The Company generated revenues of $1,391,583 during the 1st Quarter 2015 compared to $1,346,247 during the first quarter ended January 31, 2014, being an increase of approximately 3.5%.

The increase in loss recorded during the quarter compared to the loss recorded during the same period last year is mainly explained by the increase in manufacturing costs primarily due to the decrease of the Canadian dollar compared to the American dollar during the quarter and to the increase in administration fees. The decrease of the Canadian dollar compared with the American dollar during the quarter caused a foreign exchange loss of $142 810 compared to the exchange loss of 90 878$ recorded during the same period of last year. Furthermore, legal costs caused by the contestation of a lawsuit instituted by a vermiculite supplier against the Corporation have increased the administrative expenses for the Quarter.

Perlite Canada inc. has become a leading company in Canada in the processing, distribution and sale of perlite and vermiculite, two minerals used in industry and horticulture.
