Item 2.04. Triggering Events That Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement.

On July 12, 2005 Shopsmith, Inc. (the “Company”) determined that it was not in compliance with the Net Worth and Net Income financial covenants as set forth in the Loan Agreement dated June 3, 2005 between the Company and National City Bank (the “Lender”).

The Loan Agreement provides, among other terms, that the Company shall:

		The Company’s Tangible Net Worth shall not be less than the required amount of One Million One Hundred Thrity-five Thousand and 00/100 dollars ($1,135,000.00), tested quarterly.

		The Company’s Net Income shall not be less than negative Two Hundred Thirty-five Thousand and 00/100 (-$235,000.00), tested quarterly

For the quarter ended July 2, 2005, the Company did not meet these two financial covenants. As a result of this non-compliance, the Lender may, among other actions, declare all or any part of the borrowings by the Company under the Loan Agreement immediately due and payable. As of July 2, 2005, $250,592 was outstanding under the Loan Agreement.

Under the terms of the Company’s mortgage note, default by the Company under the Loan Agreement can trigger default under the mortgage note. In the event of default the bank may declare the mortgage note immediately due and payable. As of July 2, 2005, $1,902,558 was outstanding under the note.

This Report contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended, including, without limitation, statements containing the words “may,” “intends to,” “could,” and words of similar import. Because forward-looking statements are based on a number of beliefs, estimates and assumptions that could ultimately prove inaccurate, there is no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate.
