The growth in NAI's revenues and income from operations demonstrates that our commitment to quality manufacturing standards, effective science-based products and enduring partnerships are beginning to show the kind of financial results we hope to achieve."
CFO Randell Weaver said, "We have negotiated an extension of our amended and restated line of credit while we attempt to complete an improved long term financing package.

During our fiscal year ended June 30, 2002, we reduced our total debt by more than $2.5 million and increased working capital by approximately $3.7 million. We continue to believe NAI is positioned both operationally and financially to take advantage of numerous growth opportunities."
