Mr. Kamil: NBTY was started in 1971. We've been public since then, so we have a lot of years of experience. We are a marketer and manufacturer of nutritional supplements, and we have four channels of distribution. We have a North American retail operation, a European retail operation, an operation that we call Direct Response/E-Commerce, so it's a mail order operation. Lastly, we have a wholesale operation. In most of the fields we're in, we are the lead player, with the exception of North American retail operation. In the other three channels, we're the lead player.
TWST: And you have more than 22,000 products?
Mr. Kamil: Yes, but actually what it is, we carry about more than 2,000 formulas. When we say 22,000 products, I think a better explanation would be what we call stock-keeping units, or better known as SKUs. Because we have such a broad array of customers, we have different labels to supply those customers products.
