We reported record sales of PCT Products in Q3 2012, as well as a 57% increase in total revenue through the third quarter of 2012, compared to the same period in 2011. We also reported that revenue for the first nine months of 2012 exceeded $1,000,000 - a level not reached over all four quarters of 2011. Orders from new distributors, sales of products released over the past year, and an increase in grant billings accounted for the majority of this increase."

On the financing side, we received approximately $600,000 in short-term loans from five investors during the third quarter, including two members of the Board of Directors. We are very pleased with our financial performance for both the third quarter and the year-to-date period ending September 30, 2012."
