We are very pleased with the revenue growth for both the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2017 and the profitability for the fourth quarter. Our strategic decision to focus on the development of larger accounts that will reward our efforts with improved margins, along with the introduction of several new products to major grocery retailers and club store chain customers, is delivering the operational results we expect."

Mr. Wolf continued, "The fact that our products are all-natural and made with the highest quality ingredients is translating into greater acceptance by our customers. As these shipments continue in the first quarter, combined with our expanded offerings, we believe the Company will continue along the recent growth trajectory. We look forward to discussing the fiscal 2017 financial results in further detail on our year-end conference call."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company uses Cash EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company defines Cash EBITDA as earnings before income taxes, depreciation and amortization plus any non-cash stock payments for expenses. The Company believes that the use of Cash EBITDA is useful to investors and other users of its financial statements in evaluating the Company's operating performance because it provides them with an additional tool to compare business performance across companies and across periods. The Company uses Cash EBITDA in conjunction with traditional GAAP operating performance measures as part of its overall assessment of its performance, for planning purposes, including the preparation of its annual operating budget, and to evaluate the effectiveness of its business strategies. Management does not place undue reliance on Cash EBITDA as its only measure of operating performance. Cash EBITDA should not be considered as a substitute for other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP.
