The Company recorded an increase of over 30% in net revenue over the first fiscal quarter of 2010, or approximately $2.5 million for the three month period ended December 31, 2009. For the three month period ended December 30, 2008, the Company recorded net revenue of approximately $578,000. The continued growth in revenue is due to the Company's on-going expansion into the network marketing distribution model.  The company also recorded approximately $2,044,000 of gross profit, maintaining its 83% gross margin from the first fiscal quarter 2010.

Total operating expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2009 were approximately $4.7 million as compared to operating expenses of approximately $4.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009. This slight increase is primarily attributable to the final settlement of the Zrii LLC litigation totaling $400,000, as well as anticipated increases in distributor compensation associated with increases in net revenue over the fiscal quarter, offset by approximately $530,000 of net reductions in sales and marketing, and general and administrative expenses.  

The Company recorded a net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2009 of approximately $681,000, or $0.01 per share, which included other income of approximately $1,999,000, primarily as the result of the change in fair value of the derivative warrant liability during the three months ended December 31, 2009 of approximately $2,741,000.
