Factors affecting warranty reserve levels include the number of units sold, anticipated cost of warranty repairs and anticipated rates of warranty claims. The Company evaluates the adequacy of the provision for warranty costs each reporting period. In the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013, the Company increased its reserve by $8,446. Deferred Revenue Deferred revenue at September 30, 2012 included $270,559 collected from a license agreement in advance of recognized revenue.
