Note 1. Interim Financial Reporting

Basis of presentation: Electromed, Inc. (the “Company”) develops, manufactures and markets innovative airway clearance products that apply High Frequency Chest Wall Oscillation (“HFCWO”) therapy in pulmonary care for patients of all ages. The Company markets its products in the U.S. 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 $112,000 and $84,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Since its inception, the Company has operated in a single industry segment: developing, manufacturing and marketing medical equipment.

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial statements and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Condensed 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. 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. GAAP for annual reports. This interim report should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 (“fiscal 2021”).

Impacts of COVID-19 on the Company’s business:

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business remains uncertain, and its effects on its operational and financial performance will depend in large part on future developments, which cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. Such future developments include, but are not limited to, the duration, scope and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic in geographic areas where the Company operates or in which its patients live, actions taken to contain or mitigate its impact, the impact on governmental healthcare programs and budgets, the development and distribution of treatments or vaccines, and the resumption of widespread economic activity. Due to the inherent uncertainty of the unprecedented and rapidly evolving situation, the Company is unable to predict with confidence the likely impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its future operations. For a more detailed discussion, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part I, Item 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

A summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies follows:

Use of estimates. Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing the unaudited Condensed Financial Statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. 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 unaudited Condensed Financial Statements include revenue recognition and the related estimation of variable consideration, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory obsolescence, share-based compensation and warranty liability.

Net income per common share. Net income is presented on a per share basis for both basic and diluted common shares. Basic net income per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding any restricted stock awards which have not vested. The diluted net income per common share calculation includes outstanding restricted stock grants and assumes that all stock options 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 because their impact was anti-dilutive was 110,752 and 48,500 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Note 2. Revenues

Revenue is measured based on consideration specified in the contract with a customer, adjusted for any applicable estimates of variable consideration and other factors affecting the transaction price, including non-cash consideration, consideration paid or payable to customers and significant financing components. Revenue from all customers is recognized when a performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control of a distinct good or service to a customer, as further described below under Performance obligations and transaction price.

Individual promised goods and services in a contract are considered a performance obligation and accounted for separately if the individual good or service is distinct (i.e., the customer can benefit from the good or service on its own or with other resources that are readily available to the customer and the good or service is separately identifiable from other promises in the arrangement). If an arrangement includes multiple performance obligations, the consideration is allocated between the performance obligations in proportion to their estimated standalone selling price, unless discounts or variable consideration is attributable to one or more but not all the performance obligations. Costs related to products delivered are recognized in the period incurred, unless criteria for capitalization of costs under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 340-40, “Other Assets and Deferred Costs” (“ASC 340”), or other applicable guidance are met.

The Company includes shipping and handling fees in net revenues. Shipping and handling costs associated with the shipment of the Company’s SmartVest® Airway Clearance System (“SmartVest System”) after control has transferred to a customer are accounted for as a fulfillment cost and are included in cost of revenues in the Condensed Statements of Operations.

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in accounts receivable on the Condensed Balance Sheets as further described below under Accounts receivable and Contract assets.

Disaggregation of revenues. In the following table, net revenues are disaggregated by market:

Schedule of disaggregated revenue


	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2021		2020
Home Care	$	9,284,000	$	7,464,000
Institutional		449,000		278,000
Home Care Distributor		156,000		178,000
International		112,000		84,000
Total	$	10,001,000	$	8,004,000

In the following table, net home care revenue is disaggregated by payer type:


	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2021		2020
Commercial	$	3,784,000	$	2,726,000
Medicare		5,176,000		4,383,000
Medicaid		174,000		188,000
Other		150,000		167,000
Total	$	9,284,000	$	7,464,000

Revenues in the Company’s home care, home care distributor, and international markets are recognized at a point in time when control passes to the customer upon product shipment or delivery. Revenues in the Company’s institutional market include sales recognized at a point in time upon shipment or delivery as well as revenues recognized over time under operating leases.

Performance obligations and transaction price. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account under ASC 606, “Revenue From Contracts With Customers” (“ASC 606”). A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation in proportion to the standalone selling price for each and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. The Company’s performance obligations and the timing or method of revenue recognition in each of the Company’s markets are discussed below:

Home care market. In the Company’s home care market, its customers are patients who use the SmartVest System. The various models of the SmartVest System are comprised of three main components - a generator, a vest and a connecting hose - that are sold together as an integrated unit. Accordingly, in contracts within the home care market, the Company regards the SmartVest System to be a single performance obligation.

The Company makes available to its home care patients limited post-sale services that are not material in the context of the contracts, either individually or taken together, and therefore does not consider them to be performance obligations. The costs associated with the services are accrued and expensed when the related revenues are recognized. As such, transactions in the home care market consist of a single performance obligation: the SmartVest System.

Home care patients generally will rely on third-party payers, including commercial payers and governmental payers such as Medicare, Medicaid and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to cover and reimburse all or part of the cost of the SmartVest System. The third-party payers’ reimbursement programs fall into three types, distinguished by the differences in the timing of payments from the payer, consisting of either (i) outright sale, in which payment is received from the payer based on standard terms, (ii) capped installment sale, under which the SmartVest System is sold for a series of payments that are capped not to exceed a prescribed or negotiated amount over a period of time or (iii) installment sale, under which the SmartVest System is paid for over a period of several months as long as the patient continues to use the SmartVest System.

Regardless of the type of transaction, provided criteria for an enforceable contract are met, it is the Company’s long-standing business practice to regard all home care agreements as transferring control to the patient upon shipment or delivery, in spite of possible payment cancellation under government or commercial programs where the payer is controlling the payment over specified time periods. For home care sales that feature installment payments, the ultimate amount of consideration received from Medicare, Medicaid or commercial payers can be significantly less than expected if the contract is terminated due to changes in the patient’s status, including insurance coverage, hospitalization, death or otherwise becoming unable to use the SmartVest System. However, once delivered to a patient who needs the SmartVest System, the patient is under no obligation to return the SmartVest System should payments be terminated as a result of the described contingencies. As a result, the Company’s product sales qualify for point in time revenue recognition. Control transfers to the patient, and revenue is recognized, upon shipment of the SmartVest System. At this point, physical possession and the significant risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the patient and either a current or future right to payment is triggered, as further discussed under Accounts receivable and Contract assets below.

The Company’s contractually stated transaction prices in the home care market are generally set by the terms of the contracts negotiated with insurance companies or by government programs. The transaction price for the Company’s products may be further impacted by variable consideration. ASC 606 requires the Company to adjust the transaction price at contract inception and throughout the contract duration for the estimated value of payments to be received from insurance payers based on historical experience and other available information, subject to the constraint on estimates of variable consideration. Transactions requiring estimates of variable consideration primarily include (i) capped installment payments, which are subject to the third-party payer’s termination due to changes in insurance coverage, death or the patient’s discontinued use of the SmartVest System, (ii) contracts under appeal and (iii) patient responsibility amounts for deductibles, coinsurance, copays and other similar payments.

Although estimates may be made on a contract-by-contract basis, whenever possible, the Company uses all available information, including historical collection patterns, to estimate variable consideration for portfolios of contracts. The Company’s estimates of variable consideration consist of amounts it may receive from insurance providers in excess of its initial revenue estimate due to patients meeting deductibles or coinsurance during the payment duration, changes to a patient’s insurance status, changes in an insurance allowable, claims in appeals with Medicare and amounts received directly from patients for their allowable or coinsurance. The Company believes it has representative historical information to estimate the amount of variable consideration in relevant portfolios considering the significant experience it has with each portfolio and the similarity of patient accounts within a portfolio. The analysis includes steps to ensure that revenue recognized on a portfolio basis does not result in a material difference when compared with an individual contract approach. The Company also leverages its historical experience and all available relevant information for each portfolio of contracts to minimize the risk its estimates used to arrive at the transaction price will result in a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price if, in the Company’s judgment, it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract will not occur.

For example, for contracts in which the Company believes the criteria for reimbursement under government or commercial payer contracts have been met but for which coverage is unconfirmed or payments are under appeal, the Company has significant observable evidence of relatively consistent claims recovery experience over the prior three to five years. The Company believes the low volatility in historical claims approval rates for populations of patients whose demographics are similar to those of current patients provides reliable predictive value in arriving at estimates of variable consideration in such contracts. Similarly, historical payment trends for recovery of claims subject to payer installments and payments from patients have remained relatively consistent over the past five years. No significant changes in patient demographics or other relevant factors have occurred that would limit the predictive value of such payment trends in estimating variable consideration for current contracts. As a result, the Company believes its estimates of variable consideration are generally not subject to the risk of significant revenue reversal.

For each type of variable consideration discussed above, there are a large number of contracts with similar characteristics with a wide range of possible transaction prices. For that reason, the Company uses the probability-weighted expected value method provided under ASC 606 to estimate variable consideration.

The Company often receives payment from third-party payers for the SmartVest System sales over a period of time that may exceed one year. Despite these extended payment terms, no significant financing component is deemed to exist because the purpose of such terms is not to provide financing to the patient, the payer or the Company. Rather, the extended payment terms are mandated by the government or commercial insurance programs; the fundamental purpose of which is to avoid paying the full purchase price of equipment that may potentially be used by the patient for only a short period of time.

Home care distributors. Sales to distributors, who sell direct to patients, are made at fixed contract prices and may include tiered pricing structures or volume-based rebates which offer more favorable pricing once certain volumes are achieved per the negotiated contract. The distributor’s purchases accumulate to give the distributor a right to a higher discount on purchases in excess of the specified level within the contract period. As a result, to the extent the Company expects the distributor to exceed the specified volume of purchases in the annual period, it recognizes revenue at a blended rate based on estimated total annual volume and sales revenue. This effectively defers a portion of the transaction price on initial purchases below the specified volumes for recognition when the higher discount is earned on purchases in excess of specified volumes. Transfer of control of the products occurs upon shipment or delivery to the distributor, as applicable.

Institutional market. The Company’s institutional sales are made to hospitals and home health care centers, pulmonary rehabilitation centers and other clinics. Sales to these institutions are negotiated with the individual institution or with group purchasing organizations, with payments received directly from the institution. No insurance reimbursement is involved. Generators are either sold or leased to the institutions and associated hoses and wraps (used in institutional settings rather than vests) are sold separately. Accordingly, each product is distinct and considered a separate performance obligation in sales to institutional customers. The agreements with institutions fall into three main types, distinguished by differences in the timing of transfer of control and timing of payments:

●

Outright sale – Under these transactions, the Company sells its products for a prescribed or negotiated price. Transfer of control of the product, and associated revenue recognition, occurs at the time of shipment and payment is made within normal credit terms, usually within 30 days.

●

Wrap usage agreements – Under these transactions, the Company provides a generator device at no cost to the hospital in return for a fixed annual commitment to purchase disposable wraps. These agreements are cancellable by either party with a 60-day notice period. If cancelled by the customer, generator is returned to the Company, where it can be refurbished and used again at a later date. Revenue for the disposable wraps is recognized as revenue when control transfers to the customer.

●

Rental – Under these transactions, the customer obtains a right to use the product for a period of time in exchange for consideration as usage occurs. These transactions are treated as operating leases and revenue is recognized ratably over the applicable rental period. Lease revenue recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was approximately $1,000 and approximately zero, respectively.

International market. Sales to international markets are made directly to a number of independent distributors at fixed contract prices that are not subject to further adjustments for variable consideration. Transfer of control of the products occurs upon shipment or delivery to the distributor, as applicable.

Product warranty. The Company offers warranties on its products. These warranties are assurance-type warranties not sold on a standalone basis or are otherwise considered immaterial in the context of the contract, and therefore are not considered distinct performance obligations under ASC 606. The Company estimates the costs that may be incurred under its warranties and records a liability in the amount of such costs at the time the product is sold.

Accounts receivable. Accounts receivable include amounts billed to customers and third-party payers, for which only the passage of time is required before payment of consideration is due. Amounts due are stated at their net estimated realizable value.

Contract assets. Contract assets include amounts recognized as revenue that are estimates of variable consideration for Medicare appeals where the final determination of the insurance coverage amount is dependent on future approval of an appeal, or when the consideration due to the Company is dependent on a future event such as the patient meeting a deductible prior to the Company’s claim being processed by the payer. Contract assets are classified as current as amounts will turn into accounts receivable and be collected during the Company’s normal business operating cycle. Contract assets are reclassified to accounts receivable when the right to receive payment is unconditional.

Incremental costs to obtain a contract. Sales incentives paid to sales representatives are eligible for capitalization as they are incremental costs that would not have been incurred without entering into a specific sales arrangement and are recoverable through the expected margin on the transaction. However, the recovery period is less than one year as the performance obligation is satisfied upon shipment or delivery. Consequently, the Company applies the practical expedient provided by ASC 340 and expenses sales incentives as incurred. These costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Statements of Operations.

Contract balances. The following table provides information about accounts receivable and contracts assets from contracts with customers:

Schedule of contract assets

	September 30, 2021		June 30, 2021
Receivables, included in “Accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts”	$	18,363,000	$	17,032,000
Contract assets	$	319,000	$	393,000

Significant changes in contract assets during the period are as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30, 2021			Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2021
	Increase (decrease)			Increase (decrease)
Contract assets, beginning	$	393,000		$	903,000
Reclassification of contract assets to accounts receivable		(222,000	)		(1,551,000	)
Contract assets recognized		187,000			1,060,000

Less: Reserve for obsolescence		(300,000	)		(300,000	)
Total	$	2,023,000		$	2,114,000

Note 4. Warranty Liability

The Company provides a lifetime warranty on its products to the prescribed patient for sales within the U.S. and a three-year warranty for all institutional sales and sales to individuals outside the U.S. 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, the product’s useful life 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:

Accrual for products sold
	Three Months Ended September 30, 2021			Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2021
Warranty reserve, beginning	$	940,000		$	740,000
Accrual for products sold		18,000			354,000
Expenditures and costs incurred for warranty claims		(28,000	)		(154,000	)
Warranty reserve, ending	$	930,000		$	940,000

Note 5. Income Taxes

Income tax expense was estimated at approximately $108,000, and the effective tax rate was 19.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Estimated income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2021 includes a discrete current tax benefit of approximately $20,000 related to the exercise of stock options.

Income tax expense was estimated at approximately $137,000, and the effective tax rate was 20.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2020. Estimated income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2020 included a discrete current tax benefit of approximately $39,000 related to the exercise of stock options.

Note 6. Financing Arrangements

The Company has a credit facility that provides for a revolving line of credit and a term loan. Effective December 18, 2020, the Company renewed its $2,500,000 revolving line of credit. There was no outstanding principal balance on the line of credit as of September 30, 2021, or June 30, 2021. Interest on borrowings under the line of credit, if any, accrues at the prime rate (3.25% at September 30, 2021) less 1.00% 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, 2021, if not renewed. At September 30, 2021, the maximum $2,500,000 was eligible for borrowing. Payment obligations under the line of credit, if any, are secured by a security interest in substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets of the Company.

The documents governing the line of credit contain certain financial and nonfinancial covenants that 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 7. Share-Based Compensation

The Company’s share-based compensation plans are described in Note 8 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2021. Share-based compensation expense was approximately $249,000 and $191,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. This expense is included in selling, general and administrative expense in the Condensed Statements of Operations. As of September 30, 2021, approximately $1,275,000 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to non- vested equity awards was expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 0.9 years.

Stock Options

Stock option transactions during the three months ended September 30, 2021 are summarized as follows:

	Number of Shares			Weighted Average Exercise Price per Share
Outstanding at June 30, 2021		468,049		$	4.98
Granted		70,800		$	11.40
Exercised		(25,334	)	$	5.44
Cancelled or Forfeited		(11,331)		$	10.82
Outstanding at September 30, 2021		502,184		$	5.73

The following assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of stock options granted:

	Three Months Ended September 30, 2021		Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2021
Risk-free interest rate		0.93-1.07%		0.31-0.59%
Expected term (years)		6		6
Expected volatility		338%		283-335%

The intrinsic value of an option is the amount by which the fair value of the underlying stock exceeds its exercise price. At September 30, 2021, the weighted average remaining contractual term for all outstanding stock options was 6.0 years and the aggregate intrinsic value of the options was $2,741,000. Outstanding at September 30, 2021 were 502,184 stock options issued to employees, of which 418,638 were vested and exercisable and had an aggregate intrinsic value of $2,734,000.

Restricted Stock

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company issued restricted stock awards to employees totaling 25,900 shares of common stock, with a vesting term of three years and a weighted average fair value of $11.35 per share. There were 51,403 shares of unvested restricted stock with a weighted average fair value of $11.80 per share as of September 30, 2021.

Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is occasionally involved in claims and disputes arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company insures certain 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.

On September 8, 2021, a state court putative class action lawsuit was filed in Minnesota against the Company asserting injury resulting from the previously announced data breach that impacted the Company’s customer protected health information and employee personal information and seeking compensatory damages, equitable relief, and attorneys’ fees and costs. On October 6, 2021, the proceeding was removed to the District of Minnesota. The Company believes the plaintiff was not injured as a result of the data privacy incident and, as a result, their claims are without merit. The Company expects to vigorously defend the lawsuit; however, it is currently unable to determine the ultimate outcome or potential exposure to loss, if any.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited Condensed Financial Statements and related notes thereto included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and our audited financial statements and related notes thereto included in Part II, Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 (“fiscal 2021”).

Overview

Electromed, Inc. (“we,” “our,” “us,” “Electromed” or the “Company”) develops and provides innovative airway clearance products applying High Frequency Chest Wall Oscillation (“HFCWO”) technologies in pulmonary care for patients of all ages.

We manufacture, market and sell products that provide HFCWO, including the SmartVest® Airway Clearance System (“SmartVest System”) that includes our newest generation SmartVest SQL® and previous generation SV2100, and related products, to patients with compromised pulmonary function. The SmartVest SQL is smaller, quieter and lighter than our previous product, with enhanced programmability and ease of use. Our products are sold in both the home health care market and the institutional market for use by patients in hospitals, which we refer to as “institutional sales.” The SmartVest SQL has been sold in the domestic home care market since 2014. In 2015, we launched the SmartVest SQL into institutional and certain international markets. In June 2017, we announced the launch of the SmartVest SQL with SmartVest Connect™ wireless technology, which allows data connection between physicians and patients to track therapy performance and collaborate in treatment decisions. SmartVest Connect is currently available to pediatric and cystic fibrosis patients and was made available to certain targeted adult pulmonary clinics starting in November 2017. Since 2000, we have marketed the SmartVest System and its predecessor products to patients suffering from cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis and repeated episodes of pneumonia. Additionally, we offer our products to a patient population that includes neuromuscular disorders such as cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophies, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (“ALS”), the combination of emphysema and chronic bronchitis commonly known as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (“COPD”), and patients with post-surgical complications or who are ventilator dependent or have other conditions involving excess secretion and impaired mucus transport.

The SmartVest System is often eligible for reimbursement from major private insurance providers, health maintenance organizations (“HMOs”), state Medicaid systems, and the federal Medicare system, which we believe is an important consideration for patients considering an HFCWO course of therapy. For domestic sales, the SmartVest System may be reimbursed under the Medicare-assigned billing code (E0483) for HFCWO devices if the patient has cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis (including chronic bronchitis or COPD that has resulted in a diagnosis of bronchiectasis), or any one of certain enumerated neuromuscular diseases, and can demonstrate that another less expensive physical or mechanical treatment did not adequately mobilize retained secretions. Private payers consider a variety of sources, including Medicare, as guidelines in setting their coverage policies and payment amounts.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

For a description of our critical accounting policies, estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our financial statements, including the unaudited Condensed Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, see Note 1 to our unaudited Condensed Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Part II, Item 7, and Note 1 to our audited financial statements included in Part II, Item 8, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2021.

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. Among other factors, 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 our financial statements, including the unaudited Condensed Financial Statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, include: revenue recognition and the estimation of variable consideration, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory obsolescence, share-based compensation and warranty liability.

Impacts of COVID-19 on Our Business and Operations

In March 2020, the World Health Organization designated COVID-19 as a global pandemic, and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services designated COVID-19 as a public health emergency. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business remains uncertain, and its effects on our operational and financial performance will depend in part on future developments, which cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. Such future developments include, but are not limited to, the duration, scope and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic in geographic areas in which we operate or in which our patients live, actions taken to contain or mitigate its impact, the impact on governmental healthcare programs and budgets, the development and distribution of treatments or vaccines, and the resumption of widespread economic activity. Due to the inherent uncertainty of the unprecedented and evolving situation, we are unable to predict with confidence the likely impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our future operations.

During the first quarter of our fiscal year ending June 30, 2022 (“fiscal 2022”), we experienced a reduction in the number of clinics allowing face-to-face access by our sales team as the number of infections relating to the delta variant of COVID-19 increased throughout most regions of the United States and hospitals implemented additional safety protocols. Our sales team continued to utilize a hybrid sales process of virtual and face-to-face clinician interaction with strict adherence to specific clinic and healthcare system safety protocols, which we believe allowed them to drive stronger referral growth compared to the prior-year period.

We believe that the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our home care and institutional business will likely continue during the remainder of fiscal 2022. Our home care and institutional revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2021 has increased as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020; however, if COVID-19 infection rates increase and federal, state and local restrictions on commerce, stay-at-home orders or other restrictions on businesses are reinstated, then such measures could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We have observed some minor changes to our supply chain timelines and increased raw material and shipping costs during the most recent quarter, but we have not experienced any material adverse impacts on our supply chain or product costs at this time. It is possible the COVID-19 pandemic could have an adverse impact on our supply chain in the future, including impacts associated with preventative and precautionary measures that other businesses and applicable governments are taking. A reduction or interruption in any of our manufacturing processes could have a material adverse effect on our business. Any significant increases to our raw material or shipping costs could reduce our gross margins.

We have also taken measures to ensure the safety of our employees and to comply with applicable governmental orders. We consider our business to be essential under applicable governmental orders, primarily due to our role in manufacturing and supplying needed medical devices to patients with respiratory-related issues and have therefore continued to operate during the government restrictions put in place in response to the pandemic.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the U.S. federal government’s declaration of a public health emergency, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) implemented a number of temporary rule changes and waivers to allow prescribers to best treat patients during the period of the public health emergency. These waivers became effective on March 1, 2020. Clinical indications and documentation typically required will not be enforced for respiratory-related products including the SmartVest System (solely with respect to Medicare patients). The minimum documentation now requires a valid order and documentation of a respiratory related diagnosis. Face-to-face and in-person requirements for respiratory devices are being waived while the waiver is in place. The CMS waiver was recently extended in conjunction with the extension of the federal public health emergency for an additional 90-day period beginning October 15, 2021.

The Company continues to evaluate the scope and application of existing, pending and potential COVID-19 vaccination mandates and their potential impacts on our future financial condition and results of operations.

In September 2021, President Biden announced a proposed new regulation requiring all employers with at least 100 employees to ensure that their employees are fully vaccinated or require unvaccinated workers to obtain a negative COVID-19 test at least once per week. The Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration has been charged with drafting an emergency temporary standard implementing this announced directive. As a company with more than 100 employees, we expect to be subject to the regulation. It remains unclear when the regulation may take effect, if the vaccination mandate will apply to all employees or only employees who work in office environments, how compliance will be documented, and what standards will apply with respect to any vaccination or testing options or exceptions.

Additionally, in September 2021 President Biden signed an executive order directing executive departments and agencies to include a clause in all covered federal contracts to comply with guidance issued by the Safer Federal Workforce Task Force, which requires, among other things, covered federal contractor employees, including employees working remotely related to federal contracts, to be fully vaccinated by December 8, 2021, unless the employee is entitled to an accommodation. As a federal contractor to the Department of Veterans Affairs Federal Supply Schedule (“Veterans Administration”), we are subject to this regulation. Approximately $557,000, or 1.6%, of our fiscal 2021 total revenues, were attributable to the Veterans Administration, and we intend to leverage that business as a future growth opportunity; approximately 19 million U.S. veterans were served by the Veterans Administration healthcare system in calendar year 2020.

It is currently not possible to predict with certainty the specific quantitative or operational impacts existing or future vaccination requirements may have on our operations, including potential employee attrition. We anticipate achieving compliance with any applicable requirements, but we cannot be certain that all personnel will agree to required vaccinations or otherwise qualify for permissible accommodations. We are working to identify potential at-risk roles to minimize potential business disruption. If we were to lose employees, it could impact our ability to meet customer demand and have an adverse effect on future revenues and costs, which could be material. Accordingly, the pending and proposed new regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Results of Operations

Net Revenues

Net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 are summarized in the table below (dollar amounts in thousands).

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2021		2020		Increase (Decrease)
Home care	$	9,284,000	$	7,464,000	$	1,820,000		24.4	%
Institutional		449,000		278,000		171,000		61.5	%
Home care distributor		156,000		178,000		(22,000	)	(12.4	%	)
International		112,000		84,000		28,000		33.3	%
Total	$	10,001,000	$	8,004,000	$	1,997,000		25.0	%

Home care revenue. Home care revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was approximately $9,284,000, representing an increase of approximately $1,820,000, or 24.4%, compared to the same period in fiscal 2021. The increase was primarily due to an increase in referrals and approvals. The increase in referrals was due to increased productivity from existing sales representatives, an increase in direct sales representatives, the sales team adapting to a hybrid virtual and face-to-face selling model implemented to combat clinic access limitations due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and continued benefits of the CMS waiver on the non-commercial Medicare portion of our home care revenue.

The CMS waiver continues to benefit the non-commercial Medicare portion of our home care revenue by increasing the number of referrals and the approval percentage for non-covered diagnoses. We believe that our ongoing sales team execution, along with the expected return to pre-COVID-19 levels of patient face-to-face engagement with physicians and clinic access for our sales team, has the potential to mitigate the impact of a CMS waiver expiration, which is currently effective until January 2022.

Institutional revenue. Institutional revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was approximately $449,000, representing an increase of approximately $171,000, or 61.5%, compared to the same period in fiscal 2021. The increase in the current year period was due to increased capital purchases and stronger disposable volumes compared to the prior year period, as hospitals resumed utilization of HFCWO protocols, after reducing utilization early in the COVID-19 pandemic.

Home care distributor revenue. Home care distributor revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was approximately $156,000, representing a decrease of approximately $22,000, or 12.4%, compared to the same period in fiscal 2021. We began selling to a limited number of home medical equipment distributors during fiscal 2020, who in turn sell our SmartVest System in the U.S. home care market.

International revenue. International revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was approximately $112,000, representing an increase of approximately $28,000, or 33.3%, compared to the same period in fiscal 2021. International sales are affected by the timing of international distributor purchases which can cause significant fluctuations in reported revenue on a quarterly basis.

Gross profit

Gross profit increased to approximately $7,701,000, or 77.0% of net revenues, for the three months ended September 30, 2021, from approximately $6,148,000, or 76.8% of net revenues, in the same period in fiscal 2021. The increase in gross profit dollars for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily due to stronger home care revenue. The increase in gross profit percentage was primarily due to favorable revenue mix, partially offset by increased raw material and shipping costs.

Operating expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were approximately $6,787,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2021, representing an increase of approximately $1,783,000, or 35.6%, compared to the same period in the prior year.

Payroll and compensation-related expenses were approximately $4,015,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2021, representing an increase of approximately $716,000, or 21.7%, compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in the current year period was due to a higher average number of employees in sales and marketing roles, increased commissions on higher home care revenue, two separate merit increases, including a December 2020 merit increase that was originally delayed from the normal July 2020 timing, and increased health insurance costs. Field sales employees totaled 51 at the end of Q1 FY 2022, 41 of which were direct sales representatives, compared to 42 field sales employees and 35 direct sales representatives at the end of Q1 FY 2021.

Travel, meals and entertainment expenses were approximately $641,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2021, representing an increase of approximately $277,000 or 76.1%, compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in the current year period was primarily due to our sales representatives resuming closer-to-normal levels of travel compared to the COVID-19 driven travel restrictions in the prior year, and a national sales meeting that was held in the current fiscal quarter but was not held in the prior year due to COVID-19.

Total discretionary marketing expenses were approximately $153,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2021, representing a decrease of approximately $36,000, or 19.0%, compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease in the current year period was primarily due to a shift to more cost-effective direct-to-consumer marketing investments.

Professional fees for the three months ended September 30, 2021 were approximately $1,111,000, an increase of approximately $657,000, or 144.7%, compared to the same period in the prior year. Professional fees are primarily for services related to legal costs, shareowner services and reporting requirements, information technology technical support and consulting fees. The increase in the current year period was primarily due to increased costs related to shareholder activism, which concluded with a cooperation agreement that became effective in September 2021. Shareholder activism related costs primarily consisted of communication firm consulting fees, legal cost, settlement costs and proxy solicitation fees. We also continued to make key investments in our systems infrastructure, including investments in our ERP system, enhancements to our customer relationship management system, and further optimization of the revenue cycle management system that was implemented in June 2021. We expect to make continued investments in our systems infrastructure over the next year, which we expect will result in more efficient and scalable operational processes and provide enhanced analytics to drive business performance.

Research and development expenses. Research and development (“R&D”) expenses were approximately $376,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2021, representing a decrease of approximately $105,000 compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease in the current year period was primarily due to reduced professional services costs associated with our next generation platform development. R&D expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2021 were 3.8% of revenue compared to 6.0% of revenue for the same period in the prior year.

Interest income, net

Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was approximately $9,000, which was essentially flat compared to the prior year period. Interest earned on our cash balance remains at a historically low rate.

Income tax expense

Income tax expense was estimated at $108,000 and $137,000 and the effective tax rate was 19.7% and 20.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Estimated income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2021 included a $20,000 discrete tax benefit related to the exercise of stock options. The net impact of this discrete event decreased the estimated effective tax rates by 3.7% during the three months ended September 30, 2021. The income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2020 includes a discrete tax benefit of $39,000 related to the exercise of stock options.

Net income

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was approximately $439,000 compared to approximately $535,000 for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in the current year period was primarily due to costs related to the shareholder activism matter and increased investment in SG&A, partially offset by stronger revenue performance.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows and Sources of Liquidity

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

For the three months ended September 30, 2021, net cash used by operating activities was approximately $576,000. Cash flows provided by operating activities consisted of net income of approximately $439,000, an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $396,000, non-cash expenses of $439,000, a decrease in contract assets of $74,000, and a decrease in inventory of $91,000. These cash flows from operating activities were offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $1,331,000, an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of $186,000, and an increase in income tax receivable of $498,000. The increase in accounts receivable was primarily due to an increase in the Medicare portion of our home care business, which has a 13-month payment cycle.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

For the three months ended September 30, 2021, cash used in investing activities was approximately $270,000. Cash used in investing activities consisted of approximately $225,000 in investments in property and equipment primarily for our next generation platform, and approximately $45,000 in expenditures for intangible asset costs.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

For the three months ended September 30, 2021, cash used in financing activities was approximately $63,000, which consisted of taxes paid on net share settlements of stock option exercises.

Adequacy of Capital Resources

Our primary working capital requirements relate to adding employees to our sales force and support functions, continuing R&D efforts, IT infrastructure projects, and supporting general corporate needs, including financing equipment purchases and other capital expenditures incurred in the ordinary course of business. Based on our current operational performance, we believe our working capital of approximately $27,617,000 and available borrowings under our existing credit facility will provide adequate liquidity during fiscal 2022.

Effective December 18, 2020, we renewed our credit facility, which provides us with a revolving line of credit. Interest on borrowings on the line of credit accrues at the prime rate (3.25% at September 30, 2021) less 1.00% and is payable monthly. There was no outstanding principal balance on the line of credit as of September 30, 2021 or June 30, 2021. 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, 2021, if not renewed. At September 30, 2021, the maximum $2,500,000 was available under the line of credit. Payment obligations under the line of credit are secured by a security interest in substantially all of our tangible and intangible assets.

The documents governing our line of credit contain certain financial and nonfinancial covenants that include a minimum tangible net worth of not less than $10,125,000 and restrictions on our ability to incur certain additional indebtedness or pay dividends.

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 line of credit, requiring prepayment of outstanding indebtedness, 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. If we are unable to repay such indebtedness, the lender could foreclose on these assets.

For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we spent approximately $225,000 and $16,000, respectively, on property and equipment. We currently expect to finance planned equipment purchases with available working capital, 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.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2021, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.
