KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa., Feb. 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Medical Alarm Concepts Holding, Inc. (OTCQ:MDHI), manufacturer of the MediPendant™, the first fully-monitored medical alarm system that allows the user to speak and listen directly through the pendant, today provides investors with an update on current initiatives. The following comments are from Medical Alarm Concepts Holding, Inc. CFO and President, Ronald Adams.

"We have been working on several initiatives and feel very strongly about the success of these programs.  These are some of the highlights…

1. We are moving forward with our proposed merger with Carrollton, Texas based FirstFitness Nutrition Inc. Both companies are in the process of doing their due diligence and are working aggressively to complete this merger. FirstFitness has a more than 21-year history in the nutritional field and currently operates in all fifty U.S. states. Their marketing initiatives currently support thousands of independent distributors who sell the Company's products to tens of thousands of customers. Under the terms of the agreement, a new subsidiary named FirstFitness Nutrition will be created within Medical Alarm Concepts Holding, Inc. A new CEO for the combined operation will be named upon closing of the merger.  While the merger is moving forward at a rapid pace, we are working to ensure that everything is done properly so that the merger will be beneficial to all.  
2. Our plan to introduce the MediPendant™ in the nation's largest wholesale club is currently moving ahead as planned.  "There are several operational procedures processes to put in place to ensure orders are gathered and fulfilled properly," said Paul Green, VP of Sales and Marketing at Medical Alarm Concepts. Customer satisfaction is a priority for both organizations, so we will not launch until all customer service criteria is met. We feel confident that the program will be live within the next couple of months."
3. The results of media test for our newest commercial are very positive. We had a high volume of callers, some who ordered the service on the initial call, and a large number requesting additional information as well. "A medical alarm isn't typically an impulse purchase item," said Jennifer Loria, VP of Corporate Development at Medical Alarm Concepts. "So it is not unusual to see an increase in follow up calls and Internet traffic as much as 30 days after the initial airing. The good news is that based on our initial numbers, both Harrington MultiMedia and Medical Alarm Concepts feel comfortable with the results of the test, and plan to move forward." We will be airing the two minute commercial aggressively over the next few months. We are also working with Harrington on several other initiatives that will be announced shortly.

We strongly believe that these initiatives will significantly accelerate our growth. And we are also working on several international programs that we plan to announce shortly as well. I will continue to update you on our progress as often as possible."
