Puradyn Filter Technologies Incorporated (OTCQB: PFTI), the global bypass oil filtration system manufacturer, today reported results of operations for the first fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2013.

Net sales for the first quarter ended March 31, 2013 were approximately $574,500 compared to approximately $751,500 for the same period in 2012, a decrease of approximately $177,000 or 24%.

The Company reported a net loss of $416,685 or ($0.01) per share, basic and diluted, for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared to a net loss of $231,979 or ($0.01) per share, basic and diluted, for the same period in 2012.

Operating losses increased to $366,571 from $338,469 in the first quarter of 2013 as compared to the same time period in 2012, an increase of $28,102 or 8.3%. The gross profit on products sold, as a percentage of sales, increased from 24% in the first quarter of 2012 to 30% in the first quarter of 2013. The increase in gross profit percentage for the period ending March 31, 2013, was primarily attributable to three areas: reduced scrap costs, sales of higher margin products and better pricing on the purchase of cotton.

Kevin G. Kroger, President and COO, stated, “Even with disappointing first quarter numbers, several new opportunities have presented themselves providing optimism for the remainder of 2013.

“The release of an industry trade magazine article that featured one of our customers describing the savings our systems have produced for their operations, along with the significant reduction of waste oil generation, has generated a number of inquiries.”

Kroger concluded, “We remain optimistic about 2013 as our discussions have concluded with two new distributors within targeted industries.”
