LIFEVANTAGE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2011 AND 2010
(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 March 31, 2011, and the results of operations for the three and nine month periods
ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 and the cash flows for the nine month periods ended March 31, 2011
and 2010. 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 LifeVantage Corporation 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.
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 6 Convertible Debentures and Stockholders
Equity for disclosures related to our convertible debentures and 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.
9
Table of Contents
(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 March 31, 2011:

$ | 17,540,466 | $ | 18,567,450 | ||||
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 March 31, 2011 consist primarily of credit card receivables including a
percentage holdback by the credit card processor. The holdback balance at March 31, 2011 was
$539,374. 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 March 31, 2011 is not
necessary. No bad debt expense has been recorded for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 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.

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. Our return rate for sales directly to consumers and sales through our network channel
are based on our historical experience which we analyze on a regular basis.
As a result of our analysis during the three months ended March 31, 2011 we adjusted our reserve estimate which
resulted in an increase to revenue and operating income and a
decrease to net loss of approximately $137,000.
As of March 31, 2011
and June 30, 2010, our reserve balance for returns and allowances was $737,495 and $343,937,
respectively.
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 and nine month periods ended March 31, 2011 the effects of
approximately 62 million common shares, respectively, issuable upon exercise of warrants issued in
our private placement offerings, compensation based warrants issued and options granted through our
2007 and 2010 Long-Term Incentive Plans are not included in computations because their effect was
anti-dilutive. For the three month and nine month periods ended March 31, 2010 the basic and
diluted average outstanding shares are the same since including the additional potential common
share equivalents would have an antidilutive effect on the loss per share calculation.

Research and Development Costs
We expense all costs related to research and development activities as incurred. Research and
development expenses for the nine month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 were $315,025 and
$295,277, respectively.
Shipping and Handling
Shipping and handling costs associated with inbound freight and freight out to customers,
including independent distributors, are included in cost of sales. Shipping and handling fees
charged to all customers are included in sales.
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.

Table of Contents
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.
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 March 31, 2011 we have recognized income tax expense of $95,000
which is our estimated state income tax liability for the nine months ended March 31, 2011.
Realization of our deferred tax asset is dependent upon future earnings in specific tax
jurisdictions, the timing and amount of which are uncertain. We continue to evaluate the
realizability of the deferred tax asset, based upon achieved and estimated future results. If it is
determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be realized, we will
reverse all or a portion of the allowance as deemed appropriate. The difference between the
effective rate of 2.7% and the Federal statutory rate of 34% is due to the change in our valuation
allowance account, state income taxes (net of federal benefit), and certain permanent differences
between our taxable and book income.
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 March 31, 2011,
we had $3,664,717 in cash accounts at one financial institution, approximately $197,978 in foreign
bank accounts and $231,356 in an investment management account at another financial institution.
The maximum loss that would have resulted from concentration risk totaled $803,701 at March 31,
2011 and $717,618 at June 30, 2010 for the excess of the deposit liabilities reported by the banks
over the amounts that would have been covered by federal insurance.
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 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. Management
classified 80% or $280,000 of our investments as short term. The remaining 20% or $70,000 of our
investments that may not be available in the current year are classified as long-term.
As of March 31, 2011, 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 had an interest rate of 8 percent per annum and had a term of three years.
The convertible debentures were convertible into common stock at $0.20 per share during their term
and at maturity, at our option, were repayable in full or convertible 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 dates on September 26, 2010 and October 31, 2010. 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 was 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.
Details of the issuances are in the table below:

As of December 31, 2010 all the convertible debentures issued in September and October of 2007
were converted.
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 would have reduced the conversion price dollar for dollar if we were to have issued
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
December 31, 2010 the embedded conversion option had a zero value because all debentures have been
converted.

Table of Contents
Effective interest associated with the convertible debentures totaled none and $240,684 for
the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011, respectively. Effective interest associated with
the convertible debentures totaled $148,953 and $377,866 for the three and nine months ended March
31, 2010, respectively. Effective interest is accreted to the balance of convertible debt until
maturity. Simple interest paid totaled none and $18,046 for the three and nine months ended March
31, 2011, respectively. Simple interest paid totaled $21,734 and $67,939 for the three and nine
months ended March 31, 2010, respectively. A total of $256,568 was paid for commissions and
expenses incurred in the 2007 private placement offering which was amortized into interest expense
over the term of the convertible debentures on a straight-line basis. As of March 31, 2011 we have
recorded accumulated amortization of 2007 deferred offering costs of $231,552.
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 March 31, 2011, these amounts are recorded as short-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. If we offer to redeem, the holders of the debentures have 20 days to convert to common
stock. In conjunction with these convertible debentures we issued warrants to purchase an
aggregate of 14,997,449 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $0.50 per share and
warrants to purchase an 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 table below:

As of March 31, 2011 the convertible debentures are convertible into an aggregate of
16,204,575 shares with a value as of March 31, 2011 of $11,505,248 which exceeds the principal
value by $8,264,333.
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 have 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. As of March 31, 2011, the embedded
conversion option is estimated to be $5,859,248 and the warrant derivative is estimated to be
$9,324,029. 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 $342,740 and $1,680,097
for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2011, respectively. Effective interest
associated with the convertible debentures totaled $537,832 and $578,747 for the three and nine
month periods ended March 31, 2010, respectively. Effective interest is accreted to the balance of
convertible debt until maturity. Simple interest paid was $73,653 and $258,578 for the three and
nine month periods ended March 31, 2011, respectively. 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 March 31, 2011 we have recorded
accumulated amortization of deferred offering costs of $877,606.

Note 5 Line of Credit
We established a line of credit to borrow up to 80% of our cash and investments. As of March
31, 2011, we can borrow up to $600,000. The line is collateralized by our auction rate securities.
The interest rate charged through March 31, 2011, 3.00 percent, is 0.25 percentage points below the
published Wall Street Journal Prime Rate, which was 3.25 percent as of March 31, 2011. At March 31,
2011, we have borrowed approximately $433,984 including accrued interest, from the line.
Note 6 Stockholders Equity
During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011 we issued 1,193,725 and 11,646,825,
respectively, 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 March
31, 2011, 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 2007 Plan),
effective November 21, 2006, to provide incentives to certain eligible employees, directors and
consultants. A maximum of 10,000,000 shares of our common stock can be issued under the 2007 Plan
in connection with the grant of awards. Awards to purchase common stock have been granted pursuant
to the 2007 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 2007 Plan upon expiration of the
award. As of March 31, 2011, awards for the purchase of an aggregate of 8,137,731 shares of our
common stock are outstanding under the 2007 Plan.
We adopted and the shareholders approved the 2010 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the 2010 Plan),
effective September 27, 2010, to provide incentives to certain eligible employees, directors and
consultants. A maximum of 3,500,000 shares of our common stock can be issued under the 2010 Plan in
connection with the grant of awards. As of March 31, 2011 there were 2,412,000 awards outstanding
under the 2010 Plan.
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 44,000 and 102,000 were granted
for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2011, respectively. Compensation based options
totaling 360,000 and 1,737,500 were granted during the three and nine month periods ended March 31,
2010, respectively.
For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011, stock based compensation of $288,665 and
$450,780, respectively, was reflected as an increase to additional paid in capital. Of the stock
based compensation for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011, $264,666 and $397,183
respectively, was employee related and $23,999 and $53,597, respectively, was non-employee related.
For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010, stock based compensation of $417,842 and
$2,071,372, respectively, was reflected as an increase to additional paid in capital. Of the stock
based compensation for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010, $43,888 and $973,455
respectively, was employee related and $373,954 and $1,097,917 respectively, was non-employee
related.
Compensation expense was calculated using the fair value method during the three and nine
month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The
following assumptions were used for options and warrants granted during the nine month periods
ended March 31, 2011 and 2010:
1. | risk-free interest rates of between 1.33 and 2.64 percent for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2.01 and 3.52 percent for the nine months ended March 31, 2010; | ||
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 125 and 129 percent for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 between 143 and 337 percent for the nine months ended March 31, 2010. |

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
The following 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 channels.
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.
We primarily sell a single product, Protandim, and in June 2009 we began selling our
LifeVantage TrueScience Anti-Aging Cream (LifeVantage TrueScience) which incorporates
ingredients contained 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 activities in an effort to introduce
additional products in the future, although we may not be successful in this endeavor.

Ongoing research and development projects studying Protandim as a potent and effective Nrf2 activator are currently in various stages of completion with several institutions including the
University of Colorado at Denver, University of Minnesotas Masonic Cancer Center, Northwestern University, Colorado State University and Louisiana State University. The studies relate to
various conditions including non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, alcohol-related susceptibility to acute lung injury, breast cancer, allograft rejection, and multiple sclerosis. A recently completed and
published peer-reviewed study from The Ohio State University examined the biochemical mechanisms that underlie the ability of Protandim® to suppress intimal hyperplasia (over-proliferation of
cells that line the vessel wall), a common adverse event that limits the effectiveness of several types of vascular surgery. Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery is performed more than
400,000 times a year in the United States. Most procedures requiring multiple bypasses still utilize the saphenous vein (taken from the leg) for secondary grafts. Ten years after CABG surgery,
roughly half of the saphenous vein grafts will have become largely, if not completely blocked by processes that may result from intimal hyperplasia. Previous studies concluded that a major factor
causing this condition is the three-to-five-fold higher concentration of oxygen experienced by the graft in its new environment. This study showed that Protandims ability to activate the signaling
molecule Nrf2 significantly increased antioxidant enzyme activity in human saphenous veins cultured at high oxygen, while reducing free radical levels, lipid peroxidation, and, importantly, reducing intimal proliferation to the level seen in normal healthy saphenous vein.
Net revenue from Protandim(R), TrueScience(R)and related marketing materials totaled
$9,975,224 and $23,878,662, respectively, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011, and
$2,723,807 and $7,037,450, respectively, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010.
Three and Nine Months Ended March 31, 2011 Compared to Three and Nine Months Ended March 31, 2010
Revenue We generated net sales of $9,975,224 during the three months ended March 31,
2011, and generated net sales of $2,723,807 during the three months ended March 31, 2010. We
generated net sales of $23,878,662 during the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and $7,037,450
during the nine months ended March 31, 2010. The increase in sales is due to increased volume
through the network marketing or multi-level marketing sales channel. Our sales in Japan
contributed $1,824,588 and $2,830,797 of this increase for the three and nine months ended March
31, 2011, respectively.
As a result of an historical analysis of our return rate during the three months ended March 31, 2011 we
adjusted our sales return reserve estimate which
resulted in an increase to revenue of approximately $137,000.
During the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2011, substantially
all of our sales and marketing effort was directed toward building this channel.
Gross Margin Our gross profit percentage for the three month periods ended March 31,
2011 and 2010 was 84%. Our gross profit percentage for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and
2010 was 84% and 83%, respectively. The slightly higher gross margins we have experienced are
primarily due to efficiencies and cost reductions obtained through our contract manufacturer. We
expect the gross margin percentages for this sales channel to remain in this range for the
foreseeable future.
Operating Expenses Total operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2011
were $7,601,095 as compared to operating expenses of $3,619,487 for the three months ended March
31, 2010. Total operating expenses during the nine month period ended March 31, 2011 were
$18,339,113 as compared to operating expenses of $12,896,477 during the nine month period ended
March 31, 2010. Operating expenses consist of sales and marketing expenses, general and
administrative expenses, research and development, and depreciation and amortization expenses.
Sales and Marketing Expenses Sales and marketing expense increased from $1,877,073 for
the three months ended March 31, 2010 to $5,350,388 for the three months ended March 31, 2011.
Sales and marketing expenses increased from $5,852,268 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 to
$12,781,834 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011. This increase was due primarily to
commissions paid to distributors due to the higher sales volume. We expect continued increases in
sales and marketing expenses as our sales increase.
General and Administrative Expenses Our general and administrative expense increased
from $1,618,591 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to $2,081,108 for the three months ended
March 31, 2011. General and administrative expense decreased from $6,548,199 for the nine months
ended March 31, 2010 to $5,084,270 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011. The increase for the
three month period is primarily due to increased bonus accruals and professional fees related to
Sarbanes Oxley compliance, tax strategy and public reporting. The decrease for the nine month
period is primarily due to decreased legal expenses and personnel related costs and are partially
offset by increased bonus accruals and benefits costs. We expect general and administrative
expenses to remain relatively stable, however there will be some periodic increases associated with
additional personnel required to support our growth.
Research and Development Our research and development expenses increased from $69,863
for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to $115,515 for the three months ended March 31, 2011.
Research and development expenses increased from $295,277 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010
to $315,025 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011. These increases are a result of increased
fees paid to our Scientific Advisory Board. Continued investment in research and development is a
company priority and we intend to commit up to approximately 2% of our total net sales in future
periods for research and development efforts. The recognition and timing of these expenses will be
dependent upon entry into specific research and development projects, which are still in the
planning stages.

Table of Contents
Depreciation and Amortization Expense Depreciation and amortization expense increased
from $53,960 during the three months ended March 31, 2010 to $54,084 during the three months ended
March 31, 2011. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased from $200,733 for the nine months
ended March 31, 2010 to $157,984 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011. The decrease for the
nine month period was due primarily to assets being fully depreciated and is partially offset by
depreciation associated with capital acquisitions made during the current fiscal year.
Net Other Income (Expense) We recognized net other expense of $10,559,824 during the
three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to net other expense of $6,906,139 during the three
months ended March 31, 2010. During the nine months ended March 31, 2011 we recognized net other
expense of $5,255,758 as compared to net other income of $966,922 for the nine months ended March
31, 2010. These fluctuations between periods are primarily the result of the change in fair value
of the derivative liabilities during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011 of $10,090,924
and $2,777,953, respectively. This expense was increased by interest expense related to convertible
debentures and income tax expense.
Income Tax Expense We recognized no income tax expense for the three month periods
ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. For the nine months ended March 31, 2011 we recognized
tax expense of $95,000 as compared to none for the nine months ended March 31, 2010. The income
tax expense reflects our estimated liability for state income taxes for the three and nine months
ended March 31, 2011.
Net Income/Loss We recorded net loss of $9,767,561 for the three month period ended
March 31, 2011 compared to a net loss of $8,249,616 for the three month period ended March 31 2010.
As a result of an historical analysis of our return rate during the three months ended March 31, 2011 we adjusted our sales return reserve estimate which
resulted in a decrease to net loss of approximately $137,000.
We recorded net loss of $3,604,744 for the nine month period ended March 31, 2011 compared to a net
loss of $6,064,700 for the nine month period ended March 31, 2010.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary liquidity and capital resource requirements are to finance our continued expansion
into the network marketing sales channel. This includes the costs associated with additional
support personnel, compensating our distributors, the manufacture and sale of our products, capital
investments in systems and infrastructure and general and administrative expenses. In order to
remain cash flow positive from operations, we must maintain or continue to increase sales and
maintain or limit expense increases.
Our primary source of liquidity is cash generated from the sales of our products. As of March
31, 2011, our available liquidity was $4,094,051, including available cash, cash equivalents and
marketable securities. This represented an increase of $2,456,375 from the $1,637,676 in cash, cash
equivalents and marketable securities as of June 30, 2010. During the nine months ended March 31,
2011, our net cash provided by operating activities was $2,445,151 as compared to net cash used by
operating activities of $4,516,159 during the nine months ended March 31, 2010. Our cash provided
by operating activities during the nine month period ended March 31, 2011 increased primarily as a
result of increased revenues.
During the nine months ended March 31, 2011, our net cash used by investing activities was
$13,951, due to the redemption of marketable securities less the purchase of fixed and intangible
assets. During the nine months ended March 31, 2010, our net cash provided by investing activities
was $166,784 primarily due to the redemption of marketable securities less the purchase of
intangible assets.
Cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended March 31, 2011 was $50,000
compared to cash provided by financing activities of $5,300,353 during the nine months ended March
31, 2010. Cash provided by financing activities during the nine month period ended March 31, 2011
was related solely to proceeds from the exercise of warrants. Cash provided from financing
activities during the nine months ended March 31, 2010 was due to proceeds from an equity offering
of common stock and warrants and the issuance of convertible debentures and warrants.
We maintain an investment portfolio of marketable securities that is managed by a professional
financial institution. The portfolio includes auction rate private securities, or ARPS, of AA and
AAA rated closed-end funds. These marketable securities which historically have been extremely
liquid have been adversely affected by the broader national liquidity crisis.
We have a line of credit that is secured by the marketable securities that we hold, which
allows us to borrow against 80% of the par value of these marketable securities. Based upon this
line of credit, we have classified 80% or $280,000 of our marketable securities as short term. The
remaining 20% or $70,000 of our marketable securities that may not be available in the next twelve
months is classified as long-term. However, future economic events could change the portion of
these classified as long term.

Table of Contents
At March 31, 2011, we had negative working capital (current assets minus current liabilities)
of $5,450,030, compared to negative working capital of $2,103,899 at June 30, 2010. The negative
working capital at March 31, 2011 is due to the classification as short-term in the quarter ended
March 31, 2011 of certain derivative liabilities related to the convertible debentures and warrants
issued in our 2009 financing transactions.
Our ability to finance future operations will depend on our existing liquidity and on our
ability to generate continued revenues and profits from operations. We believe that existing cash
on hand and future cash flow will be sufficient to allow us to continue operations for at least the
next 12 months. A shortfall from projected sales levels would likely result in expense reductions,
which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to continue operations at current levels.
If we are unable to generate cash from operations at projected or otherwise sufficient levels, we
may be required to seek additional funds through debt, equity or equity-based financing (such as
convertible debt); however financing may not be available on favorable terms or at all. If we raise
additional funds by selling additional shares of our capital stock, or securities convertible into
shares of our capital stock, the ownership interest of our existing shareholders will be diluted.
The amount of dilution could be increased by the issuance of warrants or securities with other
dilutive characteristics, such as anti-dilution clauses or price resets.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2011, 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.
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. 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 March 31,
2011, approximately $3,668,019 of our sales 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 $737,495 at March 31, 2011, compared with
$343,900 at June 30, 2010. As a result of an historical analysis of our return rate during the three months ended March 31, 2011 we adjusted our sales return reserve estimate which
resulted in an increase to revenue and operating income and a
decrease in our net loss of approximately $137,000.
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 have recorded $89,573 of reserve for
obsolete inventory as of March 31, 2011 primarily for obsolete marketing materials.
20
Table of Contents
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.
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 March 31, 2011, 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 March 31, 2011 at
the reasonable assurance level due to the material weaknesses in our internal control over
financial reporting discussed immediately below.
21
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 March 31, 2011. 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 March 31, 2011.
Managements Remediation Initiatives
We are in the process of evaluating our 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) | We have established comprehensive formal general accounting policies and procedures and are in the process of obtaining written confirmation from appropriate employees to document their understanding of and compliance with company policies and procedures. |
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.
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 March 31, 2011, 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
established comprehensive formal general accounting policies and procedures.
