Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Overview
The Company produces a line of food products including nutritional
supplements, diet management products, and sports drink mixes. The Company also
sells a line of skin care products. These products are sold by subsidiaries of
the Company to a sales force of independent distributors 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/New
Zealand, Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom/Ireland, the Philippines, Malaysia,
and Singapore. As of June 30, 2004, the Company had approximately 67,900
distributors worldwide.
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. The net sales price is the suggested retail
price less the distributor discount of 20 percent to 40 percent of such
suggested retail price. Sales revenue and commission expenses are recorded when
the merchandise is shipped. In the six-month period ended June 30, 2004, sales
in the United States made up approximately 87% of worldwide net sales, with the
remainder from our international operations. This compares to 86% for all of
2003. The sales breakdown by country is given in greater detail in the "Net
Sales by Region" table below.
Cost of products sold primarily consists of expenses related to raw
materials, labor, quality control, and overhead directly associated with the
production and distribution of products and sales materials, as well as shipping
costs, duties, and taxes associated with product exports.
2
Distributor royalties and commissions are paid to Master Affiliates
monthly, based on the sales of their distributor organization in the prior
month. These expenses are governed by the distributor agreements. Also included
in this expense item are other sales leadership bonuses that are directly
related to the level of sales.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses include compensation and
benefits, all other selling expenses, marketing, promotional expenses, travel,
and other corporate administrative expenses.
1. Financial Condition
The Company generated $3,628,000 of net cash during the first six months
of 2004 from operating activities and used $2,733,000 in financing activities.
This compares to $2,400,000 of net cash provided by operating activities and
$1,026,000 was provided by financing activities in the first six months of 2003.
Cash and cash equivalents increased by $493,000 to $7,410,000 as of June 30,
2004, compared to December 31, 2003.
Significant changes in working capital items were an increase in inventory
of $1,410,000, and an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of
$222,000. These were offset by an increase in accounts payable and accrued
expenses of $2,476,000 in the first six months of 2004. The increase in
inventory is needed to support the increased sales levels of the Company, plus
provide a safety stock for a planned production shutdown for approximately three
weeks in late July and early August 2004. This shutdown is needed to install
equipment to upgrade the capacity and improve the automation of the Company's
production line. The increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets is
due to prepayments for future promotional trips and for policy payments for
various types of business insurance to be expensed over the lives of the
policies. The increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses corresponds with
the increase in inventory, coupled with the increase in distributor commissions
payable at June 30, 2004, compared to December 31, 2003. This increase in
distributor commissions payable is the result of higher worldwide sales in June
2004, compared to December 2003.
The Company's net investing activities in the first six months of 2004
consisted of $1,348,000 for capital expenditures. The majority of these capital
expenditures are part of the previously announced upgrade of the Company's
manufacturing facility. Financing activities in the first six months of 2004
included the redemption of the remaining preferred stock issued in 2003 of
$975,000, $460,000 in cash dividends paid on the Company's common stock in May
2004, and $1,294,000 in purchases of treasury stock. Most of this treasury stock
was purchased from related parties and is described in greater detail in Note 8
of the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company also received $132,000 in
proceeds from the exercise of options.
Stockholders' equity increased to $13,398,000 at June 30, 2004, compared
with $13,072,000 at December 31, 2003. The increase is primarily due to the net
income in the first six months of 2004 of the Company, reduced by the preferred
stock redemption, cash dividends, and treasury stock purchases described above.
Stockholders' equity was also negatively impacted by the slight strengthening of
the U.S. dollar against a number of the currencies in which the
3
Company has operations during the first six months of 2004. This impact appears
in the form of an increase in the foreign currency translation adjustment, which
is reflected in accumulated other comprehensive loss. This cumulative adjustment
worsened from an accumulated loss of $715,000 as of December 31, 2003, to an
accumulated loss of $807,000, as of June 30, 2004.
The Company's working capital balance was $6,410,000 at June 30, 2004,
compared to $7,256,000 at December 31, 2003. The current ratio at June 30, 2004
was 1.70, compared to 2.01 at previous year-end. In March 2004, the Company
renewed the term loan on its headquarters facility of approximately $3.5 million
and extended the maturity of the loan until March 2007. In addition, the Company
consolidated other loans related to this building totaling approximately
$350,000 into this renewed loan. The Company also has an operating line of
credit, with a limit based on a collateral-based formula of accounts receivable
and inventory. The maximum borrowing limit is $1,000,000, with a variable
interest rate equal to the prime rate. At June 30, 2004, the Company had not
utilized any of the line of credit, with approximately $940,000 available under
the line based on the Company's borrowing base formula. Also, in February 2004,
the Company entered into a standby equity distribution agreement, which will
provide the Company with up to $5 million of funding from the sale of its common
stock. This agreement is described in greater detail in Note 6 of the
Consolidated Financial Statements.
Early in 2004, the Board of Directors approved a capital expenditure plan
of $1 million to upgrade the production equipment in the Company's manufacturing
facility. As of June 30, 2004, most of this equipment had been paid for from
cash generated from operations. Also in May 2004, the Board of Directors
declared a three-cent per common share cash dividend, in what the Company plans
to be a semi-annual cash dividend payment plan. Management believes that the
Company's cash flow from operations, the borrowing capacity under the line of
credit agreement, and the standby equity distribution agreement will be
sufficient to meet working capital requirements and fund the capital expenditure
plans for the remainder of 2004 and 2005.
2. Results of Operations
The Company had net income available to common shareholders of $1,201,000
($0.08 per share basic and $0.07 per share diluted) for the quarter ended June
30, 2004, compared to net income available to common shareholders of $909,000
($0.06 per share basic and $0.05 per share diluted) for the same period in 2003.
For the six months ended June 30, 2004, the Company had net income available to
common shareholders of $2,830,000 ($0.19 per share basic, $0.17 per share
diluted), compared to $1,886,000 ($0.13 per share basic, $0.11 per share
diluted) in the same period in 2003. Earnings per common share for 2003 have
been adjusted for the Company's five-for-four stock split declared in September
2003. Profitability continued to improve substantially as net sales in the
second quarter of 2004 improved worldwide by 34%, led by a similar increase in
net sales in the United States, the Company's primary market.

The following table illustrates the Company's active distributors and
Master Affiliates as of June 30, 2004 and 2003. The total amount of distributors
also includes the Master Affiliates. The Company defines an active distributor
as one that enrolls as a distributor or renews their distributorship during the
prior twelve months. Growth in the number of active distributors and Master
Affiliates is a key factor in continuing the growth of the business.

========================================================== ===========================
In the United States, new distributor enrollments, strong retention, and
strong growth in the number of Master Affiliates continue to be factors in the
increased sales in this market. In the second quarter of 2004, approximately
6,100 new distributors were enrolled, as compared to approximately 5,100 in the
same period of 2003. Distributor retention was approximately 56%, compared to an
historical rate of 55%. The number of distributors reaching Master Affiliate,
the highest level of discount a distributor can attain, has also continued to
improve in the United States. In the second quarter of 2004, over 1,800
distributors achieved Master Affiliate status, as compared to approximately
1,100 in the same period of 2003. The trends in all of these key distributor
force statistics are consistent with, or slightly better than those comparisons
in the first quarter of 2004. The Company attributes the increase in sales and
other sales statistics in part to the momentum created by the consistency and
reinforcement of its training programs and business opportunity presentations,
in the form of regional distributor conferences and other corporate-sponsored
meetings. Beginning in early 2003, the Company replaced its winter conference
with a series of regional conferences in areas of significant distributor groups
in order to present the Reliv product line and business opportunity to more
people. These activities have resulted in more experienced and productive
distributors reaching the Master Affiliate level.
During the second quarter of 2004, sales in the Company's international
subsidiaries continue to show mixed results. In the aggregate, international
sales increased by 37% to $3,446,000 in the second quarter of 2004, compared to
$2,507,000 in the second quarter of 2003. Excluding sales of $1,019,000 in the
new markets of Malaysia and Singapore in the second quarter of 2004,
international sales declined by 3%. For the six months ended June 30, 2004,
international sales were up 18%, compared to the same period in 2003.
Sales in the markets of Canada, Australia/New Zealand, and the UK
increased by at least 23% in each of these markets during the second quarter of
2004, versus the same period in 2003. The weakening of the United States dollar
compared to the currencies in these markets over the course of 2003 accounts for
$89,000 of the $232,000 increase in second quarter 2004 sales in these markets.
On a constant-dollar basis, sales in these markets improved by 17% in both the
second quarter and first six months of 2004, compared to the same periods in
2003. Sales in these markets continues to show improvement as the Company has
completed its changes to the
6
distributor compensation plan and continues to implement its training and
distributor development system in these markets.
Mexican sales decreased 27% in the second quarter of 2004, compared to the
same period in 2003. Although new distributor enrollments increased by 15% in
the second quarter of 2004, new Master Affiliate qualifications declined by 26%.
Sales in the Philippines in the second quarter of 2004 decreased by 9%, compared
to the same period in 2003. These two markets continue to implement changes in
the business model, and these changes have had an impact on the sales in these
markets.
In the second quarter of 2004, sales were $1,019,000 in the Company's
newest markets, Malaysia and Singapore. Sales began in Malaysia in September
2003, and in Singapore in late March 2004. Malaysia has become the Company's
second largest market, in terms of sales.
The following table summarizes selected items from the consolidated
statement of operations, expressed as a percentage of net sales, for the periods
indicated, and should be read in conjunction with the discussion of the
components of the consolidated statements of operations that follow:
Selected data from the Consolidated Three Months Ended Six Months Ended
Statements of Operations June 30 June 30
2004 2003 2004 2003
------------------- -------------------
Cost of products sold 16.8% 16.9% 16.6% 17.3%
Distributor royalties and commissions 40.0% 38.9% 39.9% 38.9%
Selling, general, and administrative 34.8% 35.6% 33.4% 34.8%
Provision for income taxes 3.4% 3.5% 4.0% 3.6%
Net income 5.0% 5.2% 6.0% 5.2%
Cost of products sold as a percentage of net sales was 16.8% in the second
quarter of 2004, as compared to 16.9% in the second quarter of 2003. The
decrease in the percentage of cost of goods sold is the result of greater
efficiencies gained in the production facility from increased production levels
needed to support the growth in sales. Efficiencies are being gained as
production levels have increased with minimal staffing increases and improved
coverage of the fixed manufacturing costs.
Distributor royalties and commissions as a percentage of net sales were
40.0% and 38.9% in the second quarter of 2004 and 2003, respectively. These
expenses are governed by the distributor agreements and are directly related to
the level of sales. The increase is primarily the result of the changes to the
distributor compensation plan in Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia/New
Zealand over the course of 2003. These changes resulted in commission payments
being made on the full retail value of the products sold, and the full effect of
these changes impacted the first six months of 2004. Also, as the Company opened
up new markets in Malaysia, last September, and Singapore, in March 2004, those
markets paid commissions on the
7
full retail value of the products at the time of opening. As a result, more of
the Company's international sales are weighted towards full retail commission
payments.
Selling, general and administrative (SGA) expenses increased $1,992,000 in
the second quarter of 2004, as compared to the second quarter of 2003. SGA
expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased to 34.8% in the second quarter
of 2004 compared to 35.6% in the second quarter of 2003. Of the total increase,
$375,000 was from the SGA expenses of Malaysia and Singapore in the second
quarter of 2004, as sales had not yet begun in these countries by the second
quarter of 2003. The balance of the increase in the SGA of the remaining markets
was made up of several components. Sales expenses represented approximately
$651,000 of the increase. Some of the components were increased credit card fees
due to the higher sales volume; increased conference call expenses, as the
Company has implemented its use of this training and communications tool; and
additional promotional bonuses. Marketing expenses have increased by $204,000,
primarily in promotional trip expenses, and warehouse and distribution expenses
have increased by $45,000 as the result of higher sales volumes.
General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $717,000.
The largest single component of this increase was an increase of approximately
$288,000 in accounting fees and other accounting-related services. Most of this
increase is the result of management's documentation and assessment of the
internal control environment required under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act. Because of the rapid increase in the Company's stock price over the first
six months of 2004, the Company has recently become an "Accelerated Filer". As a
result, the period of time in which the Company has to perform this internal
control assessment is compressed. The Company will have expenses on this project
in the third and fourth quarter. Much of these costs will be one-time expenses,
as part of the first year of compliance and testing under the Act. The other key
components of the increase are in salaries and bonuses, fringe benefit expenses,
business insurance, international development expenses, increased travel
expenses, and increases in other costs of being a publicly-held company.
The Company recorded income tax expense of $802,000 for the second quarter
of 2004, an effective rate of 40.0%. In the second quarter of 2003, the Company
recorded income tax expense of $629,000, an effective rate of 40.3%. For the six
months ended June 30, 2004, the Company's effective tax rate was 40.2%, compared
to 40.8% in the same period of 2003. The slightly higher rate in 2003 is
primarily due to non-deductible losses in some of the Company's foreign markets,
including Malaysia.
Critical Accounting Policies
A summary of our critical accounting policies and estimates is presented
on page 35 of our 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on March 26, 2004.

Safe Harbor Provision of the Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995 and
Forward Looking Statements.
The statements contained in Item 2 (Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operation) that are not historical facts
may be forward-looking statements (as such term is defined in the rules
promulgated pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that are subject to
a variety of risks and uncertainties. The forward-looking statements are based
on the beliefs of the Company's management, as well as assumptions made by, and
information currently available to the Company's management. Accordingly, these
statements are subject to significant risks, uncertainties and contingencies
which could cause the Company's actual growth, results, performance and business
prospects and opportunities in 2004 and beyond to differ materially from those
expressed in, or implied by, any such forward-looking statements. Wherever
possible, words such as "anticipate," "plan," "expect," "believe," "estimate,"
and similar expressions have been used to identify these forward-looking
statements, but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements.
These risks, uncertainties and contingencies include, but are not limited to,
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 detailed in the Company's other SEC filings.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures of Market Risk
The Company is exposed to various market risks, primarily foreign currency
risks and interest rate risks.
Foreign Currency Risk
The Company's earnings and cash flows are subject to fluctuations due to
changes in foreign currency rates as it has several foreign subsidiaries and
continues to explore expansion into other foreign countries. As a result,
exchange rate fluctuations may have an effect on sales and gross margins.
Accounting practices require that the Company's results from operations be
converted to U.S. dollars for reporting purposes. Consequently, the reported
earnings of the Company in future periods 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
the Company for sale to the Company's foreign subsidiaries are transacted in
U.S. dollars.
The Company enters into foreign exchange forward contracts with a
financial institution to sell Canadian dollars in order to protect against
currency exchange risk associated with expected future cash flows. The Company
has accounted for these contracts as free standing derivatives, such that gains
or losses on the fair market value of these forward exchange contracts are
recorded as other income and expense in the consolidated statements of
operations. The net changes in the fair value of these forward contracts as of
June 30, 2004 was a cumulative expense $53,000. As of June 30, 2004, the Company
had no hedging instruments in place to
9
offset exposure to the Australian or New Zealand dollars, Mexican or Philippine
pesos, or the British pound.
There have been no other material changes in market risk exposures during
the first six months of 2004 that affect the disclosures presented in Item 7A -
"Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures Regarding Market Risk" on pages 36 and
37 of our 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on March 26, 2004.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Our principal
executive officer and principal financial officer, after evaluating the
effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange
Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of June 30, 2004, have concluded that, as
of such date our disclosure controls and procedures were adequate and effective
to ensure that material information relating to the Company would be made known
to them by others within the Company.
(b) Changes in internal controls. During the second quarter of 2004, there
were no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that
could significantly affect the Company's disclosure controls and procedures
subsequent to the date of their evaluation, nor were there any significant
deficiencies or material weaknesses in the Company's internal controls. As a
result, no corrective actions were required or undertaken.

Item 5. Other Information
The Company notes that in September 2003 and again in January 2004,
it received communications from the Secretary of State of Illinois, Securities
Department. In a September 2003 letter, the Securities Division inquired,
without concluding, whether the Company may have made certain misrepresentations
and/or omissions concerning the background of unidentified Reliv' officers
and/or directors. It sought information and flowcharts regarding Reliv'
officers, board members and various committees. In a January 2004 Subpoena, the
State sought specific information regarding former Reliv' "outside" Board
member, Marvin Solomonson. This information included, but was not limited to,
information about Solomonson's background, training, credentials, compensation,
and any investigation by the Company of Solomonson and disclosures regarding
these.
The Company provided timely information to the Secretary of State
regarding all these matters. Since its reply, the State has sought no further
information. No action of any kind has been taken by the State. The Company also
notes the following. On December 27, 2000, Solomonson entered into a Consent
Order of Prohibition and Fine ("COPF") with the Division of Securities. Pursuant
to this COPF, Solomonson was fined $2,000, censured, required to sell securities
only in conformance with the Securities Act, and, without admitting or denying
any matter, was determined to have violated Section 12.C of the Illinois
Securities Act by selling an investment certificate after his Illinois
securities registration had terminated.
The Certifications of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial
Officer of Registrant Pursuant to Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002
are attached as Exhibits to this Report on Form 10-Q.

These statements, however, do not include all information and
footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial
position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Interim results may not necessarily be indicative of results that
may be expected for any other interim period or for the year as a
whole. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes included
in the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2003, filed March 26, 2004 with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

Note 4-- Comprehensive Income
Total comprehensive income was $1,082,067 and $2,750,443 for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively. For the
three and six months ended June 30, 2003, comprehensive income was
$1,022,568 and $2,038,907, respectively. The Company's only
component of other comprehensive income is the foreign currency
translation adjustment.
Note 5-- Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation plans under
the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related
Interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost is
reflected in net income, as all options granted under those plans
had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying
common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates
the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had
applied the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No.
123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based
employee compensation.

Note 6-- Standby Equity Distribution Agreement
In February 2004, the Company entered into a Standby Equity
Distribution Agreement ("SEDA") with an investment firm. Under the
SEDA, the investment firm has committed to provide up to $5 million
of funding to be drawn down at the Company's discretion by the
purchase of the Company's common stock. The Company may request up
to $210,000 in any seven-day period in exchange for issuing shares
of its common stock to the investment firm. The facility may be used
in whole or in part entirely at the Company's discretion, subject to
an effective registration of the related shares. As of June 30,
2004, no shares have been issued or funds received by the Company
under this agreement.
Note 7-- Redemption of Preferred Stock
On March 31, 2003, the Company sold an aggregate of 150,000 shares
of preferred stock to three officer/directors. The terms of the sale
of these preferred shares have been previously disclosed in the
Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2003.
In February 2004, the Company redeemed 15,000 shares from each
officer/director for a total redemption of 45,000 shares at a value
of $450,000. In April 2004, the Company redeemed the remaining
17,500 shares from each officer/director for a total redemption of
52,500 shares at a value of $525,000.
Note 8-- Related Party Tranactions
In January 2004, the Company purchased a total of 116,564 shares of
the Company's common stock from three officer/directors and one
director. The total cost of the purchases was $607,178, for a
weighted average purchase price of $5.21 per share. In April 2004,
the Company purchased a total of 75,000 shares of the Company's
common stock from two officer/directors. The total cost of the
purchases was $686,802, for a weighted average purchase price of
$9.16 per share. The price per share of each purchase was based on a
discount from the market price per share at the time of purchase in
order to approximate the dilutive impact of their shares on the open
market.
Note 9-- Cash Dividend Declaration
On May 4, 2004, the Company announced that the Board of Directors
had declared a dividend of three cents ($0.03) per common share to
all shareholders of record as of May 17, 2004, that was paid on May
31, 2004.
The declaration of future dividends will be determined by the Board
of Directors from time to time taking into account the results of
operations, conditions, financial requirements of the Company and
other factors. The Board of Directors may change the amount and
timing of dividend distributions, at their discretion.
