In reporting the year-over-year comparison for financial results below, please note that the Company entered into a "reverse merger" with Punk Industries, Inc. on June 30, 2011, and that the discussion below relates to the operations of Punk Industries Inc., which was incorporated in February 25, 2011. As such, the prior fiscal year results do not reflect a full 12-month period.

For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012, revenues were $1.96 million, compared to $354 thousand for the February 25 through September 30, 2011 period, with cost of sales of $1.69 million, and $315 thousand, respectively.

Excluding stock compensation expense, total operating expenses for fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 were $816,293 compared to $108,918 during the seven months ended September 30, 2011.
