During July we pre-launched our Ketopia product system in North America. This launch resulted in several non-recurring costs we do not expect to see in the future. The immediate success of the product surpassed our expectations, creating a backlog. Our shareholders will note a dramatic increase in deferred revenue at the end of the quarter. Had all orders been delivered, the Q3 financial report would have significantly been impacted in a positive way. The backlog has since been resolved and product is currently shipped within 24 hours of ordering. Going forward, we expect sales of Ketopia to increase dramatically. We will officially launch this product in January and have begun introducing it around the world, commented Jack Eldridge, CFO of ForeverGreen.

Additionally, the introduction of our Farmer's Market line into new countries will continue to increase sales. We expect our profitability and gross profit margins to increase by several percentage points as we work diligently to add more to the bottom line. The fourth quarter and beginning of 2016 should see considerable growth in revenues and profit margins, he continued.
