Note
1-- Accounting
Policies
|
||
Basis
of Presentation
|
The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
have
been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and reflect
all
adjustments which management believes necessary (which primarily include
normal
recurring accruals) to present fairly the financial position, results of
operations and cash flows. These statements, however, do not include all
information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial
position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States. Interim results may
not
necessarily be indicative of results that may be expected for any other
interim
period or for the year as a whole. These financial statements should be
read in
conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes
included in the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2006,
filed March 15, 2007 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The accounting
policies used in preparing these financial statements are the same as those
applied in the prior year, except that the Company adopted a new financial
accounting standard at the beginning of its 2007 fiscal year concerning
its
income tax accounting which is discussed in Note 5. This new standard was
adopted prospectively and comparative periods were not restated.
Reclassification
-- Consolidated Statements of Cash
Flows
|
Investment
grade, variable rate debt obligations issued by various state and municipal
governments comprise a portion of the Company’s short-term investments. As a
result of the regularly resetting interest rates, no cumulative gross
unrealized
or realized holding gains or losses exist from these investments. In
accordance
with management’s objective for these available-for-sale investments, each reset
of these securities' interest rates is not considered a separate or individual
sale and subsequent repurchase. To conform to the 2007 presentation of
the
consolidated statements of cash flows, amounts previously presented in
the
corresponding 2006 period as individual purchase and sales transactions
have
been reclassified and presented on a net basis. This reclassification
had no
impact to total net cash provided by (used in) investing activities within
the
consolidated statements of cash flows.
Note
2-- Recent
Accounting Standards Pending
Adoption
|
In
February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 159, "The Fair Value
Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, Including an Amendment
of
FASB Statement No. 115," which will become effective in 2008. SFAS No.
159
permits entities to measure eligible financial assets, financial liabilities,
and firm commitments at fair value, on an instrument-by-instrument basis,
that
are otherwise not permitted to be accounted for at fair value under other
generally accepted accounting principles. The fair value measurement election
is
irrevocable and subsequent changes in fair value must be recorded in earnings.
The Company will adopt this Statement as of January 1, 2008 and is currently
evaluating if it will elect the fair value option for any of its eligible
financial instruments and other items.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements"
which
defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and
expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement clarifies
how
to measure fair value as permitted under other accounting pronouncments
but does
not require any new fair value measurements. The Company will be required
to
adopt SFAS No. 157 as of January 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating
the impact of SFAS No. 157 and has not yet determined the impact on its
financial statements.
Note
3-- Comprehensive
Income
|
Total
comprehensive income was $894,016 and $3,520,302 for the three and six
months
ended June 30, 2007, respectively. For the three and six months ended June
30,
2006, comprehensive income was $1,550,429 and $3,998,470, respectively.
The
Company's only component of other comprehensive income is the foreign currency
translation adjustment.

Note
4-- Basic
and Diluted Earnings per Share
|
Basic
earnings per common share are computed using the weighted average number
of
common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share
are
computed using the weighted average number of common shares and potential
dilutive common shares that were outstanding during the period. Potential
dilutive common shares consist of outstanding stock options, outstanding
stock
warrants, and convertible preferred stock.
The
following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted
earnings
per share:

Note
5-- Income
Taxes
|
The
Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN No. 48”) on January 1, 2007. As a result of
the implementation of FIN No. 48, the Company recognized no material adjustment
in its estimated liability for unrecognized income tax benefits. At June
30,
2007, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits, including estimated interest
and penalties thereon, totaling $140,000. This amount is included in “Other
non-current liabilities” in the consolidated balance sheet. There has been no
material change in this amount during the three months and six months ended
June
30, 2007. In 2007, the Company is continuing its practice to recognize
interest
and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax
expense.
The
Company, including its domestic and foreign subsidiaries, is subject to
U.S
federal income tax as well as income tax of multiple state and foreign
jurisdictions. The Company has concluded all U.S. federal income tax matters
for
years through 2002 and substantially concluded years through 2005 with
its
primary state jurisdiction.

FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS
This
quarterly report includes both historical and “forward-looking statements”
within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current
expectations and projections about future results. Words such as “may,”
“should,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,”
“estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” or similar words are intended to
identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements
contain these words. Although we believe that our opinions and expectations
reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee
future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements, and our actual
results may differ substantially from the views and expectations set forth
in
this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. We disclaim any intent or obligation to
update any forward-looking statements after the date of this quarterly report
to
conform such statements to actual results or to changes in our opinions or
expectations. These forward-looking statements are affected by risks,
uncertainties and assumptions that we make, including, among other things,
the
factors that are described in “Item No. 1A - Risk Factors” in our 2006 Annual
Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March
15, 2007, as the same may be updated or amended in our quarterly reports on
Form
10-Q.
Item
No. 2 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
The
following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of
operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and
related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The
following discussion and analysis discusses the financial condition and results
of our operations on a consolidated basis, unless otherwise indicated.
Overview
We
are a
developer, manufacturer and marketer of a proprietary line of nutritional
supplements addressing basic nutrition, specific wellness needs, weight
management and sports nutrition. We also offer a line of skin care products.
We
sell our products through an international network marketing system using
independent distributors. Sales in the United States represented approximately
90.1% of worldwide net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 90.8%
of
worldwide net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Our international
operations currently generate sales through distributor networks in Australia,
Canada, Germany, Ireland, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, the Philippines,
Singapore and the United Kingdom. We also operate on a limited basis in
Austria and the Netherlands from our German office.
We
derive
our revenues principally through product sales made by our global independent
distributor base, which, as of June 30, 2007, consisted of approximately 69,470
distributors. Our sales can be affected by several factors, including our
ability to attract new distributors and retain our existing distributor base,
our ability to properly train and motivate our distributor base and our ability
to develop new products and successfully maintain our current product line.
All
of
our sales to distributors outside the United States are made in the
respective local currency; therefore, our earnings and cash flows are subject
to
fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency rates as compared to the
U.S. dollar. As a result, exchange rate fluctuations may have an effect on
sales and gross margins. Accounting practices require that our results from
operations be converted to U.S. dollars for reporting purposes.
Consequently, our reported earnings may be significantly affected by
fluctuations in currency exchange rates, generally increasing with a weaker
U.S. dollar and decreasing with a strengthening U.S. dollar. Products
manufactured by us for sale to our foreign subsidiaries are transacted in
U.S. dollars. From time to time, we enter into foreign exchange forward
contracts to mitigate our foreign currency exchange risk.
Components
of Net Sales and Expense
Net
sales
are comprised of two components. Product sales represent the actual product
purchase price typically paid by our distributors, after giving effect to
distributor allowances, which range from 20% to 40% of suggested retail prices.
Handling and freight income represents the amounts billed to distributors for
shipping costs. We record net sales and the related commission expense when
the
merchandise is shipped.
7
Our
primary expenses include cost of products sold, distributor royalties and
commissions and selling, general and administrative expenses.
Cost
of
products sold primarily consists of expenses related to raw materials, labor,
quality control and overhead directly associated with production of our products
and sales materials, as well as shipping costs relating to the shipment of
products to distributors, and duties and taxes associated with product exports.
Cost of products sold is impacted by the cost of the ingredients used in our
products and the cost of shipping the distributors’ orders, along with our
efficiency in managing the production of our products.
Distributor
royalties and commissions are monthly payments made to Master Affiliates and
above, based on products sold by Master Affiliates and above sponsored by such
Master Affiliates or higher-level distributors. “Master Affiliates and above”
are active distributors that have attained the highest level of discount on
purchases of our products and are eligible for royalties from sales volume
generated by Master Affiliates and above that they sponsor. Based on our
distributor agreements, these expenses typically approximate 23% of sales at
suggested retail. Also, we include other sales leadership bonuses, such as
Ambassador bonuses, in this line item. We generally expect total distributor
royalties and commissions to approximate 40% of our net sales. Distributor
royalties and commissions are directly related to the level of our sales and,
absent any changes in our distributor compensation plan, should continue at
comparable levels as a percentage of net sales as in recent periods.
Selling,
general and administrative expenses include the compensation and benefits paid
to our employees, all other selling expenses, marketing, promotional expenses,
travel and other corporate administrative expenses. These other corporate
administrative expenses include professional fees, depreciation and
amortization, occupancy costs, communication costs and other similar operating
expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses can be affected by a
number of factors, including staffing levels and the cost of providing
competitive salaries and benefits; the amount we decide to invest in distributor
training and motivational initiatives; the cost of regulatory compliance, such
as the costs incurred to comply with the various provisions of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002; and other administrative costs.

The
following table sets forth, as of June 30, 2007 and 2006, the number of our
active distributors and Master Affiliates and above. The total number of active
distributors includes Master Affiliates and above. We define an active
distributor as one that enrolls as a distributor or renews his or her
distributorship during the prior twelve months. Master Affiliates and above
are
distributors that have attained the highest level of discount and are eligible
for royalties generated by Master Affiliates and above in their downline
organization. Growth in the number of active distributors and Master Affiliates
and above is a key factor in continuing the growth of our business.

In
the
United States, net sales were down 7.0% in the second quarter of 2007 compared
to the same period in 2006. The sales decline was the result of fewer
distributors qualifying for the level of Master Affiliate during the second
quarter of 2007, compared to the same period in 2006. In the second quarter
of
2007, approximately 1,230 qualified as new Master Affiliates, compared to
approximately 1,900 in the prior year quarter, a decline of 35%. As a result,
the average order size declined during the second quarter of 2007 compared
to
the prior year period and historical norms. In the second quarter of 2007,
we
processed approximately 84,260 orders for products at an average order of $360
at suggested retail. In the same period of 2006, we processed approximately
81,190 product orders at an average order of $409 at suggested retail. The
average order size for all of 2006 was $421 at suggested retail. Over the past
year, we have emphasized the importance of bringing in new distributors at
all
levels, not just directly into the Master Affiliate level. We intend to continue
our distributor growth strategy of bringing in new distributors at all levels.
However, we will continue to focus on efforts to teach our newest distributors
to build their business to the Master Affiliate level through training and
other
programs.
In
the
second quarter of 2007, new distributor enrollments in the United States were
approximately 5,348 compared to 5,043 in the prior year quarter, an increase
of
6.0%. Distributor retention was 67.2% for the first six months of 2007 compared
to a rate of 62.4% for all of 2006. The net number of active Distributors in
the
United States as of June 30, 2007 increased by 8.9% to 56,930, compared to
the
number of active Distributors as of June 30, 2006. However, the net number
of
Master Affiliates and above as of June 30, 2007 decreased by 6.8%, as compared
to the net number of Master Affiliates and above as of June 30, 2006. This
is
consistent with reduced number of distributors qualifying for the level of
Master Affiliate, as discussed above.
In
February 2007, we launched our new weight control product line, Slimplicity™.
Slimplicity replaces the Ultrim-Plus meal replacement product line. In the
second quarter of 2007, sales of the Slimplicity product line represented
approximately 10% of net sales in the United States. In comparison, sales of
the
previous weight control product line historically represented approximately
3 to
4% of net sales in the United States annually.
During
the three months ended June 30, 2007, net sales in our international operations
improved in aggregate by 8.4% to $3.02 million compared to
$2.79 million for the three months ended June 30 2006. For the six-month
period ended June 30, 2007, international net sales increased by 11.5% to $6.08
million compared to $5.45 million in the same period in 2006. Foreign currency
fluctuation had an impact on the foreign sales results, as the U.S. dollar
weakened against all of the other currencies of the countries we conduct
business in, except Mexico, when compared to the rates over the first six months
of 2006. When net sales are converted using the 2006 exchange rate for both
2006
and 2007, international net sales improved 4.9% for the first six months of
2007
compared to the first six months of the prior year. Sales results were strong
in
our Australia/New Zealand, Mexico and Philippine markets, with sales increases
in the second quarter of 2007 of 25.3%, 25.2% and 30.5%, respectively, compared
to the same period in 2006.
10
Net
sales
in Australia/New Zealand increased by 25.3% in the second quarter of 2007
compared to the same period in 2006 as we continue our investment in sales
development in that region by supporting leading U.S. distributors as part
of a
sustained plan to develop more activity in this market. In addition, we
introduced our Reliv NOW for Kids products for sale in this region in late
June
2007.
Net
sales
in Mexico increased by 25.2% in the second quarter of 2007 compared to the
second quarter of 2006. In August 2006, we appointed a new national sales
manager for our Reliv Mexico operations. Our sales director for the US/Hispanic
market also oversees sales in our Mexico market.
Net
sales
in the Philippines increased by 30.5% in the second quarter of 2007 compared
to
the prior year quarter. We used targeted advertising and local promotions to
help increase sales in this market.
Cost
of Products Sold. Cost
of
products sold as a percentage of net sales was 16.7% and 17.1% for the three-
and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007, respectively, compared to 17.0%
and
16.6% for the same periods in 2006. Gross margins improved slightly in the
second quarter of 2007 compared to the same period of 2006 due to improved
operating efficiencies. However, these improvements were partially offset by
raw
material price increases and higher outbound freight costs. On a six-month
basis, these factors coupled with a slightly lower margin due to the change
in
the sales mix with the 2007 introduction of the Slimplicity product line
contributed to the reduction in the gross margin.
Distributor
Royalties and Commissions. Distributor
royalties and commissions as a percentage of net sales were 40.3% and 40.0%
for
the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007, respectively, compared
to
40.1% and 40.3% for the same periods in 2006. Due to the structure of our
distributor compensation plan, we do not expect to experience significant
fluctuations in distributor royalties and commissions as a percentage of net
sales.
Selling,
General and Administrative Expenses. For
the
three and six months ended June 30, 2007, selling, general and administrative,
or SGA, expenses increased by $715,000 and $2.3 million, respectively, compared
to the same periods in 2006. SGA expenses as a percentage of net sales were
38.8% and 34.6% for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007,
respectively, compared to 34.0% and 32.1% for the same periods of 2006.
Sales
and
marketing expenses represented approximately $1.6 million of the increase in
the
first six months of 2007. The primary components of the increase were increased
promotional bonuses, such as the “Mega Bonus”, and promotional trip expenses
related to sales volume. At our international distributor conference in St.
Louis in late July 2006, we announced a special bonus program, called “Mega
Bonus.” Under the new “Mega Bonus” program, we will award more than $700,000 in
bonuses at our international conference in August 2007. The bonuses will be
awarded to the top 50 distributors in group sales volume between August 1,
2006
and July 31, 2007, with the first-place winner receiving $100,000. The
promotional trip expenses relate to an incentive trip to Germany earned by
our
top 50 distributorships when we reached $15 million in worldwide retail sales
in
two consecutive months during the first quarter of 2007. Another significant
item in sales and marketing expenses is costs incurred for our regional
leadership conferences which increased by $218,000 in the first six months
of
2007, compared to the same period in 2006.
Distribution
and warehouse expenses increased by $270,000 due to higher wages, contract
labor
expenses, and shipping supply expenses. General and administrative expenses
increased by approximately $418,000, primarily in salaries and benefits,
professional/consulting fees, and corporate travel expenses. These increases
were partially offset by lower business insurance expenses.
Interest
Income/Expense. Interest
income increased to $376,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared
to
$282,000 for the same period in 2006. Interest expense decreased to $1,000
for
the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $45,000 for the same period
in
2006. The decrease is the result of having no long-term debt outstanding during
the six-month period ended June 30, 2007, compared to the same period in 2006.
In April 2006, we completed a public offering of our common stock, which yielded
$11.9 million in net proceeds to us. A portion of the proceeds was used to
pay
off the remaining balance of $2.2 million on a note we entered into in March
2005 to purchase the shares of our common stock owned by a former officer and
director and his wife. The increase in interest income is the result of the
earnings on the remaining proceeds from the public offering and higher interest
rates compared to the prior year.
11
Income
Taxes. We
recorded income tax expense of $2.2 million for the first six months of
2007, an effective rate of 38.9%. In the same period in 2006, we recorded income
tax expense of $2.8 million, which represented an effective rate of 40.5%.
The decreased effective rate is the result of the benefit of tax-exempt interest
income, coupled with an increase in the Domestic Manufacturing Deduction in
2007.
Net
Income. Our
net
income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 was $823,000
($0.05 per share basic and diluted) and $3.4 million ($0.21 per share basic
and diluted), respectively, compared to $1.6 million ($0.10 per share
basic and $0.09 per share diluted) and $4.1 million ($0.25 per share basic
and
diluted) for the same periods in 2006. Profitability decreased in the second
quarter of 2007 as net sales decreased in the United States, coupled with the
higher SGA expenses as discussed above.
Financial
Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
During
the first six months of 2007, we generated $2.9 million of net cash from
operating activities, $313,000 was provided by investing activities, and we
used
$7.2 million in financing activities. This compares to $5.0 million of
net cash provided by operating activities, $6.3 million used in investing
activities, and $8.0 million generated by financing activities in the same
period of 2006. Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $3.9 million to
$5.5 million as of June 30, 2007 compared to December 31, 2006.
Significant
changes in working capital items consisted of an increase in inventories of
$904,000, an increase in prepaid expenses/other current assets of $201,000,
an
increase in other assets of $382,000, an increase in accounts payable and
accrued expenses of $1.5 million, and an increase in refundable income taxes
of
$947,000 in the first six months of 2007. The increase in inventory is a result
of the inventory levels being maintained of the new Slimplicity product line
and
lower than expected sales levels. The increase in prepaid expenses/other current
assets represent the annual premium payments on most of the corporate insurance
policies, which renew in March. The increase in other assets is primarily due
to
premiums paid in the first quarter of 2007 on corporate life insurance policies.
The increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses is due to accruals for
distributor incentive programs, and other accrued expenses related to our
upcoming international distributor conference in August 2007. The increase
in
refundable income taxes is the result of our decrease in taxable income, coupled
with the timing of estimated tax payments.
Investing
activities during the first six months of 2007 consist of $621,000 for capital
expenditures, along with net proceeds of $929,000 in short-term
investments.
Financing
activities in the first six months of 2007 included $6.4 million in treasury
stock purchases, common stock dividends paid of $807,000, and $50,000 in
proceeds from stock options and warrants exercised.
Stockholders’
equity decreased to $24.1 million at June 30, 2007 compared with
$27.7 million at December 31, 2006. The decrease is due to the
treasury stock purchases of $6.4 million and common stock dividends paid, offset
by our net income during the first six months of 2007 of $3.4 million. Our
working capital balance was $12.3 million at June 30, 2007 compared to
$16.2 million at December 31, 2006. The current ratio at June 30, 2007
was 2.2 compared to 2.9 at December 31, 2006.
We
also
have a $5 million secured revolving credit facility with our primary lender
that we entered into in June 2006. This facility replaces the previous agreement
which had a $15 million limit, expires in April 2008, and any advances accrue
interest at a variable interest rate based on LIBOR. The credit facility is
secured by all of our assets. The facility includes covenants to maintain total
stockholders’ equity of not less than $10.5 million, and that the ratio of
borrowings under the facility to EBITDA shall not exceed 3.5 to 1.0. At
June 30, 2007, we had not utilized any of the revolving line of credit facility
and were in compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity covenant.
Management
believes that our internally generated funds and the borrowing capacity under
the revolving line of credit facility will be sufficient to meet working capital
requirements for the remainder of 2007.

Critical
Accounting Policies
A
summary
of our critical accounting policies and estimates is presented on pages 38
and
39 of our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on March 15, 2007.
Item
No. 3 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Market
Risk
We
are
exposed to various market risks, primarily foreign currency risks and interest
rate risks.
Foreign
Currency Risk
Our
earnings and cash flows are subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign
currency rates as we have several foreign subsidiaries and continue to explore
expansion into other foreign countries. As a result, exchange rate fluctuations
may have an effect on sales and gross margins. Accounting practices require
that
our results from operations be converted to U.S. dollars for reporting purposes.
Consequently, our reported earnings in future periods may be significantly
affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates, generally increasing with
a
weaker U.S. dollar and decreasing with a strengthening U.S. dollar. Products
manufactured by us for sale to our foreign subsidiaries are transacted in U.S.
dollars.
From
time
to time, we enter into foreign exchange forward contracts with a financial
institution to sell Canadian dollars in order to protect against currency
exchange risk associated with expected future cash flows. We have accounted
for
these contracts as free standing derivatives, such that gains or losses on
the
fair market value of these forward exchange contracts are recorded as other
income and expense in the consolidated statements of operations. The net change
in the fair value of these forward contracts as of June 30, 2007 was a
cumulative expense of $26,000. As of June 30, 2007, we had no hedging
instruments in place to offset exposure to the Australian or New Zealand
dollars, Mexican or Philippine pesos, the Malaysian ringgit, the Singapore
dollar, the EU Euro, or the British pound.
There
have been no other material changes in market risk exposures during the first
six months of 2007 that affect the disclosures presented in Item 7A -
“Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Market Risk” on pages 40 and
41 of our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on March 15, 2007.
Item
No. 4 - Controls and Procedures
Our
management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has reviewed and evaluated the
effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures as of June 30, 2007. Based on such review and evaluation, our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the disclosure
controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2007, to ensure that
the
information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (a) is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the
SEC’s
rules and forms and (b) is accumulated and communicated to our management,
including the officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure. There were no material changes in our internal control
over
financial reporting during the second quarter of 2007 that have materially
affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls
over financial reporting.
13
PART
II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item
No. 1A - Risk Factors
The
below
risk factor associated with our business activities has changed materially
from
the disclosure in our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on March 15, 2007.
We
are affected by extensive laws, governmental regulations, administrative
determinations, court decisions and similar constraints, both domestically
and
abroad, and our or our distributors’ failure to comply with these restraints
could lead to the imposition of significant penalties or claims, which could
harm our financial condition and operating results.
In
both
domestic and foreign markets, the formulation, manufacturing, packaging,
labeling, distribution, importation, exportation, licensing, sale and storage
of
our products are affected by extensive laws, governmental regulations,
administrative determinations, court decisions and similar constraints. There
can be no assurance that we or our distributors are in compliance with all
of
these regulations. Our or our distributors’ failure to comply with these
regulations or new regulations could lead to the imposition of significant
penalties or claims and could negatively impact our business. In addition,
the
adoption of new regulations or changes in the interpretations of existing
regulations may result in significant compliance costs or discontinuation of
product sales and may negatively impact the marketing of our products, resulting
in significant loss of sales.
On
April 12, 2006, the Federal Trade Commission issued its Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking in respect of The Business Opportunity Rule, R511993. The proposed
rule, if enacted in its current form, would likely cause us, as well as most
other direct sellers, to be regulated as a seller of business opportunities
in
the United States. Under the current Business Opportunity Rule, we do not
qualify as a seller of a business opportunity because we offer U.S. distributors
the opportunity to join our business for $40, well below the $500 threshold
required for a company to be subject to the current rule. The proposed rule
would eliminate that threshold. In addition, the proposed rule would require
all
sellers of business opportunities to deliver
written disclosure of certain information to a prospective purchaser seven
days
prior to the time the prospective purchaser could sign any agreement or make
any
payment
in
connection with the business opportunity. The information that a seller of
a
business opportunity would have to provide all prospective purchasers would
include: (1) the seller’s and distributor’s identification information, (2)
whether an earnings claim is made and, if so, provide a detailed earnings claim
statement with substantiating information and certain representations relating
to the earnings of other business opportunity purchasers, (3) legal actions
involving deceptive practices or other matters filed against the seller, its
affiliates and other related parties and/or the presenting distributor in the
last 10 years, (4) whether a cancellation or refund policy is available and,
if
so, a statement describing the policy, (5) the number of business opportunity
purchasers that have canceled within the past two years, and (6) a reference
list of the 10 nearest current or past business opportunity purchasers to the
prospect, with personal information available to allow the prospect to contact
a
listed purchaser. We, along with the Direct Selling Association, other direct
selling companies, and other interested parties have filed comments with the
FTC
opposing adoption of the proposed rule in its current form and suggesting
alternative means to regulate fraudulent business activities without imposing
undue burdens on legitimate companies in the direct selling industry. According
to information we have received from the Direct Selling Association, we expect
that the adoption of a final rule will not likely occur until after public
hearings and discussions are held between members of the direct selling industry
and the staff of the Federal Trade Commission, which may delay adoption of
the
final rule a number of years and result in a final rule that is substantially
different from the proposed rule. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the business
opportunity rule is adopted as proposed, it could negatively impact our business
and result in a decrease in our ability to attract new distributors in the
United States.
On
June
22, 2007, the FDA announced a final rule establishing current good manufacturing
practices, or cGMPs, affecting the manufacture, packing and holding of dietary
supplements. The new rule creates standards to ensure that dietary supplements
and dietary ingredients are not adulterated with contaminants or impurities
and
are labeled to accurately reflect the active ingredients and other ingredients
in the products. It also includes requirements for designing and constructing
physical plants, establishing quality control procedures, and testing
manufactured dietary ingredients and dietary supplements, as well as
requirements for maintaining records. Under the new rule, we are considered
a
small business and, accordingly, have until June 2009 to comply with the final
rule. Currently, we are evaluating the impact of the final rule on our
manufacturing facilities and procedures. If we are required to significantly
alter our manufacturing facilities and/or procedures or make a material
investment in order to comply with the final rule, it could have a material
adverse impact on our financial condition and operating results.
