(\"NAI\") (Nasdaq: NAII), a leading formulator, manufacturer and marketer of customized nutritional supplements, today announced net income of $2.3 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, on net sales of $39.7 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2021 ended September 30, 2020 compared to net income of $0.01 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, in the first quarter of our prior fiscal year. Net income during the first quarter of fiscal 2021 also included a discrete tax benefit of $0.9 million.\nNet sales during the three months ended September 30, 2020 increased $10.5 million, or 36.1%, from $29.2 million recorded in the comparable prior year period.
