COLUMBIA, Md., June 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Martek Biosciences Corporation (Nasdaq: MATK) today announced its financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2008. Revenues for the second quarter were $90.7 million, up 18% from $76.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2007. Net income was $9.2 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2008 compared with $4.9 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, in last year's second quarter.

Commenting on the quarter, Chief Executive Officer Steve Dubin said, "Martek's strong second quarter results reflect the continued execution of the Company's business plan. Martek's core infant formula business grew, especially overseas, and solid revenue increases were seen in non-infant formula markets. Interest from food, beverage and supplements companies in our nutritional oils continues to grow which should lead to further expansion of our non-infant formula business. In addition, advancements continue in the development of both new applications for life'sDHA(TM) as well as new products to support Martek's long-term growth."
