PART I

Item No. 1 - Business

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 sell our products through an international network marketing system using independent distributors. We have sold products in the United States since 1988 and in selected international markets since 1991.

We currently offer 18 nutritional supplements, a line of 5 skin care products and an all-natural sweetener. We have selectively evolved our product offering over our history. Traditionally, our core line of nutritional supplements, which represented 52.5% of net product sales for the year ended December 31, 2013, included the following four products:

•

Reliv Classic and Reliv NOW — two basic nutritional supplements containing a full and balanced blend of vitamins, minerals, proteins and herbs

•

Innergize! — an isotonic sports supplement in two flavors

•

FibRestore — a high-fiber and antioxidant supplement

However, in 2013 we experienced a gradual shift in our product sales mix reflecting an increasing emphasis on Reliv NOW and LunaRich X capsules. Historically, Reliv Classic had been our best-selling product but for the year ended December 31, 2012, for the first time in our history, Reliv NOW became our best-selling product as a result of adding LunaRich soy flour to Reliv NOW. For the year ended December 31, 2013, Reliv NOW constituted 18.8% of net product sales and Reliv Classic constituted 11.4%. While LunaRich X capsules represented only 8.7% of net product sales for the year ended December 31, 2013, sales of LunaRich X capsules as a percentage of net product sales increased steadily after their introduction and we expect that trend to continue into 2014 as the combination of Reliv NOW and LunaRich X capsules increasingly became the focus of our product strategy.

We periodically refine our products and introduce related new products and product categories. Our internal research and development team has developed most of our products, and we hold U.S. patents on seven of these products —FibRestore, Arthaffect, ReversAge, Cellebrate, GlucAffect, ProVantage and 24K. In addition, we have applied for a U.S. patent on our CardioSentials product. We also hold the exclusive license to patents and patent applications related to the nutritional ingredient lunasin through a Technology License Agreement we entered into in July 2013.

We believe that our network marketing model is the best method for the marketing and sale of our products because it utilizes ongoing personal contact among our distributors and their retail customers. This enables our distributors to communicate directly regarding the products, the business opportunity we offer and their personal experiences with both. We provide our distributors with a financially rewarding and entrepreneurial business opportunity, affording them the ability to earn compensation both from the direct sale of products and from sales volume generated by distributors they sponsor. We actively support our distributors by providing marketing materials, a dependable product fulfillment system and frequent educational, training and motivational programs.

	1

The majority of our sales traditionally has been, and is expected to continue to be, made through our distributors in the United States. We also currently generate sales through distributor networks in Australia, Austria, Canada, France, Germany, Indonesia, Ireland, Malaysia, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, the Philippines, Singapore and the United Kingdom. In each country in which we conduct business, our distributors operate under a uniform business and compensation model that maintains consistent marketing, sales, fulfillment, and compliance procedures. As of December 31, 2013, our network consisted of approximately 53,070 distributors — 39,270 in the United States and 13,800 across our international markets.

We manufacture all of our powdered nutritional supplements at our facility in Chesterfield, Missouri. We believe our ability to formulate and manufacture all but two of our own nutritional supplements enables us to produce our products efficiently while maintaining our high standards of quality assurance and proprietary product composition.

Industry Overview

Nutritional Supplement Market

We operate primarily in the $32.5 billion U.S. nutritional supplement market, which is part of the broader $117 billion U.S. nutrition industry according to 2011 data published by the Nutrition Business Journal, or NBJ, and an estimated $320.0 billion global nutrition industry, also according to the NBJ. Additionally, more than 150 million Americans take dietary supplements annually according to the Council for Responsible Nutrition.

A combination of demographic, healthcare and lifestyle trends are expected to drive continued growth in the nutritional supplement market. These trends include:

Aging Population: The older population (persons 65 years or older) numbered 41.3 million in 2011 according to the Department of Health and Human Services. They represented 13.25% of the U.S. population, about one in every eight Americans. By 2050, there will be approximately 89 million older persons living in the U.S., more than twice their number in 2011. In 2011, the leading edge of baby boomers reached aged 65. When the last baby boomer reaches age 65 in 2030, one out of every five Americans-about 72 million people- will be considered older adults according to the CDC. We believe this ever-growing population, living longer lives than in previous decades, will continue to focus on their nutritional needs as they age.

Rising Healthcare Costs and Use of Preventative Maintenance: The costs of healthcare in the United States continue to increase rapidly each year and it grew at an annual rate of 4.1% in 2013 according to the Alatrum Institute. National health care spending is expected to accelerate in 2014, jumping to a 6.1 percent growth rate. Additionally, national health care spending reached $2.8 trillion in 2012, or $8,915 per person, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). As a share of the nation's Gross Domestic Product, health spending accounted for 17.2 percent. Spending should reach $4.5 trillion by 2019 according to the National Coalition on Health Care, or NCHC. In addition, as measured by the 2013 Milliman Medical Index (MMI), the total 2013 medical costs for a typical American family of four covered by a preferred plan provider (PPO) topped out at $22,030, with out of pocket expenses exceeding $9,100. The pharmacy costs for a family of four exceeded $3,290 in 2013. In order to maintain quality of life as well as reduce medical costs, many consumers take preventative measures to improve their general health, including the use of nutritional supplements.

Increasing Focus on Weight Management: According to a report published by the National Center for Health Statistics in January 2012, more than 35%, or more than one-third of U.S. men and women were obese in 2009-2010 as was almost 17% of youth. It is estimated that 86.3% of Americans will be overweight or obese by 2030. Related health care costs to obesity are expected to grow between $860.7 billion to $956.9 billion by 2030 and currently account for almost 21% of U.S. health care costs according to a 2012 report by Cornell University. Being overweight can lead to more serious health concerns such as diabetes, heart disease and other chronic illnesses and individuals who are obese have a 10% to 50% increased risk of death from all causes, compared with healthy weight individuals. Bearing these facts in mind, we believe that there will be an increased need not only for weight loss products but for wellness products as well.

Direct Selling Market

Health and nutrition products are distributed through various market means, including retailers such as supermarkets, drugstores, mass merchants and specialty retailers; direct marketers such as mail order companies and Internet retailers; and direct sellers such as network marketers and healthcare practitioners. We distribute our products through the direct selling channel via our network marketers.

Direct selling involves the marketing of products and services directly to consumers in a person-to-person manner. Direct selling is a significant global industry largely utilized for the sale of a wide range of consumer products from companies such as Avon Products Inc., Alticor Inc. (Amway Corp.) and Tupperware Brands Corporation. According to the World Federation of Direct Selling Associations, or WFDSA, the 2012 global direct selling market (for all product categories) was estimated to be $169 billion, an increase from $153.7 billion in 2011. The WFDSA estimates that the number of individuals engaged in direct selling more than doubled between 1999 and 2012, from 35.9 million sellers to 89.7 million in 2012. The U.S. had 15.9 million direct sellers in 2012, the most of any country. Globally, wellness products came in as the 2^nd top selling category, just a mere 10% behind cosmetics and personal care.

While the United States is currently the largest direct selling market with $31.6 billion in annual sales in 2012, international markets account for 80% of the entire industry, according to the WFDSA. Twenty-two countries (including the United States) have annual direct sales revenue of at least $1 billion and another twenty-seven countries have annual direct sales revenue of at least $100 million, according to the WFDSA.

We believe that we are well positioned to capitalize on the world-wide growth trends in direct sales, as both a developer and manufacturer of proprietary nutritional products, utilizing our network marketing distribution system.

Our Competitive Strengths

We believe that we possess a number of competitive strengths that are our key to growth and profitability in the future.

Complete, Simple Nutrition. We focus on the completeness, balance and simplicity of our basic nutritional supplements — Reliv Classic and Reliv NOW. Because these two basic nutritional supplements each contain a full and balanced blend of vitamins, minerals, proteins and herbs, supplementation is made simple for the consumer, who does not have to select and purchase several supplements for his or her basic nutritional needs. For more specific individual needs, we provide 15 additional supplements. We believe that our two basic nutritional supplements, together with our additional supplements and other products, enhance the ability of our distributors to build their businesses by providing a comprehensive, simple product offering.

Nutritional Supplements Consumed in Liquid Form. We believe that our nutritional supplements which are consumed in liquid form, except for our LunaRich X capsules, provide a competitive advantage over other supplements such as vitamins, minerals and herbs in pill or tablet form. Our powder-based nutritional products are consumed with water, milk or juice and 24K, is a ready-to-drink product. Our products provide an effective means of delivering nutrients to the body. We believe nutrients taken orally in liquid form lead to better absorption at the cellular level, or “bioavailability.” Where serving sizes mandate, as with our LunaRich X capsules, we will use easily digestible capsules as a convenient and effective way of delivering small serving sizes of our powdered nutritional supplements.

In-House Development and Production. We have developed substantially all of our nutritional supplement and food products utilizing nutrition science as the basis for product formulation. We maintain an ongoing research and development effort led by Carl W. Hastings, Ph.D., our Chief Scientific Officer and Vice Chairman. In addition, we consult regularly with other industry professionals with respect to developments in nutritional science, product enhancements and new products. Since 1993, we have manufactured substantially all of our nutritional products at our facility in Chesterfield, Missouri. Currently, we outsource two nutritional supplement products, our 24K and LunaRich X capsules. We believe our ability to formulate and manufacture all but two of our own nutritional supplement products enables us to maintain our high standards of quality assurance and proprietary product composition.

Experienced Ambassador Team. Our Ambassador corps consists of distributors who have achieved the level of Master Director, have earned royalty payments of at least $4,000 in consecutive months and meet our leadership and character criteria necessary to garner our invitation to be an Ambassador. Our Ambassadors generally are our most productive distributors and are essential in recruiting, motivating and training our entire distributor network. We, and our Ambassadors, lead hundreds of annual events throughout all of our markets to motivate and train distributors, including regular recruiting meetings, trainings, conference calls, training schools for Master Affiliates and higher levels and regional, national and international distributor conferences. As of December 31, 2013, we had approximately 374 Ambassadors. The top 10 distributors at the Ambassador level have been with us for an average of 19 years, which provides consistency in training new distributors and contributes to a stable salesforce.

Uniform Distributor Business Model. Our distributor compensation system is essentially uniform throughout our domestic and international markets. The compensation plan is “seamless” in that distributors in each market all receive discounts and commissions on relatively the same terms, subject to a few variances to address market conditions and cultural preferences. We also provide consistent distributor documentation and training throughout our system and in all of our markets. We believe this uniform model is effective in motivating and training distributors to build their businesses and enter new markets.

Experienced and Incentivized Management Team. Our management team is led by our founder, Robert L. Montgomery, who has been our Chief Executive Officer since the inception of our company in 1985. Our executive officers have been employed by our company for an average of 17 years and are experienced in their areas of focus, which include manufacturing, sales, finance, marketing and operations. As of March 3, 2014, our directors and executive officers beneficially own approximately 37.4% of our common stock.

Our Business Strategy

Our basic objective is to increase our net sales by increasing the number and productivity of our distributors and by periodically improving our existing products and introducing new products. We also intend to invest in our infrastructure to improve our operating efficiencies, provide better service to our distributors and leverage our current operating facilities to improve our profitability. We seek to accomplish these objectives by employing the following strategic initiatives:

Leverage and Expand our Existing Distributor Base Throughout the United States. The United States has been and will continue to be our largest market. Our growth strategy in the United States involves multiple initiatives, such as continued investment in company-sponsored events and distributor training and better utilization of our upper-level distributors across different geographical areas to increase our distributor base.

Expand in Existing and New International Markets. We believe there is a significant opportunity to increase our net sales in international markets. We have a uniform business model across all of our markets and encourage our distributors to pursue their business in multiple markets. We believe this uniform business model will encourage expansion of our distributors in our existing international markets and will provide a framework that facilitates our entry into new international markets. To that end, we continue to monitor business conditions in potential new markets and will selectively expand as timing and conditions are appropriate.

Invest in Improved and New Products. As a developer of nutritional supplements, it is vital to continue to invest in the research and development of new and innovative products. Additionally, we will continue to improve and validate the efficacy of our existing product line. For example, in February 2011 we launched 24K, our first ready-to-drink product, to support energy production and mental focus and in January 2013 we launched LunaRich X capsules containing concentrated lunasin to support heart health and overall wellness. In addition, since February 2012 we added LunaRich soy powder, which contains elevated levels of lunasin compared to standard soy powders, to six of our products: Reliv NOW, Reliv NOW for Kids, ProVantage, SoySentials, GlucAffect and Slimplicity. These types of investments should facilitate customer and distributor retention, as well as the recruitment of new distributors.

Expand and Improve our Manufacturing and Distribution Capabilities. We currently manufacture all of our powdered nutritional supplements at our facility in Chesterfield, Missouri. This allows us to precisely control product composition and quality assurance as well as better manage inventory levels. Periodically, we make appropriate investments that enhance our manufacturing capabilities and capacity to further leverage our existing facilities and trained production staff. We expect to continue to make appropriate investments in our manufacturing and fulfillment facilities.

Increase Appeal to Broader Demographic. Traditionally, our customer and distributor demographic has skewed towards baby boomers and older individuals searching for nutritional solutions to supplement their diet and support overall wellness. While continuing to maintain our focus on the needs of this important segment, we believe there is an opportunity to expand our sales and distributor base by increasing our appeal to younger generations interested in nutrition and an active healthy lifestyle. We believe the nutritional aspects and convenience of 24K, our healthy energy and mental focus drink, will attract health conscious on-the-go individuals, many of whom fall within the under-40 demographic. Further, we maintain an active presence on popular social media sites including Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and several other social networks that are popular with younger generations. Our internal social media team is comprised of Gen X and Gen Y staffers who regularly interact with distributors, customers and prospects. We plan to continue to develop products and programs, and expand our technology offerings in an effort to further appeal to younger generations interested in healthy active lifestyles and a vibrant evolving business opportunity.

Our Products

The r products are available in the United States.

Our Reliv All-Natural Sweetener is derived from the stevia plant, has no sugar and contains one gram of fiber. It is to be used in place of sugar or other artificial sweeteners.

Reliv Delight is a powdered nutritional supplement marketed as a milk replacement. Reliv Delight is available in Mexico and the United States.

Research and Development

We maintain an ongoing research and development effort, led by Carl W. Hastings, Ph.D., and consult with other industry professionals with respect to developments in nutritional science, product enhancements and new products. Since 2005, we have introduced four nutritional supplement products, including CardioSentials, Slimplicity meal replacement, 24K, and LunaRich X. From time to time, we have also reformulated and enhanced our products, including the addition of LunaRich soy powder to Reliv NOW, Reliv NOW for Kids, ProVantage, SoySentials, GlucAffect and Slimplicity in 2012. Our research and development team consistently evaluates product advancements in the marketplace and advancements in raw materials and ingredients available for new product ideas and developments.

For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, our research and development expenses were $565,000 and $587,000, respectively.

SL Technology, Inc.

On July 23, 2013, SL Technology, Inc. (“SLTI”), our new wholly-owned subsidiary, and Soy Labs, LLC (“Soy Labs”) entered into a Technology License Agreement (the “License Agreement”) pursuant to which Soy Labs granted SLTI an exclusive license for its intellectual property related to the nutritional ingredient lunasin and other soy-related peptides and proteins. The license covers an issued patent and several patent applications related to lunasin and soy-related peptides, proprietary information and manufacturing processes of Soy Labs. See Note 6 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the terms of the License Agreement.

SLTI has agreed to use reasonable commercial efforts to market the products covered by the License Agreement. In addition, SLTI hired Soy Labs staff and we agreed, subject to certain conditions, to purchase all of our requirements of lunasin from SLTI.

Network Marketing Program

General Overview

We market and sell our products through a network marketing system of independent distributors, who purchase our products from us, or from other distributors, and who then sell our products directly to consumers. In addition to selling our products, our distributors also recruit others to distribute our products. Distributors receive compensation from both the sale of the products they have purchased at wholesale and, in the case of Master Affiliates and above, commissions on the volume of products sold by their downline organization. We believe network marketing is an effective way to distribute our products because it allows and relies on personal contact, education and endorsement of products which are not as readily available through other distribution channels.

We recognize that our sales growth is based on the continued development and growth of our independent distributor force and we strive to maintain an active and motivated distributor network through a combination of quality products, and a business opportunity with distributor discounts, commissions and bonus payments, sales conventions, training, personal recognition and a variety of publications and promotional materials.

Program Structure

Individuals who desire to market and sell our products may become distributors by being sponsored into the program by an existing distributor, and becoming part of that distributor’s “downline.” We offer a tiered discount and commission, or royalty, format that consists of four principal levels and several sub-levels, which are designed to compensate and motivate distributors to increase their networks and sales volumes.

Our distributors consist principally of individuals, although we also permit entities such as corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies and trusts to become distributors. A new distributor is required to complete a distributor application and, in most areas, to purchase a package of distributor materials (for $25 plus shipping in the United States) consisting of a Distributor Guide and CD, business forms and promotional materials. The Distributor Agreement, when accepted by us, becomes the contract between us and the distributor and obligates the distributor to the terms of the agreement, which includes our Policies and Procedures for conduct of their business. All distributors are independent contractors and are not our employees.

In each country in which we conduct business, distributors operate under a uniform compensation system pursuant to which distributors generally are compensated based on their sales volumes. On the basis of sales volume or commission volume, distributors may achieve the following successive levels of achievement and compensation:

Designation	Discount
Retail Distributor	20	%
Affiliate	25	%
Key Affiliate	30	%
Senior Affiliate	35	%
Master Affiliate	40	%⁽¹⁾
Director	40	%⁽¹⁾
Key Director	40	%⁽¹⁾
Senior Director	40	%⁽¹⁾
Master Director/Ambassador	40	%⁽¹⁾
Presidential Director/Ambassador	40	%⁽¹⁾

______________________

⁽¹⁾

In addition to discounts, these levels also receive commissions based on sales in their downline organization.

	9

Distributors purchase products from us at a discount from the suggested retail price for the products and then may sell the product at retail to customers, sell the product to other distributors at wholesale or consume the product. The amount of the discount varies depending on the distributor’s level of achievement, as indicated above.

Distributors generate income equal to the difference between the price at which they sell the product to customers and the discounted price they pay for the product. Distributors also earn wholesale commissions on products purchased by downline distributors in the distributor’s sponsored group equal to the difference between the price at which the distributor is entitled to purchase product and the price at which downline distributors purchase product. We calculate payments and issue a check directly to the qualified distributor once a month. For example, assume Distributor A is a 40% discount Master Affiliate who signs up Distributor B, a 30% discount Key Affiliate, who signs up Distributor C, a 20% discount Retail Distributor. If Distributor C purchases directly from us, a 10% wholesale profit check will be sent to Distributor A and B.

Upon achieving the level of Master Affiliate, distributors begin to receive additional compensation — “generation royalty” — payments of 8%, 6%, 4%, 3% and 2% of the retail volume of product purchased from us by Master Affiliates and above (and their personal groups) whom they have sponsored, and for each of five downline levels of sponsorship. To qualify for these additional compensation payments, Master Affiliates and above are required to maintain certain monthly sales volumes.

Master Affiliates who sponsor other distributors that achieve the level of Master Affiliate are entitled to become part of the Director Program. Advancement at the Director level is based upon achieving increasing levels of royalties based on sales generated by other distributors in the Director’s downline organization. Distributors achieving each level receive recognition for their achievements at our company-sponsored events and in our publications. We also have a Star Director Program under which distributors achieving the level of Director and above receive additional compensation based on the number of Master Affiliates they have sponsored into the program. Directors receive an additional 1% to 3% royalty on the retail sales volume of Master Affiliates in their downline organization for an unlimited number of levels of sponsorship, until reaching a level that includes a Master Affiliate who also has achieved Star Director status.

Master Directors and Presidential Directors may also be invited to participate in the Ambassador Program. As of December 31, 2013, we had approximately 374 Ambassadors. Qualifications to be invited by us to participate in the Ambassador Program include demonstrated competence and leadership qualities. Ambassadors receive recognition and awards for achieving Ambassador status and can then achieve additional levels of accomplishment. We utilize our Ambassadors to lead meetings and conferences, and to provide training and education to our distributors. Ambassadors achieving the level of Silver and higher also participate in the “Reliv Inner Circle,” which may entitle them to receive additional compensation, paid participation in our sponsored events, health insurance and car allowances.

In addition to the levels of compensation described, we also provide a variety of incentives, bonuses, awards and trips to distributors who achieve high sales volumes and who advance in the distributor ranks.

Distributor Training, Motivation and Management

Our marketing efforts are focused on the development, training, motivation and support of our independent distributors. We support an active training program for our distributors in which our representatives and experienced distributors, usually Ambassadors, lead group training sessions. We provide distributors with manuals, brochures and other promotional, training and informational publications. We encourage distributors to hold regular weekly recruiting meetings and training sessions. We sponsor weekly training conference calls in which a significant number of distributors participate.

Our sponsorship generally includes the following:

•

During 2013, we sponsored numerous special events in cities across all of our markets led by corporate executives and/or experienced Ambassadors;

•

For each market in which we operate, we sponsor an annual conference for distributors; and

	10

•

In the United States, we sponsor an annual International Conference in summer for all worldwide distributors and a winter conference for U.S. distributors.

During 2013, we invested approximately $2.49 million in training, conferences and promotional events for our distributors worldwide compared with $2.59 million in 2012.

Distributor Compliance

Our distributor organization and business model are designed and intended to promote the sale of our products to consumers by distributors. Sales training and promotional efforts emphasize that intention. To that end, we monitor purchases by distributors to identify potentially excessive individual purchases and keep detailed information regarding customer purchases through our corporate shopping cart and as part of our autoship program. Distributors are not required at any time to purchase product, although Master Affiliates and above are required to maintain certain minimum sales levels in their personal groups to continue receiving generation royalty compensation payments.

Distributors may create their own advertising provided that it is within our advertising rules. Unless a distributor is using our designed and approved advertisements, the distributor must submit for approval in writing all advertising (e.g. brochures, flyers, audio tapes, classified or display ads, radio scripts) to our Compliance Department before placing it or arranging for placement.

Pursuant to our Policies and Procedures, which are incorporated by reference into our Distributor Agreement, distributors are permitted to make only those claims about our products that have been approved by us and/or provided in sales and training materials. Distributors acknowledge that our products are not represented as drugs and they are not authorized to make any diagnosis of any medical condition, make drug-type claims for, or prescribe our products to treat or cure, any disease or condition. We do not authorize or permit our distributors to make any express or implied references with regard to our products that they cure, prevent or relieve disease, replace or augment medication, provide therapy, promote healing, alleviate illnesses or symptoms of illnesses, or make any other medical claims for specific ailments.

In order to comply with regulations that apply to both us and our distributors, we conduct considerable research into the applicable regulatory framework prior to entering any new market to identify all necessary licenses and approvals and applicable limitations on operations in that market. We devote substantial resources to obtaining the necessary licenses and approvals and maintaining operations that are in compliance with the applicable limitations. We also research laws applicable to distributor operations and revise or alter distributor materials and products, as required by applicable regulations in each market.

Regulations in existing and new markets often are ambiguous and subject to considerable interpretive and enforcement discretion by the responsible regulators. In addition, regulations affecting our business often change and are subject to varying interpretation and application. We make every effort to monitor and comply with changes in laws and regulations as they occur.

We have a Compliance Department that receives and reviews allegations of distributor misconduct. If we determine that a distributor has violated our Policies and Procedures, we may take a number of disciplinary actions. For example, we may impose sanctions such as warnings or suspensions until specific conditions are satisfied, or take other appropriate actions at our discretion, including termination of the distributor’s agreement.

Geographic Presence

Markets

We currently sell our products throughout the United States and in 14 other countries around the world. We have sold products in the United States since 1988 and sold our first product outside of the United States in 1991 when we entered Australia. In 2013, approximately 21.3% of our net sales were generated outside of the United States.

	11

The table below shows the countries in which we operate and the year we commenced selling products:

Country	Year Entered	Country	Year Entered
United States	1988	Ireland	2003
Australia	1991	Singapore	2004
New Zealand	1992	Germany	2005
Canada	1992	Austria	2006
Mexico	1993	Netherlands	2006
United Kingdom⁽¹⁾	1995	Indonesia	2009
Philippines	2000	France	2013
Malaysia	2003

______________________

⁽¹⁾Includes Great Britain, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Within the United States, we sell our products to distributors in all 50 states. We derived 40.1% of our domestic net sales in 2013 in California, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Michigan, Texas, Ohio, and Florida, with each state contributing at least 4% of net sales. We believe that there is the opportunity to increase the number of our distributors in all markets where we sell our products.

We organize all of our international operations under our wholly owned subsidiary, Reliv’ World. As of December 31, 2013, Reliv’ World consisted of the following market-specific entities: Reliv’ Australia, Reliv’ New Zealand, Reliv’ Canada, Reliv’ Mexico, Reliv’ Europe, Reliv’ Philippines, Reliv’ Malaysia, Reliv’ Singapore, and PT Reliv’ Indonesia. We have utilized this method of separate corporations in most of our markets, as local business licensing and product approvals require a local legal entity.

We believe that there is a significant opportunity to increase sales in our current international markets, as a whole. We have established a uniform business model and compensation plan across all of our markets, and we continue to support our international markets with additional marketing programs and materials.

In addition to increasing sales in current international markets, our expansion strategy targets selected new foreign markets. Our presence in the UK, France, Germany, Austria and the Netherlands, as well as market performance, regional interest and distributor activity, have led to an increased focus on expansion in the European Union. We opened for business in France in 2013 and are evaluating other expansion opportunities within the European Union.

New Market Entry Process

We constantly evaluate new markets for our products. In order to do so, we perform an analysis of synergies between new and existing countries and distributor presence or interest in new markets, market conditions, regulatory conditions, product approval procedures and competition before selecting markets to enter. Once we decide to enter a new market, we first hire local legal counsel and/or a consultant with appropriate expertise to:

•

help ensure that our network marketing system and products comply with all applicable regulations;

•

help establish favorable public relations in the new market by acting as an intermediary between us and local regulatory authorities, public officials and business people; and

•

explain our products and product ingredients to appropriate regulators and, when necessary, to arrange for local technicians to conduct required ingredient analysis tests of the products.

Where regulatory approval in a foreign market is required, local counsel and/or consultants work with regulatory agencies to confirm that all of the ingredients in our products are permissible within the new market. Where reformulation of one or more of our products is required, we attempt to obtain substitute or replacement ingredients. During the regulatory compliance process, we may alter the formulation, packaging, branding or labeling of our products to conform to applicable regulations as well as local variations in customs and consumer habits, and we may modify some aspects of our network marketing system as necessary to comply with applicable regulations.

	12

Following completion of the regulatory compliance phase, we undertake the steps necessary to meet the operations requirements of the new market. In the majority of our new markets, we establish a sales center in a major city and provide for product purchases by telephone and/or pick up. Product is shipped to the purchaser from a warehouse located in the general geographic market or the distributor may walk in to the local office and purchase products, if a pick up center is available. In addition, we initiate plans to satisfy inventory, personnel and transportation requirements of the new market, and we modify our distributor materials, recordings, videos and other training materials as necessary to be suitable for the new market.

In some countries, regulations applicable to the activities of our distributors also may affect our business because in some countries we are, or regulators may assert that we are, responsible for our distributors’ conduct. In these countries, regulators may request or require that we take steps to ensure that our distributors comply with local regulations.

Manufacturing

We established a manufacturing line at our headquarters facility in Chesterfield, Missouri and began to manufacture all of our nutritional supplements in early 1993. We expanded our Chesterfield facility in 1997 to now include 126,000 square feet of total space. At this facility, we manufacture all of our powdered nutritional supplements for distribution both domestically and internationally. Our 24K and LunaRich X capsules are manufactured by a third party, as well as our skin care line.

Our ability to manufacture our powdered nutritional supplements is a competitive advantage over competitors not engaged in manufacturing and contributes to our ability to provide high-quality products. Our product manufacturing includes identifying suppliers of raw materials, acquiring the finest quality raw materials, blending exact amounts of raw materials into batches, and canning and labeling the finished products. Since we carefully select our ingredient suppliers, we are able to control the quality of raw materials and our finished products. We have not experienced any significant difficulty in obtaining supplies of raw materials for our nutritional supplements or finished product of our 24K or LunaRich X. By monitoring and testing products at all stages of the manufacturing process, we precisely control product composition. In addition, we can control costs by manufacturing our own powdered nutritional supplements.

In 1996, we received approval from the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration, or TGA, to manufacture products sold in Australia at our Chesterfield plant. The certification of our Chesterfield site by the Australian TGA also satisfied Canadian requirements. In 2013, our Chesterfield plant was audited by the Australian TGA. Our current certification is valid until May 2014 and we expect to be re-certified for an additional three years based on the recently completed TGA audit.

Fulfillment

Distributors order product in case lots of individual quantities and pay for the goods prior to shipment. We offer our Direct Advantage for distributors and their retail customers to order product in less than case lots directly from us by phone. Direct Advantage, an automatic monthly reorder program available for distributors and customers, provides a simple and convenient ordering process for consumers as well as distributors wanting to satisfy maintenance requirements. Product is shipped directly to the distributor or customer and upline distributors earn wholesale profits or, if applicable, a commission on all Direct Advantage sales.

In the United States, our products are warehoused at our Chesterfield facility and shipped by common carrier to distributors upon order. Our facility in Chesterfield, Missouri serves all parts of the country. Our products are also warehoused in, and shipped to local distributors from: Sydney, Australia; Auckland, New Zealand; Oakville, Canada; Guadalajara, Mexico; Redditch (Birmingham) England; Makati (Manila), Philippines; Subang Jaya (Kuala Lumpur), Malaysia; Singapore; and Jakarta, Indonesia. With the exception of our Canada, New Zealand, and Singapore subsidiaries, each of our subsidiaries maintains an office and personnel to receive, record, and fill orders from distributors. Distributors in Ireland, France, Germany, Austria, and the Netherlands order and receive product from our UK-based subsidiary.

	13

We maintain a policy that unused product may be returned by a customer to the selling distributor for a full refund or exchange within 30 days after purchase. We also maintain a policy that any distributor who terminates his or her distributorship may return saleable product which was purchased from us within twelve months of the termination for a refund of 90% of the purchase price less any compensation received relating to the purchase of the products. We believe this buyback policy addresses and satisfies a number of regulatory compliance issues pertaining to network marketing systems.

Historically, product returns and buy backs have not been significant. Product returns and buy backs have been approximately 0.57% and 0.48% of net sales in 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Information Technology Systems

In order to facilitate growth in the future and support our distributor activities, we continually upgrade our management information and telecommunication systems, along with increasing our internet-based capabilities. These systems include: (1) a centralized host computer in our Chesterfield headquarters, which is linked to our international offices via secure data connections that provide real-time order entry and information to respond to distributor inquiries, as well as financial and inventory management systems; (2) local area networks of personal computers within our markets, serving our local administrative staffs; (3) an international e-mail system through which our employees communicate; and (4) internet capabilities that provide a variety of online services to distributors, including product ordering, product information, event information and other related announcements, and tools to assist distributor leaders in managing their downline distributor group. We continue to pursue initiatives to increase the percentage of distributor orders placed via the internet. To accomplish this goal, we continue to make improvements to our shopping cart platform, and we have run periodic incentives to encourage distributors to place their orders via the internet. As a result of these initiatives, approximately 50% of our order volume in the United States is placed via internet.

These systems are designed to provide financial and operating data for management, timely and accurate product ordering, generation royalty payment calculation and processing, inventory management, and detailed distributor records. We intend to continue to invest in our systems in order to help meet our business strategies.

Intellectual Property

Our formulas are protected as trade secrets and, to the extent necessary, by confidentiality agreements. In addition, we have obtained U.S. patents on seven products as set forth below:

Product		Patent Expiration Date

FibRestore		June 2014
Cellebrate		June 2015
Arthaffect		March 2018
ReversAge		May 2021
ProVantage		April 2025
GlucAffect		November 2029
24K		February 2032

Currently, we have 22 trademarks registered with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, or USPTO, including Reliv and the names of 14 of our 18 nutritional products. Reliv NOW for Kids, 24K, LunaRich X and ReShape are not registered with the USPTO. Trademark registrations for selected marks have been issued or applied for in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Germany and several other foreign countries that offer network marketing opportunities. We consider our trademarks to be an important asset of our business.

Regulation

Product Regulation

The formulation, manufacturing, labeling and advertising or promotion of our products are subject to regulation by the Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, which regulates our products under the federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, or FDCA, the Federal Trade Commission, or FTC, and various agencies of the states or countries into which our products are shipped or sold. FDA regulations include requirements and limitations with respect to the labeling of our food and cosmetic products and also with respect to the formulation of those products. FDA regulations also limit and control the extent to which health or other claims can be made with respect to the efficacy of any food or cosmetic. The FDCA has been amended several times with respect to dietary supplements, most recently by the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act of 1990, or NLEA, and the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994, or DSHEA, and related regulations. Such legislation governs the formulation, manufacturing, marketing and sale of nutritional supplements, including the content and presentation of health-related information included on the labels or labeling of nutritional supplements.

The majority of the products we market are classified as dietary supplements under the FDCA. Dietary supplements such as those we manufacture and sell, for which no “drug” claim is made, are not subject to FDA approval prior to their sale. However, DSHEA established a pre-market notification process for dietary supplements that contain a “new dietary ingredient,” or NDI, a term that is defined as “a dietary ingredient that was not marketed in the United States before October 15, 1994,” the date on which DSHEA was signed into law. Certain NDIs that have been “present in the food supply” are exempt from the notification requirement. For those NDIs that are not exempt, DSHEA requires the manufacturer or distributor of a dietary supplement containing an NDI to submit to the FDA, at least 75 days prior to marketing, a notification containing the basis for concluding that the dietary supplement containing the NDI will “reasonably be expected to be safe.” Dietary supplement products can be removed from the market if shown to be unsafe, or if the FDA determines, based on the labeling of products, that the intended use of the product is for the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment or prevention of disease. The FDA can regulate those products as “drugs” and require premarket approval of a “new drug application.” Manufacturers of dietary supplements that make any claims for dietary supplements, including product performance and health benefit claims, must have substantiation that the statements are truthful and not misleading.

In January 2000, the FDA published a final rule that defines the types of statements that can be made concerning the effect of a dietary supplement on the structure or function of the body pursuant to the DSHEA. Under the DSHEA, dietary supplement labeling may bear “structure/function” claims, which are claims that the products affect the structure or function of the body, without prior FDA approval. They may not, without prior FDA approval, bear a claim that they can prevent, treat, cure, mitigate or diagnose disease, otherwise known as a “drug claim.” The final rule describes how the FDA will distinguish drug claims from structure/function claims. Dietary supplements, like conventional foods, are also permitted to make “health claims,” which are claims that are exempt from regulation as “drug” claims pursuant to the amendments to the FDCA established by the NLEA in 1990. A “health claim” is a claim, ordinarily approved by FDA regulation, on a food or dietary supplement product’s labeling that “characterizes the relationship of any substance to a disease or health-related condition.” To help assure that foods, dietary supplements and cosmetics comply with the provisions of the FDCA and FDA’s regulations, the FDA has numerous enforcement tools, including the ability to issue warning letters, initiate product seizures and injunctions and pursue criminal penalties.

The manufacture of dietary supplements is subject to existing FDA current good manufacturing practice, or cGMP, regulations for food. In June 2007, the FDA issued regulations relating to more detailed cGMP specifically for dietary supplements. Under these regulations, we qualify as a small business and became subject to the regulations in June 2009. In September 2009 and in February 2011 our Chesterfield plant was audited by the FDA. We received no notice of deviations from cGMP on Form 483 as a result of those audits. We believe our systems and facilities in Chesterfield are in full compliance with cGMP.

	15

Advertisements for our products are subject to regulation by the FTC. The FTC prohibits unfair methods of competition and unfair or deceptive acts or practices in or affecting commerce and provides that the dissemination of any false advertisement pertaining to drugs, cosmetics or foods, including dietary supplements, is an unfair or deceptive practice. Under the FTC’s substantiation doctrine, an advertiser must have a “reasonable basis” for all claims made about a product. The failure to be able to adequately substantiate claims may be considered either deceptive or unfair practices. In order to avoid a violation of the FTC standards, we endeavor to assure that we have adequate substantiation for all advertising claims made for our products. In addition, the FTC has increased its scrutiny of the use of distributor testimonials. Although it is impossible for us to monitor all the product claims made by our independent distributors, we make efforts to monitor distributor testimonials and restrict inappropriate distributor claims. The FTC has been more aggressive in pursuing enforcement against dietary supplement products since the passage of DSHEA in 1994, and has brought numerous actions against dietary supplement companies, some resulting in several million dollar civil penalties and/or restitution as well as court-ordered injunctions.

We are aware that, in some of our international markets, there has been recent adverse publicity concerning products that contain substances generally referred to as “genetically modified organisms,” or GMOs. In some markets, the possibility of health risks thought to be associated with GMOs has prompted proposed or actual governmental regulation. When necessary, we have responded to government regulations that forbid products containing GMOs by changing certain unacceptable ingredients to non-GMO substitutes. Some of our products in certain markets still contain substances that would be or might be classified as GMOs. We cannot anticipate the extent to which future regulations in these markets will restrict the use of GMOs in our products or the impact of any regulations on our business in those markets. In response to any applicable future regulations, we intend to reformulate our products to satisfy the regulations. Compliance with regulatory requirements in this area should not have a material adverse effect on our business.

Sales Program Regulation

Our distribution and sales program is subject to regulation by the FTC and other federal and state regulation as well as regulations in several countries in which we conduct business. Various state agencies regulate multi-level distribution services. We are required to register with, and submit information to, certain of such agencies and we believe we have complied fully with such requirements. We actively strive to comply with all applicable state and federal laws and regulations affecting our products and our sales and distribution programs. The Attorneys General of several states have taken an active role in investigating and prosecuting companies whose compensation plans they claim violate local anti-pyramid and/or consumer protection statutes. We are unable to predict the effect such increased activity will have on our business in the future nor are we able to predict the probability of future laws, regulations or interpretations which may be passed by state or federal regulatory authorities.

Federal and state laws directed at network marketing programs have been adopted throughout the years to prevent the use of fraudulent practices often characterized as “pyramid schemes.” Illegal pyramid schemes compensate participants primarily for the introduction or enrollment of additional participants into the program. Often these schemes are characterized by large up-front entry or sign-up fees, over-priced products of low value, little or no emphasis on the sale or use of products, high-pressure recruiting tactics and claims of huge and quick financial rewards with little or no effort. Generally, these laws are directed at ensuring that product sales ultimately are made to consumers and that advancement within such sales organizations is based on sales of products.

We believe that our network marketing system satisfies the standards and case law defining a legal marketing system. It is an ongoing part of our business to monitor and respond to regulatory and legal developments, including those that may affect our network marketing system. However, the regulatory and legal requirements concerning network marketing systems do not include “bright line” rules and are inherently fact-based.

Competition

The business of developing and distributing nutritional and skin care products such as those we offer is highly competitive. Numerous manufacturers, distributors and retailers compete for consumers and, in the case of other network marketing companies, for distributors. Our competitors include both network marketing companies such as Alticor Inc. (Amway Corp.), Avon Products Inc., Herbalife Ltd., Mary Kay Inc., Melaleuca, Inc., Mannatech, Inc., Nature’s Sunshine Products Inc., NuSkin Enterprises Inc. and USANA Health Sciences Inc., as well as specialty and mass retail establishments. Our ability to remain competitive depends on the underlying science and high quality of our products and our success in recruiting and retaining distributors. The pool of individuals interested in network marketing tends to be limited in each market and may be reduced to the extent other network marketing companies successfully recruit these individuals into their businesses. We believe that we offer a rewarding compensation plan with attractive financial benefits to compete for the time, attention and commitment of distributors. Our compensation plan is seamless, permitting international expansion.

	16

Reliv NOW and Reliv Classic compete with numerous supplements that offer multi-vitamin benefits. The Reliv Ultrim-Plus, Slimplicity, ReShape and Cellebrate products compete with other products in the weight loss market, including nationally advertised products such as SlimFast. Many companies have entered, or have plans to enter, the sports drink market in which Innergize! and ProVantage compete, a market led by Gatorade. 24K competes with 5-Hour Energy and numerous other liquid energy shots and drinks. With Arthaffect, FibRestore, ReversAge, GlucAffect, CardioSentials, SoySentials, LunaRich X and our skin care products, we are in the specific wellness needs, food and anti-aging markets, which are extremely competitive and led by the major food and skin care companies.

Employees

As of December 31, 2013, we and all of our subsidiaries had approximately 208 full-time employees compared with 214 such employees at the end of 2012.

Item No. 7 - 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K. 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 and an all-natural sweetener. We sell our products through an international network marketing system utilizing independent distributors. Sales in the United States represented approximately 78.7% of worldwide net sales for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to approximately 78.3% for the year ended December 31, 2012. 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, France, Germany, Austria and the Netherlands from our United Kingdom distribution center, in New Zealand from our Australia office, and in Singapore from our Malaysia office.

We derive our revenues principally through product sales made by our global independent distributor base, which, as of December 31, 2013, consisted of approximately 53,070 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

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 distributors, based on products sold in their downline organization. Based on our distributor agreements, these expenses typically approximate 23% of sales at suggested retail. In the United States, effective March 1, 2013, we implemented a retail price increase, offset by a reduced shipping charge. After the price change, wholesale pricing discounts on distributor orders are based on the retail value of the product. Distributor royalties and commissions are paid on an amount referred to as the business value (“BV”), which was generally equal to the retail price of each product prior to the price increase. Also, we include other sales leadership bonuses, such as Ambassador bonuses, within this caption. Overall, distributor royalties and commissions remain directly related to the level of our sales and should continue at comparable levels as a percentage of net sales going forward. We implemented similar pricing structures in Australia/New Zealand in May 2013 and other Asian markets later in the year.

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.

Year Ended December 31, 2013 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2012

Net Sales. Overall, sales decreased by 0.7% worldwide, as sales in the United States decreased by 0.3% in the year ended December 31, 2013 compared with 2012. During 2013, our international sales decreased by 2.4% over the prior year. A strong increase in net sales in Europe was offset in declines in all other international markets in comparing 2013 with 2012.

The following table summarizes net sales by geographic market for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.

The following table sets forth, as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, 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 its 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 achieving growth in our business. The active distributor count for Europe includes our preferred customers in France. This program began in mid-2013 and the Europe active distributor count as of December 31, 2013 includes 1,500 preferred customers.

	December 31, 2013				December 31, 2012				% Change

United States

In the United States, net sales decreased by 0.3% in 2013 compared to 2012. Net sales in the U.S. increased in the fourth quarter of 2013 by 4.1% compared to the prior-year quarter in response to the continued marketing effort around our LunaRich™-based products, coupled with the response to our Ignition Master Affiliate qualification promotion. U.S. fourth-quarter net sales were led by the flagship products in the LunaRich line, Reliv Now® and LunaRich X™, which made up 18.8 and 15.0% of U.S. net sales, respectively. For all of 2013, sales of Reliv Now and LunaRich X represented 18.0 and 10.9% of U.S. net sales, respectively.

	21

Under the Ignition Master Affiliate qualification promotion, new distributors could qualify as a Master Affiliate at 60% of the sales volume previously required. This promotion initially ran through the months of August through December, and the reduced sales volume requirement was made a permanent update to our compensation plan beginning in January 2014. As a result, approximately 2,049 distributors in the United States qualified as new Master Affiliates in 2013 and 68.8% of the Master Affiliates and above as of December 31, 2012 re-qualified as Master Affiliates and above during 2013. This compares with approximately 1,331 new Master Affiliates and a requalification rate of 62.8% in 2012. The number of Master Affiliates and above as of December 31, 2013 increased by 8.5%, compared with the number as of December 31, 2012.

The net number of active Distributors in the United States as of December 31, 2013 decreased by 3.0% to 39,270, compared with the number of active Distributors as of December 31, 2012. In 2013, new distributor enrollments decreased slightly, offset by an improvement in the distributor retention rate. During 2013, approximately 11,130 new distributors were enrolled, compared to 11,748 new distributor enrollments in 2012, a decrease of 5.3%. Distributor retention in the United States improved to approximately 68.2% for 2013 compared with a rate of 66.5% for 2012. Distributor retention is determined by the percentage of active distributors from 2012 that renewed their distributorships in 2013.

In the United States during 2013, we processed approximately 204,000 orders for products at an average order of $362 at suggested retail. In 2012, we processed approximately 217,000 product orders at an average order of $327 at suggested retail. The increase in the average order amount is attributable to the price increase earlier in 2013 coupled with the MA qualification promotion, offset by the decline in the number of orders processed, which is attributable to the decline in the active distributor base.

In addition to the changes to distributor pricing and freight charges in March 2013, our efforts to increase distributor activity and ordering in the United States is focused on product innovation. We have continued our product developments on our LunaRich-based products. In January 2013, we launched our latest product, LunaRich X, and a new points-based LunaRich wellness system. LunaRich X is a capsule sold in 30- and 120-count bottles and contains the most concentrated form of lunasin currently available. Lunasin is the peptide scientists have identified as the key to many of soy’s documented health benefits.

In July 2013, we entered into a Technology License Agreement (“TLA”), through a newly-formed, wholly-owned subsidiary, SL Technology, Inc., with Soy Labs, LLC to secure exclusive rights to certain intellectual property related to lunasin. The license covers an issued patent and several patent applications related to lunasin and soy-related peptides, proprietary information, and manufacturing processes of Soy Labs, LLC. This transaction is described in further detail in Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

International Operations

During the year ended December 31, 2013, net sales in our international operations decreased in aggregate by 2.4% to $14.56 million compared to $14.91 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. Net sales in Europe were up significantly in 2013 but were offset by varying levels of decline in all other international markets. Currency exchange rates in our foreign markets weakened in the aggregate in 2013. When net sales for the full year of 2013 are converted using the 2012 exchange rate for both 2013 and 2012, international net sales decreased by 0.8% for 2013 compared to the prior year. The average exchange rate for the U.S. dollar for all of 2013 was stronger versus the currencies in which we conduct business, except for the New Zealand dollar, Mexican peso, and the Euro when compared with the average exchange rates for all of 2012.

Net sales in the Australia/New Zealand market decreased by 11.9% in 2013 compared with 2012. Excluding the impact of exchange rate fluctuation, net sales in this market decreased by 7.4%. Sales results in this market are negatively impacted by a decline in distributor activity, as shown by a decline in new distributor enrollments and order count. New distributor enrollments were 263 in 2013 compared to 476 in 2012. In 2013, approximately 8,236 orders were placed compared to 7,500 in 2012. New Master Affiliate qualifications decreased in 2013 as 52 distributors qualified as new Master Affiliates, compared with 103 in the prior year. In May 2013, we implemented pricing and freight charge changes similar to those introduced in the United States, along with a preferred customer program and other initiatives. The net loss for the Australia/New Zealand market was $99,000 in 2013, compared to a net income of $19,000 in 2012. In addition to the impact of the decline in sales on profitability, our selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $64,000 as we hired a new regional sales manager in late 2012.

	22

Net sales in Canada decreased by 4.5% in 2013 compared with 2012. Excluding the impact of exchange rate fluctuation, Canadian net sales decreased by 1.7% in 2013 compared with 2012. In 2013, 109 distributors qualified as new Master Affiliates, compared with 67 in the prior year. New distributor enrollments were 466 in 2013 compared with 412 in 2012. The net loss in Canada was $97,000 for 2013, compared to a net loss of $61,000 in 2012. Our results were negatively impacted by a weakening Canadian dollar in 2013, as shown in the amount of foreign currency transaction losses in the year. For 2013, we recorded foreign currency transaction losses of $86,000, compared with transaction gains of $19,000 for 2012.

Net sales in Mexico decreased 7.5% in 2013 compared with 2012. Excluding the impact of exchange rate fluctuation, 2013 net sales decreased by 10.2%, as the Mexican peso strengthened on average for 2013 when compared with the U.S. dollar. New distributor enrollments were 525 in 2013 compared to 1,098 in 2012, and 88 distributors qualified as new Master Affiliates in 2013, compared with 33 in the prior year. The increase in new Master Affiliate qualifications was the result of a promotion run during the second quarter of 2013. We hired a new sales manager for the Mexican market in May 2013, and in December 2013, we began the process of moving our Mexican office to Guadalajara. Guadalajara is one of our two primary areas of business in Mexico, and a number of direct selling companies have their Mexican headquarters located there. The net loss in Mexico for 2013 was $276,000, compared with a net loss of $146,000 in 2012, as the impact of the decline in sales and the employee termination and other relocation costs negatively impacted our financial results.

Our European region includes sales from operations in United Kingdom, Ireland, France, Germany, Austria and the Netherlands. Net sales in Europe increased by 22.7% for 2013 compared with 2012. Excluding the impact of exchange rate fluctuation, net sales in Europe increased by 24.3% in 2013 compared with the prior year. New distributor enrollments were 4,382 in 2013 compared with 5,236 in 2012, and 483 distributors qualified as new Master Affiliates in 2013, compared with 467 in 2012. Our order count in the region increased to approximately 22,891 in 2013 compared with approximately 18,725 in 2012, an increase of 22.3%. In May 2013, we formally began operations in France. As part of changes made to the business model in France to comply with local regulations, we created a preferred customer status with the equivalent purchasing discount as a Retail Distributor. During the remainder of 2013, approximately 1,500 individuals either enrolled as new preferred customers or converted their existing distributorship to this preferred customer status. In early 2013, we moved our European operations into a larger office and warehouse facility in the Birmingham, England area. As shown by the growth in the order count coupled with the commencement of formal operations in France, our net sales continued to improve in 2013. Europe earned net income of $61,000 in 2013, compared with net income of $216,000 in 2012. Profitability improved excluding the impact of the UK management long-term incentive plan. The expense recognized under this plan in 2013 was $264,000 on an after-tax basis.

Our Asian region includes sales from operations in the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, and Indonesia. Net sales in Asia decreased by 41.5% in 2013 compared with the prior year. Excluding the impact of exchange rate fluctuation, 2013 net sales decreased by 41.0%. New distributor enrollments were 1,683 in 2013 compared with 3,826 in 2012, and 112 distributors qualified as new Master Affiliates in 2013, compared with 298 in 2012. Sales declined across the region, as sales in the Philippines decreased by 43.3% in 2013 compared with 2012. Sales in the Malaysia/Singapore/Indonesia/Brunei markets combined decreased by 26.3% in 2013 compared with 2012. In Asia, sales declined as the result of an on-going transition of the business model in the region and changes in management in certain of the local markets. In the Philippines, we have introduced initiatives to bring in new Master Affiliates at a lower qualification level and to increase focus on retail sales by distributors. However, sales have declined while we are executing the implementation and distributor training of these initiatives. As a result of the sales decline, the net loss in Asia for 2013 worsened to $639,000, compared with a net loss of $410,000 in 2012. We ceased operations in Brunei in November 2013 due to poor sales performance.

Cost of Products Sold. Cost of products sold as a percentage of net sales increased to 20.6% for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared with 19.9% for the year ended December 31, 2012. Gross margins declined in 2013 compared with 2012 as the result of increases in the cost of various raw materials and other production costs, along with changes in the sales mix.

Distributor Royalties and Commissions. Distributor royalties and commissions as a percentage of net sales was 36.5 % and 37.6% for each of the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The decrease as a percentage of net sales is the result of the retail price increase and commission adjustments effective March 1, 2013 in the United States and later in the year for other markets. After the price change, wholesale discounts on distributor orders are based on the retail value of the product. Distributor royalties and commissions are paid on an amount referred to as the business value (“BV”), which is generally equal to the retail price of each product prior to the price increase.

	23

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. For 2013, selling, general and administrative (“SGA”) expenses increased by $283,000 compared with 2012. SGA expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 40.7% in 2013 compared with 40.0% in 2012, as a function of the decline in consolidated net sales.

Sales and marketing expenses decreased by $308,000 in 2013. Of that amount, $194,000 represented the decrease in expenses directly related to sales volume, such as star director bonuses, other sales production bonuses, and credit card fees. Other changes included a decrease of $24,000 for our distributor conferences and other training events, a decrease of $79,000 for promotions expense, offset by an increase in advertising expense of $148,000. The reduction in expense for distributor conferences and other training events was part of a continued effort to reduce these expenses relative to our current level of sales, and the increase in advertising expense is related to a public relations campaign in the first half of 2013.

General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses, excluding salaries and benefits, increased by approximately $177,000 in 2013 compared with 2012. Significant decreases included a decrease in accounting fees of $120,000, a decrease in stock option expense of $60,000, a decrease of $61,000 in business insurance expense, a decrease of $75,000 in product development expenses, and a decrease of $89,000 in legal fees. Increases included an increase in outsourced data center and consulting services of $124,000, an increase in professional and consulting fees of $114,000, and an increase of $352,000 in compensation expense recognized as part of a long-term incentive agreement with our management team in our European subsidiary. This incentive agreement is further detailed in Note 13 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Salaries, incentive compensation expense, and benefits increased by $440,000 in 2013 compared to 2012. We added 5 staff positions in our SL Technology, Inc. unit in the transfer of staffing from Soy Labs, LLC which represented $211,000 of this increase. We also added key positions in new sales managers in our Mexico and Australia subsidiaries. General and administrative expenses include staffing and other G&A expenses in the second half of 2013 of our new subsidiary, SL Technology, Inc., which was formed as part of the technology licensing agreement we entered into in July 2013. This transaction is described in further detail in Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Interest Income/Expense. Interest income increased to $149,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared with $129,000 for the same period in 2012. The increase in interest income is the result of a full year’s interest earned on the note receivable due from a distributor that was entered into in March 2012. Interest expense decreased to $82,000 for 2013 compared with $100,000 for 2012. The lower interest expense is the result of a decrease in the weighted average amount of debt compared to the prior year.

Other Income/Expense. Other income/expense in 2013 was a net amount of expense of $138,000, compared to a net amount of income of $406,000 in 2012. The 2013 net expense is due to foreign exchange transaction losses. The 2012 other income is primarily the result of the gain of $410,000 ($247,000 net of tax) in July 2012 recognized as the result of the modification to an obligation relating to a prior year purchase of a distributorship. This transaction is described in greater detail in Note 6 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Income Taxes. We recorded income tax expense of $655,000 for 2012, representing an effective rate of 45.8%. In 2012, we recorded income tax expense of $789,000, representing an effective rate of 36.7%. The higher effective rate in 2013 is the result of non-deductible losses and minimum taxes due in certain foreign subsidiaries.

Net Income. Our net income decreased to $777,000 ($0.06 per share basic and diluted) for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared with $1.36 million ($0.11 per share basic and diluted) for 2012. Excluding the modification gain discussed above, sales and profitability in the United States remained relatively constant. Operating losses in international operations increased as the result of declines in sales in all markets except Europe, coupled with additional expenses in Mexico and Australia. Net income in the United States was $1.83 million in 2013, compared with $1.74 million in 2012. The net loss from international operations increased to $1.05 million in 2013, compared with a net loss of $382,000 in 2012.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

We generated $2.59 million of net cash during 2013 from operating activities, $1.77 million was used in investing activities, and financing activities provided $149,000 in net cash. This compares with $2.47 million of net cash provided by operating activities, $2.79 million used in investing activities, and $1.16 million used in financing activities in 2012. Cash and cash equivalents increased by $856,000 to $6.66 million as of December 31, 2013 compared with December 31, 2012.

Significant changes in working capital items consisted of an increase in income taxes payable of $200,000, and an increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other non-current liabilities of $509,000 in 2013. The increase in income taxes payable is due to our improved performance in the fourth quarter of 2013 compared to the prior year quarter, and the increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other non-current liabilities is primarily related to the increase in accrued compensation expense due under the European management incentive agreement.

Our net investing activities included $379,000 and $485,000 in net capital expenditures for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Payments for key-man life insurance were $320,000 in 2013 and $301,000 in 2012. Investing activities in 2013 also included a payment of $1.15 million related to the acquisition of the lunasin technology licensing agreement. Investing activities in 2012 also included a purchase of a note and mortgage for $2 million as discussed in Note 10 of the Consolidated Financial Statements. We received principal payments of $79,000 on this note in 2013.

Financing activities in 2013 consisted of $1.15 million in proceeds from the revolving line of credit, principal payments of $630,000 on long-term borrowings, $379,000 in cash dividends paid, $14,000 in proceeds on the exercise of stock warrants, and $5,000 in treasury stock purchased. Financing activities in 2012 consisted of $710,000 in payments on long-term debt, $376,000 in common stock dividends paid, and $71,000 in payments for purchases of our common stock into treasury.

Stockholders’ equity increased to $16.13 million at December 31, 2013 compared with $15.58 million at December 31, 2012. The increase represents our net income of $777,000 for 2013, offset by our cash dividend of $379,000. Other changes to equity include the contribution of treasury shares to our ESOP of $125,000, a favorable adjustment in our cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment of $7,000, the purchase of treasury stock of $5,000, and other transactions related to equity-based compensation with a net increase in equity of $24,000.

Our working capital balance was $6.51 million at December 31, 2013 compared to $5.88 million at December 31, 2012. The current ratio at December 31, 2013 was 1.98 compared with 1.89 at the previous year-end.

In September 2012, we entered into a term loan with our primary lender (“the Bank”) in the principal amount of $2.90 million. The loan was renegotiated from a loan that originated with the Bank on November 30, 2010. The term of the loan is for a period of three years and two months with interest accruing on the outstanding principal balance at a floating interest rate based on the 30-day LIBOR plus 2.0%.

On February 28, 2014, we re-financed the 2012 term loan agreement (and its revolving line of credit agreement) with the Bank. The 2014 re-financed term loan is for a period of twenty-eight months with the same floating interest rate pricing as the 2012 term loan. The total loan amount of the new 2014 term loan is approximately $3.48 million and consists of the February 28, 2014 outstanding balances of the 2012 term loan and the revolving line of credit loan balance of $1.15 million. Upon the completion of this February 28, 2014 re-financing, the revolving line of credit loan balance is zero. The credit agreement has a maturity date of July 1, 2016. The terms of this new credit agreement are described as a subsequent event in Note 6 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The new credit agreement includes a revolving credit facility for $5 million. 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 the same maturity date as the 2014 term loan of July 1, 2016. After the new credit agreement was completed, there were no outstanding borrowings on the revolving credit facility.

	25

The new credit agreement is secured by all our tangible and intangible assets and also by a mortgage on the real estate of our headquarters. These agreements also include loan covenants requiring us to maintain net tangible worth of not less than $11 million, and a fixed charge coverage ratio under which EBITDA adjusted for certain non-cash expenses shall exceed the fixed charges, including unfinanced capital expenditures, dividends and other distributions, cash taxes paid, and principal and interest due on all debt obligations, by a ratio of at least 1.15 to 1. As of December 31, 2013, we were in compliance with its loan covenants.

Management believes that our cash on hand, cash generated from operating activities and availability of credit under the bank loan facilities will be sufficient to meet working capital requirements for the remainder of 2014.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our financial statements are based on the selection and application of significant accounting policies, which require management to make significant estimates and assumptions. We believe that the following are some of the more critical judgment areas in the application of our accounting policies that currently affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Revenue

We receive payment by credit card, personal check, or guaranteed funds for orders from independent distributors and make related commission payments in the following month. Net sales reflect product sales at suggested retail price less the distributor discount of 20% to 40%. Sales revenue and commission expenses are recorded when the merchandise is shipped, as this is the point title and risk of loss pass. In accordance with FASB ASC, Topic 650-50, “Revenue Recognition-Customer Payments and Incentives,” we present distributor royalty and commission expense as an operating expense, rather than a reduction to net sales, as these payments are not made to the purchasing distributor.

Actual and estimated returns are classified as a reduction of net sales. We estimate and accrue a reserve for product returns based on our return policy and historical experience. Our return policy allows for a distributor to return product only upon termination of his or her distributorship. Allowable returns are limited to saleable product which was purchased within twelve months of the termination for a refund of 90% of the original purchase price less any distributor royalties and commission received relating to the original purchase of the returned products. Total returns have been approximately 0.57% and 0.48% of net sales in 2013 and 2012, respectively. We record handling and freight income as a component of net sales and record handling and freight costs as a component of cost of products sold. Total revenues do not include sales tax as we consider ourselves a pass-through conduit for collecting and remitting applicable sales taxes.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Product cost includes raw material, labor and overhead costs and is accounted for using the first-in, first-out basis. On a periodic basis, we review our inventory levels in each country for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable items, as compared to future demand requirements and the shelf life of the various products. Based on this review, we record inventory write-downs when costs exceed expected net realizable value. Historically, our estimates of obsolete or unmarketable items have been materially accurate.

Sales aids and promotional materials inventories represent distributor kits, product brochures, and other sales and business development materials which are held for sale to distributors. Costs of the sales aids and promotional materials held for sale are capitalized as inventories and subsequently recorded to cost of goods sold upon recognition of revenue when sold to distributors. All other advertising and promotional costs are expensed when incurred.

	26

Amortizable Intangible Assets

We record intangible assets based on management’s determination of the fair value of the respective assets at the time of acquisition. Determining the fair value of intangible assets is judgmental and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions of future company operations. We base our fair value estimates and related asset lives on assumptions we believe to be reasonable but that are unpredictable and inherently uncertain. Actual future results may differ from these estimates.

Intangible assets estimated to have finite estimable lives are amortized over their estimated economic life under the straight-line method; such method correlates to our estimate of the assets’ economic benefit. Based on our estimates at origination, these lives range from two to seventeen years. Related amortization expense is presented within Selling, General, and Administrative in the accompanying consolidated statements of net income and comprehensive income. As of December 31, 2013, remaining lives of intangible assets range from three to seventeen years.

Foreign Currency Translation

All balance sheet accounts are translated using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Statements of operations amounts are translated using the average exchange rate for the year-to-date periods. The gains and losses resulting from the changes in exchange rates during the period have been reported in other comprehensive loss. Foreign currency translation adjustments exclude income tax expense (benefit) given that our investments in non-U.S. subsidiaries are deemed to be reinvested for an indefinite period of time.

Legal Proceedings

In the ordinary course of business, we are subject to various legal proceedings, including lawsuits and other claims related to labor, product and other matters. We are required to assess the likelihood of adverse judgments and outcomes to these matters as well as the range of potential loss. Such assessments are required to determine whether a loss contingency reserve is required under the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 450, “Contingencies,” and to determine the amount of required reserves, if any. These assessments are subjective in nature. Management makes these assessments for each individual matter based on consultation with outside counsel and based on prior experience with similar claims. To the extent additional information becomes available or our strategies or assessments change, our estimates of potential liability for a given matter may change. Changes to estimates of liability would result in a corresponding additional charge or benefit recognized in the statement of operations in the period in which such changes become known. We recognize the costs associated with legal defense in the periods incurred. Accordingly, the future costs of defending claims are not included in our estimated liability.

Stock-Based Compensation

We have stock-based incentive plans under which we may grant stock option, restricted stock, and unrestricted stock awards. We recognize stock-based compensation expense based on the grant date fair value of the award and the related vesting terms as proscribed in FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation.” Based on the nature of the grant, we use either the Black-Scholes option pricing or a binomial model to determine the fair value of stock options which requires us to estimate certain key assumptions. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, we incurred employee stock-based compensation cost of $36,800 ($35,000 net of tax), and $96,800 ($74,000 net of tax), respectively.

Income Tax Matters

We account for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” (ASC Topic 740) which requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be recognized using enacted tax rates for the effect of temporary differences between the book and tax bases of recorded assets and liabilities. ASC Topic 740 also requires that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is “more likely than not” that some portion or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized. In our quarterly evaluation of the need for a valuation allowance, we take into account various factors, including the expected level of future taxable income and available tax planning strategies. If actual results differ from the assumptions made in our previous evaluation of our valuation allowance, we may record a change in valuation allowance through income tax expense in the period this determination is made.

	27

At December 31, 2013, we had deferred tax assets related to net operating loss carryforwards and other income tax credits with a tax value of $3.6 million. These net operating loss carryforwards have various expiration dates, depending on the country and period in which they occurred. A valuation allowance of $3.6 million has been established for these deferred tax assets based on projected future taxable income and the expiration dates of these carryforwards.

The calculations of our tax liabilities involve dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations. We recognize liabilities for uncertain tax positions based on the two-step process prescribed in the guidance under ASC Topic 740. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step requires us to estimate and measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. It is inherently difficult and subjective to estimate such amounts, as we have to determine the probability of various possible outcomes. We reevaluate these uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis. This evaluation is based on factors including, but not limited to, changes in facts or circumstances, changes in tax law, effectively settled issues under audit, or new audit activity. Such a change in recognition or measurement would result in the recognition of a tax benefit or an additional charge to the tax provision.

Evaluation of Disclosure 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 December 31, 2013. 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 December 31, 2013, 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.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the 1992 framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. This evaluation included review of the documentation of controls, evaluation of the design effectiveness of controls, testing of the operating effectiveness of controls and a conclusion on this evaluation. Although there are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any system of internal control over financial reporting, based on our evaluation, management has concluded our internal controls over financial reporting were effective as of December 31, 2013.

Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

Reliv’ International, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Reliv’ International, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of net income and comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2013. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Reliv’ International, Inc. and Subsidiaries at December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2013, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

1. Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Business

Reliv’ International, Inc. (the Company) produces a proprietary line of nutritional supplements addressing basic nutrition, specific wellness needs, weight management, and sports nutrition. These products are sold by subsidiaries of the Company to a sales force of independent distributors of the Company that sell products directly to consumers. The Company and its subsidiaries sell products to distributors throughout the United States and in Australia, Austria, Brunei, Canada, France, Germany, Indonesia, Ireland, Malaysia, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, the Philippines, Singapore, and the United Kingdom.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its foreign and domestic subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Product cost includes raw materials, labor, and overhead costs and is accounted for on a first-in, first-out basis. On a periodic basis, the Company reviews its inventory levels, as compared to future demand requirements and the shelf life of the various products. Based on this review, the Company records inventory write-downs when necessary.

Sales aids and promotional materials inventories represent distributor kits, product brochures, and other sales and business development materials which are held for sale to distributors. Cost of the sales aids and promotional materials held for sale are capitalized as inventories and subsequently recorded to cost of goods sold upon recognition of revenue when sold to distributors. All other advertising and promotional costs are expensed when incurred.

Property, Plant, and Equipment

Property, plant, and equipment are stated on the cost basis. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line or an accelerated method over the useful life of the related assets. Generally, computer equipment and software are depreciated over 5 years, office equipment and machinery over 7 years, and real property over 39 years.

1. Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Foreign Currency Translation and Transaction Gains or Losses

All balance sheet accounts have been translated using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Statements of income amounts have been translated using the average exchange rate for the year. The gains and losses resulting from the changes in exchange rates from year to year have been reported in other comprehensive income (loss). The foreign currency translation adjustment is the only component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. If applicable, foreign currency translation adjustments exclude income tax expense (benefit) as certain of the Company’s investments in non-U.S. subsidiaries are deemed to be reinvested for an indefinite period of time. Transaction gains/(losses) were $(126,188) and $21,139 for 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

The Company receives payment by credit card, personal check, or guaranteed funds for orders from independent distributors and makes related commission payments in the following month. Generally, net sales reflect product sales less the distributor discount of 20 percent to 40 percent of the suggested retail price. Sales revenue and commission expenses are recorded when the merchandise is shipped, as this is the point title and risk of loss pass to the distributor. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605-50, “Revenue Recognition – Customer Payments and Incentives,” the Company presents distributor royalty and commission expense as an operating expense, rather than a reduction to net sales, as these payments are not made to the purchasing distributor.

Actual and estimated sales returns are classified as a reduction of net sales. The Company estimates and accrues a reserve for product returns based on the Company’s return policy and historical experience. The Company’s return policy allows for distributors to return product only upon termination of his or her distributorship. Allowable returns are limited to saleable product which was purchased within twelve months of the termination for a refund of 90% of the original purchase price less any distributor royalties and commission received relating to the original purchase of the returned products. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, total returns as a percent of net sales were approximately 0.57 % and 0.48%, respectively.

The Company records handling and freight income as a component of net sales and records handling and freight costs as a component of cost of products sold. Total revenues do not include sales tax as the Company considers itself a pass-through conduit for collecting and remitting applicable sales taxes.

Basic and Diluted Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per common share are computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common 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. See Note 8 for additional information regarding earnings per share.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has stock-based incentive plans under which it may grant stock option, restricted stock, and unrestricted stock awards. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense based on the grant date fair value of the award and the related vesting terms. The fair value of stock-based awards is primarily determined using the Black-Scholes model, which incorporates assumptions regarding the risk-free interest rate, expected volatility, expected option life, and dividend yield. See Note 7 for additional information.

The Company accounts for options granted to non-employees and warrants granted to distributors under the fair value approach required by FASB ASC Topic 505-50, “Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees.”

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes is computed using the liability method. The primary differences between financial statement and taxable income result from financial statement accruals and reserves and differences between depreciation and stock options for book and tax purposes.

Unrecognized tax benefits are accounted for as required by FASB ASC Topic 740 which prescribes a more likely than not threshold for financial statement presentation and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. See Note 11 for further discussion.

Fair Value Measurements

FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires disclosures about fair value measurements required under other accounting pronouncements. See Note 5 for further discussion.

Advertising

Costs of sales aids and promotional materials are capitalized as inventories. All other advertising and promotional costs are expensed when incurred. The Company recorded $191,800 and $44,000 of advertising expense in 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Amortizable Intangible Assets

The Company records intangible assets based on management’s determination of the fair value of the respective assets at the time of acquisition. Determining the fair value of intangible assets is judgmental and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions of future company operations. The Company bases its fair value estimates and related asset lives on assumptions it believes to be reasonable but that are unpredictable and inherently uncertain. Actual future results may differ from these estimates.

Intangible assets estimated to have finite estimable lives are amortized over their estimated economic life under the straight-line method; such method correlates to management’s estimate of the assets’ economic benefit. Based on management’s estimates at origination, these lives range from two to seventeen years. Related amortization expense is presented within Selling, General, and Administrative in the accompanying consolidated statements of net income and comprehensive income. As of December 31, 2013, remaining lives of intangible assets range from three to seventeen years.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses, which are charged to selling, general, and administrative expenses as incurred, were $565,000 and $587,000 in 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Cash Equivalents

The Company's policy is to consider the following as cash and cash equivalents: demand deposits and short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair value can be measured using valuation techniques such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). Accounting standards utilize a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those levels:

Level 1:

Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

	F-13

Reliv’ International, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

5. Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)

Level 2:

Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

Level 3:

Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions.

The carrying value of other financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to their short maturities or variable-rate nature of the respective balances.

6. Debt

Debt at December 31, 2013 and 2012 consists of the following:

Revolving loan agreements

	F-14

Reliv’ International, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

6. Debt (continued)

Revolving loan agreements (continued)

Effective September 30, 2012, the Company entered into a new one-year $5 million revolving loan agreement (2012) with its primary lender. Similar to the previous agreements, any advances under the revolver accrue interest at a variable interest rate based on 30-day LIBOR + 1.85%. Interest, if any, is payable monthly. In August 2013, in conjunction with its acquisition of a technology license, the Company borrowed $1.15 million under its revolving line of credit and this balance remained outstanding at December 31, 2013.

On February 28, 2014, the Company and its primary lender amended the revolving line of credit agreement and the term loan agreement. As part of the amendment, the $5 million revolving line of credit agreement has been extended to July 1, 2016 and the outstanding revolving loan balance of $1.15 million has been re-financed into the term loan balance. As a result, the Company has presented the December 31, 2013 revolving line of credit balance of $1,150,000 as non-current in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Term Loan

On November 30, 2010, the Company re-financed its then-existing term loan agreement with its primary lender. The 2010 re-financed term loan was for a period of three years with interest accruing at a floating interest rate based on the 30-day LIBOR plus 2%. Monthly principal and interest were based on approximately a nine-year amortization with a balloon payment for the outstanding balance due and payable on November 30, 2013.

On September 30, 2012, the Company re-financed the 2010 term loan agreement with its primary lender. The 2012 re-financed term loan is for a period of thirty-eight months with interest accruing at a floating interest rate based on the 30-day LIBOR plus 2%. At December 31, 2013, the term loan’s interest rate was 2.17%. Monthly principal and interest are based on approximately a seven-year amortization. The aggregate outstanding balance of principal and interest was due and payable on November 30, 2015.

On February 28, 2014, the Company re-financed the 2012 term loan agreement and its revolving line of credit agreement with its primary lender. The 2014 re-financed term loan is for a period of twenty-eight months with the same floating interest rate pricing as the 2012 term loan. The total borrowings on the new 2014 term loan is approximately $3.5 million and consists of the February 28, 2014 outstanding balances of the 2012 term loan and the revolving line of credit loan balance of $1.15 million. Thus, upon the completion of this February 28, 2014 re-financing, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under its revolving line of credit agreement.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

6. Debt (continued)

Term Loan (continued)

The term loan agreement and revolving line of credit agreement are secured by all tangible and intangible assets of the Company and also by a mortgage on the real estate of the Company’s headquarters. These agreements also include loan covenants requiring the Company to maintain net tangible worth of not less than $11 million, and that borrowings under the agreements shall not exceed EBITDA by a ratio of 2.5 to 1. At December 31, 2013, the Company was in compliance with its loan covenants.

Obligation for Acquisition of Technology License, net

In July 2013, a newly-formed, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company entered into a Technology License Agreement (TLA) with a privately-held company. The TLA provides the Company the exclusive license for certain intellectual property related to the nutritional ingredient lunasin and other soy-related peptides and proteins. In consideration for the TLA, the Company agreed to pay the licensor a purchase price of $2 million; $1.15 million paid at closing, with the remaining obligation (non-interest bearing) paid over the next four years in a series of annual payments ranging from $150,000 to $250,000 as stated in the agreement. Subject to certain minimum and maximum thresholds, the Company may also pay the licensor royalties of 5% of sales during the first five years of the TLA and royalties ranging from 1% to 3% of sales during the remaining life of the TLA. As of December 31, 2013, management’s estimate of earned but unpaid royalties is zero. The Company has accounted for the TLA as an asset purchase acquisition consisting of a long-term finite-lived asset to be amortized over the life of the associated intellectual property (approximately seventeen years).

Obligation for Purchase of Distributorship, as modified

On August 31, 2009, the Company acquired an independent Reliv distributorship from its owner (“Seller”) which resulted in the Seller financing $1,343,881 of the purchase price over a period of seven years with monthly payments of principal and interest totaling $18,994.

At June 30, 2012, the Company’s remaining balance due to the Seller under this transaction was approximately $856,000. On July 17, 2012, the Company and Seller entered into an Agreement to modify the Company’s remaining obligation to equal twelve consecutive monthly payments of principal and interest of $37,500 with the first payment commencing in July 2012. The Company has presented the 2012 non-cash gain of $410,320 relating to this modification as Other Income in the accompanying consolidated statements of net income and comprehensive income. As of December 31, 2013, the Company’s obligation for purchase of a distributorship has been repaid.

Stock Options

2009 Incentive Stock Plan

The Company sponsors an incentive stock plan (the “2009 Plan”) allowing for a maximum of 1,000,000 shares to be granted in the form of either incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock awards, or unrestricted stock awards. Employees, directors, advisors, and consultants of the Company are eligible to receive the grants. The plan has been approved by the stockholders of the Company. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors administers the plan.

The 2009 Plan provides that options may be issued under the plan at an option price not less than fair market value of the stock at the time the option is granted. Under the 2009 Plan, restricted stock of the Company may be granted at no cost to the grantee. The grantees are entitled to dividends and voting rights for their respective shares. Restrictions limit the sale or transfer of these shares during the requisite service period. In addition, the committee may grant or sell unrestricted stock at a purchase price to be determined by the committee.

Vesting terms and restrictions, if applicable, under the plan, are set by the committee and will be 10 years or less. The 2009 Plan expires in 2019.

In January 2012, the Company issued stock option grants totaling 775,000 shares. These option grants contain exercise prices ranging from $1.20 to $1.32 per share with a five-year term. One half of the options granted have time vesting provisions ranging from one to 4.8 years while the remainder have vesting provisions that are contingent upon the Company achieving certain financial performance measurements. The aggregate estimated compensation cost related to the time vesting stock option grant is $172,000 recognized on a straight-line basis over the weighted requisite service periods. The aggregate estimated compensation cost related to the performance based options is $185,000; however, recognition is contingent upon performance vesting. The grant-date fair value of the options range from $0.42 to $0.48 per share and was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using an average risk-free rate of 0.82%, an average dividend yield of 1.60%, and an average volatility of 49.31%.

In March 2013, the Company issued performance-based stock option grants totaling 230,000 shares. These option grants have an exercise price of $1.17 per share with a five-year term. The options’ vesting provisions are contingent upon the Company achieving certain financial performance measurements. The aggregate estimated compensation cost related to the performance based options is $110,400; however, recognition is contingent upon performance vesting. The grant-date fair value of the options was $0.48 per share and was determined using a binomial option pricing model using an average risk-free rate of 0.90%, an average dividend yield of 1.60%, and an average volatility of 52.7%.

2003 Stock Option Plan

The Company sponsors a stock option plan (the “2003 Plan”) allowing for incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options to be granted to employees and eligible directors. The plan has been approved by the stockholders of the Company. The 2003 Plan provided that a maximum of 1,000,000 shares may be issued under the plan at an option price not less than the fair market value of the stock at the time the option is granted. The options vest pursuant to the schedule set forth for the plan. With stockholder approval of the 2009 Incentive Stock Plan, the Board of Directors resolved not to award any additional stock option grants under the 2003 Plan.

Compensation cost for all of the stock option plans was approximately $36,772 ($35,000 net of tax) and $96,800 ($74,000 net of tax) for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and has been recorded in selling, general, and administrative expense. As of December 31, 2013, the total remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to the non-vested portion of time vesting stock options totaled $98,000 ($95,000 net of tax), which will be amortized over the weighted remaining requisite service period of three years.

For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, no stock options were exercised.

Distributor Stock Purchase Plan

In July 2009, the Company established a Distributor Stock Purchase Plan (2009 Plan) which replaced a similar plan which had expired. The 2009 Plan commenced in August 2009. Since inception, a total of 57,071 warrants have been issued under the 2009 Plan.

The plan allows distributors who have reached the “Ambassador” status the opportunity to allocate up to 10% of their monthly compensation into the plan to be used to purchase the Company’s common stock at the current market value. The plan also states that at the end of each year, the Company will grant warrants to purchase additional shares of the Company’s common stock based on the number of shares purchased by the distributors under the plan during the year. The warrant exercise price will equal the market price for the Company’s common stock at the date of issuance. The warrants issued shall be in the amount of 25% of the total shares purchased under the plan during the year and the warrants are fully vested upon grant.

The Company records expense under the fair value method for warrants granted to distributors. Total expense recorded for these warrants was $4,973 and $5,665 in 2013 and 2012, respectively.

10. Note Receivable Due From Distributor

In March 2012, the Company purchased a note and mortgage (“Note”) from a real estate investment management firm on certain properties in Wyoming and Idaho for $2 million. In May 2012, the Company entered into a Loan Modification Agreement (“LMA”) with the Note’s original and present borrower (“Borrower”) to restructure the Note’s principal amount due and related terms. The LMA terms are for a principal balance due of $2 million with interest only payments made monthly in 2012. The LMA’s interest rate is the greater of 6% or prime and there is no prepayment penalty for voluntary principal payments. Concurrently, with the execution of the LMA, the Company and the Borrower also entered into a Security Agreement in which repayment of the LMA is secured by the Borrower’s Reliv distributorship business.

As originally structured, beginning in 2013, the LMA was to require monthly payment of principal and interest under a five-year amortization period. In February 2013, while retaining the Company’s right to require Borrower’s compliance with the LMA’s terms, the Company and the Borrower agreed to a verbal modification in the payment schedule in which the Company agreed to accept monthly payments of principal and interest under a fifteen-year amortization period. The outstanding balance of the note receivable was $1,921,046 and $2,000,000 as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

11. Income Taxes (continued)

The Company applied applicable accounting guidance relating to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. Reserves for uncertainty in income taxes are adjusted quarterly in light of changing facts and circumstances, such as the progress of tax audits, case law, and emerging legislation. The primary difference between gross unrecognized tax benefits and net unrecognized tax benefits is the U.S. federal tax benefit from state tax deductions. It is the Company’s practice to recognize interest and / or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.

At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had $91,000 and $56,000, respectively, of cumulative unrecognized tax benefits, of which only the net amount of $91,000 would impact the effective income tax rate if recognized.

The aggregate changes in the balance of gross unrecognized tax benefits were as follows:

Beginning balance as of January 1, 2012	$	51,000

Settlements and effective settlements with tax authorities		-
Lapse of statute of limitations		-
Increases in balances related to tax positions taken during prior periods		-
Decreases in balances related to tax positions taken during prior periods		(13,000)
Increases in balances related to tax positions taken during current period		18,000

Balance as of December 31, 2012	$	56,000

Settlements and effective settlements with tax authorities		-
Lapse of statute of limitations		(7,000)
Increases in balances related to tax positions taken during prior periods		40,000
Decreases in balances related to tax positions taken during prior periods		(11,000)
Increases in balances related to tax positions taken during current period		13,000

Balance as of December 31, 2013	$	91,000

The Company’s unrecognized tax benefits balance is included within other noncurrent liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.

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 2009 and concluded years through 2010 with its primary state jurisdiction.

One of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries is presently under local country audit for alleged deficiencies (totaling approximately $800,000 plus interest at 20% per annum) in value-added tax (VAT) and withholding tax for the years 2004 through 2006. The Company, in consultation with its legal counsel, believes that there are strong legal grounds that it should not be liable to pay the majority of the alleged tax deficiencies. As of December 31, 2010, management estimated and reserved approximately $185,000 for resolution of this matter and recorded this amount within Selling, General, and Administrative expense in the 2010 Consolidated Statement of Income. In 2011, the Company made good faith deposits to the local tax authority under the tax agency’s administrative judicial resolution process. As of December 31, 2013, management’s estimated reserve (net of deposits) for this matter is approximately $95,000.

12. Employee Benefit Plans

The Company sponsors a 401(k) employee savings plan which covers substantially all employees. Employees can contribute up to 15% of their gross income to the plan, and the Company matches a percentage of the employee’s contribution at a rate of 25%. Company contributions under the 401(k) plan totaled $144,600 and $145,000 in 2013 and 2012, respectively.

On September 1, 2006, the Company established an employee stock ownership plan ("ESOP") which covers substantially all U.S. employees. Contributions to the ESOP are funded by the Company on a discretionary basis. In 2013 and 2012, the Company’s contribution consisted of shares of common stock from treasury measured by the fair value of the stock on date of contribution. Company contributions under the ESOP plan totaled approximately $125,000 for each of the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

13. Incentive Compensation Plans

In May 2007, the Board of Directors approved the adoption of a new incentive compensation plan. This new plan was effective for fiscal year 2007 and replaced a previous plan. Under the plan, bonuses are payable quarterly in an amount not to exceed 18% of the Company’s Income from Operations for any period, subject to the Company achieving a minimum quarterly Income from Operations of at least $500,000. For fiscal years 2013 and 2012, the Board determined that the aggregate amount of incentive compensation available under the Plan shall be equal to 16% of the Company’s Income from Operations. The bonus pool is allocated to executives according to a specified formula, with a portion allocated to a middle management group determined by the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors.

The Company expensed a total of $286,000 and $305,000 to the participants of the bonus pool for 2013 and 2012, respectively.

13. Incentive Compensation Plans (continued)

In July 2010, the Company’s Reliv Europe subsidiary entered into a long-term performance-based incentive compensation agreement with the subsidiary’s senior managers. The valuation of the compensation agreement is an EBITDA-based formula derived from the subsidiary’s financial performance and vests in 20% annual increments which began in April 2011. The amount of the incentive, if any, varies in accordance with a 24-month look-back of the subsidiary’s financial performance and the vesting provisions. Upon initial vesting, a manager may elect to exercise his/her put option to receive in cash some or all of his/her respective share of the incentive. Beginning April 2015, the Company may exercise a call option on one or more of the manager’s incentive amount; redeeming such amount in cash or a combination of cash and the Company’s common stock, depending upon the amount of the vested incentive. In the fourth quarter of 2012, the subsidiary’s 24-month financial performance became positive, and remained positive throughout 2013, resulting in the recognition of compensation expense of $440,500 and $88,500 for 2013 and 2012, respectively, as presented within Selling, General, and Administrative in the accompanying consolidated statements of net income and comprehensive income. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, accrued compensation was $529,000 and $88,500, respectively, and was included in “Other Non-Current Liabilities” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

The Company sponsors a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP) to allow certain executives to defer a portion of their annual salary and bonus into a grantor trust. A grantor trust was established to hold the assets of the SERP. The Company funds the grantor trust by paying the amount deferred by the participant into the trust at the time of deferral. Investment earnings and losses accrue to the benefit or detriment of the participants. The SERP also provides for a discretionary matching contribution by the Company not to exceed 100% of the participant’s annual contribution. In 2013 and 2012, the Company did not provide a match. The participants fully vest in the deferred compensation three years from the date they enter the SERP. The participants are not eligible to receive distribution under the SERP until retirement, death, or disability of the participant. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, SERP assets were $278,000 and $206,000, respectively, and are included in “Other Assets” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, SERP liabilities were $287,000 and $211,000, respectively, and are included in “Other Non-Current Liabilities” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The changes in the balances of SERP assets and SERP liabilities during 2013 and 2012 were due to net realized and unrealized investment gains/losses incurred by the plan.
