For the quarter, the company reported total revenue increased 6% to $6.53 million from $6.16 million in the prior-year quarter. The revenue increase was due to a 7% increase in product sales.

Income from operations was $3,714,537 against $2,744,916 a year ago. Income before taxes was $4,314,932 against $3,336,610 a year ago.

For the first nine months of fiscal 2013, the company's total revenue decreased 6% to $19.8 million from $21.0 million for the first nine months of the prior year. The decrease was due to a 40% decrease in contract research and development revenue. Net income was $8.72 million or $1.80 per diluted share compared to $8.28 million or $1.71 per diluted share for the first nine months of fiscal 2012.

The increase in net income was primarily due to increased gross profit margin partially offset by decreased contract R&D revenue. Operating cash flow was $8.42 million. Purchases of fixed assets were $1.61 million, primarily for production, equipment, and leasehold improvements.
