NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1: ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Mannatech, Incorporated (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”), located in Coppell, Texas, was incorporated in the state of Texas on November 4, 1993 and is listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “MTEX”. The Company develops, markets, and sells high-quality, proprietary nutritional supplements, topical and skin care products, and weight-management products. We currently sell our products in three regions: (i) North America (the United States, Canada and Mexico); (ii) Europe/the Middle East/Africa (“EMEA”) (Austria, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, the Republic of Ireland, Namibia, the Netherlands, Norway, South Africa, Sweden, the Ukraine and the United Kingdom); (iii) Asia/Pacific (Australia, Hong Kong, Japan, New Zealand, the Republic of Korea, Singapore and Taiwan). In November 2012, the Company commenced the shipment of its products to the Ukraine. In December 2012, the Company commenced the shipment of its products to Hong Kong and officially launched Hong Kong operations in April 2013.

Independent associates (“associates”) purchase the Company’s products at published wholesale prices to either sell to retail customers or for personal use. Members purchase the Company’s products at a discount from published retail prices primarily for personal use. The Company cannot distinguish products sold for personal use from other sales because it is not involved with the products after delivery, other than usual and customary product warranties and returns. Only associates are eligible to earn commissions and incentives.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with instructions for Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the Company’s consolidated financial statements and footnotes contained herein do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) to be considered “complete financial statements”. However, in the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and footnotes contain all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s consolidated financial information as of, and for, the periods presented. The Company cautions that its consolidated results of operations for an interim period are not necessarily indicative of its consolidated results of operations to be expected for its fiscal year. The December 31, 2012 consolidated balance sheet was included in the audited consolidated financial statements in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 and filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 28, 2013 (the “2012 Annual Report”), which includes all disclosures required by GAAP. Therefore, these unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company included in the 2012 Annual Report.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements and footnotes include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the prior years’ consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates that affect the reported value of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. These estimates are based on historical experience and various other factors. The Company continually evaluates the information used to make these estimates as the business and economic environment changes. Historically, actual results have not varied materially from the Company’s estimates, and the Company does not currently anticipate a significant change in its assumptions related to these estimates. However, actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

The use of estimates is pervasive throughout the consolidated financial statements, but the accounting policies and estimates considered the most significant are described in this note to the consolidated financial statements, Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company includes in its cash and cash equivalents credit card receivables due from its credit card processor, as the cash proceeds from credit card receivables are received within 24 to 72 hours of submission to the credit card processor. For each of the periods ended March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, credit card receivables were $1.7 million, and cash and cash equivalents held in bank accounts in foreign countries totaled $12.5 million and $10.8 million, respectively. The Company invests cash in liquid instruments, such as money market funds and interest bearing deposits. The Company also holds cash in high quality financial institutions and does not believe it has an excessive exposure to credit concentration risk.

Restricted Cash

The Company is required to restrict cash for: (i) direct selling insurance premiums and credit card sales in the Republic of Korea; (ii) reserve on credit card sales in the United States and Canada; and (iii) Australia building lease collateral. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, our total restricted cash was $5.1 million and $5.3 million, respectively.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are carried at their estimated collectible amounts. Receivables are created upon shipment of an order if the credit card payment is rejected or does not match the order total. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, receivables consisted primarily of amounts due from members and associates. The Company periodically evaluates its receivables for collectability based on historical experience, recent account activities, and the length of time receivables are past due and writes-off receivables when they become uncollectible. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company held an allowance for doubtful accounts of less than $0.1 million.

Inventories

Inventories consist of raw materials, finished goods, and promotional materials that are stated at the lower of cost or market (using standard costs that approximate average costs). The Company periodically reviews inventories for obsolescence, and any inventories identified as obsolete are reserved or written off.

Other Assets

As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, other assets were $3.1 million and $3.2 million, respectively, and primarily consisted of deposits for building leases in various locations of $1.7 million and $1.8 million, respectively. Additionally, included in the March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 balances was $1.0 million, representing a deposit with Mutual Aid Cooperative and Consumer in the Republic of Korea, an organization established by the Republic of Korea’s Fair Trade Commission to protect consumers who participate in network marketing activities. Also included in the March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, balances was $0.2 million of indefinite lived intangible assets relating to the Manapol® powder trademark.

Other Long-Term Liabilities

Certain operating leases for the Company’s regional office facilities contain a restoration clause that requires the Company to restore the premises to its original condition. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, accrued restoration costs related to these leases amounted to $0.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2013, $0.2 million was reclassified to accrued expenses for leases that expired and were not renewed during the first quarter of 2013. Also included in long-term liabilities at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was an estimated defined benefit obligation related to a non-U.S. defined benefit plan for its Japan operations of $0.7 million, respectively.

In August 2003, the Company entered into a Long-Term Post-Employment Royalty Agreement with Dr. Bill McAnalley, the Company’s former Chief Science Officer, pursuant to which the Company is required to pay Dr. McAnalley, or his heirs, royalties for ten years beginning September 2005 through August 2015. Quarterly payments related to this Long-Term Post-Employment Royalty Agreement are based on certain applicable annual global product sales by the Company in excess of $105.4 million. At the time the Company entered into this Long-Term Post-Employment Royalty Agreement, it was considered a post-employment benefit and the Company was required to measure and accrue the present value of the estimated future royalty payments related to the post-employment royalty benefit and recognize it over the life of Dr. McAnalley’s employment agreement, which was two years. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company’s liability related to this royalty agreement was $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenue is derived from sales of individual products, sales of its starter and renewal packs, and shipping fees. Substantially all of the Company’s product and pack sales are made to associates at published wholesale prices and to members at discounted published retail prices. The Company records revenue net of any sales taxes and records a reserve for expected sales returns based on its historical experience.

The Company recognizes revenue from shipped packs and products upon receipt by the customer. Corporate-sponsored event revenue is recognized when the event is held. The Company defers certain components of its revenue. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company’s deferred revenue was $1.3 million and $1.5 million, respectively, and consisted primarily of revenue received from: (i) sales of packs and products shipped but not received by the customers by period end; and (ii) prepaid registration fees from customers planning to attend a future corporate-sponsored event.

We estimate a sales return reserve for expected sales refunds based on our historical experience over a rolling six- month period. If actual results differ from our estimated sales return reserve due to various factors, the amount of revenue recorded each period could be materially affected. Historically, our sales returns have not materially changed through the years, as the majority of our customers who return their merchandise do so within the first 90 days after the original sale. Sales returns have averaged 1.5% or less of our gross sales. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 our sales return reserve consisted of the following (in thousands):

	March 31, 2013
Sales reserve as of January 1, 2013	$	156
Provision related to sales made in current period		289
Adjustment related to sales made in prior periods		(29	)
Actual returns or credits related to current period		(133	)
Actual returns or credits related to prior periods		(130	)
Sales reserve as of March 31, 2013	$	153

Shipping and Handling Costs

The Company records freight and shipping fees collected from its customers as revenue. The Company records inbound freight as a component of inventory and cost of sales. To improve the matching of costs associated with the revenue from freight and shipping fees collected, beginning December 31, 2012, freight charges associated with shipping products to our customers were reclassified to cost of sales from selling and administrative expenses with prior periods’ presentations adjusted accordingly. Total revenue from freight and shipping fees were approximately $1.9 million and $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Total freight costs included in cost of sales were approximately $1.6 million and $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Commissions and Incentives

Associates earn commissions and incentives based on their direct and indirect commissionable net sales over 13 business periods each year. Each business period equals 28 days. The Company accrues commissions and incentives when earned by associates and pays commissions on product sales three weeks following the business period end and pays commissions on its pack sales five weeks following the business period end.

In order to more closely conform to the financial presentations of our competitors, beginning December 31, 2012, commission and incentive expenses were reclassified to operating expenses from cost of sales with prior periods’ presentations adjusted accordingly. Total commission and incentive expenses reclassified to operating expenses were approximately $17.5 million and $19.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Comprehensive Income (loss) and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources and includes all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. The Company’s comprehensive income (loss) consists of the Company’s net income (loss), foreign currency translation adjustments from its Japan, Republic of Korea, Taiwan, Norway, Sweden, and Mexico operations, and changes in the pension obligation for its Japanese employees.

NOTE 2: INVENTORIES

Inventories consist of raw materials, finished goods, and promotional materials. The Company provides an allowance for any slow-moving or obsolete inventories. Inventories at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, consisted of the following (in thousands):

	March 31, 2013			December 31, 2012
Raw materials	$	5,899		$	6,071
Finished goods		9,171			10,702
Inventory reserves for obsolescence		(1,419	)		(1,619	)
Total	$	13,651		$	15,154

NOTE 3: INCOME TAXES

For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company’s effective tax rate was 39.2% and (15.1)%, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company’s effective income tax rate was determined based on the estimated annual effective income tax rate.

For the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company had a provision for income tax despite the pre-tax losses primarily because of increases in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, increases in uncertain income tax positions, and differences from foreign operations.

Our 2005-2009 tax years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) for U.S. federal tax purposes. On May 26, 2011 the IRS issued a Revenue Agent’s report (“RAR”) detailing proposed adjustments for the tax years under examination. The net tax deficiency associated with the RAR is $8.5 million plus penalties of $1.5 million. On July 8, 2011, we filed a protest letter challenging the proposed adjustments contained in the RAR and are pursuing resolution of these items with the Appeals Division of the IRS. The Company believes the net tax deficiency should approximate amounts previously recorded as uncertain income tax positions. There are other ongoing audits in various international jurisdictions that are not expected to have a material effect on our financial statements.

NOTE 4: EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

The Company calculates basic Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS also reflects the potential dilution that could occur if common stock were issued for awards outstanding under the 2008 Stock Incentive Plan. The Company reported net income for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and during that period a negligible amount of common stock subject to options was dilutive. The Company reported net losses for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and approximately 0.1 million shares of the Company’s common stock subject to options were excluded from the diluted EPS calculation, as the effect would have been antidilutive. In determining the potential dilution effect of outstanding stock options during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company used the quarter’s average common stock close price of $6.07 and $4.17 per share, respectively.

NOTE 5: STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company currently has one active stock-based compensation plan, which was approved by shareholders. The Company grants stock options to employees, consultants, and board members at the fair market value of its common stock, on the date of grant, with a term no greater than ten years. The majority of stock options vest over two or three years. Shareholders who own 10% or more of the Company’s outstanding stock are granted incentive stock options at an exercise price that may not be less than 110% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and have a term no greater than five years.

In February 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the Mannatech, Incorporated 2008 Stock Incentive Plan, which was amended May 30, 2012 (as amended, the “2008 Plan”), which reserves up to 200,000 shares, for issuance of stock options and restricted stock to our employees, board members, and consultants, plus any shares reserved under the Company’s then-existing, unexpired stock plans for which options had not yet been issued, and any shares underlying outstanding options under the then-existing stock option plans that terminate without having been exercised in full. The 2008 Plan was approved by the Company’s shareholders at the 2008 Annual Shareholders’ Meeting and was amended at the 2012 Annual Shareholders’ Meeting to increase the number of shares of common stock subject to the 2008 Plan by 100,000. As of March 31, 2013, the 2008 Plan had 76,108 stock options available for grant before the 2008 Plan expires on February 20, 2018.

The Company records stock-based compensation expense related to granting stock options in selling and administrative expenses. During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company granted 75,000 and 5,000 stock options, respectively. The fair value of stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2013 ranged from $3.53 to $3.57 per share. The Company recognized compensation expense as follows for the three months ended March 31 (in thousands):

	Three months
	2013		2012
Total gross compensation expense	$	37	$	50
Total tax benefit associated with compensation expense		8		11

NOTE 6: SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Equity Line

On September 16, 2010, the Company entered into an Investment Agreement (as amended, the “Investment Agreement”) with Dutchess Opportunity Fund, II, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Investor”), whereby the Company may sell up to $10 million of the Company’s common stock to the Investor over a period of 36 months from the first trading day following the effectiveness of a registration statement registering the resale of shares pursuant to the Investment Agreement (the “Equity Line”).

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company may draw on the Equity Line from time to time, as and when it determines appropriate in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Investment Agreement. The Company is not permitted to draw on the Equity Line unless there is an effective registration statement to cover the resale of the shares. The Company filed a registration statement with the SEC, and on October 28, 2010, the SEC declared effective the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-169774), which registers up to 5,000,000 shares of common stock that may be resold by the Investor pursuant to the Investment Agreement. The number of shares registered on Form S-3 are subject to adjustment for the reverse stock split pursuant to Rule 416 of the Securities Act.

Investors should read the Investment Agreement together with the other information concerning the Company that the Company publicly files in reports and statements with the SEC.

As of May 3, 2013, no shares of common stock have been issued pursuant to the Investment Agreement.

Treasury Stock

The Company is authorized to repurchase the lesser of (i) 131,756 shares and (ii) $1.3 million in shares pursuant to a stock repurchase plan adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors on June 30, 2004 (as amended, the “June 2004 Plan”). On August 28, 2006, a second program permitting the Company to purchase, in the open market, up to $20 million of its outstanding shares was approved by our Board of Directors (the “August 2006 Plan”). The Company has not repurchased any shares of its common stock since July 14, 2011.

As of May 3, 2013, the maximum number of shares available for repurchase under the June 2004 Plan was 19,084, and the total number of shares purchased in the open market under the June 2004 Plan was 112,672. No shares have ever been purchased under the August 2006 Plan. The Company does not have any stock repurchase plans or programs other than the June 2004 Plan and the August 2006 Plan.

NOTE 7: LITIGATION

Administrative Proceedings

Our 2005-2009 tax years remain subject to examination by the IRS for United States federal tax purposes. On May 26, 2011 the IRS issued a RAR detailing proposed adjustments for the tax years under examination. The net tax deficiency associated with the RAR is $8.5 million plus penalties of $1.5 million. On July 8, 2011, we filed a protest letter challenging the proposed adjustments contained in the RAR and are pursuing resolution of these items with the Appeals Division of the IRS. The Company believes the net tax deficiency should approximate amounts previously recorded as uncertain income tax positions. There are other ongoing audits in various international jurisdictions that are not expected to have a material effect on our financial statements.

Litigation in General

The Company is or may become involved in certain legal proceedings incidental to the normal course of business. At this time, we believe that any liabilities relating to such legal proceedings can be resolved without any material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

The Company maintains certain liability insurance; however, certain costs of defending lawsuits are not covered by or are only partially covered by its insurance policies, including claims that are below insurance deductibles. Additionally, insurance carriers could refuse to cover certain claims in whole or in part. The Company accrues costs to defend itself from litigation as they are incurred or as they become determinable.

The outcome of litigation is uncertain, and despite management’s views of the merits of any litigation, or the reasonableness of the Company’s estimates and reserves, the Company’s financial statements could nonetheless be materially affected by an adverse judgment. The Company believes it has adequately reserved for the contingencies arising from current legal matters where an outcome was deemed to be probable, and the loss amount could be reasonably estimated. While it is not possible to predict what liability or damages the Company might incur in connection with any litigation, based on the advice of counsel and management review of the existing facts and circumstances related to certain legal proceedings, and related legal fees, the Company has accrued $0.1 million as of March 31, 2013 for such matters, which is included in accrued expenses in its Consolidated Balance Sheet.

NOTE 8: RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. Under this standard, entities will be required to disclose additional information with respect to changes in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) balances by component and significant items reclassified out of AOCI. Expanded disclosures for presentation of changes in AOCI involve disaggregating the total change of each component of other comprehensive income (for example, unrealized gains or losses on available for sale marketable securities) as well as presenting separately for each such component the portion of the change in AOCI related to (1) amounts reclassified into income and (2) current-period other comprehensive income. Additionally, for amounts reclassified into income, disclosure in one location would be required, based upon each specific AOCI component, of the amounts impacting individual income statement line items. Disclosure of the income statement line item impacts will be required only for components of AOCI reclassified into income in their entirety. This ASU is effective beginning January 1, 2013. Because this standard only impacts presentation and disclosure requirements, its adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition. No additional disclosures were presented during the quarter as there were no material reclassifications from AOCI during the periods presented.

NOTE 9: FAIR VALUE

The Company utilizes fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain financial assets and to determine fair value disclosures.

Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Topic 820 of the FASB ASC establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires the use of observable market data, when available, and prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value in the following categories:

· Level 1 – Quoted unadjusted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

· Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-derived valuations in which all observable inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.

· Level 3 – Model-derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable, including assumptions developed by the Company.

The primary objective of the Company’s investment activities is to preserve principal while maximizing yields without significantly increasing risk. The investment instruments held by the Company are money market funds and interest bearing deposits for which quoted market prices are readily available. The Company considers these highly liquid investments to be cash equivalents. These investments are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued based on quoted market prices in active markets. The Company does not have any material financial liabilities that were required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2013. The table below presents the recorded amount of financial assets measured at fair value (in thousands) on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2013.

NOTE 10: SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company conducts its business as a single operating segment, consolidating all of its business units into a single reportable entity, as a seller of proprietary nutritional supplements, topical and skin care products, and weight-management products through its network marketing distribution channels operating in twenty-four countries. Each of the Company’s business units sells similar packs and products and possesses similar economic characteristics, such as selling prices and gross margins. In each country, the Company markets its products and pays commissions and incentives in similar market environments. The Company’s management reviews its financial information by country and focuses its internal reporting and analysis of revenues by packs and product sales. The Company sells its products through its associates and distributes its products through similar distribution channels in each country. No single associate has ever accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s consolidated net sales.

The Company operates facilities in eleven countries and sells product in twenty-four countries around the world. These facilities are located in the United States, Canada, Switzerland, Australia, the Ukraine, the United Kingdom, Japan, the Republic of Korea (South Korea), Taiwan, South Africa, and Mexico. Each facility services different geographic areas. We currently sell our products in three regions: (i) North America (the United States, Canada and Mexico); (ii) EMEA (Austria, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, the Republic of Ireland, Namibia, the Netherlands, Norway, South Africa, Sweden, the Ukraine and the United Kingdom); (iii) Asia/Pacific (Australia, Hong Kong, Japan, New Zealand, the Republic of Korea, Singapore and Taiwan). In November 2012, the Company commenced the shipment of its products to the Ukraine. In December 2012, the Company commenced the shipment of its products to Hong Kong and officially launched Hong Kong operations in April 2013. The Switzerland office was created to manage certain day-to-day business needs of non-North American markets.

Consolidated net sales shipped to customers in these regions, along with pack and product information for the three months ended March 31, are as follows (in millions, except percentages):

NOTE 11: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On May 10, 2013 the Company was served notice of a lawsuit filed by Ms. Natalie Clark, a former executive with the Company, in the 192nd Judicial District Court, Dallas County, Texas (the “Court”) alleging discrimination and harassment based on gender. Ms. Clark alleges that she was stripped of her duties and wrongfully discharged as part of an alleged “purge of females in key positions” within the Company. Ms. Clark is seeking damages in excess of $1,000,000. The Company has retained counsel and must file its answer with the Court on or before June 3, 2013.

It is not possible at this time to predict whether the Company will incur any liability, or to estimate the ranges of damages, if any, which may be incurred in connection with this matter. However, the Company believes it has a valid defense and will vigorously defend this claim.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion is intended to assist in the understanding of our consolidated financial position and results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012, and should be read in conjunction with Item I “Financial Statements” in Part I of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. 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 our subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

COMPANY OVERVIEW

Since November 1993, we have continued to develop innovative, high-quality, proprietary nutritional supplements, topical and skin care products, and weight-management products that are sold through a global network marketing system. We operate in the in three regions: (i) North America (the United States, Canada and Mexico); (ii) Europe/the Middle East/Africa (“EMEA”) (Austria, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, the Republic of Ireland, Namibia, the Netherlands, Norway, South Africa, Sweden, the Ukraine and the United Kingdom); (iii) Asia/Pacific (Australia, Hong Kong, Japan, New Zealand, the Republic of Korea, Singapore and Taiwan). In November 2012, the Company commenced the shipment of its products to the Ukraine. In December 2012, the Company commenced the shipment of its products to Hong Kong and officially launched Hong Kong operations in April 2013. The Company is currently pursuing a launch of formal operations in the Ukraine market in 2013.

We conduct our business as a single operating segment and primarily sell our products through a network of approximately 231,000 active independent associates and members who have purchased our products and/or packs within the last 12 months, who we refer to as active independent associates and members. New recruits and pack sales are leading indicators for the long-term success of our business. New recruits include new independent associates and members purchasing our packs and products for the first time. We operate as a seller of nutritional supplements, topical and skin care products, and weight-management products through our network marketing distribution channels operating in twenty-four countries. We review and analyze net sales by geographical location and by packs and products on a consolidated basis. Each of our subsidiaries sells similar products and exhibits similar economic characteristics, such as selling prices and gross margins.

Because we sell our products through network marketing distribution channels, the opportunities and challenges that affect us most are: recruitment of new and retention of associates and members; entry into new markets and growth of existing markets; niche market development; new product introduction; and investment in our infrastructure.

Current Economic Conditions and Recent Developments

During the first quarter of 2013 we continued our effort for future revenue growth. We completed entity formation and registrations in the Ukraine in preparation of launching formal operations in 2013. In April 2013 we started formal operations in Hong Kong and we expect that formal operations in the Ukraine will follow later in the year.

The recruitment of new associates and members in the first quarter of 2013 increased by 10.1% compared to first quarter of 2012. The increase in recruitment is due to an increase in the number of first-time members. We believe the increase was due to the 4Free Discount Program in the United States and Canada. Although we had an increase in the number of new independent associates and members, we experienced a decline in overall sales during the first quarter of 2013.

North America net sales declined in the first quarter of 2013 by 8.9% as compared to the first quarter of 2012 due to the reduction in the number of existing independent associates in that region, which resulted in a decline in the number of orders processed. Asia/Pacific net sales declined in the first quarter of 2013 by 1.7% as compared to the first quarter of 2012 due to the unfavorable fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Excluding the fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates, Asia/Pacific net sales increased in the first quarter of 2013 by 1.1%. EMEA net sales declined in the first quarter of 2013 by 12.8% as compared to the first quarter of 2012 in part due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and in part due to the reduction in the number of existing independent associates in that region, which resulted in a decline in the number of orders processed. Excluding the fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates, EMEA net sales declined in the first quarter of 2013 by 5.1%.

We lowered operating expenses as compared to the first quarter of 2012 which generated net income for the first quarter of 2013. The lower operating expenses also favorably impacted our cash flows from operations. We remain dedicated to our 2013 goal of restoring profitability; therefore, we are continuing to monitor operating performance and reduce our operating expenses on a global basis. We expect these targeted expense reductions to continue to have a positive impact on profitability and cash flow.

Consolidated net sales by region for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 were as follows (in millions, except percentages):

Net Sales in Dollars and as a Percentage of Consolidated Net Sales

	2013				2012
North America	$	20.5	49.2	%	$	22.5	50.5	%

Net Sales

Consolidated net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2013 decreased by $2.8 million, or 6.4%, to $41.7 million, as compared to $44.5 million for the same period in 2012.

North American sales decreased by $2.0 million, or 8.9%, to $20.5 million, as compared to $22.5 million for the same period in 2012. The introduction of the 4Free Discount Program in the second quarter of 2012 in the United States and Canada has led to an increase in the number of members being recruited and an increase in revenue being generated from member orders in the first quarter 2013 as compared to the first quarter 2012, although the discount program has contributed to an overall decrease in the average revenue per order. The member increases in recruitment and revenue generation have been offset by a reduction in the revenue being generated from associate orders primarily due to a decline in active associates and a decline in the revenue per order. The net effect of the changes in members and associates is a decline in revenue and a decrease in the revenue per order in the first quarter 2013 as compared to the first quarter 2012.

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, our operations outside of North America accounted for approximately 50.8% of our consolidated net sales, whereas in the same period in 2012, our operations outside of North America accounted for approximately 49.5% of our consolidated net sales.

Asia/Pacific sales decreased by $0.3 million, or 1.7%, to $17.8 million, as compared to $18.1 million for the same period in 2012 due to the impact of the fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates.

EMEA sales decreased by $0.5 million, or 12.8%, to $3.4 million, as compared to $3.9 million for the same period in 2012 in part due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and in part due to the reduction in the number of existing independent associates in that region, which resulted in a decline in the number of orders processed.

Fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates had an overall unfavorable impact on our net sales of approximately $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, of which $0.5 million was attributed to Asia/Pacific and $0.3 million was attributed to EMEA. The net sales impact is calculated as the difference between (1) the current period’s net sales in USD and (2) the current period’s net sales in local currencies converted to USD by applying average exchange rates for the same periods ended March 31, 2012. Excluding these fluctuations, Asia/Pacific net sales would have increased by 1.1% and EMEA net sales would have declined by 5.1%.

Our total sales and sales mix could be influenced by any of the following:

changes in our sales prices;

changes in consumer demand;

changes in the number of associates and members;

changes in competitors’ products;

changes in economic conditions;

changes in regulations;

announcements of new scientific studies and breakthroughs;

introduction of new products;

discontinuation of existing products;

adverse publicity;

changes in our commissions and incentives programs;

direct competition; and

fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

Our sales mix for the three months ended March 31, was as follows (in millions, except percentages):

	Three Months				Change
	2013		2012		Dollar			Percentage
Consolidated product sales	$	37.4	$	39.9	$	(2.5	)		(6.3	)%
Consolidated pack sales		2.3		3.1		(0.8	)		(25.8	)%
Consolidated other, including freight		2.0		1.5		0.5			33.3	%
Total consolidated net sales	$	41.7	$	44.5	$	(2.8	)		(6.4	)%

Pack sales correlate to new associates who purchase starter packs and to continuing associates who purchase upgrade or renewal packs. However, there is no direct correlation between product sales and the number of new and continuing associates and members because associates and members utilize products at different volumes.

Product Sales

Substantially all of our product sales are made to our independent associates at published wholesale prices. We also sell our products to members at discounted published retail prices.

Product sales for the three months ended March 31, 2013 decreased by $2.5 million, or 6.3%, as compared to the same period in 2012. The decrease in product sales was primarily due to the reduction in the average order value, which was attributable to the decrease of 12% in the number of independent associates that purchase our products. The average order value for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $152 as compared to $159 for the same period in 2012. The 4.4% decrease in average order value resulted in approximately $1.6 million in reduced revenue. The number of orders processed during the three months ended March 31, 2013 decreased by 2.0% as compared to the same period in 2012, which resulted in approximately $0.9 million in reduced revenue.

Pack Sales

Packs may be purchased by our independent associates who wish to build a Mannatech business. These packs are offered to our associates at a discount from published retail prices. There are several pack options available to our associates. In certain markets, pack sales are completed during the final stages of the registration process and can provide new associates with valuable training and promotional materials, as well as products for resale to retail customers, demonstration purposes, and personal consumption. Business-building associates can also purchase and sell an upgrade pack, which provides the associate with additional promotional materials, additional products, and eligibility for additional commissions and incentives. Many of our business-building associates also choose to purchase renewal packs to satisfy annual renewal requirements to continue to earn various commissions.

Table of Contents

The dollar amount of pack sales associated with new and continuing associates was as follows, for the three months ended March 31 (in millions, except percentages):

	Three Months				Change
	2013		2012		Dollar			Percentage
New	$	1.3	$	2.1	$	(0.8	)		(38.1	)%
Continuing		1.0		1.0		—			—
Total	$	2.3	$	3.1	$	(0.8	)		(25.8	)%

Total pack sales for the three months ended March 31, 2013 decreased by $0.8 million, or 25.8%, to $2.3 million, as compared to $3.1 million for the same period in 2012. Average pack value for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $124, as compared to $150 for the same period in 2012. The total number of packs sold decreased by 1,600, or 7.8%, to 18,900, and the average pack value decreased by $26, or 17.3%, for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to the same period in 2012. Approximately $0.5 million of the reduction in pack sales resulted from the decrease in average pack value with the remaining decrease attributable to the decline in the number of packs sold during the period.

The approximate number of new and continuing independent associates and members who purchased our packs or products during the twelve months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 were as follows:

	2013				2012
New		99,000	42.9	%		80,000	35.2	%
Continuing		132,000	57.1	%		147,000	64.8	%
Total		231,000	100.0	%		227,000	100.0	%

There was an overall increase in the number of independent associates and members of 4,000, or 1.8%, for the twelve months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012, which was due to a 155% increase in the number of new and continuing members partially offset by a 12% decline in the number of new and continuing independent associates.

During 2012 and continuing into 2013, we took the following actions to recruit and retain associates and members:

registered our products with the appropriate regulatory agencies in all countries of operations;

explored new international markets;

launched an aggressive marketing and educational campaign;

continued to strengthen compliance initiatives;

concentrated on publishing results of research studies and clinical trials related to our products;

initiated additional incentives;

explored new advertising and educational tools to broaden name recognition; and

implemented changes to our global associate career and compensation plan.

Other Sales

Other sales consisted of: (i) freight revenue charged to our independent associates and members; (ii) sales of promotional materials; (iii) monthly fees collected for Success Tracker™ and Navig8™ customized electronic business-building and educational materials, databases and applications; (iv) training and event registration fees; and (v) a reserve for estimated sales refunds and returns. Promotional materials, training, database applications and business management tools support our independent associates, which in turn helps stimulate product sales.

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, other sales increased by $0.5 million, or 33.3%, to $2.0 million, as compared to $1.5 million for the same period in 2012. The increase was primarily due to an increase in freight fees for product and pack shipments. Total revenue from freight and shipping fees were approximately $1.9 million and $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Gross Profit

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, gross profit decreased by $2.2 million, or 6.2%, to $34.0 million, as compared to $36.2 million for the same period in 2012. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased slightly to 81.5%, as compared to 81.4% for the same period in 2012. The reduction in gross profit is due to the decline in sales as compared to the same period in 2012.

To improve the matching of costs associated with revenue from freight and shipping fees, beginning December 31, 2012, freight costs associated with shipping products to our customers were reclassified to cost of sales from selling and administrative expenses with prior periods’ presentations adjusted accordingly. Total freight costs included in cost of sales were approximately $1.6 million and $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Additionally, to more closely conform to the financial presentations of our competitors, royalty costs were reclassified to cost of sales from selling and administrative expenses. Total royalty costs included in cost of sales were approximately $0.1 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

Commission and Incentives

In order to more closely conform to the financial presentations of our competitors, beginning December 31, 2012, commission and incentive expenses have been reclassified to operating expenses from cost of sales with prior periods’ presentations adjusted accordingly. Total commission and incentive expenses reclassified to operating expenses were approximately $17.5 million and $19.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Commission expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2013 decreased by 7.7%, or $1.4 million, to $16.7 million, as compared to $18.1 million for the same period in 2012. The decrease in commissions was due to the decrease in commissionable net sales. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, commissions as a percentage of net sales decreased to 40.0% from 40.7% for the same period in 2012.

Incentive costs for the three months ended March 31, 2013 decreased by 11.1%, or $0.1 million, to $0.8 million, as compared to $0.9 million for the same period in 2012. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, incentives as a percentage of net sales decreased to 1.9% from 2.0% for the same period in 2012.

Selling and Administrative Expenses

Selling and administrative expenses include a combination of both fixed and variable expenses. These expenses consist of compensation and benefits for employees, temporary and contract labor and marketing-related expenses, such as monthly magazine development costs and costs related to hosting our corporate-sponsored events.

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, selling and administrative expenses decreased by $1.0 million, or 10.6%, to $8.6 million, as compared to $9.6 million for the same period in 2012. The decrease in selling and administrative expenses consisted primarily of a $1.4 million decrease in payroll-related costs net of accrued severance of $0.4 million for the separation agreement with B. Keith Clark, partially offset by an increase in marketing expenses of $0.4 million. Selling and administrative expenses, as a percentage of net sales, for the three months ended March 31, 2013 decreased to 20.7% from 21.7% for the same period in 2012.

Other Operating Costs

Other operating costs include travel, accounting/legal/consulting fees, credit card processing fees, banking fees, off-site storage fees, utilities, and other miscellaneous operating expenses. Changes in other operating costs are associated with the changes in our net sales.

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, other operating costs decreased by $0.7 million, or 9.5%, to $6.5 million, as compared to $7.2 million for the same period in 2012. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, other operating costs as a percentage of net sales decreased to 15.6% from 16.1% for the same period in 2012. The decrease in other operating costs was primarily due to a reduction in office expenses of $0.6 million and legal and consulting fees of $0.5 million partially offset by an increase in travel related costs of $0.4 million.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013 decreased by 74.1%, or $1.8 million, to $0.6 million, as compared to $2.4 million for the same period in 2012. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 depreciation and amortization expense as a percentage of net sales decreased to 1.5% from 5.5% for the same period in 2012. The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense was primarily due to the completion of depreciation in March 2012 for our enterprise resource system placed in service in April 2007.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Other income (expense), net primarily consists of foreign currency gains and losses related to translating our foreign subsidiaries’ assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses to the United States dollar and revaluing monetary accounts in the United States, Switzerland, Japan, Republic of Korea, Taiwan, Norway, Sweden, and Mexico using current and weighted-average currency exchange rates. Net foreign currency transaction gains and losses are the result of the United States dollar fluctuating in value against foreign currencies.

Other income (expense), net for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $0.4 million, as compared to other income, net of $0.9 million for the same period in 2012.

(Provision) Benefit for Income Taxes

(Provision) benefit for income taxes includes current and deferred income taxes for both our domestic and foreign operations. Our statutory income tax rates by jurisdiction are as follows for the three months ended March 31:

Country	2013	2012
Australia	30.0%	30.0%
Canada	26.5%	26.0%
Denmark	25.0%	25.0%
Japan	39.4%	42.0%
Mexico	30.0%	30.0%
Norway	28.0%	28.0%
Republic of Korea	22.0%	22.0%
Singapore	17.0%	17.0%
South Africa	28.0%	28.0%
Sweden	22.0%	26.3%
Switzerland	16.2%	16.2%
Taiwan	17.0%	17.0%
United Kingdom	24.0%	24.0%
United States	37.5%	37.5%

Income from our international operations is subject to taxation in the countries in which we operate. Although we may receive foreign income tax credits that would reduce the total amount of income taxes owed in the United States, we may not be able to fully utilize our foreign income tax credits in the United States.

We use the recognition and measurement provisions of FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, to account for income taxes. The provisions of the Income Tax Topic require a company to record a valuation allowance when the “more likely than not” criterion for realizing net deferred tax assets cannot be met. Furthermore, the weight given to the potential effect of such evidence should be commensurate with the extent to which it can be objectively verified. As a result, we reviewed the operating results, as well as all of the positive and negative evidence related to realization of such deferred tax assets to evaluate the need for a valuation allowance in each tax jurisdiction.

Table of Contents

For each of the periods ended March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we maintained the following valuation allowances for deferred tax assets totaling $8.5 million, as we believe the “more likely than not” criterion for recognition and realization purposes, as defined in FASB ASC Topic 740, cannot be met.

Country	March 31, 2013		December 31, 2012
	(in millions)
Mexico	$	2.4	$	2.3
Norway		0.2		0.2
Sweden		0.1		0.1
Switzerland		1.1		1.0
Taiwan		1.2		1.2
United States		3.5		3.7
Total	$	8.5	$	8.5

The dollar amount of the provisions for income taxes is directly related to our profitability and changes in the taxable income among countries. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, our effective tax rate was 39.2% as compared to (15.1)% for the same period in 2012. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company’s effective income tax rate was determined based on the estimated annual effective income tax rate.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash and Cash Equivalents

As of March 31, 2013, our cash and cash equivalents increased by 4.9%, or $0.7 million, to $15.1 million from $14.4 million as of December 31, 2012. The increase in cash and cash equivalents was attributable to $2.3 million provided by operating activities partially offset by the effect of currency exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents of $1.2 million and repayments of capital lease obligation of $ 0.4 million.

Our principal use of cash is to pay for operating expenses, including commissions and incentives, capital assets, inventory purchases and international expansion. In August 2009, the quarterly cash dividend was suspended and remained suspended as of March 31, 2013. We fund our business objectives, operations, and expansion of our operations through net cash flows from operations rather than incurring long-term debt.

Working Capital

Working capital represents total current assets less total current liabilities. At March 31, 2013, our working capital decreased slightly by $0.1 million, or 0.9%, to $11.0 million from $11.1 million at December 31, 2012.

Net Cash Flows

Our net consolidated cash flows consisted of the following, for the three months ended March 31 (in millions):

Used in:	2013			2012
Operating activities	$	2.3		$	(3.6	)
Investing activities	$	(0.1	)	$	(0.4	)
Financing activities	$	(0.4	)	$	(0.4	)

Operating Activities

As reflected in the table above, we generated positive operating cash flow in the first quarter of 2013 versus negative operating cash in the first quarter of 2012. Cash provided by operating activities was $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to cash used in operating activities of $3.6 million for the same period in 2012. The cash provided for the three months ended March 31, 2013 primarily relates to net earnings adjusted for noncash activities which generated cash of $1.5 million and our working capital accounts of $0.8 million. The cash used for the three months ended March 31, 2012 primarily relates to our working capital accounts use of cash of $5.0 million, a reported net loss of $1.4 million adjusted by noncash activities that provided cash of $2.8 million.

We will continue to aggressively identify opportunities and reduce operational expenses. We expect that our net operating cash flows for the remainder of the year will be sufficient to fund our current operations. There can be no assurance, however, that we will continue to generate cash flows at or above current levels. Certain events, such as the uncertainty of the worldwide economic environment, could impact our available cash or our ability to generate cash flows from operations.

Investing Activities

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, our net investing activities used cash of $0.1 million compared to cash used of $0.5 million for the same period of 2012. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 we used cash of $0.1 million during each period to purchase capital assets. In the first quarter of 2012, we had an increase in restricted cash of $0.4 million, which was not replicated in the first quarter of 2013.

Financing Activities

For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, we used cash of $0.4 million in each period to repay capital lease obligations.

General Liquidity and Cash Flows

Short Term Liquidity

We believe our existing liquidity and anticipated return to positive cash flows from operations are adequate to fund our normal expected future business operations and possible international expansion costs for the next 12 months. As our primary source of liquidity is our cash flow from operations, this will be dependent on our ability to reverse the declining revenue trend and/or continue to reduce operational expenses. However, if our existing capital resources or cash flows become insufficient to meet current business plans, projections, and existing capital requirements, we may be required to raise additional funds, which may not be available on favorable terms, if at all.

We entered into an Investment Agreement with Dutchess Opportunity Fund, II, LP, a Delaware limited partnership on September 16, 2010. Dutchess committed to purchase, subject to certain restrictions and conditions, up to $10 million of our common stock, over a period of 36 months from the first trading following the effectiveness of the registration statement, which was October 28, 2010. We may draw funds from the Equity Line by selling shares of common stock to Dutchess from time to time. We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of these shares of common stock offered by Dutchess. We will however, receive proceeds from the sale of shares to Dutchess pursuant to the Equity Line. The proceeds will be used for general working capital needs and for other general corporate purposes. For more information on the Equity Line, see Note 6 “Shareholders’ Equity”, to our consolidated financial statements. As of March 31, 2013, no shares of common stock have been issued pursuant to the Investment Agreement.

We are engaged in ongoing audits in various tax jurisdictions and other disputes in the normal course of business. It is impossible at this time to predict whether we will incur any liability, or to estimate the ranges of damages, if any, in connection with these matters. Adverse outcomes on these uncertainties may lead to substantial liability or enforcement actions that could adversely affect our cash position. For more information, see Note 3 “Income Taxes” and Note 7 “Litigation” to our consolidated financial statements.

Long Term Liquidity

We believe our anticipated return to positive cash flows from operations should be adequate to fund our normal expected future business operations and possible international expansion costs for the long term. As our primary source of liquidity is from our cash flow from operations, this will be dependent on our ability to reverse the declining revenue trend and/or continue to reduce operational expenses.

However, if our existing capital resources or cash flows become insufficient to meet anticipated business plans and existing capital requirements, we may be required to raise additional funds, which may not be available on favorable terms, if at all.

Our future access to the capital markets may be adversely impacted if we fail to maintain compliance with the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules for the continued listing of our stock. We continuously monitor our compliance with the Nasdaq continued listing rules and as of the date of the issuance of this report, we are in compliance with the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules.

For purposes of the table, a purchase obligation is defined as “an agreement to purchase goods or services that is non-cancelable, enforceable and legally binding on the Company that specifies all significant terms, including: fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of the transaction.”

(2)	Excludes approximately $7.6 million of finished product purchase orders that may be cancelled or delivery dates changed as of March 31, 2013.

(3)	Represents the tax liability associated with uncertain tax positions, see Note 3 "Income Taxes" to our consolidated financial statements,.

We have maintained purchase commitments with certain raw material suppliers to purchase minimum quantities and to ensure exclusivity of our raw materials and the proprietary nature of our products. Currently, we have two supply agreements that require minimum purchase commitments. We also maintain other supply agreements and manufacturing agreements to protect our products, regulate product costs, and help ensure quality control standards. These agreements do not require us to purchase any set minimums. We have no present commitments or agreements with respect to acquisitions or purchases of any manufacturing facilities; however, management from time to time explores the possible benefits of purchasing a raw material manufacturing facility to help control costs of our raw materials and help ensure quality control standards.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We do not have any special-purpose entity arrangements, nor do we have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The application of GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported values of assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period, and the related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. We use estimates throughout our financial statements, which are influenced by management’s judgment and uncertainties. Our estimates are based on historical trends, industry standards, and various other assumptions that we believe are applicable and reasonable under the circumstances at the time the consolidated financial statements are prepared. Our Audit Committee reviews our critical accounting policies and estimates. We continually evaluate and review our policies related to the portrayal of our consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations that require the application of significant judgment by our management. We also analyze the need for certain estimates, including the need for such items as allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory reserves, long-lived fixed assets and capitalization of internal-use software development costs, reserve for uncertain income tax positions and tax valuation allowances, revenue recognition, sales returns, and deferred revenues, accounting for stock-based compensation, and contingencies and litigation. Historically, actual results have not materially deviated from our estimates. However, we caution readers that actual results could differ from our estimates and assumptions applied in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. If circumstances change relating to the various assumptions or conditions used in our estimates, we could experience an adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. We have identified the following applicable critical accounting policies and estimates as of March 31, 2013:

Table of Contents

Inventory Reserves

Inventory consists of raw materials, finished goods, and promotional materials that are stated at the lower of cost (using standard costs that approximate average costs) or market. We record the amounts charged by the vendors as the costs of inventory. Typically, the net realizable value of our inventory is higher than the aggregate cost. Determination of net realizable value can be complex and, therefore, requires a high degree of judgment. In order for management to make the appropriate determination of net realizable value, the following items are considered: inventory turnover statistics, current selling prices, seasonality factors, consumer demand, regulatory changes, competitive pricing, and performance of similar products. If we determine the carrying value of inventory is in excess of estimated net realizable value, we write down the value of inventory to the estimated net realizable value.

We also review inventory for obsolescence in a similar manner, and any inventory identified as obsolete is reserved or written off. Our determination of obsolescence is based on assumptions about the demand for our products, product expiration dates, estimated future sales, and general future plans. We monitor actual sales compared to original projections, and if actual sales are less favorable than those originally projected by us, we record an additional inventory reserve or write-down. Historically, our estimates have been close to our actual reported amounts. However, if our estimates regarding inventory obsolescence are inaccurate or consumer demand for our products changes in an unforeseen manner, we may be exposed to additional material losses or gains in excess of our established estimated inventory reserves.

Long Lived Fixed Assets and Capitalization of Software Development Costs

In addition to capitalizing long lived fixed asset costs, we also capitalize costs associated with internally-developed software projects (collectively “fixed assets”) and amortize such costs over the estimated useful lives of such fixed assets. Fixed assets are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation computed using the straight-line method over the assets’ estimated useful lives. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the remaining lease terms or the estimated useful lives of the improvements. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. If a fixed asset is sold or otherwise retired or disposed of, the cost of the fixed asset and the related accumulated depreciation or amortization is written off and any resulting gain or loss is recorded in other operating costs in our consolidated statement of operations.

We review our fixed assets for impairment whenever an event or change in circumstances indicates the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets may not be recoverable, such as plans to dispose of an asset before the end of its previously estimated useful life. Our impairment review includes a comparison of future projected cash flows generated by the asset, or group of assets, with its associated net carrying value. If the net carrying value of the asset or group of assets exceeds expected cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges), an impairment loss is recognized to the extent the carrying amount exceeds the fair value. The fair value is determined by calculating the discounted expected future cash flows using an estimated risk-free rate of interest. Any identified impairment losses are recorded in the period in which the impairment occurs. The carrying value of the fixed asset is adjusted to the new carrying value, and any subsequent increases in fair value of the fixed asset are not recorded. In addition, if we determine the estimated remaining useful life of the asset should be reduced from our original estimate; the periodic depreciation expense is adjusted prospectively, based on the new remaining useful life of the fixed asset.

The impairment calculation requires us to apply judgment and estimates concerning future cash flows, strategic plans, useful lives, and discount rates. If actual results are not consistent with our estimates and assumptions, we may be exposed to an additional impairment charge, which could be material to our results of operations. In addition, if accounting standards change, or if fixed assets become obsolete, we may be required to write off any unamortized costs of fixed assets, or if estimated useful lives change, we would be required to accelerate depreciation or amortization periods and recognize additional depreciation expense in our consolidated statement of operations.

Table of Contents

Historically, our estimates and assumptions related to the carrying value and the estimated useful lives of our fixed assets have not materially deviated from actual results. As of March 31, 2013, the estimated useful lives and net carrying values of fixed assets were as follows:

	Estimated useful life	Net carrying value at March 31, 2013
Office furniture and equipment	5 to 7 years	$	1.0 million
Computer hardware and software	3 to 5 years		1.3 million
Automobiles	3 to 5 years		0.1 million
Leasehold improvements	2 to 10 years(1)		1.9 million
Total net carrying value at March 31, 2013		$	4.3 million

(1)	We amortize leasehold improvements over the shorter of the useful estimated life of the leased asset or the lease term.

The net carrying costs of fixed assets and construction in progress are exposed to impairment losses if our assumptions and estimates of their carrying values change, there is a change in estimated future cash flow, or there is a change in the estimated useful life of the fixed asset. Based on management’s analysis, no impairment indicators existed for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Uncertain Income Tax Positions and Tax Valuation Allowances

As of March 31, 2013, we recorded $2.9 million in taxes payable and $0.2 million in other long-term liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet related to uncertain income tax positions. As required by FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, we use judgments and make estimates and assumptions related to evaluating the probability of uncertain income tax positions. We base our estimates and assumptions on the potential liability related to an assessment of whether the income tax position will “more likely than not” be sustained in an income tax audit. We are also subject to periodic audits from multiple domestic and foreign tax authorities related to income tax and other forms of taxation. These audits examine our tax positions, timing of income and deductions, and allocation procedures across multiple jurisdictions. As part of our evaluation of these tax issues, we establish reserves in our consolidated financial statements based on our estimate of current probable tax exposures. Depending on the nature of the tax issue, we could be subject to audit over several years. Therefore, our estimated reserve balances and liability related to uncertain income tax positions may exist for multiple years before the applicable statute of limitations expires or before an issue is resolved by the taxing authority. Additionally, we may be requested to extend the statute of limitations for tax years under audit. The majority of our current tax liability related to uncertain tax positions is associated with an ongoing Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) audit. It is reasonably possible the tax jurisdiction may request that the statute of limitations be extended, which may cause the classification between current and long-term to change. We believe our tax liabilities related to uncertain tax positions are based upon reasonable judgment and estimates; however, if actual results materially differ, our effective income tax rate and cash flows could be affected in the period of discovery or resolution.

Our 2005-2009 tax years remain subject to examination by the IRS for U.S. federal tax purposes. On May 26, 2011 the IRS issued a RAR detailing proposed adjustments for the tax years under examination. The net tax deficiency associated with the RAR is $8.5 million plus penalties of $1.5 million. On July 8, 2011, we filed a protest letter challenging the proposed adjustments contained in the RAR and are pursuing resolution of these items with the Appeals Division of the IRS. The Company believes the net tax deficiency should approximate amounts previously recorded as uncertain income tax positions. There are other ongoing audits in various international jurisdictions that are not material to our financial statements.

We also review the estimates and assumptions used in evaluating the probability of realizing the future benefits of our deferred tax assets and record a valuation allowance when we believe that a portion or all of the deferred tax assets may not be realized. If we are unable to realize the expected future benefits of our deferred tax assets, we are required to provide a valuation allowance. We use our past history and experience, overall profitability, future management plans, and current economic information to evaluate the amount of valuation allowance to record. As of March 31, 2013, we maintained a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets arising from our operations of $8.5 million because they did not meet the “more likely than not” criteria as defined by the recognition and measurement provisions of FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. In addition, as of March 31, 2013, we had deferred tax assets, after valuation allowance, totaling $3.3 million, which may not be realized if our assumptions and estimates change, which would affect our effective income tax rate and cash flows in the period of discovery or resolution.

Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue

We derive revenue from sales of individual products, sales of starter and renewal packs, and shipping fees. Substantially all product and pack sales are made to associates at published wholesale prices and to members at discounted published retail prices. We record revenue net of any sales taxes and record a reserve for expected sales returns based on historical experience. We recognize revenue from shipped packs and products upon receipt by the customer. We recognize corporate-sponsored event revenue when the event is held. We defer certain components of our revenue, which primarily consists of: (i) revenue received from sales of packs and products shipped but not received by the customers at period end; and (ii) revenue received from prepaid registration fees from customers planning to attend a future corporate-sponsored event. At March 31, 2013, total deferred revenue was $1.3 million. Significant changes in our shipping methods could result in additional revenue deferrals.

Product Return Policy

We stand behind our packs and products and believe we offer a reasonable and industry-standard product return policy to all of our customers. We do not resell returned products. Refunds are not processed until proper approval is obtained. All refunds must be processed and returned in the same form of payment that was originally used in the sale. Each country in which we operate has specific product return guidelines. However, we allow our associates and members to exchange products as long as the products are unopened and in good condition. Our return policies for our retail customers and our associates and members are as follows:

Retail Customer Product Return Policy. This policy allows a retail customer to return any of our products to the original associate who sold the product and receive a full cash refund from the associate for the first 180 days following the product’s purchase if located in the United States and Canada, and for the first 90 days following the product’s purchase in the remaining countries. The associate may then return or exchange the product based on the associate product return policy.

Associate and Member Product Return Policy. This policy allows the associate or member to return an order within one year of the purchase date upon terminating his/her account. If an associate or member returns a product unopened and in good condition, he/she may receive a full refund minus a 10% restocking fee. We may also allow the associate or member to receive a full satisfaction guarantee refund if they have tried the product and are not satisfied for any reason, excluding promotional materials. This satisfaction guarantee refund applies in the United States and Canada, only for the first 180 days following the product’s purchase, and applies in the remaining countries for the first 90 days following the product’s purchase; however, any commissions earned by an associate will be deducted from the refund. If we discover abuse of the refund policy, we may terminate the associate’s or member’s account.

Historically, sales returns estimates have not materially deviated from actual sales returns, as the majority of our customers who return merchandise do so within the first 90 days after the original sale. Based upon our return policies and historical experience, we estimate a sales return reserve for expected sales refunds over a rolling six month period. If actual results differ from our estimated sales returns reserves due to various factors, the amount of revenue recorded each period could be materially affected. Historically, our sales returns have not materially changed through the years and have averaged 1.5% or less of our gross sales.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

We grant stock options to our employees, board members, and consultants. At the date of grant, we determine the fair value of a stock option award and recognize compensation expense over the requisite service period, or the vesting period of such stock option award, which is two to four years. The fair value of the stock option award is calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model (“calculated fair value”). The Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires us to apply judgment and use highly subjective assumptions, including expected stock option life, expected volatility, expected average risk-free interest rates, and expected forfeiture rates. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, our assumptions and estimates used for the calculated fair value of stock options granted in 2013 were as follows:

	February 2013 grant			March 2013 grant
Estimated fair value per share of options granted:	$	3.57		$	3.53
Assumptions:
Annualized dividend yield		0.00	%		0.00	%
Risk-free rate of return		.75	%		.66	%
Common stock price volatility		82.3	%		82.0	%
Expected average life of stock options (in years)		4.5			4.5

The assumptions we use are based on our best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties related to market conditions that are outside of our control. If actual results are not consistent with the assumptions we use, the stock-based compensation expense reported in our consolidated financial statements may not be representative of the actual economic cost of stock-based compensation. For example, if actual employee forfeitures significantly differ from our estimated forfeitures, we may be required to make an adjustment to our consolidated financial statements in future periods. As of March 31, 2013, using our current assumptions and estimates, we anticipate recognizing $0.3 million in gross compensation expense through 2016 related to unvested stock options outstanding.

If we grant additional stock options in the future, we would be required to recognize additional compensation expense over the vesting period of such stock options in our consolidated statement of operations. Gross compensation expense would equal the calculated fair value of such stock options, which is dependent on the assumptions used to calculate such fair value, but has historically ranged between 34% to 69% of the exercise price multiplied by the number of stock options awarded. As of March 31, 2013, we had 76,108 shares available for grant in the future.

Contingencies and Litigation

Each quarter, we evaluate the need to establish a reserve for any legal claims or assessments. We base our evaluation on our best estimates of the potential liability in such matters. The legal reserve includes an estimated amount for any damages and the probability of losing any threatened legal claims or assessments. We consult with our general and outside counsel to determine the legal reserve, which is based upon a combination of litigation and settlement strategies. Although we believe that our legal reserve and accruals are based on reasonable judgments and estimates, actual results could differ, which may expose us to material gains or losses in future periods. If actual results differ, if circumstances change, or if we experience an unanticipated adverse outcome of any legal action, including any claim or assessment, we would be required to recognize the estimated amount which could reduce net income, earnings per share, and cash flows.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We do not engage in trading market risk sensitive instruments and do not purchase investments as hedges or for purposes “other than trading” that are likely to expose us to certain types of market risk, including interest rate, commodity price, or equity price risk. Although we have investments, we believe there has been no material change in our exposure to interest rate risk. We have not issued any debt instruments, entered into any forward or futures contracts, purchased any options, or entered into any swap agreements.

We are exposed, however, to other market risks, including changes in currency exchange rates as measured against the United States dollar. Because the change in value of the United States dollar measured against foreign currency may affect our consolidated financial results, changes in foreign currency exchange rates could positively or negatively affect our results as expressed in United States dollars. For example, when the United States dollar strengthens against foreign currencies in which our products are sold or weakens against foreign currencies in which we may incur costs, our consolidated net sales or related costs and expenses could be adversely affected.

We believe inflation has not had a material impact on our consolidated operations or profitability. We expanded into Canada in 1996, into Australia in 1998, into the United Kingdom in 1999, into Japan in 2000, into New Zealand in 2002, into the Republic of Korea in 2004, into Taiwan and Denmark in 2005, into Germany in 2006, into South Africa and Singapore in 2008, into Austria, the Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden in September 2009, into Mexico in January 2011, into the Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, and the Republic of Ireland in June 2011 and into the Republic of Namibia in August 2011. We translate our revenues and expenses in foreign markets using an average rate.

We maintain policies, procedures, and internal processes in an effort to help monitor any significant market risks and we do not use any financial instruments to manage our exposure to such risks. We assess the anticipated foreign currency working capital requirements of our foreign operations and maintain a portion of our cash and cash equivalents denominated in foreign currencies sufficient to satisfy most of these anticipated requirements.

We caution that we cannot predict with any certainty our future exposure to such currency exchange rate fluctuations or the impact, if any, such fluctuations may have on our future business, product pricing, operating expenses, and on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. However, to combat such market risk, we closely monitor our exposure to currency fluctuations. The regions and countries in which we currently have exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk include (i) North America (Canada and Mexico); (ii) EMEA (Austria, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, the Republic of Ireland, the Netherlands, Norway, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom); (iii) Asia/Pacific (Australia, Japan, New Zealand, the Republic of Korea, Singapore, and Taiwan). The current (spot) rate, average currency exchange rates, and the low and high of such currency exchange rates as compared to the United States dollar, for each of these countries as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2013 were as follows:

Country (foreign currency name)	Low		High		Average		Spot
