Second quarter net sales for fiscal 2011 increased 3% or $12,995 compared to fiscal 2010. The increase was due primarily to an increase in sales of existing products of approximately $24,000 in the analgesics, smoking cessation and feminine hygiene categories, along with new product sales of approximately $9,900, primarily in the gastrointestinal, cough/cold and feminine hygiene categories. In addition, second quarter fiscal 2011 net sales attributable to the acquisition of Orion were approximately $7,000. These combined increases were partially offset by a decline of $27,000 in sales of existing products in the cough/cold, gastrointestinal and contract manufacturing categories. The declines in the cough/cold and contract manufacturing categories were driven primarily by the timing of the H1N1 peak season relative to last year, along with throughput pressures in manufacturing. Sales of existing products in the U.K. and Mexico declined by approximately $300 due to unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Year-to-date net sales for fiscal 2011 increased 4% or $28,278 compared to fiscal 2010. The increase was due primarily to an increase in sales of existing products of approximately $31,000 in the analgesics and feminine hygiene categories, along with new product sales of approximately $27,100, primarily in the gastrointestinal, smoking cessation, cough/cold and feminine hygiene categories. In addition, year-to-date fiscal 2011 net sales attributable to the acquisition of Orion were approximately $14,300. These combined increases were partially offset by a decline of $37,000 in sales of existing products in the cough/cold, gastrointestinal, smoking cessation and contract manufacturing categories. The declines in the cough/cold and contract manufacturing categories were driven primarily by the timing of the H1N1 peak season relative to last year, along with throughput pressures in manufacturing. International sales of existing products declined by approximately $5,200.

Second quarter net sales for fiscal 2011 increased 119% or $72,448 compared to fiscal 2010. The increase was due primarily to additional sales of approximately $86,000 attributable to the fiscal 2010 acquisition of PBM. In addition, new product sales in the VMS category were approximately $1,800. These combined increases were partially offset by a decline of $15,300 in sales from existing products in the VMS category due primarily to the continued efforts around SKU rationalization. During the first quarter of fiscal 2011, one of the Companys key competitors within the infant formula product category experienced a serious quality issue that resulted in the removal of certain of this competitors products from the market. As a result of this issue, the Company experienced a moderate increase in second quarter fiscal 2011 net sales within the Nutritionals segment of approximately $12,000, but does not currently expect the increase to be significant beyond the second quarter.
