Electromed, Inc. and Subsidiary
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Interim Financial Reporting
Basis of presentation: Electromed, Inc. (the “Company”) develops, manufactures and markets innovative airway clearance products which apply High Frequency Chest Wall Oscillation (“HFCWO”) therapy in pulmonary care for patients of all ages. The Company markets its products in the United States to the home health care and institutional markets for use by patients in personal residences, hospitals and clinics. The Company also sells internationally both directly and through distributors. International sales were approximately $439,000 and $296,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Since its inception, the Company has operated in a single industry segment: developing, manufacturing and marketing medical equipment.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial statements and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations as required by Regulation S-X, Rule 10-01. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full year. The financial statements and related notes do not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for annual reports. This interim report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2014.
Principles of consolidation: The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Electromed, Inc. and its subsidiary, Electromed Financial, LLC. Operating activities and net assets in Electromed Financial, LLC were insignificant as of and for the three and six months ended December 31, 2014 and the year ended June 30, 2014. As of December 31, 2014, Electromed Financial, LLC was dissolved.
A summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies follows:
Use of estimates: Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing the consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could vary from the estimates that were used. The Company believes the critical accounting policies that require the most significant assumptions and judgments in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements include revenue recognition and the related estimation of selling price adjustments, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory obsolescence, share-based compensation, income taxes and the warranty reserve.
Net income (loss) per common share: Net income (loss) is presented on a per share basis for both basic and diluted common shares. Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The diluted net income (loss) per common share calculation assumes that all stock warrants were exercised and converted into common stock at the beginning of the period, unless their effect would be anti-dilutive. Common stock equivalents excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as their impact was anti-dilutive was 539,900 and 559,900 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2014, respectively. Common stock equivalents excluded from the calculation was 614,000 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2013.

Note 3. Warranty Liability
The Company provides a lifetime warranty on its products to the prescribed patient for sales within the United States and a three-year warranty for all institutional sales and sales to individuals outside the United States. The Company estimates the costs that may be incurred under its warranty and records a liability in the amount of such costs at the time the product is shipped. Factors that affect the Company’s warranty liability include the number of units shipped, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims, and cost per claim. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liability and adjusts the amounts as necessary.
Changes in the Company’s warranty liability were approximately as follows:

Note 4. Income Taxes
On a quarterly basis, the Company estimates what its effective tax rate will be for the full fiscal year and records a quarterly income tax provision based on the anticipated rate. As the year progresses, the Company refines its estimate based on the facts and circumstances by each tax jurisdiction. The effective tax rate for the six months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 was 0.0% and 37.6%, respectively. For the six months ended December 31, 2014, the Company recorded zero tax expense. As income is earned the Company’s net operating loss carryforward is applied to reduce taxable income to zero. Accordingly, the application of the net operating losses to reduce taxable income reduces the Company’s gross deferred tax assets. This reduction of the Company’s gross deferred tax assets will cause a corresponding decrease in respective valuation allowance. For the six months ended December 31, 2014, the Company recorded an income tax expense of zero and the decrease in the Company’s deferred tax assets and corresponding reduction in its deferred tax asset valuation allowance would be approximately $331,000.
During fiscal 2014, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance against all of its net US federal and state deferred tax assets. The Company assessed whether a valuation allowance should be established against its deferred tax assets based on consideration of all available evidence, using a “more likely than not” standard. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, the Company considered both positive and negative evidence related to the likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets. In making such assessments, more weight was given to evidence that could be objectively verified. Under this approach the recent cumulative losses is a significant piece of significant negative evidence. This factor impairs the Company’s ability to rely on future taxable income projections in determining whether a valuation allowance is appropriate. Future sources of taxable income considered in determining the amount of recorded valuation allowance include:
| |
●
|
Taxable income in prior carryback years, if carryback is permitted under the tax law;
|
| |
●
|
Future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, excluding those related to indefinite-lived intangible assets;
|
| |
●
|
Tax planning strategies; and
|
| |
●
|
Future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards.
|
On a quarterly basis, the Company evaluates all positive and negative evidence, as discussed above, in determining if the valuation allowance is fairly stated. Based the Company’s review of this evidence, management believes that a full valuation allowance against all of the Company’s deferred tax assets at December 31, 2014 remains appropriate.
Note 5. Financing Arrangements
The Company has a credit facility that provides for a revolving line of credit and a term loan. On December 18, 2014, the company renewed its $2,500,000 revolving line of credit. There was no outstanding principal balance on the line of credit as of December 31, 2014 or June 30, 2014. Interest on the line of credit accrues at the prime rate plus 1.00%, with a floor of 4.50% (4.50% at December 31, 2014) and is payable monthly. The amount eligible for borrowing on the line of credit is limited to the lesser of $2,500,000 or 57.00% of eligible accounts receivable and the line of credit expires on December 18, 2015, if not renewed. The line of credit is secured by a security interest in substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets of the Company.
As a part of the credit facility, the Company has a term loan which had an outstanding principal balance of approximately $1,261,000 and $1,298,000 at December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014 respectively. The term loan bears interest at 5.00%, with monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $8,600 and a final payment of principal and interest of approximately $1,095,000 due on the maturity date of December 18, 2018. The term loan is secured by a mortgage on the Company’s real property.
The Company’s credit facility contains certain financial and nonfinancial covenants which include a minimum tangible net worth covenant of not less than $10,125,000 and restrictions on the Company’s ability to incur certain additional indebtedness or pay dividends.
Note 6. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is occasionally involved in claims and disputes arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company insures its business risks where possible to mitigate the financial impact of individual claims, and establishes reserves for an estimate of any probable cost of settlement or other disposition.
Note 7. Related Parties
The Company uses a parts supplier whose founder and president is a director of the Company. For the six months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company made payments to the supplier of approximately $70,000 and $102,000, respectively.

Overview
Electromed, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company” or “Electromed”) was incorporated in 1992. We are engaged in the business of providing innovative airway clearance products applying High Frequency Chest Wall Oscillation (“HFCWO”) therapy in pulmonary care for patients of all ages.
We manufacture, market and sell products that provide HFCWO, including the Electromed, Inc. SmartVest® Airway Clearance System (“SmartVest System”) and related products, to patients with compromised pulmonary function. The products are sold for both the home health care market and the institutional market for use by patients in hospitals, which are referred to as “institutional sales.” For approximately twelve years, we have marketed the SmartVest System and its predecessor products to patients suffering from cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis (including chronic bronchitis or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) that has resulted in a diagnosis of bronchiectasis), or any one of certain enumerated neuro-muscular diseases. Reimbursement often requires the patients with these conditions to demonstrate that another less expensive physical or mechanical treatment did not adequately mobilize retained secretions. Additionally, we offer such products, upon physician prescription to a patient population that includes post-surgical and intensive care patients, patients with end-stage neuromuscular disease, and ventilator-dependent patients. Our goal is to be a consistent innovator with unmatched customer service in providing HFCWO to patients with impaired pulmonary function.
During the second half of fiscal year 2014 we launched exclusively to the domestic homecare market, our next generation SmartVest System, the SmartVest SQL, which was designed with features that our patients and clinicians asked for. In addition to being smaller, quieter and lighter than our previous versions, we enhanced programmability and ease of use. We expect to offer the SmartVest SQL to the institutional and international segments although a specific timeframe has not been determined.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our critical accounting policies and estimates are disclosed in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and Note 1 to our Audited Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Part II, Item 8, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014. The critical accounting policies used in the preparation of the financial statements as of December 31, 2014 have remained unchanged from June 30, 2014.
Some of our accounting policies require us to exercise significant judgment in selecting the appropriate assumptions for calculating amounts contained in the financial statements. Such judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. These judgments are based upon our historical experience, known trends in our industry, terms of existing contracts and other information from outside sources, as appropriate. We believe the critical accounting policies that require the most significant assumptions and judgments in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements include: revenue recognition and the estimation of selling price adjustments, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory obsolescence, share-based compensation, income taxes, and warranty reserve.

Home Care Revenue. Home care revenue was approximately $4,458,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2014, representing an increase of approximately $1,541,000, or 52.8%, compared to the same period in 2013. The increase in revenue was caused by continued improvements in the company’s reimbursement operations including new third party payer contracts and process improvements leading to faster approval cycle times, higher referrals, higher average selling price and greater referral to approval percentage, as compared with the same period in the prior year.
International Revenue. International revenue was approximately $40,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2014, representing a decrease of approximately $107,000, or 72.8%, compared to the same period in 2013. International sales can be affected by the timing of distributor purchases and may fluctuate on a quarterly basis. We believe the majority of the decrease was due to our distributors in the European Union pulling forward device purchases into the prior quarter ended September 30, 2014, due to the Company delaying SmartVest System compliance with Directive 2011/65/EU (RoHS 2) which became effective for medical devices on July 22, 2014 in the European Union. RoHs 2 addresses concerns related to increasing volume of electrical and electronic equipment waste in the European Union. We expect to be in compliance with RoHS 2 and to resume shipping to our European Union distributors sometime during the second half of fiscal 2015.
Government/Institutional Revenue. Government/institutional revenue was approximately $383,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2014, representing a decrease of approximately $54,000, or 12.4%, compared to approximately $437,000 during the same period in the prior year. Institutional revenue, which includes sales to distributors, group purchasing organization (GPO) members, and other institutions, decreased by $26,000 and governmental revenue decreased $28,000 compared to the same period in the prior year. The overall decrease in institutional and government sales was the result of fewer device sales partially offset by an increase in the sales of garments.
Gross profit
Gross profit increased to approximately $3,403,000, or 69.7% of net revenues, for the three months ended December 31, 2014, from approximately $2,523,000, or 72.1% of net revenues, in the same period in the prior year. The increase in gross profit dollars resulted primarily from the increase in domestic home care revenue. The decrease in gross profit percentage was primarily the result of an impairment charge, included in cost of goods sold, taken on tooling we will no longer use for the production of SmartVest SQL parts. Efforts continue to bring manufacturing costs for the SmartVest SQL in line with our previous products. As we implement more cost effective manufacturing process we will obsolete the current manufacturing tools when they will no longer be used. During the second quarter of fiscal 2015 these charges totaled approximately $107,000. Based on our current cost reduction projects we expect total additional charges in the future to be approximately $180,000. We believe that as we grow sales, we will again be able to leverage manufacturing costs more effectively and margins will return to historical levels above 70%.
Operating expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were approximately $2,872,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2014, representing an increase of approximately $133,000, or 4.9% compared to SG&A expenses of approximately $2,739,000 for the same period the prior year. Payroll and compensation-related expenses were approximately $1,582,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2014, representing an increase of approximately $133,000, or 9.2% compared to approximately $1,449,000 in the same period the prior year. This increase was due to additional expenses related to commissions and bonuses based on higher revenue and profitability.
Professional fees for the three months ended December 31, 2014 were approximately $211,000, an increase of approximately $36,000 compared to approximately $175,000 in the same period in the prior year. These fees are for services related to legal costs, reporting requirements, consulting, expenses related to information technology security and backup, and expenses for printing and other shareowner services. The increase in fees over the same period last year was primarily due to consulting fees related to a contract employee and fees related to sales training.
Advertising and marketing expenses, including tradeshows and event sponsorships for the three months ended December 31, 2014 decreased by approximately $28,000 to approximately $127,000, compared to approximately $155,000 in the same period in the prior year. The decrease was due to lower costs for marketing and advertising projects compared to the prior year. Travel, meals and entertainment expenses were approximately $250,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2014, representing a decrease of approximately $32,000, or 11.3%, compared to expenses of approximately $282,000 for the same period in the prior year. This decrease was primarily due to a territory and travel planning initiative implemented by our sales team.
In addition, selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately $42,000 compared to the same period in the prior year due to the 2.3% medical device excise tax, which is assessed on certain domestic device sales.
Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses were approximately $84,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2014, representing a decrease of approximately $9,000, or 9.7%, compared to approximately $93,000 in the same period the prior year. Research and development expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2014 were 1.7% of revenue, compared to 2.7% of revenue in the same period the prior year. As a percentage of revenue, we expect to spend approximately 2.0% to 4.0% of revenue on research and development expenses over the long term.
Interest expense
Interest expense was approximately $25,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2014, representing an increase of approximately $6,000, or 31.6%, compared to approximately $19,000 for the same period the prior year.
Income tax expense/benefit
Income tax expense was estimated at approximately zero for the three months ended December 31, 2014, compared to income tax benefit of $89,000 in the same period in the prior year. The effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 was 0.0% and 27.1%, respectively. As income is earned the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards are applied to reduce taxable income to zero. Accordingly, the application of the net operating losses to reduce taxable income reduces the Company’s gross deferred tax assets. This reduction of the Company’s gross deferred tax assets will cause a corresponding decrease in the respective valuation allowance. For the three months ended December 31, 2014, the Company recorded an income tax expense of zero and the decrease in its deferred tax assets and corresponding reduction in its deferred tax asset valuation allowance would be approximately $176,000.
Net Income (loss)
Net income for the three months ended December 31, 2014 was approximately $423,000 compared to net loss of approximately $239,000 for the same period the prior year. The increase in net income was primarily the result of an increase in domestic home care revenue.

Home Care Revenue. Home care revenue was approximately $8,299,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2014, representing an increase of approximately $2,539,000, or 44.1% compared to the same period in 2013. The increase in revenue was caused by continued improvements in the company’s reimbursement operations including new third party payer contracts and process improvements leading to faster approval cycle times, higher referrals, higher average selling price and greater referral to approval percentage, as compared with the same period in the prior year.
International Revenue. International revenue was approximately $439,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2014, representing an increase of approximately $143,000, or 48.3% compared to the same period in 2013. We believe that a portion of the increase was due to our distributors in the European Union pulling forward device purchases due to the Company delaying SmartVest System compliance with Directive 2011/65/EU (RoHS 2) which became effective for medical devices July 22, 2014 in the European Union. RoHs 2 addresses concerns related to increasing volume of electrical and electronic equipment waste in the European Union. We expect to be in compliance with RoHS 2 and to resume shipping to our European Union distributors sometime during the second half of fiscal 2015.
Government/Institutional Revenue. Government/institutional revenue was approximately $914,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2014, representing an increase of approximately $51,000, or 5.9%, compared to approximately $863,000 during the same period in the prior year. This resulted from a $35,000 decrease in government sales, which decreased to approximately $248,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2014. Institutional revenue, which includes sales to distributors, group purchasing organization (GPO) members, and other institutions, increased by $85,000 compared to the same period the prior year. The overall increase in institutional and government sales was the result of the continued focused efforts of our sales force.
Gross profit
Gross profit increased to approximately $6,698,000, or 69.4% of net revenues, for the six months ended December 31, 2014, from approximately $4,879,000, or 70.5% of net revenues, in the same period in the prior year. The increase in gross profit dollars resulted primarily from the increase in domestic home care revenue. The decrease in gross profit percentage was primarily the result of an impairment charge, included in cost of goods sold, taken on tooling we will no longer use for the production of SmartVest SQL parts. Efforts continue to bring manufacturing costs for the SmartVest SQL in line with our previous products. As we implement more cost effective manufacturing process we will obsolete the current manufacturing tools when they will no longer be used. During the first six months of fiscal 2015 these charges totaled approximately $107,000. Based on our current cost reduction projects we expect total additional charges in the future to be approximately $180,000. We believe that as we grow sales, we will again be able to leverage manufacturing costs more effectively and margins will return to historical levels above 70%.
Operating expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were approximately $5,694,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2014, representing an increase of approximately $231,000, or 4.2%, compared to SG&A expenses of approximately $5,463,000 for the same period the prior year. Payroll and compensation-related expenses were approximately $3,141,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2014, representing an increase of approximately $303,000, or 10.7%, compared to approximately $2,838,000 in the same period the prior year. This increase was due to additional expenses related to commissions and bonuses based on higher revenue and profitability.
Advertising and marketing expenses, including tradeshows and event sponsorships expenses were approximately $186,000 in the six months ended December 31, 2014, representing a decrease of approximately $77,000, or 29.3%, compared to approximately $263,000 in the same period in the prior year. This decrease was primarily due to the additional advertising and marketing expenses incurred in the prior period for preparation of the market launch of the new SmartVest SQL.
Professional fees for the six months ended December 31, 2014 were approximately $448,000, a decrease of approximately $21,000 compared to approximately $469,000 in the same period in the prior year. These fees are for services related to legal costs, reporting requirements, consulting, expenses related to information technology security and backup, and expenses for printing and other shareowner services. The decrease in fees over the same period last year was primarily due to a shareholder’s proposal at our 2013 Annual Meeting of Shareholders that resulted in litigation that was resolved in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. The decrease in these legal fees was partially offset by an increase in consulting fees associated with sales training and a contract employee.
In addition, selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately $48,000 compared to the same period in the prior year due to the 2.3% medical device excise tax, which is assessed on certain domestic device sales.
Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses were approximately $159,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2014, representing a decrease of approximately $143,000, or 47.4%, compared to approximately $302,000 in the same period the prior year. The decrease was due to finalizing the development and testing of the new SmartVest SQL in the prior period. Research and development expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2014 were 1.6% of revenue, compared to 4.4% of revenue in the same period the prior year. As a percentage of revenue, management expects to spend approximately 2.0% to 4.0% of revenue on research and development expenses over the long term.
Interest expense
Interest expense was approximately $45,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2014, representing an increase of approximately $10,000, or 28.6%, compared to approximately $35,000 for the same period the prior year. The increase in net interest expense resulted from a decrease in interest income compared to prior year.
Income tax expense/benefit
Income tax expense was estimated at approximately zero for the six months ended December 31, 2014, compared to income tax benefit of $346,000 in the same period in the prior year. The effective tax rate for the six months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 was 0.0% and 37.6%, respectively. As income is earned the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards are applied to reduce taxable income to zero. Accordingly, the application of the net operating losses to reduce taxable income reduces the Company’s gross deferred tax assets. This reduction of the Company’s gross deferred tax assets will cause a corresponding decrease in respective valuation allowance. For the six months ended December 31, 2014, the Company recorded an income tax expense of zero and the decrease in its deferred tax assets and corresponding reduction in its deferred tax asset valuation allowance would be approximately $331,000.
Net income ( loss)
Net income for the six months ended December 31, 2014 was approximately $800,000 compared to a net loss of approximately $575,000 for the same period the prior year. The increase in net income was primarily the result of an increase in domestic home care revenue in the first six months of fiscal 2015.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flows and Sources of Liquidity
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
For the six months ended December 31, 2014, net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $1,273,000. Cash flows provided by operations consisted of approximately $800,000 in net income, adjusted for non-cash expenses of approximately $558,000, offset by an increase in accounts receivable and prepaid expenses and other assets of $142,000 and $19,000, respectively. In addition, accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased approximately $74,000.
For the six months ended December 31, 2013, net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $1,132,000. Cash flows provided by operations consisted of approximately $575,000 in net loss, adjusted for non-cash expenses of approximately $424,000, offset by decreases in accounts receivable of $1,973,000 and increases in inventories and prepaid expenses and other assets of $887,000 and $211,000, respectively. In addition, accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased approximately $408,000.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
For the six months ended December 31, 2014, cash used in investing activities was approximately $286,000 for purchases of property and equipment.
For the six months ended December 31, 2013, cash used in investing activities was approximately $293,000. During this period we paid approximately $291,000 for purchases of property and equipment. We also paid approximately $2,000 for patent related costs.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
For the six months ended December 31, 2014, cash used in financing activities was approximately $38,000, which consisted of principal payments on long-term debt of $23,000, and payments of deferred financing fees of $15,000.
For the six months ended December 31, 2013, cash used in financing activities was approximately $105,000 which consisted of principal payments on long-term debt of $70,000, and payments of deferred financing fees of $35,000.
Adequacy of Capital Resources
Based on our current operational performance, we believe our working capital of approximately $9.8 million and available borrowings under the existing credit facility will provide adequate liquidity for the next year. Our current line of credit expires on December 18, 2015. Based on our ability to service our debt and relationship with our lender we believe that we will be able to renew our line of credit prior to December 18, 2015 or obtain alternative financing. However, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to procure additional financing upon favorable terms, if at all.
On December 18, 2014, we renewed our $2,500,000 revolving line of credit with Venture Bank, which was initially entered into on December 18, 2013 as part of our credit facility with Venture Bank. There was no outstanding principal balance on the line of credit as of December 31, 2014. Interest on the line of credit accrues at the prime rate plus 1.00%, with a floor of 4.50% (4.50% at December 31, 2014) and is payable monthly. The amount eligible for borrowing on the line of credit is limited to the lesser of $2,500,000 or 57.00% of eligible accounts receivable, and the line of credit expires on December 18, 2015, if not renewed. The line of credit is secured by a security interest in substantially all of our tangible and intangible assets.
As a part of our credit facility with Venture Bank, we also refinanced our outstanding U.S. Bank term loan, which had an outstanding principal balance of approximately $1,341,000 and bore interest at 5.79%. This loan was repaid in full and replaced by a $1,300,000 term loan from Venture Bank that bears interest at 5.00%, with monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $8,600 and a final payment of principal and interest of approximately $1,095,000 due on the maturity date of December 18, 2018. The term loan is secured by a mortgage on our real property.
Our credit
facility with Venture Bank contains certain financial and nonfinancial covenants which include a minimum tangible net worth
covenant of not less than $10,125,000 and restrictions on our ability to incur certain additional indebtedness or pay
dividends. We were in compliance with the tangible net worth covenant as of December 31, 2014.
Any failure to comply with these covenants in the future may result in an event of default, which if not cured or waived, could result in the lender accelerating the maturity of our indebtedness, preventing access to additional funds under the credit facility, requiring prepayment of outstanding indebtedness under the credit facility, or refusing to renew the line of credit. If the maturity of the indebtedness is accelerated or the line of credit is not renewed, sufficient cash resources to satisfy the debt obligations may not be available and we may not be able to continue operations as planned. The indebtedness under the credit agreement is secured by a security interest in substantially all of our tangible and intangible assets. If we are unable to repay such indebtedness, the bank could foreclose on these assets.
For the first six months of fiscal years 2014 and 2013, we spent approximately $286,000 and $291,000 on property and equipment, respectively. We currently expect to finance equipment purchases with cash flows from operations or borrowings under our credit facility. We may need to incur additional debt if we have an unforeseen need for additional capital equipment or if our operating performance does not generate adequate cash flows.
