The increase in the costs of goods sold and the decrease in gross margin was mainly driven by a different product mix that included more sales of lower margin products. Additionally, gross margin for Whole Milk Powder Formula decreased in 2009 compared to 2008 due to a 24% increase in the cost of raw milk.
Operating income in the first three months ended March 31, 2009 was $0.74 million, decrease of 34% compared to the same period last year. The decrease is mainly attributed to higher depreciation expenses due to equipment purchase and advertising expenses to support the growth.
