We are once again pleased with the overall strength of our sales in the quarter.

A stronger U.S. dollar negatively impact sales by $130,000 during the fourth quarter and $257,000 for the full year 2010.
As previously announced, in addition to the quarterly cash dividend of $.04 per share, the Company issued a special, one-time, cash dividend of $1.00 per share in the fourth quarter of 2010. Our strong balance sheet enabled us to pay this dividend to our shareholders while still preserving significant capacity to invest in strategic growth opportunities as we ended the year with approximately $6 million in long-term debt.
We are pleased with our overall results for the year. We made continued progress in executing on the key elements of our strategy to drive internal growth through new product development, enhancing customer relationships and improving operating efficiencies. As a result, we believe the Company is well-positioned to capitalize on future growth opportunities.
