Net sales for the nine-month period ending September 30, 2015 were $1,639,688, compared to $2,496,584, a decrease of 34%, primarily due to a number of customers that continue to be negatively affected by the volatility in market conditions.

Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, decreased by 14%, from 36% in the third quarter of 2014 to 22% in the third quarter of 2015 due to reduced sales that resulted in increased overhead allocations.

Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, decreased by 7%, from 38% in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 to 31% in the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Kevin G. Kroger, President and COO, noted, "2015 has been a very difficult year for us as well as many of our top customers due to fluctuating market conditions. Existing customers, along with some potential customers, are postponing orders until the markets begin to stabilize. However, on a brighter note, a few long-standing customers wanting to build on the fine fluid filtration performance our product has provided have asked us to provide similar fine filtration to other fluids within their operations.

"We are committed to meeting our customers' ever-changing needs for fluid filtration, and we are confident that continued enhancements to our product line will provide the solutions our customers are requiring."
