Edward Smolyansky, CFO commented, "We are extremely pleased at our first quarter 2008 results. Sales were again very strong, and we really started to see the benefits of decreasing milk cost, which began in March. These decreases have since continued in April, and even more so in May, and we hope that this trend continues throughout the year. As far as revenues go, in April we had a couple of weeks where we surpassed the $1 million dollar a week threshold, and that is certainly an exciting event for a company such as ours." Smo
