Net sales for fiscal year 2013 increased by $8,168,000, or 13.4%, to $69,111,000, compared with sales of $60,943,000 for fiscal year 2012 due to the Company's continued direct response advertising campaign to acquire new customers and its emphasis on customer service to maximize the reorder rates for its recurring customer base.


Income from operations for fiscal year 2013 increased by $7,452,000, or 173.0%, to $11,759,000, compared with fiscal year 2012. The increase in operating income was attributed to increased gross profits driven by the Company's increased sales volumes and lower shipping costs, as well as a reduction in operating expenses for fiscal year 2013.


Net income for fiscal year 2013 was $7,078,000, or $0.14 per diluted share, compared with net income of $2,501,000, or $0.05per diluted share, for fiscal year 2012.


The Company had cash of $12,453,000 at September 30, 2013, compared with $3,326,000 at September 30, 2012, an increase of $9,127,000. The increase in cash during fiscal year 2013 was the result of $13,633,000 of cash generated by the Company's operating activities, partially offset by $686,000 of cash used in investing activities and $3,820,000 of cash used in financing activities.


Other Significant Events for Fiscal Year 2013

On November 20, 2013, the Company's common stock was listed and began trading on the NYSE MKT exchange, increasing visibility and shareholder liquidity.

·

During fiscal year 2013, the Company declared three quarterly cash dividends totaling $0.08 per common share for its shareholders. 


Mark Libratore, the Company's President and CEO, commented, "Our financial results for fiscal year 2013 were a direct result of a shift in our business model at the beginning of the year to manage the levels of our direct response advertising spend to maximize profitability and cash flows. We generated $11.8 million in operating income and $13.6 million in cash flows from our operations. As a result of the improvements in our operating margins and cash flows during fiscal year 2013, we initiated a quarterly cash dividend and have paid $4.2 million in cash dividends to our shareholders.






"We will continue to manage the levels of our direct response advertising spend to maximize profitability and cash flows for fiscal year 2014. We continue to explore potential acquisition targets during fiscal year 2014 that allow us to acquire new customers at competitive rates and are accretive to our earnings.
