Our long-term growth strategy includes double-digit increases in net revenue and net income as we continue to execute our plans in multiple sales channels and with ongoing attention to our operating margins. The net revenue increase for the most recent quarter was specifically due to solid performance in our base business and core product lines. Sales in three of our strategic channels -- grocery, mass retail and pet specialty -- all grew substantially compared to the same period last year. Our sales are also being complemented by higher international sales which were up over 42% from the same quarter a year ago".

As we look toward 2014, our performance is expected to be driven through growth in our base business and further expansion of core product lines including the launch of new innovative products that will be industry trendsetters".
