−Removed: Electromed, Inc.
−Removed: “our,” “us,” “Electromed” or the “Company”) develops and provides innovative airway
−Removed: clearance products applying High Frequency Chest Wall Oscillation (“HFCWO”) technologies in pulmonary care for patients.
−Removed: We manufacture, market, and sell
−Removed: products that provide HFCWO, including the SmartVest® Airway Clearance System (“SmartVest System”) that includes
−Removed: our newest generation SmartVest Clearway® Airway Clearance System (“Clearway”), previous generation SmartVest SQL®,
−Removed: and related garments and accessories to patients with compromised pulmonary function.
−Removed: The SmartVest Clearway, which received 510(k)
−Removed: clearance from the U.S.
−Removed: Food and Drug Administration in December 2022, provides patients with proven quality of life outcomes while
−Removed: offering a state-of-the-art patient experience with a simple touch screen user interface, small footprint and lightest HFCWO generator
−Removed: on the market.
−Removed: Our products are sold in both
−Removed: the homecare market and the hospital market for inpatient use, which we refer to as “hospital sales.” Since 2000, we
−Removed: have marketed the SmartVest System and its predecessor products to patients suffering from bronchiectasis, cystic fibrosis, and
−Removed: other chronic pulmonary conditions which require external chest manipulation to enhance mucus transport.
−Removed: Additionally, we offer
−Removed: our products to a patient population that includes neuromuscular disorders such as cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophies, amyotrophic
−Removed: lateral sclerosis (“ALS”), patients with post-surgical complications or who are ventilator dependent and patients who
−Removed: have other conditions involving excess secretion and impaired mucus transport.
−Removed: The SmartVest System is often
−Removed: eligible for reimbursement from major private insurance providers, health maintenance organizations (“HMOs”), state
−Removed: Medicaid systems, and the federal Medicare system, which we believe is an important consideration for patients considering an HFCWO
−Removed: course of therapy.
−Removed: For domestic sales, the SmartVest System may be reimbursed under the Medicare-assigned billing code (E0483)
−Removed: for HFCWO devices if the patient has cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis (including chronic bronchitis or COPD that has resulted in
−Removed: a diagnosis of bronchiectasis), or any one of certain enumerated neuromuscular diseases and myopathies and can demonstrate that
−Removed: another less expensive physical or mechanical treatment did not adequately mobilize retained secretions.
−Removed: Private payers consider
−Removed: a variety of sources, including Medicare, as guidelines in setting their coverage policies and payment amounts.

−Removed: Change Healthcare Update

−Removed: for hospitals, insurers, pharmacies, and medical groups nationwide.
−Removed: Change Healthcare is a financial clearinghouse that works across
−Removed: the health system to make clinical, administrative and financial processes simpler and more efficient for payers, providers and
−Removed: Electromed had historically
−Removed: filed all non-Medicare claims through Change Healthcare’s clearinghouse.
−Removed: However, we resolved nearly 75% of our delayed claims
−Removed: by the end of the quarter with successful submissions through an alternate clearinghouse.
−Removed: Although we experienced an approximately
−Removed: three-week delay in non-Medicare claims submissions, our impact to cashflow was less than $1,000,000 for the quarter ended March
−Removed: 31, 2024, and is expected to fully resolve by the end of the current fiscal year, June 30, 2024.
−Removed: In spite of this headwind,

−Removed: for the quarter ended December 31, 2023).
−Removed: Although we were able

−Removed: Our credit facility provides

−Removed: We currently expect to finance planned
−Removed: equipment purchases with cash flows from operations or borrowings under our credit facility.
−Removed: We may need to incur additional debt
−Removed: if we have an unforeseen need for additional capital equipment or if our operating performance does not generate adequate cash
−Removed: While the impact of macroeconomic
−Removed: factors such as inflation are difficult to predict, we believe our cash, cash equivalents and cash flows from operations will be
−Removed: sufficient to meet our working capital, capital expenditure, operational cash requirements for fiscal 2024 and the foreseeable
−Removed: We will continue to evaluate our projected expenditures relative to our available cash and evaluate financing alternatives
−Removed: to satisfy our working capital and other cash requirements.

+Added: a decrease in inventory of $278,000, and an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $806,000.

+Added: of Capital Resources
+Added: primary working capital requirements relate to adding employees to our sales force and support functions, continuing infrastructure
+Added: investments, and supporting general corporate needs, including financing equipment purchases and other capital expenditures incurred
+Added: in the ordinary course of business.
+Added: Based on our current operational performance, we believe our working capital of approximately
+Added: $33,591,000 and available borrowings under our existing credit facility will provide sufficient liquidity to meet our anticipated
+Added: working capital and other liquidity needs for the next twelve months from the date of this report.
+Added: maintain a credit facility that was last amended in December 2023, which provides us with a revolving line of credit.
+Added: on borrowings on the line of credit accrues at the prime rate (8.0% as of September 30, 2024) less 1.0% and is payable monthly.
+Added: There was no outstanding principal balance on the line of credit as of September 30, 2024, or June 30, 2024.

+Added: As of September 30, 2024, the maximum $2,500,000 was available under the

+Added: Payment obligations under the line of credit are secured by a security interest in substantially all our tangible

+Added: worth of not less than $10,125,000 and restrictions on our ability to incur certain additional indebtedness or pay dividends.
+Added: failure to comply with these covenants in the future may result in an event of default, which if not cured or waived, could result
+Added: in the lender accelerating the maturity of our indebtedness, preventing access to additional funds under the line of credit, requiring
+Added: prepayment of outstanding indebtedness, or refusing to renew the line of credit.
+Added: If the maturity of the indebtedness is accelerated
+Added: or the line of credit is not renewed, sufficient cash resources to satisfy the debt obligations may not be available and we may
+Added: not be able to continue operations as planned.
+Added: If we are unable to repay such indebtedness, the lender could foreclose on these
+Added: the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, we spent approximately $37,000 and $109,000, respectively, on property and
+Added: We currently expect to finance planned equipment purchases with cash flows from operations.
+Added: We may need to incur additional
+Added: debt if we have an unforeseen need for additional capital equipment or if our operating performance does not generate adequate
+Added: the impact of macroeconomic factors such as inflation are difficult to predict, we believe our cash, cash equivalents and cash
+Added: flows from operations will be sufficient to meet our working capital, capital expenditure, operational cash requirements for
+Added: fiscal 2025 and the foreseeable future.
+Added: We will continue to evaluate our projected expenditures relative to our available
+Added: cash and evaluate financing alternatives to satisfy our working capital and other cash requirements.
