MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY:  Joseph Mannello, Chief Executive Officer of MYOS, commented, "We are pleased with the progress of our performance in the third quarter. It reflects many of the operational efficiencies that we have committed to throughout the year to sustainably growing the company.

"In addition, we have strengthened our product marketing efforts and continued to build awareness of our all-natural nutrition products in the fitness and wellness, college athletics, and active senior markets. In July, we participated at the IDEA World Convention, and educated its 250,000-member database of credentialed trainers, program/fitness directors, business owners, and nutrition professionals about our Qurr® products. Also, we announced last month our partnership with Pro Football Legends, the commercial marketing arm of the NFL Alumni, in its Optimal Bowl and Wellness Challenge.

"In early November, we announced the launch of our Collegiate Sports Marketing Platform through a sponsorship with IMG College, a division of IMG. IMG College represents more than 200 colleges across multimedia rights, licensing and sponsorships and will provide us with multi-channel platforms to connect with college athletes as well as sports fans at the national, regional, and local levels.

"We are optimistic about the outlook for our business, based on the encouraging feedback and repeat business generated by our customers and partners. We believe that the market recognizes that our all-natural nutrition products can deliver lean muscle-building and healthy muscles when combined with resistance training. The effectiveness of Fortetropin® in muscle health is not only being pursued in academic circles, but consumers are quickly becoming aware of its benefits as well. Combined with the marketing and awareness initiatives we've undertaken thus far, and the opportunities that lie ahead, we believe our actions have strengthened the business, which will enable growth and profitability in the future," concluded Mr. Mannello.
