The decrease in operating income is primarily attributed to an increase in advertising expense, general and administrative expenses, and bad debt expense.  For the nine months ended June 30, 2014, income from operations increased by $1,241,000, or 15.6%, to $9,213,000, compared with the nine months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in operating income is primarily attributed to increased gross profits driven by our increased sales volumes as well as a reduction as a percentage of sales in payroll and bad debts expense.

Net income for the third quarter of fiscal year 2014 was $1,983,000 or $0.04 per diluted share, compared with net income of $2,014,000 or $0.04 per diluted share, for the third quarter of fiscal year 2013.

The decrease in cash for the nine months ended June 30, 2014, was primarily due to $3,945,000 of cash used in financing activities and, $310,000 of cash used in investing activities, partially offset by $2,066,000 of cash provided by operating activities.

"During our fiscal third quarter we made key investments in our organizational infrastructure to improve the efficiency and performance of our customer-facing staff. These expenditures resulted in higher general and administrative expenses in the quarter. We are investing in acquiring and serving our customers, which is central to our mission as a healthcare products provider and to achieving the maximum return on our advertising expenditures. We are pleased that we have grown sales and income over the last nine months and we will continue to make investments that support our growth and create efficiencies that improve our operating margins," commented Mark Libratore, President and CEO.  Stay up-to-date with current events by visiting Liberator Medical's website at www.liberatormedical.com or by joining the Company's E-Mail Alert List.
