Kevin G. Kroger, President and COO, noted, “We experienced a decline in sales this quarter as companies indicated they were postponing purchases to conserve resources. It is disappointing, but we move forward from this point. As the economy strengthens, we fully expect our customers to resume retrofit programs.
“Overall, our year-to-date sales are comparable to the same time period in 2010. Positive steps during the quarter include:
- Signing with public and media relations firm, Monarch Communications, which will bring Puradyn to the attention of industry publications;
- Several new domestic and international patent applications; and
- Increase of approximately 27% in the first six months of 2011 in filter sales revenue over the same time period in 2010.”
Kroger concluded, “We are making progress in our targeted market and have demonstrated that our technology provides the cost savings necessary for these companies to lower avoidable expenses associated with equipment maintenance. Our previously indicated optimism remains in place.”
