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 primarily include normal recurring accruals) which management believes are necessary 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, 2010, filed March 17, 2011 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
Note 2-- Comprehensive Income
 
Comprehensive income was $95,199 and $638,514 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, comprehensive income was $167,636 and $959,155, respectively.  The Company's only component of other comprehensive income is the foreign currency translation adjustment.
 
Note 3-- 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:

Options and warrants to purchase 780,798 shares of common stock for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, were not included in the denominator for diluted earnings per share because their effect would be antidilutive. Options and warrants to purchase 806,689 shares of common stock for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, were not included in the denominator for diluted earnings per share because their effect would be antidilutive.

Note 4-- Other Income (Expense)
 
During the first quarter of 2011, the Company reported that a local nominee director and former employee of the Company's Indonesian subsidiary misappropriated approximately $97,000 from the subsidiary's bank account.  At March 31, 2011, it was management's best estimate that recovery of the misappropriated funds from the individual or reimbursement under the Company's crime insurance policy was uncertain.  Therefore, the Company recognized a loss of $97,000, which was recorded within the Other Income (Expense) line in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the three month period ending March 31, 2011.

During the second quarter of 2011, the Company successfully removed the former employee as a local nominee director of the Indonesia subsidiary.  In addition, the Company negotiated a settlement with the former employee which resulted in the former employee returning to the Company approximately $60,000 of the original $97,000 misappropriation.  As a result, the Company recognized a recovery of approximately $60,000, which has been recorded as an increase to income within the Other Income (Expense) line in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the three month period ending June 30, 2011.  For the six month period ending June 30, 2011, the Company has recognized a net expense of $37,000 within the Other Income (Expense) line in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
 
Note 5-- Recent Accounting Standards Pending Adoption
 
In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an amendment on the presentation of other comprehensive income.  Under this amendment, entities will be required to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or two separate but consecutive statements.  The current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity has been eliminated.  This amendment will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2012, and retrospective application is required.  The Company does not anticipate that this amendment will have a material impact on its financial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued amended guidance on fair value measurement and related disclosures.  The new guidance clarified the concepts applicable for fair value measurement of non-financial assets and requires the disclosure of quantitive information about the unobservable inputs used in a fair value measurement.  This guidance will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2012, and will be applied prospectively.  The Company does not anticipate that this amendment will have a material impact on its financial statements.

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.
 
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 and food products under our Relivables brand. We sell our products through an international network marketing system utilizing independent distributors. Sales in the United States represented approximately 83.9% of worldwide net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 85.2% of worldwide net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Our international operations currently generate sales through distributor networks with facilities in Australia, Canada, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, the Philippines, and the United Kingdom.  We also operate on a limited basis in Ireland, Germany, Austria and the Netherlands from our U.K. distribution center, in New Zealand from our Australia office, and in Singapore and Brunei from our Malaysia office.

We derive our revenues principally through product sales made by our global independent distributor base, which, as of June 30, 2011, consisted of approximately 58,450 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.

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 a varying 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

Product sales represent the actual product purchase price typically paid by our distributors, after giving effect to distributor allowances, which can range from 20% to 40% of suggested retail price, depending on the rank of a particular distributor.  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.

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, the cost of shipping 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 in their downline organization. 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. 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 except for those in manufacturing, all other selling expenses, marketing, promotional expenses, travel and other corporate administrative expenses. These other corporate administrative expenses include professional fees, non-manufacturing 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; and the cost of regulatory compliance.

The following table sets forth, as of June 30, 2011 and 2010, 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 Affiliate groups in their downline organization.  Growth in the number of active distributors and Master Affiliates and above is a key factor in the growth of our business.

In the United States, net sales were down 7.0% in the second quarter of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010.   Sales declined in the second quarter of 2011 as the effects of the continuing economic downturn impact us in the form of a lower number of active distributors and distributors at the level of Master Affiliate and above.  In the second quarter of 2011, approximately 403 distributors qualified as new Master Affiliates, compared to approximately 474 in the prior-year quarter, a decline of 15.0%.  As a result, the number of Master Affiliates and above as of June 30, 2011 decreased by 11.7% as compared to the number of Master Affiliates and above as of June 30, 2010.  Another factor in the decline in sales in the United States was fewer new distributor enrollments.  During the second quarter of 2011, approximately 3,218 new distributors were enrolled, compared to 3,255 new distributor enrollments in the prior-year quarter, a decline of 1.1%.  The number of active distributors in the United States as of June 30, 2011 decreased by 7.6% to 45,880, compared to the number of active distributors as of June 30, 2010.   Distributor retention was 70.3% for the first six months of 2011 compared to a rate of 62.6% for all of 2010.  For the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, the decline in net sales in the United States compared to the prior-year period were due to these same factors.

In the second quarter of 2011, we processed approximately 59,700 orders in the United States for products at an average order of $317 at suggested retail.  In the same period of 2010, we processed approximately 64,800 product orders at an average order of $318 at suggested retail.  The average order size for all of 2010 was $336 at suggested retail.

During the three months ended June 30, 2011, net sales in our international operations increased in aggregate by 10.1% to $3.16 million compared to $2.87 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010.  For the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, international net sales increased by 3.8% to $6.38 million compared to $6.15 million in the same period in 2010.  When measured on a constant currency basis, sales decreased in all of our foreign regions, except for Europe, during the first half of 2011.  When net sales are converted using the 2010 exchange rate for both 2010 and 2011, international net sales decreased by 3.7% for the first half of 2011 compared to the first half of the prior year.  Regional sales results on a constant currency basis for the first half of 2011 compared to the first half of 2010 were as follows:  Australia/New Zealand net sales down 16.8%, Canada net sales down 1.4%, Mexico net sales down 16.4%, and Asian sales down 18.4%. In all of these foreign markets, new distributor enrollments and new Master Affiliate qualifications were down in the first half of 2011 commensurate to the decline of sales in the respective markets.

In Europe, strong distributor activity and growth continued in the second quarter of 2011 and resulted in a 34.3% increase in net sales in the second quarter of 2011 and an increase of 48.9% for the first half of 2011 when measured on a constant currency basis, compared to the prior year periods.  New distributor enrollments were up 75% and the number of orders processed increased by 46% in the first half of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010.

Cost of Products Sold. Cost of products sold as a percentage of net sales was 21.2% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2011, compared to 19.7% for the same period in 2010.  For the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, cost of products sold as a percentage of net sales was 20.2 %, compared to 19.9% in the prior-year period.  Gross margins were negatively impacted in the second quarter of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 as we experienced increases in production costs and higher order shipping costs due to general rate increases and higher fuel surcharges.

Distributor Royalties and Commissions.  Distributor royalties and commissions as a percentage of net sales were 37.5% for both the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011, compared to 37.6%  for the three-month period and 37.4% for the six-month period in 2010.  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. For the three months ended June 30, 2011, selling, general and administrative, or SGA, expenses decreased by $133,000, compared to the same period in 2010. SGA expenses as a percentage of net sales were 41.2% and 40.1% for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.   For the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, SGA expenses decreased by $408,000 when compared to the same period in 2010.  SGA expenses as a percentage of net sales were 39.5% and 38.7% for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Sales and marketing expenses decreased by approximately $372,000 in the first half of 2011, compared to the prior-year period.  The decrease is the result of lower distributor bonuses and expenses directly related to the level of sales, a reduction in external sales meeting expenses, and a reduction in newsletter expense.

Distribution and warehouse expenses increased by $42,000 and general and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $78,000 in the first half of 2011, compared to the prior-year period. The decrease in general and administrative expenses consists primarily of a reduction in the annual accrual to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan and lower incentive compensation expense.

Interest Expense.  Interest expense decreased to $72,000 during the first half of 2011 compared to $106,000 in the same period of 2010.  The lower interest expense is the result of a lower interest rate on our term loan with our primary lender that was renegotiated in November 2010.

Other Income/Expense.  Other income/expense in the first half of 2011 was a net amount of income of $14,000, compared to a net amount of income of $21,000 in the first half of 2010.  During the second quarter of 2011, we recovered approximately $60,000 of the $97,000 other expense incurred in our Indonesian subsidiary in the first quarter.  As further described in Note 4 to the Financial Statements, during the first quarter of 2011, a nominee director/former employee of the subsidiary misappropriated this amount from the subsidiary's bank account.

Income Taxes. We recorded income tax expense of $395,000 for the first six months of 2011, an effective rate of 36.8%. In the same period in 2010, we recorded income tax expense of $626,000, which represented an effective rate of 39.7%.  The effective tax rate is lower in 2011 as the result of re-measurements made to our uncertain tax positions.

Net Income. Our net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 was $69,000 ($0.01 per share basic and diluted) and $679,000 ($0.05 per share basic and diluted), respectively, compared to $206,000 ($0.02 per share basic and diluted) and $952,000 ($0.08 per share basic and diluted) for the same periods in 2010. Profitability decreased in the second quarter and first half of 2011 as net sales decreased in the United States as discussed above.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the first six months of 2011, we generated $1.78 million of net cash from operating activities, used $444,000 in investing activities, and used $709,000 in financing activities. This compares to $1.76 million of net cash provided by operating activities, $479,000 used in investing activities, and $505,000 used in financing activities in the same period of 2010. Cash and cash equivalents increased by $684,000 to $7.02 million as of June 30, 2011 compared to $6.33 million as of December 31, 2010.

Significant changes in working capital items consisted of a decrease in inventory of $319,000, an increase in prepaid expenses/other current assets of $367,000, an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $658,000, and an increase in refundable income taxes of $133,000 in the first six months of 2011.  Inventory decreased proportionally with the reduced sales levels.  The increase in prepaid expenses/other current assets is primarily due to the annual premium payments made in the first quarter on most of the corporate insurance policies.  The increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses is partially related to a financing arrangement for our annual corporate insurance policy renewals, coupled with various annual accruals.   Refundable income taxes increased as our corporate estimated income tax deposits exceeded our income tax liability as of June 30, 2011.

Investing activities during the first six months of 2011 consisted of a net investment of $192,000 for capital expenditures and $252,000 for payment for key-man life insurance.  Financing activities during the first six months of 2011 consisted of principal payments of $280,000 on long-term borrowings, $374,000 in cash dividends paid, and $55,000 in purchases of treasury stock.

Stockholders’ equity increased to $14.23 million at June 30, 2011 compared to $13.93 million at December 31, 2010. The increase is due to net income during the first six months of 2011 of $679,000, partially offset by our cash dividend payment of $374,000.  Our working capital balance was $6.99 million at June 30, 2011 compared to $6.86 million at December 31, 2010. The current ratio at June 30, 2011 was 1.98 compared to 2.07 at December 31, 2010.

On November 30, 2010, we entered into a term loan with our primary lender (“the Bank”) in the principal amount of $3.66 million.  The loan was renegotiated from a loan that originated with the Bank on June 29, 2009.  The term of the loan is for a period of three years with interest accruing on the outstanding principal balance at a floating interest rate based on the 30-day LIBOR plus 2.0%.  Monthly principal and interest payments are based on approximately a nine-year amortization.  The aggregate outstanding balance of principal and interest is due and payable on November 30, 2013.

We also renewed a revolving credit facility for $5 million with the Bank.  The credit facility accrues interest on the outstanding principal balance at a floating interest rate based on 30-day LIBOR plus 1.85% and has a maturity date of September 30, 2011.  As of June 30, 2011, there were no outstanding borrowings on the revolving credit facility.

The amended terms of the term loan and revolving credit facility are reflected in separate promissory notes dated November 30, 2010 between us and the Bank.  A separate letter agreement dated June 29, 2009 stating the financial covenants related to the term loan and revolving credit facility continues in effect.

Under the terms of the letter agreement, we have agreed to financial covenants under which we are required to (i) maintain at all times a tangible net worth of not less than $10 million and (ii) maintain at all times a ratio of Total Funded Debt to EBITDA of not greater than 2.5 to 1.  The term loan and revolving credit facility are secured by all of our tangible and intangible assets and also by a mortgage on our building and real estate located in Chesterfield, Missouri.  As of June 30, 2011, we were in compliance with all financial covenants.

Management believes that our internally generated funds coupled with the bank loan facilities will be sufficient to meet working capital requirements for the remainder of 2011.

Critical Accounting Policies

A summary of our critical accounting policies and estimates is presented on pages 23-25 of our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 17, 2011.
 
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, 2011.  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, 2011, 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 2011 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.
