Recently Adopted Accounting Standards2022.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2019,June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2019-12 Income TaxesNo. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 740) – Simplifying326): 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 Accountingdisclosure requirements to enable users of financial statements to understand the entity’s assumptions, models, and methods for Income Taxes, to remove certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences and requiring that an entity reflect the effect of an enacted change in tax laws or rates in the annual effective tax rate computation in the interim period that includes the enactment date. The amendments in this update areestimating expected credit losses. This guidance is effective for usfiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 (fiscal 2024 for the Company) with fiscal year 2022. Theearly adoption of the amendments has not had a materialpermitted. We are currently reviewing this ASU and its potential 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.

NOTE 3. REVISION OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR CORRECTION OF IMMATERIAL ERRORS

We failed to timely adopt ASU 2016-01 – Accounting for Financial Instruments – Classification and Measurement, which states in part that changes in fair value of equity investments must be recognized in net income. We have completed an evaluation of the quantitative and qualitative impact of this error in our historical financial statements and concluded that our historical financial statements are not materially misstated. We concluded that our historical financial statements are not materially misstated for several reasons, including the fact that the cumulative three-year error had a negative impact to historical net income in the amount of $61,000, an amount we deem immaterial, as well as the fact that the amounts did not contain a calculation error but rather amounts were presented on an incorrect line item within the financial statements. We also considered the fact that this error did not impact cash or operating income for any historical period, which we believe is important to our investors. Accordingly, the prior year financial statements have been revised to reflect the impact of ASU 2016-1. The revised classification and reported values of our unrealized gains (losses) on marketable equity investments as accounted for under ASU 2016-01 are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements herein. The impact to net income for the three months ended March 31, 2021, was an increase of $136,000 with a corresponding decrease in unrealized gain on marketable equity securities of $136,000, previously presented in other comprehensive income (loss). The revision resulted in an increase to both basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2021, of $0.04. The impact to net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2021, was an increase of $1.4 million with a corresponding decrease in unrealized gain on marketable equity securities of $1.4 million, previously presented in other comprehensive income (loss). The revision resulted in an increase to basic earnings per share of $0.37 and diluted earnings per share of $0.36 for the nine months ended March 31, 2021. As of June 30, 2021, the revision reclassified the remaining accumulated other comprehensive loss of $215,000 to retained earnings.

NOTE 4.3. NET SALES

The following table presents the disaggregation of net sales by revenue recognition model (in thousands):

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 and six months ended December 31, 2022, we recorded $312,000 and $862,000, respectively, of revenue that had been included in deferred revenue in the prior year. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2021, we recorded $98,000 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. Our entire deferred revenue balance of $896,000851,000 at MarchDecember 31, 2022, is currently expected to be recognized in the next 12-month period.12 months.

The following tables summarize our contract assets and liability balances (in thousands):

The long-term investments include equity investments of thinly traded securities that we classified 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 MarchDecember 31, 2022, the investments included net unrealized lossesgains of $632,000146,000 (gross unrealized lossesgains of $646,000243,000 offset by gross unrealized gainslosses of $14,00097,000).

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, such as Air T, Inc.

Land and building

Land and building consist of the following (in thousands):

On November 6, 2020, we acquired the Franklin Property for a total purchase price of $6.5 million, of which we paid $1.3 million in cash and the balance of $5.2 million we financed through Minnesota Bank & Trust (“MBT”) (See Note 11)10). We substantially completed the build-out of the property in the first quarter of thisthe fiscal year.2022. Currently, we are actively engaged in various verification and validation activities and we moved certain of our employees into the new building during the third quarter of fiscal 2022. We expect that we will begin operations in the new facility during the third quarter of this fiscal year. The building is being amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of 30 years.

Intangibles

Intangibles consist of the following (in thousands):

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. Since we do not know when, or if, our patent applications will be issued, the futureFuture amortization expense is not predictable.expected to be $21,000 for the remainder of fiscal 2023 and $42,000 per fiscal year through October 2025, at which time we expect these costs to be fully amortized. During the three months ended December 31, 2021, we impaired $46,000 in previously capitalized legal fees because although we were granted the underlying patent, in this case, we had (and continue to have) no products either in development or sold that utilize the intellectual property protected by the patent.

NOTE 6.5. 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 MarchDecember 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021,2022, the warranty reserve amounted to $328,000344,000 and $221,000340,000, respectively.

NOTE 7.6. NET INCOME PER SHARE

The Company calculatesWe calculate 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, net income amounts represent the numerator, and shareweighted average shares outstanding amounts represent the denominator (in thousands, except per share amounts):

NOTE 8.7. 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 MarchDecember 31, 2022 and 2021, we recognized accrued interest of $70,00054,000 and $61,000, respectively, related to unrecognized tax benefits.NaN interest or penalties were recognized as of June 30, 2021, since we had sufficient tax attributes available to fully offset any potential assessment of additional tax.

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, 2018,2019 and later. Our state income tax returns are open to audit under the statute of limitations for the years ended June 30, 2017,2019 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.

NOTE 9.8. 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”). The Employee Stock Option Plan and Director’sDirectors’ 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 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. As of MarchDecember 31, 2022, 200,000 performance awards and 372,000 non-qualified stock options have been granted under the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan.

Former Stock Option Plans

No options were granted under the Former Stock Option Plans during the three or ninesix months ended MarchDecember 31, 2022 and 2021.

The last remaining stock options outstanding under the Former Stock Option Plans were exercised during the six months ended December 31, 2022. As such, as of MarchDecember 31, 2022, there was no unrecognized compensation cost under the Former Stock Option Plans as as all outstanding stockthere are no options are fully vested. As of March 31, 2022, the options outstanding under the Former Stock Option Plans had a weighted average remaining contractual life of 0.54 years and an intrinsic value of $96,000.outstanding.

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 the completion 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 averageweighted-average fair value of the performance awards granted was $4.46,$4.46, calculated using the weighted averageweighted-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 other employees. The weighted averageweighted-average fair value of the performance awards reallocated in 2020 was $16.90, calculated using the weighted averageweighted-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. During the three months ended MarchDecember 31, 2022, and 2021, we recorded share-based compensation expense of $81,00030,000 and $21,000, respectively, related to outstanding performance awards. During the ninesix months ended MarchDecember 31, 2022 and 2021, we recorded share-based compensation expense of $123,00060,000 and $63,00042,000, respectively, related to outstanding performance awards. On MarchDecember 31, 2022, there was approximately $393,000262,000 of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested performance awards, which is expected to be expensed over the weighted-average period of 2.222.50 years.

Each participant elected a net issuance to cover their individual withholding taxes and therefore we issued 25,62923,641 shares and paid $259,000223,000 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. Whether anyThe vesting of these stock options vest, and the amount that does vest, is tied to the completion of service periods that range from 18 months to 10.5 years from the date of grant and the achievement of our common stock trading at certain pre-determined prices. The weighted average fair value of the stock option awards granted was $16.72, calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation. In December 2021, the Compensation Committee reallocated 5,000 previously forfeited non-qualified stock options, having the same remaining terms and conditions, to another employee at a weighted average fair value of $6.69 calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation.employee. During the three months ended MarchDecember 31, 2022 and 2021, we recorded compensation expense of $271,000140,000 and $358,000254,000, respectively, related to these options. During the ninesix months ended MarchDecember 31, 2022 and 2021, we recorded compensation expense of $799,000312,000 and $376,000527,000, respectively, related to these options. The weighted average fair value of the stock option awards granted was $16.72, calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation. As of MarchDecember 31, 2022, none of these non-qualifiedstock options havehad vested and there was approximately $3.4$2.7 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to these non-vested non-qualified stock options.

In February 2021, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors granted 62,000 non-qualified stock options to our directors and certain employees under the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan. Whether anyThe vesting of these stock options vest, and the amount that does vest, is tied to the completion of service periods that range from 4 months to 1.3 years at inception and the achievement of our common stock trading at certain pre-determined prices. Of these 62,000 stock options, 4,250 were forfeited and the remaining 57,750 vested on July 1, 2021, as our common stock met the pre-determined prices set forth in the underlying agreements. We recorded compensation expense of $59,000 foragreements and the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, related to these options.required service periods were already satisfied. The weightedweighted-average fair value of the stock option awards granted was $3.16,$3.16, calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation.

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 our 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 shareper-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 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. The ESPP was approved by our shareholders at our 2014 Annual Meeting.

During the three months ended MarchDecember 31, 2022 and 2021, we recorded ESPPdid not record any share-based compensation expense inrelating to the amount of $ESPP, due to the fact that no six-month offering period ended during either quarter. During the six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, 5,0002,503 and $6,0001,130, respectively, and 1,446 and 1,192 shares of our common stock were purchased under the ESPP, respectively, and allocated to employees based upon their contributions at prices of $21.1113.52 and $27.1226.17, respectively, per share. During the nine months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we recorded ESPP share-based compensation expense in the amount of $11,000 and $10,000, respectively. On a cumulative basis, since the inception of the ESPP, employees have purchased a total of 27,03929,542 shares of our common stock. During the six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, we recorded share-based compensation expense in the amount of $6,000 and $5,000, respectively, relating to the ESPP.
