Increased research and development and selling costs of approximately $800 thousand along with $1.3 million of additional costs related to our new Lincolnton, North Carolina facility offset the additional margin from our increased product sales and the positive impact from the timing of reduced resin cost pass throughs of approximately $900 thousand.
