    or 53% of sales;
--  Selling, General and Administrative expenses decreased to $1,990,400
    or 48% of sales, compared to $2,061,800 or 62% of sales;
--  Net cash provided by operating activities was $382,400 compared to
    $44,600 in the same quarter a year ago. The increase is primarily due to
    increased sales performance in the quarter;
--  Net income was $125,000 or $0.01 per share compared to a net loss of
    $183,700 or $(0.01) per share; and

Six months ended July 31 Fiscal 2010 vs. 2009

--  Branded product sales increased 15% to $6,912,000 from the $5,991,600;
--  Total sales increased 14% to $7,551,800 from $6,636,500, on higher
    branded product sales offset by slightly lower private label sales;
--  Gross profit increased to $3,989,000, or 53% of sales from $3,533,400
    or 53% of sales;
--  Selling, General & Administrative expenses decreased to $3,996,200 or

--  Net cash provided by operating activities was $366,400 compared to
    $503,700. The decrease is primarily due to an approximately $200,000
    federal tax refund received in the six months ended April 30, 2008 and an
    increase of approximately $144,000 in bonus payments made during the period
    related to performance during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2009,
    offset by increased sales performance; and
--  Net loss was $18,900 or $(0.00) per share compared to a net loss of
    $305,100 or $(0.02) per share.
    

"Our solid performance for the quarter reflects increased usage across all branded product lines as the result of increased product line breadth and greater penetration of the nursing home, hospital and dialysis clinic markets. Our business continues to benefit from excellent support from clinicians and the growing body of evidence attesting to the efficacy of our products," said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Frank A. Newman.

"Our investments in research leading to the development of independent clinical data continue to be an important driver of our growth in both revenue and market share. This, in addition to our new product development and the performance of our product line relative to competing products, sets us apart," Mr. Newman said. "As before, we expect these ongoing efforts to continue to result in the introduction of a significant new product every 10 - 12 months."

Earlier this week Medical Nutrition USA announced the introduction of a new formulation of an existing product, Fiber-Stat® with Prune Juice Concentrate. The new additive, Prune Juice Concentrate, is rich in antioxidants and promotes natural bowel regulation. That, combined with Fiber-Stat's 15 grams of soluble fiber and prebiotic fructo-oliosaccarides (FOS) offers a triple-action formula that is not only unique but highly effective in the treatment of constipation and low fiber intake in elderly and frail patients.
