        Dividends declared per share   $ 0.12   $ 0.08   50 %
                           

    Net sales for fiscal year 2014 increased by $5,458,000, or 7.9%, to $74,569,000, compared with sales of $69,111,000 for fiscal year 2013. The increase in sales was primarily due to our continued emphasis on our direct response advertising campaign to acquire new customers and our emphasis on customer service to maximize the reorder rates for our recurring customer base.

    Income from operations for fiscal year 2014 increased by $950,000, or 8.1%, to $12,709,000, compared with fiscal year 2013. The increase in operating income was primarily attributed to increased gross profits driven by our increased sales volumes, as well as reductions in payroll costs as a percentage of net sales.

    Net income for fiscal year 2014 was $7,802,000, or $0.15 per diluted share, compared with net income of $7,078,000, or $0.14 per diluted share, for fiscal year 2013.

    The Company had cash of $12,261,000 at September 30, 2014, compared with $12,453,000 at September 30, 2013, a decrease of $192,000. The decrease in cash during fiscal year 2014 was due to $5,528,000 of cash provided by operating activities, offset by $360,000 of cash used in investing activities and $5,360,000 of cash used in financing activities.

    Other Significant Events for Fiscal Year 2014

    • Our shares were selected to join the Russell Global, Russell 3000 and Russell Microcap Indexes
    • The average annual order value for recurring customers increased to $1,982 per customer

    • During fiscal year 2014, the Company declared four quarterly cash dividends totaling $0.1225 per common share for its shareholders. The dividend for shareholders of record September 26, 2014 was increased 8.3% to $0.0325 per common share

    Mark Libratore, the Company's President and CEO, commented, "I am pleased to report that we were able to grow sales and profits in fiscal 2014. During the year we made investments in critical business systems, staff skills and financial controls while returning over $6.3 million to our shareholders. In fiscal 2014 we expanded the scope and reach of our sales and marketing activities. We increased our participation in commercial insurance plans and launched a sales initiative to healthcare professionals. In fiscal 2015 we will work to grow our customer base by leveraging our direct response advertising. We will continue to evaluate potential acquisitions that are accretive to earnings and assess new products and services that fit our model."
