Executive Summary
LEINER VITAMIN SALES LEAD 27% THIRD QUARTER NET REVENUES GAIN to $132.5 mil. in the period ended Dec. 31. Sales through nine months totaled $338.8 mil., representing a 30% increase over the comparable fiscal period a year ago. Leiner Health Products attributed 70% of the quarterly gain to "higher consumer demand" for vitamin products and the remaining 30% to the contribution of its Canadian private label vitamin and OTC drug subsidiary, Vita Health, which it acquired in January 1997.
