FLAME SEAL PRODUCTS, INC. (OTC PINK: FLMP), a leading provider of Specialty Chemicals for the Passive Fire Protection Market, today issues the following update to its Stockholders.

From: Craig Keyser, CEO
Subject: June 30, 2016 Second Quarter and Six Months Results and Update

Another Record Sales Quarter

Revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 were $868,343, a $230,799 increase or 36% over the comparable 2015 quarter and, sequentially, $176,084 or 25% higher than the March 31, 2016 record quarter. For the six months ending June 30, 2016, revenues totaled $1,560,602, an increase of $450,118 or 41% over 2015.

Craig Keyser states, "Flame Seal (FSP) continues to execute on plan. Business is building across a broadening base of customers worldwide as demand for and acceptance of FSP technology increases. Expansion of further testing and certification for new business is expected to reinforce this trend. Especially noteworthy is that 65% of our 2016 sales so far are from new products. Another noteworthy measure of FSP's progress is that just six months' of 2016 revenues exceed all of 2012's. The Flame Seal team continues to improve their efficiency and performance. We're excited about our prospects and the company we're building."

Operating Profit

The increase in sales yielded a $20,092 operating profit, non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles). GAAP results decreased earnings to $3,092 after a write-off of a non-recurring item. Net interest expense of $7,446 reduced results to a reported net loss of $4,355.

Gross Margins

During the second quarter of 2016 gross operating margins held steady at 51%. FSP views our current working capital constraints as temporary as increased sales will lead to higher cash flow and bulk raw material purchases translating to increased gross margins. "For the first time in FSP history we've booked over $1,000,000 in new orders dramatically improving our prospects for 2016 and beyond," said Craig Keyser.

Balance Sheet Status

FSP's balance sheet continued to improve this quarter as the current ratio remains strong at 3.21. Receivables remained healthy with daily sales outstanding (DSO) at 19 days. Receivables were reduced by $17,000 write-off of a joint venture which did not perform. Flame Seal has no outstanding litigation issues as of March 31, 2016 to note on its balance sheet. The improved balance sheet has facilitated the further pay-off of pre-2013 legacy liabilities of $127,500 in the last year with the $52,500 remainder due to be paid by yearend. "Though not a P & L item, these onerous, inherited costs have restricted our ramp up speed to higher sales and profitability. Putting this chapter behind us is a major accomplishment," stated Craig Keyser.
