Commenting on the dividend, Greg Gronau, President and CEO, said: "The Board determined that it was in the shareholders' best interests to pay a special cash dividend for 2011.”
“The dividend amount is us$ 0.1825 per share and reflects the company's continued profitability during 2011 and a strong balance sheet which included more than us$ 25 million in cash and marketable securities at September 30, 2011. This us$ 1.5 million dividend payment reflects our past success and does not impair our ability to pursue strategic initiatives."
