The following information should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated
Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes included below in Item 8 of this
Annual Report on Form 10-K. This discussion contains forward-looking statements
that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially
from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.



Business Overview



Astrotech Corporation (Nasdaq: ASTC) ("Astrotech," the "Company," "we," "us," or
"our"), a Delaware corporation organized in 1984, is a mass spectrometry company
that launches, manages, and commercializes scalable companies based on its
innovative core technology through its wholly-owned subsidiaries:



? Astrotech Technologies, Inc. ("ATI") owns and licenses the intellectual

property related to the Astrotech Mass Spectrometer Technology™ (the "AMS


    Technology").



? 1st Detect Corporation ("1st Detect") is a manufacturer of explosives trace

detectors capable of also detecting narcotics. It was developed for use at


    airports, cargo and other secured facilities, and borders worldwide.
    1st Detect holds an exclusive AMS Technology license from ATI for air
    passenger and cargo security applications.



? AgLAB, Inc. ("AgLAB") is developing a series of mass spectrometers for use in

the hemp and cannabis market with initial focus on optimizing yields in the

extraction and distillation processes. AgLAB holds an exclusive AMS Technology


    license from ATI for agriculture applications.



? BreathTech Corporation ("BreathTech") is developing a breath analysis tool to

screen for volatile organic compound ("VOC") metabolites found in a person's

breath that could indicate they may have a bacterial or viral infection.

BreathTech holds an exclusive AMS Technology license from ATI for breath


    analysis applications.



Astrotech Technologies, Inc.



ATI owns and licenses the AMS Technology, the platform mass spectrometry
technology originally developed by 1st Detect. Long recognized as the gold
standard in chemical detection, mass spectrometry has historically been
considered to be too costly, bulky, and cumbersome. In contrast, the
AMS Technology has been designed to be comparatively inexpensive, small, and
easy to use. Unlike other technologies, the AMS Technology works under
ultra-high vacuum, which eliminates competing molecules, yielding higher
resolution and fewer false alarms. The intellectual property includes 23 granted
patents and one additional patent in process along with extensive trade secrets.
With a number of diverse market opportunities for the core technology, ATI is
structured to license the intellectual property for different fields of use. ATI
currently licenses the AMS Technology to three wholly-owned subsidiaries of
Astrotech on an exclusive basis, including to 1st Detect for use in the security
and detection market, to AgLAB for use in the agriculture market, and to
BreathTech for use in breath analysis applications.

ATI has contracted with Sanmina Corporation ("Sanmina"), a leading contract manufacturer with a worldwide presence, to manufacture our mass spectrometer products. Leveraging their expertise, Sanmina has helped to improve the manufacturability and reliability of our systems.

1st Detect Corporation



1st Detect, a licensee of ATI for the security and detection market, has
developed the TRACER 1000™, the world's first mass spectrometer ("MS") based
explosives trace detector ("ETD") certified by the European Civil Aviation
Conference ("ECAC"), designed to replace the ETDs used at airports, cargo and
other secured facilities, and borders worldwide. We believe that ETD customers
are unsatisfied with the currently deployed ETD technology, which is driven by
ion mobility spectrometry ("IMS"). We further believe that IMS-based ETDs are
fraught with false positives, as they often misidentify personal care products
and other common household chemicals as explosives, causing facility shutdowns,
unnecessary delays, frustration, and significant wasted security resources. In
addition, there are hundreds of different types of explosives, but IMS-based
ETDs have a very limited threat detection library reserved only for those
few explosives of largest concern. Adding additional compounds to the detection
library of an IMS-based ETD fundamentally reduces the instrument's performance,
further increasing the likelihood of false alarms. In contrast, adding
additional compounds to the TRACER 1000's detection library does not degrade its
detection capabilities, as it has a virtually unlimited and easily expandable
threat library.



In order to sell the TRACER 1000 to airport and cargo security customers in the
European Union and certain other countries, we obtained ECAC certification. We
are currently selling the TRACER 1000 to customers who accept ECAC
certification. We have deployed the TRACER 1000 in approximately 20 locations in
11 countries throughout Europe and Asia.



On August 25, 2021, 1st Detect announced that it secured an important landmark
purchase order from a distributor for the TRACER 1000, representing the first
units to be deployed at an airport security checkpoint for passenger screening.
These systems were sold to the customer during the second quarter of fiscal year
2022.



In the United States, we are working with the U.S. Transportation Security
Administration ("TSA") towards air cargo certification. On March 27, 2018, we
announced that the TRACER 1000 was accepted into TSA's Air Cargo Screening
Technology Qualification Test ("ACSQT") and, on April 4, 2018, we announced that
the TRACER 1000 was beginning testing with TSA for passenger screening at
airports. On November 14, 2019, we announced that the TRACER 1000 had been
selected by the TSA's Innovation Task Force to conduct live checkpoint screening
at Miami International Airport. With similar protocols as ECAC testing, we have
received valuable feedback from all programs. Following ECAC certification and
our early traction within the cargo market, testing for cargo security continued
with the TSA. With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, all testing within the
TSA was put on hold; however, we resumed cargo testing during the summer of
2020, and we subsequently announced on September 9, 2020, that the TRACER 1000
passed the non-detection testing portion of the TSA's ACSQT. Due to delays
caused by COVID-19, TSA cargo detection testing is ongoing, but has
proceeded much more slowly than originally anticipated. As a result, efforts are
primarily focused on our other opportunities. TSA cargo detection testing is the
final step to be listed on the Air Cargo Screening Technology List ("ACSTL") as
an "approved" device. If approved, the TRACER 1000 will be approved for cargo
sales in the United States.



AgLAB Inc.



AgLAB, an exclusive licensee of ATI for the agriculture market, has developed
the AgLAB-1000™ series of mass spectrometers for use in the hemp and cannabis
market with initial focus on optimizing yields in the extraction and
distillation processes. The AgLAB product line is a derivative of our core AMS
Technology. The AMS Technology provides a significant competitive advantage due
to its small size, rugged design, quick analysis, and ease of
use. AgLAB recently completed several successful field trials to
demonstrate that the AgLAB-1000-D2™ can be used in the distillation process to
significantly boost the potency and weight yields of THC and CBD oil
manufacturing. We plan to launch a family of "process control" instruments,
methods, and solutions that we believe could be valuable additions to many
nutraceutical extraction and distillation laboratories.



BreathTech Corporation



BreathTech, an exclusive licensee of ATI for use in breath analysis, is
developing the BreathTest-1000™, a breath analysis tool to screen for VOC
metabolites found in a person's breath that could indicate they may have a
bacterial or viral infection. While vaccines have been deployed to mitigate the
most serious effects of COVID-19, many people remain unvaccinated and new
variants continue to pose a significant and evolving threat. New tools to aid in
the battle against COVID-19 and other diseases remain of the utmost importance
to help more quickly identify that an infection may be present, and BreathTech,
in conjunction with Cleveland Clinic, is developing a quick and easy to use
device to help determine the presence of infections.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Table of Contents





In June 2022, we expanded our existing study that initially focused on COVID-19
with Cleveland Clinic to use the BreathTest-1000 to screen for a variety of
diseases spanning the entire body. The project will focus on detecting
bloodstream infections, respiratory infections such as influenza types A and B
and respiratory syncytial virus ("RSV"), carriage of Staphylococcus aureus, and
Clostridioides difficile ("C. diff") infections.



Development of the BreathTest-1000 follows our results in pre-clinical trials
for the BreathDetect-1000™, a rapid self-serve breathalyzer that was designed to
detect bacterial infections in the respiratory tract, including pneumonia. The
pre-clinical trials were conducted in collaboration with UT Health San Antonio
in 2017.



COVID-19



We are subject to risks and uncertainties as a result of the COVID-19
pandemic. To date, we have seen delays with respect to the TSA certification
process and parts of our supply chain, particularly the impact of the global
semiconductor and electronics shortage, which has now resulted in product
pricing inflation. In addition, although passenger demand for air travel has
rebounded, the overall recovery of the airline industry and ancillary services
remains highly uncertain and is dependent upon, among other things, the number
of cases declining around the globe, public health impacts of new COVID-19
variants, the continued administration of vaccines to unvaccinated populations,
and the duration of immunity granted by vaccines.



We continue to manage production, to secure alternative supplies where
available, and to take other proactive actions. We believe that we will be able
to pass the inflation caused by raw materials shortages and increased shipping
costs to our customers by increasing the price of our instruments. If supply
chain shortages become more severe or longer term in nature, our business and
results of operations could be adversely impacted; however, we do not expect
this issue to materially adversely affect our liquidity position. The long-term
impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business may not be fully reflected until
future periods.



We continue to evaluate the current and potential impact of the pandemic on our
business, results of operations, and consolidated financial statements. We also
continue to actively monitor developments and business conditions, including
those that may be related to additional COVID-19 variants and other
diseases, that may cause us to take further actions that alter business
operations as may be required by applicable authorities or that we determine are
in the best interests of our employees, customers, suppliers, and stockholders.



Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act")





On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was enacted. The CARES Act, among other things,
includes provisions relating to refundable payroll taxes, deferment of employer
side social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative
minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction
limitations, and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified
improvement property. The most significant relief measures which we qualified
for are a loan pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program for which we
have received full forgiveness, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, employee
retention credit, and payroll tax deferral. The payroll tax deferral was
effective from the enactment date through December 31, 2020, and the deferred
amount will be repaid in two installments. 50% of the deferred amount has been
paid as of December 31, 2021, and the remainder will be due by December 31,
2022. The deferred payroll taxes are recorded within accrued liabilities on the
condensed consolidated balance sheets.



We will continue to assess the treatment of the CARES Act to the extent additional guidance and regulations are issued, the further applicability of the CARES Act to us, and the potential impacts on our business.

Critical Accounting Estimates





The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations
are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared
in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("U.S.
GAAP"). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make
estimates and judgments that directly affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenues, expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities in the Company's consolidated financial statements and accompanying
notes. A critical accounting estimate is one that involves a significant level
of estimation uncertainty and have had or are reasonably likely to have a
material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. We base our
estimates on historical experience and on 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. Management continuously
evaluates its critical accounting policies and estimates, including those used
in evaluating the recoverability of long-lived assets, recognition of revenue,
valuation of inventory, and the recognition and measurement of loss
contingencies, if any. Actual results may differ from these estimates under
different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following accounting
policies require us to make significant judgments and estimates in the
preparation of our consolidated financial statements:



                                       39

Revenue Recognition



We adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 606
"Revenue from Contracts with Customers" ("Topic 606") in fiscal year 2019.
Under Topic 606, we recognize revenue when our customers obtain control of the
goods, warranty services are delivered, or performance obligations are met.



Revenue for our product sales is recognized when control of the promised goods
or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the
consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or
services. Revenue related to extended product warranty arrangements is deferred
and recognized over time, as services are delivered. To determine the
appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized for arrangements determined to be
within the scope of Topic 606, we perform the following five steps: (i)
identification of the promised goods or services in the contract; (ii)
determination of whether the promised goods or services are performance
obligations including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract;
(iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the assessment of the
constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the transaction price
to the performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenue when, or as we
satisfy each performance obligation. As part of the accounting for arrangements
under Topic 606, we must use significant judgment to determine: (a) the
performance obligations based on the determination under step (ii) above; (b)
the transaction price under step (iii) above; and (c) the standalone selling
price for each performance obligation identified in the contract for the
allocation of transaction price in step (iv) above. We also use judgment to
determine whether milestones or other variable consideration should be included
in the transaction price as described below. The transaction price is allocated
to each performance obligation based on the relative stand-alone selling price
of each performance obligation in the contract, and we recognize revenue based
on those amounts when, or as, the performance obligations under the contract are
satisfied.



The standalone selling price is the price at which an entity would sell a
promised good or service separately to a customer. Management estimates the
standalone selling price of each of the identified performance obligations in
our customer contracts, maximizing the use of observable inputs. Because we have
not sold the same goods or services in our contracts separately to any customers
on a standalone basis and there are no similar observable transactions in the
marketplace, we estimate the standalone selling price of each performance
obligation in our customer arrangements based on observable independent pricing
of our products when available or, if unavailable, our estimate of costs to be
incurred to fulfil our obligations associated with the performance, plus a
reasonable margin.



We determined that our only contract liability under Topic 606 is deferred
revenue. Amounts received prior to revenue recognition are recorded as deferred
revenue in the consolidated balance sheets. Amounts are recorded as accounts
receivable when our right to consideration is unconditional.



We recognize revenue on product sales to customers when the transfer of control
happens. We recognize revenue on training when the service has been rendered. We
include a standard one-year warranty with our product sales. These standard
warranties are accounted for at the time product revenues are recognized. We
also offer warranty extensions for an additional fee. Revenue related to
warranty extensions is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term.
Product revenues are recorded net of variable consideration, including
discounts.



Impairment of Long-lived Assets





We review the carrying amount of our long-lived assets, including property and
equipment, for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or an asset group may not be fully
recoverable. If indicators of impairment exist, an impairment loss would be
recognized when the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result
from the use of the asset or asset group and its eventual disposition are less
than its carrying amount. The impairment charge is determined based upon the
excess of the carrying value of the asset over its estimated fair value, with
estimated fair value determined based upon an estimate of discounted future cash
flows or other appropriate measures of estimated fair value. For purposes of
recognition of impairment for long-lived assets, we group assets and liabilities
at the lowest level for which cash flows are separately identifiable.



Valuation of Inventory



Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is
computed using standard cost, which approximates actual cost on a first-in,
first-out basis. We reserve or write down inventory for estimated obsolescence,
inventory in excess of reasonably expected sales, or unmarketable inventory, in
an amount equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the
estimated market value, based upon assumption about future demand and market
conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected,
additional inventory adjustments may be required. Inventory impairment charges
establish a new cost basis for inventory and charges are not reversed
subsequently to income, even if circumstances later suggest that increased
carrying amounts are recoverable.

Warranty Provision



The standard warranty periods we provide for our products can range from one to
seven years. We establish reserves for estimated product warranty costs at the
time revenue is recognized based upon our historical warranty experience, and
for any known or anticipated product warranty issues. Our warranty obligations
are impacted by a number of factors, including historical warranty costs, actual
product failure rates, service delivery costs, and the use of materials. If our
actual results are different from our assumptions, increases or decreases
to warranty reserves could be required, which could impact our cost of revenue
and gross margins.


Results of Operations for the Years Ended June 30, 2022 and 2021





Selected financial data for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 of our
operations are as follows:

Revenue - Total revenue increased significantly by $535 thousand, or 160.2%, to
$869 thousand for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, compared to $334
thousand for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. All of the fiscal year
2022 revenue was comprised of sales related to our TRACER 1000 units to
distributors to the airport security market and DHL (Deutsche Post AG). In
fiscal year 2021, all of our revenue was related to sales of the TRACER 1000
to DHL (Deutsche Post AG) and distributors.



Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit - Cost of revenue is comprised of labor,
materials, shipping, warranty reserve, and overhead allocation related to the
sale of TRACER 1000 units. Gross profit is comprised of revenue less cost of
revenue. Cost of revenue increased $379 thousand, or 127.2%, for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2022, compared to the year ended June 30, 2021, due to the
increase in revenue described above. Gross profit increased $156 thousand, or
433.3%, and gross margin increased to 22% during the fiscal year ended June 30,
2022, compared to the year ended June 30, 2021, as we have increased production
and benefited from associated volume discounts. Further, we have benefited from
implementing specific enhancements to our technology that have improved the
reliability of our systems.



Operating Expenses - Our operating expenses increased $841 thousand, or 10.6%, during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. Significant changes to operating expenses include the following:

• Selling, General and Administrative Expenses - Our selling, general and

administrative expenses increased by $1.3 million, or 26.7%, for the year

ended June 30, 2022, compared to the year ended June 30, 2021. This is due to

an increase in restricted non-cash equity compensation for employees to

incentivize long-term employee retention, director fees for our lead

independent director, and legal expenses related to our ongoing derivative


     litigation.




                                       41

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


  Table of Contents


• Research and Development Expenses - Research and development expenses

increased $89 thousand, or 3.3%, for the year ended June 30, 2022, compared

to the year ended June 30, 2021, largely driven by an increase in expenses

related to contractors and consultants and equipment for development of our


     BreathTech and AgLAB products.



• Disposal of long-lived assets decreased $513 thousand due to the termination

of our corporate office lease and the disposal of the leasehold improvement

assets and ROU assets and lease liabilities associated with that lease in

fiscal year 2021. As a result of this termination, our net cash savings over

the remainder of the lease was estimated to be approximately $870 thousand.






Other income and (expense), net - Other income, net for the year ended June 30,
2022 was $265 thousand compared to other expense, net of $235 thousand for the
year ended June 30, 2021. During fiscal year 2022, other income and expense, net
was driven by increased income earned on short-term, capital-preservation
investments as interest rates have increased and a reduction of interest expense
from the partial payment of related party notes in September 2021 which was the
primary driver of the prior year other expense, net.



Gain from extinguishment of PPP loan - We received full forgiveness of our PPP promissory note from the Small Business Administration in April 2021.





Income Taxes - Our income tax benefit did not change for the year ended June 30,
2022, compared to the year ended June 30, 2021. The realization of tax benefits
depends on the existence of future taxable income. Pursuant to ASC 740 "Income
Taxes", a valuation allowance has been established on all of our deferred tax
assets.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES





Sources of Liquidity



During the fiscal year 2021, we successfully completed several public offerings
of our common stock, raising net proceeds of approximately $67.6 million which
will be used to satisfy our short-term and long-term capital needs. We expect
that our short- and long-term liquidity requirements will consist of working
capital and general corporate expenses associated with the growth of our
business, including, without limitation, expenses associated with scaling up our
operations and continuing to increase our manufacturing capacity, sales and
marketing expense associated with rollout of our AgLAB and BreathTech products
to commercial customers, additional research and development expenses associated
with expanding our product offerings, and expenses associated with being a
public company. Our short-term capital expenditure needs relate primarily to the
expansion of our research and development capabilities and optimization of
existing business processes. We believe that our cash and cash equivalents and
investments will enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital
expenditure requirements for at least twelve months following the date these
consolidated financial statements are issued.



Funding Requirements



We expect our expenses to increase in connection with our ongoing activities,
particularly as we continue our research and development efforts and expand our
business efforts. Furthermore, we have incurred and will continue to incur
additional costs as a result of being a public company. Accordingly, we will
need to obtain additional funding in connection with our continuing operations.
If we are unable to raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, we would
be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate our research and development programs,
or future commercialization efforts.



Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with our research and
development efforts, we are unable to estimate the exact amount of our operating
capital requirements. Our future capital requirements will depend on many
factors, including:



  ? future research and development efforts;




  ? our ability to enter into and terms and timing of any collaborations,
    licensing agreements, or other arrangements;




                                       42

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


  Table of Contents



  ? the costs of sales, marketing, distribution and manufacturing efforts;




  ? our headcount growth and associated costs as we expand our business;




  ? the costs of preparing, filing and prosecuting patent applications,

maintaining and protecting our intellectual property rights and defending


    against intellectual property related claims; and




  ? the costs of operating as a public company.




Until such time, if ever, as we can generate positive cash flows from
operations, we expect to finance our additional cash needs through a combination
of equity offerings, debt financing, equity financing, merging, or engaging in a
strategic partnership. To the extent that we raise additional capital through
the sale of equity, our existing stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of
those securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely
affect the rights of holders of common stock. Debt financing, if available, may
involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to
take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital
expenditures or declaring dividends.



If we raise funds through additional strategic alliances or licensing
arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to
our technologies or future revenue streams or to grant licenses on terms that
may not be favorable to us. If we are unable to raise additional funds through
equity offerings, debt financings, equity financing or engaging in a strategic
partnership, we may be required to delay, limit, or reduce our expansion
efforts.

approximately $9.5 million during the year ended June 30, 2022, due to funding
our continuing operating expenses as well as partial repayment of the related
party notes.



Operating Activities



Net cash used in operating activities was $6.8 million for the year ended June
30, 2022, compared to cash used in operating activities of $7.4 million for the
year ended June 30, 2021. This decrease was caused by less inventory
purchases in fiscal year 2022 compared to 2021, partially offset by a decrease
in accounts payable as well as the receipt of an alternative minimum tax credit
in the prior period.
