/EINPresswire.com/ -- BOULDER CITY, NV -- (Marketwired) -- 05/10/16 -- Amerityre Corporation (OTCQB: AMTY) today reported quarterly earnings of approximately $35,000, before preferred share dividends, for the fiscal third quarter of 2016.

"Our third quarter results, achieved despite a very challenging economic environment, reflect the success of our organization in executing our business plan," said Michael F. Sullivan, Chief Executive Officer. "We continue to push forward with the development and sale of higher margin products, while remaining vigilant in controlling our costs. Sales revenues were less than planned, but our efforts to restructure the company to a leaner and more focused organization allowed us to earn a profit during the quarter."

Amerityre's third quarter 2016 sales of approximately $.94 million were down from approximately $1.19 million a year ago. Net income of approximately $35,000 for the quarter was up from a quarterly net loss of approximately $49,000 a year ago.

Summarized results for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2016 are:

Overview

Amerityre engages in the research and development, manufacturing and sale of polyurethane tires. We believe that we have developed unique polyurethane formulations that allow us to make products with superior performance characteristics, including abrasion resistance, energy efficiency and load-bearing capabilities, when compared to conventional rubber tires. We also believe that our manufacturing processes are more energy efficient than the traditional rubber tire manufacturing processes, in part because our polyurethane compounds do not require the multiple processing steps, extreme heat, and high pressure that are necessary to cure rubber. Using our polyurethane technologies, we believe tires can be produced which last longer, are less susceptible to failure and are friendly to the environment.

We are concentrating on three segments of the tire market: closed-cell polyurethane foam tires, polyurethane elastomer forklift tires and agricultural tires. Our focus continues to be applications and markets where our advantages in product technology give us an opportunity to provide unique products and obtain premium pricing.
