The Company expects to report revenue of approximately $28.1 million for the three months ended October 3, 2015, compared with revenues of $33.2 million for the three months ended September 27, 2014. Net loss attributable to controlling interest is expected to be approximately $0.8 million for the three months ended October 3, 2015, compared to net income attributable to controlling interest of $0.3 million for the three months ended September 27, 2014. The results expected to be reported were unfavorably impacted by lower deliveries of replacement appliances under one of our largest utility replacement programs, and declines in the selling prices of scrap metal and other byproducts that we sell as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2014.
