Arrhythmia Research Technology, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Period Ended June 30, 2015

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements (the "financial statements") include the accounts of Arrhythmia Research Technology, Inc.® (“ART”) and its subsidiary, Micron Products, Inc.® ("Micron" and together with ART, the “Company”). ART discontinued operations of its wholly-owned Pennsylvania subsidiary, RMDDxUSA Corp. (“RMDDxUSA”) and that subsidiary’s Prince Edward Island subsidiary, RMDDx Corporation (“RMDDx” and collectively with RMDDxUSA,“WirelessDx”) in the third quarter of 2012. In May 2014, RMDDxUSA filed for bankruptcy and the Chapter 7 discharge order was issued on March 20, 2015 and the case was closed (see Note 10). The WirelessDx results are presented herein as discontinued operations. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").  Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in complete financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.  These financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 filed with the SEC on March 20, 2015. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current year presentation.
The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The Company's balance sheet at December 31, 2014 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.
The information presented reflects, in the opinion of the management of the Company, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial results for the interim periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  
2.    Earnings per Share ("EPS")
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  The computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share is similar to the computation of basic earnings (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the average number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been issued.  In addition, the numerator is adjusted for any changes in net income (loss) that would result from the assumed conversions of those potential shares.
The following table presents the calculation of both basic and diluted EPS:

Bank Debt
The revolving line of credit (the "revolver"), commercial term loan, two equipment term loans and an equipment line of credit are all under the terms of a multi-year credit facility with a bank as detailed below. The bank facility contains both financial and non-financial covenants, all of which the Company is in compliance with at June 30, 2015.
Revolver
The revolver provides for borrowings up to 80% of eligible accounts receivable and 50% of eligible raw materials inventory.  The interest rate on the revolver is calculated at the bank's prime rate plus 0.25% (3.50% at June 30, 2015). The original maturity date of the revolver was June 30, 2015, therefore, as of December 31, 2014 the balance of the revolver was classified as a current liability. In June 2015, the revolver was extended for an additional two-year period maturing June 30, 2017 and is therefore classified as a long-term liability on the Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2015.
Commercial term loan

9



    The commercial term loan has a five year term with a maturity date in March 2018. The interest rate on the loan is a fixed 4.25% per annum, and requires monthly payments of approximately $28,000.
Equipment line of credit and equipment term loans
The original equipment line of credit allowed for advances of up to $1.0 million and included a one-year draw period during which payments were interest only. The draw period ended March 29, 2014 and the then outstanding balance on the equipment line of credit of $740,999 was converted to an equipment term loan with a five-year term, maturing on of March 29, 2019. The equipment term loan requires monthly payments of approximately $14,000, consisting of principal and interest at a fixed rate of 4.65%.
On June 26, 2014, the Company entered into an equipment line of credit that allowed for advances of up to $1.0 million and included a one-year draw period during which payments were interest only. The draw period ended June 26, 2015 and the then outstanding balance on the equipment line of credit of $415,785 was converted to an equipment term loan with a five-year term, maturing on of June 26, 2020. The equipment term loan requires monthly payments of approximately $8,000, consisting of principal and interest at a fixed rate of 4.67%.
On June 19, 2015, the Company entered into a new equipment line of credit for $1.0 million under the Company's multi-year credit facility. At June 30, 2015, no amounts had been drawn on the new equipment line of credit. The term of this equipment line of credit is six years, maturing on June 19, 2021, inclusive of a maximum one-year draw period. Repayment shall consist of monthly interest only payments, equal to the bank's prime rate plus 0.25% as to each advance commencing on the date of the loan through the earlier of: (i) one year from the date of the loan or (ii) the date upon which the equipment line of credit is fully advanced (the “Conversion Date”). On the Conversion Date, principal and interest payments will be due and payable monthly in an amount sufficient to pay the loan in full based upon an amortization schedule commensurate with the remaining term of the loan.
Other Debt
Equipment notes
In January 2013, the Company entered into two equipment notes totaling $272,500 with a financing company to acquire production equipment. The notes bear interest at the fixed rate of 4.66% and require monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $5,000 over a five year term maturing in January 2018.
Subordinated promissory notes
In December 2013, the Company completed a private offering in which the Company sold an aggregate of $500,000 in subordinated promissory notes. The notes are unsecured and require quarterly interest-only payments at a rate of 10% per annum. On the second anniversary following issuance, the interest rate increases to 12% per annum. The notes mature in December 2016 at which point the outstanding balance is due in full. The subordinated promissory notes may be prepaid by the Company at any time following the first anniversary thereof without penalty. The notes are subordinated to all indebtedness of the Company pursuant to the bank credit facility.
In connection with the subordinated promissory notes, the Company issued warrants to purchase the Company's common stock at $3.51 per share. The warrants expire in December 2016. The proceeds were allocated between the notes and warrants on a relative fair value basis resulting in $416,950 allocated to the notes and $83,050 allocated to the warrants as part of Additional-Paid-in-Capital. The total discount on the notes is being recognized as non-cash interest expense over the term of the notes. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded $6,921 and $13,842, respectively, of non-cash interest expense related to the amortization of the discount. The unamortized discount which is net against the outstanding balance of the subordinated promissory notes is $40,706 at June 30, 2015 and $54,548 at December 31, 2014.
7. Income Taxes
The tax provisions for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 are attributable to the U.S. federal and state income taxes on our continuing operations. The Company has a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. Management expects to reevaluate the allowance on its deferred tax assets at December 31, 2015.
The Company has federal and state net operating loss carryforwards totaling $7,752,000 and $7,202,000, respectively, which begin to expire in 2030. The Company also had federal and state tax credit carryovers of $243,000 and $281,000 respectively. The federal and state tax credits begin to expire in 2026 and 2015, respectively. During the first quarter of 2015, the Company's subsidiary, RMDDxUSA, was formally discharged in its bankruptcy proceedings.  The tax attributes associated with this subsidiary expired upon the finalization of the bankruptcy. As a result, the Company's available foreign and state net operating loss carryforwards have been reduced by $1,039,000 and $4,315,000, respectively.

Net Sales
The Company's consolidated net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was $5,659,094, a decrease of $594,663, or 9.5%, when compared to the consolidated net sales of $6,253,757 for the three months ended June 30, 2014.
The decrease in net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was due primarily to a decrease in sensors net sales. This decrease was the result of a 28.3% decrease in order volume as compared to the same period in 2014 which represented the highest quarterly sensor volume for the previous five year period. The lower volume was due in part to reduced demand from a large customer who notified the Company in the first quarter to expect lower demand in 2015 versus 2014. Additionally, silver surcharge billed decreased 45.1% due to the decrease in volume as well as a 15.8% decrease in the weighted average price of silver for the three months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014.
The decreases in net sales were partially offset by a 52.3% increase in net sales of custom thermoplastic injection molding for the three months ended June 30, 2015, due to increased order volume for military and law enforcement as well as automotive components. Net sales of orthopedic implant components increased 1.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014.
The Company's consolidated net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $11,517,436, a decrease of $766,164, or 6.2%, when compared to the consolidated net sales of $12,283,600 for the six months ended June 30, 2014.
The decrease in net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2015, was due primarily to a decrease in sensors net sales. The decrease in sensors net sales was due to a 7.1% decrease in volume due in part to reduced demand from a large customer who notified the Company in the first quarter to expect lower demand in 2015 versus 2014. Silver surcharge billed decreased 30.5% due to the decrease in volume as well as a 16.8% decrease in the average price of silver for the six months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014. Net sales of orthopedic implant components decreased 14.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014 due primarily to production delays encountered in the first quarter of 2015. The production delays were addressed and led to measurable progress in the second quarter of 2015. Additionally, 2014 benefited from $250,000 of Predictor license sales. There were no Predictor sales in 2015.
The decreases in net sales were partially offset by a 39.1% increase in net sales of custom thermoplastic injection molding for the six months ended June 30, 2015 due to largely to increased order volume of automotive as well as military and law enforcement components.
Gross Profit
The Company's gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was $1,032,154, a decrease of $101,869, or 9.0%, when compared to gross profit of $1,134,023 for the same period in 2014. Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2015 increased to 18.2% or 0.1 points from 18.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2014. Although sensor sales decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2015, the sensor gross margin increased 5.4 points when compared to the same period in 2014. This was offset by a 6.6 point decrease in gross margin related to orthopedic implant components due primarily to product mix. Additionally, increased expenditures of $137,472 in our manufacturing quality function to support the Company's growth strategy in the three months ended June 30, 2015, reduced gross profit when compared to the prior period.

13




Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $1,828,550, a decrease of $616,759, or 25.2%, when compared to gross profit of $2,445,309 for the same period in 2014. Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased 4.0 points from 19.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease in gross profit was due primarily to an 8.6 point decrease in gross margin related to orthopedic implant components as a result of both product mix as well as production delays encountered in the first quarter of 2015. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, gross profit included $250,000 from net sales of Predictor licenses. Additionally, increased expenditures of $253,840 in the Company's manufacturing quality function to support its growth strategy in the six months ended June 30, 2015, resulted in a decrease to gross profit when compared to the prior period.
Selling and Marketing
The Company's consolidated selling and marketing expenses amounted to $262,609 (4.6% of net sales) for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to $240,408 (3.8% of net sales) for the three months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $22,201, or 9.2%.  For the three months ended June 30, 2015, marketing and travel expenses increased $14,769 due in part to travel to trade shows related to the Company's orthopedic implant components. The increase was also due in part to the impact of a second quarter 2014 refund of a consulting fee incurred in 2013. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in commissions of $11,627 due to lower net sales as compared to the same period in the prior year.
The Company's consolidated selling and marketing expenses amounted to $520,581 (4.5% of net sales) for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to $532,080 (4.3% of net sales) for the six months ended June 30, 2014, a decrease of $11,499, or 2.2%.  For the six months ended June 30, 2015, travel expenses decreased $15,293 due in part to decreased international travel and travel to trade shows. Additionally, commissions decreased $15,840 due to lower net sales as compared to the same period in the prior year. These decreases were partially offset by the impact of a second quarter 2014 refund of a consulting fee incurred in 2013.
General and Administrative
The Company's consolidated general and administrative expenses decreased to $525,577 (9.3% of net sales) for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to $543,235 (8.7% of net sales) for the three months ended June 30, 2014, a decrease of $17,658, or 3.3%.  The decrease in consolidated general and administrative expenses for three months ended June 30, 2015 was due in part to an $18,176 decrease in wages, taxes, and benefits due in part to the departure of the Vice President of Human Resources in November 2014, partially offset by increases to executive compensation. Additionally, the Company recorded $35,000 less in bonus accruals. These decreases were partially offset by increases of $7,138 in legal fees due in part to the amendment to the certificate of incorporation and $6,501 of general property and liability insurance due to policy renewals. Additionally, directors' fees increased $5,417 as a result of adding a new member to the Company's Board of Directors in April 2015. There were multiple smaller variances in accounting fees, investor relations and consulting fees for the three months ended June 30, 2015 versus the same period in the prior year.    
The Company's consolidated general and administrative expenses increased to $1,173,804 (10.2% of net sales) for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to $1,137,866 (9.3% of net sales) for the six months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $35,938, or 3.2%.   The increase in consolidated general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was due in part to $22,761 related to the engagement of an investor relations firm in June 2014. Additionally, accounting fees and other related costs increased $19,745, due in part to increased software expenses as well as costs related to insuring the Company's trade accounts receivable. Consulting fees also increased $10,418 due largely to professional services related to strategic planning. Insurance expense increased $12,398 due to general property and liability insurance policy renewals. Additionally, the Company incurred an aggregate increase of approximately $15,000 in wages, taxes, and benefits, legal expenses and directors' compensation. These increases were partially offset by $35,000 less in bonus accruals as well as a reduction in bank fees of $10,283 over the same period in the prior year.
Research and Development
The Company's consolidated research and development expenses decreased to $62,224 (1.1% of net sales) for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to $85,694 (1.4% of net sales) for the three months ended June 30, 2014, a decrease of $23,470, or 27.4%. The decrease is due to a decrease of $25,604 for internal research and development costs for the development of new products and capabilities related to medical device components.
The Company's consolidated research and development expenses decreased to $154,785 (1.3% of net sales) for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to $182,521 (1.5% of net sales) for the six months ended June 30, 2014, a decrease of $27,736, or 15.2%. The net decrease is due to a reduction in wages, taxes and benefits of $38,950 due primarily to turnover of two employees partially offset by an increase of $10,263 for internal research and development costs for the development of new products and capabilities related to medical device components.
The Company has also dedicated resources to customer funded research and development of new products in the military and law enforcement industry.
Other Income (Expense)

14




Other expense, net increased to $66,518 for the three months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to $23,842, for three months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $42,676. The increase in other expense for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014 was partially due to a decrease of $20,800 from the gain on the sale of fixed assets.
Other expense, net increased to $118,702 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to $91,680 for the six months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $27,022. The increase in other expense for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014 was partially due to a decrease of $8,094 from the gain on the sale of fixed assets and partially offset by a decrease in interest expense of $6,094.
For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded other income of $23,423 as a result of a refund of the remaining portion of the performance guarantee obligation of ART on behalf of RMDDx.
Income Tax Provision
The tax provisions for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 are attributable to the U.S. federal and state income taxes on our continuing operations. The Company’s combined federal and state effective income tax rate from continuing operations for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was 0% due to the expected utilization of deferred tax assets previously reserved for with a valuation allowance.
Income from Discontinued Operations
On May 8, 2014, RMDDxUSA filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 7 (Liquidation) of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the District of Massachusetts and a trustee was assigned to review the assets and liabilities of the company. On March 20, 2015, the Chapter 7 discharge order was issued by the assigned trustee and the case was closed.
For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2015, net income of $0 and $362,610, respectively, net of tax, was recorded from discontinued operations as a result of the write-off of the remaining liabilities of $320,056 and the reversal of accumulated other comprehensive income of $42,502 from cumulative translation adjustments from RMDDx Corporation.

Consolidated basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was $0.04 per share as compared to $0.09 per share for the same period in 2014, a decrease of $0.05 per share. The decrease in earnings per share is due largely to the decrease in net sales of sensors in the three months ended June 30, 2015 versus the same period in 2014, partially offset by increased net sales in custom thermoplastic injection molding.
Consolidated basic and diluted earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $0.08 per share as compared to $0.18 per share for the same period in 2014, a decrease of $0.10 per share. The decrease in earnings per share is due largely to the decrease in net sales of sensors and orthopedic implant components partially offset by the impact of other income from discontinued operations as a result of the final discharge order related to the bankruptcy of RMDDxUSA as well as the lack of net sales of Predictor licenses in the six months ended June 30, 2015 versus the same period in 2014.
Basic and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was $0.04 per share compared to $0.09 per share for the three months ended June 30, 2014, a decrease of $0.05 per share, due largely to the decrease in net sales of sensors, partially offset by increased net sales in custom thermoplastic injection molding.
Basic and diluted loss per share from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $0.05 per share compared to earnings of $0.18 per share for the six months ended June 30, 2014, a decrease of $0.23 per share, due largely to the decrease in net sales of sensors and orthopedic implant components as well as the lack of net sales of Predictor licenses.
Basic and diluted earnings per share from discontinued operations, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 was $0.00 per share and $0.13 per share, respectively as compared to $0.00 per share for the same periods in 2014, due to the final discharge order related to the bankruptcy of RMDDxUSA issued in 2015.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In 2014, the Company entered into two operating leases for office equipment. Lease expense under all operating leases was approximately $1,822 and $3,644 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, and $0 for the same periods in 2014.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Working capital was $3,953,865 as of June 30, 2015, as compared to $1,308,472 at December 31, 2014, an increase of $2,645,393.  The increase is due primarily to the reclassification of the revolver from current liabilities to long-term liabilities, increases in accounts receivable and cash, partially offset by increased accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities.
Cash and cash equivalents were $284,774 and $209,398 at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, an increase of $75,376.  Substantially all of these funds are maintained in bank deposit accounts.

Trade accounts receivable were $4,357,896 and $3,536,747 at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, an increase of $821,149 due in part to the timing of, and the increase in, net sales in the month of June 2015 as compared to December 2014, as well as the timing of cash receipts.
Inventories were $2,490,723 at June 30, 2015, as compared to $2,514,241 at December 31, 2014, a decrease of $23,518.  Raw materials decreased $41,511 due to high usage levels during the second quarter of 2015 in custom thermoplastic injection molding. As an offset, work in progress increased $13,062 and finished goods increased $4,931, due to larger shipments in the quarter ended June 30, 2015.
Accounts payable increased $325,282 due in part to purchases of raw material inventory driven by increased demand in custom thermoplastic injection molding.
Accrued expenses and other current liabilities increased $283,897 as compared to December 31, 2014 as discussed below in Operating Cash Flows.
Capital equipment expenditures were $784,157 for the six months ended June 30, 2015, due to investments in machinery and equipment primarily for the contract manufacturing of orthopedic implant components as well as molding equipment.
In March 2013, the Company entered into a multi-year credit facility with a Massachusetts bank. Under this credit facility the Company has a revolving line of credit (the "revolver"), a commercial term loan, two equipment term loans and an equipment line of credit. The bank facility contains both financial and non-financial covenants, all of which the Company is in compliance with as of June 30, 2015.
The revolver provides for borrowings up to 80% of eligible accounts receivable and 50% of eligible raw materials inventory.  The interest rate on the revolver is calculated at the bank's prime rate plus 0.25% (3.50% at June 30, 2015). The balance outstanding on the revolver was $2,391,495 as of June 30, 2015. In June 2015, the revolver was extended for an additional two-year period maturing June 30, 2017.
    The commercial term loan has a five year term with a maturity date in March 2018. The interest rate on the loan is a fixed 4.25% per annum, and requires monthly payments of approximately $28,000. At June 30, 2015, the balance of the commercial term loan was $863,612.
The original equipment line of credit allowed for advances of up to $1.0 million and included a one-year draw period during which payments were interest only. The draw period ended March 29, 2014 and the then outstanding balance on the equipment line of credit of $740,999 was converted to a five-year term loan with monthly payments of approximately $14,000 consisting of principal and interest at a fixed rate of 4.65%. The balance of the equipment term loan was $571,789 as of June 30, 2015.
On June 26, 2014, the Company entered into an equipment line of credit that allowed for advances of up to $1.0 million and included a one-year draw period during which payments were interest only. The draw period ended June 26, 2015 and the then outstanding balance on the equipment line of credit of $415,785 was converted to an equipment term loan with a five-year term, maturing on of June 26, 2020. The equipment term loan requires monthly payments of approximately $8,000, consisting of principal and interest at a fixed rate of 4.67% beginning in July 2015.
On June 19, 2015, the Company entered into a new equipment line of credit for $1.0 million under the Company's multi-year credit facility. At June 30, 2015, no amounts had been drawn on the new equipment line of credit. The term of this equipment line of credit is six years, maturing on June 19, 2021, inclusive of a maximum one-year draw period. Repayment shall consist of monthly interest only payments, equal to the bank's prime rate plus 0.25% as to each advance commencing on the date of the loan through the earlier of: (i) one year from the date of the loan or (ii) the date upon which the equipment line of credit is fully advanced (the “Conversion Date”). On the Conversion Date, principal and interest payments will be due and payable monthly in an amount sufficient to pay the loan in full based upon an amortization schedule commensurate with the remaining term of the loan.
In January 2013, the Company entered into two equipment notes totaling $272,500 with a financing company to acquire production equipment. The notes bear interest at the fixed rate of 4.66% and require monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $5,000 over a five year term maturing in January 2018. The outstanding balance of these equipment notes at June 30, 2015 was $143,615.
In December 2013, the Company completed a private offering in which the Company sold an aggregate of $500,000 in subordinated promissory notes. The notes are unsecured and require quarterly interest-only payments at a rate of 10% per annum. On the second anniversary following issuance, the interest rate increases to 12% per annum. The notes mature in December 2016 at which point the outstanding balance is due in full. The subordinated promissory notes may be prepaid by the Company at any time following the first anniversary thereof without penalty. The notes are subordinated to all indebtedness of the Company pursuant to the bank credit facility.
In connection with the subordinated promissory notes, the Company issued warrants to purchase the Company's common stock at $3.51 per share. The warrants expire in December 2016. The proceeds were allocated between the notes and warrants

16




on a relative fair value basis resulting in $416,950 allocated to the notes and $83,050 allocated to the warrants as part of Additional-Paid-in-Capital. The total discount on the notes is being recognized as non-cash interest expense over the term of the notes. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded $13,842 of non-cash interest expense related to the amortization of the discount. The unamortized discount which is net against the outstanding balance of the subordinated promissory notes is $40,706 at June 30, 2015 and $54,548 at December 31, 2014.
The borrowing agreement, under the bank facility as described above, contains both financial and non-financial covenants. The financial covenants include maintaining certain debt coverage and leverage ratios. The non-financial covenants relate to various matters including notice prior to executing further borrowings and security interests, mergers or consolidations, acquisitions, guarantees, sales of assets other than in the normal course of business, leasing, changes in ownership and payment of dividends.
No dividends were declared or paid in the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.
The Company believes that cash flows from its operations, together with its existing working capital, the revolving line of credit and other resources, will be sufficient to fund operations at current levels and repay debt obligations over the next twelve months. The Company continues to develop opportunities within new and existing channels where the Company can maximize its return on investments in capital equipment, research and development, marketing and human resources.
Summary of Changes in Cash Position
As of June 30, 2015, the Company had cash on hand of $284,774. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, net cash provided by operating activities was $322,045. Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $768,985. Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $522,316. All of the above were from continuing operations. The net cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2015 are discussed in further detail below.
Operating Cash Flows
For the six months ended June 30, 2015, net cash provided by operating activities was $322,045, due partially to net income of $223,288 as well as an increase in accounts payable of $325,282, due in part to purchases of raw material inventory driven by increased demand in custom thermoplastic injection molding.
Additionally, accrued expenses and other current liabilities increased $283,897 due in part to an increase of $109,650 for inventory received but not invoiced at June 30, 2015 as compared to December 31, 2014. Additionally, accrued payroll, taxes and benefits increased by $119,020 due in part to a seven day accrual at June 30, 2015 as compared to a three day accrual at December 31, 2014. In addition, current deferred revenue related to tooling increased by $64,790 as a result of previously deferred items becoming current. As on offset, non-current liabilities consisting of non-current deferred revenues related to total tooling decreased $249,619.
These increases were partially offset by a decrease in other assets of $226,802 consisting of current and non-current deferred cost of goods sold related to tooling.
Cash provided by operating activities was also impacted by non-cash add-backs for depreciation and amortization of $730,013.
These sources of cash were partially offset by an increase in trade accounts receivable of $824,149 due largely to timing of shipments at the end of the quarter. Additional uses of cash came from a decrease in inventory of $23,518 and cash used in deposits, prepaid expenses and other assets of $76,378.
In addition, there was a non-cash adjustment for net income from discontinued operations of $362,610.
Investing Cash Flows
For the six months ended June 30, 2015, net cash used in investing activities was $768,985. The net cash used was primarily for capital expenditures of $784,157, largely for machinery and equipment, primarily for the contract manufacturing of orthopedic implant components as well as for molding equipment.
The capital expenditures were partially offset by $20,700 of proceeds from the sale of fixed assets.
Financing Cash Flows
For the six months ended June 30, 2015, net cash provided by financing activities was $522,316. Cash was provided by proceeds of $320,000 from the Company's revolver and proceeds from the equipment line of credit of $415,785, offset by payments on term notes payable of $242,080. Additionally, there were proceeds of $28,611 from the exercise of stock options.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer (“the Certifying Officers”) have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)).  Based on such evaluation, our Certifying Officers have concluded the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this report, were effective.
The effectiveness of a system of disclosure controls and procedures is subject to various inherent limitations, including cost limitations, judgments used in decision making, assumptions about the likelihood of future events, the soundness of internal controls, and fraud. Due to such inherent limitations, there can be no assurance that any system of disclosure controls and procedures will be successful in preventing all errors or fraud, or in making all material information known in a timely manner to the appropriate levels of management.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the three months ended June 30, 2015 there have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
