The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q, and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, in the opinion of Companys management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair statement of the Companys consolidated financial information as of, and for, the periods presented. The consolidated results of operations of any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the consolidated results of operations to be expected for the fiscal year. For further information, refer to the Companys consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes included in the Companys annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Revenue Recognition
The Companys revenues are primarily derived from sales of products, sales of starter and renewal packs, and shipping fees. Substantially all product sales are sold to associates at published wholesale prices and to members at discounted published retail prices. The Company also records a sales return reserve related to expected sales refunds based on historical experience.
The Company defers all of its revenues until its customers receives their shipments. The Company also defers a portion of the revenue received from the sale of its starter and renewal packs when the revenue exceeds the total average wholesale value of all of the individual items included in such packs and amortizes such deferrals over 12 months. Periodically, certain packs contain an event admission pass that allows an associate free admission to a corporate sponsored event. Beginning in September 2002, certain Company packs began to include a one-year subscription to the Companys monthly magazine. Revenue from these packs is allocated between products, event admission, and magazine subscription revenue, based on each of their proportionate average fair values. The event admission revenue and the magazine subscription revenue are amortized over 12 months. Total deferred revenue was $1.1 million and $1.8 million at December 31, 2002 and March 31, 2003, respectively.

Table of Contents
Shipping and Handling Costs
The Company records freight and shipping revenues collected from associates and members as revenue. The Company records in-bound freight and shipping costs as a part of cost of sales and records shipping and handling costs associated with shipping products to its associates and members as selling and administrative expenses. Total shipping and handling costs included in selling and administrative expenses were approximately $1.6 million and $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2003, respectively.
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
Periodically, the Company issues stock options to both employees and nonemployees. For stock-based compensation issued to nonemployees, the Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123 (SFAS 123) Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Under SFAS 123, stock-based compensation to nonemployees is measured by the fair value at the date of grant. The Company grants stock options to nonemployees for terms no longer than ten years and the stock options generally vest over three years.
For stock-based compensation issued to employees and Board of Directors, the Company elected to continue to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25) and its related interpretations. Under the recognition and measurement principles of APB 25, no compensation expense is recognized unless the market price of the stock option exceeds the exercise price on the date of grant. Stock options granted to employees and Board of Directors are nontransferable and are granted for terms no longer than ten years at an exercise price that may not be less than 100% of the fair value of the Companys common stock on the date of grant. Stock options generally vest over three years for employees and vest immediately for Board of Directors.
For disclosure purposes only, the Company estimated the fair value for all stock options granted on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and estimated the amount of expense that would have been recognized for each stock option granted over its vesting period. No stock options were granted in the first three months of 2002 and 2003. The following table illustrates the effect on the Companys net income and earnings per share, in thousands, except for per share information, if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 to all of its stock options:

Earnings Per Share
Basic Earnings Per Share (EPS) calculations are based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, while diluted EPS calculations are calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during each period.
The following data shows the amounts used in computing EPS and their effect on the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents. At March 31, 2002, 2,898,833 common stock options and 100,000 warrants were excluded from the diluted EPS calculation and at March 31, 2003, 2,937,333 of the common stock options and 100,000 warrants were excluded from the diluted EPS calculation, as their effect was antidilutive. The amounts are rounded to the nearest thousand, except for per share amounts.

NOTE 4 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Leases and line of credit
In January 2002, the Company began leasing approximately $250,000 of computer hardware under a noncancelable master-operating lease. The master-operating lease contains seven separate three-year operating leases that expire at various times through October 2005. In April 2002, this master-operating lease was increased to $300,000. The master-operating lease requires the Company to restrict cash of $345,000 as collateral for the life of the lease. In April 2003, the Company obtained another three year master-operating lease to begin leasing additional computer hardware in an amount up to $750,000.
In March 2003, the Company entered into a one-year $2.0 million line of credit with one of its primary banking institutions, J.P. Morgan Chase Bank. As of April 30, 2003, the Company had not drawn on its line of credit. The line of credit agreement does not contain any financial covenants or any commitment fees; however, the Company is required to restrict $2.1 million of its cash as collateral for the line of credit.
Purchase commitment
Since 1994, the Company has maintained a purchase commitment with one of its suppliers to purchase Manapol®, a raw material found in the majority of the Companys products. In May 2002, the Company modified its inventory purchase commitment to reduce the required monthly commitment and extend the terms of the agreement through August 2003. In February 2003, the Company entered into a side agreement related to this purchase agreement with its supplier to include raw material purchases from its manufacturers as part of the required monthly commitment. Under the terms of this amended inventory purchase commitment and the side agreement, the Company and its manufacturer are required to purchase a total of $1.5 million of raw materials through August 2003.
Subsequent event
The Companys employment agreement with Robert M. Henry would have expired in December 2004. However, on April 15, 2003, Mr. Henry resigned from the Company, as its Chief Executive Officer and as a Board Director, and the Company entered into a Separation Agreement with Mr. Henry. Under the terms of the Separation Agreement and as a result of the termination of Mr. Henrys employment agreement, the Company is required to pay Mr. Henry approximately $1.3 million of which approximately $0.5 million will be paid in 2003, $0.4 million in 2004, and $0.4 million in 2005. The payments primarily relate to the Companys contractual obligations related to Mr. Henrys employment agreement, outplacement fees, attorney fees, relocation fees, health insurance, and title to his leased vehicle. In addition, the Company extended the term of Mr. Henrys 266,667 vested stock options to the earlier of ten years from the original date of grant or one year after Mr. Henrys death. Mr. Henry agreed to provide certain consulting services to the Company through December 31, 2005 and is prohibited from being affiliated with another dietary supplement network-marketing company that specializes in products that are glyconutritional or aloe-based for a specified period.
NOTE 5 RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
SFAS 143. In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 143 (SFAS 143) Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. SFAS 143 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. SFAS 143 requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be determined. In addition, SFAS 143 requires the related asset retirement costs to be capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset and amortized over the life of the lease. On January 1, 2003, the Company adopted SFAS 143, which resulted in an increase in its leasehold improvements and long-term liabilities of $253,000 for the estimated restoration costs of its Japanese leased facilities. The cumulative affect of this adjustment was insignificant.

Table of Contents
FIN 45. In November 2002, FASB issued Interpretation No. 45 (FIN 45), Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others. FIN 45 is applicable to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. FIN 45 expands the existing disclosure required for most guarantees, including loan guarantees such as standby letters of credit. FIN 45 also requires a company to recognize an initial liability for the fair market value of the obligations it assumes under that guarantee upon issuance and disclosure of certain information about the guarantee in its interim and annual financial statements. The adoption of this interpretation did not have a significant impact on the Companys financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
FIN 46. In January 2003, FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. FIN 46 is effective for variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003. FIN 46 is an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements. FIN 46 requires a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entitys activities or entitled to receive a majority of the entitys residual returns or both. The adoption of this interpretation did not have an impact on the Companys financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
SFAS 149. In April 2003, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 149 (SFAS 149), Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS 149 amends SFAS 133 Accounting for Derivatives Instruments and Hedging Activities and the related implementation guidance and is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, except for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. SFAS 149 clarifies the definition of a derivative and amends the financial accounting and reporting required for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities. In addition, SFAS 149 improves the financial reporting requirements by requiring a more consistent reporting of contracts as either derivatives or hybrid instruments. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the Companys financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion is intended to assist in the understanding of Mannatechs financial position and its results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2003 compared to the same period in 2002. The Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes should be referred to in conjunction with this discussion. Unless stated otherwise, all financial information presented below, throughout this report, and in the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes includes Mannatech and all of its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.
Overview and Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
For nearly a decade, Mannatech has developed innovative, high-quality, proprietary nutritional supplements, topical products, and weight-management products that are sold through a global network-marketing system throughout the United States, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, Japan, and New Zealand. New Zealand began operations on June 10, 2002 and is serviced by Mannatechs Australian subsidiary. Mannatech operates as a single segment and primarily sells its products through a network of approximately 212,000 independent associates and members who have purchased Mannatechs products within the last 12 months.
For a complete review of Mannatechs critical accounting policies and new accounting pronouncements that may impact Mannatechs operations, refer to Mannatechs Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002. In response to SEC Release No. 33-8040, Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies, Mannatech identified certain policies that are important to the portrayal of its consolidated financial condition and consolidated results of operations. These policies require the application of significant judgment by Mannatechs management. Mannatech periodically analyzes the need for certain estimates, including the need for inventory reserves, impairment of long-lived assets, tax valuation allowances, provisions for doubtful accounts, sales returns, contingencies and litigation, and bases any estimates needed on Mannatechs historical experience, industry standards, and various other assumptions that may be reasonable under the circumstances. Mannatech cautions its readers that actual results could differ from its estimates under different assumptions or conditions. If circumstances alter the various assumptions or conditions used in such estimates or assumptions an adverse effect on Mannatechs consolidated financial condition, changes in financial condition, and results of operations could occur. Mannatechs critical accounting policies include the following:
8
Table of Contents
| Inventory value is reviewed and compared to the market value of inventory and any inventory value in excess of fair market value is written down. In addition, Mannatech reviews its inventory for obsolescence and any inventory identified as obsolete is written off. Mannatechs determination of obsolescence is based on assumptions about demand for its products, estimated future sales, and managements future plans. If actual sales or management plans are less favorable than those originally projected by management, additional inventory reserves or write-downs may be required. Inventory value at March 31, 2003 was $5.9 million and includes an inventory reserve of $158,000. |
| Property and equipment value is reviewed for impairment whenever an event or change in circumstances indicates that the net book value of an asset or group of assets may be unrecoverable. Mannatechs impairment review includes a comparison of future projected cash flows generated by the asset or group of assets with its associated carrying value. Mannatech believes the expected future cash flows approximates or exceeds its net book value; however, if circumstances change and the net book value of the asset or group of assets exceeds expected cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges), an impairment loss would have to be recognized to the extent the net book value of an asset exceeds its fair value. At March 31, 2003, the net book value of Mannatechs property and equipment was $7.0 million. |
| Mannatech evaluates the probability of realizing the future benefits of any of its deferred tax assets and records a valuation allowance when it believes a portion or all of its deferred tax assets may not be realized. If Mannatech is unable to realize the expected future benefits of its deferred tax assets, it would be required to provide an additional valuation allowance. As of March 31, 2003, Mannatech recorded deferred tax assets of $1.0 million, which includes a valuation allowance of $2.8 million. |
| Mannatech defers all of its revenue until its customers receive their shipments. Mannatech also defers a portion of its revenue from the sale of its starter and renewal packs when the revenue exceeds the total average wholesale value of all individual items included in such packs. Mannatech amortizes such deferrals over 12 months. Periodically, certain packs may contain an event admission pass that allows an associate free admission to one of Mannatechs corporate-sponsored events. Beginning in September 2002, certain of Mannatechs packs began to include a one-year subscription to its monthly magazine. Revenue from these packs is allocated between products, event admission, and magazine subscription revenue, based on each of their proportionate average fair value. The event admission revenue and the magazine subscription revenue are amortized over 12 months. In the future, Mannatech may change the contents of its packs or its shipping methods, and as a result may have to defer additional revenue and/or recognize the deferred revenue over an extended period of time. |
| Mannatech capitalizes qualifying costs related to the development of its internally-developed software applications including: GlycoScience.com, a scientific web database; Enterprise System, a sales and commission database; and Success Tracker, a web-based training and marketing tool for its independent associates. Mannatech amortizes such qualifying costs over the estimated useful life of the software application, which is either three or five years. If accounting standards change or if the capitalized software becomes obsolete, Mannatech may be required to write off its capitalized software or accelerate its amortization period. As of March 31, 2003, Mannatechs capitalized software had a remaining net book value of $0.6 million. |

Mannatech primarily derives its revenues from sales of its products, sales of its starter and renewal packs, and from shipping fees. Substantially all product sales are sold to independent associates at published wholesale prices or sold to members at discounted published retail prices. Mannatech periodically changes its starter and renewal packs to meet the current market demands. Each starter and renewal pack includes some combination of Mannatechs latest products and promotional materials. Mannatech tries to offer comparable packs in each country in which it does business; however, because each country has different regulatory guidelines, not all of Mannatechs packs can be offered in all countries. Mannatech defers the recognition of its revenue for product sales until its customers receive their shipments. The net sales by country as a percentage of consolidated net sales and in dollars are as follows:

Mannatech believes the increase in its consolidated net sales of $7.6 million or 23.1% is largely attributable to the increase in pack sales during 2002 and 2003, launching its global associate career and compensation plan, expanding the products lines offered in its international operations, and initiating effective personnel changes in its international operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2003, Mannatechs foreign operations accounted for 30.9% of consolidated net sales, whereas in the same period in 2002, Mannatechs foreign operations accounted for only 22.5% of consolidated net sales.
For the first quarter of 2003, quarterly pack sales were $8.2 million as compared to $6.8 million for the first quarter of 2002. For the first quarter of 2003, Mannatech signed up 28,000 additional new independent associates and members, which brought the total new associates and members who have signed up within the last twelve months to 92,000. For the first quarter of 2002, Mannatech signed up 19,000 additional new independent associates and members, which brought the total new associates and members who had signed up within the twelve months ended March 31, 2002 to 68,000. Mannatech believes this increase in pack sales and new associates is primarily attributed to the launching of its new global associate career and compensation plan. The number of new independent associates and members and the number of independent associates and members who have purchased Mannatechs products within the last 12 months are as follows:

For the remainder of 2003, Mannatech plans to continue to concentrate on increasing net sales. Mannatech believes increasing net sales is primarily dependant upon the following factors:
| continuing its product development strategy; |
| continuing to monitor and refine its new global associate career and compensation plan; and |
| increasing its base of independent associates and members who routinely purchase products. |
10
Table of Contents
Mannatechs product development strategy is divided into three primary areas of focus. The areas of focus are as follows:
| working to ensure a majority of its products is available in all countries in which Mannatech does business; |
| continuing to develop new products that either complement its existing products or create a new demand for its products; and |
| continuing to monitor and modify its existing product formulas to ensure high quality and economies of scale. |
Cost of sales primarily consists of products purchased from third-party manufacturers, costs of promotional materials sold to Mannatechs independent associates, and occasional write-offs of inventories. The product mix of products sold directly affects cost of sales and gross profit, as each product and promotional material has a different gross margin. The product mix is influenced by changes in Mannatechs commission and incentive programs, introduction or discontinuation of certain promotional activities, changes in consumer demand, changes in competitors products, changes in economic conditions, and announcements of new scientific studies and breakthroughs.
Commissions and incentives paid to Mannatechs independent associates are considered Mannatechs most important and most significant expense. Mannatech designs its commissions and incentives to motivate its independent associates and financially reward them for their efforts. Mannatechs commission and incentive program is designed to pay commissions and incentives to independent associates for their global downline activities. The program allows existing and new independent associates to build their individual global networks by expanding their existing downlines into newly-formed international markets rather than requiring independent associates to establish new downlines to qualify for commissions and incentives within each new country. Periodically, Mannatech offers new travel incentives, which are designed to stimulate both pack and product sales. In the first quarter of 2003, Mannatech launched a new travel incentive for its independent associates. The travel incentive allows independent associates achieving certain sales levels to qualify for a trip for two to Cancun, Mexico, plus a chance to win $5,000 in cash for additional achievements. The 2003 travel incentive is estimated to cost approximately $1.8 million.
After two years of research and development, Mannatech launched its new global associate career and compensation plan in September 2002. Overall, the plan eliminated the binary commission structure paid only in the United States and Canada and changed certain qualifying measurements for certain existing commission types in order to pay new associates faster. The plan also increased the payouts of most commissions paid and introduced certain new commission and incentive payments, which further concentrates commission and incentive payments on pack and product sales, as well as help to rejuvenate network development. Mannatech generally pays commission and incentives to its independent associates based on the following:
| an associates placement and position within the overall global plan; |
| the volume of an associates direct and indirect commissionable sales; and |
| an associates achievement of certain sales levels to qualify for various incentives/compensation programs. |
Operating expenses consist primarily of selling and administrative expenses and other operating costs. Selling and administrative expenses are a combination of both fixed and variable expenses and include salaries and benefits, contract labor, shipping and freight, and marketing-related expenses, such as hosting Mannatechs corporate-sponsored events. Other operating costs include utilities, depreciation, travel, consulting fees, professional fees, office expenses, printing-related expenses, and miscellaneous operating expenses.
Income taxes include both domestic and foreign taxes. In 2002, Mannatechs United States federal statutory tax rate was 34% and is expected to remain the same for 2003. Mannatech expects to pay taxes in Australia and in the United Kingdom at a statutory rate of approximately 30%. Mannatech also expects to pay taxes in Japan at a statutory tax rate ranging between 42% and 48%. A portion of Mannatechs income from its international operations is subject to taxation in the countries in which it operates. Although Mannatech may receive foreign tax credits that would reduce the amount of United States taxes owed, Mannatech may not be able to use all of its foreign tax credits in the United States. Mannatech may also incur net operating losses that may not be fully realizable. Mannatech records a valuation allowance for any expected net operating losses that are not likely to be fully realizable in the future.

Three months ended March 31, 2003 compared with the three months ended March 31, 2002
Net sales. Net sales increased 23.1% to $40.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 from $32.9 million for the comparable period in 2002. Net sales primarily consist of both product sales and pack sales. The increase in net sales primarily related to the following:
| a $1.4 million increase in pack sales, which primarily related to the launching of its new global associate career and compensation plan; |
| a $6.2 million increase in product sales, which primarily related to an overall increase of 25,000 additional independent associates who routinely purchase Mannatechs products as compared to the comparable period in 2002; and |
| the timing of Mannafest, Mannatechs largest annual corporate-sponsored event, which moved from April of 2002 to March of 2003. |
Cost of sales. Cost of sales increased 13.6% to $6.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 from $5.9 million for the comparable period in 2002. As a percentage of net sales, cost of sales decreased to 16.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2003 from 17.9% for the comparable period in 2002. The percentage decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of net sales was primarily due to the change in product mix sold.
Commissions and incentives. Commissions and incentives increased 18.1% to $16.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 from $13.8 million for the comparable period in 2002. As a percentage of net sales, commissions decreased to 40.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2003 from 42.0% for the comparable period in 2002. The decrease as a percentage of net sales was the result of a decrease in commissionable sales in relation to total net sales.
Gross profit. Gross profit increased 31.8% to $17.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 from $13.2 million for the comparable period in 2002. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased to 43.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2003 from 40.1% for the comparable period in 2002. The dollar increase was the result of an increase in net sales. The percent changes were primarily attributable to the change in product mix sold.

Table of Contents
Selling and administrative expenses. Selling and administrative expenses increased 30.7% to $9.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 from $7.5 million for the comparable period in 2002. As a percentage of net sales, selling and administrative expenses increased to 24.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2003 from 22.8% for the comparable period in 2002. The increase was primarily due to the following:
| a $1.2 million increase in marketing expenses related to hosting Mannafest in March of 2003 as compared to hosting Mannafest in April of 2002; |
| a $0.5 million increase in payroll and payroll related expenses related to hiring additional personnel, including hiring Sam Caster in March 2002 and canceling his consulting agreement; and |
| a $0.6 million increase in freight costs related to the increase in net sales. |
Other operating costs. Other operating costs increased 26.7% to $5.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 from $4.5 million for the comparable period in 2002. As a percentage of net sales, other operating costs increased to 14.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2003 from 13.7% for the comparable period in 2002. The dollar increase was primarily due to the following:
| a $0.5 million increase in travel expenses primarily related to hosting Mannafest in March of 2003 rather than in April of 2002; |
| a $0.1 million increase in accounting, legal, and consulting services primarily related to the recently enacted regulations, partially offset by a decrease in consulting fees, which related to the canceling of the consulting agreement with Sam Caster in March 2002; and |
| the remaining $0.6 million increase in various expenses, including offsite storage, credit card fees, postage, and telephone expenses, all related to the increase in net sales. |
Interest income. Interest income increased 2.7% to $76,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003 from $74,000 for the comparable period in 2002. The dollar increase was primarily due to maintaining a higher average cash balance.
Interest expense. Interest expense decreased (66.7%) to $2,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003 from $6,000 for the comparable period in 2002. The dollar decrease was primarily due to the repayment of existing capital leases and notes payable.
Other income (expense), net. Other income (expense), net consists primarily of foreign currency translation adjustments related to Mannatechs foreign operations. Other income (expense), net increased to $112,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003 from ($17,000) for the comparable period in 2002. The change in other income (expense), net primarily consisted of currency translation exchange gains and losses.
Income taxes. Income taxes increased to $644,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003 from $619,000 for the comparable period in 2002. Mannatechs effective tax rate decreased to 31.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2003 from 50.9% for the comparable period in 2002. Mannatechs effective tax rate decreased as a result of the expected income mix between its domestic and its foreign operations and decreasing the valuation allowance related to the expected income from its Japanese subsidiary.
Net income. Net income increased 133.3% to $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 from $0.6 million for the comparable period in 2002. The dollar increase was primarily the result of the increase in net sales and controlling operating expenses. As a percentage of net sales, net income increased to 3.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2003 from 1.8% for the comparable period in 2002. Earnings per share for the three-months ended March 31, 2003 was $0.06 as compared to $0.02 for the comparable period in 2002. The increase in earnings per share is primarily the result of an increase in net sales and controlling operating expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Mannatechs principal use of funds is to pay for operating expenses, including commissions and incentives, capital expenditures, and inventory purchases. Historically, Mannatech has generally funded its business objectives, working capital, and operations primarily through reliance on its cash flows from operations rather than incurring long-term debt. Mannatech plans to continue to fund its business objectives, working capital, and operations primarily through its cash flows from operations; however, Mannatech has opened a $2.0 million line of credit and a $0.8 million master-operating lease to help fund any unexpected shortfalls in its cash flows.
Cash and cash equivalents. Mannatechs cash and cash equivalents decreased to $17.4 million at March 31, 2003 from $17.7 million at December 31, 2002 primarily as a result of restricting cash of $2.1 million as collateral related to its new $2.0 million line of credit facility, which was opened in March 2003. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in operating profits.
Working Capital. Mannatechs working capital increased to $11.7 million at March 31, 2003 from $9.5 million at December 31, 2002. The $2.2 million increase in working capital was primarily attributable to an increase in its current assets. Current assets included an increase in restricted cash of $2.1 million related to the opening of a one year line of credit with a bank and an increase in inventory of $0.4 million due to the timing of placing inventory orders.
Mannatechs cash flows consist of the following:

Operating activities. For the three months ended March 31, 2003, operating activities primarily consisted of $2.3 million in earnings before depreciation and amortization, a $0.2 million decrease in accounts receivable, and a $0.2 million increase in accrued expenses, partially offset by a ($0.8 million) increase in inventory and prepaid expenses. Mannatech minimizes its inventory levels while keeping costs relatively constant, which resulted in the improvement of its inventory turnover ratio to 4.69 for the three months ended March 31, 2003 from 3.30 for the comparable period in 2002.
For the three months ended March 31, 2002, operating activities primarily consisted of $1.6 million in earnings before depreciation and amortization and an increase of $1.8 million from the net change in working capital. The net change in working capital was primarily the result of a $2.4 million decrease in inventory.
Investing activities. For the three months ended March 31, 2003, investing activities primarily consisted of restricting cash of $2.1 million as collateral for its line of credit with a bank and acquiring $0.2 million of new computer hardware. Mannatech estimates it will purchase approximately $1.7 million in additional computer hardware and software for the remainder of 2003. The additional purchases relate to upgrading existing hardware and software to increase functionality and further enhance reporting and processing, including its financial reporting system.
For the three months ended March 31, 2002, investing activities primarily consisted of computer hardware and software purchases of $0.3 million and restricting $0.3 million in cash as collateral for its master-operating lease.

Table of Contents
At March 31, 2003, related party notes receivable, net of an allowance of $31,000, totaled $0.3 million. The notes receivable are composed of five separate notes due from former officers and shareholders. Two of the five notes were due from Gary Watson and William C. Fioretti, whose loan balances at March 31, 2003 were $31,000 and $141,000, respectively. As of April 30, 2003, Mr. Fioretti had paid $136,000 of his note receivable. As of April 30, 2003, Mr. Watson had not made his annual scheduled payments for the last two years and has not made his third annual scheduled payment due February 17, 2003. As a result, in late 2002, Mannatech established a provision for doubtful accounts of approximately $31,000 related to Mr. Watsons note.
Financing activities. For each of the three months ended March 31, 2003 and the three months ended March 31, 2002, financing activities consisted of repayments of capital leases and notes payable.
In January 2002, Mannatech entered into a three-year capital lease for warehouse equipment valued at $32,500. In 2002, Mannatech entered into two financing agreements to finance certain annual insurance premiums totaling $0.6 million. The notes require 25% down payment, accrue interest at an average rate of 8% and are due in eight monthly installments through April 2003. In March 2003, Mannatech entered into a one year $2.0 million line of credit with a bank. As of April 30, 2003, Mannatech had not utilized the line of credit.
General liquidity and cash flows. Mannatech generates positive cash flows from its operations and believes that its existing liquidity and cash flows from operations, including current cash-on-hand of $17.4 million, its access to a $2.0 million unused line of credit, and certain operating leases should be adequate to fund its business operations and commitments for the next 12 months. Mannatech believes most of its expenses are primarily variable in nature and, as a result, a reduction in its revenues would result in a reduction of future cash flow needs. However, if Mannatechs existing capital resources or cash flows become insufficient to meet its current business plans and existing capital requirements, Mannatech would be required to raise additional funds, which may not be available on favorable terms, if at all.
Mannatechs Board of Directors periodically reviews its dividend practices and plans to do so in 2003.
Existing commitments and contractual obligations include the following:
| funding the remaining $0.6 million in payments related to the prior year resignations of former executives and funding $1.3 million of payments related to Robert M. Henrys resignation in April 2003; |
| funding the remaining payments relating to the renewal of its annual premiums for its general and product liability insurance policies that are due in monthly installments; |
| funding the remaining non-compete payments to a former medical director of $75,000, payable in monthly installments of $25,000; |
| contingently having to fund an inventory purchase commitment with its supplier of Manapol®, which requires Mannatech and its manufacturer to collectively purchase $1.5 million of Manapol® through August 2003; and |
| funding various operating leases for building and equipment rental of $4.7 million through 2008. |

Mannatech has no present commitments or agreements with respect to acquisitions or purchases of any manufacturing facilities. Mannatech believes any unanticipated future changes in its operations could force it to consume available capital resources faster than anticipated. Mannatech also believes that its existing capital requirements depend on its ability to continue to distribute high-quality, proprietary products that attract and retain independent associates and members.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements. Mannatech does not utilize off-balance sheet financing arrangements and had no such arrangements as of March 31, 2003. Mannatech does finance the use of certain facilities and equipment under various operating lease agreements. As of March 31, 2003, the total future minimum lease payments under such arrangements totaled $4.7 million and are properly not reflected in our consolidated balance sheets.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
SFAS 143. In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 143 (SFAS 143) Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. SFAS 143 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. SFAS 143 requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be determined. In addition, SFAS 143 requires the related asset retirement costs to be capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset and amortized over the life of the lease. On January 1, 2003, Mannatech adopted SFAS 143, which resulted in an increase in its leasehold improvements and long-term liabilities of $253,000 for the estimated restoration costs of its Japanese leased facilities. The cumulative affect of this adjustment was insignificant.
FIN 45. In November 2002, FASB issued Interpretation No. 45 (FIN 45), Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others. FIN 45 is applicable to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. FIN 45 expands the existing disclosure required for most guarantees, including loan guarantees such as standby letter of credit. FIN 45 also requires a company to recognize an initial liability for the fair market value of the obligations it assumes under that guarantee upon issuance and disclosure of certain information about the guarantee in its interim and annual financial statements. The adoption of this interpretation did not have a significant impact on Mannatechs financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Table of Contents
FIN 46. In January 2003, FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. FIN 46 is effective for variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003. FIN 46 is an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements. FIN 46 requires a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entitys activities or entitled to receive a majority of the entitys residual returns or both. The adoption of this interpretation did not have an impact on Mannatechs financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
SFAS 149. In April 2003, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 149 (SFAS 149), Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS 149 amends SFAS 133 Accounting for Derivatives Instruments and Hedging Activities and the related implementation guidance and is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, except for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. SFAS 149 clarifies the definition of a derivative and amends the financial accounting and reporting required for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities. In addition, SFAS 149 improves the financial reporting requirements by requiring a more consistent reporting of contracts as either derivatives or hybrid instruments. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a significant impact on Mannatechs financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
Mannatech believes it is well positioned for the remainder of 2003 and believes its renewed growth and increase in net pack sales for the three months ended March 31, 2003 as compared to the comparable period in 2002, is a promising indication of its future product sales potential. In the second quarter of 2003, Mannatech will record a severance charge of approximately $1.3 million related to the resignation of Robert M. Henry, its former Chief Executive Officer. In addition, Mannatech expects to record an additional $0.9 million in the second quarter of 2003 and $0.6 million in the third quarter that related to its recently announced travel incentive program for it associates.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Mannatech does not engage in trading market risk sensitive instruments and does not purchase investments as hedges or for purposes other than trading that are likely to expose it to certain types of market risk, including interest rate, commodity price or equity price risk. Although Mannatech has some short-term investments, there has been no material change in its exposure to interest rate risk. Mannatech has not issued any debt instruments, entered into any forward or futures contracts, purchased any options, or entered into any swaps.
Mannatech is exposed to certain other market risks, including changes in currency exchange rates as measured against the United States dollar. The value of the United States dollar may affect Mannatechs financial results. Changes in exchange rates could positively or negatively affect its financial results, as expressed in United States dollars. When the United States dollar strengthens against currencies in which products are sold or weakens against currencies in which Mannatech incurs costs, net sales or costs could be adversely affected.
Mannatech has established policies, procedures, and internal processes that it believes help monitor any significant market risk. Mannatech currently does not use any financial instruments to manage its exposure to such risks. The sensitivity of earnings and cash flows to variability in currency exchange rates is assessed by applying an appropriate range of potential rate fluctuations to Mannatechs assets, obligations, and projected transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Mannatech cautions that it cannot predict with any certainty its future exposure to such currency exchange rate fluctuations or the impact, if any, such fluctuations may have on its future business, product pricing, consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. However, to combat such risk, Mannatech closely monitors current fluctuations for exposure to such market risk. The foreign currencies in which Mannatech currently has exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk include the currencies of Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, Japan, and New Zealand. The low and high currency exchange rates to the United States dollar, for each of these countries, for the three months ended March 31, 2003 are as follows:

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Mannatechs chief executive officer and its chief financial officer (its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively) have concluded, based on their evaluation as of a date within 90 days prior to the date of the filing of this report on Form 10-Q, that Mannatechs disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by Mannatech in the report filed or submitted by it under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms, and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by Mannatech in such reports is accumulated and communicated to its management, including Mannatechs chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There were no significant changes in Mannatechs internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of such evaluation.
In February 2003, the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration, or the TGA, notified Mannatech that it was the subject of an investigation. In March 2003, Mannatech was further notified that the allegations by the TGA related to four separate incidents over the period from November 2002 through March 2003. The notification by the TGA alleged that Mannatech and/or its independent associates made certain claims or representations in Australia relating to Mannatechs products that either breached the Therapeutic Goods Advertising Code or resulted in violations of the Therapeutic Goods Act 1989. As a result, Mannatech has taken certain corrective actions, including initiating investigative compliance complaint procedures against certain of its independent associates alleged to have breached Mannatechs associates policies and procedures. Although the TGA has not taken any formal enforcement action against Mannatech, the TGA could initiate certain enforcement actions including prosecution of Mannatech and/or its independent associates and/or canceling the listing of some or all of Mannatechs products that are currently listed under the Australia Register of Therapeutic Goods. If the TGA prosecutes Mannatech or cancels the listing of some or all of its products in Australia it could have an adverse effect on Mannatechs business, financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity.
There have been no other material changes in, or additions to, the legal proceedings previously reported in Mannatechs Annual Report on Form 10-K (File No. 000-24657) for 2002 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2003.
Item 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds
None.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities
Not applicable.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
None.
