EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

On August 9, 2007, the Company filed its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 (the “Original Report”). The financial statements included in the Original Report had not been reviewed by an independent registered public accounting firm and therefore did not comply with the requirements of Rule 10-01(d) of Regulation S-X. For that reason, certifications by the Company’s Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers were omitted from the Original Report.

 

The Company is filing this Amendment No. 1 to the Original Report (“Amendment No. 1”) to include financial statements as of June 30, 2007 that comply with the requirements of Rule 10-01(d) of Regulation S-X.

 

Accordingly, this Amendment No. 1 also includes as exhibits, currently dated certifications of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as required by Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002.

 

In addition, certain disclosures related to Note B – Assets Held for Sale, Note F – Goodwill, Note H – Long Term Debt and Line of Credit, Note K – Segment Information, Note M – Subsequent Events, the introductory information under the heading “General” and the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section of Part I, Item 2. Management’s Discussion & Analysis, and the final paragraph of Part II, Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders have been clarified in this Amendment No. 1.

 

Except for the amendments identified above, no other items in our Original Report are amended hereby. In accordance with Rule 12b-15 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, the complete text of those items in which amended language appears is set forth herein, including those portions of the text that have not been amended from that set forth in the Original Report. Except for the amendments identified above, this Form 10-Q/A does not materially modify or update other disclosures in the Original Report, particularly Item 1 “Legal Proceedings,” Item 1A “Risk Factors,” Item 2 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds, and Item 4 “Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders,” to reflect events occurring after August 9, 2007, the filing date of the Original Report. Accordingly this Form 10-Q/A should be read in conjunction with our other filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission subsequent to August 9, 2007.

USANA HEALTH SCIENCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

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 its subsidiaries (collectively, 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 June 30, 2007, and results of operations for the quarters and six months ended July 1, 2006 and June 30, 2007. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto that are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2006. The results of operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 29, 2007.

 

Reclassification

 

Revisions relating to net sales and Associate incentives expense have been made to the Company’s financial statements in order to comply with EITF 01-09. Under these guidelines, certain incentives that are offered to our Associates are classified as sales discounts, resulting in a reduction of revenue, with a corresponding reduction to Associate incentives. Net sales and Associate incentives expense numbers reflected throughout this document, for periods prior to December 31, 2006, have been revised accordingly. The impact of these revisions reduced previously reported net sales for the quarter ended July 1, 2006 by 1.6%. These revisions had no effect on our earnings from operations, net earnings, or earnings per share.

 

Additionally, the presentation for the line of credit in the June 30, 2007 Unaudited Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows has been revised to individually present borrowing and payment activity on the line of credit, rather than summarize the activity on a net basis as previously reported.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.”  SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with earlier application encouraged. Any amounts recognized upon adoption as a cumulative effect adjustment will be recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings in the year of adoption. The Company has not yet determined the impact of adopting SFAS No. 157 on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

On February 15, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS Statement No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.”  SFAS No. 159 permits an entity to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. An entity will report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The fair value option: (a) may be applied instrument by instrument, with a few exceptions, such as investments otherwise accounted for by the equity method; (b) is irrevocable (unless a new election date occurs); and (c) is applied only to entire instruments and not to portions of instruments. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years that begin after November 15, 2007. The Company has not yet determined the impact of adopting SFAS No. 159 on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

On June 27, 2007, the FASB ratified the EITF consensus on EITF 07-3, “Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services to Be Used in Future Research and Development Activities”, which calls for nonrefundable advance payments for goods or services to be used in future research and development activities to be deferred and capitalized until such time as the related goods are delivered or related services are performed, at which point the amounts are to be recognized as

an expense.  EITF 07-3 is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2007.  The Company has evaluated its research and development contracts in regard to this new pronouncement and has determined that the effect of this consensus will not have a material impact on its financial statements.

 

NOTE A – EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION

 

Equity-based compensation expense relating to awards vested under the current and previous plans utilized by the Company, and the related tax benefit recognized in earnings for the quarters and six months ended July 1, 2006, and June 30, 2007, are as follows:

During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company granted equity awards under the Company’s 2006 Equity Incentive Award Plan (the “2006 Plan”), which was approved by the shareholders in April 2006. The 2006 Plan allows for the grant of various equity awards, including stock-settled stock appreciation rights, stock options, deferred stock units, and other types of equity-based awards to the Company’s officers, key employees, and non-employee directors. The 2006 Plan authorized 5,000 shares of common stock for issuance; as of June 30, 2007, 4,202 of these shares were available for future issuance.

 

The Company’s Compensation Committee has determined that awards to be granted to officers and key employees under the 2006 Plan will generally vest 20% each year on the anniversary of the grant date and will generally expire five to five and one-half years from the date of grant. Awards of stock options and stock-settled stock appreciation rights to be granted to non-employee directors will generally vest 25% each quarter, commencing on the last day of the fiscal quarter in which the awards are granted, and will generally expire five years to five and one-half years from the date of grant. Awards of deferred stock units are full-value shares at the date of grant, vesting over the periods of service, and do not have expiration dates. The exercise price of all awards granted under the 2006 Plan during 2006 was established by averaging the closing price of the Company’s common stock over the five trading days preceding the date of grant. The exercise price of all awards granted under the 2006 Plan subsequent to December 30, 2006 is the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.

 

10



 

Prior to the approval of the 2006 Plan, the Company maintained the 2002 Stock Option Plan (the “2002 Plan”), which was limited to the granting of incentive and non-qualified stock options. Options granted under the 2002 Plan generally vest 20% each year on the anniversary of the grant date and expire five to ten years from the date of grant. The exercise price of all awards granted under the 2002 Plan was established by averaging the closing price of the Company’s common stock over the five trading days preceding the date of grant. The 2006 Plan replaced the 2002 Plan for all grants that were awarded subsequent to the approval of the 2006 Plan.

 

During 2006 and the first six months of 2007, the Company continued to use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate fair value of equity awards, which requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility. Expected volatility is calculated by averaging the historical volatility of the Company and a peer group index. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve on the date of grant with respect to the expected life of the award. Due to the “plain vanilla” characteristics of the Company’s equity awards, the “simplified method,” as permitted by the guidance in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, has been used to determine expected life.

 

Weighted-average assumptions used to calculate the fair value of awards that have been granted during the quarters ended as of the dates indicated are included in the table below. Deferred stock units are full-value shares at the date of grant and have been excluded.

NOTE B – ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

 

Consistent with our long-term objectives of focusing on our direct selling business, on June 5, 2007, the Company adopted a plan to discontinue the operations of its third-party contract manufacturing business at its Draper, Utah facility. Accordingly, the Company signed a Letter of Intent to sell certain assets, accounts receivable, and inventory associated with our third-party contract manufacturing segment. The buyer agreed to purchase the assets for $3,260 to be adjusted for changes in inventory levels and accounts receivable as of the closing date of the sale. The carrying amount of current assets held for sale was determined to exceed the agreed upon sales price, and as a result an impairment loss of $25 has been incurred and the assets have been adjusted to fair value less cost to sell in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”. Any changes to inventory levels or accounts receivable and the corresponding change to impairment loss will be recognized during the third quarter of 2007. The sale of this business was completed on August 10, 2007. The Company will retain assets that are associated with manufacturing and packaging our Sensé skin and beauty care products and will continue to manufacture these products at our Draper, Utah facility. The results of the Contract Manufacturing operations have been classified as discontinued for all periods presented.

 

The following table shows revenues and pre-tax loss from discontinued operations for the three months ended July 1, 2006 and June 30, 2007, respectively.

NOTE F – GOODWILL

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price paid for acquired entities over the fair market value of the net assets acquired. As of June 30, 2007, goodwill totaled $5,690, comprising $4,267 that was associated with the July 1, 2003 acquisition of Wasatch Product Development, Inc. (WPD) and $1,423 that was associated with the February 1, 2004 acquisition of FMG Productions (FMG). No events have occurred subsequent to either acquisition that resulted in an impairment of the original goodwill amounts that were initially recorded from these transactions. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” goodwill must be tested at least annually and, if the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss must be recognized in an amount equal to that excess.

NOTE H – LONG TERM DEBT AND LINE OF CREDIT

 

In June 2004, the Company entered into an agreement with a financial institution to provide a $10,000, two-year, revolving line of credit. The term of this agreement extended through May 30, 2006, however an amendment to this agreement was entered into on May 17, 2006. The amendment increased the Company’s line of credit to $25,000, extended its termination to May 30, 2011, and modified certain restrictive covenants in the agreement. On April 24, 2007, a subsequent amendment was entered into to increase the Company’s line of credit to $40,000 and to modify certain restrictive covenants in the agreement.

 

As of June 30, 2007, there was an outstanding balance of $34,515 that was associated with the above line of credit, with a weighted-average interest rate of 6.4%. The Company, therefore, had $5,485 available under the line of credit as of that date. The interest rate under this line of credit is computed at the bank’s Prime Rate or LIBOR, adjusted by features specified in the agreement. The Company may choose to borrow at the bank’s publicly announced Prime Rate, including a margin adjustment per annum, as specified in the agreement, or, at the option of the Company, loans within the approved commitment may be available in minimum amounts of $100 or more for specific periods, ranging from one to six months at LIBOR, including a margin adjustment as specified in the agreement.

 

The credit agreement contains restrictive covenants that are based on EBITDA and a specified debt coverage ratio. As of June 30, 2007, the Company was in compliance with these covenants. The collateral for this line of credit is the pledge of the capital stock of certain subsidiaries of the Company, as set forth in a separate pledge agreement with the bank. In addition to the covenants specified in the credit agreement, the pledge agreement contains certain covenants, including a covenant that the Company maintain compliance with the securities laws by filing all reports and other information required to be filed with the SEC. As of June 30, 2007, the Company was in compliance with the covenants in the pledge agreement. Subsequent to June 30, 2007 and prior to the filing of the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, the Company’s auditor resigned.  On August 9, 2007, the Company filed its Form 10-Q without meeting the requirements of Rule 10-01(d) of Regulation S-X.  As a result, the Company may be deemed to be non-compliant with the covenant in the pledge agreement described above.

 

In addition, the credit agreement contains a subjective acceleration clause whereas if the Company were to incur a material adverse event the bank may declare any unpaid amounts outstanding on the line of credit to be immediately due and payable.  In accordance with FASB Technical Bulletin 79-3, the Company has classified the outstanding balance on the line of credit as a short term liability on the June 30, 2007 Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets due to the inability of the Company to determine the likelihood that the bank might deem the auditor resignation or the circumstances surrounding the resignation of the auditor to be a material adverse event under the terms of the credit agreement and exercise its right to accelerate payment of amounts due under the credit agreement.

 

NOTE I – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Litigation

 

In the normal course of business, the Company is party to various legal claims, actions, and complaints. During 2007, four class action complaints were filed against the Company and certain of its executive officers, alleging that the defendants violated federal securities laws by making certain alleged false and misleading statements. The Company believes that these claims are without merit and plans to vigorously defend against these claims. The potential loss or range of loss that could arise from these complaints is not estimable at this time.

NOTE J – COMMON STOCK AND EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

Basic earnings per share are based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for each period. Shares that have been repurchased and retired during the specified periods have been included in the calculation of weighted-average shares that are outstanding for the basic earnings per share calculation. Diluted earnings per share are based on shares outstanding (computed under basic EPS) and potentially dilutive shares. Shares included in the diluted earnings per share calculations include equity awards that are in the money but that have not yet been exercised.

Equity awards for 319 and 42 shares of stock were not included in the computation of EPS for the six months ended July 1, 2006 and June 30, 2007, respectively, due to their exercise prices being greater than the average market price of the shares during those periods.

 

During the six months ended July 1, 2006, and June 30, 2007, the Company expended $30,146 and $72,998 to purchase 801 and 1,712 shares, respectively, under the Company’s share repurchase plan. The purchase of shares under this plan reduces the number of shares issued and outstanding in the above calculations.

NOTE K – SEGMENT INFORMATION

 

USANA is a direct selling company that develops, manufactures, and distributes high-quality nutritional and personal care products that are sold through a global network marketing system of independent Associates. Prior to the second quarter of 2007, the Company’s operations were reported as two business segments: Direct Selling and Contract Manufacturing. However, due to the planned sale of assets related to the third-party contract manufacturing business, the Company now operates as one reportable business segment, Direct Selling. The third-party Contract Manufacturing business has been reflected as a discontinued operation in the financial statements for all periods presented (see Note B – Assets Held for Sale).

 

In the table below, selected financial information is further presented in two geographic regions: North America and Asia Pacific. North America includes the United States, Canada, and Mexico. All other entities outside of North America are located within the Asia Pacific region, which includes Australia/New Zealand, Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, Singapore, and Malaysia. Profit or loss is based on profit or loss from continuing operations before income taxes.  All intercompany transactions, intercompany profit, currency gains and losses, interest income and expense, and income taxes are excluded in the Company’s presentation of profit or loss. The profitability of each geographic region presented is representative of what is controllable within that region by local management and is not necessarily indicative of the actual profit or loss that is generated by a fully burdened region.

Due to the centralized structure of our manufacturing operations and our corporate headquarters in the United States, a significant concentration of assets exist in this market.  Long-lived assets in the United States as of July 1, 2006 and June 30, 2007 totaled $18,090 and $39,023, respectively.  As a result of the purchase of a facility in Australia during first quarter 2007, long-lived assets in the Australia/New Zealand market totaling $7,009 comprised greater than 5% of the Company’s long-lived assets as of June 30, 2007. Outside of these two markets, there is no significant concentration of long-lived assets.

 

NOTE L – INCOME TAXES

 

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and in various states and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2002. One notable exception is in Canada where the applicable federal statute of limitations is open back to 1998.

 

The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, on December 31, 2006. The implementation of FIN 48 did not result in a material change to the liability for unrecognized tax benefits. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

Settlements/lapse of statute

 

(9

)

Balance at June 30, 2007

 

$

1,647

 

 

The Company anticipates that it is reasonably possible that unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, of up to $439 could be recognized within the next twelve months due to the lapse of applicable statute of limitations. Recognition of these uncertain tax positions or any uncertain tax position included in the June 30, 2007 balance will result in an adjustment to the Company’s effective tax rate. The Company has determined that all material, temporary differences can be fully recognized for FIN 48 purposes.

 

The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in income taxes. In the first six months of 2007, the Company recognized $64 in interest and penalties, compared to $36 in the first six months of 2006. The Company has accrued $160 and $384 for the payment of interest and penalties at the end of the first six months of 2006 and 2007, respectively.

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 that are contained in this quarterly report, as well as Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations that are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2006, and our other filings, including Current Reports on Form 8-K that have been filed with the SEC through the date of this report.

 

Presentation

 

The selected consolidated financial data set forth in this report includes revisions that result in a reduction to both net sales and Associate incentives for the quarter and six months ended July 1, 2006, but does not impact earnings from operations, net earnings, or earnings per share. These revisions are discussed further under the title “Reclassification” in the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements that are contained in this report.

 

Additionally, the presentation for the line of credit in the June 30, 2007 Unaudited Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows has been revised to individually present borrowing and payment activity on the line of credit, rather than summarize the activity on a net basis as previously reported.

 

General

 

USANA Health Sciences, Inc. develops and manufactures high-quality nutritional and personal care products. We market 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, whom we refer to as “Associates.”  As of June 30, 2007, we had approximately 178,000 active Associates worldwide. We also sell products directly to “Preferred Customers,” who purchase our products for personal use only and who are not permitted to resell or distribute our products. As of June 30, 2007, we had approximately 79,000 active Preferred Customers worldwide. The majority of sales come from Associates. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, sales to Associates accounted for 87.5% of net sales. 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.

 

We consider our high-quality products, compact product lines, rewarding compensation plan, distributor support, and weekly Associate incentive payments to be attractive components of the USANA network marketing system. We believe that network marketing is an effective way to distribute our products because it allows person-to-person product education, which is not readily available through traditional distribution channels. Additionally, we feel that network marketing appeals to a broad cross-section of people, particularly those who are seeking to supplement their income, start a home-based business, or pursue entrepreneurial opportunities other than conventional full-time employment. Our Associates, who are also dedicated consumers of our products, are encouraged to build and manage their own sales force by recruiting, managing, and training others to sell our products. To support our Associates, we regularly sponsor meetings and events, which offer information about our products and our network marketing system. These meetings are designed to assist Associates in business development and to provide a forum for interaction with successful Associates and the USANA management team. We also provide low-cost sales tools, such as brochures, magazines, and DVD’s, which we believe are integral to our Associates building and maintaining a successful home-based business.

 

Our fiscal year end is the Saturday closest to December 31st of each year. Fiscal year 2006 ended on December 30, 2006, and fiscal year 2007 will end on December 29, 2007.

 

As discussed more fully in Note K – Segment Information, we previously reported two segments: Direct Selling and Contract Manufacturing. The Direct Selling segment is our principal line of business: developing, manufacturing, and distributing nutritional and personal care products through a network marketing system. The Contract Manufacturing segment consisted of manufacturing and packaging the Company’s Sensé™ product line of skin and personal care products, as well as contract manufacturing services provided to a limited number of third-party customers. Assets relating to our third-party business, which

 

21



 

make up the majority of the Contract Manufacturing segment, were held for sale as of June 30, 2007 and were subsequently sold in July 2007, as discussed more fully in Note B – Assets Held for Sale. As such, these operations have been classified as discontinued in the financial statements. Our financial results have been adjusted to reflect the reclassification of these third party sales and related expenses to discontinued operations for both the current and the prior year. We will retain the assets that are associated with manufacturing and packaging our Sensé skin and beauty care products and we will continue to manufacture these products at our current facility in Draper, Utah. However, due to the sale of assets related to the third-party contract manufacturing business, we now operate as one reportable business segment, Direct Selling.

 

Our primary product lines consist of USANAâ Nutritionals and Sensé – beautiful scienceâ (Sensé). The USANA Nutritionals product line is further categorized into three separate classifications: Essentials, Optimizers, and Macro Optimizers. Additionally, we offer combination packs, which generally contain a variety of products from each product line.

 

USANAâ 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 especially important, USANA offers: UsanimalsÔ, a 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. USANAâ Essentials for adults consists 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 USANAâ Essentials are also a part of the HealthPak 100™, a convenient pillow pack that also includes some key Optimizers.

 

Optimizers are more targeted supplements that are designed to meet individual health and nutritional needs. Products in this category include Proflavanolâ, Poly Câ, Procosaâ II, CoQuinoneâ 30, BiOmega-3Ô, E-PrimeÔ, BodyRox™ - Active CalciumÔ Chewable, Active CalciumÔ, PhytoEstrinÔ, Palmetto PlusÔ, Ginkgo-PSÔ, Garlic ECÔ, Visionexâ, OptOmegaâ, Hepasil DTXÔ, and TenX™ Antioxidant Blast.

 

The Macro Optimizers include healthy, low-glycemic functional foods and other related products. NutrimealÔ, Fibergyâ, and SoyaMaxÔ drink mixes, as well as Nutrition and Fibergy Bars™ are included in this product category. Our RESET™ weight management program and the accompanying RESET kit are also part of the Macro-Optimizers. The RESET kit is conveniently packaged in a self-contained box with all of the USANA products needed to complete a five-day regimen. It is designed to assist adults in losing weight and to help them begin a positive, long-term change in diet.

 

Sensé - beautiful scienceâ

 

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. These products are manufactured with our patented self-preserving technology, which uses a unique blend of botanicals, antioxidants, and active ingredients to keep products fresh, without adding traditional chemical preservatives. Products in this line include Perfecting Essence, Gentle Daily Cleanser, Hydrating Toner, Daytime Protective Emulsion, Eye Nourisher, Night Renewal, Serum Intensive, Rice Bran Polisher, Revitalizing Shampoo, Nourishing Conditioner, Firming Body Nourisher, Energizing Shower Gel, and Intensive Hand Therapy.

 

All Other

 

In addition to these principal product lines, we develop and sell materials and online tools that are designed to assist our Associates in building their businesses and marketing our products. These resource materials and sales tools include product brochures and business forms that are designed by us and printed by outside publishers. Our wholly-owned subsidiary, FMG Productions, doing business as USANA Studios, also produces multimedia tools, including CDs and DVDs. In addition, we occasionally provide reprints of other commercial publications that feature USANA and may be used as a sales tool. Also, we periodically contract with authors and publishers to produce or provide books, tapes, and other items that deal with health topics and personal motivation, which we then sell to our Associates. New Associates are required to purchase a starter kit, which

 

22



 

contains USANA training materials that help Associates begin to build their businesses. Associates do not earn commissions on the sale of starter kits or sales tools.

Forward-Looking Statements and Certain Risks

 

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 that are expressed in these forward-looking statements for the reasons detailed in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K at pages 22 through 32. The fact that some of these 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 our 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 common in 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 our actual results could differ from those that we have 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:

                  Potential adverse effects of customs, duties, taxation, and transfer pricing regulations, including regulations governing distinctions between and Company responsibilities to employees and independent contractors;

 

                  The fluctuation in the value of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar;

 

                  Our reliance on outside suppliers for raw materials and certain manufactured items;

 

                  Shortages of raw materials that we use in certain of our products;

 

                  Significant price increases of our key raw materials;

Results of Operations
 
Summary of Financial Results and Recent Developments
 

The second quarter of 2007 was another quarter of year-over-year growth, with net sales increasing 19.9%. Excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuation, net sales increased 17.4%. As is typical with our business, overall sales growth can primarily be attributed to an increase in the number of our active Associates who purchased product either for personal consumption or for resale. Also, in January 2007 we began operations in Malaysia, which contributed $4.5 million to net sales for the quarter. Excluding sales generated in Malaysia, net sales grew 14.8% over the second quarter of the prior year.

 

Income from continuing operations for the quarter increased 8.0% over the same quarter of the prior year, due largely to improved gross margin. This increase can primarily be attributed to increased net sales and improved gross profit margin, offset partially by higher operating costs.

 

A couple of the key highlights during the current year quarter were two regional events in North America, which were held in Chicago and Montreal. At these events we focused our efforts on product and business training, motivational speaking, and Associate recognition.

 

Quarters Ended July 1, 2006 and June 30, 2007

Net sales in the North America region increased 11.2% compared to the second quarter of 2006. Excluding the impact of foreign currency changes during the quarter, net sales in this region improved 10.3% over the same quarter of the prior year. The growth in this region was driven largely by a 15.6% increase in the number of active Associates. Double-digit sales growth in our

 

25



 

most mature market, the United States, and strong sales growth of 33.2% in Mexico also contributed to the increase in North American net sales. The growth in this region was primarily driven by contests and promotions that we offered to our Associates, which rewarded those Associates who actively grew their home-based businesses.

 

Net sales in the Asia Pacific region increased 38.7% compared to the second quarter of 2006. Excluding the impact of foreign currency changes during the quarter, net sales in this region improved 32.9% over the same quarter of the prior year. The improvement in net sales for this region primarily resulted from a 21.2% increase in the number of active Associates during the second quarter of 2007 in markets that have been open longer than one year. Additionally, incremental sales of $4.5 million were added by our newest market, Malaysia, which commenced operations in January of 2007.
