management’s goals and plans for future operations;

 

   

our ability to improve operational efficiencies, manage costs and business risks and improve or maintain profitability;

 

   

growth, expansion, diversification, acquisition, divestment and consolidation strategies, the success of such strategies, and the benefits we believe can be derived from such strategies;

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

A. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and applicable rules and regulations. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In management’s opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been included and are of a normal, recurring nature. The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future periods.

You should read the financial statements and these notes, which are an integral part of the financial statements, together with our audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 (“2011 Annual Report”). The accounting policies used to prepare the financial statements included in this report are the same as those described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements in our 2011 Annual Report unless otherwise noted below.

Reclassifications

Certain items previously reported in prior year’s consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on previously reported total assets, stockholder’s equity, or net income.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS. The amendments in this update are the result of the work of the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) to develop common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The amendment becomes effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, which will be the third quarter of our fiscal 2012. We are currently assessing the future impact of this ASU to our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income. The objective of this update is to improve the comparability, consistency, and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income. The update will become effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, which will be the third quarter of our fiscal 2012. The update will eliminate the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. Additionally, the update will require companies to present all non-owner changes in stockholders’ equity either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 concerns disclosures only and will not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Net Income per Common Share

We compute net income per common share using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, and diluted net income per common share using the additional dilutive effect of all dilutive securities. The dilutive impact of stock options account for the additional weighted average shares of common stock outstanding for our diluted net income per common share computation. We calculated basic and diluted net income per common share as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

Table of Contents

Shares related to stock options totaling 576,750 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, and 475,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per common share, as the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

Revenue Recognition

To recognize revenue, four basic criteria must be met: 1) there is evidence that an arrangement exists; 2) delivery has occurred; 3) the fee is fixed or determinable; and 4) collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue from sales transactions where the buyer has the right to return the product is recognized at the time of sale only if (1) the seller’s price to the buyer is substantially fixed or determinable at the date of sale; (2) the buyer has paid the seller, or the buyer is obligated to pay the seller and the obligation is not contingent on resale of the product; (3) the buyer’s obligation to the seller would not be changed in the event of theft or physical destruction or damage of the product; (4) the buyer acquiring the product for resale has economic substance apart from that provided by the seller; (5) the seller does not have significant obligations for future performance to directly bring about resale of the product by the buyer; and (6) the amount of future returns can be reasonably estimated. We recognize revenue upon determination that all criteria for revenue recognition have been met. The criteria are usually met at the time title passes to the customer, which usually occurs upon shipment. Revenue from shipments where title passes upon delivery is deferred until the shipment has been delivered.

We also enter into arrangements whereby revenues are derived from multiple deliverables. In these arrangements, we record revenue as separate elements if the delivered items have value to the customer on a standalone basis, and if the arrangement includes a general right of return relative to the delivered item, delivery or performance of the undelivered items is considered probable and substantially in the seller’s control. Arrangement consideration should be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method that is based on a three-tier hierarchy. The relative selling price method allocates any discount in the arrangement proportionally to each deliverable on the basis of each deliverable’s estimated selling price. Applicable revenue recognition criteria are also considered separately for separate units of accounting. Revenues from multiple-element arrangements involving license fees, up-front payments and milestone payments, which are received and/or billable in connection with other rights and services that represent our continuing obligations, are deferred until all applicable revenue recognition criteria are met for each separable element. Contract interpretation is normally required to determine the appropriate accounting, including whether the deliverables specified in a multiple element arrangement should be treated as separate units of accounting for revenue recognition purposes, and if so, how the price should be allocated among the multiple-elements, when to begin to recognize revenue for each element, and the period over which revenue should be recognized.

We record reductions to gross revenue for estimated returns of private label contract manufacturing products and branded products. The estimated returns are based on the trailing six months of private label contract manufacturing gross sales and our historical experience for both private label contract manufacturing and branded product returns. However, the estimate for product returns does not reflect the impact of a potential large product recall resulting from product nonconformance or other factors as such events are not predictable nor is the related economic impact estimable.

We currently own certain U.S. patents, and each patent’s corresponding foreign patent applications. All of these patents and patent rights relate to the ingredient known as beta-alanine marketed and sold under the CarnoSyn® trade name. We have sold this ingredient to a customer for use in a limited market, and since March 2009 have had an agreement with Compound Solutions, Inc. (CSI) under which we have agreed to grant a license of certain of our patent rights to customers of CSI who purchase beta-alanine from CSI. Before October 1, 2011, we received a fee from CSI that varied based on the amount of net sales of beta-alanine sold by CSI less CSI’s costs and other agreed upon expenses. As of October 1, 2011, we receive a fee from CSI that varies based on the quantity of beta-alanine sold by CSI and the source of such beta-alanine.

In June 2011, we entered into a license and supply agreement with Abbott Laboratories (Abbott) under which we agreed to grant an exclusive license for the use of beta-alanine in certain medical foods and medical nutritionals. Under the agreement, Abbott paid an initial license fee of $300,000. The Abbott agreement is for a term of 10 years but Abbott may terminate the agreement at any time up to March 31, 2012. Unless sooner terminated by Abbott, upon achievement of certain milestones, the Abbott agreement requires Abbott to pay additional license fees to NAI of $450,000 on or before March 31, 2012, including $150,000 in January 2012. Unless terminated before March 31, 2012, the agreement also requires Abbott to pay to NAI additional license fees in the amount of $4,250,000 in six annual payments beginning on March 31, 2012. Subject to certain other conditions set forth in the agreement, after April 1, 2012 and until terminated by either party, Abbott is required to purchase certain material exclusively from NAI and make royalty payments to NAI upon Abbott’s sale of products subject to the agreement. Because Abbott may terminate the agreement at any time up to March 31, 2012, there is no assurance NAI will receive any of the additional license fees or royalty payments described above. No royalty payments were received during the three months ended September 30, 2011.

Table of Contents

We recorded royalty income as a component of revenue in the amount of $1.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2011 and $316,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2010. These royalty income amounts result in royalty expense paid to the original patent holders from whom NAI acquired the patents and its patent rights. We recognized royalty expense as a component of cost of goods sold in the amount of $262,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2011 and $59,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2010.

Stock-Based Compensation

We have an omnibus incentive plan that was approved by our Board of Directors effective as of October 15, 2009 and approved by our stockholders at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on November 30, 2009. Under the plan, we may grant nonqualified and incentive stock options and other stock-based awards to employees, non-employee directors and consultants. Our prior equity incentive plan was terminated effective as of November 30, 2009.

We estimate the fair value of stock option awards at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. Option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions. Black-Scholes uses assumptions related to volatility, the risk-free interest rate, the dividend yield (which we assume to be zero, as we have not paid any cash dividends) and employee exercise behavior. Expected volatilities used in the model are based on the historical volatility of our stock price. The risk-free interest rate is derived from the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect in the period of grant. The expected life of stock option grants is derived from historical experience.

Our net income included stock based compensation expense of approximately $56,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and approximately $62,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. We use a three-level hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect our assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on the best information available under the circumstances.

The fair value hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the source of inputs. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs use quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. We classify cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities balances as Level 1 assets. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs are based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active and models for which all significant inputs are observable or can be corroborated, either directly or indirectly by observable market data. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. These include certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

Our financial statements include the following Level 1 financial instruments: cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses. We believe the carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities in the financial statements approximate the fair values of these financial instruments at September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011. We classify derivative forward exchange contracts as Level 2 assets. The fair value of our forward exchange contracts as of September 30, 2011 was an asset of $715,000. The fair value of our forward exchange contracts as of June 30, 2011 was a liability of $15,000. As of September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011, we did not have any financial assets or liabilities classified as Level 3. We did not transfer any assets between Level 2 and 3 during fiscal 2011.

D. Debt

On December 16, 2010, we executed a new Credit Agreement (“Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association. This Credit Agreement replaced our previous credit facility and provides us with a line of credit of up to $5.0 million. The line of credit may be used to finance working capital requirements. In consideration for granting the line of credit, we paid a commitment fee of $12,500 and must pay an additional commitment fee of $12,500 on or before December 1, 2011. There are no amounts currently drawn under the line of credit.

Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, borrowings are subject to eligibility requirements including maintaining (i) net income after taxes of not less than $750,000 on a trailing four quarter basis as of the end of each calendar quarter beginning with the four quarter period ended December 31, 2010; and (ii) a ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth of not greater than 1.25 to 1.0 at any time. Any amounts outstanding under the line of credit will bear interest at a fixed or fluctuating interest rate as elected by NAI from time to time; provided, however, that if the outstanding principal amount is less than $100,000 such amount shall bear interest at the then applicable fluctuating rate of interest. If elected, the fluctuating rate per annum would be equal to 2.75% above the daily one month LIBOR rate as in effect from time to time. If a fixed rate is elected, it would equal a per annum rate of 2.50% above the LIBOR rate in effect on the first day of the applicable fixed rate term. Any amounts outstanding under the line of credit must be paid in full on or before November 1, 2012; provided, however, that we must maintain a zero balance on advances under the line of credit for a period of at least 30 consecutive days during each fiscal year. Amounts outstanding that are subject to a fluctuating interest rate may be prepaid at any time without penalty. Amounts outstanding that are subject to a fixed interest rate may be prepaid at any time in minimum amounts of $100,000, subject to a prepayment fee equal to the sum of the discounted monthly differences for each month from the month of prepayment through the month in which the then applicable fixed rate term matures.

Our obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by our accounts receivable and other rights to payment, general intangibles, inventory, equipment and fixtures. We also have a foreign exchange facility with Wells Fargo in effect until November 1, 2012, and with Bank of America, N.A. in effect until March 15, 2012.

On September 30, 2011, we were in compliance with all of the financial and other covenants required under the Credit Agreement.

On September 22, 2006, NAIE, our wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a credit facility to provide it with a credit line of up to CHF 1.3 million, or approximately $1.4 million, which was the initial maximum aggregate amount that could be outstanding at any one time under the credit facility. This maximum amount is reduced annually by CHF 160,000, or approximately $178,000. On February 19, 2007, NAIE amended its credit facility to provide that the maximum aggregate amount that may be outstanding under the facility cannot be reduced below CHF 500,000, or approximately $557,000. As of September 30, 2011, there was no outstanding balance under this credit facility.

Under its credit facility, NAIE may draw amounts either as current account loan credits to its current or future bank accounts or as fixed loans with a maximum term of 24 months. Current account loans will bear interest at the rate of 5% per annum. Fixed loans will bear interest at a rate determined by the parties based on current market conditions and must be repaid pursuant to a repayment schedule established by the parties at the time of the loan. If a fixed loan is repaid early at NAIE’s election or in connection with the termination of the credit facility, NAIE will be charged a pre-payment penalty equal to 0.1% of the principal amount of the fixed loan or CHF 1,000 (approximately $1,115), whichever is greater. The bank reserves the right to refuse individual requests for an advance under the credit facility, although its exercise of such right will not have the effect of terminating the credit facility as a whole.

We did not use our working capital line of credit nor did we have any long-term debt outstanding during the three months ended September 30, 2011. As of September 30, 2011, we had $5.7 million available under our credit facilities.

E. Defined Benefit Pension Plan

We sponsor a defined benefit pension plan that provides retirement benefits to employees based generally on years of service and compensation during the last five years before retirement. Effective June 20, 1999, we adopted an amendment to freeze benefit accruals to the participants. We contribute an amount not less than the minimum funding requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 nor more than the maximum tax-deductible amount.

The components included in the net periodic expense for the periods ended September 30 were as follows (in thousands):

G. Segment Information

As a result of our efforts to commercialize our patent and trademark estate and the increased level of income we have recently received from such efforts, beginning with the first quarter of fiscal 2012, our business consists of three segments for financial reporting purposes. The three segments are identified as (i) private label contract manufacturing, which primarily relates to private label contract manufacturing services for companies that market and distribute nutritional supplements and other health care products, (ii) patent and trademark licensing, which primarily includes royalty income from our license and supply agreements associated with the sale and use of beta-alanine under our CarnosSyn® trade name, and (iii) branded products, which relates to the marketing and distribution of our branded nutritional supplements and consists primarily of the products sold under our Pathway to Healing® product line.

We evaluate performance based on a number of factors. The primary performance measures for each segment are net sales and income or loss from operations before corporate allocations. Operating income or loss for each segment does not include corporate general and administrative expenses, interest expense and other miscellaneous income and expense items. Corporate general and administrative expenses include, but are not limited to: human resources, corporate legal, finance, information technology, and other corporate level related expenses, which are not allocated to any segment. The accounting policies of our segments are the same as those described in Note A above and in the consolidated financial statements included in our 2011 Annual Report other than the change in the number of segments.

Our operating results by business segment were as follows (in thousands):

(1) The European capital expenditure amount for the three months ended September 30, 2010 includes $20,000 of gross capital expenditures offset by a $56,000 Cantonal financial investment support grant.

H. Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was 37.1%. The rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 34% primarily due to the recognition of state taxes partially offset by the favorable impact of foreign earnings taxed at less than the U.S. statutory rate.

To determine our quarterly provision for income taxes, we use an estimated annual effective tax rate, which is based on expected annual income, statutory tax rates and tax planning opportunities available in the various jurisdictions to which we are subject. Certain significant or unusual items are separately recognized in the quarter in which they occur and can be a source of variability in the effective tax rate from quarter to quarter. We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, as an income tax expense.

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates, for each of the jurisdictions in which we operate, expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date.

Table of Contents

We are subject to taxation in the U.S., Switzerland and various state jurisdictions. Our tax years for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 and forward are subject to examination by U.S. and state tax authorities and our tax years for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 and forward are subject to examination by the Switzerland tax authorities.

We do not record U.S. income tax expense for NAIE’s retained earnings that are declared as indefinitely reinvested offshore, thus reducing our overall income tax expense. The amount of earnings designated as indefinitely reinvested in NAIE is based on the actual deployment of such earnings in NAIE’s assets and our expectations of the future cash needs of our U.S. and foreign entities. Income tax laws are also a factor in determining the amount of foreign earnings to be indefinitely reinvested offshore.

It is our policy to establish reserves based on management’s assessment of exposure for certain positions taken in previously filed tax returns that may become payable upon audit by tax authorities. The tax reserves are analyzed at least annually, generally in the fourth quarter of each year, and adjustments are made as events occur that we believe warrant adjustments to the reserve.

I. Treasury Stock

On June 2, 2011, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $2.0 million worth of our common stock. Under the repurchase plan, we may, from time to time, purchase shares of our common stock, depending upon market conditions, in open market or privately negotiated transactions. For the year ended June 30, 2011, we purchased 106,023 shares at a weighted average cost of $4.02 per share and a total cost of $426,000, including commissions and fees. During the three months ended September 30, 2011, we purchased an additional 4,540 shares at a weighted average cost of $4.05 per share and a total cost of $18,000, including commissions and fees.

J. Derivatives and Hedging

We are exposed to gains and losses resulting from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates relating to forecasted product sales denominated in foreign currencies and transactions of NAIE, our foreign subsidiary. As part of our overall strategy to manage the level of exposure to the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, we may use foreign exchange contracts in the form of forward contracts. There can be no guarantee any such contracts, to the extent we enter into such contracts, will be effective hedges against our foreign currency exchange risk.

As of September 30, 2011, we have forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges primarily to protect against the foreign exchange risks inherent in our forecasted sales of products at prices denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. These contracts are expected to be settled through July 2012. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, we record the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative in accumulated other comprehensive income (“OCI”) as a separate component of stockholders’ equity and subsequently reclassify these amounts into earnings in the period during which the hedged transaction is recognized in earnings.

For foreign currency contracts designated as cash flow hedges, hedge effectiveness is measured using the spot rate. Changes in the spot-forward differential are excluded from the test of hedge effectiveness and are recorded currently in earnings as interest expense. We measure effectiveness by comparing the cumulative change in the hedge contract with the cumulative change in the hedged item. During the three months ended September 30, 2011, we did not have any material losses or gains related to the ineffective portion of our hedging instruments. No hedging relationships were terminated as a result of ineffective hedging or forecasted transactions no longer probable of occurring for foreign currency forward contracts. We monitor the probability of forecasted transactions as part of the hedge effectiveness testing on a quarterly basis.

As of September 30, 2011, the notional amounts of our foreign exchange contracts designated as cash flow hedges were approximately $10.2 million (EUR 7.0 million). As of September 30, 2011, a net gain of approximately $667,000 related to derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges was recorded in OCI. It is expected that $667,000 will be reclassified into earnings in the next 12 months along with the earnings effects of the related forecasted transactions.

As of September 30, 2011, the fair value of our cash flow hedges was an asset of $715,000 and was classified in prepaids and other current assets. During the three months ended September 30, 2011, we recognized $722,000 of gains in OCI and reclassified $97,000 of gains from OCI to revenue. We did not have any hedging activity during the three months ended September 30, 2010.

K. Contingencies

From time to time, we become involved in various investigations, claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. These matters may relate to intellectual property, product liability, employment, tax, regulation, contract or other matters. The resolution of these matters as they arise will be subject to various uncertainties and, even if such claims are without merit, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources. While unfavorable outcomes are possible, based on available information, we generally do not believe the resolution of these matters will result in a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated financial condition, or results of operations. However, a settlement payment or unfavorable outcome could adversely impact our results of operations. Our evaluation of the likely impact of these actions could change in the future and we could have unfavorable outcomes that we do not expect.

As of November 14, 2011, except as described below, neither NAI nor its subsidiaries were a party to any material pending legal proceeding nor was any of their property the subject of any material pending legal proceeding. On November 11, 2009, NAI filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, accusing Vital Pharmaceutical, Inc. (VPX) and DNP International Co., Inc. (DNP) of infringing certain patents owned by NAI relating to the ingredient known as beta-alanine marketed and sold under the CarnoSyn® trade name. NAI asserted claims for unfair competition and false marking, among others, against one or both of the companies named in this lawsuit and sought an injunction against continued infringement and violations and damages for past infringement and violations including, among others, punitive damages and attorneys’ fees. During the three months ended September 30 2011, NAI incurred litigation expenses relating to this lawsuit of approximately $317,000. During the three months ended September 30 2010, NAI incurred litigation expenses relating to this lawsuit of approximately $85,000.

On August 8, 2011, a settlement agreement was reached between NAI and VPX. As part of the settlement, NAI granted VPX a limited and restricted covenant not to sue on certain claims of NAI’s asserted beta-alanine patents and VPX agreed to dismiss its claims of invalidity and to cease certain business activities.

On August 3, 2011, NAI amended its complaint against DNP to reassert its federal claims for unfair competition and false advertising, as well as state claims for deceptive trade practices. Unless otherwise settled, NAI expects litigation expenses related to its continuing lawsuit against DNP to continue during fiscal 2012. Although we believe this litigation is supported by valid claims, there is no assurance NAI will prevail in this litigation or in similar proceedings it may initiate or that litigation expenses will be as anticipated.

On July 31, 2009, Real Health Laboratories, Inc. (RHL), a wholly owned subsidiary now known as Disposition Company, Inc. sold substantially all of its remaining assets related to its wholesale and direct-to-consumer business to PharmaCare US Inc. and PharmaCare Laboratories Pty Ltd. for a cash purchase price of $500,000. NAI provided a guarantee of RHL’s indemnity obligations under the asset purchase agreement, which potential liability is capped at the amount of the purchase price paid by the buyers to RHL. The guaranty continues for a minimum period of three years from the date of the Asset Purchase Agreement.

L. Subsequent Events

On October 27, 2011, we purchased 20 forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges to protect against the foreign currency exchange risk inherent in a portion of our forecasted sales transactions denominated in Euros. The 20 contracts expire monthly beginning December 2011 and ending July 2013. The forward contracts had a notional amount of $9.3 million (EUR 6.6 million) and a weighted average forward rate of $1.42.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis is intended to help you understand our financial condition and results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2011. You should read the following discussion and analysis together with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included under Item 1 in this report, as well as the risk factors and other information included in our 2011 Annual Report and other reports and documents we file with the SEC. Our future financial condition and results of operations will vary from our historical financial condition and results of operations described below based on a variety of factors.

Executive Overview

The following overview does not address all of the matters covered in the other sections of this Item 2 or other items in this report or contain all of the information that may be important to our stockholders or the investing public. This overview should be read in conjunction with the other sections of this Item 2 and this report.

Our primary business activity is providing private label contract manufacturing services to companies that market and distribute vitamins, minerals, herbs and other nutritional supplements, as well as other health care products, to consumers both within and outside the United States. Historically, our revenue has been largely dependent on sales to one or two private label contract manufacturing customers and subject to variations in the timing of such customers’ orders, which in turn is impacted by such customers’ internal marketing programs, supply chain management, entry into new markets, new product introductions, the demand for such customers’ products, and general industry and economic conditions. We also generate royalty and licensing revenue from our patent estate pursuant to license and supply agreements with third parties for the distribution and use of the ingredient known as beta-alanine and sold under the CarnoSyn® trade name. Royalty and licensing income associated with the distribution and use of CarnoSyn® has grown considerably in recent periods due to the increased popularity of this ingredient as a sports nutrition supplement and expanded distribution channels and efforts.

A cornerstone of our business strategy is to achieve long-term growth and profitability and to diversify our sales base. We have sought and expect to continue to seek to diversify our sales by developing relationships with additional, quality-oriented, private label contract manufacturing customers, developing and growing our own line of branded products and commercializing our patent estate through contract manufacturing, royalty and license agreements. During fiscal 2011, we expanded our beta-alanine licensing programs through the execution of a supply agreement with Nestle Nutrition and a license and supply agreement with Abbott Laboratories. We also incurred litigation expenses of approximately $1.4 million during fiscal 2011 and $317,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2011, and expect litigation expenses during the remainder of fiscal 2012 to be approximately $100,000 to $150,000 per quarter, in connection with our efforts to protect our proprietary rights and patent estate. These efforts are described in more detail under Item 1 of Part II of this report.

During the first three months of fiscal 2012, our net sales were 37.3% higher than in the first three months of fiscal 2011. Private label contract manufacturing sales increased 32.4% due primarily to higher volumes of existing products in existing markets and sales to a new customer. This increase was partially offset by lower product sales to other existing customers. During the three months ended September 30, 2011, CaronSyn® beta-alanine royalty and licensing revenue totaled $1.3 million, representing a 322% increase over the comparable prior year period. Our ability to maintain or further increase our beta-alanine royalty and licensing revenue will depend in large part on the availability of the raw material beta-alanine when and in the amounts needed, the continued compliance by third parties with our patent and trademark rights, and the ability to expand distribution of beta-alanine to new and existing customers.

Our revenue concentration risk for our two largest customers decreased to 69% as a percentage of our total sales for the first three months of fiscal 2012 compared to 71% in the first three months of fiscal 2011. We expect our contract manufacturing revenue concentration percentage for our two largest customers to decrease marginally during the remainder of fiscal 2012 with the anticipated addition of new customer sales and increased sales to existing customers.

Net sales from our branded products declined 18.5% in the first three months of fiscal 2012 as compared to the first three months of fiscal 2011 due to the continued softening of sales of our Pathway to Healing® product line. Our branded products segment consists primarily of the products sold under our Pathway to Healing® product line. Beginning in April 2007, Dr. Cherry ceased airing his weekly television program, which had served as the primary customer acquisition vehicle in marketing the Pathway to Healing® product line. While sales of the product line have been primarily generated by continuity orders from long-standing repeat customers, the loss of the television program has had a negative impact on our ability to acquire new customers and retain existing customers. During fiscal 2011, we began the process of re-launching a portion of our Pathway to Healing® product line and are continuing to evaluate alternatives for this product line.

Table of Contents

During the remainder of fiscal 2012, we plan to continue to focus on:

 

   

Leveraging our state of the art, certified facilities to increase the value of the goods and services we provide to our highly valued private label contract manufacturing customers, and assist us in developing relationships with additional quality oriented customers;

 

   

Expanding the commercialization of our beta-alanine patent estate through contract manufacturing, royalty and license agreements and protecting our proprietary rights;

 

   

Implementing focused initiatives to grow our Pathway to Healing® product line; and

 

   

Improving operational efficiencies and managing costs and business risks to improve profitability.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our financial statements requires that we make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our financial statements and their accompanying notes. We have identified certain policies that we believe are important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations. These policies require the application of significant judgment by our management. We base our estimates on our historical experience, industry standards, and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. An adverse effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, and results of operations could occur if circumstances change that alter the various assumptions or conditions used in such estimates or assumptions.

Our critical accounting policies are discussed under Item 7 of our 2011 Annual Report. There have been no significant changes to these policies during the three months ended September 30, 2011.

16


Table of Contents
2 The increase in net sales to NSA International, Inc. included an increase in international sales of 49.8% and an increase in domestic sales of 2.4%. These sales increases were due to higher consumer demand, which was slightly offset by lower average sales prices.

 

3 The increase in net sales to other customers was primarily due to sales of new products for new and existing customers and increased sales of existing products for existing customers.

Net sales from our patent and trademark licensing segment increased 322.2% during the first quarter of fiscal 2012 primarily due to increased market demand for CarnoSyn® beta-alanine.

Net sales from our branded products segment decreased 18.5% during the first quarter of fiscal 2012 due primarily to the continued softening of the Pathway to Healing® product line following the cessation of Dr. Cherry’s weekly television program in April 2007, which had served as the primary acquisition vehicle in marketing the Pathway to Healing® product line.

Gross profit margin increased 5.5 percentage points primarily due to the following:

 

Contract manufacturing:

  

Shift in sales mix and material cost

     (3.1 )% 

Changes in overhead expenses

     3.7   

Changes in direct and indirect labor

     1.7   

Patent and trademark licensing

     4.0

Private label contract manufacturing gross profit margin increased 3.2 percentage points to 20.7% in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to 17.5% in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of sales was primarily due to a decrease in labor and overhead expenses as a percentage of revenue, driven by an increase in product sales.

Patent and trademark licensing gross profit margin increased 0.9 percentage points to 80.4% in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to 79.5% in the first quarter of fiscal 2011.

Branded products gross profit margin decreased 3.3 percentage points to 43.0% in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 from 46.3% in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 due primarily to an increase in material and shipping costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $596,000, or 34.3% during fiscal 2012. This increase was attributed to a $310,000 increase in operating costs from our domestic contract manufacturing operation primarily related to increased employee compensation. Selling, general and administrative expenses for our patent and trademark licensing business increased $291,000 primarily due to increased patent litigation and prosecution expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses for our branded products business were consistent with the comparable prior year period.

Other income, net increased $35,000 during the first quarter of fiscal 2012 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year primarily due to favorable foreign currency exchange activity associated with the strengthening of the Swiss Franc.

Our income tax expense increased $831,000 during the first quarter of fiscal 2012 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increase was primarily due to the recognition of federal and state income tax expense on domestic fiscal 2012 earnings compared to zero domestic income tax recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. No income tax expense was recorded on domestic earnings during the first quarter of fiscal 2011 due to federal and state domestic net operating loss carry forwards. As a result, tax expense for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 only included expense from our foreign subsidiary at a statutory tax rate of 20%. The first quarter of fiscal 2012 includes both domestic federal and state income tax and income tax from our foreign subsidiary at a statutory tax rate of 20%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity and capital resources are cash flows provided by operating activities and the availability of borrowings under our credit facility. Net cash used by operating activities was $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $63,000 in the comparable quarter last year.

At September 30, 2011, changes in accounts receivable, consisting primarily of amounts due from our private label contract manufacturing customers and our patent and trademark licensing activities, used $3.4 million in cash during the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $479,000 of cash used in the comparable prior year quarter. The increase in cash used by accounts receivable during the quarter ended September 30, 2011 was the result of higher sales and royalty and licensing revenue as compared to the comparable prior year quarter. Days sales outstanding was 25 days during the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to 35 days in the comparable quarter last year.

Table of Contents

At September 30, 2011, changes in inventory used $2.6 million in cash during the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $1.6 million of cash used in the comparable prior year quarter. The increase in cash used by inventory during the quarter ended September 30, 2011 was primarily related to timing of inventory shipments and receipts along with increased sales demand.

During the three months ended September 30, 2011, NAIE’s operations provided $1.1 million of operating cash flow primarily due to timing of inventory receipts and sales. As of September 30, 2011, NAIE’s undistributed retained earnings were considered indefinitely reinvested.

Cash used in investing activities in the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $420,000 compared to $277,000 in the comparable quarter last year. Capital expenditures were $420,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $317,000 in the comparable quarter last year. Capital expenditures for both years were primarily for manufacturing equipment in our Vista, California and Manno, Switzerland facilities.

We did not have any consolidated debt as of either September 30, 2011 or June 30, 2011.

On December 16, 2010, we executed a new Credit Agreement (“Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association. This Credit Agreement replaced our previous credit facility and provides us with a line of credit of up to $5.0 million. The line of credit may be used to finance working capital requirements. In consideration for granting the line of credit, we paid a commitment fee of $12,500 and must pay an additional commitment fee of $12,500 on or before December 1, 2011. There are no amounts currently drawn under the line of credit.

Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, borrowings are subject to eligibility requirements including maintaining (i) net income after taxes of not less than $750,000 on a trailing four quarter basis as of the end of each calendar quarter beginning with the four quarter period ended December 31, 2010; and (ii) a ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth of not greater than 1.25 to 1.0 at any time. Any amounts outstanding under the line of credit will bear interest at a fixed or fluctuating interest rate as elected by NAI from time to time; provided, however, that if the outstanding principal amount is less than $100,000 such amount shall bear interest at the then applicable fluctuating rate of interest. If elected, the fluctuating rate per annum would be equal to 2.75% above the daily one month LIBOR rate as in effect from time to time. If a fixed rate is elected, it would equal a per annum rate of 2.50% above the LIBOR rate in effect on the first day of the applicable fixed rate term. Any amounts outstanding under the line of credit must be paid in full on or before November 1, 2012; provided, however, that we must maintain a zero balance on advances under the line of credit for a period of at least 30 consecutive days during each fiscal year. Amounts outstanding that are subject to a fluctuating interest rate may be prepaid at any time without penalty. Amounts outstanding that are subject to a fixed interest rate may be prepaid at any time in minimum amounts of $100,000, subject to a prepayment fee equal to the sum of the discounted monthly differences for each month from the month of prepayment through the month in which the then applicable fixed rate term matures.

Our obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by our accounts receivable and other rights to payment, general intangibles, inventory, equipment and fixtures. We also have a foreign exchange facility with Wells Fargo in effect until November 1, 2012, and with Bank of America, N.A. in effect until March 15, 2012.

On September 30, 2011, we were in compliance with all of the financial and other covenants required under the Credit Agreement.

On September 22, 2006, NAIE, our wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a credit facility to provide it with a credit line of up to CHF 1.3 million, or approximately $1.4 million, which was the initial maximum aggregate amount that could be outstanding at any one time under the credit facility. This maximum amount is reduced annually by CHF 160,000, or approximately $178,000. On February 19, 2007, NAIE amended its credit facility to provide that the maximum aggregate amount that may be outstanding under the facility cannot be reduced below CHF 500,000, or approximately $557,000. As of September 30, 2011, there was no outstanding balance under this credit facility.

Under its credit facility, NAIE may draw amounts either as current account loan credits to its current or future bank accounts or as fixed loans with a maximum term of 24 months. Current account loans will bear interest at the rate of 5% per annum. Fixed loans will bear interest at a rate determined by the parties based on current market conditions and must be repaid pursuant to a repayment schedule established by the parties at the time of the loan. If a fixed loan is repaid early at NAIE’s election or in connection with the termination of the credit facility, NAIE will be charged a pre-payment penalty equal to 0.1% of the principal amount of the fixed loan or CHF 1,000 (approximately $1,115), whichever is greater. The bank reserves the right to refuse individual requests for an advance under the credit facility, although its exercise of such right will not have the effect of terminating the credit facility as a whole.

As of September 30, 2011, we had $13.6 million in cash and cash equivalents and $5.7 million available under our credit facilities. We believe our available cash, cash equivalents and potential cash flows from operations will be sufficient to fund our current working capital needs and capital expenditures through at least the next 12 months.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2011, we did not have any off-balance sheet debt nor did we have any transactions, arrangements, obligations (including contingent obligations) or other relationships with any unconsolidated entities or other persons that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, capital resources, or significant components of revenue or expenses material to investors.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent accounting pronouncements are discussed in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included under Item 1of this report. Other than those pronouncements, we are not aware of any other pronouncements that materially affect our financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain certain disclosure controls and procedures as defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. They are designed to help ensure that material information is: (1) gathered and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and financial officers, in a manner that allows for timely decisions regarding required disclosures; and (2) recorded, processed, summarized, reported and filed with the SEC as required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and within the time periods specified by the SEC.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2011. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective for their intended purpose described above as of September 30, 2011.

There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the quarterly period ended September 30, 2011 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, we become involved in various investigations, claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. These matters may relate to intellectual property, product liability, employment, tax, regulation, contract or other matters. The resolution of these matters as they arise will be subject to various uncertainties and, even if such claims are without merit, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources. While unfavorable outcomes are possible, based on available information, we generally do not believe the resolution of these matters will result in a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated financial condition, or results of operations. However, a settlement payment or unfavorable outcome could adversely impact our results of operations. Our evaluation of the likely impact of these actions could change in the future and we could have unfavorable outcomes that we do not expect.

As of November 14, 2011, except as described below, neither NAI nor its subsidiaries were a party to any material pending legal proceeding nor was any of their property the subject of any material pending legal proceeding. On November 11, 2009, NAI filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, accusing Vital Pharmaceutical, Inc. (VPX) and DNP International Co., Inc. (DNP) of infringing certain patents owned by NAI relating to the ingredient known as beta-alanine marketed and sold under the CarnoSyn® trade name. NAI asserted claims for unfair competition and false marking, among others, against one or both of the companies named in this lawsuit and sought an injunction against continued infringement and violations and damages for past infringement and violations including, among others, punitive damages and attorneys’ fees. During the three months ended September 30 2011, NAI incurred litigation expenses relating to this lawsuit of approximately $317,000. During the three months ended September 30 2010, NAI incurred litigation expenses relating to this lawsuit of approximately $85,000.

On August 8, 2011, a settlement agreement was reached between NAI and VPX. As part of the settlement, NAI granted VPX a limited and restricted covenant not to sue on certain claims of NAI’s asserted beta-alanine patents and VPX agreed to dismiss its claims of invalidity and to cease certain business activities.

On August 3, 2011, NAI amended its complaint against DNP to reassert its federal claims for unfair competition and false advertising, as well as state claims for deceptive trade practices. Unless otherwise settled, NAI expects litigation expenses related to its continuing lawsuit against DNP to continue during fiscal 2012. Although we believe this litigation is supported by valid claims, there is no assurance NAI will prevail in this litigation or in similar proceedings it may initiate or that litigation expenses will be as anticipated.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the risks described under Item 1A of our 2011 Annual Report, as well as the other information in our 2011 Annual Report, this report and other reports and documents we file with the SEC, when evaluating our business and future prospects. If any of the identified risks actually occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be seriously harmed. In that event, the market price of our common stock could decline and you could lose all or a portion of the value of your investment in our common stock.
