mance of our Management team in continuing to advance the clinically proven Medifast products and protocols and helping millions of Americans combat obesity."

The Company's balance sheet remains strong with stockholders' equity of $41 million and working capital of $15.9 million as of March 31, 2009. Cash and cash equivalents increased by $4.5 million to $6.3 million at the end of the quarter as a result of operating cash flows, improvements in inventory and the decrease of capital expenditures.

Mr. McDevitt concluded, "As we have discussed in the past, we are beginning to see tremendous leverage in our business model as our sales continue to increase. Being completely vertically integrated is allowing us to improve our gross and operating margins as fixed overhead is absorbed. We look forward to continuing on the leverage achieved during the first quarter."
