NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(in thousands, except per share data)

(unaudited)

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited interim consolidated financial information of USANA Health Sciences, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company” or “USANA”) has been prepared in accordance with Article 10 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the accompanying interim consolidated financial information contains all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of September 27, 2003, and results of operations for the quarters and nine months ended September 28, 2002 and September 27, 2003. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2002. The results of operations for the quarter and nine months ended September 27, 2003 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending January 3, 2004.

On October 14, 2003, the Company declared a two-for-one stock split of its common stock that was distributed in the form of a stock dividend on October 30, 2003 to shareholders of record as of October 24, 2003. This stock dividend will double the number of shares outstanding but will not affect the number of authorized shares of the Company or the par value of the common stock. All existing stock option agreements provide that the number of shares of common stock and the respective exercise price covered by each outstanding option agreement be proportionately adjusted for a stock split or similar event. Outstanding common stock data in this report have been adjusted to reflect the stock split.

NOTE A – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company has applied the disclosure provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure — An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123,” for the quarters and nine months ended September 28, 2002 and September 27, 2003. Issued in December 2002, SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation. In addition, this Statement amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. As permitted by SFAS No. 148, the Company continues to account for stock options under APB Opinion No. 25, under which no compensation has been recognized. The following table illustrates the effects on net earnings and earnings per share as if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148, to stock-based compensation:

		Quarter Ended				Nine Months Ended
		September 28, 2002		September 27, 2003		September 28, 2002		September 27, 2003

Net earnings	As reported	$	2,343	$	6,056	$	5,198	$	13,980

	Pro forma	$	2,149	$	5,860	$	4,586	$	13,556

Earnings per share - basic	As reported	$	0.13	$	0.32	$	0.27	$	0.74

	Pro forma	$	0.12	$	0.31	$	0.24	$	0.72

Earnings per share - diluted	As reported	$	0.11	$	0.28	$	0.25	$	0.66

	Pro forma	$	0.10	$	0.27	$	0.22	$	0.64

Weighted average Black-Scholes fair value assumptions for options granted during the periods indicated:

	Quarter Ended						Nine Months Ended
	September 28, 2002			September 27, 2003			September 28, 2002			September 27, 2003
Expected volatility	77		%	77		%	71		%	77		%
Risk free interest rate	3.98		%	3.60		%	4.96		%	3.67		%
Expected life	10 yrs.			10 yrs.			10 yrs.			10 yrs.
Expected dividend yield	0		%	0		%	0		%	0		%
Weighted average fair value of options granted	$	6.40		$	28.77		$	1.81		$	25.04

Option pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Also, the Company’s employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, including long vesting schedules and changes in the subjective input assumptions that can materially affect the fair value estimate. Management believes the best assumptions available were used to value the options and that the resulting option values were reasonable as of the dates the options were granted.

NOTE B – ACQUISITIONS

Effective July 1, 2003, the Company acquired Wasatch Product Development, Inc. (WPD), a company specializing in the manufacture of skin and personal care products. The aggregate investment was $5,341 including $5,016 in cash, $125 for professional fees directly associated with the acquisition, and $200 in income tax liabilities of the selling shareholders prior to the sale. WPD will be operated as a subsidiary of USANA and will, to the extent possible, retain its existing business of contract manufacturing, as well as perform manufacturing and packaging of Sensé products for the Company. The Company expects to realize future benefits from this acquisition, in the form of reduced cost of sales and enhanced quality control for its Sensé product line.

The acquisition was accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations” and as such, the results of operations for WPD have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the effective date of acquisition. This acquisition contributed $656 in sales and operating income of $25 for the quarter ended September 27, 2003. The Company obtained an independent appraisal of the fair values of identified intangible assets and based on the results of the analysis, has concluded that the fair value is effectively nil. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at estimated fair values as of the date of the acquisition as determined by the Company’s management and are summarized below:

	At July 1, 2003
Assets acquired
Accounts receivable	$	335
Inventories	537
Property and equipment	978
Goodwill	4,260

Total assets acquired	6,110

Liabilities assumed
Accounts payable	707
Other liabilities	62

Total liabilities assumed	769

Net assets acquired	$	5,341

Goodwill has been recognized for the amount of the excess of the purchase price paid over the fair market value of the net assets acquired. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, Goodwill will not be amortized; however, it will be tested at least annually for impairment.

NOTE C – INVENTORIES

Inventories consist of the following:

	December 28, 2002		September 27, 2003
Raw materials	$	2,488	$	5,096

NOTE G – COMMON STOCK AND EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding for each period. Weighted average shares redeemed have been included in the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic earnings per share. Diluted earnings per common share are based on shares outstanding (computed under basic EPS) and potentially dilutive shares. Shares included in dilutive earnings per share calculations include stock options granted that are in the money but have not yet been exercised.

Options to purchase 632 shares of stock were not included in the computation of EPS for the quarter ended September 28, 2002 due to their exercise price being greater than the average market price of the shares. For the quarter ended September 27, 2003, all options to purchase shares of stock were included in the computation of EPS.

Earnings per common share - diluted	$	0.25	$	0.66

Options to purchase 2,634 shares of stock were not included in the computation of EPS for the nine months ended September 28, 2002 due to their exercise price being greater than the average market price of the shares. For the nine months ended September 27, 2003, all options to purchase shares of stock were included in the computation of EPS.

As of the fiscal year ended 2002, 790 shares of 4,000 authorized were available in the Company’s share repurchase plan. Through the nine months ended September 27, 2003, the Company expended $8.2 million to purchase an additional 472 shares under this plan. The purchase of shares under this plan reduces the number of shares issued and outstanding.

NOTE H – SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company’s operations are distinguished by type of products produced, markets served, and method of distribution employed and are classified into two reportable business segments: Direct Selling and Contract Manufacturing. These operating segments are evaluated regularly by management in determining the allocation of resources and in assessing the performance of the Company. Management evaluates performance based on net sales and the amount of operating income or loss.

Segment profit or loss is based on profit or loss from operations before income taxes. Interest income and expense, as well as income taxes, while significant, are not included in the Company’s determination of segment profit or loss in assessing the performance of a segment.

Direct Selling

The Direct Selling segment comprises the Company’s principal line of business: developing, manufacturing, and distributing nutritional, personal care, and weight management products. Products are distributed through a network marketing system using independent distributors referred to as “Associates”. Products are also sold directly to “Preferred Customers” who purchase products for personal use and are not permitted to resell or distribute the products. Sales to Associates and Preferred Customers are reported for six operating geographic regions including North America, Australia-New Zealand, Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea.

Contract Manufacturing

Operating activities for the Contract Manufacturing segment include the manufacture and sale of premium personal care products under the brand names of its customers. Operations are located in Draper, Utah and sales are made to a limited number of customers. We expect that manufacturing and packaging activities for the Company’s Sensé products will begin during the fourth quarter of 2003.

Sales made by the Contract Manufacturing segment to one customer accounted for 59% of segment revenues for the quarter ended September 27, 2003. No other individual customer accounted for 10% or more of segment net revenues.

Prior to the quarter ended September 27, 2003, the Company was only engaged in a single line of business, which was developing, manufacturing, and distributing nutritional, personal care, and weight management products through a network marketing system. As such, only one business segment was reported, which was distinguished by geography. Due to the Company’s recent acquisition (See Note B), the basis of segmentation has been modified to reflect the change in business activities to include the addition of Contract Manufacturing. This change does not affect the presentation of historical segment information.

The following table summarizes financial information by operating segment and geographic region for the quarters ended September 28, 2002 and September 27, 2003:

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

The following discussion and analysis of USANA’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto contained in this quarterly report.

General

USANA Health Sciences, Inc. develops and manufactures high-quality nutritional, personal care and weight management products. We market all of our products on the basis of high levels of bioavailability, safety, and quality. We distribute our products through a network marketing system using independent distributors that we refer to as “Associates.” As of September 27, 2003, we had approximately 87,000 active Associates in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, and the United Kingdom. We also sell products directly to “Preferred Customers” who purchase product for personal use and are not permitted to resell or distribute the products. As of September 27, 2003, we had approximately 49,000 active Preferred Customers worldwide. Sales to Preferred Customers accounted for approximately 15% of net sales for the Direct Selling segment during the nine months ended September 27, 2003. For purposes of this report, we only count as active customers those Associates and Preferred Customers who have purchased product from USANA at any time during the most recent three-month period.

As discussed more fully in Segment Information Note H, beginning on page 13 to the consolidated financial statements, we have two reportable segments: Direct Selling and Contract Manufacturing. The Direct Selling segment constitutes our principal line of business: developing, manufacturing, and distributing nutritional, personal care, and weight management products through a network marketing system. The Contract Manufacturing segment includes the manufacture and sale of premium personal care products, produced under the brand names of its customers, including sales to the Company for manufacturing and packaging its Sensé product line.

Our primary product lines within the Direct Selling segment consist of USANA^â Nutritionals and Sensé – beautiful science^â(Sensé). The USANA^â Nutritionals product line is further categorized into three separate classifications: Essentials, Optimizers, and Macro Optimizers. Various individual items within these primary product lines are also grouped and sold as combination packs.

USANA^â Nutritionals.

The Essentials include core vitamin and mineral supplements that provide a foundation of advanced nutrition for every age group. To help meet the “essential” nutrient needs of children and teens during the years of development, when good nutrition is most important, USANA offers: UsanimalsÔ, a great-tasting formulation of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, in an easy-to-take chewable tablet for children 13 months to 12 years old and Body RoxÔ, a nutritional supplement containing 31 essential vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and cofactors for adolescents 12 to 18 years old, who need optimal nutrition to support the demands of growth and active teenage lifestyles. USANA^â Essentials for adults is a combination of two products: Mega Antioxidant, a balanced, high-potency blend of 30 vitamins, antioxidants, and other important nutrients to support cellular metabolism and to counteract free-radical damage and Chelated Mineral, a complete spectrum of essential minerals, in balanced, highly bioavailable forms. The USANA^â Essentials are also provided in a convenient pillow pack format, HealthPak 100Ô.

Optimizers are more targeted supplements designed to meet individual health and nutritional needs. Products in this category include Proflavanol^â,Poly C^â, Procosa^âII, CoQuinone^â 30, BiOmega-3Ô, E-PrimeÔ, Active CalciumÔ, PhytoEstrinÔ, Palmetto PlusÔ, Ginkgo-PSÔ, Garlic ECÔ, VisionexÔ, and OptOmega^â.

The Macro Optimizers include healthy convenience foods and other related products, including powdered drink mixes and nutrition bars that were previously sold under the L·E·A·N LifelongÔ brand name. NutrimealÔ and Fibergy^â drink mixes, SoyaMaxÔ, and Nutrition Bar and Fibergy Bar are included in this product category.

Sensé - beautiful science^â

The Sensé product line includes premium, science-based personal care products that support healthy skin and hair by providing advanced topical nourishment, moisturization and protection. Products in this line include Perfecting Essence, Gentle Daily Cleanser, Hydrating Toner, Daytime Protective Emulsion SPF 15, Eye Nourisher, Night Renewal (Replenishing Crème), Serum Intensive (Skin Revival Complex), Rice Bran Polisher, Nutritious Crème Masque, Revitalizing Shampoo, Nourishing Conditioner, Firming Body Nourisher, and Energizing Shower Gel.

In addition to these principal product lines, we have developed and sell to Associates materials and online tools designed to assist them in building their business and selling products. These resource materials or sales aids include product brochures and business forms designed by us and printed by outside publishers. We periodically contract with authors and publishers to produce or provide books, tapes, and other items dealing with health topics and personal motivation, which are made available to Associates. We also write and develop our own materials for audio and videotapes, which are produced by third parties. New Associates are required to purchase a starter kit containing USANA training materials that assist the Associates in starting and growing their business. Associates do not earn commissions on the sale of sales aids or starter kits.

The following table summarizes the approximate percentage of total product revenue for the Direct Selling segment contributed by major product line for the nine months ended as of the dates indicated:

Results of Operations

Quarters Ended September 28, 2002 and September 27, 2003

Net Sales. Net sales increased 50.9% to $52.5 million for the quarter ended September 27, 2003, an increase of $17.7 million from the $34.8 million reported for the comparable quarter in 2002. The increase was comprised of $17.0 million associated with our Direct Selling segment and $0.7 million associated with our newly acquired Contract Manufacturing segment.

The following table summarizes the growth in net sales by segment and geographic region for the fiscal quarters ended September 28, 2002 and September 27, 2003. Direct Selling sales data for the United States region includes products shipped directly from the U.S. headquarters to customers in the United Kingdom and Japan.

The increase in net sales contributed by the Direct Selling segment can be primarily attributed to the following factors:

• A 15.9% increase in the active Associate base and a 14.0% increase in the active Preferred Customer base for the third quarter of 2003 in markets that have been open longer than one year,

• Sales of $3.5 million from our Taiwan market that commenced operations in the fourth quarter of 2002 and sales of $2.1 million from our South Korea market that commenced operations in the third quarter of 2003, and

• Stronger foreign currencies, relative to the U. S. dollar, which positively affected the translation of sales in foreign currencies by $2.7 million.

Additionally, two other items contributed to the year-over-year third quarter increase in sales including a price increase on two key products, USANA^â Essentials and HealthPak 100Ô in North America and incremental product sales from our Annual International Convention held in the third quarter.

We expect net sales of approximately $57 million for the 14-week fourth quarter ended January 3, 2004. A typical quarter for the Company consists of 13 weeks.

The following tables summarize the growth (decline) in active customers for the Direct Selling segment by geographic region as of the dates indicated:

Active Associates By Region

Region	As of September 28, 2002			As of September 27, 2003			Change from Prior Year		Percent Change
United States	28,000	44.4	%	33,000	37.9	%	5,000		17.9	%

Total	63,000	100.0	%	87,000	100.0	%	24,000		38.1	%

We believe that various factors contributed to the year-over-year third quarter increase in the active Associate base, including general enthusiasm created by international expansion, ongoing communication with Associate leaders in the field, improved infrastructure to enhance the Associate service level, and company-sponsored events and promotions held to motivate Associates.

Gross Profit. Consolidated gross profit improved to 78.4% of net sales for the quarter ended September 27, 2003 from 75.8% for the comparable quarter in 2002. Direct Selling’s gross profit improved to 79.0% of net sales for the segment from 75.8% for the comparable quarter in 2002. Gross profit for the Contract Manufacturing segment was 26.1% of net segment sales for the quarter ended September 27, 2003.

The increase in gross profit for the Direct Selling segment can be attributed primarily to:

• Improved cost efficiencies generated from procurement and production activities,

• A change in pricing strategy to create greater incentives for our Associates that generally contributes to a higher gross profit margin, and

• Leverage benefits of variable costs on a rising sales base.

For the fourth quarter of 2003, we believe that the consolidated gross profit margin will approximate the level achieved during the third quarter of 2003.

Associate Incentives. Expenses related to Associate incentives are incurred only by the Direct Selling segment and represent the most significant cost as a percent of net sales for this segment. Associate incentives increased to 39.2% of net segment sales for the quarter ended September 27, 2003 compared to 38.6% for the comparable quarter in 2002. This increase can be attributed to:

• A change in pricing strategy to create greater incentives for our Associates,

• An increase in the commission payout rate in the Australia-New Zealand market with no corresponding increase in the price at which we sell our products, and

• The elimination of payment processing fees charged to customers in our North America and Australia-New Zealand markets.

The increase in Associate Incentive expense was partially offset by an increase in product sales generated from the sale of non-commissionable products such as sales aids and logo merchandise at our Annual International Convention held in the third quarter of 2003.

We believe that Associate incentives will be approximately 40% of consolidated net sales for the fourth quarter 2003, as a result of additional spending for special Associate promotions and incentives during the fourth quarter of 2003.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expense decreased to 22.7% of net sales for the quarter ended September 27, 2003 from 26.2% for the comparable quarter in 2002. The decrease, as a percentage of net sales, can be primarily attributed to increased sales.

In absolute terms, selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $2.8 million for the quarter ended September 27, 2003, the majority of which can be attributed to the Direct Selling segment. The Contract Manufacturing segment added $146,000 to the absolute dollar increase in selling, general and administrative expenses.

The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses contributed by the Direct Selling segment can be primarily attributed to the following factors:

• Spending in our new South Korea market,

• Variable costs associated with the rising sales base,

• Increased spending on Associate related promotions, employee and management performance incentives, and insurance costs, and

• Higher translated U.S. dollars of foreign currency expenses, totaling approximately $220,000, as a result of a weaker U.S. dollar.

Although we believe that selling, general and administrative expenses will continue to increase in absolute terms, we are also anticipating improvements as a percentage of net sales, in the fourth quarter of 2003 as we continue to leverage our growing sales base.

Other Income (Expense). Other income (expense) changed from other expense of $141,000 in the third quarter of 2002 to other income of $525,000 in the third quarter of 2003. This increase in net other income of $666,000 can be primarily attributed to

foreign currency gains on outstanding intercompany balances, resulting from the continued weakening of the U.S. dollar. Additionally, lower interest expense contributed to the improvement in net other income.

Income Taxes. Income taxes totaled 32.9% of earnings before income taxes for the third quarter of 2003, compared to 31.7% during the same period in 2002. The effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2003 was based on an estimate of a 35.3% effective tax rate for the year, which was adjusted down from the prior estimate of 37.0% at the end of second quarter 2003. The change in the estimated year-end effective tax rate was primarily due to the implementation of strategies that will allow us to take advantage of losses in our Japan subsidiary and the availability of higher foreign tax credits than previously anticipated.

Various assumptions are used in estimating the 35.3% effective tax rate for the year. These assumptions include an estimate of the number of stock options expected to be exercised during the year and the average market price at which those options will be exercised, which also affect our assumption of the foreign tax credits that we can utilize. The actual number of stock options exercised, average market price, and the amount of foreign tax credits we are able to utilize could differ from our estimates and may cause the year end effective tax rate to vary, perhaps materially, from our estimate.

Net Earnings. Net earnings increased 158.5% to $6.1 million for the quarter ended September 27, 2003, an increase of $3.7 million from the $2.3 million reported for the comparable quarter in 2002. The increase in net earnings can be attributed primarily to the following:

• Increased net sales,

• Significant improvements in our gross profit margin, and

• Improved operating margins achieved primarily from leverage benefits on a rising sales base.

Diluted earnings per share improved to $0.28 for the third quarter of 2003, an increase of $0.17, or 154.5%, from the $0.11 reported for the comparable quarter in 2002.

Nine Months Ended September 28, 2002 and September 27, 2003

Net Sales. Net sales increased 47.2% to $140.5 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2003, an increase of $45.0 million from the $95.5 million reported for the comparable period in 2002. The increase primarily consisted of $44.4 million attributable to Direct Selling. The Contract Manufacturing segment acquired at the beginning of the third quarter also contributed $0.7 million to the increase.

The following table summarizes the growth in net sales by segment and geographic region for the nine months ended September 28, 2002 and September 27, 2003. Direct Selling sales data for the United States region includes products shipped directly from the U.S. headquarters to customers in the United Kingdom and Japan.

Consolidated	$	95,477	100.0	%	$	140,527	100.0	%	$	45,050	47.2	%

The increase in net sales contributed by the Direct Selling segment can be primarily attributed to the following factors:

• An increase in the active customer base in markets open longer than one year,

• Sales of $9.6 million from our Taiwan market that commenced operations in the fourth quarter of 2002 and sales of $2.1 million from our South Korea market that commenced operations in the third quarter of 2003, and

• Stronger foreign currencies, relative to the U. S. dollar, which positively affected the translation of sales in foreign currencies by $6.5 million.

Additionally, two other items contributed to the year-over-year nine month increase in sales including a price increase on two key products, USANA^â Essentials and HealthPak 100Ô in North America and incremental product sales from our Annual International Convention held in the third quarter.

Gross Profit. Consolidated gross profit improved to 77.9% of net sales for the nine months ended September 27, 2003 from 74.3% for the comparable period in 2002. Direct Selling’s gross profit increased to 78.2% of net sales for the segment from 74.3% for the comparable period in 2002. Gross profit for the newly acquired Contract Manufacturing segment was 26.1% for the nine months ended September 27, 2003.

Primary reasons for improved gross profit margins for the Direct Selling segment are the same as those for the third quarter of 2003 and are discussed on page 19 in the quarterly “Results of Operations” section.

Associate Incentives. Expenses related to Associate incentives are incurred only by the Direct Selling segment and represent the most significant cost as a percent of net sales for the segment. Associate incentives increased to 39.2% of net segment sales for the nine months ended September 27, 2003 compared to 38.1% for the comparable period in 2002. Reasons for the increase are the same as those for the third quarter of 2003 and are discussed on page 20 in the quarterly “Results of Operations” section.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expense decreased to 22.8% of net sales for the nine months ended September 27, 2003 from 26.9% for the comparable period in 2002. The decrease, as a percentage of net sales, can be primarily attributed to increased sales.

In absolute terms, selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $6.4 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2003, the majority of which can be attributed to the Direct Selling segment. The new acquisition of the Contract Manufacturing segment added $146,000 to the absolute dollar increase in selling, general and administrative expenses.

The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses contributed by the Direct Selling segment can be primarily attributed to the following factors:

• Variable costs associated with the rising sales base,

• Increased spending for our new markets of Taiwan and South Korea of approximately $731,000 and $1.3 million, respectively,

• Increased spending on Associate related promotions, employee and management performance incentives, and insurance costs, and

• Higher translated U.S. dollars of foreign currency expenses, totaling approximately $700,000, as a result of a weaker U.S. dollar.

Selling, general and administrative expense in the nine-month period of 2002 included one-time costs totaling $0.4 million associated with the proposed sale of assets transaction, which was abandoned by the Company.

Other Income (Expense). Other income (expense) changed from other expense of $203,000 for the first nine months of 2002 to other income of $331,000 for the comparable period in 2003. This increase in net other income of $534,000 can be primarily attributed to foreign currency gains on outstanding intercompany balances, resulting from the continued weakening of the U.S. dollar. Additionally, lower interest expense contributed to the improvement in net other income.

Net Earnings. Net earnings increased 168.9% to $14.0 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2003, an increase of $8.8 million from the $5.2 million reported for the comparable period in 2002. The increase in net earnings can primarily be attributed to the following:

• Increased net sales,

• Significant improvements in our gross profit margin, and

• Improved operating margins achieved primarily from leverage benefits on a rising sales base.

Diluted earnings per share improved to $0.66 for the first nine months of 2003, an increase of $0.41, or 164.0%, from the $0.25 reported for the comparable period in 2002.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have historically financed growth with cash flows from operations. In the first nine months of 2003, net cash flows from operating activities totaled $25.7 million, compared to $11.9 million for the same period in 2002. Cash and cash equivalents increased to $10.3 million at September 27, 2003 from $6.7 million at December 28, 2002.

On September 27, 2003, we had net working capital of $6.4 million, compared to net working capital of $1.2 million at December 28, 2002. The improvement in net working capital was primarily the result of higher sales and improved operating margins.

As of September 27, 2003, our credit facilities consisted of a $10 million line of credit, with no amounts outstanding. The credit facilities contain restrictive covenants requiring that we maintain certain financial ratios. As of September 27, 2003, we were in compliance with these covenants.

Net cash used in investing activities increased from $1.3 million to $8.3 million for the first nine months of 2003. The increase primarily consisted of $5.3 million associated with our recent acquisition of Wasatch Product Development, Inc. and $2.9 million related to purchases of property plant and equipment.

We believe that current cash balances, cash provided by operations, and amounts available under the line of credit will be sufficient to cover our capital needs in the ordinary course of business for the foreseeable future. If we experience an adverse

operating environment or unusual capital expenditure requirements, additional financing may be required. However, no assurance can be given that additional financing, if required, would be available on favorable terms. We might also require or seek additional financing for the purpose of expanding new markets, growing our existing markets, and for other reasons. Such financing may include the sale of additional equity securities. Any financing which involves the sale of equity securities or instruments convertible into equity securities could result in immediate and possibly significant dilution to existing shareholders.

Recent Developments

On October 14, 2003, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a two-for-one split of common stock in the form of a stock dividend that was distributed on October 30, 2003, to shareholders of record as of October 24, 2003. See Item 5 “Other Information.”

Forward-Looking Statements

The statements contained in this report that are not purely historical are considered to be “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act. These statements represent our expectations, hopes, beliefs, anticipations, commitments, intentions and strategies regarding the future. They may be identified by the use of words or phrases such as “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “should,” “plans,” “estimates,” and “potential,” among others. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements contained in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations regarding our financial performance, revenue and expense levels in the future and the sufficiency of our existing assets to fund future operations and capital spending needs. Readers are cautioned that actual results could differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in these forward-looking statements for the reasons detailed in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K at pages 28 through 33. The fact that some of the risk factors may be the same or similar to our past reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission means only that the risks are present in multiple periods. We believe that many of the risks detailed here and in the Company’s other SEC filings are part of doing business in the industry in which we operate and compete and will likely be present in all periods reported. The fact that certain risks are endemic to the industry does not lessen their significance. The forward-looking statements contained in this report are made as of the date of this report and we assume no obligation to update them or to update the reasons why actual results could differ from those projected in such forward-looking statements. Among others, risks and uncertainties that may affect our business, financial condition, performance, development and results of operations include:

• Our ability to attract and maintain a sufficient number of Associates,

• High turnover of Associates,

• Our reliance on information technology,

• Our dependence upon a network marketing system to distribute our products,

• The fluctuation in the value of foreign currencies against the US dollar,

• Activities of our independent Associates,

• Rigorous government scrutiny of network marketing practices,

• Potential effects of adverse publicity regarding nutritional supplements or the network marketing industry,

• Reliance on key management personnel, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors, Myron W. Wentz, Ph.D.,

• Extensive government regulation of the Company’s products and manufacturing,

• Risks related to our expansion into international markets,

• Potential inability to sustain or manage growth, including the failure to continue to develop new products,

• The adverse effect of the loss of a high-level sponsoring Associate together with a group of leading Associates in that person’s downline,

• The loss of product market share or Associates to competitors,

• Potential adverse effects of taxation and transfer pricing regulations,

• Our reliance on outside suppliers for raw materials,

• Intellectual property risks particularly applicable to our business, and

• Product liability claims and other manufacturing activity risks.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We conduct our business in several countries and intend to continue to expand our foreign operations. During the first nine months of fiscal year 2003, approximately 53% of our net sales were provided from sales to markets outside the United States. Net sales, earnings from operations and net earnings are affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates, interest rates and other uncertainties inherent in doing business and selling product in more than one currency. In addition, our operations are exposed to risks associated with changes in social, political and economic conditions inherent in foreign operations, including changes in the laws and policies that govern foreign investment in countries where it has operations as well as, to a lesser extent, changes in United States laws and regulations relating to foreign trade and investment.

Foreign Currency Risks. Sales outside the United States represented 46.2% and 53.1% of net sales for the nine months ended September 28, 2002 and September 27, 2003, respectively. Inventory purchases are transacted primarily in U.S. dollars from vendors located in the United States. The local currency of each international subsidiary is considered the functional currency, with all revenue and expenses translated at weighted average exchange rates for reported periods. Consequently, our reported sales and earnings are affected positively by a weakening of the U.S. dollar and negatively by a strengthening of the U.S. dollar. Changes in currency exchange rates affect the relative prices at which we sell our products. Given the uncertainty of exchange rate fluctuations, we cannot estimate the effect of these fluctuations on our future business, product pricing, results of operations, or financial condition.

We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We regularly monitor our foreign currency risks and may periodically take measures to reduce the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations on our operating results. As of September 27, 2003 and during the nine months then ended, we had no hedging instruments in place to offset exposure to the Canadian Dollar, Australian Dollar, New Zealand Dollar, Hong Kong Dollar, Japanese Yen, British Pound, Euro, New Taiwan Dollar, or Korean Won, to which, in aggregate, we had significant exposure.

As a last recourse for hedging currency risk, we may elect to adjust prices in non-U.S. markets to reflect changes in foreign currency exchange rates. However, there can be no assurance that these practices will be successful in eliminating all or substantially all of the risks encountered in connection with our foreign currency transactions.

Following are the average exchange rates of foreign currency units to one U.S. dollar for each of our foreign markets for the periods ended as of the dates indicated:

	Quarter Ended		Nine Months Ended
	September 28, 2002	September 27, 2003	September 28, 2002	September 27, 2003

Canadian Dollar	1.56	1.38	1.57	1.43
Australian Dollar	1.83	1.52	1.86	1.59
New Zealand Dollar	2.12	1.71	2.21	1.76
Hong Kong Dollar	7.80	7.80	7.80	7.80
Japanese Yen	119.25	117.65	126.19	118.36
New Taiwan Dollar	**	34.25	**	34.51
Korean Won *	**	1,178.00	**	1,178.00

* The nine-month 2003 Korean Won exchange rate represents the average for the first three months of South Korea operations that commenced in the third quarter of 2003.

** Market was not in operation during period indicated.

Interest Rate Risks. As of September 27, 2003, we had no outstanding debt and therefore, we currently have no direct exposure to interest rate risk. It may become necessary to borrow in the future in order to meet our financing needs, as circumstances require. In the event that it becomes necessary to finance with debt, there can be no assurance that we will be able to borrow at favorable rates.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Based on their evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) are effective. There have been no significant changes in internal controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
