The increase in SG&A expenses was principally due to increases in professional fees of $223,000 primarily due to the acquisition of Pumptron and associated legal fees, and in travel and advertising expenses of $139,000 related to trade shows. Also, a change in the allocation of profit sharing in the third quarter 2012 compared to the same period last year resulted in an increase of $268,000.

Record nine-month sales included increases in both the water and non-water market groups. The larger water markets group increased $13.2 million primarily due to improved sales of $9.5 million in the fire protection market due to an increase in sales internationally and higher sales of $4.5 million in the agriculture market due to agricultural cash-flow benefits from high commodity prices and drought conditions in the United States. The non-water markets group increased $8.0 million primarily due to higher sales in the petroleum and industrial markets related to oil and natural gas drilling.
