"Key financial progress over the last quarter is encouraging for the future," stated Brian Tuffin, CEO of Fuse Science. "During the early stages of our national expansion, we have experienced solid revenue growth compared to both last year and the previous quarter. Of critical significance in this performance is that we are continuing to see growth in the margin profile of the business, which I believe sets the stage for substantial value creation for shareholders. We retired a million dollars in debt and we continue to expand our distribution channels as the result of being recognized as having developed the 'Best New Products for 2013' by North American Retailers this July," added Tuffin.
