Natural Alternatives International, Inc. Announces First Quarter Results

                                 Highlights
    - First quarter fiscal 2008 revenue of $25.5 million, an increase of
    $360,000, or 1.4%, from $25.2 million in the same quarter last year.
- First quarter fiscal 2008 net income of $423,000, an increase of $36,000,
            or 9%, from $387,000 in the same quarter last year.

    SAN MARCOS, Calif., Nov. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Natural
Alternatives International, Inc. ("NAI") (Nasdaq: NAII), a leading
formulator, manufacturer and marketer of customized nutritional
supplements, today announced revenue of $25.5 million and net income of
$423,000 or $0.06 per diluted share for the three months ended September
30, 2007.
    Revenue of $25.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008
represented an increase of $360,000 from the same quarter last year. The
increase was primarily due to a $848,000, or 4%, increase in private label
contract manufacturing sales partially offset by a $488,000, or 12%,
decrease in branded products sales.
    Net income in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 increased to $423,000 or
$0.06 per diluted share from $387,000 or $0.05 per diluted share in the
comparable quarter last year. Income from operations in the first quarter
of fiscal 2008 decreased to $670,000 from $832,000 in the comparable
quarter last year.
    Cash flows used in operating activities for the three months ended
September 30, 2007 were $578,000. As of September 30, 2007, NAI had cash
and working capital of $3.2 million and $16.6 million, respectively,
compared to $4.9 million and $16.2 million, respectively, as of June 30,
2007. As of September 30, 2007, we had $8.2 million available under our
working capital line of credit.
    CEO Mark LeDoux stated, "We are generally pleased with our financial
results for the first quarter and are also pleased with the progress we
have made in new business development. The investments we have made in our
facility along with our TGA certification are being well received by
potential customers both internationally and domestically. Our Dr. Cherry
Pathway to Healing(R) product line continued to be negatively impacted by
the cessation of Dr. Cherry's weekly television program. We intend to
continue working with Dr. Cherry to evaluate alternative marketing programs
and revise marketing plans to replace the weekly television program."
    President Randell Weaver commented, "Looking forward, we expect reduced
net sales of approximately $3 million to $5 million, in the aggregate, in
both private label contract manufacturing and branded products in the
second quarter of fiscal 2008, as compared to the second quarter in fiscal
2007. The anticipated reduction in second quarter revenues is primarily
attributable to a single contract manufacturing customer. We are in
discussions with several potential new private label contract manufacturing
customers and expect to begin shipments to at least some of these customers
in the second half of fiscal 2008."
