“We are pleased to report record revenue and a return to profitability in the second quarter,” said John Saunders, chairman and CEO. “Over the past three quarters we have achieved year over year revenue growth of 39%, 34% and 53%, respectively. This reflects a combination of organic growth and the continued execution of our M&A strategy, which has dramatically increased the number of food producers we serve. Based on growing consumer demand for transparency in food production practices as well as increased regulatory requirements placed on food producers, we anticipate demand for our expanding portfolio of verification solutions to grow as well, and we look forward to a strong finish to 2014.”
