The Company generated $455 thousand in cash from operations in the first quarter of 2012, a measurable improvement of the prior year period where $462 thousand was used in operating activities. Inventory increased to $661 thousand at the end of the first quarter from $59 thousand at the end of fiscal 2011, in support of the Company�s recently launched domestic sales business model.

Stewart Wallach, CHDT�s President and CEO, commented, �During the quarter, we expanded our approach on how quickly we deliver product to our customers by implementing a domestic distribution program which includes warehousing inventory for expected customer requirements that we can deliver in an �on demand� manner for shelf stocking in their stores. This change increased the number of retail outlets that will carry our products by approximately 4,800 stores. We believe this approach will result in additional revenue growth over the course of 2012, and as a result, we expect our revenue stream will be more consistent over time.�
