"We are pleased with the progress that was achieved in full-year 2007," commented Michael S. McDevitt, Chief Executive Officer of Medifast, Inc. "Throughout the year we made strategic infrastructure and operational investments that will better position the company for consistent future growth. We believe that a number of those investments have already begun producing results, which positively impacted revenues during the fourth quarter of 2007 and will continue to yield results in 2008 and beyond."

"Our multi-channel distribution model, that is designed to properly align the consumer's needs for success, with the proper level of program support is gaining traction and we are beginning to see improved operating results in a number of our distribution channels. We are particularly pleased with the strong performance of our direct sales segment, Take Shape for Life; which posted a 23% revenue increase on a year-over-year basis. That growth was driven by the dedicated support of our 1,850 active health coaches; which represents a 54% increase in the number of active health coaches compared to the end of 2006."

"We also experienced significant growth in our Medifast Weight Control Centers, where annual revenues increased by 37% and same-store sales for centers that have been open for 12 months or longer were up 37% in the fourth quarter of 2007 versus the fourth quarter of 2006. In December 2007, Medifast Franchise Systems received approval to sell Medifast Weight Control Center franchises and the opportunity is now available in 43 states nationwide. On February 18, 2008 the Company announced it sold the rights to open four clinics in the Greater Baltimore Metropolitan Area.
