Cash and long term receivables amounted to $24.4 million, representing 63% of equity as of June 30, 2015. Working capital amounted to $32.4 million, representing 84% of equity as of June 30, 2015.
"I am pleased to report solid financial results for Q2 2015. Overall, revenue increased 9% and Gross Profit increased 5% over the same period last year, due to continued strong performance from our Lifeboat Distribution team," said Simon F. Nynens, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "I am also pleased to announce that we have recently opened a Lifeboat Distribution sales office in Mesa, Arizona to enhance customer service for our Mid-west and West Coast customers."
Net sales for the second quarter ended June 30, 2015 increased 9% or $7.6 million to $92.0 million compared to $84.4 million for the same period in 2014. Total sales for the second quarter of 2015 for our Lifeboat Distribution segment were $81.3 million compared to $70.0 million in the second quarter of 2014, representing an increase of $11.3 million or 16%. Total sales for the second quarter of 2015 for our TechXtend segment were $10.7 million compared to $14.4 million in the second quarter of 2014, representing a decrease of $3.7 million or 26%.
The 16% increase in net sales for the Lifeboat Distribution segment was mainly a result of the addition of several key product lines and our ongoing strategy of strengthening of our account penetration. The 26% decrease in net sales in the TechXtend segment was primarily due to a decrease in both extended payment terms sales transactions and large transactions as compared to the second quarter ended June 30, 2015.
Gross Profit for the second quarter ended June 30, 2015 was $6.4 million, a 5% increase as compared to $6.1 million for the second quarter of 2014. Gross profit for our Lifeboat Distribution segment in the second quarter of 2015 was $5.1 million compared to $4.6 million for the second quarter of 2014, representing an 11% increase. The increase in gross profit for the Lifeboat Distribution segment was primarily due to higher sales volume. Gross profit for our TechXtend segment in the second quarter of 2015 was $1.3 million compared to $1.5 million for the second quarter of 2014, representing a 14% decrease. This decrease for the TechXtend segment was primarily due to the decreased sales volume in the current year.
Gross profit margin (gross profit as a percentage of net sales) for the second quarter ended June 30, 2015 was 7.0% compared to 7.3% for the second quarter of 2014. Gross profit margin for our Lifeboat Distribution segment for the second quarter of 2015 was 6.3% compared to 6.6% for the second quarter of 2014. The decrease in gross profit margin for the Lifeboat Distribution segment was primarily caused by a change in our product mix with an increase in sales of lower margin products. Gross profit margin for our TechXtend segment for the second quarter of 2015 was 12.3% compared to 10.6% for the second quarter of 2014. The increase in gross profit margin for the TechXtend segment was primarily caused by the decrease in larger extended payment term sales transactions which typically carry lower margins.
Total selling, general, and administrative ("SG&A") expenses for the second quarter of 2015 were $4.4 million compared to $4.0 million for the second quarter of 2014, representing an increase of $0.5 million or 12%. This increase is primarily the result of an increase in sales related employee and employee related expenses. A large part of this increase is due to us hiring and creating a field sales team and a professional services team. We expect these investments to support and accelerate future sales and gross margin growth. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses for the second quarter of 2015 were 4.8% compared to 4.7% for the second quarter of 2014.
For the three months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $710,000 million or 34.3% of income, compared to $839,000 or 36.1% of income for the same period in 2014.
Net income and diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2015 were $1.4 million and $0.29, respectively, compared to $1.5 million and $0.31, respectively, for the second quarter of 2014.
On July 29, 2015, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $.17 per share of its common stock payable August 17, 2015 to shareholders of record on August 10, 2015.
