NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 AND 2009
(UNAUDITED)
These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes should be read in
conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes of LifeVantage Corporation as of and
for the year ended June 30, 2010 included in our annual report on Form 10-K.
Note 1 Organization and Basis of Presentation:
The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by us,
without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC). In the opinion of the management of LifeVantage Corporation (LifeVantage or the
Company), these interim Financial Statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal
recurring adjustments, that are considered necessary for a fair presentation of our financial
position as of September 30, 2010, and the results of operations for the three month periods ended
September 30, 2010 and 2009 and the cash flows for the three month periods ended September 30, 2010
and 2009. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year or for any
future period. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to our current
period presentation.
The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes included herein are presented as
required by Form 10-Q, and do not contain certain information included in our audited financial
statements and notes for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 pursuant to the rules and regulations
of the SEC. For further information, refer to the financial statements and notes thereto as of and
for the year ended June 30, 2010, and included in the Annual report on Form 10-K on file with the
SEC.
Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
Consolidation
The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of the Lifevantage Inc. and our
wholly-owned subsidiaries Lifeline Nutraceuticals Corporation (LNC), LifeVantage de México, S. de
R.L. de C.V. (Limited Liability Company), Importadora LifeVantage, S. de R.L. de C.V. (Limited
Liability Company), and Servicios Administrativos para la Importación de Productos Body & Skin,
S.C. All inter-company accounts and transactions between the entities have been eliminated in
consolidation.
Translation of Foreign Currency Statements
We translate the financial statements of our foreign entities by using the current exchange
rate. For assets and liabilities, the exchange rate at the balance sheet date is used. For any
investment in subsidiaries and retained earnings, the historical exchange rate is used. For
revenue, expenses, gains, and losses, an appropriately weighted average exchange rate for the
period is used.

Table of Contents
Use of Estimates
Management has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of
revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
to prepare these consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value measurement requirements are embodied in certain accounting standards applied in
the preparation of our financial statements. Significant fair value measurements include our
embedded derivative liabilities. See Notes 4 and 8 Convertible Debentures and Common Stock and
Warrant Offerings for disclosures related to our common stock and warrant financing arrangements.
The fair value hierarchy is defined below:
Fair value hierarchy:
(1) Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and
liabilities.
(2) Level 2 inputs are inputs which include quoted prices for similar assets and
liabilities in active markets and inputs that are observable for the assets or liabilities,
either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
(3) Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs and significant to the fair value measurement.
The financial instruments level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of
any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The summary of fair values of financial instruments is as follows at September 30, 2010:

Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider only our monetary liquid assets with original maturities of three months or less
as cash and cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable at September 30, 2010 consist primarily of credit card receivables
including a percentage holdback by the credit card processor. The holdback balance at September 30,
2010 was $333,338. Based on the Companys verification process for customer credit cards and
historical information available, management has determined that an allowance for doubtful accounts
on credit card sales related to its direct and independent distributor sales as of September 30,
2010 is not necessary. No bad debt expense has been recorded for the three months ended September
30, 2010 or the year ended June 30, 2010.
Investments
In 2008 we invested in auction rate preferred securities of closed-end funds (ARPS) to
maximize interest income. We have classified these investments as available for sale in the
balance sheet.

Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined using the
first-in, first-out method. We have capitalized payments to our contract product manufacturer for
the acquisition of raw materials and commencement of the manufacturing, bottling and labeling of our product.

placement agents in conjunction with our convertible debenture financings. Amortization of these
costs commence upon the closing date and continue for the life of the convertible debenture

Revenue Recognition
We ship the majority of our product directly to the consumer via UPS and receive substantially
all payment for these sales in the form of credit card charges. Revenue from direct product sales
to customers is recognized upon passage of title and risk of loss to customers when product is
shipped from the fulfillment facility. Sales revenue and estimated returns are recorded when
product is shipped. Our return policy is to provide a 30-day money back guarantee on orders placed
by customers. After 30 days, we do not issue refunds to direct sales customers for returned
product. In the network marketing sales channel, we allow terminating distributors to return
unopened unexpired product that they have purchased within the prior twelve months, subject to
certain consumption limitations. To date, returns from terminating distributors have been
negligible. We have experienced overall monthly returns of approximately 3% of sales. Our return
rate for sales directly to consumers, which excludes sales through our network marketing channel is
approximately 1% of sales based on historical experience and our return rate for sales through our
network marketing channel is approximately 4% of sales based upon our historical experience and
network marketing industry experience. As of September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2010, our reserve
balance for returns and allowances was $447,434 and $343,937, respectively.

Table of Contents
Income/(Loss) per share
Basic income or loss per share is computed by dividing the net income or loss by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share
are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average common shares and potentially dilutive
common share equivalents. For the three month period ended September 30, 2010 the effects of
approximately 3.5 million common shares issuable pursuant to options granted through our 2007
Long-Term Incentive Plan are not included in computations because their effect was anti-dilutive.
For the three month period ended September 30, 2009 the effects of approximately 5.5 million common
shares issuable pursuant to the convertible debentures and warrants issued in our private placement
offerings, compensation based warrants issued and options granted through our 2007 Long-Term
Incentive Plan are not included in computations because their effect was anti-dilutive.

Stock-Based Compensation
In certain circumstances, we issued common stock for invoiced services and in other similar
situations to pay contractors and vendors. Payments in equity instruments to non-employees for
goods or services are accounted for using the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable:
(a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued.
Derivative Financial Instruments
We do not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign
currency risks. However, we have entered into certain other financial instruments and contracts,
such as freestanding warrants and embedded conversion features on convertible debt instruments that
are not afforded equity classification. These instruments are required to be carried as derivative
liabilities, at fair value, in our consolidated financial statements.
Derivative financial instruments consist of financial instruments or other contracts that
contain a notional amount and one or more underlying variables (e.g. interest rate, security price
or other variable), require no initial net investment and permit net settlement. Derivative
financial instruments may be free-standing or embedded in other financial instruments. Further,
derivative financial instruments are initially, and subsequently, measured at fair value and
recorded as liabilities or, in rare instances, assets.
We estimate fair values of derivative financial instruments using various techniques that are
considered to be consistent with the objective measurement of fair values. In selecting the
appropriate technique, we consider, among other factors, the nature of the instrument, the market
risks that it embodies and the expected means of settlement. For less complex derivative
instruments, such as freestanding warrants, we generally use the Black Scholes Merton option
valuation technique, adjusted for the effect of dilution, because it embodies all of the requisite
assumptions (including trading volatility, estimated terms, and risk free rates) necessary to fair
value these instruments. For embedded conversion features we generally use a lattice technique
because it contains all the requisite assumptions to value these features. Estimating fair values
of derivative financial instruments requires the development of significant and subjective
estimates that may, and are likely to, change over the duration of the instrument with related
changes in internal and external market factors. In addition, option-based techniques are highly
volatile and sensitive to changes in the trading market price of our common stock. Since derivative
financial instruments are initially and subsequently carried at fair values, our income or loss
will reflect the volatility in changes to these estimates and assumptions.
Convertible Debt Instruments
We issued convertible debt in September and October 2007, November and December 2009 and
January and February 2010. We review the terms of convertible debt and equity instruments that we
issue to determine whether there are embedded derivative instruments, including the embedded
conversion options that are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as derivative
instrument liabilities. Also, in connection with the sale of convertible debt and equity
instruments, we may issue freestanding options or warrants that may, depending on their terms, be
accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities, rather than as equity. For option-based
derivative financial instruments, we use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value the
derivative instruments. For embedded conversion derivatives we use a lattice model to value the
derivative.

Table of Contents
When the embedded conversion option in a convertible debt instrument is not required to be
bifurcated and accounted for separately as a derivative instrument, we review the terms of the
instrument to determine whether it is necessary to record a beneficial conversion feature. When
the effective conversion rate of the instrument at the time it is issued is less than the fair
value of the common stock into which it is convertible, we recognize a beneficial conversion
feature, which is credited to equity and reduces the initial carrying value of the instrument.
When convertible debt is initially recorded at less than its face value as a result of
allocating some or all of the proceeds received to derivative instrument liabilities, to a
beneficial conversion feature or to other instruments, the discount from the face amount, together
with the stated interest on the convertible debt, is amortized over the life of the instrument through periodic charges to
income, using the effective interest method.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the
financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
measured using statutory tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those
temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets
and liabilities from a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the
effective date of the change. As of September 30, 2010 we have determined that we do not have an
income tax liability and we have a full valuation allowance booked against our tax asset.
Effective January 1, 2009, we account for any uncertainty in income taxes by recognizing the
tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position
will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the
position. We measure the tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position
based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate
resolution. The application of income tax law is inherently complex. As such, we are required to
make certain subjective assumptions and judgments regarding income tax exposures. The result of
the reassessment of our tax positions did not have an impact on the consolidated financial
statements.
Concentration of Credit Risk
We disclose significant concentrations of credit risk regardless of the degree of such risk.
Financial instruments with significant credit risk include cash and investments. At September 30,
2010, we had $1,988,040 in cash accounts at one financial institution, approximately $114,346 in
foreign bank accounts and $154,674 in an investment management account at another financial
institution.
Effect of New Accounting Pronouncements
We have reviewed recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and do not
believe any such pronouncements will have a material impact on our financial statements.

Note 3 Investments
In 2008 we invested in auction rate preferred securities of closed-end funds (ARPS) to
maximize interest income. We considered investments in these instruments as available for sale in
accordance with relevant accounting guidance.
ARPS have historically have been liquid but have been adversely affected by the broader
national liquidity crisis. We entered into an agreement with our investment advisor, Stifel
Nicolaus, to repurchase 100% of the remaining ARPS at par on or prior to June 30, 2012. The
schedule for repurchase of remaining ARPS by Stifel Nicolaus over the next three years is as
follows:
(a) The greater of 10 percent or $25,000 to be completed by June 30, 2011;
(b) The balance of outstanding ARPS, if any, to be repurchased by June 30, 2012.
We have established a line of credit to borrow against 80% of these investments so that sales
of these securities would not have to occur in order to fund our operating needs. The interest on
amounts borrowed has been approximately the same as the interest being earned from the underlying
securities. Management classified 80% or $340,000 of our investments as short term. The remaining
20% or $85,000 of our investments that may not be available in the current year are classified as
long-term.
As of September 30, 2010, in light of the plan for repurchase and the repurchases made during
the year, management has determined that there has not been a change in the fair value of the
securities owned. We have not recorded any impairment related to these investments, as management
does not believe that the underlying credit quality of the assets has been impacted by the reduced
liquidity of these investments. In addition, no unrealized gain or loss has been recorded on these
assets. We consider the inputs to valuation of these securities as level 2 inputs in the fair value
hierarchy.
Note 4 Convertible Debentures
2007
On September 26, 2007 and October 31, 2007, we issued convertible debentures in a private
placement offering that bear interest at 8 percent per annum and have a term of three years. The
convertible debentures are convertible into common stock at $0.20 per share during their term and
at maturity, at our option, may be repaid in full or converted into common stock at the lower of
$0.20 per share or the average trading price for the 10 days immediately prior to the maturity date
on September 26, 2010 and October 31, 2010. We intend to convert the remaining debentures upon
maturity. We also issued warrants to purchase shares of our common stock at $0.30 per share in the
private placement offering. We allocated the proceeds received in the private placement to the
convertible debentures and warrants to purchase common stock based on their relative estimated fair
values. The discount from the face amount of the convertible debentures represented by the value
initially assigned to any associated warrants and derivative liabilities is amortized over the
period to the due date of each convertible debenture, using the effective interest method. We
redeemed all warrants issued in the offering in fiscal 2009. As of September 30, 2010 all amounts
are classified as current and all amounts are due in fiscal 2011.

As of September 30, 2010 the convertible debentures are convertible into 800,000 shares with a
value as of September 30, 2010 of $400,000 which exceeds the principal value by $240,000.
We determined that the conversion option in the convertible debentures did not satisfy the
definition of being indexed to our own stock, as an anti-dilution provision in the convertible
debentures reduces the conversion price dollar for dollar if we issue common stock with a price
lower than the conversion price of the convertible debentures. Based on authoritative guidance effective on July 1, 2009
the embedded conversion option in the convertible debentures was a liability as of July 1, 2009. We
have bifurcated the embedded conversion option from the host contract and accounted for this
feature as a separate derivative liability. As of September 30, 2010 the embedded conversion option
estimated to be $240,019 is reflected in short-term derivative liabilities on the accompanying
consolidated balance sheet.
In addition, we have reviewed the terms of the convertible debentures to determine whether
there are any other embedded derivative instruments that may be required to be bifurcated and
accounted for separately as derivative instrument liabilities and have determined that either they
did not meet the criteria or were immaterial in amount.
Effective interest associated with the convertible debentures totaled $224,052 and $103,453
for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Effective interest is
accreted to the balance of convertible debt until maturity. Simple interest paid totaled $16,943
and $23,409 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. A total of
$256,568 was paid for commissions and expenses incurred in the 2007 private placement offering
which is being amortized into interest expenses over the term of the convertible debentures on a
straight-line basis. As of September 30, 2010 we have recorded accumulated amortization of 2007
deferred offering costs of $230,734.
2009 and 2010
Between November 2009 and February 2010, we issued convertible debentures with an aggregate
principal amount of $4,995,000 that bear interest at 8 percent per annum and have a term of two
years. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2010, these amounts are recorded as long-term convertible
debt on the accompanying balance sheet. We received aggregate net cash proceeds of $4,035,687,
after deducting placement fees of $464,313 and taking into account the conversion of an outstanding
note payable as described below. The convertible debentures are convertible into common stock at
$0.20 per share during their term. Subject to meeting certain equity conditions, we have the option
to redeem the outstanding principal plus accrued interest for cash at any time during the term of
the debentures. In conjunction with these convertible debentures we issued warrants to purchase an
aggregate of 14,997,449 shares common stock with an exercise price of $0.50 per share and warrants
to purchase an
17
Table of Contents
aggregate of 2,035,860 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $0.20 per share.
In addition, a note payable to a related party in the amount of $500,000 was converted to a
convertible debenture. We allocated the proceeds received in the private placements to the embedded
derivative and warrants based on their estimated fair values. Details of the issuances are in the

As of September 30, 2010 the convertible debentures are convertible into an aggregate of
18,905,525 shares with a value as of September 30, 2010 of $9,452,762 which exceeds the principal
value by $5,671,657.
Based on authoritative guidance effective on July 1, 2009 we have concluded that the embedded
conversion option in the convertible debentures is required to be bifurcated from the host contract
and accounted for this feature as a separate derivative liability, at fair value, in our financial
statements. In addition, we determined that the warrants issued in conjunction with the convertible
debentures are required to be carried as derivative liabilities, at fair value, in our financial
statements, due to certain anti-dilution provisions. At of September 30, 2010, the embedded
conversion option is estimated to be $4,708,023 and the warrant derivative is estimated to be
$2,505,245 and both are recorded in long-term liabilities.
In addition, we have reviewed the terms of the convertible debentures to determine whether
there are any other embedded derivative instruments that may be required to be bifurcated and
accounted for separately as derivative instrument liabilities and have determined that either they
did not meet the criteria or were immaterial in amount.
Effective interest associated with the convertible debentures totaled $953,768 for the three
month period ended September 30, 2010. Effective interest is accreted to the balance of convertible
debt until maturity. Simple interest paid was $97,019 for the three month period ended September
30, 2010. We incurred an aggregate of $1,138,660 in commissions and expenses in connection with the
2009 private placement offerings, $464,313 of which was paid in cash and the balance of which was
reflected in the issuance of warrants with a fair market value of $674,347. The $1,138,660 in
commissions and expenses is being amortized into interest expense over the term of the convertible
debentures. As of September 30, 2010 we have recorded accumulated amortization of deferred offering
costs of $579,393.
Note 5 Line of Credit
We established a line of credit to borrow up to 80% of our investments. As of
September 30, 2010, we can borrow up to $600,000. The line is collateralized by our auction rate
securities. The interest rate charged through September 30, 2010, 3.00 percent, is 0.25 percentage
points below the published Wall Street Journal Prime Rate, which was 3.25% percent as of September
30, 2010. At September 30, 2010, we have borrowed approximately $433,985, including accrued
interest, from the line.

Note 6 Stockholders Equity
During the three months ended September 30, 2010 we issued 8,145,875 shares of common stock as
a result of conversions of convertible debentures.
Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of preferred shares. However, as of
September 30, 2010, none have been issued nor have any rights or preferences been assigned to the
preferred shares by our Board of Directors.
Note 7 Stock-based Compensation
We adopted and the shareholders approved the 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the Plan),
effective November 21, 2006, to provide incentives to certain eligible employees who are expected
to contribute significantly to our strategic and long-term performance objectives and growth. A
maximum of 10,000,000 shares of our common stock can be issued under the Plan in connection with
the grant of awards. Awards to purchase common stock have been granted pursuant to the Plan and
are outstanding to various employees, officers, directors, independent distributors and Scientific
Advisory Board (SAB) members at prices between $0.21 and $0.76 per share, vesting over one- to
three-year periods. Awards expire in accordance with the terms of each award and the shares
subject to the award are added back to the Plan upon expiration of the award. As of September 30,
2010, awards for the purchase of an aggregate of 8,473,731 shares of our common stock are
outstanding.
Payments in equity instruments for goods or services are accounted for under the guidance of
share based payments, which require use of the fair value method. We have adjusted the expense
for the anticipated forfeitures. Compensation based options totaling 58,000 and 756,000 were
granted for the three month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
For the three months ended September 30, 2010, stock based compensation of $115,157 was
reflected as an increase to additional paid in capital. Of the stock based compensation for the
three months ended September 30, 2010, $85,560 was employee related and $29,597 was non-employee
related. For the three months ended September 30, 2009 stock based compensation of
$802,248 was reflected as an increase to additional paid in capital. Of the stock based
compensation for the three months ended September 30, 2009, $438,867 was employee related and
$363,381 was non-employee related.
Compensation expense was calculated using the fair value method during the three month periods
ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The
following assumptions were used for options and warrants granted during the three month periods
ended September 30, 2010 and 2009:
1. | risk-free interest rates of between 1.33 and 1.62 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 3.52 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2009; | ||
2. | dividend yield of -0- percent; | ||
3. | expected life of 3 to 6 years; and | ||
4. | a volatility factor of the expected market price of our common stock of between 128 and 129 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 337 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2009. |

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the
federal securities laws. We urge you to carefully review our description and examples of
forward-looking statements included in the section entitled Cautionary Note Regarding
Forward-Looking Statements at the beginning of this report. Forward-looking statements speak only
as of the date of this report and we undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking
statements to reflect new information, events or circumstances after the date of this report.
Actual events or results may differ materially from such statements. In evaluating such statements,
we urge you to specifically consider various factors identified in this report, including the
matters set forth below in Part II, Item 1A of this report, any of which could cause actual results
to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements. The following
discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial statements
and related notes, as well as the Financial Statements and related notes in our Annual report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 and the risk factors discussed therein.
Overview
This managements discussion and analysis reviews the financial condition and results of
operations of LifeVantage Corporation (the Company, LifeVantage, or we, us or our) and
its wholly-owned subsidiaries Lifeline Nutraceuticals Corporation (LNC), LifeVantage de México,
S. de R.L. de C.V. (Limited Liability Company), Importadora LifeVantage, S. de R.L. de C.V.
(Limited Liability Company), and Servicios Administrativos para la Importación de Productos Body &
Skin, S.C.
We are a dietary supplement company that manufactures, markets, distributes, and sells
Protandim, a patented dietary supplement intended to increase the bodys natural antioxidant
protection by inducing multiple protective enzymes including superoxide dismustase (SOD) and
catalase (CAT) through network marketing and direct-to-consumer sales channels. We also sell our
LifeVantage TrueScience Anti-Aging Cream, a skin care product, through the same channel.
Our revenue depends significantly upon the number and productivity of our independent
distributors. Independent distributors market and sell our products and recruit new distributors
based on the distinguishing benefits and innovative characteristics of our products. We have
developed a distributor compensation plan and other incentives designed to motivate our independent
distributors to market and sell our products and to build sales organizations. If we experience
delays or difficulties in introducing compelling products or attractive initiatives to independent
distributors, this can have a negative impact on our revenue and harm our business.

Table of Contents
We primarily sell a single product, Protandim, and in June 2009 we began selling our
LifeVantage TrueScience Anti-Aging Cream (LifeVantage TrueScience) which incorporates the
ingredients in Protandim and other proprietary ingredients. We developed Protandim, a proprietary
blend of ingredients that combats oxidative stress by increasing the bodys natural antioxidant
protection at the genetic level, inducing the production of naturally occurring protective antioxidant
enzymes including SOD, CAT, and glutathione synthase.
We sell Protandim and LifeVantage TrueScience through our network marketing sales channel
utilizing independent distributors and directly to individuals through our preferred customer
program.
To date, we have focused our research efforts on investigating various aspects and
consequences of the imbalance of oxidants and antioxidants, an abnormality, which is a central
underlying feature in many disorders. We intend to continue our research, development, and
documentation of the efficacy of Protandim to provide credibility to the market. We also anticipate
undertaking research, development, testing, and licensing efforts to be able to introduce
additional products in the future, although we may not be successful in this endeavor.
Ongoing research and development projects involving Protandim are currently in various stages
of completion with several institutions including the University of Colorado at Denver Health
Science Center, University of Minnesotas Masonic Cancer Center, Ohio State University, University
Hospital in Brno, Czech Republic, University of Michigan and Louisiana State University. The
studies relate to various conditions including pulmonary hypertension, non-alcoholic fatty liver
disease, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, coronary artery bypass graft failure, renal failure,
diabetes, and photoaging of the skin. The recently completed and published peer-reviewed mouse
study at Louisiana State University found a significant increase in the expression levels of SOD
and catalase enzymes and tumor incidence and multiplicity were reduced in mice fed a Protandim®
diet by 33% and 57%, respectively, compared with mice on a basal diet. Another study, conducted by
a prominent dermatologist using Protandim®, is examining the relationship between anti-aging and
the skins natural ability to rejuvenate at the cellular level.
Net revenue from Protandim®, TrueScience®and related marketing
materials totaled $6,443,349 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, and $1,857,997 for the
three months ended September 30, 2009, respectively.
Three
Months Ended September 30, 2010 Compared to Three Months Ended
September 30, 2009
Revenue We generated net revenue of $6,443,349 during the three months ended September
30, 2010, and generated net revenue of $1,857,997 during the three months ended September 30, 2009.
The increase in revenue is due to continuing growth in our network marketing channels in the U.S.
and Japan with no substantial change in Mexico sales.
Gross Margin Our gross profit percentage for the three month periods ended September
30, 2010 and 2009 was 84% and 83%, respectively. The higher gross margin in 2010 was primarily due
to continuing focus on efficiencies and cost reduction measures. We believe that our margin should
be fairly stable in this range, however, as we increase sales into
our international markets and/or change the mix of our product
offerings, the margin could vary.

Operating Expenses Total operating expenses for the three months ended September 30,
2010 were $5,078,445 as compared to operating expenses of $4,553,512 for the three months ended
September 30, 2009. Operating expenses consist of sales and marketing expenses, general and
administrative expenses, research and development, and depreciation and amortization expenses.
Operating expenses increased primarily due to increased commissions for distributors, which was
offset by decreases in costs associated with headcount and stock-based compensation.
Sales and Marketing Expenses Sales and marketing expense increased from $2,012,166 for
the three months ended September 30, 2009 to $3,410,843 for the three months ended September 30,
2010. This increase was due primarily to commissions paid to distributors due to the higher sales
volume and other expenses related to sales incentives and our entry into the Japan market.
General and Administrative Expenses Our general and administrative expense decreased
from $2,381,156 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 to
$1,507,093 for the three months
ended September 30, 2010. The decrease for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was due
primarily to decreased costs associated with headcount and decreased legal fees. This decrease was
partially offset by increased bonus accruals, professional fees and benefit costs.
Research and Development Our research and development expenses decreased from $106,892
for the three months ended September 30, 2009 to $109,793 for the three months ended September 30,
2010. The decrease was primarily a result of decreased lab fees paid to the University of
Colorado.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense Depreciation and amortization expense
decreased from $53,298 during the three months ended September 30, 2009 to $50,716 during the three
months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease was due to assets becoming fully depreciated in the
quarter.
Net Other Income and Expense We recognized net other income of $370,424 during the
three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to net other income of $5,874,035 during the
three months ended September 30, 2009. These fluctuations between periods are primarily the result
of a decrease in the gain recognized due to the change in fair value of the derivative liabilities
during the three months ended September 30, 2010 of $4,192,689 as compared to the three months
ended September 30, 2009, as well as an increase in interest expense recognized of $1,310,922 for
the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009.
Net Income/Loss We recorded net income of $715,193 for the three month period ended
September 30, 2010 compared to net income of $2,865,546 for the three month period ended September
30 2009. The decrease in net income of $2,150,353 for the three
months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the three months
ended September 30, 2009 is due to a decrease of $5,503,611 in
other income offset by an increase in operating income of $3,353,258.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary liquidity and capital resource requirements are to finance the cost of our planned
sales and marketing efforts, the manufacture and sale of Protandim and our LifeVantage TrueScience
Anti-Aging Skin Cream, and to pay our general and administrative expenses. Our primary sources of
liquidity are cash flow generated from the sales of our product and funds raised from our 2009
private placement financing transactions which closed in 2009 and 2010.
22
Table of Contents
At September 30, 2010, our available liquidity was approximately $2,257,060, including
available cash and cash equivalents. This represented an increase of $619,384 from the $1,637,676
in cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2010. During the three months ended September 30, 2010,
our net cash provided by operating activities was $641,651 as compared to net cash used by
operating activities of $1,634,478 during the three months ended September 30, 2009.
During the three months ended September 30, 2010, our net cash used by investing activities
was $7,939 due to purchases of intangible and fixed assets. During the three months ended
September 30, 2009, our net cash provided by investing activities was $37,096 primarily due to the
redemption of investments offset by the purchase of equipment.
We did not have any cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended
September 30, 2010 compared to $1,592,081 during the three months ended September 30, 2009. Cash
provided from financing activities during the three months ended September 30, 2009 was related to
proceeds from the issuance of common stock and warrants and notes payable from related parties.
We maintain an investment portfolio that is managed by a professional financial institution.
This portfolio of auction rate private securities, or ARPS, of AA and AAA rated closed-end funds,
which historically have been extremely liquid, has been adversely affected by the broader national
liquidity crisis. We have negotiated a repurchases plan with the financial institution holding
these securities.
We have a line of credit secured by our securities, which allows us to borrow up to 80% of the
value of these securities. Based upon that line of credit, management has classified 80% or
$340,000 of our investments as short term. The remaining 20% or $85,000 of our investment that may
not be available in the current year is classified as long-term. However, future economic events
could change the portions of these classified as short term and long term.
At September 30, 2010, we had working capital (current assets minus current liabilities) of
$29,077 compared to negative working capital of $(2,103,899) at June 30, 2010. The increase in
working capital was primarily due to being cash flow positive during the quarter and the reduction
of the current derivative liabilities.
We intend to convert our remaining short-term debentures and related derivative liabilities
into 800,000 shares of our common stock during the second quarter of our fiscal 2011. These
conversions should have a further positive effect on our working capital. Based on our forecasted
cash flow for fiscal 2011 we have determined that cash on hand will be sufficient to fund our
operations through September 30, 2011 and the foreseeable future thereafter.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2010, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies
We prepare our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. As such, we are required to make certain estimates,
judgments, and assumptions that we believe are reasonable based upon the information available.
These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date
of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods
presented. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Our significant accounting policies
are described in Note 2 to our financial statements. Certain of these significant accounting
policies require us to make difficult, subjective, or complex judgments or estimates. We consider
an accounting estimate to be critical if (1) the accounting estimate requires us to make
assumptions about matters that were highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate was made,
and (2) changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period, or use
of different estimates that we reasonably could have used in the current period, would have a
material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
23
Table of Contents
There are other items within our financial statements that require estimation, but are not
deemed critical as defined above. Changes in estimates used in these and other items could have a
material impact on our financial statements. Management has discussed the development and
selection of these critical accounting estimates with our board of directors, and the audit
committee has reviewed the foregoing disclosure.
Allowances for Product Returns We record allowances for product returns at the time
we ship the product based on estimated return rates of 1% to 4%. We base these accruals on the
historical return rate since the inception of our selling activities, and the specific historical
return patterns of the product.
We offer a 30-day, money back unconditional guarantee to all direct customers. As of
September 30, 2010, our September 2010 direct and network marketing sales shipments of
approximately $2,270,000 were subject to the money back guarantee. We replace product returned due
to damage during shipment wholly at our cost, the total of which historically has been negligible.
In addition, we allow terminating distributors to return 30% of unopened unexpired product that
they purchased during the prior twelve months, subject to certain consumption limitations.
We monitor our return estimate on an ongoing basis and may revise the allowances to reflect
our experience. Our allowance for product returns was $447,434 on September 30, 2010, compared
with a $343,900 on June 30, 2010. To date, product expiration dates have not played any role in
product returns, and we do not expect product expiration dates to affect product returns in the
foreseeable future because it is unlikely that we will ship product with an expiration date earlier
than the latest allowable product return date.
Inventory Valuation We state inventories at the lower of cost or market on a first-in
first-out basis. From time to time we maintain a reserve for inventory obsolescence and we base
this reserve on assumptions about current and future product demand, inventory whose shelf life has
expired and market conditions. From time to time, we may be required to make additional reserves
in the event there is a change in any of these variables. We recorded a reserve for obsolete
inventory as of September 30, 2010 of approximately $48,000 related to certain marketing materials
held in inventory.
Revenue Recognition We ship the majority of our product directly to the consumer
through the direct to consumer and network marketing sales channels via United Parcel Service,
(UPS), and receive substantially all payment for these shipments in the form of credit card
charges. We recognize revenue from direct product sales to customers upon passage of title and
risk of loss to customers when product is shipped from the fulfillment facility. Sales revenue and
estimated returns are recorded when product is shipped.
Derivative Instruments In connection with the sale of debt or equity instruments, we
may sell options or warrants to purchase our common stock. In certain circumstances, these options
or warrants may be classified as derivative liabilities, rather than as equity. Additionally, the
debt or equity instruments may contain embedded derivative instruments, such as conversion options,
which in certain circumstances may be required to be bifurcated from the associated host instrument
and accounted for separately as a derivative instrument liability.
24
Table of Contents
The identification of, and accounting for, derivative instruments is complex. For options,
warrants and any bifurcated conversion options that are accounted for as derivative instrument
liabilities, we determine the fair value of these instruments using the Black-Scholes option
pricing model. That model requires assumptions related to the remaining term of the instruments and
risk-free rates of return, our current common stock price and expected dividend yield, and the
expected volatility of our common stock price over the life of the instruments. Because of the
limited trading history for our common stock, we have estimated the future volatility of our common
stock price based on not only the history of our stock price but also the experience of other
entities considered comparable to us. The identification of, and accounting for, derivative
instruments and the assumptions used to value them can significantly affect our financial
statements.
Intangible Assets Patent Costs We review the carrying value of our patent costs
and compare to fair value at least annually to determine whether the patents have continuing value.
In determining fair value, we consider undiscounted future cash flows and market capitalization.
Stock-Based Compensation We use the fair value approach to account for stock-based
compensation in accordance with the modified version of prospective application.
Research and Development Costs We have expensed all of our payments related to
research and development activities.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
We have reviewed recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and do not
believe any such pronouncements will have a material impact on our financial statements.
Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
Under the rules and regulations of the SEC, as a smaller reporting company we are not required
to provide the information required by this Item.
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of September 30, 2010, we conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the
participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. The
term disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the
Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports it files or submits under the
Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in
the SECs rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures also include, without limitation,
controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company
in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to
the companys management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or
persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2010
at the reasonable assurance level due to the material weaknesses in our internal control over
financial reporting discussed immediately below.
25
Table of Contents
Identified Material Weaknesses
A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, that results in
more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of our financial statements would not
be prevented or detected on a timely basis by our employees in the normal course of performing
their assigned functions. Management identified material weaknesses during our assessment of our
internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2010. In particular, we concluded
that we did not maintain:
1. | Adequate oversight of certain accounting functions and did not maintain adequate documentation of management review and approval of accounting transactions and financial reporting processes; and | |
2. | Formal policies governing certain accounting transactions and financial reporting processes. |
In conclusion, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer determined that we did
not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2010.
Managements Remediation Initiatives
We are in the process of evaluating our material weaknesses. We have already begun to
remediate many of the material weaknesses. In an effort to remediate the identified material
weaknesses and other deficiencies and to enhance our internal control over financial reporting, we
have initiated, or plan to initiate, the following series of measures:
1) | Implement appropriate management oversight and approval activities; and | ||
2) | Establish comprehensive formal general accounting policies and procedures and require employees to sign off such policies and procedures as documentation of their understanding of and compliance with company policies. |
We plan to test our updated controls and remediate our material weaknesses by June 30, 2011.
In our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2010 (filed with the SEC on
September 15, 2010) in addition to the material weaknesses discussed above, we identified two other
material weaknesses in our internal controls related to the lack of: (i) sufficient personnel with
an appropriate level of accounting knowledge, experience and training in the selection and
application of technical accounting principles in accordance with GAAP to support our financial
accounting and reporting functions; and (ii) a whistleblower hotline. During the quarter ended
September 30, 2010 we hired additional staff with experience managing and working in the corporate
accounting department of a publicly traded company and established a whistleblower hotline.
Conclusion
The above identified material weaknesses resulted in material audit adjustments to our 2010
financial statements. If the identified material weaknesses are not remediated, one or more of the
identified material weaknesses noted above could result in a material misstatement in our reported
financial statements in a future interim or annual period.
26
Table of Contents
In light of the identified material weaknesses, management performed (1) significant
additional substantive review of those areas described above, and (2) additional analyses,
including but not limited to a detailed balance sheet and statement of operations analytical review
that compared changes from the prior periods financial statements and analyzed all significant
differences. These procedures were completed so management could gain assurance that the financial
statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects our financial position,
results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the quarter ended September 30, 2010, we implemented the following changes that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over
financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act; we hired
additional staff and established a whistleblower hotline.
