The Company recorded net revenues of $11.5 million and a net loss of ($11) million, or ($0.19) per share, for its year ended June 30, 2010. For its year ended June 30, 2009, the Company recorded net revenues of $4.1 million and a net loss of ($9.1) million or ($0.23) per share. The Company is also presenting selected unaudited quarterly financial data, to highlight the Company’s progress in growing revenues while managing cost of goods and operating expenses.

“During the past fiscal year we have made significant progress under the network marketing model, seeing our net revenue increase by approximately 177% compared to our last fiscal year,” stated David W. Brown, President & CEO. “All of our significant revenue markers, distributor enrollment, preferred customer enrollment, autoship orders, and spot revenues are up, as our distributor ranks grow and our strategy of identifying, training, and supporting distributor leaders as they build large, strong sales organizations appears to be working well.”

“Our quarterly revenue increased from $1.9 million in Q1 to over $4.4 million in Q4, while we simultaneously reduced our total operating expenses from $4.6 million in Q1 to just under $4 million in Q4. This reduced our quarterly operating loss from over $3 million in Q1, compared to under $300 thousand in Q4,” stated Carrie E. Carlander, CFO. “The funds raised in fiscal 2010 allowed us to rapidly grow our business, providing us a platform, as we enter fiscal year 2011, that we believe will enable us to begin generating sustainable cash flows and operating profits.”
