Item 5.            Other Events and Regulation FD Disclosure

On March 28, 2001, Pro-Dex, Inc. ("Pro-Dex") was notified by Dentsply International, Inc. ("Dentsply") that Dentsply does not intend to acquire Pro-Dex on the terms previously announced by the parties to the public. Dentsply has invited Pro-Dex management to submit a revised proposal for Dentsply to acquire the dental-related subsidiaries of Pro-Dex; namely, Biotrol International, Inc., Challenge Products, Inc. and Micro Motors, Inc., and is not willing to acquire Oregon Micro Systems, Inc., the Pro-Dex subsidiary that manufactures motion control products for medical and industrial applications. In response to Dentsply's statement of intent regarding the previously announced transaction, Pro-Dex management is currently developing a proposal that will attempt to accommodate Dentsply's desire for a revised transaction structure. Any such proposal would presumably call for reduced consideration to be paid by Dentsply. Representatives of management of Pro-Dex and Dentsply are scheduled to meet in mid-April to determine if the parties can reach agreement on an alternative transaction. In the meantime, Pro-Dex management is continuing to examine other transactional strategies to maximize stockholder value.
