Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
---------------------------------------------------------------
Results of Operation
--------------------
1. Financial Condition
-------------------
The current assets of the Company increased during the first quarter 1997, to
$7,680,000 from $6,553,000 as of December 31, 1996. Cash and cash equivalents
increased $1,107,000 to $3,216,000 as of March 31, 1997, due to first quarter
1997 income before taxes of $1,350,000. Accounts receivable decreased to
$896,000 at March 31, 1997, from $1,056,000 at December 31, 1996 as a result of
a decrease in sales of the Company's contract packaging services, which are
generally paid on 30-day terms. Contract manufacturing sales declined to
$751,000 for the quarter as compared to $1,147,000 in the fourth quarter 1996.
Inventories increased to $3,074,000 from $2,762,000 at December 31, 1996, as
increased sales volumes in the United States required greater finished goods
levels.
Net property, plant and equipment remained relatively level during the first
quarter 1997 at $4,852,000. Investment in property, plant and equipment will
increase during 1997 as the Company plans to expand its facility on land the
Company owns adjacent to its existing building in Chesterfield, Missouri. Plans
include expanding office, warehousing and manufacturing areas by adding
approximately 90,000 square feet of space to its facility. Construction is
anticipated to begin during the second quarter 1997.
Current liabilities increased to $4,645,000 at March 31, 1997, from $3,866,000
at December 31, 1996. Trade accounts payable decreased slightly to $1,612,000
from $1,689,000 at December 31, 1996. Distributor commissions payable increased
$543,000 as a result of increased sales volume in March, 1997, as compared to
December, 1996. As a result of increased net income in the first quarter 1997,
income taxes payable increased to $323,000 as of March 31, 1997, from $65,000 as
of December 31, 1996.
2
The Company's working capital balance has improved by $348,000 since December
31, 1996, with a current ratio of 1.65 due to the net profits generated by the
Company in the first quarter. The Company anticipates that its cash, working
capital balance and existing credit will be adequate to meet its operating needs
in the future, based on current and projected revenue levels.
2. Results of Operations
---------------------
The Company had a net profit of $819,000, or $.08 per share, for the quarter
ended March 31, 1997, compared to a net profit of $278,000, or $.03 per share,
for the same period of 1996. Net sales for the period increased to $12,670,000
from $9,304,000 in 1996. Net sales in 1997 were comprised of $11,919,000 in
network marketing sales and $751,000 in contract packaging services, as compared
to $8,535,000 in network marketing sales and $769,000 in contract packaging
services in 1996.
The Company provides contract packaging services, including blending,
processing and packaging food products in accordance with specifications
provided by its customers. Net sales in the first quarter 1997 were $751,000,
with direct costs of contract services of 75.7%, compared to $769,000 and direct
costs of 108% in the first quarter 1996. The Company has lowered direct costs
as a percentage of net sales through efficiencies in the manufacturing process
and anticipates continued improved margins.
The increase in net sales from network marketing activities to $11,919,000 in
the first quarter of 1997, was primarily due to growth in net sales in the
United States to $10,540,000 as compared to $6,980,000 in 1996. The distributor
sales force in the United States grew due to an increase of 6% in new sign-ups
and a 84% increase in distributor renewals when compared to the quarter ending
March 31, 1996. The number of product orders increased by 49% over 1996 levels.
Net sales in Canada increased 61% over 1996 to $275,000. Net sales in Australia
and New Zealand decreased 29% to $909,000. The Company plans to introduce
several new products in these markets in 1997, and has introduced a new
marketing effort to develop sales and momentum.
Cost of network marketing products sold as a percentage of net sales, improved
to 16.5% for the first quarter of 1997, from 20.4% in the same period in 1996.
The improvement in gross margins is a result of improved manufacturing controls
and increased utilization of the manufacturing facility by providing contract
packaging services.
Distributor royalties and commissions increased to 37.0% of network marketing
sales in the first quarter 1997, compared to 35.2% for the same period in 1996.
These expenses are governed by the distributor agreements and are directly
related to the level of sales. The Company pays a percent of sales up to 18% in
royalties and as much as 45% in commissions. In addition, the Company paid
royalties of $180,000 through the Ambassador Program, an incentive program that
rewards distributors who have reached, and personally assisted qualified
distributors to reach, a specified level of compensation. The Ambassador
Program paid $94,000 in the first quarter 1996.
Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of net sales,
decreased slightly to 34.6% for the first quarter of 1997, from 34.9% in the
same period in 1996. Expenses in the first quarter 1997 were affected by
several expenses that do not reoccur on a quarterly basis. These expenses
included the costs of a national conference in the United States and a sales
incentive trip
3
which increased selling, general and administrative expenses by 1.7% of net
sales as compared to 1996.
Forward looking statements made in this filing involve material risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results and events to differ materially
from those set forth, or implied, including the Company's ability to continue to
attract, maintain and motivate its distributors, changes in the regulatory
environment affecting network marketing sales and sales of food and dietary
supplements and other risks and uncertainties in the Company's other SEC
filings.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of

financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have

On January 31, 1997, the Company declared a 10 percent stock dividend on

on the closing price of $6.50 per share on the declaration date and was
