BRENTWOOD, NY, February 1, 2011 – Medical Action Industries Inc. (NASDAQ/MDCI), a supplier of medical and surgical disposable products, today reported results for the fiscal 2011 third quarter ended December 31, 2010.

Net sales for the fiscal 2011 third quarter were $104,477,000 an increase of $31,301,000 or 43%, above the $73,176,000 in net sales reported for the comparable three months of fiscal 2010.

Net sales for the nine months ended December 31, 2010 were $257,221,000 an increase of $38,298,000 or 17%, from the $218,923,000 in net sales reported for the comparable nine months of fiscal 2010. Net income for the nine months ended December 31, 2010 was $3,269,000 or $0.20 per basic and diluted share, compared to the $11,647,000 or $0.72 per basic and diluted share, reported for the comparable nine months of fiscal 2010. Included in net income for the nine months ended December 31, 2010 were an extraordinary loss of $1,455,000 or $0.05 per basic and diluted share (net of applicable tax benefit), due to weather-related water damage at an off-site warehouse used to store finished goods inventory and one time transaction costs of $1,335,000 or $0.05 per basic and diluted share (net of applicable tax benefit) related to the acquisition of AVID Medical, Inc.

“Our management team remains focused on completing the integration of AVID Medical, Inc.,” said Chief Executive Officer and President, Paul D. Meringolo. “While there remains work to be done to fully execute our integration strategies, we are very pleased with our progress. We have completed the consolidation of our sales teams and will finish integration of manufacturing operations during our fiscal fourth quarter. We are now engaged in activities focused on growing sales of custom procedure trays, as well as our existing product lines through our fully staffed sales and marketing teams.”

“While market conditions and customer ordering patterns continue to be unsettled, we remain optimistic that we will provide positive results over the next few quarters”, Meringolo said. “The ongoing, broad based market rally in commodities is placing pressure on the cost of our raw materials, principally cotton and resin, and is adversely effecting our gross margins. We are responding to these rising commodity prices by increasing selling prices where market conditions and our supply contracts permit, managing raw material costs and controlling our operating expenses.”
