Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the interim periods are unaudited and include the accounts of Company. Intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.
Basis of Presentation of InterimFinancial *** Statements***
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the interim periods are unaudited and include the accounts of Integrated BioPharma, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”). The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with Rule8-03 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and therefore donot include information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). However, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and operating results for the periods presented have been included. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto, together with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form10-K for the fiscal year ended* June 30, 2024 (“Form10*-K”), as filed with the SEC. The* June 30, 2024balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements, but doesnot* include all disclosures required by GAAP. The preparation of the unaudited condensed financial statements in conformity with these accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the period. Ultimate results could differ from the estimates of management. The results of operations for thethree andsix months ended* December 31, 2024arenot* necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year ending* June 30, 2025*or for any other period.

Significant Accounting Policies
Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes product sales revenue, the prices of which are fixed and determinable, when title and risk of loss have transferred to the customer, when estimated provisions for product returns, rebates, charge-backs and other sales allowances are reasonably determinable, and when collectability is reasonably assured. Accruals for these items are presented in the consolidated financial statements as reductions to sales. The Company’s net sales represent gross sales invoiced to customers, less certain related charges for discounts, returns, rebates, charge-backs and other allowances. Cost of sales includes the cost of raw materials and all labor and overhead associated with the manufacturing and packaging of the products. Gross margins are affected by, among other things, changes in the relative sales mix among our products and valuation and/or charge off of slow moving, expired or obsolete inventories. To perform revenue recognition for arrangements within the scope of ASC606, the Company performs the followingfive steps:
| ● | identification of the promised goods or services in the contract; |
| ● | determination of whether the promised goods or serves are performance obligations including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; |
| ● | measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; |
| ● | allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations based on estimated selling prices; and |
| ● | recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation. A performance obligation is a promise to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account in ASC 606. |
**Income Taxes.The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in the tax rate is recognized in income or expense in the period that the change is effective. Tax benefits are recognized when it is probable that the deduction will be sustained. A valuation allowance is established when it is more likely thannot that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset willnot be realized.
For thethree months ended* December 31, 2024and2023,* the Company had federal income tax expense of $46 and a federal income tax benefit of $76, respectively and state income tax expense, net of approximately $23 and $6, respectively. For thesix months ended* December 31, 2024and2023,* the Company had a federal income tax expense of $236 and a federal tax benefit of $70, respectively and state income tax expense, net of approximately $78 and $13, respectively.
***Leases.***The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, other current liabilities, and operating lease liabilities on its consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property and equipment, current portion of long term debt, and long-term debt obligation on the condensed consolidated statement of financial condition.
7
Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most of our leases donot provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. Our lease terms* may*include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for separately. For certain equipment leases, such as vehicles, the Company accounts for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.
***Earnings Per Share.***Basic earnings per common share amounts are based on weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share amounts are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, plus the incremental shares that would have been outstanding upon the assumed exercise of all potentially dilutive stock options, subject to anti-dilution limitations using the treasury stock method.
The following options and potentially dilutive shares for stock options werenot included in the computation of weighted average diluted common shares outstanding as the effect of doing so would be anti-dilutive for thethree andsix months ended* December 31, 2024and2023:*
| Three Months Ended · Six Months Ended | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| December 31, | December 31, | |||
| 2024 | 2023 | 2024 | 2023 | |
| Anti-dilutive stock options | 2,268,600 | 4,996,850 | 2,568,600 | 4,996,850 |
| Total anti-dilutive shares | 2,268,600 | 4,996,850 | 2,568,600 | 4,996,850 |
Accounting PronouncementsNot Yet Adopted**
In* November 2023,FASB issued ASU2023*-07 - Segment Reporting (Topic280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires public entities with a single reportable segment to provide all the disclosures required by this standard and all existing segment disclosures in Topic280 on an interim and annual basis, including new requirements to disclose significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM and included within the reported measure(s) of a segment's profit or loss, the amount and composition of any other segment items, the title and position of the CODM, and how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of a segment's profit or loss to assess performance and decide how to allocate resources. The guidance is effective for our annual period beginning* July 1, 2024,*and interim periods thereafter, applied retrospectively with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In* December 2023,the FASB issued ASU2023*-09 - Income Taxes (Topic740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires public entities to provide greater disaggregation within their annual rate reconciliation, including new requirements to present reconciling items on a gross basis in specified categories, disclose both percentages and dollar amounts, and disaggregate individual reconciling items by jurisdiction and nature when the effect of the items meet a quantitative threshold. The guidance also requires disaggregating the annual disclosure of income taxes paid, net of refunds received, by federal (national), state, and foreign taxes, with separate presentation of individual jurisdictions that meet a quantitative threshold. The guidance is effective for the Company's annual periods beginning* July 1, 2025*on a prospective basis, with a retrospective option, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Note4. Senior Credit Facility**
As of* December 31, 2024and June 30, 2024,*the Company hadno debt outstanding under its Senior Credit Facility.
On* May 9, 2024,the Company, MDC, AgroLabs, IHT, IHT Properties Corp. (“IHT Properties”) and Vitamin Factory (collectively, the “Borrowers”) amended the Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement (the “Amended Loan Agreement”) with PNC Bank, National Association as agent and lender (“PNC”) and the other lenders party thereto entered into on June 27, 2012,as amended on February 19, 2016,** May 15, 2019,** June 28, 2019and March 16, 2023.*
The Amended Loan Agreement provides for a total of $5,000 in senior secured financing (the “Senior Credit Facility”) as follows: (i) discretionary advances (“Revolving Advances”) based on eligible accounts receivable and eligible inventory in the maximum amount of $5,000 (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Senior Credit Facility is secured by all assets of the Borrowers, including, without limitation, machinery and equipment, and real estate owned by IHT Properties. Revolving Advances bear interest at PNC’s Base Rate (7.50% and 8.50% as of* December 31, 2024and June 30, 2024)*or the Term SOFR Rate plus the SOFR Adjustment. The Term SOFR Rate, for any day, shall be equal to the secured overnight financing rate as administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (or a successor administrator of the secured overnight financing rate). The SOFR Adjustment is defined as 10 basis points (0.10%).
9
Upon and after the occurrence of any event of default under the Amended Loan Agreement, and during the continuation thereof, interest shall be payable at the interest rate then applicable plus 2%. The Senior Credit Facility matures on* May**MD15,* 2026 (the “Senior Maturity Date”).
The principal balance of the Revolving Advances is payable on the Senior Maturity Date, subject to acceleration, based upon a material adverse event clause, as defined, subjective accelerations for borrowing base reserves, as defined or upon the occurrence of any event of default under the Amended Loan Agreement or earlier termination of the Amended Loan Agreement pursuant to the terms thereof.
The Revolving Advances are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Amended Loan Agreement and are made in aggregate amounts at any time equal to the lesser of (x) $5,000 or (y) an amount equal to the sum of: (i) up to 85%, subject to the provisions in the Amended Loan Agreement, of eligible accounts receivables (“Receivables Advance Rate”), plus (ii) up to the lesser of (A)75%, subject to the provisions in the Amended Loan Agreement, of the value of the eligible inventory (“Inventory Advance Rate” and together with the Receivables Advance Rate, collectively, the “Advance Rates”), (B)85% of the appraised net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory (as evidenced by the most recent inventory appraisal reasonably satisfactory to PNC in its sole discretion exercised in good faith) and (C) the inventory sublimit in the aggregate at anyone time (“Inventory Advance Rate” and together with the Receivables Advance Rate, collectively, the “Advance Rates”), minus (iii) the aggregate Maximum Undrawn Amount, as defined in the Amended Loan Agreement, of all outstanding letters of credit, minus (iv) such reserves as PNC* may*reasonably deem proper and necessary from time to time.
In connection with the Senior Credit Facility, the following loan documents were executed: (i) a Stock Pledge Agreement with PNC, pursuant to which the Company pledged to PNC the shares of common stock that it owned of iBio, Inc.; (ii) a Mortgage and Security Agreement with PNC with IHT Properties; and (iii) an Environmental Indemnity Agreement with PNC.
Note5. Significant Risks and Uncertainties**
(a) Major Customers. In thethree months ended* December 31, 2024and2023,* approximately 79% and 89%, respectively, of consolidated net sales were derived fromtwo customers. Thesetwo customers are in the Company’s Contract Manufacturing Segment and represented approximately 60% and 26% and 70% and 23% in thethree months ended* December 31, 2024and2023,* respectively of the Contract Manufacturing Segment net sales. In thesix months ended* December31,2024* and2023, approximately 82% and 90% of consolidated net sales, respectively, were derived from the sametwo customers and net sales to thesetwo customers represented approximately 64% and 23% in thesix months ended* December 31, 2024and 73% and 21% of net sales in thesix* months ended* December 31, 2023,respectively of the Contract Manufacturing Segment net sales. Accounts receivable from thesetwo major customers represented approximately 61% and 84% of total net accounts receivable as of December 31, 2024and June 30, 2024,respectively. Two other customers in the other Nutraceutical Segment, whilenot* significant customers of the Company’s consolidated net sales, represented approximately 58% and 17% and 22% and 40% of net sales of the Other Nutraceutical Segment in thethree months ended* December 31, 2024and2023,* and 51% and 22% and 28% and 41%, of net sales of the Other Nutraceutical Segment in thesix months ended* December31,2024* and2023, respectively.
.
The loss of any of these customers could have an adverse effect on the Company’s operations. Major customers are those customers who account for more than10% of net sales.
(b) Other Business Risks. Approximately 77% of the Company’s employees are covered by a union contract and are employed in its New Jersey facilities. The contract was renewed effective* September 1, 2022and will expire on August 31, 2026.*
10
The Company has seen a negative impact in its margins due to inflation and tightened labor markets. The Company* may**not* be able to timely increase its selling prices to its customer resulting from price increases from its suppliers due to various economic factors, including tariffs and other inflationary costs, labor and shipping costs and its own increases in shipping, labor and other operating costs. The Company’s results of operations* mayalso be affected by economic conditions, including tariffs and other inflationary pressures, that can impact consumer disposable income levels and spending habits, thereby reducing the orders it may*receive from the Company’s significant customers.
The Company continues to experience minimal supply chain disruptions relating to fuel refinery and transportation issues as it pertains to shipping. These issuesfirst arose as result of the COVID-19 pandemic and other geo-political events. Additionally, the East Coast port strike threatened the supply of goods and continued to threaten up to the settlement date of* January 8, 2025.*In the interim U.S. shippers steered clear of the East and Gulf Coast ports amid worries that the dockworkers at these ports would go on strike again.
During thefirst calendar quarter2022, the war in Ukraine affected the Company’s customer’s business operations in Ukraine and Russia, resulting in the cancelation of some future orders. The war resulted in the imposition of sanctions by the United States, the United Kingdom, and the European Union, that affect the cross-border operations of businesses operating in Russia. In addition, many multinational companies ceased or suspended their operations in Russia. Therefore, the ability to continue operations in Russia by the Company’s customers is uncertain.
Additionally, the current Israel-Hamas war in the Middle East could negatively impact the sales and margins of the Company. Certain customers sell into Israel and the Company sources certain raw materials from Israel. If the Israel-Hamas war carries on for a significant time frame, it could have a negative impact on the sales and margins of the Company if the Company is unable to replace these sales with other sales and/or obtain the same raw materials at substantially the same price as currently paid.

Information related to related party transactions are disclosed in Note6(a). Leases for related party lease transactions.
Note8. Equity Transactions and Stock-Based Compensation**
In* December 2024,*the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of up to 490,000 stock options to Company officers and employees. The Company issued 490,000 stock options with an exercise price ranging from $0.31 to $0.34, vesting over three years, with expiration terms often years from the date of grant.
Additionally, in* August 2024,the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of 200,000 stock options (50,000 each) to the non-executive directors with an exercise price of $0.18 and $0.20, vesting overone year,25% at the end of each quarter ending September 30, 2024,** December 31, 2024,** March 31, 2025and June 30, 2025.*
For thethree andsix months ended* December 31, 2024and2023,* the Company incurred stock-based compensation expense of $43 and $61, and $96 and $133, respectively. The Company expects to record additional stock-based compensation of $288 over the remaining vesting periods of approximatelyone tothree years for all non-vested stock options.
14
The Company used the following assumptions to calculate the fair value of the stock option grants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model on the measurement date during thesix months ended* December 31, 2024:*
| Risk Free Interest Rate | 3.96% to 4.23% |
|---|---|
| Volatility | 105.6% to 131.7% |
| Term | 7.5 to 10 years |
| Dividend Rate | 0.00% |
| Closing Price of Common Stock | 0.188 to0.3434 |
The Company calculates expected volatility for a stock-based grant based on historic daily stock price observations of its common stock during the period immediately preceding the grant that is equal in length to the expected term of the grant. The expected term of the options is estimated based on the Company’s historical exercise rate and forfeiture rates are estimated based on employment termination experience. The risk free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury yields for securities in effect at the time of grants with terms approximating the term of the grants. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option valuation model are highly subjective, and can materially affect the resulting valuations.

Certain statements set forth under this caption constitute “forward-looking statements.” See “Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” on page 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional factors relating to such statements. The following discussion should also be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and Notes thereto included herein and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024.
The Company is engaged primarily in the business of manufacturing, distributing, marketing and sales of vitamins, nutritional supplements and herbal products. The Company’s customers are located primarily in the United States and Luxembourg.
Business Outlook
Our future results of operations and the other forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation”, involve a number of risks and uncertainties—in particular, the statements regarding our goals and strategies, new product introductions, plans to cultivate new businesses, future economic conditions, revenue, pricing, gross margin and costs, competition, the tax rate, and potential legal proceedings. We are focusing our efforts to improve operational efficiency and reduce spending that may have an impact on expense levels and gross margin. In addition to the various important factors discussed above, a number of other important factors could cause actual results to differ significantly from our expectations. See the risks described in “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024.
For the six months ended December 31, 2024, our net sales from operations increased by $1,807 to approximately $26,231 from approximately $24,424 in the six months ended December 31, 2023, or approximately 7%. Our net sales in the Contract Manufacturing Segment increased by $1,153 or approximately 5%, and our Other Nutraceuticals Segment increased by $654. Net sales increased in our Contract Manufacturing Segment primarily due to increased sales volumes to customers other than our two major customers, of $1,675, offset by a net decrease of $521 from our two major customers. Net sales in the six months ended December 31, 2024 were higher by approximately $654 from the six months ended December 31, 2023 in our Other Nutraceuticals Segment, primarily due to increased sales for MDC Warehousing and CII in the amounts of $542 and $118, respectively. The increase was from a new major customer in this segment, which represented 51% in the six months ended December 31, 2024 compared to no sales in the three months ended December 31, 2023. This customer replaced a customer that had represented 14% in the six months ended December 31, 2023. The loss of any of these customers could have a significant adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
For the six months ended December 31, 2024, we had operating income of approximately $692, an increase of approximately $1,198 from the operating loss of approximately $506 for the six months ended December 31, 2023. Our profit margins increased from approximately 5.5% of net sales in the six months ended December 31, 2023 to approximately 9.7% of net sales in the six months ended December 31, 2024, primarily as a result of the increased sales of $1,807 with the cost of sales increasing $617. Our consolidated selling and administrative expenses were approximately the same, $1,850 and $1,858 in the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, a decrease of $8.
Our revenue from our two significant customers in our Contract Manufacturing Segment is dependent on their demand within their respective distribution channels for the products we manufacture for them. As in any competitive market, our ability to match or beat other contract manufacturers pricing for the same items may also alter our outlook and the ability to maintain or increase revenues. We will continue to focus on our core businesses and push forward in maintaining our cost structure in line with our sales and expanding our customer base. We believe that this focus will produce a reduction of the reliance on our two significant customers in our fiscal year ending June 30, 2025.
We have seen a negative impact in our margins due to inflation and tightened labor markets. We may not be able to timely increase our selling prices to our customers resulting from price increases from our suppliers due to various economic factors, including tariffs and other inflationary costs, labor and shipping costs and our own increases in shipping, labor and other operating costs. Our results of operations may also be affected by economic conditions, including tariffs and other inflationary pressures, that can impact consumer disposable income levels and spending habits, thereby reducing the orders we may receive from our significant customers.
We continue to experience minimal supply chain disruptions relating to fuel refinery and transportation issues as it pertains to shipping. These issues first arose as result of the COVID-19 pandemic and other geo-political events. Additionally, the East Coast port strike threatened the supply of goods and continued to threaten up to the settlement date of January 8, 2025. In the interim U.S. shippers steered clear of the East and Gulf Coast ports amid worries that the dockworkers at these ports would go on strike again.
During the first quarter of calendar 2022, the war in Ukraine affected our customer’s business operations in Ukraine and Russia, resulting in the cancelation of some future orders. The war resulted in the imposition of sanctions by the United States, the United Kingdom, and the European Union, that affect the cross-border operations of businesses operating in Russia. In addition, many multinational companies ceased or suspended their operations in Russia. Therefore, the ability to continue operations in Russia by our customers is uncertain.
Additionally, the current Israel-Hamas war in the Middle East could negatively impact our sales and margins. Certain of our customers sell into Israel and we source certain raw materials from Israel. If the Israel-Hamas war carries on for a significant time frame, it could have a negative impact on our sales and margins if we are unable to replace these sales with other sales and/or obtain the same raw materials at substantially the same price as currently paid.
Critical Accounting Estimates
There have been no changes to our critical accounting estimates in the three months ended December 31, 2024. Critical accounting estimates made in accordance with our accounting policies are regularly discussed by management with our Audit Committee. Those estimates are discussed under “Critical Accounting Estimates” in our “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2024.

| Total net sales | $26,231 | $24,424 | $1,807 | 7.4% | |
In the six months ended December 31,2024 and 2023, a significant portion of our consolidated net sales, approximately 82% and 90%, were concentrated among two customers in our Contract Manufacturing Segment, Life Extension and Herbalife. Life Extension and Herbalife represented approximately 64% and 23% and 70% and 23%, respectively, of our Contract Manufacturing Segment’s net sales in the six months ended December 31,2024 and 2023, respectively.
The increase in net sales of approximately $1,807 in the six months ended December 31, 2024 was the result of increased sales in both of our segments. Our Contract Manufacturing Segment increase of $1,153, from the six months ended December 31, 2023 was primarily from existing and new customers other than our two major customers of $1,675, which was offset by a net decrease of $521 with our two major customers. The increase in our Other Nutraceuticals Segment of $654, was primarily due to MDC Warehousing replacing one of its major customers that represented 14% in the six months ended December 31, 2023, with one that represented 51% in the six months ended December 31, 2024. This segment's two major customers represented 51% and 22% in the six months ended December 31, 2024 compared to 0% and 43% in the three months ended December 31, 2023.
The loss of any of these customers could have a significant adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
Cost of sales. Cost of sales increased by approximately $559 to $23,689 for the six months ended December 31, 2024, as compared to $23,072 for the six months ended December 31, 2023 or approximately 2.7%. Cost of sales decreased as a percentage of sales to 90.3% for the six months ended December 31, 2024 as compared to 94.5% for the six months ended December 31, 2023. The increase of $617 in the cost of goods sold amount is from increased manufacturing costs of $700 and $126 in our Contract Manufacturing Segment and Other Nutraceuticals Segment, respectively, offset by a decrease of $209 in other cost of goods in our Contract Manufacturing Segment. The decrease in the cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales, was primarily the result of the increase in net sales in both segments used to offset the increased manufacturing costs and the cost of sales in the Other Nutraceutical Segment.
Selling and Administrative Expenses. Our selling and administrative expenses were approximately the same, $1,850 and $1,858, in the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, a decrease of $8. As a percentage of sales, net, selling and administrative expenses were approximately 7.1% and 7.6% in the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We had an increase in professional fees of $43, from increased legal fees of $29, audit fees of $8 and other consulting fees of $6, offset by a decrease in stock compensation expense of $36 and all other selling and administrative expenses of $15.
Other income (expense), net. Other income (expense), net was approximately $(3) for the six months ended December 31, 2024 compared to $8 for the six months ended December 31, 2023, and was composed of:

Income tax expense (benefit), net. For the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had a state income tax provision of approximately $78 and $13, respectively and federal income tax expense of $236 and a federal income benefit of $70, in the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Net income (loss). Our net income for the six months ended December 31, 2024 was approximately $375 compared to a net loss of approximately $441 in the six months ended December 31, 2023. The change of approximately $816 was primarily the result of increased operating income of $1,198, offset by the increase income tax expense of $371.

Seasonality
The nutraceutical business can be seasonal. Due to our current customer base in our contract manufacturing segment, we have not experienced a seasonality impact on our sales volumes as we had seen in the past. In the past we had experienced some seasonality in the December quarters based on the demands of our customer base at the time.
The Company believes that there are non-seasonal factors that may influence the variability of quarterly results including, but not limited to, general economic and industry conditions that affect consumer spending, changing consumer demands and current news on nutritional supplements. Accordingly, a comparison of the Company’s results of operations from consecutive periods is not necessarily meaningful, and the Company’s results of operations for any period are not necessarily indicative of future periods.
