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. All but two of our science-based supplements are packaged in powdered form and are not only simple to use but also, when mixed with water, juice or other liquid and consumed, provide an effective means of delivering nutrients to the body. We also offer a ready-to-drink product, an encapsulated product and a line of skin care and food products. 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 17 nutritional supplements. In addition, we market a line of 15 skin care and food products under our Relivables brand. We have selectively evolved our product offering over our history. Our core line of nutritional supplements, which represented 63.1% of net product sales for the year ended December 31, 2010, includes 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 three flavors

•

FibRestore — a high-fiber and antioxidant supplement

These are our most successful supplements based on fiscal year 2010 net sales. We have 13 other nutritional supplements that complement these four core products. 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 five of these products — Innergize!, FibRestore, Arthaffect, ReversAge and Cellebrate. In addition, we have applied for U.S. patents on our ProVantage, GlucAffect and CardioSentials products.

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 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.

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, Brunei, Canada, 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, 2010, our network consisted of approximately 60,740 distributors — 47,450 in the United States and 13,290 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 $26.9 billion U.S. nutritional supplement market, which is part of the broader $102 billion U.S. nutrition industry according to 2009 data published by the Nutrition Business Journal, or NBJ, and $228.0 billion global nutrition industry, also according to the NBJ, with sales expected to increase six to ten percent.

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 39.6 million in 2009 according to the Department of Health and Human Services. They represented 12.9% of the U.S. population, about one in every eight Americans. By 2030, there will be about 72.1 million older persons living in the United States, more than twice their number in 2000. People 65 years or older represented 12.4% of the population in the year 2000 and are expected to represent 19% of the population by 2030. We believe this ever-growing population 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. National health care spending reached $2.6 trillion in 2010 and is expected to reach $4.5 trillion by 2019 according to the National Coalition on Health Care, or NCHC. In an article published by Families USA, they reported that nearly 6.9 million Americans lost their health coverage between 2008 and 2009. In addition, the total 2010 medical costs for a typical American family of four topped out at $18,074 which is a 7.8% increase from 2009 according to the Milliman Medical Index. This is the highest dollar increase since the inception of the Milliman Medical Index 10 years ago. 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 in the January 2009 Obesity analyzing NHANES (The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey) data, 86.3% of Americans will be overweight or obese by 2030, and less than 1% will be of normal weight by 2048 if the current weight trends continue. Related health care costs to obesity are expected to grown between $860.7 billion to $956.9 billion by 2030 and account for 16% to 18% of all medical expenditures. 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 2009 global direct selling market (for all product categories) was estimated to be $117.5 billion. The WFDSA estimates that the number of individuals engaged in direct selling nearly doubled between 1999 and 2009, from 35.9 million sellers to 74 million in 2009. The U.S. had 16.1 million direct sellers in 2009.

While the United States is currently the largest direct selling market with $28.3 billion in annual sales in 2009, international markets account for 76% of the entire industry, according to the WFDSA. Eighteen countries (including the United States) have annual direct sales revenue of at least $1 billion and another 26 countries have annual direct sales revenue of at least $100 million, according to the WFDSA.

For the nutrition industry, the network marketing channel accounted for approximately 7% of the total U.S. nutritional supplements sold in 2008, or approximately $7.1 billion, according to the NBJ.

We believe that we are well positioned to capitalize on the domestic and international 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 have historically supported our growth and enabled us to achieve sustained profitability.

Complete, Simple Nutrition. We focus on the completeness, balance and simplicity of our basic nutritional supplements — Reliv Classic and Reliv NOW — as captured by our slogan, “Nutrition Made Simple. Life Made Rich.” 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 Relivables 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 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, our newest product, 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.”

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 and with the physicians on our Medical Advisory Board 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 Slimplicity accelerator capsules and 24K. 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, 2010, we had a total of 371 Ambassadors. The top 10 distributors at the Ambassador level have been with us for an average of 18 years, which provides consistency in training new distributors and contributes to increased sales.

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 16 years and are experienced in their areas of focus, which include manufacturing, sales, finance, marketing and operations. As of March 1, 2011, our directors and executive officers beneficially own approximately 40.7% 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 training and better utilization of our upper-level distributors across different geographical areas.

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. In selected markets, we have begun investing in additional marketing support for our distributors that is consistent with our successful activities in the United States, including third party advertising materials and company-sponsored distributor meetings. We believe this uniform business model and additional marketing expense 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 August 2009 we introduced our Relivables brand of products. 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. 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. In addition, we initiated the Team Reliv program in February 2010 that provides financial and marketing support to local distributor groups sponsoring races and walks within their local communities. 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

Product Overview

Our product line includes nutritional supplements that address basic nutrition, specific wellness needs, weight management and sports nutrition. We combine ingredients from science and nature in targeted, well-balanced, easy-to-use formulas that are specifically designed to enhance wellness and increase performance and energy in specific applications. All but two of our supplements are in powdered form that the consumer mixes with water, juice or other liquid. We also have a ready-to-drink product, an encapsulated product and a line of skin care and food products marketed under our Relivables brand name.

We currently offer 17 nutritional supplements. In addition, we offer 11 skin care and four food products under our Relivables line. Our basic nutritional supplements are formulated to provide a balanced and complete level of supplementation for the consumer. For more specific needs, we provide other focused product formulations. We have purposely been selective in the number and types of products that we offer. By providing a line of targeted products, we make it simple for our distributors and consumers to choose products appropriate for their objectives. We consider four of our oldest and best selling products — Reliv Classic, Reliv NOW, Innergize!, and FibRestore — to be our primary or “core” products.

We expect Slimplicity to eventually replace Reliv Ultrim-Plus in all of our markets.

Relivables Fortified Soy Milk is lactose-free and dairy-free and significantly exceeds the amount of calcium and vitamin D in dairy milk, along with six grams of soy protein. Relivables Soy Nuts are a good source of fiber and soy protein, low in sodium and cholesterol free. Relivables Healthy Snack Bars, which come in a Chocolate-Coated Granola flavor, are a good source of fiber, soy protein and whole grains.

Research and Development

We maintain an ongoing research and development effort, led by Carl W.

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, 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		40	% (1)
Presidential Director		40	% (1)

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

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 and to document specified levels of retail sales.

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, 2010, we had 371 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 Tuesday evening recruiting meetings and Saturday training sessions. We sponsor weekly training conference calls in which a significant number of distributors participate.

Our sponsorship generally includes the following:

•

During 2010, we sponsored approximately 50 training schools on a quarterly basis across all of our markets for new Master Affiliates;

•

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

•

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 2010, we invested approximately $3.18 million in training, conferences and promotional events for our distributors worldwide.

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 2010, approximately 15.0% of our net sales were generated outside of the United States.

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	Brunei	2009
Philippines	2000	Indonesia	2009
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 35.5% of our net sales in 2010 in California, Illinois, Kansas, Texas, Missouri, Michigan, and Ohio, 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, as our existing distributor bases grow and expand.

We organize all of our international operations under our wholly owned subsidiary, Reliv’ World. As of December 31, 2010, Reliv’ World consisted of the following market-specific entities: Reliv’ Australia, Reliv’ New Zealand, Reliv’ Canada, Reliv’ Mexico, Reliv’ UK (including Ireland), Reliv’ Philippines, Reliv’ Malaysia, Reliv’ Singapore, Reliv’ Brunei, Reliv’ Germany (including Austria and the Netherlands), 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 all of our current international markets. 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.

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.

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 Slimplicity accelerator capsules, 24K, and Relivables soy nuts and snack bars are manufactured by a third party and our Relivables skin care line is manufactured by third parties that are both owner and licensee of certain proprietary technology used in our skin care products.

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 Slimplicity accelerator capsules or 24K. 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 2010, our Chesterfield plant was audited and re-certified by the Australian TGA.

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; Birmingham, England; Petaling Jaya, Malaysia; Singapore; Brunei; and Jakarta, Indonesia. Our Philippines subsidiary currently has approximately three product pick-up centers located throughout the country which are operated by local business contractors and a company-owned and operated business center located in Makati. In Mexico, product is warehoused in and shipped from approximately five distribution centers located throughout the country. With the exception of our Canada, New Zealand, Singapore, Brunei, and German subsidiaries, each of our subsidiaries maintains an office and personnel to receive, record, and fill orders from distributors. Distributors in Ireland, Germany, Austria, and the Netherlands order and receive product from our UK subsidiary.

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 0.67% and 0.70% of net sales in 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Information Technology Systems

In order to facilitate our continued growth and support 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 frame relay 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 40% of our order volume in the U.S. 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 five products as set forth below:

Product		Patent Expiration Date
Innergize!		November 2012
FibRestore		June 2014
Cellebrate		June 2015
Arthaffect		March 2018
ReversAge		May 2021

Currently, we have 22 trademarks registered with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, or USPTO, including Reliv and the names of 15 of our 17 nutritional products. NOW for Kids and 24K is 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 new regulations relating to more detailed cGMP specifically for dietary supplements. Under the new 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 the 2009 audit and expect that we will receive no notice of deviations from the 2011 audit. We believe our systems and facilities in Chesterfield are in full compliance with cGMP.

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 have obtained approval of our marketing program as required in all of the markets where we operate and do so for each country we enter.

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.

Reliv NOW and Reliv Classic compete with numerous supplements that offer multi-vitamin benefits. The Reliv Ultrim-Plus, Slimplicity 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. With Arthaffect, FibRestore, ReversAge, GlucAffect, CardioSentials, SoySentials and the Relivables skin care and food 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, 2010, we and all of our subsidiaries had approximately 246 full-time employees compared with 239 such employees at the end of 2009.

Overview

We are a developer, manufacturer and marketer of a proprietary line of nutritional supplements addressing basic nutrition, specific wellness needs, weight management and sports nutrition. We also offer a line of skin care and food products under our Relivables brand. We sell our products through an international network marketing system utilizing independent distributors. Sales in the United States represented approximately 85.0% of worldwide net sales for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to approximately 87.9% for the year ended December 31, 2009. Our international operations currently generate sales through distributor networks with facilities in Australia, Canada, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, the Philippines, and the United Kingdom. We also operate on a limited basis in Ireland, Germany, Austria and the Netherlands from our U.K. distribution center, in New Zealand from our Australia office, and in Singapore and Brunei from our Malaysia office.

We derive our revenues principally through product sales made by our global independent distributor base, which, as of December 31, 2010, consisted of approximately 60,740 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 between 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. Also, we include other sales leadership bonuses, such as Ambassador bonuses, in this line item. Distributor royalties and commissions are directly related to the level of our sales and, absent any changes in our distributor compensation plan, should continue at comparable levels as a percentage of net sales as in recent periods.

Selling, general and administrative expenses include the compensation and benefits paid to our employees except for those in manufacturing, all other selling expenses, marketing, promotional expenses, travel and other corporate administrative expenses. These other corporate administrative expenses include professional fees, non-manufacturing depreciation and amortization, occupancy costs, communication costs and other similar operating expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses can be affected by a number of factors, including staffing levels and the cost of providing competitive salaries and benefits; the amount we decide to invest in distributor training and motivational initiatives; and the cost of regulatory compliance.

Net Sales. Overall, sales decreased by 7.8% worldwide, as sales in the United States decreased by 10.9% in the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to 2009. During 2010, our international sales increased by 14.4% over the prior year. All of our international markets, except Asia, showed an increase in sales during 2010 compared to the prior year.

The following table summarizes net sales by geographic market for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

The following table sets forth, as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, 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 continuing the growth of our business.

	December 31, 2010				December 31, 2009				% Change
	Active Distributors		Master Affiliates and Above		Active Distributors		Master Affiliates and Above		Active Distributors			Master Affiliates and Above

United States		47,450		6,990		54,040		8,640		(12.2	)%		(19.1	)%

Sales in the United States continue to be adversely impacted by distributor uncertainty in the economic recovery and the reduced availability of consumer credit. In addition to the direct impact on sales, these factors lead to fewer distributors qualifying for the level of Master Affiliate. In 2010, approximately 2,040 distributors qualified as new Master Affiliates and 57.3% of the Master Affiliates and above as of December 31, 2009 requalified as Master Affiliates and above during 2010. This compares to approximately 2,570 new Master Affiliates and a requalification rate of 55.6% in 2009. The net number of Master Affiliates and above as of December 31, 2010 decreased by 19.1%, compared to the number as of December 31, 2009.

Another impact to our business due to the downturn in the economy is the average order size. In the United States during 2010, we processed approximately 260,000 orders for products at an average order of $336 at suggested retail. In 2009, we processed approximately 275,000 product orders at an average order of $353 at suggested retail. This decline in the average order size is another indicator of the impact of the current economic conditions and a contributing factor in the lower numbers of distributors reaching the Master Affiliate level.

The net number of active Distributors in the United States as of December 31, 2010 decreased by 12.2% to 47,450, compared to the number of active Distributors as of December 31, 2009. Another factor in the decline in sales in the United States was fewer new distributor enrollments. During 2010, approximately 13,620 new distributors were enrolled, compared to 19,580 new distributor enrollments in 2009, a decline of 30.4%. In response to the decline in new distributor enrollments, we indefinitely reduced the cost to enroll as a distributor to $25 in August 2010. We also revised the materials that a new distributor receives by targeting the materials to entry level distributors. In 2009, we ran an initiative from January through August 2009 to increase new distributor enrollments by offering an enrollment fee of $20, half of the then-normal $39.95 fee. Distributor retention in the United States declined slightly to approximately 62.6% for 2010 compared to a rate of 63.1% for 2009. As part of the changes to the distributor enrollment process in August 2010, we also reduced the cost of the annual distributorship renewal from $30 to $25.

During the year ended December 31, 2010, net sales in our international operations increased in aggregate by 14.4% to $11.85 million compared to $10.36 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. Net sales increased in all of our international markets, except in Asia. Although international sales increased in aggregate during 2010, approximately 58% of the increase was the result of foreign currency fluctuation due to a weaker U.S. dollar. When net sales for the full year of 2010 are converted using the 2009 exchange rate for both 2010 and 2009, international net sales increased by 6.0% for 2010 compared to the prior year. The average exchange rate for the U.S. dollar for all of 2010 was weaker against all currencies of the countries we conduct business, except for the British pound and the euro, compared to the average exchange rates for all of 2009.

Net sales in the Australia/New Zealand market increased by 3.6% in 2010 compared to 2009. New distributor enrollments were 793 in 2010 compared to 952 in 2009. In 2010, 49 distributors qualified as new Master Affiliates, compared to 67 in the prior year. When net sales are converted using the 2009 exchange rate for both 2010 and 2009, net sales in this market decreased by 11.6%. Net income for the Australia/New Zealand market was $33,000 in 2010, compared to net income of $7,000 in 2009.

Net sales in Canada increased by 39.5% in 2010 compared to 2009. When measured in local currency, Canadian net sales increased by 25.9% in 2010 compared to 2009, as we had a strong increase in the number of new Master Affiliate qualifications. In 2010, 88 distributors qualified as new Master Affiliates, compared to 48 in the prior year. New distributor enrollments were 548 in 2010 compared to 476 in 2009. Net loss in Canada was $15,000 for 2010, compared to a net income of $35,000 in 2009. The improvement in gross profit was offset by a reduction in foreign currency transaction gains. For all of 2010, we recorded gains of $39,000, compared to transaction gains of $126,000 for 2009.

Net sales in Mexico increased 4.7% in 2010 compared to 2009. New distributor enrollments were 1,306 in 2010 compared to 1,700 in 2009, and 194 distributors qualified as new Master Affiliates in 2010, compared to 140 in the prior year. When measured in local currency, 2010 net sales decreased by 2.1%, as the Mexican peso strengthened on average for 2010 when compared to the U.S. dollar. The net loss in Mexico for 2010 was $300,000, compared to a net loss of $316,000 in 2009.

Our European region includes sales from operations in United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, Austria and the Netherlands. Net sales in Europe increased by 55.8% for 2010 compared to 2009. When measured in local currency, net sales in Europe increased by 58.8% in 2010 compared to the prior year. Strong company sales leadership, coupled with improving local distributor leadership led to the increase. New distributor enrollments were 1,518 in 2010 compared to 617 in 2009, and 188 distributors qualified as new Master Affiliates in 2010, compared to 96 in 2009. The net loss incurred in Europe was $320,000 in 2010, compared to a net loss of $478,000 in 2009. The 2010 net loss was reduced as a result of the increase in current year sales.

Our Asian region includes sales from operations from the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, and Indonesia. Net sales in Asia decreased by 0.4% in 2010 compared to the prior year. New distributor enrollments were 3,864 in 2010 compared to 4,941 in 2009, and 326 distributors qualified as new Master Affiliates in 2010, compared to 336 in 2009. When measured in local currency, 2010 net sales decreased by 6.8%. The net loss in Asia for 2010 was $664,000, compared to a net loss of $437,000 in 2009, as the result of decline in sales. Asian sales declined, particularly in the second and third quarters of 2010, as the result of departures in our local management staff in our Malaysian office and declining trends in both new distributor enrollments and new Master Affiliate qualifications. We hired a new general manager late in the second quarter of 2010 to oversee the Southeast Asia area, which includes our Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, and Indonesia operations.

Cost of Products Sold. Cost of products sold as a percentage of net sales increased to 20.0% for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to 19.7% for the year ended December 31, 2009. Gross margins declined in 2010 compared to 2009 due to changes in revenue mix and lower production levels corresponding with the decrease in sales.

Distributor Royalties and Commissions. Distributor royalties and commissions as a percentage of net sales decreased slightly to 37.4% for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to 37.7% for the same period in 2009. The minor reduction is due to the introduction of the Relivables product line in the third quarter of 2009, which has a lower commission rate.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. For 2010, selling, general and administrative, or SGA, expenses decreased by $1.91 million compared to 2009. However, SGA expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 38.9% in 2010 compared to 38.1% in 2009, as a function of the 7.8% decline in consolidated net sales.

Sales and marketing expenses decreased by $1.15 million in 2010. Of that amount, $395,000 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 $391,000 for our distributor conferences and other training events, and a decrease of $123,000 for distributor newsletter costs.

General and administrative expenses, including salaries and benefits, decreased by approximately $727,000 in 2010 compared to 2009. One of the significant decreases was in salaries, incentive compensation expense and benefits of $562,000, as we reduced the contribution to our Employee Stock Ownership Plan by $340,000 for the year. Other significant changes included a decrease in legal, accounting and consulting fees of $153,000; business insurance expenses of $100,000; and depreciation expense of $141,000. Amortization expense increased by $137,000, related to intangible assets associated with the acquisition of a Reliv distributorship in 2009.

Interest Income/Expense. Interest income decreased to $48,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to $52,000 for the same period in 2009. The decrease in interest income is the result of lower interest rates during 2010. Interest expense increased to $206,000 for 2010 compared to $174,000 for 2009, as the result of a full year of interest expense for two long-term debt agreements we entered into during 2009.

Income Taxes. We recorded income tax expense of $1.14 million for 2010, representing an effective rate of 40.4%. In 2009, we recorded income tax expense of $1.47 million, representing an effective rate of 36.9%. The higher effective rate in 2010 is the result of the increased impact of the permanent non-deductible expenses compared to pre-tax income and a higher effective rate of state income taxes.

Net Income. Our net income decreased to $1.68 million ($0.14 per share basic and diluted) for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to $2.52 million ($0.20 per share basic and diluted) for 2009. Profitability decreased commensurate with the decrease in net sales in the United States, as discussed above, plus a slight increase in the net loss from international operations. Net income in the United States was $2.95 million in 2010, compared to $3.70 million in 2009. The net loss from international operations was $1.27 million in 2010, compared a net loss of $1.19 million in 2009.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

We generated $2.23 million of net cash during 2010 from operating activities, $845,000 was used in investing activities, and we used $1.02 million in financing activities. This compares to $5.76 million of net cash provided by operating activities, $1.01 million used in investing activities, and $3.65 million used in financing activities in 2009. Cash and cash equivalents increased by $570,000 to $6.33 million as of December 31, 2010 compared to December 31, 2009.

Significant changes in working capital items consisted of an increase in inventory of $472,000, and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $535,000 in 2010. The increase in inventory is the result of lower than expected sales levels, compared to scheduled production. We also increased inventory levels in some of our foreign markets to provide better lead time and shipping efficiencies. The decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses is related to a lower level of payables with production vendors. Furthermore, accrued distributor commission expense is approximately $263,000 lower at the end of 2010 compared to the end of 2009.

Our net investing activities included $577,000 and $534,000 in net capital expenditures for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Payments for key-man life insurance were $268,000 in 2010 and $252,000 in 2009. Other investing activities in 2009 also included $716,000 in cash payment for the purchase of a distributorship, along with proceeds of $489,000 from the final withdrawal in a limited partnership investment.

Financing activities in 2010 consisted of $521,000 in payments on long-term debt and $495,000 in common stock dividends paid. Financing activities in 2009 included $5.01 million in payments for purchases of our common stock into treasury and $856,000 in common stock dividends paid.

Stockholders’ equity increased to $13.93 million at December 31, 2010 compared with $12.27 million at December 31, 2009. The increase represents our net income of $1.68 million for 2010, offset by our cash dividend of $495,000. Other changes to equity include the contribution of treasury shares to our ESOP of $125,000, an improvement in our cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment of $180,000, and other equity-based compensation of $171,000.

Our working capital balance was $6.86 million at December 31, 2010 compared to $5.47 million at December 31, 2009. The current ratio at December 31, 2010 was 2.07 compared to 1.81 at previous year-end.

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

We also renewed a revolving credit facility for $5 million with the Bank. The credit facility accrues interest on the outstanding principal balance at a floating interest rate based on 30-day LIBOR plus 1.85% and has a maturity date of September 30, 2011. As of December 31, 2010, there were no outstanding borrowings on the revolving credit facility.

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

Under the terms of the letter agreement, we have agreed to financial covenants under which we are required to (i) maintain at all times a tangible net worth of not less than $10 million and (ii) maintain at all times a ratio of Total Funded Debt to EBITDA of not greater than 2.5 to 1. The term loan and revolving credit facility are secured by all of our tangible and intangible assets and also by a mortgage on our building and real estate located in Chesterfield, Missouri. As of December 31, 2010, we were in compliance with all financial covenants.

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

Critical Accounting Policies

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 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. Total returns have been approximately 0.67% and 0.70% of net sales in 2010 and 2009, 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.

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.” We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options which requires us to estimate certain key assumptions. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, we incurred employee stock-based compensation cost of $190,000 ($124,000 net of tax), and $192,000 ($126,000 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.

At December 31, 2010, we had deferred tax assets related to net operating loss carryforwards and other income tax credits with a tax value of $4.3 million. These net operating loss carryforwards have various expiration dates, depending on the country and period in which they occurred. A valuation allowance of $4.3 million has been established for these deferred tax assets based on projected future taxable income and the expiration dates of these carryforwards.

At December 31, 2010, we also had deferred tax assets related to 2008 capital losses on investments with a tax value of $349,000. We have established a corresponding valuation allowance of $349,000 against this deferred tax asset as we do not anticipate having sufficient future capital gains to offset these capital losses.

The calculations of our tax liabilities involve dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations. On January 1, 2007, we adopted provisions of ASC Topic 740 related to uncertain tax positions. As a result of the implementation of the provisions, we recognize liabilities for uncertain tax positions based on the two-step process prescribed in the guidance. 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, 2010. 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, 2010, 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 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 operation 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, 2010.

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. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the company’s registered public accounting firm as the company is classified as a “Smaller Reporting Company.”

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no material changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of 2010 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls 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, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2010. 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 includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as 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, 2010 and 2009, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2010, 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 and licensees 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, 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.

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 were $69,592 and $147,606 for 2010 and 2009, 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, 2010 and 2009, total returns as a percent of net sales were approximately 0.67 % and 0.70%, 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.

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

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 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 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 $55,000 and $91,000 of advertising expense in 2010 and 2009, respectively.

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. Based on management’s estimates, these lives range from two to fifteen years. Related amortization expense is presented within Selling, General, and Administrative in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. See Note 14 for further information.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses, which are charged to selling, general, and administrative expenses as incurred, were $587,000 and $551,000 in 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Cash Equivalents

The Company's policy is to consider the following as cash and cash equivalents: demand deposits, short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased, and highly liquid debt securities with both insignificant interest rate risk and with original maturities from the date of purchase of generally three months or less.

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.

Reclassifications

At December 31, 2010, the cash surrender value of life insurance balance exceeds 5% of total assets and is therefore separately presented in the consolidated balance sheets and statements of cash flows. To conform to the 2010 presentation, 2009 amounts have been reclassified from Other Assets.

4. Limited Partnership Investment

In June 2006, the Company contributed $1,000,000 as a limited partner in a private equity fund. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 323-30, “Investments – Equity Methods and Joint Ventures,” the Company accounted for its investment under the equity method. Under this method, the Company’s proportionate share of partnership income or loss was recorded to gain or loss on limited partnership investment with a corresponding increase or decrease in the carrying value of its investment.

In 2008, the Company delivered notice to the partnership’s general partner of its notice to fully withdraw from the partnership. Therefore, the carrying value of the investment at December 31, 2008 of $489,000 was included in “Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets” in the consolidated balance sheets. Upon final cessation of the partnership in 2009, the Company received cash from the partnership of $489,000.

Long-term debt	$	5,184,000		-	$	5,184,000
Marketable securities (1)		200,000		200,000		-		-

(1)	Representing assets of the Company's Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (trading securities). Presented within Other Assets in the consolidated balance sheets.

(2)

Representing recorded liability of Canadian forward currency contracts and is presented within Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses in the consolidated balance sheets. The fair values of derivatives are determined either through quoted market prices in active markets for exchange traded derivatives or through pricing from brokers who develop values based on inputs observable in active markets such as interest rates and currency volatilities.

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 three levels:

Level 1:		Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

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.

5. Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)

At December 31, the carrying amount and fair value of the Company’s financial instruments are approximately as follows:

	2010				2009
	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value

Long-term debt	$	4,717,643	$	4,613,000	$	5,238,734	$	5,184,000
Marketable securities		232,000		232,000		200,000		200,000
Derivatives		11,693		11,693		-		-

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. Long-Term Debt

Long-term debt at December 31, 2010 and 2009 consists of the following:

	2010		2009

Term loan	$	3,594,908	$	3,948,768

Reliv’ International, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

6. Long-Term Debt (continued)

Effective November 30, 2010, the Company entered into a new one-year $5 million revolving loan agreement (2010) with its primary lender. 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. At December 31, 2010, the outstanding revolving line of credit balance was zero.

2009 Purchases of Stock for Treasury and related Borrowings

In April 2009, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with a significant shareholder (Seller) to purchase 2,068,973 shares of the Company’s common stock for $6,106,919 (an average price of $2.95 per share). To finance the purchase, the Company borrowed $5 million under its 2008 revolving line of credit and issued a promissory note to the Seller for $1,106,919. The promissory note bore interest at 6% per annum with all principal and interest due no later than ninety days from closing. The Company repaid this promissory note in July 2009 by borrowing $1 million from its 2008 revolving line of credit.

In June 2009, the Company entered into a term loan agreement with its primary lender for $4.12 million and used all of the proceeds to reduce its revolving line of credit balance. The term loan was a for a period of two years with interest accruing at a floating interest rate based on the 30-day LIBOR plus 3%, subject to a 3.75% floor. Monthly principal and interest were based on a ten-year amortization. As originally structured, the aggregate outstanding balance of principal and interest was due and payable on June 29, 2011.

On November 30, 2010, the Company re-financed its term loan agreement with its primary lender. The re-financed term loan is a for a period of three years with interest accruing at a floating interest rate based on the 30-day LIBOR plus 2%. As of December 31, 2010, the term loan’s interest rate was 2.27%. Monthly principal and interest are based on approximately a nine-year amortization. The aggregate outstanding balance of principal and interest is due and payable on November 30, 2013.

The term loan agreement and 2010 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 $10 million, and that borrowings under the agreements shall not exceed EBITDA by a ratio of 2.5:1. At December 31, 2010, the Company was in compliance with its loan covenants.

Obligation for Purchase of Distributorship

As described in Note 14, on August 31, 2009, the Company incurred a long-term obligation of $1,343,881 relating to the purchase of a Reliv distributorship. The Company will pay this obligation in monthly payments of principal and interest totaling $18,994 over a seven-year term with an annual interest rate of 5%.

7. Stockholders’ Equity

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. As of December 31, 2010, there were no grants under the 2009 Plan.

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.

In 2005, the Company issued grants of 543,000 shares under the 2003 Plan. The 2005 option grants were issued with an exercise price equal to the fair value of the shares at the time of grant and were fully vested in the year of grant. These option grants precede the Company’s 2006 adoption of FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation.” Accordingly, no stock-based compensation expense has been recognized relating to the 2005 option grants.

In August 2007, the Company granted options to purchase 216,000 shares of common stock under the 2003 Plan. The options were issued with an exercise price of $9.74 which was equal to the fair value of the shares at the time of grant.

7. Stockholders’ Equity (continued)

Stock Options (continued)

The fair value of the options granted in 2007 were estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 5.01%; dividend yield of 1.00%; volatility factor of the expected price of the Company’s stock of 0.472; an expected life of 4.5 years and a grant date fair value of $4.07 per share. The options have a term of five years and vest in increments of 25% beginning August 7, 2009 and ending May 1, 2012. Expense for stock options granted in 2007 is recognized on a straight-line basis separately for each vesting portion of the stock option award.

During 2008, the Company granted options to purchase 16,500 and 25,000 shares of common stock with exercise prices of $5.28 per share and $5.50 per share, respectively, and a grant-date fair value of $1.84 per share and $1.91 per share, respectively. The options’ exercise prices were equal to the fair value of the shares at the time of the grant.

The fair value of the options granted in 2008 were estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: risk-free interest rate of approximately 3.0%; dividend yield of 1.9%; volatility factor of the expected price of the Company’s stock of 0.447; and an expected life of 4.5 years. The options have a term of five years and vest in various increments ranging from one year to 4.67 years.

Compensation cost for the stock option plans was approximately $190,000 ($124,000 net of tax) and $192,000 ($126,000 net of tax) for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and has been recorded in selling, general, and administrative expense. As of December 31, 2010, the total remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options totaled $240,000 ($156,000 net of tax), which will be amortized over the weighted remaining requisite service period of 1.4 years.

The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options outstanding and currently exercisable at December 31, 2010 was $-0-. Intrinsic value for stock options is calculated based on the exercise price of the underlying awards as compared to the quoted price of the Company’s common stock as of the reporting date.

For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, no stock options were exercised.

Distributor Stock Purchase Plan

In November 1998, the Company established a Distributor Stock Purchase Plan (1998 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. This plan commenced in January 1999, and a total of 26,134 warrants were issued during the year ended December 31, 2008. The warrants are fully vested upon grant. The weighted average fair value of warrants granted during 2008 was $1.30 per share.

The 1998 Plan was established with a ten-year life. As a result, there will be no further grants from this Plan. Upon exercise, forfeiture or expiration of all outstanding warrants, the 1998 Plan will terminate.

In July 2009, the Company established a new Distributor Stock Purchase Plan (2009 Plan) to replace the expired 1998 Plan. The 2009 Plan, which is similar to the 1998 Plan, commenced in August 2009. A total of 3,179 warrants, at a fair value of $1.06 per share, were issued on December 31, 2009. A total of 13,684 warrants, at a fair value of $0.65 per share, were issued on December 31, 2010. The warrants are fully vested upon grant.

10. Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company has various transactions with its foreign subsidiaries that are denominated in U.S. dollars and are thereby subject to foreign currency exchange risk on these transactions.

The Company from time to time uses foreign currency exchange contracts to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The Company bases these contracts on the amount of cash flows that it expects to be remitted to the United States from its foreign operations and does not use such derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The Company accounts for these contracts as free standing derivatives, such that gains or losses on the fair market value of these forward exchange contracts as of the balance sheet dates are recorded as other income and expense in the consolidated statements of income.

At December 31, 2010, the Company held Canadian forward exchange contracts with maturities of less than one year totaling $487,000. The increase (decrease) in the aggregate accrued loss on these contracts was $11,692 and $-0- for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. No contracts were held at December 31, 2009.

11. Income Taxes (continued)

The Company has a deferred tax asset of $4,279,000 as of December 31, 2010, and $3,935,000 as of December 31, 2009, relating to foreign net operating loss carryforwards. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance as it is more likely than not that this asset will not be realized before it expires beginning in 2011.

The Company has a deferred tax asset as of December 31, 2010 related primarily to 2008 capital losses on investments with a tax value of $349,000. The Company has established a corresponding valuation allowance of $349,000 as it does not anticipate having sufficient future capital gains to offset these capital losses. The capital loss carryforward expires in 2013.

Through December 31, 2010, the Company has not recorded a provision for income taxes on the earnings of several of its foreign subsidiaries because such earnings are intended to be permanently reinvested outside the U.S. The cumulative amount of unremitted earnings on which the Company has not recognized United States income tax was $111,000 at December 31, 2010. Although it is not practicable to determine the deferred tax liability on the unremitted earnings, credits for foreign income taxes paid would be available to significantly reduce any U.S tax liability if foreign earnings are remitted.

The Company’s effective tax rate is based on expected income, statutory tax rates and tax planning opportunities available to the Company in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Significant judgment is required in determining the Company’s effective tax rate and in evaluating its tax positions. In evaluating the exposure associated with various filing positions, the Company estimates reserves for probable exposures, which are adjusted quarterly in light of changing facts and circumstances, such as the progress of tax audits, case law and emerging legislation.

The Company applied applicable accounting guidance relating to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. 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, 2010 and 2009, the Company had $110,000 and $166,800, respectively, of cumulative unrecognized tax benefits, all of which would impact the effective income tax rate if recognized.

Increases in balances related to tax positions taken during current period		14,000

Balance as of December 31, 2010	$	110,000

The current portion of the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits is presented in the balance sheet within current liabilities and the amount expected to be settled after one year is recorded in other non-current liabilities.

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 2006 and concluded years through 2006 with its primary state jurisdiction.

One of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries is presently under local country audit for alleged deficiencies 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 has 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 Statements of Income.

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 $163,000 and $147,000 in 2010 and 2009, respectively.

12. Employee Benefit Plans (continued)

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 2010 and 2009, 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 and $465,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, 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 2010 and 2009, 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 $457,000 and $723,000 to the participants of the bonus pool for 2010 and 2009, respectively.

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 2010 and 2009, 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, 2010 and 2009, SERP assets were $232,000 and $200,000, respectively, and are included in “Other Assets” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, SERP liabilities were $238,000 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 2010 and 2009 were due to net realized and unrealized investment gains/losses incurred by the plan.

14. Purchase of Reliv Distributorship

On August 31, 2009, the Company acquired an independent Reliv distributorship from its owner for an aggregate purchase price of $2,060,000. The Company paid $500,000 of the purchase price to the owner at closing, credited the owner’s $216,119 outstanding loan balance due to the Company, and will pay the balance of the purchase price, $1,343,881, over a period of seven years, plus interest at an annual rate of 5%, with monthly payments of principal and interest totaling $18,994. As a condition to the transaction, the contract contains a non-compete clause of two years and non-solicitation clause of Company distributors for a term of seven years.

The Company allocated the purchase price to its components based on the relative fair values of assets acquired, accounting for the acquisition of the distributorship as an intangible asset with an estimated value of $1,648,000 and useful life of fifteen years. For the non-compete provision and non-solicitation provision, the Company allocated $103,000 and $309,000 respectively, based upon these assets relative fair value estimates and their respective contractual terms.

The distributorship, non-compete, and non-solicit assets, net of accumulated amortization, are presented as “Intangible assets, net” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and are subject to review for potential impairment going forward.

The Company had amortizable intangible assets as follows as of December 31, 2010 and 2009:

					Accumulated
	Gross Carrying Amount				Amortization
	2010		2009		2010		2009

	$	2,060,000		2,060,000	$	274,013		68,503

Amortization expense (straight-line method) for intangible assets totaled $205,510 and $68,503 in 2010 and 2009, respectively. Amortization expense for amortizable intangible assets over the next five years is estimated to be:
