Item 1. Business
Our Company
Dynatronics is a Utah corporation formed on April 29, 1983. Our predecessor company, Dynatronics Research Company, was formed in 1979. Our principal business is the distribution and marketing of physical medicine and aesthetic products many of which we design and manufacture. We operate on a fiscal year basis, ending on June 30. For example, reference to fiscal year 2013 refers to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013. All references to financial statements in this report refer to the consolidated financial statements of Dynatronics Corporation and its subsidiary, Dynatronics Distribution Co. LLC.
Recent Developments
In June 2013, we introduced our new Dynatron® 25 Series electrotherapy/ultrasound line of combination therapy devices to the market. This new line consists of four separate devices: the Dynatron 925, Dynatron 825, Dynatron 625 and Dynatron 525. These four units provide seven different types of electrotherapy treatments and three frequencies of ultrasound, including our proprietary three-frequency ultrasound transducers. They are capable of delivering between three and five separate treatments simultaneously, depending on the model. The ability to provide multiple treatments simultaneously is expected to be very helpful in busy clinics and training rooms, or for patients needing treatment of multiple areas of the body. This new product line was specially designed to be sold through our expanding channel of general line distributors.
1
In December 2012, we introduced a new line of motorized treatment tables. The Ultra 2 and Ultra 3 are the first of projected future treatment tables manufactured for Dynatronics by Enraf-Nonius, a well-established manufacturer of physical therapy products in Europe. These tables offer features popular to the practitioner such as full-length foot bars that elevate and lower the table height together with a unique wheel raising system that lifts the table allowing an easy change between mobility and stability. Enraf tables are known for their high quality standards and are competitively priced for the US market.
In December 2012, we completed a 1-for-5 reverse split of its common stock. All common stock share and per share information in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been adjusted to reflect retrospective application of the reverse stock split, except for par value per share and the number of authorized shares, which were not affected by the reverse stock split.
In August 2012, we introduced to the market our new Dynatron® Solaris®Plus line of combination therapy devices that are capable of generating seven waveforms of electrotherapy and our patented three-frequency ultrasound, as well as phototherapy through either a newly designed hand-held phototherapy probe or two phototherapy pads. These newly-designed phototherapy pads and probes are the most powerful and reliable phototherapy tools we have ever offered. The probe includes outputs of up to 1,000 milliwatts of infrared wavelength light, 500 milliwatts of blue wavelength light and 500 milliwatts of red wavelength light. The SolarisPlus product line consists of four new units, the Dynatron SolarisPlus 709, 708, 706, and 705, as well as the new Tri-Wave phototherapy probe and Tri-Wave phototherapy pads. These attractive new units provide our most advanced technology and can be mounted on a customized cart for ease of use. This new line of products represents the most comprehensive redesign project in our history and updates the Solaris line of products introduced in 2003.
Description of Products
We manufacture and distribute a broad line of medical equipment for physical medicine applications including therapy devices, medical supplies and soft goods, treatment tables and rehabilitation equipment. Our products are used primarily by physical therapists, chiropractors, sports medicine practitioners, podiatrists, physicians and other physical medicine professionals.
We also manufacture and distribute a line of aesthetic equipment including aesthetic massage and microdermabrasion devices, as well as skin care products. These products are used by aestheticians, plastic surgeons, dermatologists and other aesthetic services providers.
The products we manufacture fall into the following categories: Physical Medicine Products and Aesthetic Products.
Physical Medicine Products
Electrotherapy - The therapeutic effects of electrical energy have occupied an important position in physical medicine for over five decades. There has been an evolution through the years to use the most effective and painless waveforms and frequencies to produce patient comfort and successful treatment of pain and related physical ailments. Medium frequency alternating currents, which we use primarily in our electrotherapy devices, are believed to be the most effective and comfortable for patients. Electrotherapy can be effective in treating chronic intractable pain and/or acute post-traumatic pain, increasing local blood circulation, relaxation of muscle spasms, prevention or retardation of disuse atrophy, and muscle re-education.
Therapeutic Ultrasound - Ultrasound therapy provides therapeutic deep heat to soft tissue through the introduction of sound waves into the body. It is one of the most common modalities used in physical therapy for treating pain, muscle spasms and joint contractures.
We market a broad line of devices that include electrotherapy, ultrasound or a combination of both of these modalities in a single device. The Dynatron 125 ultrasound and the new “25 Series” electrotherapy/ultrasound devices target the lower-priced segment of the market. The Dynatron SolarisPlus products add tri-wave phototherapy capabilities to electrotherapy and ultrasound combination devices. We intend to continue development of our core therapy technology and remain a leader in the design, manufacture and sale of therapy equipment.
2
Phototherapy – Phototherapy has been popular among physical medicine practitioners for its ability to provide topical heating to increase local blood circulation, provide temporary relief of minor muscle and joint aches, pain and stiffness as well as to treat minor pain and stiffness associated with arthritis. The wavelength of the light determines the depth of penetration – the longer the wavelength the deeper the penetration. The benefits of phototherapy have been documented by numerous research studies published over the past four decades.
Our Dynatron SolarisPlus 709, 708, 706, and 705 units, as well as the Dynatron X3 and DX2 devices, all feature phototherapy technology. These units are capable of powering either the handheld Tri-Wave phototherapy probe or the larger Tri-Wave phototherapy pads. The Dynatron Tri-Wave pad is capable of treating larger areas of the body via unattended infrared, red and blue wavelength phototherapy. The Dynatron Tri-Wave phototherapy probe is used in an attended mode targeting specific treatment sites by the practitioner. Both the Tri-Wave Pad and Tri-Wave Probe are powered by the Dynatron SolarisPlus units.
Thermal Therapy – For many decades, physical therapists and other medical practitioners have relied on cold compression therapy as a primary standard of care for treating patient injuries and for post surgical conditions. In March 2012, we introduced the new Dynatron Quad7 therapy device to the market. The innovative Quad7 incorporates technology designed to deliver thermal therapy (hot or cold) and compression therapy through a variety of wraps and innovative ThermoStim Probes. The ThermoStim Probes are also designed to provide simultaneous thermal therapy and electrotherapy treatments. The Quad7 has the flexibility to offer seven different treatments as follows:
1)
|
Intermittent compression
|
2)
|
Cold and compression
|
3)
|
Heat and compression
|
4)
|
Cold and stim
|
5)
|
Heat and stim
|
6)
|
Cold
|
7)
|
Heat
|
The ability to offer such a variety of treatments is unique to the Quad7 and dramatically expands both the variety and location of conditions that can be treated. The Dynatron Quad7 employs state-of-the-art technology providing precise temperature control while moving beyond the current standard by eliminating the need for ice when providing cold therapy.
A new version of the ThermoStim Probe is scheduled for introduction before December 31, 2013. This new probe employs thermoelectric technology that allows the delivery of thermal therapy and/or electrotherapy with only a connection to a Dynatron SolarisPlus device. It will no longer require a connection to a Quad7 unit to deliver thermal therapy.
Oscillation Therapy - Soft tissue oscillation therapy has been used for the treatment of pain in Europe for over 16 years, yet it has been used in the United States market for only approximately 10 years. The Dynatron X5 Oscillation Therapy device creates an electrostatic field within the patient, resulting in a highly effective treatment for reducing minor muscle aches and pains.
Iontophoresis - Iontophoresis uses electrical current to transdermally deliver drugs such as lidocaine for localized treatment of inflammation without the use of needles. The Dynatron iBoxTM, our proprietary iontophoresis device, is capable of delivering two treatments simultaneously. We also distribute a line of proprietary iontophoresis electrodes under the brand name of Dynatron® Ion electrodes along with other types of iontophoresis electrodes from other manufacturers.
Manufactured Medical Supplies and Soft Goods - We currently manufacture or have manufactured for us over 700 medical supply and soft goods products including hot packs, cold packs, lumbar rolls, exercise balls, wrist splints, ankle weights, cervical collars, slings, cervical pillows, bolsters, positioning wedges, back cushions, weight racks, rehabilitation products, back and wrist braces, mat tables, work tables, training stairs, and parallel bars.
3
Manufactured Treatment Tables and Rehabilitation Equipment - We manufacture and distribute motorized and manually operated physical therapy treatment tables, rehabilitation parallel bars, and other specialty rehabilitation products.
Distributed Medical Equipment, Supplies and Soft Goods - Over the years, we have significantly expanded the number of products we distribute to include additional exercise equipment, massage therapy products, treatment tables, parallel bars, hand therapy products, hot and cold therapy products, lotions and gels, paper products, athletic tape, canes and crutches, reflex hammers, stethoscopes, splints, elastic wraps, exercise weights, Thera-BandÒ (a registered mark of Hygenic Corp.) tubing, walkers, treadmills, stair climbers, heating units for hot packs, whirlpools, gloves, electrodes, hydrotherapy and aquatic exercise products, clinical supplies, aids to daily living products, cardio equipment, diagnostic and evaluation products, orthopedic supports, patient positioners, rehabilitation equipment, traction equipment, wound and edema care products, pilates and yoga equipment, nutritional supplements, emergency care products and portable electrotherapy products. Our full-line catalog was updated in 2013 and contains over 13,000 rehabilitation products.
We market our products through direct sales representatives, independent dealers, our e-commerce website and our product catalog. We continually seek to update our line of manufactured and distributed medical supplies and soft goods.
Aesthetic Products
We manufacture and market a line of aesthetic products under the brand name of Synergie™. The Synergie Elite Aesthetic Massage System (“AMS”) applies therapeutic vacuum massage to skin and subcutaneous tissues to achieve a temporary reduction in the appearance of cellulite and reduces the circumferential body measurements of the treated areas.
The results of a Dynatronics-sponsored research study available at our offices show that 91% of Synergie participants experienced a reduction in the appearance of cellulite. In addition, participants on average reported a cumulative reduction of six-inches in girth around the hips, thighs, and waist.
We also manufacture and market the Synergie Elite microdermabrasion device as a companion to the AMS device. The microdermabrasion device gently exfoliates the upper layers of skin, exposing softer, smoother skin. In conjunction with the microdermabrasion devices, we offer a unique line of skin care products under the trademark Calisse™ which is designed to enhance the effects of the microdermabrasion treatments.
As part of the aesthetics line of products, we market the Synergie Elite LT device which provides phototherapy for aesthetic applications. Phototherapy is used in aesthetic applications to improve skin tone and appearance. Combining elements of the AMS vacuum massage techniques with microdermabrasion and Synergie Elite LT for phototherapy has provided aestheticians with the ability to provide an enhanced “ultimate facial” available only with the use of Synergie devices.
Sales Mix Among Key Products
No product accounted for more than 10% of total revenues in fiscal years 2013 and 2012. Sales of manufactured physical medicine products represented approximately 46% and 42% of total physical medicine product sales in fiscal years 2013 and 2012, respectively. Distribution of products manufactured by other suppliers accounted for the balance of our physical medicine product sales in those years.
Patents and Trademarks
Patents. We hold a United States patent on the microdermabrasion technology that will remain in effect until February 2020. We also hold two United States design patents on the microdermabrasion device that will remain in effect until November 2015. Additionally, we hold a United States patent on the combination of our aesthetic massage and microdermabrasion technologies that will remain in effect until February 2020, a United States patent on our phototherapy technology that will remain in effect until August 2025, and a United States patent on our combination traction/phototherapy technology that will remain in effect until December 2026. An additional patent application relating to our thermoelectric technology has been filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and is pending.
Trademarks. We have developed and we use registered trademarks in our business, particularly relating to our corporate and product names. The trademark “Dynatron®” has been registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. In addition, United States trademark registrations have been obtained for the trademarks: “Dynatron Solaris®,” “Synergie®,” “Synergie Peel®,” “Dynaheat®,” “BodyIce®, and “Nutura®.” Our materials are also protected under copyright laws, both in the United States and internationally.

Federal registration of a trademark enables the registered owner of the mark to bar the unauthorized use of the registered mark in connection with a similar product in the same channels of trade by any third-party anywhere in the United States, regardless of whether the registered owner has ever used the trademark in the area where the unauthorized use occurs. We have filed applications and own trademark registrations, and we may register additional trademarks in countries where our products are or may be sold in the future. Protection of registered trademarks in some jurisdictions may not be as extensive as the protection in the United States.
We also claim ownership and protection of certain product names, unregistered trademarks, and service marks under common law. Common law trademark rights do not provide the same level of protection that is afforded by the registration of a trademark. In addition, common law trademark rights are limited to the geographic area in which the trademark is actually used. We believe these trademarks, whether registered or claimed under common law, constitute valuable assets, adding to recognition of Dynatronics and the effective marketing of Dynatronics products. Trademark registration onceobtained is essentially perpetual, subject to the payment of a renewal fee. We therefore believe that these proprietary rights have been and will continue to be important in enabling us to compete.
Trade Secrets. We own certain intellectual property, including trade secrets that we seek to protect, in part, through confidentiality agreements with key employees and other parties involved in research and development. Even where these agreements exist, there can be no assurance that these agreements will not be breached, that we would have adequate remedies for any breach, or that our trade secrets will not otherwise become known to or independently developed by competitors. Our proprietary product formulations are generally considered trade secrets, but are not otherwise protected under intellectual property laws.
We intend to protect our legal rights concerning intellectual property by all appropriate legal action. Consequently, we may become involved from time to time in litigation to determine the enforceability, scope, and validity of any of the foregoing proprietary rights. Any patent litigation could result in substantial cost and divert the efforts of management and technical personnel.
Warranty Service
We provide a warranty on all products we manufacture for time periods ranging in length from 90 days to five years from the date of sale. We service warranty claims on these products primarily at our Cottonwood Heights, Utah and Chattanooga, Tennessee facilities depending on the service required. We also have field service in other parts of the United States and Canada. Our warranty policies are comparable to warranties generally available in the industry. Warranty claims were approximately $160,000 and $125,000 in fiscal years 2013 and 2012, respectively. However, with the introduction of many new products in the last year, we expect that warranty expenses may rise in fiscal year 2014.
Products we distribute carry warranties provided by the manufacturers of those products. We do not generally supplement these warranties or provide unreimbursed warranty services for distributed products. We also sell accessory items for our manufactured products that are supplied by other manufacturers. These accessory products carry warranties from their original manufacturers without supplement from us.
Customers and Markets
We sell our products primarily to licensed practitioners such as physical therapists, chiropractors, podiatrists, sports medicine specialists, medical doctors, hospitals and clinics, plastic surgeons, dermatologists and aestheticians. We currently have 52 direct sales representatives. We also utilize a network of over 200 independent dealers throughout the United States and internationally. Most dealers purchase and take title to the products, which they then sell to licensed practitioners.
We have entered into agreements with several Group Purchasing Organizations (“GPOs”) and regional/national chains of physical therapy clinics and hospitals. We sell our products directly to these clinics and hospitals pursuant to preferred pricing arrangements. We also have preferred pricing arrangements with key dealers who commit to purchase certain volumes and varieties of products. No single dealer or national account or group of related accounts was responsible for 10% or more of total sales in fiscal years 2013 and 2012.
5
We export products to approximately 30 different countries. Sales outside North America totaled approximately $647,000, or 2.2% of net sales, in fiscal year 2013, compared to approximately $897,000, or 2.8% of net sales, in fiscal year 2012. We are working to establish effective distribution for our products in international markets. Our Utah facility is certified to the ISO 13485 quality standard for medical device manufacturing. This ISO designation enables us to qualify for the CE Mark, a designation required for marketing products in the European community, and signifies the device or product was manufactured pursuant to a certified quality system. We have no foreign manufacturing operations. However, we purchase certain products and components from foreign manufacturers.
Competition
We believe our key products are distinguished competitively by our use of the latest technology. Several of our products are protected by patents. We believe that the integration of advanced technology in the design of each product has distinguished Dynatronics’ branded products in a very competitive market. For example, we were the first company to integrate infrared phototherapy as part of a combination therapy device. By manufacturing a portion of the products that we sell, we can focus on quality engineered products at competitive prices. We believe these factors give us an edge over many competitors who are solely distributors of competing products. Furthermore, the addition of direct sales representatives over the course of the last six years, together with our current expansion of general line dealers, has provided us with improved distribution channels for our products. These distribution channels provide important competitive advantages due to many established relationships with clinics which directly affect the sale and distribution of our manufactured products as well as products of other manufacturers that we distribute, including products from competitors such as Mettler Electronics, manufacturer of the Sonicator brand of electrotherapy and ultrasound therapy products and DJO, manufacturer of the Chattanooga brand of electrotherapy products, and many manufacturers of treatment tables, medical supplies and soft goods. Generally, since the migration from being primarily a manufacturer to being a manufacturer and distributor, the competitive landscape takes on different dimensions as outlined below. Dynatronics is one of only two companies in the physical medicine industry that has a direct sales force; the other is Patterson Medical (formerly Sammons Preston), a division of Patterson Companies.
Information necessary to determine or reasonably estimate our market share or that of any competitor in any of these markets is not readily available.
Electrotherapy/Ultrasound
We compete in the clinical market for electrotherapy and ultrasound devices with both domestic and foreign companies. Approximately 12 companies produce electrotherapy and/or ultrasound devices. Some of these competitors are larger and better established, and have greater resources than us. Other than Dynatronics, few companies, domestic or foreign, provide multiple-modality devices, which is one important distinction between us and our competition. Furthermore, we believe no competitor offers three frequencies on multiple-sized soundheads or provides the proprietary electrotherapy features offered in our electrotherapy devices. We believe that our primary domestic competitors that manufacture competitive clinical electrotherapy and ultrasound equipment include DJO (Chattanooga Brand), Rich-Mar, Mettler Electronics, and the Metron Division of Patterson Medical.
Phototherapy
Competitors that manufacture and market phototherapy devices include DJO (Chattanooga Brand), Rich-Mar, Erchonia, Apollo, Multi Radiance and MedX. We are aware of only two competitors, DJO and Rich-Mar, that offer a device that includes phototherapy along with electrotherapy and ultrasound capabilities.
Medical Supplies and Soft Goods
We compete against various manufacturers and distributors of medical supplies and soft goods, some of which are larger, more established and have greater resources than us. Excellent customer service, along with providing online ordering capability and value to customers is of key importance for us to remain competitive in this market. While there are many specialized manufacturers in this area such as DJO, Hausmann Industries and Fabrication Enterprises, most of our competitors are primarily distributors such as Patterson Medical, North Coast Medical and Meyer Distributing. It is not common for manufacturers of products in this category to have any direct distribution of their products. They typically rely on distribution companies like Dynatronics or the competitors mentioned in this section for sale of their products. We enjoy cost advantages on the products we manufacture and distribute directly to end users compared to companies that only distribute similar products. Dynatronics and Patterson Medical are the only two companies with a direct sales force. All other competitors are primarily catalog or internet sales companies. In addition to our proprietary products, we also distribute products manufactured by many of our competitors.
6
Iontophoresis
Our competitors in the iontophoresis market include DJO (EMPI and Iomed divisions) Rich-Mar, Travanti Pharma and ActivaTek Inc. We believe that DJO enjoys the largest market share of the iontophoresis market. We also believe that our strong distribution network is important to our continued ability to compete in this increasingly competitive market. In addition, our products target a lower selling price than the products of DJO.
Treatment Tables
Our primary competition in the treatment table market is from domestic manufacturers including Hill Laboratories Company, Hausmann Industries, Patterson Medical, Bailey Manufacturing, Tri-W-G, DJO, Armedica, and Clinton Industries. We believe we compete based on our industry experience and product quality. In addition, certain components of the treatment tables are manufactured overseas, which we believe allows for pricing advantages over competitors.
Aesthetic Products
Our primary competitor in the therapeutic massage industry is Silhouette Tone. Other competitors include Cynosure, Inc., Palomar Medical, LPG, and Syneron. The Synergie Elite AMS device utilizes proprietary technology that has been proven effective in a research study and in more than ten years of use by doctors and spas. In addition, we provide a comprehensive training and certification program for aestheticians and medical practitioners. Our aesthetic massage equipment is priced lower than competitors’ units, providing a significant advantage in the marketplace. There are a number of competitors in the microdermabrasion market including Mega Peel, Diamond Peel, DermaGenesis, DermaMed, E-Med, Integremed, Medical Alliance, Palomar, Slimtone USA and Soundskin Corp. The Synergie microdermabrasion device incorporates a patented anti-clogging design for the crystals, which sets it apart from competitors’ units. In addition, the system has an innovative disposable system for the abrasive material, which prevents unwanted contact with the spent crystals following treatment. Powered by the Synergie Elite AMS device, the Synergie Elite microdermabrasion device is one of the most powerful and easy to control units on the market.
Competitors in the phototherapy segment of the aesthetic market include Revitalite, Silhouette Tone, Photo Actif, and DermaPulse. We believe the Synergie Elite LT device is the most powerful of all the units on the market. It features a computerized dosage calculation system and is competitively priced.
Manufacturing and Quality Assurance
We manufacture therapy devices, soft goods and other medical products at our facilities in Cottonwood Heights, Utah and Chattanooga, Tennessee. We purchase some components for our manufactured products from third-party suppliers. All parts and components purchased from these suppliers meet specifications we have established. Trained staff performs all sub-assembly, final assembly and quality assurance procedures. Every effort is made to design Dynatronics products to incorporate component parts and raw materials that are readily available from suppliers.
The development and manufacture of our products is subject to rigorous and extensive regulation by the United States Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, and other regulatory agencies and authorities in the United States and abroad. In compliance with the FDA’s Good Manufacturing Practices, or GMP, we have developed a comprehensive program for processing customer feedback and analyzing product performance trends. By ensuring prompt processing of timely information, we are better able to respond to customer needs and ensure proper operation of the products.
Our Cottonwood Heights facility is certified to ISO 13485:2003 standards for medical products. ISO 13485 is an internationally recognized quality management system standard adopted by over 90 countries. The ISO 13485 certification also allows us to qualify for CE Mark certification. With the CE Mark certification, we are able to market qualified products throughout the European Union and in other countries where CE Mark certification and ISO 13485 certification are recognized.
Products manufactured at our facility in Tennessee are subject to our own internal quality system which mimics the quality system implemented at our facility in Utah. While we have not sought ISO certification for the Tennessee facility, we believe our quality system is rigorous and adequate for producing the type of quality product to which our customers have become accustomed.

Research and Development
Total research and development (“R&D”) expenses in fiscal year 2013 were $1,120,887, compared to $1,410,406 in fiscal year 2012. The decrease in R&D expenditures in fiscal year 2013 reflects the completion of the development work on the Dynatron SolarisPlus product line. The Dynatron SolarisPlus product line was introduced in August 2012. The new 25 Series product line, which began shipping in June 2013, was developed from the SolarisPlus platform and therefore required a less intensive R&D effort. R&D expenses represented approximately 3.8% and 4.5% of our net sales in fiscal years 2013 and 2012, respectively. Going forward, R&D expenditures are expected to remain near current levels in fiscal year 2014.
Regulatory Matters
The manufacture, packaging, labeling, advertising, promotion, distribution and sale of our products are subject to regulation by numerous national and local governmental agencies in the United States and other countries. In the United States, the FDA regulates our products pursuant to the Medical Device Amendment of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, or FDC Act, and regulations promulgated thereunder. Advertising and other forms of promotion and methods of marketing of the products are subject to regulation by the Federal Trade Commission, or FTC, under the Federal Trade Commission Act.
As a device manufacturer, we are required to register with the FDA and once registered we are subject to inspection for compliance with the FDA’s Quality Systems regulations. These regulations require us to manufacture our products and maintain our documents in a prescribed manner with respect to manufacturing, testing, and control activities. Further, we are required to comply with various FDA requirements for reporting. The FDC Act and medical device reporting regulations require us to provide information to the FDA on deaths or serious injuries alleged to have been caused or contributed to by the use of our products, as well as product malfunctions that would likely cause or contribute to death or serious injury if the malfunction were to occur. The FDA also prohibits an approved device from being marketed for unapproved uses. All of our therapeutic and aesthetic treatment devices as currently designed are cleared for marketing under section 510(k) of the Medical Device Amendment to the FDC Act or are considered 510(k) exempt. If a device is subject to section 510(k) approval requirements, the FDA must receive premarket notification from the manufacturer of its intent to market the device. The FDA must find that the device is substantially equivalent to a legally marketed predicate device before the agency will clear the new device for marketing. We intend to continuously improve our products after they have been introduced to the market. Certain modifications to our marketed devices may require a premarket notification and clearance under section 510(k) before the changed device may be marketed, if the change or modification could significantly affect safety or effectiveness. As appropriate, we may therefore submit future 510(k) notifications, Pre-Market Approval (“PMA”) or PMA supplement applications to the FDA. No assurance can be given that clearance or approval of such new applications will be granted by the FDA on a timely basis, or at all. Furthermore, we may be required to submit extensive preclinical and clinical data depending on the nature of the product changes. All of our devices, unless specifically exempted by regulation, are subject to the FDC Act’s general controls, which include, among other things, registration and listing, adherence to the Quality System Regulation requirements for manufacturing, medical device reporting and the potential for voluntary and mandatory recalls described above.
The passage in 2010 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (“PPACA”) and the Health Care and Educational Reconciliation Act will affect our future operations. The addition of millions to the rolls of the insured is expected to increase demand for services. That increased demand could lead to increased sales of our products starting in 2015. The magnitude of those increases is difficult to assess at this time. A negative impact of this legislation as enacted is its imposition of an excise tax on all manufacturers and importers of medical devices. An excise tax is assessed against sales, not profits. Therefore, even in a year when we may have no profits, such as this year, we were required to pay the excise tax to the federal government. On December 7, 2012, the Internal Revenue Service published the interim final rules governing the payment of this tax which became effective January 1, 2013 and applies to all manufactured or imported medical devices. About half of our product sales are not subject to the tax because they are not manufactured or imported by us, but rather distributed on behalf of other manufacturers or importers. Furthermore, included in the interim final rules were certain exemptions available for products identified as generally available to the public and requiring little or no involvement of a medical practitioner to use effectively. Specifically, the rule singles out a section of medical devices identified in the Code of Federal Regulations that covers rehabilitation products. Many of the products we manufacture or import are in this category. Therefore, we believe less than a third of our sales will be subject to the tax. As a result, we now estimate that this tax will be in the range of $100,000 - $200,000 annually based on current sales levels. Indeed, this year we paid $81,736 in excise taxes for only half of the year. Because of the phase-in of various provisions of federal healthcare reform and other possible legislative actions, we cannot predict what the full effects of this legislation will be on our business and industry. This new tax impacted the Company beginning on January 1, 2013 and is reported in our quarterly financial reports for March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013. In the meantime, we are taking full advantage of every opportunity presented by this legislation to increase sales and to offset any negative effects, such as the medical device tax, that may be imposed by this legislation.

The PPACA also includes new reporting and disclosure requirements for device manufacturers with regard to payments or other transfers of value made to certain healthcare providers. The first report under these provisions will be due March 31, 2014 and will relate to payments or other transfers of value made between August 1 and December 31, 2013. Thereafter, annual reports due in March will relate to payments or other transfers of value during the previous calendar year. Reports submitted under these new requirements will be placed in a public database. If we fail to provide these reports, or if the reports we provide are not accurate, we could be subject to significant penalties. In addition, developing the necessary systems to comply with the new reporting requirement could be financially burdensome. Several states have adopted similar reporting requirements. We believe we are in compliance with the PPACA and have systems in place to assure compliance.
The FDA is currently evaluating the classification of iontophoresis products. Since the passage of the Medical Device Amendment in 1975, these products have been listed as Class III products. However, the FDA has never required these products be subjected to a Pre-Market Approval (“PMA”) process like other Class III devices. Instead, it has allowed iontophoresis products to proceed to market as though they were Class II. Four years ago, FDA indicated they intend to make a final decision to either call for a PMA for iontophoresis products or reclassify them to Class II. We submitted to FDA the required information to allow continued marketing of our proprietary iontophoresis products until the final FDA decision is made. In our submission we urged that the products be reclassified to Class II. If the FDA does not change the classification of iontophoresis products and requires a PMA, we will be required to provide a PMA or, in the alternative, cease distributing our proprietary line and distribute competitor products that comply with the FDA requirements, which would not have a material impact on the Company’s financial results.
During fiscal year 2003, Congress enacted the Medical Device User Fee and Modernization Act (MDUFMA). Among other things, this act imposes for the first time a user fee on medical device manufacturers. Under the provisions of MDUFMA and its subsequent re-authorizations, manufacturers seeking clearance to market a new device must pay a fee to the FDA in order to have their applications reviewed. We submit new products for clearance primarily under section 510(k) of the Medical Device Amendment of the FDC Act. Renewal of MDUFMA was passed this year setting fees for the next five years that are cumulatively double what they have been the prior five years. However, the increase is not considered to have a material effect on operations.
Failure to comply with applicable FDA regulatory requirements may result in, among other things, injunctions, product withdrawals, recalls, product seizures, fines, and criminal prosecutions. Any such action by the FDA could materially adversely affect our ability to successfully market our products. Our Utah and Tennessee facilities are inspected periodically by the FDA for compliance with the FDA’s GMP and other requirements, including appropriate reporting regulations and various requirements for labeling and promotion. The FDA Quality Systems Regulations are similar to the ISO 13485 Quality Standard. The GMP regulation requires, among other things, that (i) the manufacturing process be regulated and controlled by the use of written procedures, and (ii) the ability to produce devices that meet the manufacturer’s specifications be validated by extensive and detailed testing of every aspect of the process.
Advertising of our products is subject to regulation by the FTC under the FTC Act. Section 5 of the FTC Act prohibits unfair methods of competition and unfair or deceptive acts or practices in or affecting commerce. Section 12 of the FTC Act provides that the dissemination or the causing to be disseminated of any false advertisement pertaining to, among other things, drugs, cosmetics, devices or foods, is an unfair or deceptive act or practice. Pursuant to this FTC requirement, we are required to have adequate substantiation for all advertising claims made about our products. The type of substantiation required depends upon the product claims made.
If the FTC has reason to believe the law is being violated (e.g., the manufacturer or distributor does not possess adequate substantiation for product claims), it can initiate an enforcement action. The FTC has a variety of processes and remedies available to it for enforcement, both administratively and judicially, including compulsory process authority, cease and desist orders, and injunctions. FTC enforcement could result in orders requiring, among other things, limits on advertising, consumer redress, divestiture of assets, rescission of contracts, and such other relief as may be deemed necessary. Violation of such orders could result in substantial financial or other penalties. Any such action by the FTC could materially adversely affect the Company’s ability to successfully market its products.

From time to time, legislation is introduced in the Congress of the United States or in state legislatures that could significantly change the statutory provisions governing the approval, manufacturing, and marketing of medical devices and products like those we manufacture. In addition, FDA regulations and guidance are often revised or reinterpreted by the agency in ways that may significantly affect our business and our products. It is impossible to predict whether legislative changes will be enacted, or FDA regulations, guidance, or interpretations will be changed, and what the impact of such changes, if any, may be on our business and our results of operations. We cannot predict the nature of any future laws, regulations, interpretations, or applications, nor can we determine what effect additional governmental regulations or administrative orders, when and if promulgated, domestically or internationally, would have on our business in the future. They could include, however, the requirement for the reformulation of certain products to meet new standards, the recall or discontinuance of certain products, additional record keeping, expanded documentation of the properties of certain products, expanded or different labeling, and additional scientific substantiation. Any or all such requirements could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.
In addition to compliance with FDA rules and regulations, we are also required to comply with international regulatory laws including Health Canada, CE Mark, or other regulatory schemes used by other countries. We believe all of our present products are in compliance in all material respects with all applicable performance standards in countries where the products are sold. We also believe that our products comply with GMP, record keeping and reporting requirements in the production and distribution of the products in the United States.
Environment
Environmental regulations and the cost of compliance with them are not material to our business. We do not discharge into the environment any pollutants that are regulated by a governmental agency with the exception of the requirement to provide proper filtering of discharges into the air from the painting processes at our Tennessee location.
Seasonality
We believe that the effect of seasonality on the results of our operations is not material.
Backlog
We had a backlog of orders of approximately $633,000 as of June 30, 2013, compared to approximately $371,000 as of June 30, 2012.
Employees
On June 30, 2013, we had a total of 135 full-time employees and 9 part-time employees, compared to 138 full-time employees and 14 part-time employees on June 30, 2012.
Item 2. Properties
Our corporate headquarters and principal executive offices are located at 7030 Park Centre Drive, Cottonwood Heights, Utah. Cottonwood Heights is a suburb of Salt Lake City, Utah. The headquarters consist of a single facility housing administrative offices and manufacturing space totaling approximately 36,000 square feet. We own the land and building, subject to mortgages requiring a monthly payment of approximately $17,000. The mortgage matures in 2017. We also own a 53,200 sq. ft. manufacturing facility with accompanying undeveloped acreage for future expansion in Chattanooga, Tennessee, subject to a mortgage requiring monthly payments of approximately $13,000 and maturing in 2021. In addition, we rent office and warehouse space in Livermore, California; Stafford, Texas; Chesterfield, Michigan; Minneapolis, Minnesota; and Boardman, Ohio.
We believe the facilities described above are adequate and able to accommodate our presently expected growth and operating needs. As our business continues to grow, additional facilities or the expansion of existing facilities may be required.
We own equipment used in the manufacture and assembly of our products. The nature of this equipment is not specialized and replacements may be readily obtained from any of a number of suppliers. In addition, we own computer equipment and engineering and design equipment used in research and development programs.

Purchases of Equity Securities
On July 15, 2003, our board of directors approved an open-market share repurchase program for up to $500,000 of our common stock. On November 27, 2007, the board approved an additional $250,000 for the open-market share repurchase program after the original $500,000 was used. In February 2011, the board approved an additional $1,000,000 for repurchases under the program. During fiscal year 2010, the board authorized the repurchase of up to $100,000 of stock annually for three years from each of two former distributors that were acquired by the Company in 2007. During the year ended June 30, 2013, we purchased 32,786 shares of common stock for $99,997. During the year ended June 30, 2012, we purchased 79,857 shares of common stock for $401,408. No purchases of common stock were made during the quarter ended June 30, 2013.
Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes to those consolidated financial statements, included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition to historical information, this discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations.
Overview
Our principal business is the distribution and marketing of physical medicine products and aesthetic products, many of which we design and manufacture. We offer a broad line of medical equipment including therapy devices, medical supplies and soft goods, treatment tables and rehabilitation equipment. Our line of aesthetic equipment includes aesthetic massage and microdermabrasion devices, as well as skin care products. Our products are sold to and used primarily by physical therapists, chiropractors, sports medicine practitioners, podiatrists, plastic surgeons, dermatologists, aestheticians and other aesthetic services providers. Our fiscal year ends on June 30. Reference to fiscal year 2013 refers to the year ended June 30, 2013.
Results of Operations
Fiscal Year 2013 Compared to Fiscal Year 2012
Net Sales
Net sales in fiscal year 2013 were $29,538,275 compared to $31,664,181 in fiscal year 2012. The $2,125,906 decrease is characterized by sales reductions evenly split between supplies and capital equipment distributed for other manufacturers. Consolidated sales of proprietary manufactured products actually increased over the prior year with more significant gains in sales of the new Dynatron Solaris Plus family of products offsetting lower sales of other proprietary manufactured products. The decline in sales of products distributed for other manufacturers is attributable to several factors. Approximately 20% of the reduced sales are due to a single manufacturer that changed their distribution paradigm negatively impacting our sales of their products. The continued general economic weakness in our primary markets combined with uncertainties over anticipation of negative market impacts related to provisions of the Affordable Care Act also contributed to lower sales, particularly of capital equipment. The reductions in sales of distributed medical supplies during the year include the impact of a single large customer that discontinued operations in early 2012.
12
Sales of proprietary manufactured physical medicine products represented approximately 46% and 42% of total physical medicine product sales in fiscal years 2013 and 2012, respectively. Distribution of products manufactured by other suppliers accounted for the balance of our physical medicine product sales in those years. Sales of manufactured aesthetic products in fiscal years 2013 and 2012, represented approximately 78% and 73% of total aesthetic product sales, respectively, with distributed products making up the balance.
The majority of our sales revenues come from the sale of physical medicine products, both manufactured and distributed. In fiscal years 2013 and 2012, sales of physical medicine products accounted for 91% of total sales in both years. Chargeable repairs, billable freight revenue, aesthetic product sales and other miscellaneous revenue accounted for approximately 9% of total revenues in both years.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, we introduced more new proprietary manufactured products than at any other time in our history. However, the full impact of these new products will not likely be seen until the next fiscal year. They do provide a strong foundation for a strategy to reverse the trend of declining sales experienced this past fiscal year.
Gross Profit
Gross profit totaled $11,086,602, or 37.5% of net sales, in fiscal year 2013, compared to $11,943,233, or 37.7% of net sales, in fiscal year 2012. The decrease in gross profit during the year directly reflects lower sales generated during the current fiscal year as reported above. Lower sales and margins of distributed capital equipment and certain medical supplies were partially offset by higher sales and margins from the new SolarisPlus and Quad7 products. Overall, gross margin as a percent of sales, remained virtually unchanged. The implementation of the Medical Device Tax on January 1, 2013, as required by the Affordable Care Act placed a 2.3% tax on sales of proprietary manufactured products and products imported by us for distribution in the United States. This tax had the effect of lowering gross profits during the year as it effectively increased the cost of goods sold on all items taxed. During the fiscal year we paid $81,736 in medical device taxes.
Management believes that as market demand for our proprietary manufactured products increases in conjunction with the introduction of our new ThermoStim Probe in the quarter ending December 31, 2013, sales growth will resume and, as a result, gross profit will improve. In addition, as healthcare reform progresses, we expect uncertainty in our market to diminish, confidence to increase and demand for our products to begin to strengthen.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, General and Administrative, or SG&A expenses were $9,860,964, or 33.4% of net sales, in fiscal year 2013, compared to $10,506,460, or 33.2% of net sales, in fiscal year 2012. The $645,496 decrease in SG&A expenses in fiscal year 2013 as compared to 2012 is a result of the following:
·
|
$396,178 of lower selling expenses due primarily to lower sales commissions;
|
·
|
$154,872 of lower labor and overhead costs;
|
·
|
$94,446 of lower general expenses primarily related to a reduction in professional fees.
|
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2014, management identified over $500,000 of new annual cost reductions which are being implemented to further reduce labor and overhead costs and improve operating efficiencies in future periods.
Research and Development
Over the last three years, we have undertaken the most extensive research and development (“R&D”) effort in our history. More new products have been introduced during this period of time than any period since our formation. These new products include the Quad7 thermal therapy device, the Dynatron SolarisPlus line of four electrotherapy/ultrasound devices enabled to power two phototherapy accessories, the Ultra 2 and Ultra 3 treatment tables, and the 25 Series line of four therapy devices. With the completion of development of the Quad7, Ultra tables and SolarisPlus product line, we were able to reduce research and development (“R&D”) expense during the early part of fiscal year 2013 to more normal levels. R&D expenses for 2013 were $1,120,887 compared to $1,410,406 in 2012. R&D expense decreased as a percentage of net sales in fiscal year 2013 to 3.8% from 4.5% of net sales in fiscal year 2012. R&D expenses are expected to increase slightly in fiscal year 2014, as a result of the introduction of the new ThermoStim Probe. However, those increases will mostly be incurred in the first two quarters of the next fiscal year. R&D costs are expensed as incurred.
13
Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased by $1,294, to $260,699 in fiscal year 2013 compared to $261,993 in fiscal year 2012 due to lower balances on our long-term debt compared to fiscal year 2012. During fiscal 2013, we paid off the first mortgage on our Cottonwood Heights facility.
Loss Before Income Tax Benefit
Pre-tax loss in fiscal year 2013 was $131,125, compared to $190,241 in fiscal year 2012, an improvement of 31%. The decrease in pre-tax loss for 2013 resulted from lower selling, labor, and R&D expenses. More specifically, an $856,631 reduction in gross margin was offset by reducing SG&A and R&D expenses by $935,015 for the year ended June 30, 2013. It should be noted that during the year we paid $81,736 in medical device taxes as required by the Affordable Care Act. This Medical Device Tax is assessed on sales regardless of profitability. Therefore, despite the fact we did not generate an operating profit we were still required to pay these excise taxes as noted above which contributed to the losses incurred during the fiscal year. As noted above, we have taken steps to reduce expenses at an annualized amount of approximately $500,000 during fiscal year 2014.
Income Tax Benefit
Income tax benefit was $86,754 in fiscal year 2013, compared to $166,706 in fiscal year 2012. Due to tax benefits associated with R&D tax credits and other credits, the effective income tax benefit rate in fiscal year 2013 was 66.2% compared to an effective tax benefit rate of 87.6% in 2012. The difference in the effective tax rates is attributable to lower R&D tax credits in fiscal year 2013, as well as certain permanent book to tax differences.
Net Loss
Net loss was $44,371 ($.02 per share) in fiscal year 2013, compared to $23,535 ($.01 per share) in fiscal year 2012. As reported in the section above entitled Loss Before Income Tax Benefit, operating losses were reduced by nearly one third in fiscal year 2013 compared to fiscal year 2012. Therefore, the reason net loss increased from $23,535 last year to $44,371 this year is due to higher income tax benefits last year associated with higher R&D tax credits compared to this year. We expect improved profitability in fiscal year 2014 due to the planned introduction of an important new product in the quarter ending December 31, 2013 and with our planned expense reductions which are scheduled to be implemented during the fiscal year 2014.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have financed operations through available cash reserves and borrowings under a line of credit with a bank. Working capital was $3,516,011 as of June 30, 2013, inclusive of the current portion of long-term obligations and credit facilities, compared to working capital of $3,565,858 as of June 30, 2012. During fiscal year 2013, we generated $643,106 in cash from operating activities, used $418,386 to pay down principal on long-term debt, paid $100,438 for capital expenditures primarily related to improving our e-commerce and IT infrastructure, and paid $99,997 to repurchase and retire common stock.
Accounts Receivable
Trade accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, decreased $420,374, or 11.5%, to $3,246,712 as of June 30, 2013, compared to $3,667,086 as of June 30, 2012. Trade accounts receivable represent amounts due from our dealer network as well as from medical practitioners and clinics. We believe that our estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate based on our historical knowledge and relationship with our customers. Accounts receivable are generally collected within 30 days of the agreed terms.
14
Inventories
Inventories, net of reserves, increased $308,956, or 5.1%, to $6,407,553 as of June 30, 2013, compared to $6,098,597 as of June 30, 2012. During fiscal year 2013, we increased our inventory of parts in conjunction with the introduction of the Dynatron SolarisPlus product line, Ultra Tables product line and the 25 Series product line. In addition, inventory levels fluctuate based on the timing of large inventory purchases from overseas suppliers.
Accounts Payable
Accounts payable increased $338,693, or 14.0%, to $2,751,894 as of June 30, 2013, from $2,413,201 as of June 30, 2012. The increase in accounts payable is a result of increased inventories, the timing of our weekly payments to suppliers and the timing of purchases of product components. Accounts payable are generally not aged beyond the terms of our suppliers. We take advantage of available early payment discounts when offered by our vendors.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Our cash position as of June 30, 2013 was $302,050, compared to cash of $278,263 as of June 30, 2012. We expect that cash flows from operating activities, together with amounts available through an existing line-of-credit facility, will be sufficient to cover operating needs in the ordinary course of business for the next twelve months. If we experience an adverse operating environment, including a further worsening of the general economy in the United States, or unusual capital expenditure requirements, additional financing may be required. However, no assurance can be given that additional financing, if required, would be available on terms favorable to us, or at all.
Line of Credit
During fiscal year 2013, the outstanding balance on our line of credit remained steady with a balance outstanding of $3,496,390 as of June 30, 2013, compared to $3,497,597 as of June 30, 2012. Interest on the line of credit is based on the 90-day LIBOR rate (0.27% as of June 30, 2013) plus 3.5%. The line of credit is collateralized by accounts receivable and inventories. Borrowing limitations are based on approximately 45% of eligible inventory and up to 80% of eligible accounts receivable, up to a maximum credit facility of $7,000,000. Interest payments on the line are due monthly. As of June 30, 2013, the borrowing base was approximately $4,821,000, resulting in approximately $1,325,000 available on the line. The line of credit is renewable on December 15, 2013 and includes covenants requiring us to maintain certain financial ratios. As of June 30, 2013, we were in compliance with the loan covenants or had received waivers of compliance. If the line of credit is not extended, we will need to find additional sources of financing. Failure to obtain additional financing would have a material adverse effect on our business operations. All borrowings under the line of credit are presented as current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
The current ratio remained constant at 1.5 to 1 as of June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012. Current assets represented 72% of total assets as of June 30, 2013 compared to 70% as of June 30, 2012.
Debt
Long-term debt (excluding current installments) totaled $1,561,776 as of June 30, 2013, compared to $1,916,315 as of June 30, 2012. Long-term debt is comprised primarily of the mortgage loans on our office and manufacturing facilities in Utah and Tennessee. The principal balance on the mortgage loans is approximately $1,762,255 with monthly principal and interest payments of $30,263. For a more complete explanation of the long-term debt, see Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements.
Critical Accounting Policies
Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of our assets, liabilities, net sales and expenses. Management bases estimates on historical experience and other assumptions it believes to be reasonable given the circumstances and evaluates these estimates on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
We believe that the following critical accounting policies involve a high degree of judgment and complexity. See Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements for fiscal year 2013, for a complete discussion of our significant accounting policies. The following summary sets forth information regarding significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
15
Inventory Reserves
The nature of our business requires that we maintain sufficient inventory on hand at all times to meet the requirements of our customers. We record finished goods inventory at the lower of standard cost, which approximates actual cost (first-in, first-out) or market. Raw materials are recorded at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. Inventory valuation reserves are maintained for the estimated impairment of the inventory. Impairment may be a result of slow-moving or excess inventory, product obsolescence or changes in the valuation of the inventory. In determining the adequacy of reserves, we analyze the following, among other things:
·
|
Current inventory quantities on hand;
|
·
|
Product acceptance in the marketplace;
|
·
|
Customer demand;
|
·
|
Historical sales;
|
·
|
Forecast sales;
|
·
|
Product obsolescence;
|
·
|
Technological innovations; and
|
·
|
Character of the inventory as a distributed item, finished manufactured item or raw material.
|
Any modifications to estimates of inventory valuation reserves are reflected in cost of goods sold within the statements of operations during the period in which such modifications are determined necessary by management. As of June 30, 2013 and 2012, our inventory valuation reserve balance, which established a new cost basis, was $327,519 and $292,999, respectively, and our inventory balance was $6,407,553 and $6,098,597, net of reserves, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
Our sales force and distributors sell our products to end users, including physical therapists, professional trainers, athletic trainers, chiropractors, medical doctors and aestheticians. Sales revenues are recorded when products are shipped FOB shipping point under an agreement with a customer, risk of loss and title have passed to the customer, and collection of any resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Amounts billed for shipping and handling of products are recorded as sales revenue. Costs for shipping and handling of products to customers are recorded as cost of sales.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
We must make estimates of the collectability of accounts receivable. In doing so, we analyze historical bad debt trends, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. Our accounts receivable balance was $3,246,712 and $3,667,086, net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $247,708 and $201,349, as of June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Deferred Income Tax Assets
In assessing the deferred income tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the years in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred income tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods which the deferred income tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not that we will realize the benefits of these deductible differences.
We have available at June 30, 2013 and 2012 federal and state net operating loss (“NOL”) carry forwards of $499,614 and $558,062, respectively. The federal NOLs will expire in 2028. The state NOLs will expire depending upon the various rules in the states in which we operate. Our federal and state income tax returns for June 30, 2010, 2011, and 2012 are open tax years.
16
Business Plan and Outlook
During the past three years, we have focused much of our resources and energy on developing new and innovative products. The scope of that R&D effort has been more significant than at any time in our history. As a result, we have introduced several important new products over the past year.
In June 2013, we began shipping our new Dynatron® 25 Series electrotherapy/ultrasound line of combination therapy devices. This new line consists of four separate devices: the Dynatron 925, Dynatron 825, Dynatron 625 and Dynatron 525. These four units provide seven different types of electrotherapy treatments and three frequencies of ultrasound, including our proprietary three-frequency ultrasound transducers. They are capable of delivering between three and five separate treatments simultaneously, depending on the model. The ability to provide multiple treatments simultaneously is expected to be very helpful in busy clinics and training rooms, or for patients needing treatment of multiple areas of the body. This new product line was specially designed to be sold through our expanding channel of general line distributors.
In December 2012, we introduced a new line of motorized treatment tables. The Ultra 2 and Ultra 3 are the first two of possibly several other future treatment tables manufactured for us by Enraf-Nonius, a well-established manufacturer of physical therapy products in Europe. These tables offer features popular to the practitioner such as full-length foot bars that elevate and lower the table height together with a unique wheel raising system that lifts the table allowing an easy change between mobility and stability. Enraf tables are known for their high quality standards and are competitively priced for the US market.
In August 2012, we introduced to the market our new Dynatron SolarisPlus line of electrotherapy/ultrasound/ phototherapy units. This new product line consists of four new units: the Dynatron SolarisPlus 709, 708, 706, and 705. These attractive new units provide our most advanced technology in combination therapy devices by adding phototherapy capabilities to enhanced electrotherapy and ultrasound combination devices. The Dynatron SolarisPlus line of products features a Tri-Wave phototherapy probe and a Tri-Wave phototherapy pad. Tri-wave phototherapy features infrared, red and blue wavelength light. The new Dynatron Solaris Tri-Wave phototherapy pad is capable of treating large areas of the body via unattended infrared, red and blue wavelength phototherapy. The Tri-Wave phototherapy probe allows the practitioner to treat specific, targeted areas of the body in an attended treatment. As part of the SolarisPlus product line, we also introduced a new display cart specifically designed for these units. The SolarisPlus line is expected to quickly become popular for its power and versatility. The new units are capable of simultaneously powering five electrotherapy channels, ultrasound therapy, a phototherapy probe and phototherapy pad. No other device on the market offers such powerful simultaneous combination therapies.
In the quarter ended December 31, 2013, we anticipate introducing the ThermoStim probe - one of the most innovative and revolutionary products in our history. The ThermoStim probe will offer the ability to do thermal therapy (hot and cold) and/or electrotherapy in a targeted, attended treatment. The hand held probe is an accessory to the Dynatron SolarisPlus family of products. Unlike its predecessor, also called the ThermoStim probe, this new probe does not require a water source to heat and cool the surface of the treatment face. Instead, a thermoelectric chip powers the thermal therapy controlled by the Dynatron SolarisPlus console. This innovative probe is expected to generate significant demand not only for the probe, but also for the new SolarisPlus units which serve as the control console for the probe. It will be the catalyst to boost sales and attract new distributors beginning midway through fiscal year 2014.
With most of the planned new products now released, R&D costs cycled back to a lower level more in line with historical amounts during fiscal year 2013. Those R&D costs are expected to rise again during the first part of fiscal year 2014 as the new ThermoStim Probe is finalized. Management is confident the investments made in R&D will yield long-term benefits and are important to assuring that we maintain our reputation in the industry for being an innovator and leader in product development.
In April 2013, we began shipping the newly updated version of our product catalog to customers. This new catalog not only includes our new proprietary products previously discussed, but also expands our offering of non-proprietary products by hundreds of items in order to better service the broader needs of our customers. It also provides an excellent new sales tool for all of our sales representatives in the field and the foundation for expanding our e-commerce platform. The new catalog includes an online electronic version of the catalog that is incorporated into our e-commerce website. The new catalog has been praised for its clarity and ease of use.
Over the past few years, consolidations in our market have changed the landscape of our industry’s distribution channels. At the present time, we believe that there remain only two companies with a national direct sales force selling proprietary and distributed products: Dynatronics and Patterson Medical. All other distribution in our market is directed through catalog companies with a limited direct sales force, or through independent local dealers that have limited geographical reach. In the past year, we have reinforced our direct sales team that includes over 50 direct sales employees and independent sales representatives. In addition to these direct sales representatives, we continue to enjoy a strong relationship with scores of independent dealers. We believe we have the best trained and most knowledgeable sales force in the industry. We are actively seeking to expand our market penetration through increased distribution. To accomplish this, we have, for the first time in our history, made available to all distributors and qualified sales persons, a family of proprietary combination therapy devices, the Dynatron 25 Series. The availability of these products is attracting new distributors and sales persons. In addition, where these sales persons have had limited or no access to premier lines like the Dynatron SolarisPlus products, they will now be able to access these products in certain geographical areas through the authorized sales representative or dealer who has the rights to the products in those territories. Making these products more widely available will increase our ability to expand distribution of not only our own proprietary products, but also those we distribute on behalf of other manufacturers. This strategic expansion of distribution will begin to hit stride as the new ThermoStim product is released in the second fiscal quarter of 2014.
17
Pursuit of national accounts, including Group Purchasing Organizations (GPO) continues to be a strategic endeavor. However, securing such accounts has proven to be elusive as entrenched suppliers seem to dominate many of the large GPO accounts. As a result, we have turned our attention more toward accessible national and regional accounts where we can more easily prove our value proposition. While we have not abandoned efforts to secure GPO and large national account business, we have become more strategic in our approach to such business. Last year we were successful in qualifying to be an approved vendor to the federal government, including the Veterans Administration hospitals and medical facilities associated with military installations. These types of contracts are strategically more accessible for us than GPO business.
Economic pressures from the recent recession in the United States have affected available credit that would facilitate large capital purchases, and have also reduced demand for discretionary services such as those provided by the purchasers of our aesthetic products. As a result, we reduced our expenses in the Synergie department. We believe that our aesthetic devices remain the best value on the market and we are seeking innovative ways to market these products, including strategic partnerships, both domestic and international, to help enhance sales momentum.
We have long believed that international markets present an untapped potential for growth and expansion. Adding new distributors in several countries will be the key to this expansion effort. We remain committed to finding the most effective ways to expand our markets internationally. Over the coming year, our efforts will be focused on partnering with key manufacturers and distributors interested in our product line or technology. Our Utah facility, where all electrotherapy, ultrasound, traction, phototherapy and Synergie products are manufactured, is certified to ISO 13485:2003, an internationally recognized standard of excellence in medical device manufacturing. This designation is an important requirement in obtaining the CE Mark certification, which allows us to market our products in the European Union and in other international locations. The introduction of several important new products has generated new interest on the part of some foreign distributors in Asia, Europe and South America. As we secure CE Mark Certification for our products we will be better able to explore the interest of these distributors. Refining our business model for supporting sales representatives and distributors will also be a focal point of operations. We will continue to evaluate the most efficient ways to maintain our satellite sales offices and warehouses. The ongoing refinement of this model is expected to yield further efficiencies that will better achieve sales goals while, at the same time, reduce expenses.
Our efforts to prudently reduce costs in the face of some economic uncertainty have made us a leaner operation. During fiscal year 2013 we implemented almost $1,000,000 in expense reductions. So far in fiscal 2014 we have identified another $500,000 annually in cost savings that have been or will be implemented to reduce expenses. We will continue to be vigilant in maintaining appropriate overhead costs and operating costs while still providing support for anticipated increases in sales from our new products.
Based on our defined strategic initiatives, we are focusing our resources in the following areas:
18
·
|
Increasing market share of manufactured capital products by promoting sales of our new state-of-the-art Dynatron SolarisPlus and 25 Series products.
|
·
|
Introducing additional new products such as the ThermoStim Probe to better capitalize on opportunities in our core markets.
|
·
|
Seeking to improve distribution of our products through recruitment of additional qualified sales representatives and dealers attracted by the many new products being offered and expanding the availability of proprietary combination therapy devices.
|
·
|
Increasing market share with our new 2013-14 product catalog featuring a broader product offering.
|
·
|
Continue to seek ways of increasing business with GPOs, as well as through GSA contracts with the U.S. Government and to national and regional accounts.
|
·
|
Improving operational efficiencies by scaling costs to be reflective of current levels of sales. Strengthening pricing management and procurement methodologies.
|
·
|
Minimizing expense associated in the Synergie department until demand for capital equipment re-emerges, and, in the meantime, seeking additional independent distributors and strategic partnerships.
|
·
|
Focusing international sales efforts on identifying key distributors and strategic partners who could represent the Company’s product line, particularly in Europe and China.
|
·
|
Exploring strategic business alliances that will leverage and complement our competitive strengths, increase market reach and supplement capital resources.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness, as of June 30, 2013, of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”). The purpose of this evaluation was to determine whether as of the evaluation date our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information we are required to disclose in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on their evaluation, our management has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2013.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2013. In conducting the evaluation, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or COSO, in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (the COSO criteria). Based on our evaluation under the COSO criteria, our management concluded that our controls over financial reporting as of June 30, 2013 were not operating effectively due to a lack of documentation regarding information system controls. This was not deemed to be a material weakness and management is taking steps to provide appropriate documentation of its information systems controls to cure the deficiency.
19
This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitation on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls
The effectiveness of any system of internal control over financial reporting, including ours, is subject to inherent limitations, including the exercise of judgment in designing, implementing, operating, and evaluating the controls and procedures, and the inability to completely eliminate misconduct. Accordingly, any system of internal control over financial reporting, including ours, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable, not absolute assurance. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. We intend to continue to monitor and upgrade our internal controls as necessary or appropriate for our business, but cannot assure you that such improvements will be sufficient to provide us with effective internal control over financial reporting.
SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock (“Reporting Persons”) to file initial reports of ownership and to report changes in ownership in reports filed with the SEC. Reporting Persons are required by regulation of the SEC to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.
Based solely on review of the copies of the Forms 3, 4 and 5 (and amendments thereto) furnished to us during and with respect to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, we believe that during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 all Section 16(a) filings applicable to these Reporting Persons were timely filed with the exception of a Form 5 for each of the three independent directors (Val Christensen, Howard Edwards and Joseph Barton) related to the grant to each of them of 563 shares of restricted stock for their service on the board. These filings were made on July 8, 2013 and were untimely due to a clerical error.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Dynatronics Corporation
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Dynatronics Corporation and subsidiary (collectively, the Company) as of June 30, 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Dynatronics Corporation and subsidiary as of June 30, 2013, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Dynatronics Corporation
We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of Dynatronics Corporation and subsidiary (collectively, the Company) as of June 30, 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Dynatronics Corporation and subsidiary as of June 30, 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

DYNATRONICS CORPORATION
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2013 and 2012
(1)
|
Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
|
|
(a)
|
Description of Business
|
Dynatronics Corporation (the Company), a Utah corporation, distributes and markets a broad line of medical and aesthetic products, many of which are designed and manufactured by the Company. Among the products offered by the Company are therapeutic, diagnostic, and rehabilitation equipment, medical supplies and soft goods, treatment tables and aesthetic medical devices to an expanding market of physical therapists, podiatrists, orthopedists, chiropractors, plastic surgeons, dermatologists, and other medical professionals.
|
(b)
|
Principles of Consolidation
|
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of Dynatronics Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, Dynatronics Distribution Company, LLC. All significant intercompany account balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
|
(c)
|
Cash Equivalents
|
Cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase. Also included within cash equivalents are deposits in-transit from banks for payments related to third-party credit card and debit card transactions.
|
(d)
|
Inventories
|
Finished goods inventories are stated at the lower of standard cost (first-in, first-out method), which approximates actual cost, or market. Raw materials are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. The Company periodically reviews the value of items in inventory and provides write-downs or write-offs of inventory based on its assessment of slow moving or obsolete inventory. Write-downs and write-offs are charged against the reserve.
|
(e)
|
Trade Accounts Receivable
|
Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest, although a finance charge may be applied to such receivables that are past due. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable. The Company determines the allowance based on a combination of statistical analysis, historical collections, customers’ current credit worthiness, the age of the receivable balance both individually and in the aggregate and general economic conditions that may affect the customer’s ability to pay. All account balances are reviewed on an individual basis. Account balances are charged off against the allowance when the potential for recovery is considered remote. Recoveries of receivables previously charged off are recognized when payment is received.
|
(f)
|
Property and Equipment
|
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The building and its component parts are being depreciated over their estimated useful lives that range from 5 to 31.5 years. Estimated lives for all other depreciable assets range from 3 to 7 years.
F - 7
|
(g)
|
Long-Lived Assets
|
Long–lived assets, such as property and equipment, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of are separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated.
|
(h)
|
Intangible Assets
|
Costs associated with the acquisition of trademarks, trade names, license rights and non-compete agreements are capitalized and amortized using the straight-line method over periods ranging from 3 months to 15 years.
|
(i)
|
Revenue Recognition
|
The Company recognizes revenue when products are shipped FOB shipping point under an agreement with a customer, risk of loss and title have passed to the customer, and collection of any resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Amounts billed for shipping and handling of products are recorded as sales revenue. Costs for shipping and handling of products to customers are recorded as cost of sales.
|
(j)
|
Research and Development Costs
|
Direct research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
|
(k)
|
Product Warranty Costs
|
Costs estimated to be incurred in connection with the Company’s product warranty programs are charged to expense as products are sold based on historical warranty rates.
|
(l)
|
Net Income (Loss) per Common Share
|
Net income (loss) per common share is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and, when appropriate, dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the year. Stock options are considered to be common stock equivalents. The computation of diluted net income (loss) per common share does not assume exercise or conversion of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect.
Basic net income (loss) per common share is the amount of net income (loss) for the year available to each weighted-average share of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is the amount of net income (loss) for the year available to each weighted-average share of common stock outstanding during the year and to each common stock equivalent outstanding during the year, unless inclusion of common stock equivalents would have an anti-dilutive effect.
On December 19, 2012, the Company completed a 1-for-5 reverse split of its common stock. All common stock share and per share information in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been adjusted to reflect retrospective application of the reverse stock split, except for par value per share and the number of authorized shares, which were not affected by the reverse stock split.
F - 8
The reconciliation between the basic and diluted weighted-average number of common shares for the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 is summarized as follows:
2013
|
2012
|
|||||||
Basic weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year
|
2,526,533 | 2,562,203 | ||||||
Weighted-average number of dilutive common stock options outstanding during the year
|
- | - | ||||||
Diluted weighted-average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the year
|
2,526,533 | 2,562,203 |
Outstanding options not included in the computation of diluted net loss per common share totaled 161,454 as of June 30, 2013. These common stock equivalents were not included in the computation because to do so would have been antidilutive.
|
(m)
|
Income Taxes
|
The Company recognizes an asset or liability for the deferred income tax consequences of all temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years when the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Accruals for uncertain tax positions are provided for in accordance with the requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 740-10, Income Taxes. Under ASC 740-10, the Company may recognize the tax benefits from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. ASC 740-10 also provides guidance on derecognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, and income tax disclosures. Judgment is required in assessing the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial statements or tax returns. Variations in the actual outcome of these future tax consequences could materially impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
The Company evaluates the need for a valuation allowance on deferred taxes on a quarterly and annual basis. This evaluation considers the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods which the deferred income tax assets are deductible. If management determines that it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the benefits of these deductible differences, a valuation allowance is recorded.
|
(n)
|
Stock-Based Compensation
|
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Stock Compensation. Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the applicable vesting period of the stock award (generally five years) using the straight-line method.
F - 9
|
(o)
|
Concentration of Risk
|
In the normal course of business, the Company provides unsecured credit to its customers. Most of the Company’s customers are involved in the medical industry. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for probable losses which, when realized, have been within the range of management’s expectations. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risks with respect to cash or cash equivalents.
As of June 30, 2013, the Company has approximately $52,000 in cash and cash equivalents in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.
|
(p)
|
Operating Segments
|
The Company operates in one line of business: the development, marketing, and distribution of a broad line of medical products for the physical therapy and aesthetics markets. As such, the Company has only one reportable operating segment.
The Company groups its sales into physical medicine products and aesthetic products. Physical medicine products made up 91% of net sales for both the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. Aesthetics products made up 1% of net sales for both the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. Chargeable repairs, billable freight and other miscellaneous revenues account for the remaining 8% of net sales for both the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.
|
(q)
|
Use of Estimates
|
Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in accordance with US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (US GAAP). Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the carrying amount of property and equipment; valuation allowances for receivables, income taxes, and inventories; accrued product warranty costs; and estimated recoverability of intangible assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
|
(r)
|
Advertising Costs
|
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense for the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was approximately $127,400 and $87,400, respectively.

Borrowing limitations are based on 45% of eligible inventory and up to 80% of eligible accounts receivable resulting in a borrowing limit of $4,821,000 as of June 30, 2013. As of June 30, 2013 and 2012, the outstanding balance was approximately $3,496,000 and $3,498,000, respectively. Available borrowings as of June 30, 2013 were $1,325,000. The line of credit is collateralized by inventory and accounts receivable and bears interest at a rate based on the lender’s 90-day LIBOR rate plus 3%. The interest rate was 3.8% and 3.5% as of June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The line of credit is renewable on December 15, 2013. If the line of credit is not extended, the Company will need to find additional sources of financing. Failure to obtain additional financing would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations. All borrowings under the line of credit are presented as current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Accrued interest is payable monthly. The Company’s revolving line of credit agreement includes covenants requiring the Company to maintain certain financial ratios. As of June 30, 2013, the Company was in compliance with the loan covenants or had received waivers of compliance.

Leases
|
The Company leases vehicles under noncancelable operating lease agreements. Lease expense for the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, was $15,076 and $7,812, respectively. Future minimum lease payments required under noncancelable operating leases that have initial or remaining lease terms in excess of one year as of 2013 are as follows: 2014, $16,106; 2015, $16,106 and 2016, $7,403.
The Company rents office, warehouse and storage space and office equipment under agreements which run one year or more in duration. The rent expense for the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $191,659 and $231,142, respectively. Future minimum rental payments required under operating leases that have a duration of one year or more as of June 30, 2013 are as follows: 2014, $138,164; 2015, $89,664; 2016, $79,689 and 2017, $49,764.
During fiscal year 2013, the office and warehouse spaces in Detroit, Michigan; Pleasanton, California; and Hopkins, Minnesota were leased on an annual/monthly basis from employees/stockholders; or entities controlled by stockholders, who were previously principals of the dealers acquired in June and July, 2007. The leases are related-party transactions with three employee/stockholders, however, management believes the lease agreements have been conducted on an arms-length basis and the terms are similar to those that would be available to other third parties. In December, 2012, the Company moved its Pleasanton operation to a new, larger location in Livermore, California and entered into a lease agreement with an unaffiliated third party. The expense associated with these related-party transactions totaled $93,300 and $156,000 for the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.

In assessing the realizability of deferred income tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the years in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred income tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods which the deferred income tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefits of these temporary differences.
The Company has available at June 30, 2013 and 2012 federal and state net operating loss (“NOL”) carry forwards of $499,614 and $558,062, respectively. The federal NOLs will expire in 2028. The state NOLs will expire depending upon the various rules in the states in which the Company operates.
The Company’s federal and state income tax returns for June 30, 2010, 2011, and 2012 are open tax years.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-07, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) – Liquidation Basis of Accounting. This update requires an entity to use the liquidation basis of accounting when liquidation is imminent. Liquidation is considered imminent if the likelihood is remote that the entity will return from liquidation and either (a) a plan for liquidation is approved or (b) a plan for liquidation is being imposed by other forces. The update also indicates that asset should be measured and presented at the expected amount of cash proceeds to be received upon liquidation. The entity should also present any assets not previously recognized but expects to sell in liquidation or use in settling liabilities (i.e. trademarks, etc.). This update is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company doesn’t expect this update to impact its financials since it does not expect liquidation to be imminent in the near future.
F - 16
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-04, Liabilities (Topic 405) – Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation is Fixed at the Reporting Date. The update requires a company to measure obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation is fixed at the reporting date as the sum of the following: 1) The amount the entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and 2) Any additional amount the entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. This update is effective retrospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013 for public companies. The Company doesn’t expect this update to impact its financials since it does not have any obligations from joint and several liability arrangements.
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) – Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The main purpose of this update is to improve the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The update requires that the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income be reported on the respective line items in net income if the amount being reclassified in its entirety to net income. For those items not reclassified in its entirety to net income, a cross-reference to other disclosures providing information about those amounts. Furthermore, information about amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income must be shown by component. This update is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012 for public companies. The Company doesn’t expect this update to impact its financials since it does not have any comprehensive income items. However, if any are noted in the future, the appropriate disclosures will be incorporated.
In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-01, Balance Sheet (Topic 210) – Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The main purpose of this update is to clarify that the disclosures regarding offsetting assets and liabilities per ASU 2011-11 apply to derivatives including embedded derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements and securities borrowing and lending transactions that are offset or subject to a master netting agreement. Other types of transactions are not impacted. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and for all interim periods within that fiscal year. The Company doesn’t expect this update to impact the Company’s financials since it does not have instruments noted in the update that are offset.
In October 2012, the FASB issued ASU No 2012-04, Technical Corrections and Improvements. This update makes technical corrections, clarifications, and limited-scope improvements to various topics throughout the Financial Accounting Standards Board Codification. The changes clarify the Codification or correct unintended application of guidance and are not expected to have a significant impact on current accounting practices. The majority of the amendments in this update are effective immediately with a few limited scope amendments (mainly related to plan accounting) that will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2012 for public companies. This guidance had no significant impact on the Company’s financials since it was primarily issued to provide corrections and/or clarifications of currently issued guidance.
