Liquidity and Capital Resources
Historically, the Company's principal use of cash has been to fund ongoing operations, which was financed primarily through the proceeds of sale of equity and debt securities. However, during the nine months ended June 30, 2009, the Company generated $698,742 of positive cash flow as a result of operating activities compared to a use of $1,506,116 of cash during the nine months ended June 30, 2008.
The Company had $3,488,557 in cash as of June 30, 2009, an increase of $2,315,539 from September 30, 2008. This increase in cash at June 30, 2009, was due to the Company's closing on a $2,500,000 convertible debt obligation in October 2008 plus cash generated in operating activities, partially offset by the purchase of property and equipment of $369,390 during the nine months ended June 30, 2009.
Results of Operations
The Company's revenue was $6,950,415, up $4,506,015 or 184%, for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $2,444,400 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, due to a substantial advertising campaign to obtain new mail-order customers. For the nine months ended June 30, 2009, revenue was $18,119,489, up $12,820,330 or 242%, compared to $5,299,159 for the nine months ended June 30, 2008, as a result of the advertising campaign.
The Company's gross profit was $4,444,546, up $2,889,829 or 186%, for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $1,554,717 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, and $11,694,209, up $8,319,935 or 247%, for the nine months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $3,374,274 for the nine months ended June 30, 2008, as a result of the Company's increased revenues.
The Company's operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2009 were $3,372,069, or 49% of revenue, compared to $1,606,869, or 66% of revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The Company's operating expenses for the nine months ended June 30, 2009, were $9,749,571, or 54% of revenue, compared to $4,537,208, or 86% of revenue, for the nine months ended June 30, 2008. Incremental expenses were less as compared to incremental revenues. The increases in operating expenses are primarily attributed to increased spending levels for employees, advertising, professional fees, rent, and allowance for bad debts to support the increase in revenues.
The Company's interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2009, was $267,232 compared to $167,049 for the three months ended June 30, 2008.

The increase in interest expense is primarily a result of two convertible debt offerings during the second and third quarters of fiscal year 2008 and a third convertible debt offering in October 2008.
The Company's net income was $793,889 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, an increase of $1,011,724 compared to a net loss of ($217,835) for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The Company's net income was $1,134,558 for the nine months ended June 30, 2009, an increase of $2,576,564 compared to a net loss of ($1,442,006) for the nine months ended June 30, 2008.
