We recognized equity income related to the joint ventures of $0.9 million and $1.0 million for the three month periods ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, respectively. These amounts are included in the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). The summarized financial information for the joint ventures for the periods indicated is as follows:
(Dollars in thousands) | Quarter Ended |
| March 31, 2015 |  | March 31, 2014 |
Net sales | $ | 10,978 |  |  | $ | 11,332 |  |
Gross profit | 3,445 |  |  | 3,652 |  |
Net income | 1,839 |  |  | 1,955 |  |
The effect of transactions between us and our unconsolidated joint ventures was accounted for on a consolidated basis. Receivables from and payables to joint ventures arise during the normal course of business from transactions between us and the joint ventures, typically from the joint venture purchasing raw materials from us to produce end products, which are sold to third parties, or from us purchasing finished goods from our joint ventures, which are then sold to third parties.
