"We are pleased to report another strong quarter in which branded product sales growth exceeded 20%, gross margins increased nicely, and selling, general and administrative costs decreased as a percentage of sales," Frank A. Newman, Medical Nutrition's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said. "Our solid performance reflects increased usage across all branded product lines as well as greater penetration of the nursing home, hospital and dialysis markets.

"Our strategy to invest in an expanded sales force, continuous product improvement and new product development is clearly working. We continue to receive excellent support from clinicians and the new products we have introduced over the last couple of years are starting to make a material contribution to sales."

Just recently, Medical Nutrition created another new product category with its introduction of Diff-Stat(TM), which aids in the prevention of antibiotic associated diarrhea and C-diff, two potentially serious health risks affecting many elderly, nursing home residents. Diff-Stat(TM) continues Medical Nutrition's track record of developing solutions for the most costly and widespread ailments affecting long-term care residents.

"Our new product pipeline remains robust and will be a key contributor to our future growth," Mr. Newman said.
