“During the second quarter of 2011 we built upon the positive momentum generated throughout a successful first quarter of the year,” stated Bond CEO, John S.

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, we generated a profit of $491,717 as compared to a loss of $(1,020,842) for the six months ended June 30, 2010.


“With regards to the investment community, our EPS for the six months ended June 30, 2011 improved to a $0.01/share profit as compared to a loss of $(0.02)/share for the six months ended June 30, 2010. We anticipate that investors will take notice of the positive and profitable direction in which we have moved the company during the first half of the year,” continued Mr. Wilson.


Bond announced an impressive 56% increase in revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, to $3,169,476 from $2,027,925, as compared to the same period ended June 30, 2010.

“Our revenue increase is attributable to sales growth in our existing product lines at NDS, driven primarily by an expansion in the number of GNC franchise locations carrying our products, the number of products approved for sale in such locations by GNC, and the successful launch of several new products during the applicable period,” further stated Mr. Wilson.


Revenue growth was accompanied by a corresponding increase in the Company’s cost of goods sold, however, total gross margin increased to 35.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from 30.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2010, driven primarily by the strategic decision to focus on higher margin NDS products.


In addition, the Company continued to benefit during the most recently completed quarter from ongoing cost management and efficiency maximization initiatives.
