SAN MARCOS, CALIF, January 22, 2007 /PRNewswire/ — Natural Alternatives International, Inc. (“NAI”) (Nasdaq-GM: NAII), a leading formulator, manufacturer and marketer of customized nutritional supplements, today announced revenue of $24.0 million and net income of $554,000 or $0.08 per diluted share for the three months ended December 31, 2006.

Revenue of $24.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 represented an increase of $4.1 million from the same quarter last year. The increase was due to a $2.7 million, or 16%, increase in private label contract manufacturing sales and a $1.4 million increase in revenue from branded products sales resulting primarily from our acquisition of Real Health Laboratories, Inc.

Net income in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 improved to $554,000 or $0.08 per diluted share from $461,000 or $0.07 per diluted share in the comparable quarter last year. Income from operations in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 improved to $965,000 from $843,000 in the comparable quarter last year.

Cash flows from operating activities for the six months ended December 31, 2006 were $9.6 million. As of December 31, 2006, NAI had cash and working capital of $3.2 million and $14.7 million, respectively, compared to $2.2 million and $13.2 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2006. As of December 31, 2006, we had $5.1 million available under our working capital line of credit.
