We are once again pleased with the overall strength of our sales in the quarter. Increased demand for our diagnostic products as well as steady demand for our consumables products drove a solid overall increase in sales for the fourth quarter. A stronger U.S. dollar negatively impact sales by $130,000 during the fourth quarter and $257,000 for the full year 2010.
As previously announced, in addition to the quarterly cash dividend of $.04 per share, the Company issued a special, one-time, cash dividend of $1.00 per share in the fourth quarter of 2010. Our strong balance sheet enabled us to pay this dividend to our shareholders while still preserving significant capacity to invest in strategic growth opportunities as we ended the year with approximately $6 million in long-term debt.
We are pleased with our overall results for the year. We made continued progress in executing on the key elements of our strategy to drive internal growth through new product development, enhancing customer relationships and improving operating efficiencies. As a result, we believe the Company is well-positioned to capitalize on future growth opportunities.
The company also announced that on January 31, 2011 the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.04 per share, payable by the Company on March 15, 2011 to all shareholders on record on February 15, 2011.
