each award, using a Monte Carlo simulation. In February 2020, the Compensation Committee reallocated previously forfeited awards, having the same remaining terms and conditions, to certain other employees. The weighted average fair value of the performance awards reallocated in 2020 was $, 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 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 $, calculated using the weighted average fair market value for each award, using a Monte Carlo simulation. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we recorded share-based compensation expense of $ and $, respectively, related to outstanding performance awards. During the nine months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we recorded share-based compensation expense of $ and $, respectively, related to outstanding performance awards. On March 31, 2023, there was approximately $ of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested performance awards expected to be expensed over the weighted-average period of years.
On July 1, 2022, it was determined by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors that the vesting of performance awards for shares of common stock had been achieved. Each participant elected a net issuance to cover their individual withholding taxes and therefore we issued shares and paid $ of participant-related payroll tax liabilities.

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 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-month and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed 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, including uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic, 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, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our suppliers, customers, and us, 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, 2022.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. 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 nine months ended March 31, 2023 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, 2022.
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. During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, 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 2025.
Simultaneously, we are working to build top-line sales through active proposals of new medical device products with new and existing customers. Our patented adaptive torque-limiting software has been very well received in the CMF and thoracic markets. Additionally, we have other significant engineering projects under way described more fully below under “Results of Operations.”
In November 2020, we purchased an approximate 25,000 square foot industrial building in Tustin, California (the “Franklin Property”). This building is located approximately four miles from our Irvine, California headquarters and was acquired to provide us additional capacity for our expected continued future growth, including anticipated expanded capacity for the manufacture of batteries and new products. We substantially completed the build-out of the property in the first quarter of the prior fiscal year. Currently, we are actively engaged in various verification and validation activities and we expect we will begin operations in the new facility during the fourth quarter of this fiscal year.
In summary, our current objectives are focused primarily on maintaining our relationships with our current medical device customers, expanding our manufacturing capacity with the addition of the Franklin Property, investing in research and development activities to design Pro-Dex branded drivers to leverage our torque-limiting software, and promoting active product development proposals to new and existing customers for orthopedic shavers, screw drivers for a multitude of surgical applications, and other medical devices, while monitoring closely the progress of all these individual endeavors. Our investments in research and development have historically increased disproportionately to our growth in revenue and we anticipate this may continue in future periods. These expenditures are being made in an effort to release new products and garner new customer relationships. This fiscal year, however, the majority of our engineering efforts relate to customer funded non-recurring engineering (“NRE”) projects, which costs are reclassified to cost of sales. 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.

COVID-19 Pandemic
We have adjusted certain policies and procedures based on applicable national, state, and local emergency orders and safety guidance that may be issued from time to time, in order to effectively manage our business during the pandemic and to keep our employees safe. These measures have changed over time and continue to change as our specific circumstances change.
While we have yet to see any significant decline in our customer orders, we have received and accepted some customer requests to delay the shipment of their existing orders. We are focused on the health and safety of all those we serve – our customers, our communities, our employees, and our suppliers. We are supporting our customers according to their priorities and working with them to the degree that we can offer relief in the form of delayed shipments. We are focused on continuity of supply by working with our suppliers, some of whom have delivered our orders late and are quoting longer lead times.
During fiscal 2022, we began to see some challenges in our supply chain in the form of delayed shipments, longer lead times, higher prices, and surcharges, much of which our suppliers indicate have been caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. We have largely been able to mitigate our biggest supply chain concerns by sourcing replacement chips through alternative suppliers, albeit at much higher prices, for many of our printed circuit board assemblies. In so doing, our cost of sales increased during the second half of fiscal 2022 and thus far in fiscal 2023. We continue to implement plans and processes to mitigate these challenges that many manufacturers similarly face. Our long-term prospects remain positive, and we believe these challenges will negatively impact us only in the short-term.

Sales of our medical device products increased $463,000, or 7%, and $432,000, or 2%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year. Our medical device revenue to our largest customer, included in orthopedic sales above, increased $633,000 and $1.0 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year. Additionally, recurring revenue from distributors of CMF drivers increased $793,000 and $124,000, respectively, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year in part due to the launch of a new driver to our existing largest customer during the third quarter of the prior fiscal year. Our thoracic sales revenue decreased $963,000 and $693,000, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year, due primarily as a result of our customer for our thoracic driver filling the near-term requirements of its distribution network.

Sales of our compact pneumatic air motors, reported as industrial and scientific sales above, decreased $61,000, or 19%, and $84,000, or 11%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year. These are legacy products with no substantive marketing efforts. Our NRE and proto-type revenue increased $421,000, or 77%, and $1.5 million, or 175%, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year, due to an increase in billable contracts for various NRE projects undertaken for our customers.
Sales of our dental products and components decreased $160,000, or 79%, and $166,000, or 48%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year. In the prior fiscal year we sold component inventory to our largest customer used in their legacy design which did not recur in the current fiscal year. We expect future declines in this area as we are no longer manufacturing dental products, but rather are simply selling remaining component inventory.
Repair revenue increased $3.2 million or 189%, and $4.3 million, or 102%, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year due to increased repairs of the orthopedic handpiece we sell to our largest customer. This increase was expected as we have been upgrading handpieces to the next generation, which design was released to manufacture in the third quarter of fiscal 2022. Additionally, we completed negotiations on repair pricing and terms with this customer during the three months ended March 31, 2023, and received an additional $520,000 in compensation during the third quarter of this fiscal year, for handpieces upgraded between July 2022 and December 2022 and reached an agreement for future consideration which we expect to recognize in a future fiscal year. We expect to continue to see increases in repair revenue, albeit at reduced margins, for the remainder of this fiscal year because this customer has requested that we perform an enhanced repair on each handpiece, which includes the advance replacement of certain components.
At March 31, 2023, we had a backlog of approximately $18.8 million, of which $8.5 million is scheduled to be delivered in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 and the balance is scheduled to be delivered next fiscal year and beyond. Our backlog represents firm purchase orders received 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.

Cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2023, increased $2.9 million, or 45%, compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. The increase in total costs of sales was caused by the 41% increase in revenue for the same period. Under-absorption of manufacturing costs increased by $201,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year due in part to our inability to absorb our fixed costs, which were not reduced in the third quarter of the current fiscal year in anticipation of future revenue growth. Costs relating to inventory and warranty charges decreased $385,000 for the third quarter ended March 31, 2023 compared to the third quarter of the prior fiscal year, largely due to a reduction in warranty expenses.
Gross profit increased by approximately $953,000, or 33%, for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year, consistent with the overall increase in revenue. Gross margin as a percentage of sales decreased by approximately 2 percentage points compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year due primarily to increased under-absorption of manufacturing costs as a result of additional indirect costs in our manufacturing, assembly, and quality departments, especially related to ongoing verification and validation activities for the Franklin Property.
Cost of sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 increased by $6.3 million, or 32%, compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. Although some of the increase in cost of sales is consistent with the 21% increase in revenue for the same period, the reasons for which are discussed above, the enhanced repair program implemented for our largest customer includes the advance replacement of certain components which has contributed to a $1.4 million increase in cost of sales. Additionally, total cost of sales reflects a $1.1 million increase in under-absorbed manufacturing costs due to actual production hours being less than planned as well as the additional indirect costs in our manufacturing, assembly, and quality operations described above. Inventory and warranty charges decreased by approximately $383,000, or 57%, for the nine months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year, due to reduced component inventory write-downs as a result of sourcing high priced components for our printed circuit board assemblies in the prior fiscal year.
Gross profit decreased by $299,000, or 3%, for the nine months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year, primarily as a result of the increase in cost of sales described above. Gross margin for the nine months ended March 31, 2023, decreased by 7 percentage points compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year.

Selling expenses consist of salaries and other personnel-related expenses for our business development department, 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 and nine months ended March 31, 2023, increased $4,000, or 20%, and $67,000, or 85%, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods of fiscal 2022. The increase is primarily due to increased sales commissions.
General and administrative expenses (“G&A”) consist 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 decreased $136,000 and $419,000, respectively, during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, when compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year. The decreases relate primarily to reduced legal and settlement expenses related to employment matters and reduced non-cash compensation expense related to stock compensation, offset by increased legal fees related to intellectual property matters.
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 March 31, 2023, increased $55,000, or 8%, compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year. Research and development costs for the nine months ended March 31, 2023, decreased $145,000, or 6%, compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year. This relates to increased personnel and related expense offset by decreased spending on internal engineering projects and a shift to increased spending on billable development projects. When our engineers are engaged in a billable project as opposed to an internal project, costs get shifted to cost of sales instead of research and development.
| 22 |
Although the majority of our research and development costs relate to sustaining activities related to products we currently manufacture and sell, we 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 36% and 41% of total operating expenses for all periods presented and are expected to increase in the future as we continue to invest in product development efforts. The amount spent on internal projects under development is summarized below (in thousands):

| (1) | Represents the calendar quarter of expected market launch. |
| (2) | The products in development include risks that they could be abandoned in the future prior to completion, they could fail to become commercialized, or the actual annual revenue realized may be less than the amount estimated. |
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 our machine shop, assembly operations, and inspection areas to improve efficiency and through-put. Additionally, these costs include development projects that may be in their infancy and may or may not result in a full-fledged product development effort.
Interest & Other Income
Interest income for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, includes interest and dividends from our money market accounts and investment portfolio.
Interest Expense
Interest expense consists primarily of interest expense related to the notes payable described more fully in Note 10 to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this report.
Unrealized gain (loss) on marketable equity investments
The unrealized gain (loss) on marketable equity investments relates to our investment portfolio more fully described in Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this report.
Gain on Sale of Investments
During the first quarter ended September 30, 2022, we sold some of the stocks in our portfolio of equity investments receiving proceeds of $88,000 and recording a gain on the sale in the amount of $7,000.
| 23 |
Income Tax Expense
The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, is slightly less than our combined expected federal and applicable state corporate income tax rates due to federal and state research credits. Additionally, the current year effective tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 is 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 2023 as described more fully in Note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this report, as well as unrealized gains on our marketable equity investments.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2023, increased $1.2 million to $2.1 million as compared to $849,000 at June 30, 2022. The following table includes a summary of our condensed statements of cash flows contained elsewhere in this report.

| Working capital | $ | 21,001 | $ | 20,376 | ||||
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $4.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2023, primarily due to net income of $3.3 million, non-cash depreciation and amortization of $594,000, share-based compensation of $584,000, and collections of accounts receivable in the amount of $4.8 million offset by a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $1.0 million, a decrease in deferred revenue of $956,000, and an increase in inventory in the amount of $2.5 million.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $4.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2022, primarily due to net income of $2.4 million, non-cash depreciation and amortization of $546,000, share-based compensation of $932,000 and unrealized losses on marketable securities in the amount of $427,000, as well as an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $673,000, an increase in deferred revenue of $746,000, and a decrease in accounts receivable in the amount of $2.3 million. Offsetting these sources of cash, our inventory increased by $3.4 million primarily due to replenishment of sub-assemblies and long-lead time parts.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2023, was $733,000 and related primarily to the purchases of equipment and improvements primarily for the Franklin Property totaling $822,000. Offsetting this use of cash, we sold some of our marketable securities during the nine months ended March 31, 2023 for $89,000.
Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2022, was $1.6 million and related to purchases of equipment and improvements primarily for the Franklin Property in the amount of $1.3 million and investments in marketable equity securities of publicly traded companies in the amount of $334,000.
| 24 |
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2023, totaled $2.9 million and related primarily to the $1.5 million repurchase of 86,422 shares of our common stock pursuant to our share repurchase program, $4.8 million of payments to Minnesota Bank and Trust (“MBT”) as well as payment of $223,000 of employee payroll taxes related to the award of 37,500 shares of common stock to employees under previously granted performance awards. Offsetting these uses of cash we also borrowed $3.6 million from MBT under our amended revolving loan, and collected $78,000 and $11,000, respectively, related to employee contributions to the ESPP plan and exercises of stock options.
Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2022, totaled $1.8 million and related primarily to the $1.3 million repurchase of 52,718 shares of our common stock pursuant to our share repurchase program as well as $561,000 of principal payments on our loans from MBT more fully described in Note 10 to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this report.
Financing Facilities & Liquidity Requirements for the next twelve months
As of March 31, 2023, our working capital was $21.0 million. We currently believe that our existing cash and cash equivalent balances together with our accounts 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. In addition to our cash and cash equivalent balances, we expect to derive a portion of our liquidity from our cash flows from operations. We may also liquidate some or all of our investment portfolio or borrow further against our $7.0 million Amended Revolving Loan with MBT (see Note 10 to condensed consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this report), under which we had availability of $5.2 million as of March 31, 2023.
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 and requirements for capital equipment to support our manufacturing 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 to raise additional capital to fund our operations beyond the cash available from the strategies mentioned above, we can do so by selling additional shares of our common stock under the ATM Agreement. (See Note 11 to condensed consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this report).
Investment Strategy
We invest surplus cash from time to time through our Investment Committee, which is comprised of one management director, Mr. Van Kirk, and two non-management directors, Mr. Cabillot and Mr. Swenson, who chairs the committee. Both Mr. Cabillot and Mr. Swenson are active investors with extensive portfolio management expertise. We leverage the experience of these committee members to make investment decisions for the investment of our surplus operating capital or borrowed funds. Additionally, many of our securities holdings include stocks of public companies that either Messrs. Swenson or Cabillot 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. The Investment Committee approved each of the investments comprising the $2.7 million of marketable public equity securities held at March 31, 2023.
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.
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 March 31, 2023, 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 March 31, 2023, 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 March 31, 2023, 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.
