Record revenue growth in the third quarter of 2017 resulted from strong
demand for the Company’s battery powered accent lighting products and
the placement of 5 new lighting products. Products sold under Capstone
Lighting®, Hoover® Home LED and Duracell® brands
experienced significantly higher revenue levels.
Record gross profit was driven by the record revenue volume. Gross
margin as a percent to revenue declined slightly, when compared against
the prior year quarter, however that is after the Company invested an

launch of the new products.
Selling and marketing expense increased to $928 thousand from $488
thousand in the prior year quarter. During the quarter we expensed $514
thousand of Royalty payments for the branded licenses, resulting from
the higher revenue levels.

and $1.604 million, respectively. With a $390 thousand tax provision for
the quarter 2017 Net Income was $991 thousand compared to $1.490 million
in 2016.
Record revenue for the 9 months 2017 of $30.8 million was $8.1 million
or 35.8% higher than in 2016. Record gross profit for the 9 months 2017
of $7.3 million was $1.7 million or 31.1% higher than in 2016 and that

thousand higher than in 2016.
Net Income for the 9 months 2017 was $2.1 million or $331 thousand lower
