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.
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 September 30, 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 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 liability.
Revenue results for the three month periods are summarized in the table below (dollar amounts in thousands).

Government/Institutional Revenue. Government/institutional revenue was approximately $531,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, representing an increase of approximately $105,000, or 24.6%, compared to approximately $426,000 during the same period in 2013. Institutional revenue, which includes sales to distributors, group purchasing organization (GPO) members, and other institutions, increased by $111,000 compared to the same period the prior year. The overall increase in Institutional and Governmental sales was the result of the continued focused efforts of our sales force. Governmental sales decreased $6,000 to approximately $182,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, from approximately $188,000 during the same period the prior year.
Gross profit
Gross profit increased to approximately $3,295,000, or 69.1% of net revenues, for the three months ended September 30, 2014, from approximately $2,356,000, or 68.9% of net revenues, in the same period in 2013. The increase in gross profit dollars resulted primarily from the increase in sales volume. The increase in gross profit percentage was primarily the result of higher revenues offsetting the higher manufacturing costs for the SmartVest SQL product as compared to the predecessor product. 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 $2,821,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, representing an increase of approximately $97,000, or 3.6%, compared to SG&A expenses of approximately $2,724,000 for the same period the prior year. Payroll and compensation-related expenses were approximately $1,558,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, representing an increase of approximately $170,000, or 12.2%, compared to approximately $1,388,000 in the same period the prior year. The increase was primarily due to an increase in commission payroll based on higher sales volume compared to the same period in 2013, along with the addition of personnel to our reimbursement department.
Professional fees for the three months ended September 30, 2014 were approximately $198,000, a decrease of approximately $83,000 compared to approximately $281,000 in the same period in the prior year. These fees are for services related to legal costs, reporting requirements, information technology security and backup, and 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.
Advertising and marketing expenses, including tradeshows and event sponsorships for the three months ended September 30, 2014 decreased by approximately $9,000 to approximately $99,000, compared to approximately $108,000 in the same period in the prior year. The decrease was related to marketing expenses incurred in preparation of our SmartVest SQL product launch in the same period in 2013. Travel, meals and entertainment expenses were approximately $274,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, representing a decrease of approximately $24,000, or 8.1%, compared to approximately $298,000 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.
Research and development expenses.Research and development expenses were approximately $75,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, representing a decrease of approximately $134,000, or 64.1%, compared to approximately $209,000 in the same period the prior year. The decrease was attributed to the completion and preparation for the launch of our Smart Vest SQL product in the prior year. Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2014 were 1.6% of revenue, compared to 6.1% of revenue in the same period the prior year. As a percentage of sales, management expects to spend approximately 2.0% to 4.0% of net revenue on research and development expenses over the long term, although the timing of certain projects will cause the expense in any individual quarter to fluctuate.

Interest expense
Interest expense was approximately $20,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, representing an increase of approximately $5,000, or 33.3%, compared to approximately $15,000 for the same period the prior year. The increase was caused by lower interest income included in net interest expense compared to the prior year.
Income tax expense / benefit
Income tax expense was estimated at approximately zero for the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to income tax benefit of $257,000 in the same period in the prior year. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was 0.0% and 43.4%, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2014, the Company recorded zero tax expense. As income is earned the Company’s net operating loss carryforward 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 three months ended September 30, 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 $155,000.
Net income/loss
Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was approximately $378,000 compared to net loss of approximately $335,000 for the same period the prior year. The net income was primarily the result of increased net revenues, improved margins and lower research and development expenses.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities
For the three months ended September 30, 2014, cash used in financing activities was approximately $11,000, which consisted entirely of principal payments on long-term debt.
For the three months ended September 30, 2013, cash used in financing activities was approximately $19,000, which consisted entirely of principal payments on long-term debt.
Adequacy of Capital Resources
Based on our current operational performance, we believe our working capital of approximately $9.2 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, 2014. 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, 2014 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, 2013, we entered into a new credit facility with Venture Bank, which replaced our facility with U.S. Bank. The new credit facility provides for a $2,500,000 revolving line of credit. There was no outstanding principal balance on the line of credit as of September 30, 2014. Interest on the line of credit accrues at the prime rate plus 1.50%, with a floor of 4.50% (4.75% at September 30, 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 57.75% of eligible accounts receivable, and the line of credit expires on December 18, 2014, 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 the new credit facility, 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 new credit facility contains certain financial and nonfinancial covenants which include a minimum tangible net worth covenant of not less than $12,000,000 and restrictions on our ability to incur certain additional indebtedness or pay dividends. We were in violation of the tangible net worth covenant during the quarter ended March 31, 2014, and the bank waived the event of default. On May 6, 2014, we entered into an amendment to the credit facility to reduce the requirement to maintain a minimum tangible net worth from $12,000,000 to $10,125,000. We were in compliance with the tangible net worth covenant as of September 30, 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 three months of fiscal years 2014 and 2013, we spent approximately $157,000 and $149,000 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.
