The increases in net sales for the three months and full year ended December 31, 2015, compared to the same periods in 2014, in our Lifeboat Distribution segment were mainly a result of the strengthening of our account penetration and the addition of several key product lines. The decreases in net sales for the  year ended December 31, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 in our TechXtend segment was primarily due to a decrease in extended payment terms sales transactions and large sales transactions in 2015.
