Gross profit was $434,710 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, an increase of $381,855 or 722% from $52,855 in the same period last year, primarily due to increased product sales, service revenues and license revenues.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $478,518 compared to $206,810 for the comparable three months in 2012. The Company increased sales and marketing expenses from $7,234 to $77,841 as it expanded its sales and branding efforts. OxySure also recorded an increase in research and development expenses primarily attributable to an increase in research and development expense recognized in connection with products for military markets.

Other general and administrative expenses also increased by 34% to $266,320 as compared to $198,997 for the prior period. The increase in other general and administrative expense was primarily as a result of increases in depreciation and amortization expense, sales and marketing expense, research and development expense, and salaries and wages.

Interest expense fell 15% to $47,180 for the third quarter of 2013 from $55,461 during the third quarter of 2012.
