The Company reported:
- For the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2021, sales decreased $616,448 (17.1%) to $2,997,338 from $3,613,786 from the comparable period last year. The Company reported a net loss of $456,838, or $0.19 per basic and diluted share compared to a net loss of $3,492,290, or $1.51 per basic and diluted share for the comparable period of the previous year.
- For the 12 months ended March 31, 2021, sales increased $2,717,127 (18.4%) to $17,520,151 versus $14,803,024 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020.

Harvey Grossblatt, President and Chief Executive Officer said, "We are pleased that the Company returned to profitability for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 despite our fiscal fourth quarter being negatively impacted by severe supply chain challenges, including a global shortage of shipping containers, and congestion at West Coast port facilities, which impacted our ability to receive inventory and ship orders. These challenges have improved somewhat during the fiscal first quarter of our fiscal year ending March 31, 2022, and the Company was able to start shipping backorders to our customers. Our previous year-end results included a charge of $2,472,620 from the previously reported sale of our 50% interest in the Hong Kong Joint Venture, as well as our share of the Hong Kong Joint Venture's net loss in the amount $1,369,655."
