Press Release Source: Skinny Nutritional Corp. On Monday April 23, 2012

BALA CYNWYD, PA -- (Marketwire - 04/23/12) - SKINNY NUTRITIONAL CORP. (OTC.BB.SKNY – NEWS), today announced net revenues of $5,660,930 (net of slotting fees of $368,132 and billbacks of $832,046) for the year ended December 31, 2011. This represents a decrease of $1,266,178, or 18% , as compared to revenues of $6,927,108 (net of slotting fees of $349,490 and billbacks of $1,129,007) for the year ended December 31, 2010. The Company sold approximately 786,000 cases of Skinny Water® for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to approximately 990,000 cases for the same period in 2010, a decrease of 21%, (1 case = twelve 16 ounce bottles).

These decreases are due primarily to the capital constraints resulting in inventory gaps and a decrease in in-store activity, as well as lowering the wholesale price to more adequately include the effects of bill backs on a continuing basis. Direct sales to retailers were $1,577,289 as compared to $847,177 for the prior year period up 86%. Sales to our “DSD” network were $4,083,641 in 2011 compared to $6,079,931 during 2010.

Overall cash loss was reduced by approximately $1,259,000 during 2011. Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $7,665,855 inclusive of non-cash expenses of $4,390,130, mostly attributable to stock based compensation expense for employee options and warrants, amortization of deferred financing costs and stock issued for services, as compared to $6,914,269, inclusive of non-cash expenses of $2,379,425, for the same period last year.

During 2011, we obtained significant chain authorizations with retailers, and Skinny products have been authorized for sale with retail accounts which our management believes aggregate approximately 14,000 stores, including mass merchandisers, supermarkets, drug stores and club stores. This is an increase of 97% from the approximately 7,100 chain stores reported at the end of 2010. Skinny Water is currently sold through 50 distributors across the United States.

Michael Salaman, Chairman and CEO, stated “Now that we have the national footprint through our expanded chains and our regional DSD network, we expect that the recently signed manufacturing and license agreement with Cott’s Cliffstar subsidiary will allow Skinny to capitalize on Cott’s inventory management and purchasing capabilities, which should even out the gaps that have limited our sales growth during 2011. Our 2012 marketing and sales plan is to focus our marketing and sales spending in core markets that include Boston, New York City, Philadelphia, Washington-Baltimore, Los Angeles, Miami, Chicago and San Francisco, while adding national accounts in grocery, mass, drug throughout the country.”

Mr. Salaman continued, “We are continuing our efforts to build value around our Skinny Water brand, and today have numerous trademarks in the healthy beverage and snack food categories. We will continue to seek the acquisition of other Skinny trademarks and slogans in beverage, snack and spirits categories in order to further add to our trademark portfolio and enhance the “Skinny” brand. According to recent Gallup polls, over 50% of all adult consumers in the U.S. may be dieting at any given time. The Company believes that consumers today are transitioning away from sugar based beverages and empty calories and that Skinny Nutritional Corp’s, Skinny Water line of water products are well positioned to benefit from this growing market trend and deliver the best tasting zero calorie products. Further, we intend to continue our efforts to control our selling, marketing and administrative expenses as part of our overall cost containment measures, as we strive to build shareholder value.”
