Menderes Akdag, President and CEO, commented: “It has been a challenging year, which can be attributed to increased customer acquisition costs and decreased new order sales due to increased competition, along with consumers giving greater consideration to price and a softer demand for some of the product categories we offer. To address the decline in sales we implemented a more aggressive pricing strategy combined with increased advertising, while continuing to expand our product offerings into pet supplies. Our cash flows from operations increased to $30.1 million for the year ended March 31, 2011 from $27.7 million for the prior fiscal year. During the quarter we bought back approximately 465,000 shares of our common stock for $7.0 million, and for the fiscal year we bought back approximately 791,000 shares of our common stock for $12.2 million. During the fiscal year, we increased our quarterly dividends to $0.125 per share, an increase of 25% from the prior year.“
