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 with 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, 2024. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and consist of a normal recurring nature. 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, 2024.
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):

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 $

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.

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):

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 bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
Significant
management judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes and the recoverability of our
deferred tax assets. Such determination is based primarily on our historical taxable income or loss, with some consideration given to
our estimates of future taxable income or loss
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 $
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 $
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 a significant change to the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.
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.Performance Awards
In December 2017, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors granted
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 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 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. In October 2023, 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 2023 was $ , calculated using the weighted average fair market value for each award, using a Monte Carlo simulation. We recorded share-based compensation expense of $ and $ for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, related to these performance awards. On September 30, 2024, there was approximately $ of unrecognized compensation cost related to these non-vested performance awards, which is expected to be expensed over the weighted-average period of years.On July 1, 2024, 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.Non-Qualified Stock Options
In December 2020, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors granted
non-qualified stock options to our directors and certain employees under the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan. We recorded compensation expense of $ and $ 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 $ , calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation. As of September 30, 2024, none of these stock options had vested and there was approximately $ 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
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.

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
shares at an aggregate cost, inclusive of fees under the Plan, of $ 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 shares under the share repurchase programs at an aggregate cost, inclusive of fees, of $ million.

ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes and other financial information appearing elsewhere in this report.
COMPANY OVERVIEW
The following discussion and analysis provide information that management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the results of operations and financial condition of Pro-Dex, Inc.

Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated results of operations presented in this report are not audited and those results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entirety of our fiscal year ending June 30, 2025, or any other interim period during such fiscal year. Our fiscal year ends on June 30 and our fiscal quarters end on September 30, December 31, and March 31. Unless otherwise stated, all dates refer to our fiscal year and those fiscal quarters.
Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of our financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
An accounting policy is deemed to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, and if different estimates that reasonably could have been used or changes in the accounting estimate that are reasonably likely to occur could materially change the financial statements. Management believes that there have been no significant changes during the three months ended September 30, 2024, to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies and estimates in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended June 30, 2024.
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 by us 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.
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 began operations in the new facility during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 and believe that the additional capacity will allow for our continued expected growth.
In summary, our current objectives are focused primarily on maintaining our relationships with our current medical device customers, 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 commencement 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.

Our medical device revenue increased $2.1 million, or 27%, for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. Our orthopedic sales increased $1.9 million, or 38%, for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year, due in part, to our largest customer requesting shipment of their next generation handpiece, or end-effector, to satisfy quantities requested for a limited market release. We expect production shipments of this newest generation to ramp up in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2025. Recurring revenue from distributors of CMF drivers increased $567,000, or 35%, for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. While we do not have much visibility into our customers’ distribution networks, this level of change (whether an increase or decrease) is not uncommon and fluctuations occur based upon required inventory levels. Our thoracic sales decreased by $320,000, or 24% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year.
Sales of our compact pneumatic air motors increased $2,000, or 1%, for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. The relatively flat sales volume is consistent with our lack of substantive marketing efforts. Sales of our dental products and components increased $3,000, or 8%, for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year, which negligible increase is expected given our prior disclosures that we are no longer pursuing this line of business. Our non-recurring engineering (“NRE”) and proto-type revenue decreased $142,000, for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year, due to a decline in billable contracts. Our NRE and proto-type revenue is typically a small percentage of our total revenue and can vary significantly from quarter to quarter.
Repair revenue increased by $1.1 million, or 28%, for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year, due to an increased number of repairs of the orthopedic handpiece we sell to our largest customer. This increase relates to the continuation of the previously disclosed enhanced repair program.
Discounts and other increased by $126,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year, due to volume rebates related to the orthopedic handpiece we sell to our largest customer, which they negotiated in conjunction with our contract extension through 2025.
At September 30, 2024, we had a backlog of approximately $56.8 million, of which $45.6 million is scheduled for delivery during the remainder of fiscal 2025. 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 September 30, 2024, increased by $1.5 million, or 18%, compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. The increase in cost of sales is consistent with the 25% increase in revenue for the same period. Product costs increased by $804,000, or 9%, during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year, which is consistent with higher revenue generated in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. During the three months ended September 30, 2024 we experienced under-absorption of $325,000 in manufacturing costs compared to $285,000 over-absorption during the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. We anticipate growth in our direct labor costs this fiscal year such that our absorption will stabilize without the need to increase our labor and overhead rates. Costs related to inventory and warranty charges increased $48,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year, due primarily to an increase in warranty reserves.
Gross profit increased by approximately $1.5 million, or 41%, for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year, and gross margin as a percentage of sales increased by four percentage points between such periods, primarily as a result of a more favorable product mix of sales during the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year.

$ | 2,137 | 14 | % | $ | 1,825 | 15 | % | 17 | % |
Selling expenses consist of salaries and other personnel-related expenses in support of business development, as well as trade show attendance, advertising and marketing expenses, and travel and related costs incurred in generating and maintaining our customer relationships. Selling expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024 increased $23,000, or 92%, compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. The increase relates to recruiting fees related to an ongoing search for a director of business development.
General and administrative expenses (“G&A”) consist of salaries and other personnel-related expenses of our accounting, finance, and human resources personnel, professional fees, directors’ fees, and other costs and expenses attributable to being a public company. G&A expenses increased by $251,000, or 25%, for the three months ended September 30, 2024, when compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. The increase in total G&A expenses relates to higher payroll and personnel expenses including higher bonus accruals.
Research and development costs generally consist of compensation and other personnel-related costs of our engineering and support personnel, related 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 increased $38,000, or 5%, for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. The increase is due primarily to an increase in internal project spending and a reduction in billable project offsets, partially offset by a reduction in personnel-related expenses.
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 Dividend Income
The interest and dividend income recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, consists primarily of interest and dividends from our investments and money market accounts.
Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Investments
The unrealized gain or (loss) on marketable securities for the quarters ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, relates to our portfolio of investments described more fully in Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this report.
Interest Expense
The interest expense recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, relates to our Minnesota Bank and Trust (“MBT”) loans described more fully in Note 10 to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this report.
Income Tax Expense
The 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.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2024 increased $450,000 to $3.1 million as compared to $2.6 million at June 30, 2024. The following table includes a summary of our condensed statements of cash flows contained elsewhere in this report.

Working capital | $ | 27,217 | $ | 23,143 |
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended September 30, 2024 totaled $1.9 million. Our net income was $2.5 million, which includes $433,000 of unrealized gains on our marketable securities as well as non-cash depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation in the amount of $302,000 and $113,000, respectively. Additionally, our inventory and income taxes payable increased by $1.3 million and $209,000, respectively. Offsetting these outflows of cash, our accounts receivable decreased by $428,000 and accounts payable and accrued expenses increased by $579,000.
Net cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended September 30, 2023 totaled $392,000. This is primarily because our net loss of $615,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 included non-cash unrealized loss on investments, share-based compensation and depreciation and amortization of $2.6 million, $188,000 and $283,000, respectively. Uses of cash arose primarily from an increase in accounts receivable of $1.1 million related to increased sales and our increase in income tax assets of $873,000.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $431,000 and related to the purchase of equipment and improvements.
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $126,000 and related to the purchase of equipment and improvements.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2024 included the repurchase of $2.3 million of common stock pursuant to our share repurchase program, and proceeds of $5.0 million from a new term loan from MBT, offset by principal payments totaling $3.4 million. Additionally, we paid $273,000 of employee payroll taxes related to the award of 40,000 shares of common stock to employees under previously granted performance awards.
Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2023 included principal payments of $1.3 million on our loans from MBT, which included a $1.0 million payment against our revolving loan.
Financing Facilities & Liquidity Requirements for the Next Twelve Months
As of September 30, 2024, our working capital was $27.2 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 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 additional capital to fund our operations, we can borrow against our MBT revolver.
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 (our principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer and principal accounting officer) have concluded based on their evaluation as of September 30, 2024, that 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”)) are not effective due to a material weakness. 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 officer and principal financial officer and principal accounting officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a company’s annual and interim financial statements will not be detected or prevented on a timely basis. A material weakness was discovered relating to controls related to the existence of inventory during fiscal 2024 and as of September 30, 2024, we are continuing to remediate this weakness. While we believe that our inventory exists and is accurately recorded and properly valued at September 30, 2024, we are continuing to expand our internal controls over the existence of inventory and have hired a warehouse manager in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 to ensure that we successfully implement effective standard operating procedures, provide adequate training to stockroom personnel, and continue our cycle count procedures.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, 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.
