Natural Alternatives International, Inc. Announces First Quarter Results

    SAN MARCOS, Calif., Oct. 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Natural Alternatives
International, Inc. ("NAI") (Nasdaq: NAII), a leading formulator and
manufacturer of customized nutritional supplements, today announced net income
of $412,000 or $0.06 per diluted share on net sales of $21.7 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2005.
    First quarter net sales decreased 4% to $21.7 million from $22.7 million
for the comparable quarter last year.  The reduction in net sales resulted
primarily from the decrease in private label contract manufacturing sales.
Income from operations decreased to $678,000 from $1.4 million in the
comparable quarter last year.  Net income decreased to $412,000 or $0.06 per
diluted share from $852,000 or $0.13 per diluted share for the comparable
quarter last year.
    As of September 30, 2005, NAI had cash and working capital of $5.6 million
and $15.3 million compared to $1.9 million and $14.4 million at June 30, 2005,
respectively.  Cash flows from operating activities for the first quarter were
$3.8 million.
    President Randell Weaver commented, "An increase in revenue from our
largest customer was offset by a reduction in revenue from our second largest
and other contract manufacturing customers.  As we anticipate the decline in
revenue to continue in the second quarter of fiscal 2006, we are responding
appropriately to reduce our cost structure and remain profitable.  We continue
to identify and evaluate acquisition opportunities that could increase product
lines, expand distribution channels or enhance manufacturing capabilities."
    CEO Mark LeDoux added, "We have made a considerable investment in our
recent facility expansion and TGA recertification in an effort to develop new
relationships with large, quality oriented contract manufacturing customers.
We believe this strategy is beginning to be rewarded.  We have received
initial purchase orders from two new customers who are leaders in the direct
sales marketing channel.  We expect to fill the initial orders in our fiscal
third and fourth quarters and are optimistic our relationships with these new
customers will continue to grow."
