Debt instrument, covenant compliance																	Although the Company was in compliance with the liquidity covenant at June 30, 2014, the Company anticipates that it will be non-compliant with the liquidity covenant during the fourth quarter of 2014, and has therefore classified the entire obligation as a current liability.
