NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, except per share data)
(unaudited)
Basis of Presentation
The condensed balance sheet as of January 1, 2011, derived from audited financial statements, and the unaudited interim consolidated financial information of USANA Health Sciences, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “USANA”) have been prepared in accordance with Article 10 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures that are normally included in financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the accompanying interim consolidated financial information contains all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments that are necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of April 2, 2011 and results of operations for the quarters ended April 3, 2010 and April 2, 2011. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto that are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, 2011. The results of operations for the quarter ended April 2, 2011, may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year 2011 ending December 31, 2011.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-28, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts (ASU 2010-28). ASU 2010-28 modifies Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment may exist. ASU 2010-28 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company adopted ASU 2010-28 during the first quarter ended April 2, 2011, and its application had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In December 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-29, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations (ASU 2010-29). ASU 2010-29 has been issued to address diversity in practice about the interpretation of the pro forma revenue and earnings disclosure requirements for business combinations. The amendments in this update specify that, if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combinations(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The amendments also expand the supplemental pro forma disclosures under Topic 805 to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring, pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. ASU 2010-29 is effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The Company adopted ASU 2010-29 during the first quarter ended April 2, 2011, and its application had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (continued)
(in thousands, except per share data)
(unaudited)
NOTE B — FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company reports term deposits in accordance with established authoritative guidance, which requires a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date.
The three levels are defined as follows:
· Level 1 inputs are quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date.
· Level 2 inputs are from other than quoted market prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
· Level 3 inputs are unobservable and are used to measure fair value in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.
The fair values of term deposits placed with banks are determined based on the pervasive interest rates in the market, which are also the interest rates as stated in the contracts with the banks. The Company classifies the valuation techniques that use the pervasive interest rates input as Level 2. The carrying values of these term deposits approximate their fair values due to their short-term maturities. As of April 2, 2011, the fair value of term deposits in the consolidated balance sheet totaled $3,054, consisting of $1,527, classified in cash and cash equivalents, and $1,527 in prepaid expenses and other current assets.

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

USANA operates in a single operating segment as a direct selling company that develops, manufactures, and distributes high-quality nutritional and personal care products that are sold through a global network marketing system of independent distributors (“Associates”). As such, management has determined that the Company operates in one reportable business segment. Performance for a region or market is primarily evaluated based on sales. The Company does not use profitability reports on a regional or market basis for making business decisions. No single Associate accounted for 10% or more of net sales for the periods presented. The table below summarizes the approximate percentage of total product revenue that has been contributed by the Company’s nutritional and personal care products for the periods indicated.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of USANA’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto that are contained in this quarterly report, as well as Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations that are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, 2011, and our other filings, including Current Reports on Form 8-K, that have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) through the date of this report.
Our fiscal year end is the Saturday closest to December 31st of each year. Fiscal year 2011 will end on December 31, 2011, and fiscal year 2010 ended on January 1, 2011.
Overview
We develop and manufacture high-quality, science-based nutritional and personal care products that are distributed internationally through a network marketing system, which is a form of direct selling. Our customer base comprises two types of customers: “Associates” and “Preferred Customers.” Associates are independent distributors of our products who also purchase our products for their personal use. Preferred Customers purchase our products strictly for their personal use and are not permitted to resell or to distribute the products. As of April 2, 2011, we had approximately 213,000 active Associates and approximately 70,000 active Preferred Customers worldwide. For purposes of this report, we only count as active customers those Associates and Preferred Customers who have purchased product from USANA at any time during the most recent three-month period, either for personal use or for resale.
We have ongoing operations in the following markets, which are grouped and presented as follows:
· North America
· United States
· Canada
· Mexico
· Asia Pacific
· Southeast Asia/Pacific — Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, and the Philippines
· Greater China — Hong Kong, Taiwan, and China*
· North Asia — Japan and South Korea
* Our business in China is that of BabyCare, our wholly-owned subsidiary.
Our primary product lines consist of USANAâ Nutritionals, USANA Foods, and Sensé — beautiful scienceâ (Sensé), which is our line of personal care products. The USANA Nutritionals product line is further categorized into two separate classifications: Essentials and Optimizers. The following tables summarize the approximate percentage of total product revenue that has been contributed by our major product lines and our top-selling products for the current and prior-year periods indicated:

Because we utilize a direct selling model for the distribution of our products, the success and growth of our business is primarily based on our ability to attract new Associates and retain existing Associates to sell and consume our products. Additionally, it is important to attract and retain Preferred Customers as consumers of our products. Increases or decreases in product sales are typically the result of variations in product sales volumes relating to fluctuations in the number of active Associates and Preferred Customers purchasing our products. Notably, sales to Associates account for the majority of our product sales, representing 90% of product sales during the quarter ended April 2, 2011. In general, the volume of recurring monthly product purchases by an Associate or a Preferred Customer, in their local currencies, remain relatively constant over time. Accordingly, sales growth in local currencies is driven primarily by an increased number of active Associates and Preferred Customers. The number of active Associates and Preferred Customers is, therefore, used by management as a key non-financial measure.
The tables below summarize the changes in our active customer base by geographic region. These numbers have been rounded to the nearest thousand as of the dates indicated.

We believe that our ability to attract and retain Associates and Preferred Customers to sell and consume our products is influenced by a number of factors. Some of these factors include: the general public’s heightened awareness and understanding of the connection between diet and long-term health, the aging of the worldwide population as older people generally tend to consume more nutritional supplements, and the growing desire for a secondary source of income and small business ownership.
We believe that our high-quality products and our financially rewarding Associate Compensation Plan are the key components to attracting and retaining Associates. We strive to ensure that our products are up-to-date with the latest science in nutrition research and to keep our product lines relatively compact, which we believe simplifies the selling and buying process for our Associates and Preferred Customers. We also periodically make changes to our Compensation Plan in an effort to ensure that our plan is among the most generous in the industry and to encourage behavior that we believe leads to a more successful business for our Associates. There is a risk, however, that such changes may cause an unanticipated shift in Associate behavior, thus harming our business.
To further support our Associates in building their businesses, we sponsor meetings and events throughout the year, which offer information about our products and our network marketing system. These meetings are designed to assist Associates in their business development and to provide a forum for interaction with some of our Associate leaders and members of our management team. We also provide low cost sales tools, including online sales, business management, and training tools, which we believe are an integral part of building and maintaining a successful home-based business for our Associates. Although we provide training and sales tools, we ultimately rely on our Associates to (i) sell our products, (ii) attract new customers to purchase our products; and (iii) educate and train new Associates.
We are currently most focused on the development of China through BabyCare, as well as growing our North American markets during a difficult economic environment. Over the past several years, we have experienced significant growth in our Asia Pacific region, particularly in our Hong Kong market. In light of this growth and our acquisition of BabyCare in China, we believe that we are well positioned for growth in China. For the remainder of the year, we will continue to focus our efforts in Asia Pacific on integrating BabyCare into our business and motivating our successful Asian Associate base to grow BabyCare in China. This includes working with the Chinese government to assist BabyCare in obtaining direct selling licenses in additional Chinese provinces and cities beyond Beijing and registering/introducing USANA products for sale by BabyCare in China. During the first quarter of 2011, we held our Asia Pacific Convention in Hong Kong, where a record 7,800 Associates attended. At this event we updated our Associates on the integration of BabyCare and introduced some of the BabyCare products that now include USANA branding.
Difficult economic conditions continue to present a challenge for our overall business and Associate base, especially in our North American markets. In light of these conditions, a number of our Associates and Preferred Customers have discontinued their product purchases as well as their activity in introducing new customers to our products. Our primary corporate performance objectives for 2011 are heavily weighted on sales and Associate growth in North America. The measures we are implementing to accomplish these objectives include: (i) the introduction and promotion of new training and presentation tools, which we believe are of significant assistance in helping Associates grow their businesses; (ii) efforts to increase our global brand recognition, and (iii) the enhancement of our Associate Rewards and Recognition program.
Because we have operations in multiple markets, with sales and expenses being generated and incurred in multiple currencies, our reported U.S. dollar sales and earnings can be significantly affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates. In general, our reported sales and earnings are affected positively by a weakening of the U.S. dollar and negatively by a strengthening of the U.S. dollar. In our net sales discussions that follow, we approximate the impact of currency fluctuations on net sales by translating current year sales at the average exchange rates in effect during the comparable periods of the prior year.

Results of Operations
Summary of Financial Results
Net sales for the first quarter of 2011 increased $24.5 million to $143.6 million, or 20.6%, when compared with the first quarter of 2010. The most significant items impacting net sales during the first quarter of 2011 were increased product sales volumes resulting from an increase in the number of active Associates in Greater China, and an increase in average product sales volume per new Associate. Our growth in Greater China was led by Hong Kong, where net sales increased 82.7%, or $18.2 million, which includes $3.0 million in sales from our Asia Pacific Convention (we held this event during the first quarter in 2011 and during the second quarter in 2010). Our sales growth in Greater China also includes $5.7 million in net
sales from BabyCare. Additionally, net sales during the quarter benefited from favorable changes in currency exchange rates of approximately $4.2 million. Sales growth was partially offset by a decrease in the number of active Associates in North America and several of our other markets in Asia Pacific.
Net earnings during the first quarter of 2011 increased 17.7% to $11.4 million from $9.6 million in the prior year. This increase was primarily the result of higher net sales, improved gross profit margin, and slightly lower Associate incentives as a percent of net sales. These improvements were largely offset by an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales.

North America: The decrease in local currency net sales in this region was the result of lower product sales volume due to a decrease in the number of active Associates and Preferred Customers in this region. We continue to believe that the lingering difficult economic conditions, particularly in the consumer products segment, have contributed meaningfully to the decrease in active Associates and Preferred Customers in this region.
The decrease in active Associates was partially offset by an increase in customer spending. This increase was primarily due to changes that we made to our compensation, recognition, and rewards programs in the third quarter of 2010.
Asia Pacific: The increase in local currency net sales in this region was the result of higher product sales volume due primarily to an increase in the number of active Associates. This increase came predominantly from Greater China, where growth was led by Hong Kong. The number of active Associates in Hong Kong increased 35.6% year-over-year, and net sales increased 82.7%, or $18.2 million, including the $3.0 million in sales at our Asia Pacific Convention, and approximately $3.0 million in sales related to customer anticipation of a price increase that was implemented at the end of the quarter. Additionally, BabyCare added approximately $5.7 million in net sales, 11,000 active Associates, and 6,000 active Preferred Customer to this region during the first
quarter of 2011. Excluding BabyCare, local currency net sales in this region increased 28.0%, the number of active Associates increased 8.2%, and the number of Preferred Customers increased 12.5%.
Similar to North America, we have seen an increase in customer spending in this region, which has initially helped offset a slowing in the growth rate of active Associates in Hong Kong. Beginning in the second quarter of 2011, we will implement certain strategic changes in Hong Kong, which are intended to promote growth in BabyCare. As we continue to focus on integrating and growing BabyCare in China, we expect that the number of active Associates in Hong Kong will likely begin to decrease during 2011. As such, we expect sales in Hong Kong to decline in 2011, but anticipate an increase in sales in China during 2011. We believe this change will be the result of two key factors. First, we believe that many of our key Associate leaders in Hong Kong, who qualify to do business in both Hong Kong and China, will shift their attention to growing their businesses in China through BabyCare. Second, we believe that many of our Associates in Hong Kong, who are simply consumers of our products, will begin purchasing our products in China as they become available for sale by BabyCare in China. Additionally, it is important to note that the average initial purchase amount per Associate is lower at BabyCare than our other markets. This means that, in the short-term, Hong Kong sales will likely decline at a quicker rate than we expect sales to increase in China.
Although smaller as a percent of sales, we also experienced double-digit local currency sales growth in the Philippines and South Korea. The increase in total Asia Pacific sales, on a local currency basis, was partially offset by an overall decline in sales and Associates in Southeast Asia Pacific, which we believe, similar to North America, is largely the result of difficult economic conditions.
Gross Profit
Gross profit increased to 82.1% of net sales for the first quarter of 2011 from 80.7% for the first quarter of 2010. This increase in gross profit can primarily be attributed to currency benefits, lower relative freight costs on shipments to our customers, leverage gained on increased net sales, and an overall decrease in raw materials cost.
Associate Incentives
As a percentage of net sales, Associate incentives decreased to 45.1% during the first quarter of 2011, compared with 45.4% for the first quarter of 2010. This decrease on a year-over-year basis was primarily a function of the strategic initiative that we implemented during the second quarter of 2010 to reduce Associate incentives expense as a percent of net sales. Additionally, payout under the BabyCare compensation plan is lower than under the USANA compensation plan, which on a year-over-year basis reduced overall Associate incentives as a percentage of net sales.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 25.0% of net sales for the first quarter of 2011, compared with 23.1% for the first quarter of 2010. This relative increase can be attributed to (i) the addition of BabyCare expense, which is significantly higher as a percent of their net sales than the rest of our business, (ii) an increase in spending in the United States on marketing and brand recognition, and (iii) expenses related to our Asia Pacific Convention that was held during the first quarter of 2011 (the same event in 2010 was held during the second quarter).
In absolute terms, our selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $8.4 million for the first quarter of 2011, compared with the first quarter of 2010. The most significant components of this increase in absolute terms were as follows:
· Added costs from our newly acquired BabyCare operation of approximately $2.9 million;
· An increase in wage-related expenses of approximately $1.8 million;
· Expense related to our Asia Pacific convention of approximately $1.6 million;
· An increase in credit card and bank fees of approximately $0.5 million; and
· An increase related to our corporate branding efforts of approximately $0.4 million.
As previously mentioned, we expect sales in Hong Kong to decrease as we continue to focus on integrating and growing BabyCare in China. As a result, we expect a slowing in Greater China sales growth over the next few quarters and a corresponding increase in relative selling, general and administrative expenses.
Diluted Earnings Per Share
Diluted earnings per share increased $0.08, or 12.9%, to $0.70 for the first quarter of 2011, compared with the first quarter of 2010. This increase was due to higher net sales combined with improved gross profit margins and slightly lower Associate incentives expense as a percent of net sales. These improvements were partially offset by an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses and a higher average number of diluted shares outstanding.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have historically met our working capital and capital expenditure requirements by using both net cash flow from operations and by drawing on our line of credit. Our principal source of liquidity is our operating cash flow. There are no material restrictions on our ability to transfer and remit funds among our international markets.
Operating cash flow
We typically generate positive cash flow due to our strong operating margins. During the first quarter of 2011, we had a net cash flow from operating activities of $17.5 million, compared with $15.1 million in the first quarter of 2010. The most significant factor of this change was an increase in net sales.
Line of credit
We have a long-standing relationship with Bank of America. For the last few years, we have maintained a $40.0 million credit facility pursuant to a credit agreement with Bank of America. On April 27, 2011, we entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Bank of America, which, among other things, extends the term of our credit facility through May 2016 and increases the amount that we may borrow under the credit facility to $60.0 million.
The agreement for this new credit facility contains restrictive covenants, which require us to maintain a consolidated rolling four-quarter adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“adjusted EBITDA”) equal to or greater than $60.0 million, and a ratio of consolidated funded debt to adjusted EBITDA of 2.0 to 1.0 at the end of each quarter. The adjusted EBITDA under this agreement is modified for certain non-cash expenses. Management is not aware of any issues currently impacting Bank of America’s ability to honor their commitment to extend credit under this facility.
Working capital
Cash and cash equivalents increased to $32.7 million at April 2, 2011, from $24.2 million at January 1, 2011. Net working capital increased to $29.4 million at April 2, 2011, from $22.6 million at January 1, 2011. This increase in net working capital was due mostly to net cash provided by operating activities partially offset by share repurchase. Additionally, our cash balance at January 1, 2011 had been reduced by payments on our line of credit.
Share repurchase
We have a share repurchase plan that has been ongoing since the fourth quarter of 2000. Our Board of Directors has periodically approved additional dollar amounts for share repurchases under that plan. Share repurchases are made from time-to-time, in the open market, through block trades or otherwise, and are based on market conditions, the level of cash balances, general business opportunities, and other factors. During the first quarter of 2011, we repurchased and retired 251 thousand shares of common stock for a total of $8.5 million, at an average market price of $33.99 per share. There currently is no expiration date on the remaining approved repurchase amount of $23.2 million and no requirement for future share repurchases.
Summary
We believe that current cash balances, future cash provided by operations, and amounts available under our line of credit will be sufficient to cover our operating and capital needs in the ordinary course of business for the foreseeable future. If we experience an adverse operating environment or unusual capital expenditure requirements, additional financing may be required. No assurance can be given, however, that additional financing, if required, would be available or on favorable terms. We might also require or seek additional financing for the purpose of expanding into new markets, growing our existing markets, or for other reasons. Such financing may include the use of additional debt or the sale of additional equity securities. Any financing which involves the sale of equity securities or instruments that are convertible into equity securities could result in immediate and possibly significant dilution to our existing shareholders.
Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our earnings, cash flows, and financial position are affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates, interest rates, and other uncertainties that are inherent in doing business and selling product in more than one currency. In addition, our operations are exposed to risks that are associated with changes in social, political, and economic conditions in our international operations. This includes changes in the laws and policies that govern investment in international countries where we have operations, as well as, to a lesser extent, changes in United States laws and regulations relating to international trade and investment.
Foreign Currency Risks. Net sales outside the United States represented 68.4% and 74.2% of our net sales in the quarters ended April 3, 2010 and April 2, 2011, respectively. Because the majority of our sales are generated outside the United States, currency exchange rate fluctuations may have a significant effect on our sales and earnings. This risk is partially mitigated by the fact that our sales are spread across 15 countries, with Hong Kong (where the local currency is tied to the U.S. dollar) being our largest international market, at 28.0% of net sales in the quarter ended April 2, 2011, followed by Canada at 12.1%. The local currency of each international subsidiary is considered the functional currency, with all revenue and expenses being translated at weighted-average currency exchange rates for the applicable periods. In general, our reported sales and earnings are affected positively by a weakening of the U.S. dollar and negatively by a strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to the currencies in the countries where we have operations. Changes in currency exchange rates may also affect our product margins, because we manufacture the majority of our products in the U.S. and sell them to our international subsidiaries in their respective functional currencies. We are unable to reasonably estimate the effect that currency fluctuations may have on our future business, results of operations, or financial condition. This is due to the uncertainty in and the varying degrees and type of exposure that we face from fluctuations in various currencies.
At times we have sought to reduce exposure to fluctuations in currency exchange rates by creating offsetting positions through the use of currency exchange contracts on cash that we repatriate. We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We have also considered the costs and benefits of managing currency impacts on net sales and certain balance sheet items. There can be no assurance that our practices will be successful in eliminating all or substantially all of the risks that may be encountered in connection with our currency transactions. As of April 2, 2011, we had no currency exchange contracts in place.
Following are the average exchange rates of currency units to one U.S. dollar for each of our international markets for the periods indicated:

Interest Rate Risks. As of April 2, 2011, we had no outstanding debt, and therefore, we currently have no direct exposure to interest rate risk. We do, however, maintain a line of credit with Bank of America, which contains, among other things, interest rates that have been set pursuant to that agreement.
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information that is required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods that are specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding any required disclosure. In designing and evaluating these disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a- 15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of April 2, 2011.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended April 2, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
