PRO-DEX, INC. ANNOUNCES FISCAL SECOND QUARTER AND SIX MONTH RESULTS

IRVINE, CA, February 6, 2012 - PRO-DEX, INC. (NasdaqCM: PDEX) today announced financial results for its fiscal second quarter and six months ended December 31, 2011.

Sales for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 decreased 20% to $4.9 million from $6.2 million for the corresponding quarter in 2010. For the six months ended December 31, 2011, sales decreased 9% to $10.9 million from $12.0 million for the corresponding period in 2010. The lower sales in both 2011 periods as compared to the corresponding periods in 2010 resulted primarily from decreases in sales of the Company’s medical device products to its largest customer.

Operating loss was $282,000 for the quarter, compared to operating income of $571,000 in the corresponding 2010 period. For the six months ended December 31, 2011, operating income was $176,000, as compared to $977,000 for the corresponding six-month period in 2010.

Net loss for the 2011 quarter was $292,000, or $0.09 per fully-diluted share, as compared to net income of $401,000, or $0.12 per fully-diluted share, in the corresponding 2010 quarter. For the six months ended December 31, 2011, net income was $154,000, or $0.05 per fully-diluted share, as compared to net income of $743,000, or $0.23 per fully diluted share for the corresponding period in 2010.

Gross profit for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 was $1.4 million, a 29% gross profit margin, compared to gross profit of $2.4 million, a 39% gross profit margin, for the year-ago period. For the six months ended December 31, 2011, gross profit was $3.7 million, a 34% gross profit margin, compared to gross profit and margin of $4.6 million and 38%, respectively, for the corresponding six-month period in 2010. These decreases resulted primarily from the year-over-year decrease in sales, higher warranty expenses due to an increase in the estimated per-unit cost to repair units that may be returned within the warranty period, and, with respect to the three-month period ended December 31, 2011, reduced manufacturing efficiencies commensurate with the lower sales volume.

Mark Murphy, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “During the first half of fiscal 2012, we experienced the decreases in sales to our largest customer we had anticipated, which significantly impacted our gross margins. Midway through our fiscal second quarter, we initiated a headcount reduction, allowing us to enhance manufacturing efficiencies while continuing to meet demand for our products. We will maintain close management our cost structure as we continue to vigorously pursue new revenue opportunities.”
