CAUTIONARY STATEMENT CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This prospectus contains forward-looking statements concerning our financial condition, results of operations and business, including, without limitation, statements pertaining to: the development and testing of new products and the expansion of the market for our current products; the receipt of royalty payments from our agreements with business partners; implementing aspects of our business plans; financing goals and plans; our existing cash and whether and how long these funds will be sufficient to fund our operations; and our raising of additional capital through future equity financings. These and other forward-looking statements are primarily in the sections entitled Risk Factors, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations and Business.
Generally, you can identify these statements because they use phrases like anticipates, believes, expects, future, intends, plans,
and similar terms. These statements are only predictions. Although we do not make forward-looking statements unless we believe we have a reasonable basis for doing so, we cannot guarantee their accuracy,
and actual results may differ materially from those we anticipated due to a number of uncertainties, many of which are unforeseen. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements,
which apply only as of the date of this prospectus. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements for many reasons, including, among others, the risks we face as described
in the section entitled Risk Factors and elsewhere in this prospectus. We believe it is important to communicate our expectations to our investors. There may be events in the future, however, that we are unable to predict accurately or over which we have no control. The risk factors listed in the section entitled Risk Factors, as well as any cautionary language in this prospectus, provide examples of risks, uncertainties and events that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations we describe in our forward-looking statements. Before you invest in our common stock, you should be aware that the occurrence of the events described in the section entitled Risk Factors and elsewhere in this prospectus could negatively impact our business, operating results, financial condition and common stock price. We are not obligated to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events discussed in this prospectus and other statements made from time to time from us or our representatives, might not occur

SUMMARY The items in the following summary are described in more detail later in this prospectus. This summary provides an overview of selected information and does not contain all the information you should consider. Therefore, you should also read the more detailed information contained in this prospectus, including the financial statements. About This Offering We are registering shares of our common stock for resale from time to time by the Selling Stockholders. In August and September 2003, we issued in a private placement an aggregate of 3,208,556 shares of common stock, together with warrants exercisable for an aggregate of 1,604,278 shares of common stock to certain of the Selling Stockholders. In addition, we have issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 154,853 shares of common stock as compensation to certain of the Selling Stockholders. The shares and warrants were issued in units of two shares and one warrant. Each warrant is exercisable for one share of common stock. Investors paid $0.935 for each unit, which price represented a 15% discount from the market price of two shares, calculated over a ten day period as of the initial closing. We received net cash proceeds after broker and finder's fees of approximately $1,345,000 from the private placement.
These proceeds were used for working capital and general corporate purposes. The shares offered for resale hereunder include shares that are presently outstanding and shares that are issuable upon the exercise of warrants. The Selling Stockholders purchased the shares and warrants in a private placement or received them as compensation. The Selling Stockholders and the specific number of shares that they each may resell through this prospectus are listed beginning on page 13. The shares offered for resale by this prospectus include the following: 2,289,289 shares that are presently outstanding and owned by the Selling Stockholders; and 792,330 shares that may be acquired by the Selling Stockholders upon the exercise of the warrants. This prospectus may only be used where it is legal to offer and sell the shares covered by this prospectus. We have not taken any action to register or obtain permission for this offering or the distribution of this prospectus in any country other than the United States. The number of shares outstanding before and after this offering are set forth below: Common stock outstanding before the offering 13,486,426 shares Common stock to be outstanding after the offering 14,278,756 shares The number set forth above for the shares of our common stock outstanding before this offering is the number of shares outstanding on October 2, 2007. The number of shares of common stock outstanding after this offering is based on the number of shares outstanding before the offering plus 792,330 shares that are issuable to the Selling Stockholders upon the exercise of the warrants purchased in the private placement. About Our Company We are a nutrition technology company that was incorporated in the state of Delaware in April 1995. Our mission is to discover, develop, and commercialize nutritional products to improve health, manage chronic disease, and enhance existing therapies that are patentable and are substantiated by well-controlled clinical trials conducted at leading university research centers. Our principal areas of focus include sports performance, weight loss, and management of Type II diabetes. Our products can be marketed without prior approval from the Food and Drug Administration, which we sometimes refer to as the FDA, under current regulatory guidelines. We employ multiple strategies for the commercialization of our technologies: 1) launch a brand via highly targeted consumer channels, 2) license the technology to a major food or drug company, or 3) a combination of both the methods described in 1) and 2). We are focused on developing patented protein-based nutrition products using two core technology platforms. One platform involves the activation of biochemical pathways by specific nutritional compositions to enhance muscle growth, energy, and transport pathways. Using this nutritional technology platform, our research efforts have been directed to product development for 1) improving exercise performance, 2) post-surgical muscle recovery, and 3) oral rehydration. The second technology platform involves stimulation of specific satiety peptides that are released in the stomach. Using this nutritional technology platform, our research efforts have been directed in development of 1) appetite suppression and weight loss, and 2
2) management of Type II diabetes. Activation of Muscle Growth, Energy, and Transport Pathways Exercise Performance Our research into factors influencing exercise performance and muscle growth and recovery has led to the development and commercialization of a new generation of sports and recovery drinks. The key to our technology is the specific ratio in which protein is combined with carbohydrate. We have two patents on this technology and over 18 studies have been published demonstrating that products based on this technology can extend endurance, reduce muscle damage, improve rehydration, and accelerate muscle recovery. Our research in exercise performance has led to the introduction and commercialization of a number of products for the aerobic and strength training athlete. These include: ENDUROX EXCEL® - Introduced in March 1997 ENDUROX R(4)® Recovery Drink Introduced in February 1999 ACCELERADE® Sports Drink Introduced in June 2001 ACCEL GEL® Introduced in February 2004 On February 22, 2006, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement of the same date, we sold to Motts LLP, a division of Cadbury Schweppes Americas Beverages (CSAB), the patents, trademarks, web sites, and other intellectual property related to the our ACCELERADE® and ENDUROX ® sports nutrition product lines for $4,000,000 in cash and potential future royalty payments. Simultaneously, we entered into a License Agreement with CSAB giving us the exclusive, royalty free right to continue to sell our sports nutrition products in powder, gel and pill form. Consequently, we will continue to sell our current sports nutrition products in the same manner as prior to the sale of the intellectual property assets. In June 2007, CSAB launched ACCELERADE® in ready to drink form (RTD). We will receive royalty payments for a finite period, subject to an annual limitation on the amount of the royalty. However, it is too early for us to determine if we will receive significant revenue from CSAB. Post-Surgical Muscle Recovery Scientific insights emanating from our discoveries in sports nutrition have led to a potentially new and exciting medical application. Individuals undergoing orthopedic surgery, particularly involving the shoulder, hip or knee, experience muscle atrophy that occurs as a normal consequence of muscle immobilization in the post-surgery period. The degree of muscle atrophy a patient experiences significantly impacts health care costs and quality of life. We are currently evaluating a novel nutritional formulation that has the potential of slowing muscle atrophy following a period of forced immobilization. Such a product could have enormous benefit for the 1.6 million patients who undergo arthroscopy and muscle and knee replacement operations each year, and the 5 million patients who suffer a sports related injury. A clinical study to examine the effectiveness of this formulation is underway. We have filed one
patent on this technology and plan to file additional patents in the future. Oral Rehydration Another scientific byproduct of our research on the effects of protein has been the identification of nutritional formulas that can enhance sodium transport. Such products would have widespread medical application in treating dehydration commonly associated with vomiting and diarrhea. We will continue our studies and may file patents for this indication in 2007. Activation of Satiety Peptides Weight Loss Satiety peptides have been shown to reduce food intake and suppress appetite in humans. Our research has specifically focused on developing nutritional formulations that can stimulate cholecystokin (CCK), one the bodys primary satiety peptides. CCK is normally released after a meal, particularly one high in fat and protein. CCK is often called the feel full protein because when it is released it gives a feeling of fullness and signals the brain to terminate the meal. The objective of our research is to develop a nutritional composition that stimulates and extends the duration of action of CCK in a calorically efficient way, i.e. to cause a release of CCK with 45-50 calories of specific nutrients rather than 1,000 calories. The first product we commercialized using this technology was SATIETROL® that was released in April 2000. This was followed by the introduction of a meal replacement product called SATIETROL COMPLETE® in January 2001. Clinical
3
studies showed that both of these products could reduce hunger and reduce caloric intake. In June 2001, we signed an exclusive worldwide agreement with GlaxoSmithKline, which we sometimes refer to as GSK, for our weight loss technology. Under this agreement, we received an initial payment of $1,000,000 and received a subsequent milestone payment of $250,000. GSK subsequently terminated the agreement in September 2002 with all rights reverting back to us. We have continued research in this area in order to develop a more effective composition that could be incorporated into different forms (ready-to-drink beverage and chewable tablet) and also has the potential to be added to food and increase the satiation property of the food to which it was added. Starting in the third quarter of 2003, we funded a number of clinical studies on an improved formulation. The new formulation was shown to be significantly better than the previous product in reducing caloric intake, slowing gastric emptying, and extending a feeling of satiation following a meal. We have seven patents on our appetite suppressant technology with additional patents pending. We launched a ready-to-drink beverage using this improved technology under the trade name SATIATRIM® in January 2007. Type II Diabetes Our appetite suppression technology may also have potential for the treatment of Type II diabetes, the fastest growing chronic condition in the U.S., affecting an estimated 46 million people. We have instituted clinical trials to measure the effectiveness of our formulation in controlling blood glucose.

This offering involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below in addition to the other information contained in this prospectus, including the section entitled Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements before deciding whether to invest in shares of our common stock. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or operating results could be harmed. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose part or all of your investment. These risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations and adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Risks Relating to Our Company Our profit in 2006 is attributable to the sale of our sports drink assets to CSAB. We have not able to sustain our operations from revenues provided by operations and have relied instead on the proceeds of our 1997 initial public offering, subsequent private placements of securities, and sales of certain assets. Our profit in 2006 is attributable to the sale of our sports drink assets to CSAB. Although we will receive royalty payments in connection with this sale for a finite period, it is too early for us to determine if we will receive significant revenue from CSAB. At December 31, 2006, we had accumulated losses of $13,940,504. We cannot assure investors that we will be profitable in the future. We may be required to record a loss on certain SATIATRIM® finished goods inventory. Approximately $450,000 of SATIATRIM® finished goods inventory have lot expiration dates that commence in December 2007 with a final expiration date of January 11, 2008. There can be no assurances that we will be able to sell through all or any of the inventory on hand as of the date of this prospectus. If such inventory is not sold as of the early part of the fourth quarter of 2007, we will be required to write down such inventory at a loss equal to the value of the recorded inventory at that time. We may need additional capital, which may not be available to us. We may require funds in excess of our existing cash resources to fund operating deficits, develop new products, establish and expand our manufacturing capabilities, and finance general and administrative and research activities. In particular, we may need additional capital to: increase distribution of our sports performance products; support the launch and development of our new version of our weight loss products; initiate and conduct clinical trials of weight loss products for Type 2 diabetics; and fund general working capital requirements if we continue to experience deficits. Due to market conditions at the time we may need additional funding, or due to our own financial condition at that time, it is possible that we will be unable to obtain additional funding as and when we need it. If we are able to obtain capital it may be on unfavorable terms or terms which excessively dilute existing shareholders or otherwise negatively affect the interests of existing shareholders. If we are unable to obtain additional funding as and when needed, we could be forced to delay our development, marketing and expansion efforts and, if we continue to experience losses, potentially cease operations. We are dependent on a few significant customers and may be adversely affected if those customers discontinue their relationships with us. Our largest customer, General Nutrition Centers (GNC), accounted for approximately 19% of net sales in 2006 and 30% of net sales in 2005. Another customer, Performance, Inc., accounted for approximately 20% of net sales in 2006 and 20% of net sales in 2005. The loss of GNC or Performance, Inc. as customers, the loss of a significant number of other major customers, or a significant reduction in purchase volume by or financial difficulty of such customers could significantly reduce our revenues. We have no agreement with or commitment from any customer to make future purchases. Because we have no agreements with GNC or Performance, Inc., we cannot be certain that GNC or Performance, Inc. will continue as a major customer. In addition, a significant change in the financial or competitive position of our major customers could affect us. Deferred revenues for consigned inventory at GNC were $244,197 as
of December 31, 2006. 6
We face substantial competition. In the exercise performance market, following the asset sale of our sports drink intellectual property, we will only be manufacturing and distributing powder versions of ACCELERADE® and ENDUROX R(4)® as well as ACCEL GEL®. Our primary marketing focus will be the serious endurance athlete (cyclist, runner, triathlete and swimmer) as well as team sports. There are a number of companies that currently market products competitive to ENDUROX R(4)® and ACCELERADE®. The major companies include Cytosport, PowerBar, EAS, and Clif Bar. Increased competitive activity from such companies could make it more
difficult for us to establish market share since such companies have greater financial and other resources available to them and possess far more extensive manufacturing, distribution and marketing capabilities than we do. The weight loss market, in which SATIATRIM® competes, is highly competitive. Weight loss products tend to fall into four categories including: herbal supplements, meal replacement products (e.g., Slim Fast), food plans (e.g., Weight Watchers) and prescription products (e.g., Xenical). Today, weight loss products are manufactured by dietary supplement manufacturers, pharmaceutical manufacturers, diet food companies, and over-the-counter drug companies. Intense competitive activity in this market could make it difficult for us to establish market share, as most of the companies that have products in this category have greater financial, marketing, sales, manufacturing and distribution resources than we have. We believe that long-term success in the marketplace for any of our products will be dependent on the proprietary nature of our formulas as well as such factors as distribution and marketing capabilities. We have no manufacturing capabilities and we are dependent upon other companies to manufacture our products. We have no manufacturing facilities and have no present intention to manufacture any of our products ourselves. We are dependent upon relationships with independent manufacturers to fulfill our product needs. We use at least five manufacturers for various parts of the manufacturing processes for our products. We believe these are small privately held firms. We generally have no contracts, oral or written, with these manufacturers other than individual purchase orders for current quantities which do not contain any terms other than those related to the current quantities. On January 28, 2005, we entered into an Exclusive Custom Manufacturing Agreement with an affiliate of a former stockholder, Hormel Health Labs. This agreement, however, has expired. Because the manufacturing processes, which our contract manufacturers perform, are fairly standard in the industry, we believe that there are a large number of manufacturers who could provide us with these services if our current contract manufacturers are unavailable for any reason or seek to impose unfavorable terms. Our ability to market and sell our products requires that such products be manufactured in commercial quantities and in compliance with applicable federal and state regulatory requirements. In addition, we must be able to manufacture our products at a cost that permits us to charge a price acceptable to the customer while also accommodating distribution costs and third-party sales compensation. Competitors who do own their own manufacturing may have an advantage over us with respect to pricing, availability of product and in other areas through their control of the manufacturing process. Government regulation of the processing, formulation, packaging, labeling and advertising of our products can impact our ability to market products. We market products that fall under two types of Food and Drug Administration regulations: dietary supplements and nutritional supplements. A dietary supplement is: a product (other than tobacco) that is intended to supplement the diet that bears or contains one or more of the following dietary ingredients: a vitamin, a mineral, an herb or other botanical, an amino acid, a dietary substance for use by man to supplement the diet by increasing the total daily intake, or a concentrate, metabolite, constituent, extract, or combinations of these ingredients; and intended for ingestion in pill, capsule, tablet, or liquid form; and not represented for use as a conventional food or as the sole item of a meal or diet; and labeled as a dietary supplement.
Nutritional supplements are food products and contain Generally Regarded As Safe (GRAS) ingredients.
Nutritional supplements and dietary supplements must follow labeling guidelines outlined by the FDA. Neither nutritional supplements 7
nor dietary supplements require FDA or other government approval or notification to market in the United States. Under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994, companies that manufacture and distribute dietary supplements are limited in the statements that they are permitted to make about nutritional support on the product label without FDA approval. In addition, a manufacturer of a dietary supplement must have substantiation for any such statement made and must not claim to diagnose, mitigate, treat, cure or prevent a specific disease or class of disease. The product label must also contain a prominent disclaimer. These restrictions may restrict our flexibility in marketing our product. We believe that all of our existing and proposed products are nutritional supplements or dietary supplements that do not require governmental approvals to market in the United States. Our current products are classified as follows: Dietary Supplements ENDUROX EXCEL® Natural Training Supplement Nutritional Supplements ENDUROX R(4)® Performance/Recovery Drink ACCELERADE® Sports Drink SATIATRIM® Natural Appetite Control ACCEL GEL® The processing, formulizing, packaging, labeling and advertising of such products, however, are subject to regulation by one or more federal agencies including the FDA, the Federal Trade Commission, the Consumer Products Safety Commission, the Department of Agriculture and the Environmental Protection Agency. Our activities also are subject to regulation by various agencies of the states and localities in which our products are sold. Among other things, such regulation puts a burden on our ability to bring products to market. Any changes in the current regulatory environment could impose requirements that would make bringing new products to market more expensive or restrict the ways we can market our products. No governmental agency or other third party makes a determination as to whether our products qualify as nutritional supplements, dietary supplements or neither. We make this determination based on the ingredients contained in the products and the claims we make for the products. We are dependent upon our Chief Executive Officer and President and the loss of his services could have a material adverse impact on us. We have relied extensively on the services of Dr. Robert Portman, who currently serves as our Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Scientific Officer and Chairman of our Board of Directors. Dr. Portman plays a key role in our management and the loss of his services would materially and adversely affect us and our prospects. We may be subject to product liability claims and may not have adequate insurance to cover such claims. Like other retailers, distributors and manufacturers of products that are designed to be ingested, we face an inherent risk of exposure to product liability claims in the event that the use of our products results in injury. With respect to product liability claims, we have coverage of $5,000,000 per occurrence and in the aggregate. Because our policies are purchased on a year-to-year basis, industry conditions or our own claims experience could make it difficult for us to secure the necessary insurance at a reasonable cost. In addition, we may not be able to secure insurance that will be adequate to cover liabilities. We generally do not obtain contractual indemnification from parties supplying raw materials or marketing our products. In any event, any such indemnification is limited by its terms and, as a practical matter, to the creditworthiness of the other party. In the event that we do not have adequate
insurance or contractual indemnification, liabilities relating to defective products could require us to pay the injured parties damages which are significant compared to our net worth or revenues. We may be adversely affected by unfavorable publicity relating to our product or similar products manufactured by our competitors.
We believe that the dietary and nutritional supplement market is affected by national media attention
regarding the consumption of these products. Future scientific research or publicity may be unfavorable to the dietary and nutritional 8
supplement market generally or to any particular product and may be inconsistent with earlier favorable research or publicity. Adverse publicity associated with illness or other adverse effects resulting from the consumption of products distributed by other companies that are similar to our products could reduce consumer demand for our products and consequently our revenues. This may occur even if the publicity does not relate to our products. Adverse publicity directly concerning our products could be expected to have an immediate negative effect on the market for that product. Adverse publicity could also lead to stricter regulation of dietary and nutritional supplements,
adversely affecting us. We depend on patents and other proprietary technologies that we may not be able to obtain, and the patents we hold may not protect our position. Our long-term success will substantially depend upon protecting our technology from infringement, misappropriation, discovery and duplication. To the extent we do not have patents on our products, a competitor could replicate our products. Patents that we do obtain may not provide meaningful protection or significant competitive advantages over competing products, due to the complexity of the legal and scientific issues involved in patent defense and litigation. For example, our use patent on ciwujia might not prevent sale of a product using this herb with a claimed benefit or use that was not covered by our patent. Because of the complexity of the legal and scientific issues involved in patent prosecutions, we cannot be sure that any future patent applications for new products will be granted, and we cannot be sure that any of our pending patent applications will be granted. We cannot be sure our patent rights will provide meaningful protection against others duplicating our products because of the complexity of the legal and scientific issues that could arise in litigation over these issues. Furthermore, patent applications are maintained in secrecy in the United States until the patents are approved, and in most foreign countries for a period of time following the date from which priority is claimed. A third party's pending patent applications may cover any technology that we currently are developing. We have limited the liability of our directors and officers for breaches of the duty of care. Our certificate of incorporation limits the liability of our directors for monetary damages for
breaches of directors' fiduciary duty of care. This provision may reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and may discourage or deter shareholders or
management from suing directors for breaches of their duty of care, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit our shareholders and us. In addition,
our bylaws provide for the indemnification of directors and officers in connection with civil, criminal, administrative or investigative proceedings when acting in their capacities as our agents. Risks Related to this Offering Because our common stock is traded on the OTC Bulletin Board, your ability to sell your shares
in the secondary trading market may be limited. Our common stock currently is traded on the over-the-counter market on the OTC Bulletin Board. Consequently,
the liquidity of our common stock is limited, not only in the number of shares that are bought and sold, but also through delays in the timing of transactions, and coverage by security
analysts and the news media, if any, of us. As a result, prices for shares of our common stock may be lower than might otherwise prevail if our common stock was traded on a national securities
exchange, like The New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ Stock Market. Because our shares are penny stocks, you may have difficulty selling them in the secondary trading market. Federal regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (referred to in this prospectus as
the Exchange Act) regulate the trading of so-called penny stocks, which are generally defined as any security not listed on a national securities exchange, priced at less than $5.00 per
share and offered by an issuer with limited net tangible assets and revenues. Since our common stock currently trades on the OTC Bulletin Board at less than $5.00 per share, our common stock is a
penny stock and may not be traded unless a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated therewith is delivered to a potential purchaser prior to any trade. In addition, because our common stock is not listed on any national securities exchange and currently trades at less than
$5.00 per share, trading in our common stock is subject to Rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act. Under this rule, broker-dealers must take certain steps prior to selling a penny stock, which
steps include: obtaining financial and investment information from the investor; 9
obtaining a written suitability questionnaire and purchase agreement signed by the investor; and providing the investor a written identification of the shares being offered and the quantity of the shares. If these penny stock rules are not followed by the broker-dealer, the investor has no obligation to purchase the shares. The application of these comprehensive rules will make it more difficult for broker-dealers to sell our common stock and our shareholders, therefore, may have difficulty in selling their shares in the secondary trading market. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market, including the shares offered under this prospectus and under other registration statements, could lower our stock price and impair our ability to raise funds in new stock offerings. Future sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market, including the shares offered under this prospectus, under other registration statements and shares available for resale under Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (referred to in this prospectus as the Securities Act) or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect the prevailing market price of our common stock and could make it more difficult for us to raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities. We filed this registration statement pursuant to an investor rights agreement with the holders of the common stock and warrants purchased in our August and September 2003 private placement. We are required under a related investor rights agreement to use our reasonable best efforts to cause this registration statement to remain effective until the earlier of (1) the
sale of all the shares of our common stock covered by this registration statement; or (2) such time as the Selling Stockholders named in this registration statement become eligible to resell the shares of our common stock that they hold and the shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of their warrants pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act. Our stock price may be volatile and your investment in our common stock could suffer a decline in value. The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to a number of factors, some of which are beyond our control. These factors include: announcements of research activities and technology innovations or new products by us or our competitors; changes in market valuation of companies in our industry generally; variations in operating results; changes in governmental regulations; results of research studies of our products or our competitors products; regulatory action or inaction on our products or our competitors products; changes in our financial estimates by securities analysts; general market conditions for companies in our industry; broad market fluctuations; and economic conditions in the United States or abroad. The market for our stock has not been liquid. Prior to the date of this prospectus, the average daily trading volume of our common stock during the previous six months has been less than 50,000 shares. Therefore, holders of our common stock may have difficulty selling their shares in the public markets, and one or more investors seeking to sell a substantial number of shares purchased in this offering could significantly depress the market price for our common stock. Provisions in our charter documents and Delaware law could discourage or prevent a takeover, even if an acquisition would be beneficial to our shareholders. 10
Provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as well as provisions of Delaware law, could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if doing so would be beneficial to our shareholders. For instance, under our certificate of incorporation, our Board of Directors has the authority to issue blank check preferred stock without stockholder approval and thus increase the number of outstanding shares of our capital stock and thwart a takeover attempt. We refer you to the section of this prospectus entitled Description of Capital Stock for more information on the specific provisions of our certificate of incorporation, our bylaws and Delaware law that could discourage, delay or prevent a change of control of us. Our directors and executive officers own a significant number of shares of our common stock to control our company, which could discourage or prevent a takeover, even if an acquisition would be beneficial to our stockholders. Our directors and executive officers own or control approximately 31.1% of our outstanding voting power. Accordingly, these stockholders, individually and as a group, may be able to influence the outcome of stockholder votes, involving votes concerning the election of directors, the adoption or amendment of provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and the approval of certain mergers or other similar transactions, such as a sale of substantially all of our assets. Such control by existing stockholders could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of us. Exercise of outstanding options and warrants will dilute stockholders and could decrease the market price of our common stock. As of October 2, 2007, we had issued and outstanding 13,486,426 shares of common stock and outstanding options and warrants to purchase 2,199,500 additional shares of common stock, in addition to the 792,330 shares issuable upon exercise of warrants that may be resold under this prospectus. The existence of the outstanding options and warrants may adversely affect the market price of our common stock and the terms under which we could obtain additional equity capital. We do not pay cash dividends, so any return on your investment must come from appreciation. We do not intend to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future and, therefore, any return on your investment in our common stock must come from increases in the fair market value and trading price of our common stock. We may issue additional equity securities that will dilute your share ownership. We may issue additional equity securities to raise capital and through the exercise of options and warrants that are outstanding or may be outstanding. These additional issuances will dilute your share ownership. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS On February 22, 2006, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement of the same date, we sold to Motts LLP, a division of Cadbury Schweppes Americas Beverages (CSAB), the patents, trademarks, web sites, and other intellectual property related to the our ACCELERADE® and ENDUROX ® sports nutrition product lines for $4,000,000 in cash and potential future royalty payments. Simultaneously, we entered into a License Agreement with CSAB giving us the exclusive, royalty free right to continue to sell our sports nutrition products in powder, gel and pill form. Consequently, we will continue to sell our current sports nutrition products in the same manner as prior to the sale of the intellectual property assets. In June 2007, CSAB launched ACCELERADE®
RTD. We will receive royalty payments for a finite period, subject to an annual limitation on the amount of the royalty. However, it is too early for us to determine if we will receive significant revenue from CSAB. In January 2007, we launched a ready-to-drink beverage under the trade name SATIATRIM®. Ten years in development, SATIATRIM®, a 50-calorie drink that is consumed before eating, stimulates cholecystokin (CCK), one the bodys primary satiety peptides. CCK is normally released after a meal, particularly one high in fat and protein. CCK is often called the feel full protein because when it is released it gives a feeling of fullness and signals the brain to terminate the meal. Clinical studies have shown that SATIATRIM® is significantly better than our earlier formulations in reducing caloric intake, slowing gastric emptying, and extending a feeling of satiation following a meal. We have launched
SATIATRIM® as a product available only on the Internet, directly from our website. See the section of this prospectus titled Activation of Satiety Peptides Weight Loss for additional information.
Effective January 5, 2007, we terminated the amended and restated Investors Rights Agreement that we
initially entered in with Hormel Health Labs, LLC on January 28, 2005 in connection with the sale of Hormels
shares of our stock as described below. The other party to this transaction was Diamond Crystal Sales, LLC, which acted in its capacity as successor to 11
Hormel following Hormels merger with and into Diamond effective October 31, 2006. In addition, effective as of January 5, 2007, we, Diamond and Dr. Robert Portman, our Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Scientific Officer and Chairman of the Board, terminated the Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement into which we, Hormel and Dr. Portman had previously entered on January 28, 2005. The termination of the Investors Rights Agreement and the Co-Sale Agreement occurred in connection with Diamonds sale of the 909,091 shares
of our common shares previously held by Hormel in a private transaction to certain purchasers effective January 5, 2007. Hormel had acquired the 909,091 shares of our common stock upon its conversion of the 90,909 shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock that it purchased pursuant to the Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement. Upon the closing of Diamonds sale of the common stock, the Investor Rights Agreement and the Co-Sale Agreement, and all rights, duties, obligations and liabilities of the parties under the agreements, terminated. This included termination of any liability for breach or non-fulfillment of either agreement prior to the sale of the common stock. The purchasers of the shares of common stock sold by Diamond included Dr. Robert Portman, David Portman and Michael Cahr, each of whom purchased 100,000 shares at $0.95 per share. David Portman and Michael Cahr are two of our Directors. The purchasers also included the Aquifer Opportunity Fund of
which Adam Mizel, a new Director, is the Managing Principal. At the time of the transaction, Mr. Mizel was not yet one of our Directors. USE OF PROCEEDS We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of shares offered under this prospectus by the Selling Stockholders. This offering is intended to satisfy our obligations to register, under the Securities Act, the resale of the shares of our common stock, including shares of our common stock that will be issued to the Selling Stockholders upon the exercise of warrants held by them, that we issued to the Selling Stockholders in a private placement or as compensation. 12
All of the Selling Stockholders named below acquired or have the right to acquire upon the exercise of warrants the shares of our common stock being offered under this prospectus directly from us in a private transaction or as compensation. The following table sets forth information known to us with respect to the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of October 2, 2007 by the Selling Stockholders as provided by the Selling Stockholders. In accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, beneficial ownership includes the shares issuable pursuant to warrants and options that are exercisable within 60 days of October 2, 2007. Shares issuable pursuant to warrants and options are considered outstanding for computing the percentage of the person holding the warrants and options but are not considered outstanding for computing the percentage of any other person. The percentage of beneficial ownership for the following table is based on 13,486,426 shares of common stock outstanding as of October 2, 2007. To our knowledge, except as indicated in the footnotes to this table, each person named in the table has sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock shown in the table to be beneficially owned by such person. Except as indicated in the footnote to this table, none of the Selling Stockholders has had any position, office or other material relationship with us within the past three years. The table assumes that the Selling Stockholders will sell all of the shares offered by them in this offering. However, we are unable to determine the exact number of shares that will actually be sold or when or if these sales will occur. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the shares offered under this prospectus.

None of the Selling Stockholders is a broker-dealer. Two Selling Stockholders, Mr. Lawrence Kaplan and R&R Opportunity Fund, L.P. are affiliates of broker-dealers. In addition, Mr. Robert Lowenthal may be deemed to be an affiliate of a broker-dealer. As to each of these Selling Stockholders: such Selling Stockholder acquired our shares and/or warrants exercisable for our shares included in this prospectus in the ordinary course of business; and at the time the acquisition of the shares included in this prospectus, such Selling Stockholder had no agreement or understandings, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute such securities. PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION We are registering the shares of common stock on behalf of the Selling Stockholders. Sales of shares may be made by Selling Stockholders, including their respective donees, transferees, pledgees or other successors-in-interest, directly to purchasers or to or through underwriters or broker-dealers or through agents. Sales may be made from time to time on the over-the-counter market or otherwise, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to market prices, or at negotiated or fixed prices. The shares may be sold by one or more of, or a combination of, the following: a block trade in which the broker-dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction (including crosses in which the same broker acts as agent for both sides of the transaction); purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by such broker-dealer, including resales for its account, pursuant to this prospectus; ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchases; through options, swaps or derivatives; in privately negotiated transactions; in making short sales or in transactions to cover short sales; and put or call option transactions relating to the shares. The Selling Stockholders may effect these transactions by selling shares directly to purchasers or to or through broker-dealers, which may act as agents or principals. These broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the Selling Stockholders and/or the purchasers of shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as agents or to whom they sell as principals, or both (which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions). The Selling Stockholders have advised us that they have not entered into any agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriters or broker-dealers regarding the sale of their securities. The Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions. In connection with those transactions, the broker-dealers or other financial institutions may engage in short sales of the shares or of securities convertible into or exchangeable for the shares in the course of hedging positions they assume with the Selling Stockholders. The Selling Stockholders may also enter into options or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions which require the delivery of shares offered by this prospectus to those broker-dealers or other financial institutions or loan or pledge shares of common stock to a broker-dealer, who may sell the loaned shares or, in the event of default, sell the pledged shares. The broker-dealer or other financial institution may then resell the shares pursuant to this prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if
required by applicable law, to reflect those transactions). The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers that act in connection with the sale of shares may be
deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act, and any commissions received by broker-dealers or any profit on the resale of the shares
sold by them while acting as principals may be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act. The Selling Stockholders may agree to indemnify any agent, dealer
or broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving sales of the shares against liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act. We have agreed to indemnify each of
the Selling Stockholders and each Selling Stockholder has agreed, severally and not jointly, to indemnify us against some liabilities in connection with the offering of the shares, including liabilities
arising under the Securities Act. 15
The Selling Stockholders and any other persons participating in a distribution of the shares will be subject to
applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may restrict certain activities of, and limit the timing of purchases and
sales of the shares by the Selling Stockholders and other persons participating in a distribution of the shares. Furthermore, under Regulation M, persons engaged in a distribution of the shares
are prohibited from simultaneously engaging in market making and certain other activities with respect to the shares for a specified period of time prior to the commencement of such distributions
subject to specified exceptions or exemptions. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares offered hereby. We have notified the Selling Stockholders that they will be subject to
applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and its rules and regulations, including, among others, Rule 102 under Regulation M. These provisions may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any
of the shares of our common stock by the Selling Stockholders. Rule 102 under Regulation M provides, with some exceptions, that it is unlawful for the Selling Stockholders or their affiliated purchasers to,
directly or indirectly, bid for or purchase, or attempt to induce any person to bid for or purchase, for an account in which the Selling Stockholders or affiliated purchasers have a beneficial
interest, any securities that are the subject of the distribution during the applicable restricted period under Regulation M. All of the above may affect the marketability of the shares of our
common stock. To the extent required by law, we may require the Selling Stockholders, and their brokers, if applicable, to provide a letter that acknowledges compliance with Regulation M under
the Exchange Act before authorizing the transfer of the Selling Stockholders shares of common stock. Selling Stockholders also may resell all or a portion of the shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act, provided they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of Rule 144. Upon being notified by a Selling Stockholder that a material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of shares through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, we will file a supplement to this prospectus, if required pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, disclosing: the name of each such selling security holder and of the participating broker-dealer(s); the number of shares involved; the initial price at which the shares were sold; the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to the broker-dealer(s), where applicable; that such broker-dealer(s) did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out in this prospectus; and other facts material to the transactions. In addition, if required under applicable law or the rules or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, we will file a supplement to this prospectus when a Selling Stockholder notifies us that a donee or pledgee intends to sell more than 500 shares of common stock. We are paying all expenses and fees customarily paid by an issuer in connection with the registration of the shares. The Selling Stockholders will bear all brokerage or underwriting discounts or commissions paid to broker-dealers in connection with the sale of the shares. 16
MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS Our common stock is currently traded on the over-the-counter market on the OTC Bulletin Board, under the symbol PHLI. The following table sets forth, in dollars and cents (in lieu of fractions), the high and low sales prices of our common stock since January 1, 2005, as reported by the OTC Bulletin Board. The prices in the table may not represent actual transactions. These quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark up, mark down or commissions and may not represent actual transactions. High Low Year Ending December 31, 2007 First Quarter $2.35 $1.08 Second Quarter $2.65 $1.65 Third Quarter $3.38 $1.55 Fourth Quarter (through October 1, 2007) $1.80 $1.67 Year Ended December 31, 2006 First Quarter $1.24 $0.17 Second Quarter $2.75 $0.84 Third Quarter $2.08 $1.02 Fourth Quarter $1.49 $0.99 Year Ended December 31, 2005 First Quarter $0.92 $0.40 Second Quarter $0.63 $0.21 Third Quarter $0.35 $0.16 Fourth Quarter $0.40 $0.08 On October 1, 2007, the closing price of our common stock as reported by the OTC Bulletin Board was $1.70 per share. Holders As of October 1, 2007, there were approximately 107 holders of record of our common stock. However, we believe
that there are significantly more beneficial holders of our common stock as many beneficial holders have their stock in street name. Dividends We have never paid or declared dividends upon our common stock and do not contemplate or anticipate paying any dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. 17
BUSINESS Business Development We are a nutrition technology company that was incorporated in the State of Delaware in April 1995. Our mission is to discover, develop, and commercialize nutritional products to improve health, manage chronic disease, and enhance existing therapies that are patentable and are substantiated by well-controlled clinical trials conducted at leading university research centers. Our principal areas of focus include sports performance, weight loss, and management of Type II diabetes. Our products can be marketed without prior Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval under current regulatory guidelines. We employ multiple strategies for the commercialization of our technologies: 1) launch a brand via highly targeted consumer channels, 2) license the technology to a major food or drug company, or 3) a combination of both 1 and 2. Business of the Issuer We are focused on developing patented protein-based nutrition products using two core technology platforms. One platform involves the activation of biochemical pathways by specific nutritional compositions to enhance muscle growth, energy, and transport pathways. Using this nutritional technology platform, our research efforts have been directed to product development for 1) improving exercise performance, 2) post-surgical muscle recovery, and 3) oral rehydration. The second technology platform involves stimulation of specific satiety peptides that are released in the stomach. Using this nutritional technology platform, our research efforts have been directed in product development for 1) appetite suppression and weight loss, and 2) management of Type II diabetes. Activation of Muscle Growth, Energy, and Transport Pathways Exercise Performance Our research into factors influencing exercise performance and muscle growth and recovery has led to the development and commercialization of a new generation of sports and recovery drinks. The key to our technology is the specific ratio in which protein is combined with carbohydrates. We have two patents on this technology and over 18 studies have been published demonstrating that products based on this technology can extend endurance, reduce muscle damage, improve rehydration, and accelerate muscle recovery. Our research in exercise performance has led to the introduction and commercialization of a number of products for the aerobic and strength training athlete. These include: ENDUROX EXCEL® - Introduced in March 1997 ENDUROX R(4)® Recovery Drink Introduced in February 1999 ACCELERADE® Sports Drink Introduced in June 2001 ACCEL GEL® Introduced in February 2004 On February 22, 2006, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement of the same date, we sold to Motts LLP, a division of Cadbury Schweppes Americas Beverages (CSAB), the patents, trademarks, web sites, and other intellectual property related to the our ACCELERADE® and ENDUROX ® sports nutrition product lines for $4,000,000 in cash and potential future royalty payments. Simultaneously, we entered into a License Agreement with CSAB giving us the exclusive, royalty free right to continue to sell our sports nutrition products in powder, gel and pill form. Consequently, we will continue to sell our current sports nutrition products in the same manner as prior to the sale of the intellectual property assets. In June 2007, CSAB launched ACCELERADE® RTD. We will receive royalty payments for a finite period, subject to an annual limitation on the amount of the royalty. However, it is too early for us to determine if we will receive significant revenue from CSAB. Post-Surgical Muscle Recovery Scientific insights emanating from our discoveries in sports nutrition have led to a potentially new and exciting medical application. Individuals undergoing orthopedic surgery, particularly involving the shoulder, hip or knee, experience muscle atrophy that occurs as a normal consequence of muscle immobilization in the post-surgery period. The degree of muscle atrophy a patient experiences significantly impacts health care costs and quality of life. We are currently evaluating a novel nutritional formulation that has the potential of slowing muscle atrophy following a period of forced immobilization. Such a product could have enormous benefit for the 1.6 million patients who undergo arthroscopy and muscle and knee replacement operations each year, and the 5 million patients who suffer a sports related injury. A clinical study to examine the effectiveness of this formulation is underway. We have filed one
patent on this technology and plan to file additional patents in the future. 18
Oral Rehydration Another scientific byproduct of our research on the effects of protein has been the identification of nutritional formulas that can enhance sodium transport. Such products would have widespread medical application in treating dehydration commonly associated with vomiting and diarrhea. We will continue our studies and may file patents for this indication in 2007. Activation of Satiety Peptides Weight Loss Satiety peptides have been shown to reduce food intake and suppress appetite in humans. Our research has specifically focused on developing nutritional formulations that can stimulate cholecystokin (CCK), one of the bodys primary satiety peptides. CCK is normally released after a meal, particularly one high in fat and protein. CCK is often called the feel full protein because when it is released it gives a feeling of fullness and signals the brain to terminate the meal. The objective of our research is to develop a nutritional composition that stimulates and extends the duration of action of CCK in a calorically efficient way, i.e. to cause a release of CCK with 45-50 calories of specific nutrients rather than 1,000 calories. The first product we commercialized using this technology was SATIETROL® that was released in April 2000. This was followed by the introduction of a meal replacement product called SATIETROL COMPLETE® in January 2001. Clinical studies showed that both of these products could reduce hunger and reduce caloric intake. In June 2001, we signed an exclusive worldwide licensing agreement with GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) for our weight loss technology. Under the agreement, we received an initial payment of $1,000,000 and received a subsequent milestone payment of $250,000. GSK subsequently terminated the agreement in September 2002 with all rights reverting back to us. We have continued research in this area in order to develop a more effective composition that could be incorporated into different forms (ready-to-drink beverage and chewable tablet) and also has the potential to be added to food and increase the satiation property of the food to which it was added. Starting in the third quarter of 2003, the Company funded a number of clinical studies on an improved formulation. The new formulation was shown to be significantly better than the previous product in reducing caloric intake, slowing gastric emptying, and extending a feeling of satiation following a meal. We have seven patents on our appetite suppressant technology with additional patents pending. We launched a ready-to-drink beverage using this improved technology under the trade name SATIATRIM® in January 2007. Type II Diabetes Our appetite suppression technology may also have potential for the treatment of Type II diabetes, the fastest growing chronic condition in the U.S., affecting an estimated 46 million people. We have instituted clinical trials to measure the effectiveness of our formulation in controlling blood glucose. All of the our existing and proposed products are expected to be manufactured in the United States by third parties. Principal Products and Markets ENDUROX EXCEL® Dietary Supplement ENDUROX EXCEL® is a dietary supplement of which the principal ingredient is the herb ciwujia. Laboratory studies funded by us during 1995 at the University of North Texas Health Science Center in Fort Worth, Texas and the Institute of Nutrition and Food in China, have demonstrated that ENDUROX EXCEL® can have a beneficial effect on exercise performance. In December 1996, we were issued patent #5,585,101 for our ENDUROX® product. ENDUROX R4® Recovery/Performance Drink We launched ENDUROX R4® Performance/Recovery Drink in March 1999. Clinical trials that we funded during 1998 at the University of North Texas Health Science Center in Fort Worth, Texas and the Human Performance Lab at St. Cloud University in St. Cloud, Minnesota showed that when tested against the nation's leading sports drink, ENDUROX R4® delivered equal hydration effectiveness while enhancing performance and extending endurance by 55%, decreasing post-exercise muscle stress by 36%, reducing free radical build-up by 69%, and increasing the replenishment of muscle glycogen following exercise. These results have been published in a peer-review journal. In April 2000, we were issued patent #6,051,236 for ENDUROX
R(4)®. Patent office acceptance of specific claims does not necessarily permit us to make any specific claims
to the public regarding this product. Our ability to make those claims is governed by the FDA, Federal Trade 19
Commission, and other federal government agency regulations and guidelines. ACCELERADE® Sports Drink In June 2001, we introduced ACCELERADE® Sports Drink. ACCELERADE® Sports Drink is the first sports drink that contains protein. Studies sponsored by us and done independently by university researchers and published in peer-reviewed journals have demonstrated that ACCELERADE® compared to a convention sports drink such as Gatorade improves endurance by 29%, decreases muscle damage by 83%, improves muscle recovery by 46%, and improves rehydration by 15%. To date, there are over 18 published studies on ACCELERADE®. In January 2006, we received a specific patent on this formula. ACCEL GEL® Energy Gel In February 2004, we introduced ACCEL GEL®. ACCEL GEL® is an energy gel that contains the patented 4:1 ratio found in ENDUROX R(4)® and ACCELERADE®. ACCEL GEL® is designed to provide athletes in all sports with a quick and rapid source of carbohydrate energy. Studies sponsored by us and published in a peer-reviewed journal have shown that ACCEL GEL® , compared to the leading carbohydrate gel, improves endurance performance by 13%. ENDUROX R(4)®, ACCELERADE®, and ACCEL GEL® are distributed in health foods chains (GNC, Vitamin Shoppe, Vitamin World), sporting goods retailers (REI), cycling stores and catalogs (Performance Bike), running stores and catalogs (Road Runner Sports) and sports specialty stores. Distribution Methods We have pursued a multi-channel distribution strategy in marketing our endurance products. At the present time, these products are being sold in over 9,000 retail outlets including GNC, sports specialty stores, independent health food retailers, independent bike retailers, health clubs, catalogs, and Internet sites. We now sell all of our products in various foreign countries through independent distributors. To support our marketing efforts, we may use a variety of marketing methods including advertising in trade and consumer sports and health food magazines that are intended to reach our targeted consumer. In addition, we may attend trade shows and exhibitions, sponsor promotional programs/events and in-store promotions, and engage in public relations efforts that has resulted and may continue to result in articles in numerous sports, health, fitness, trade and natural product publications, newspaper coverage, and television spots. In the years ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, our expenditures for product advertising and promotion were approximately $105,000 and $603,000, respectively. Expenditures for product advertising decreased due to the asset sale to Mottss whereby CSAB, the parent of Motts, now pays for all advertising for our sports performance products. Advertising will increase in 2007 as we continue to promote SATIATRIM®, our natural appetite suppressant product. We have launched SATIATRIM® as a product available only on the Internet, directly from our website. Status of Publicly Announced New Products The status of all products that have been the subject of or mentioned in public announcements by us
in the past year are discussed above under the caption Principal Products and Markets. Competition Following the asset sale of our sports drink intellectual property, we will only be manufacturing and distributing powder versions of ACCELERADE® and ENDUROX R(4)® as well as ACCEL GEL®. Our primary marketing focus will be the serious endurance athlete (cyclist, runner, triathlete and swimmer) as well as team sports. There are a number of companies that currently market products that compete with ENDUROX R(4)® and ACCELERADE®. The major companies include Cytosport, PowerBar, EAS, and Clif Bar. Increased competitive activity from such companies could make it more difficult for us to establish market share since such companies
have greater financial and other resources available to them and possess far more extensive manufacturing, distribution and marketing capabilities than we do. The weight loss market, in which SATIATRIM® competes is highly competitive. Weight loss products tend to fall into four categories including: herbal supplements, meal replacement products (e.g., Slim Fast), food plans (e.g., Weight Watchers) and prescription products (e.g., Xenical). Today, weight loss products are manufactured by dietary supplement manufacturers,
pharmaceutical manufacturers, diet food companies, and over-the-counter drug companies. Intense 20
competitive activity in this market could make it difficult for us to establish market share,
as most of the companies that have products in this category have greater financial, marketing,
sales, manufacturing, and distribution resources than we have. We believe that long-term success in the marketplace for any of our products will be dependent on the proprietary nature of our formulas as well as such factors as distribution and marketing capabilities. Suppliers of Raw Materials We do not have manufacturing facilities and have no present intention to manufacture any products ourselves. We fulfill product needs through relationships with independent manufacturers. We generally do not have long-term contracts with any of these manufacturers. Competitors that do their own manufacturing may have an advantage over us with respect to pricing, availability of product, and in other areas because of their control of the manufacturing process. Generally, our contract manufacturers obtain raw materials necessary for the manufacture of our products from numerous sources. We generally do not have contracts with suppliers of materials required for the production of our products. All raw materials used in our existing products are available from multiple sources. There is no assurance that suppliers will provide the raw materials needed by us in the quantities requested or at a price we are willing to pay. Because we do not control the source of these raw materials, we are also subject to delays caused by interruption in production of materials based on conditions outside of our control. Dependence on Major Customers Performance, Inc. and GNC accounted for approximately 20% and 19%, respectively, of net sales in 2006 and 28% and 15%, respectively, of net accounts receivable at December 31, 2006. Deferred revenues for consigned inventory at GNC was $244,197 as of December 31, 2006. The loss of these customers, a significant reduction in purchase volume by these customers, or the financial difficulty of such customers, for any reason, could significantly reduce our revenues. We have no agreement with or commitment from either of these customers with respect to future purchases. Patents and Trademarks The following describes the patents and trademarks we have obtained related to our sports nutrition products and our weight loss technology. On February 22, 2006, we sold the patents and trademarks related to our ACCELERADE® and ENDUROX® line of sports nutrition products to Motts subject to an exclusive license back to us to continue to market the powder, gel and pill form of these products We received a use patent, United States Patent No. 5,585,101 in December 1996 covering the use of ciwujia, the principal active herb in ENDUROX® and ENDUROX EXCEL® caplets, entitled Method to Improve Performance During Exercise Using the Ciwujia Plant.

We received a composition of matter patent, United States Patent No. 6,838,431, in January 2005 entitled Nutritional Intervention Composition Containing Protease Inhibitor Extending Post Meal Satiety. This patent expires in January 2022. We received a composition of matter patent, United States Patent No. 6,989,171, in January 2006 entitled Sports Drink Composition For Enhancing Glucose Uptake and Extending Endurance During Physical Exercise. This patent expires in January 2023. We also have several patents pending on our technology. To the extent these are improvements on our existing sports drink patents, Motts will own these patents, but we will have an exclusive license to use them in powder, gel and pill products. The patent holder for all patents is our CEO and President, Dr. Robert Portman. Our policy is to have all patents assigned to us upon filing. Patent numbers 6,051,236 and 6,989,171 above have been assigned to Motts. To the extent we do not have patents on our products, there can be no assurance that another company will not replicate one or more of our products, nor is there any assurance that patents that are obtained will provide meaningful protection or significant competitive advantages over competing products. For example, our use patent on ciwujia would not prevent the sale of a product containing that herb with a claim or for a use that was not covered by our patent. We have federal trademark registrations for ENDUROX EXCEL®, ENDUROX R4®, SATIATRIM®, ACCELERADE®, and ACCEL GEL® among others. We also have filed our trademarks in most Western European countries, Canada, Mexico and Japan. Our policy is to pursue registrations for all of the trademarks associated with our key products, and to protect our legal rights concerning the use of our trademarks. We rely on common law trademark rights to protect our unregistered trademarks. Governmental Regulation We have determined that all of our existing and proposed products, as described above, are nutritional or dietary supplements as defined under federal statutes and regulations of the FDA. Neither nutritional supplements nor dietary supplements require FDA or other governmental approval prior to their marketing in the United States. No governmental agency or other third party makes a determination as to whether our products qualify as nutritional supplements, dietary supplements, or neither. We make this determination based on the ingredients contained in the products and the claims made for the products. The processing, formulation, packaging, labeling and advertising of such products, however, are subject to regulation by one or more federal agencies including the FDA, the Federal Trade Commission, the Consumer Products Safety Commission, the Department of Agriculture and the Environmental Protection Agency.
Our activities also are subject to regulation by various agencies of the states and localities in which our products are sold. We market products that are covered under two types of FDA regulations, Nutritional Supplements and Dietary Supplements. Nutritional Supplements contain food and GRAS (Generally Regarded as Safe) ingredients and do not require FDA approval or notification. Such products must follow labeling guidelines outlined by the FDA. Dietary Supplements is a classification of products resulting from the enactment of the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 in October 1994, which amended and modified the application of certain provisions of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act as they relate to dietary supplements, and required the FDA to promulgate regulations consistent with this act. The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act defines a dietary supplement to include: any product intended to supplement the diet that bears or contains a vitamin, mineral, herb or other botanical, an amino acid, a substance to supplement the diet by increasing the total dietary intake, or any concentrate, constituent, extract, or combination of any such ingredient, provided that such product is either intended for ingestion in tablet, capsule, powder, softgel, gelcap, or liquid droplet form; or, if not intended to be ingested in such form, is not represented for use as a conventional food or as a sole item of a meal or the diet; and is labeled as a dietary supplement. The practical effect of such an expansive definition is to ensure that the new protections and requirements of this act will apply to a wide class of products. 22
Under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act, companies that manufacture and
distribute dietary supplements are allowed to make any of the following four types of statements with regard to nutritional support on labeling without FDA approval: a statement that claims a benefit related to a classical nutrient
deficiency disease and discloses the prevalence of such disease in the United States; a statement that describes the role of a nutrient or dietary ingredient
intended to affect structure or function in humans; a statement that characterizes the documented mechanism by which a
nutrient or dietary ingredient acts to maintain or function; or a statement that describes general well-being
from consumption of a nutrient or dietary ingredient. In addition to making sure that a statement meets one of these four criteria, a manufacturer of the
dietary supplement must have substantiation that such statement is truthful and not misleading, must not claim to diagnose, mitigate, treat, cure, or prevent a specific disease or
class of diseases, and must contain the following disclaimer, prominently displayed in boldface type: This statement has not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. On February 6, 2000, the FDA issued new guidelines concerning statements made for dietary supplements. These new regulations have important implications for the marketing of weight loss products such as SATIETROL®. Previously the regulations made it clear that a product that made a claim for obesity must be treated as a drug. Under the new regulations, the FDA makes a distinction between obesity and overweight. Overweight is no longer considered a disease but rather a natural life process. Overweight is considered a condition that affects the structure and function of the body. As now defined, dietary supplements can make a claim for ordinary weight loss rather than as a treatment for obesity. Furthermore, these regulations also permit the use of appetite suppressant as a structure/function claim under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education
Act. The issuance of these regulations will give us greater latitude in the types of claims we can make about SATIETROL® as long as such claims are substantiated by the necessary studies. Expenditures for Research and Development Our research and development expenditures in the past two fiscal years, exclusive of market research and marketing related expenditures, were approximately as follows: 2006 - $196,000; 2005 - $195,000. We anticipate that research and development expenses will increase as we conduct additional clinical trials on all of our products. Compliance with Environmental Laws We are not aware of any administrative or other costs that we incur which are directly related to compliance with environmental laws, and we have not experienced any other significant effect from the impact of environmental laws. Employees At the present time, we have ten full time employees and one part time employee. Of these, two employees are executive, five are in sales and marketing, and four are in accounting, operations and administration. We employ a number of consultants who devote limited portions of their time to our business. None of our employees is represented by a union, and we believe that our employee relations are good. Properties In July 2003, we moved our headquarters from Woodbridge, NJ to larger facilities located in Matawan, NJ. At that time, we entered into a four-year (48-month) lease for approximately 5,500 square feet at a price of $22.50 per square foot, including utilities, for an annual rent expense of $123,750 for the first thirty-three (33) months. During the last fifteen (15) months of the lease, the rent increases to $25.50 per square foot, including utilities, for an aggregate annual rent expense of $140,250. In November 2006, we extended the lease for an additional 5 years (60 months). Under the lease extension which commenced in January 2007, rent including utilities will be $96,000 annualized over the first 6 months; $140,250 annually for the next 36 months; $145,750 annually for the next 12 months; and $151,250 annually for the last 12 months. 23
We do not intend to develop our own manufacturing capabilities, because management believes that the availability of manufacturing services from third parties on a contract basis is more than adequate to meet our needs in the foreseeable future. We do not own any real property nor do we have any real estate investments. Legal Proceedings We are not currently a party to any material legal proceedings. 24
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS This discussion presents managements analysis of our results of operations and financial condition as of and for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively as well as the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes related thereto which appear elsewhere in this prospectus and Risk Factors beginning on page 6 of this prospectus. Introduction We were incorporated in April 1995 to discover, develop and commercialize nutritional products that are patentable and substantiated by well-controlled clinical trials conducted at leading university research centers. Our principal areas of focus include sports performance, weight loss, and management of Type II diabetes. We introduced our first product, ENDUROX ®, in March 1996. We extended our exercise performance products with the introduction of ENDUROX R(4)® Recovery Drink in March 1999, ACCELERADE® Sports Drink in May 2001, and ACCEL GEL® in February 2004. These products are based on our patented technology that involves the combination of carbohydrate and protein in
a specific ratio. A number of studies, both funded by our company and also conducted independently, demonstrate that this technology can extend endurance, decrease post-exercise muscle damage, speed recovery and improve rehydration. In April 2000, we introduced our first product for weight loss that was based upon a novel mode of action the stimulation of one of the bodys principal satiety peptides, cholecystokinin (CCK). This technology was launched under the brand name SATIETROL®. In June 2001, we licensed this product to GSK and discontinued promotion of our brand. In September 2002, the license was returned to us and we initiated a program to improve both the efficacy and form versatility of the technology. We launched a new ready-to-drink beverage based on this enhanced technology under the brand name SATIATRIM® in January 2007. In February 2006, we entered into an asset sale with Motts, a division of Cadbury Schweppes, as described more fully in Business Business Development and Recent Developments above. As part of the agreement, we will continue to sell the powder, gel and pill forms of ACCELERADE®, ENDUROX R(4)® and ACCEL GEL®, both in the United States and in those countries where we are presently doing business. Results of Operations Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 We recorded a net loss applicable to common stockholders of ($127,276), or ($0.01) per share (basic and diluted), for the second quarter ended June 30, 2007 compared to a net loss applicable to common stockholders of ($31,174), or $0.00 per share (basic and diluted), for the second quarter ended June 30, 2006. We recorded a net loss applicable to common stockholders of ($351,692), or ($0.03) per share (basic and diluted), for the six-month period ended June 30, 2007, compared to net income applicable to common stockholders of $2,587,694, or $0.20 per share fully diluted, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2006. The six-month period ended June 30, 2006 would have resulted in a net loss of ($43,511), or ($0.00) per share (basic and diluted), if $2,631,205 (net of income taxes of $1,278,000) from the sale of patents and technology to Motts had been excluded from net income. See Part I, Item 2(a)
above for a description of the CSAB transaction. The loss for the three- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2007 was primarily the result of two strategic decisions we made: (i) increased marketing and other expenses of $80,366 and $187,718, respectively, for the three- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2007 for the launch of SATIATRIM and (ii) lower gross margins as detailed below. Revenues increased 18% in the quarter ended June 30, 2007 to $2,069,889 from $1,747,206 for the same period in 2006. Revenues in the six-month period ended June 30, 2007 increased 17% to $3,888,783 from $3,322,602 for the same period in 2006. Revenues increased in the three- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the same periods in 2006 as a result of the implementation of an aggressive new retailer program which involves free-standing racks, increased serving sizes per canister that results in additional sales dollars per canister, and the expansion of the number of ACCELERADE and ACCEL GEL skus by some of our larger accounts in anticipation of the CSAB Ready-To-Drink launch. CSAB launched ACCELERADE Ready-to-Drink on June 21, 2007 so the second quarter and YTD 2007 received limited impacted from the CSAB incremental marketing expenditures. CSAB expects to spend $50 million on
marketing the ACCELERADE brand that should have a positive effect on revenues in the second half of this year.
For the three months ended June 30, 2007, gross profit margin was 37.0% compared to 45.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2006. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, gross profit margin was 37.3% compared to 48.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2006. We experienced a change in our product mix. Also, in order to fully take advantage of the CSAB advertising spend, we redesigned all ACCELERADE and ACCEL GEL packaging to conform to the new CSAB ACCELERADE RTD packaging. To flush out old inventory, we aggressively discounted these products, leading to lower gross profit margins. We wrote off $49,000 of old packaging material, which is the equivalent of 2.4% of the three-month revenues. We experienced cost of production and raw material price increases, specifically whey protein, in our finished products from 2006 to 2007. We also experienced a significant increase in freight costs coupled with our
decision to provide free freight to more customers as a sales incentive. To address these issues, we have implemented our first ever price increase effective July 1, 2007. We believe this price increase should bring our margins back up to the low to mid 40% range as experienced for the year 2006. This price increase has met no resistance in the market place. 25
Selling, general, and administrative (S, G, & A) expenses increased to $830,663 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2007 from $782,430 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2006. S, G, & A expenses increased to $1,679,829 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2007 from $1,530,763 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2006. S, G, & A expenses increased primarily due to the investment in marketing and other expenses of $80,366 and $187,718 respectively, for the three- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2007 associated with the launch of SATIATRIM. We expect to continue to invest in the marketing of SATIATRIM. Late in the second quarter, we officially launched the product via a major public relations campaign that involves the Internet, radio, television, and print media. Research and development (R & D) expenses were $51,793 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $46,233 for the three months ended June 30, 2006. R & D expenses were $127,163 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 versus $87,484 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. We anticipate R & D expenses will increase as we conduct additional clinical trials and seek out additional patents and claims for all of our products. Interest expense was $1,226 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $1,487 for the three months ended June 30, 2006. Interest expense was $1,837 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $30,136 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. $24,634 of interest expense in 2006 was incurred in connection with our accounts receivable funding from USA Funding that was paid off upon the completion of the CSAB transaction in the first quarter of 2006. Income tax expense was $-0- for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006. Income tax expense was $-0- for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $1,278,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The income tax expense in the six months ended June 30, 2006 was due to the aforementioned CSAB transaction. The effective tax rate in 2006 differs from the statutory tax rate primarily due to the utilization of net operating losses to reduce taxable income. Results of Operations Years Ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 We generated net income applicable to common stockholders of $2,258,577, or $0.17 per share diluted, for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to a net loss applicable to common stockholders of ($652,410), or ($0.06) per share, for the year ended December 31, 2005. The net income for the year ended December 31, 2006 versus a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2005 is due primarily to the Motts transaction, a 14% increase in revenues, and a decrease in selling, general, and administrative expenses as detailed below. See section titled Business of Issuer - Activation of Muscle Growth, Energy and Transport Pathways - Exercise Performance above for a description of the Motts transaction. Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2006 were $6,209,846 compared to revenues of $5,444,558 for the same period in 2005. Revenues increased in 2006 as compared to 2005 because we paid significant promotional expenses to promote our products in 2005 that were deducted from revenues. No such promotional expenses were paid in 2006. Our gross profit margin on product sales increased to 44.1% in 2006 from 35.7% in 2005. The increase in gross profit margin for 2006 as compared to the same period in 2005 is due to the fact that we paid significant promotional expenses to promote our products in 2005 that were deducted from revenues. No such promotional expenses were paid in 2006. From time to time, we may incur additional promotional expenses in connection with the sale of our products. These promotional expenses should result in higher unit volumes of sales of these products. We anticipate that gross profit margin, as a percent of sales, may decrease as we move forward in 2007 due to increased costs of raw materials and manufacturing of our products. We are currently evaluating the costs of our products and we believe we may be able to better control these costs moving forward. We are also evaluating the possibility of increasing pricing to
offset any potential decreases in gross margin. Selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses decreased to $2,917,450 for the year ended December 31, 2006 from $3,721,567 for the year ended December 31, 2005. SG&A expenses decreased due primarily to decreases in advertising and marketing expenses no longer necessary due to the aforementioned Motts transaction, as well as a decrease in personnel. We expect that advertising and marketing expenses will increase in 2007 due to the launch of SATIATRIM®. Research and development expenses were $196,020 for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $195,242 for the year ended December 31, 2005. We anticipate R & D expenses will increase as we conduct additional clinical trials and seek out additional patents and claims for all of our products. 26
Interest expense decreased $70,718 to $31,416 for the year ended December 31, 2006 from $102,134 for the year ended December 31, 2005. Interest expense was incurred in connection with our accounts receivable funding from USA Funding described in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section below. Interest expense decreased for 2006 compared to 2005 because we discontinued the use of the accounts receivable funding when the Motts transaction closed. Liquidity and Capital Resources Our cash and liquidity position significantly improved with the sale on February 22, 2006 of our sports drink patents and trademarks to Motts for $4,000,000 cash plus future potential royalties. We used a portion of the cash proceeds of this transaction to repay $277,067 owed under our accounts receivable facility, to repay the $500,000 interest-bearing convertible note held by Hormel Health Labs, LLC, and approximately $611,981 owed to our exclusive contract manufacturer (an affiliate of Hormel). Prior to this transaction, we had experienced significant liquidity problems. There can be no assurance that we will not experience cash and liquidity problems again in the future. At June 30, 2007, our current assets exceeded our current liabilities by approximately $4,228,000 with a ratio of current assets to current liabilities of approximately 4.0 to 1. At June 30, 2007, cash on hand was $1,500,446, a decrease of $1,063,592 from December 31, 2006, primarily as the result of an increase of $674,490 in accounts receivable, an increase in inventory of $868,944, a increase in prepaid expenses of $28,096, an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $26,190, an increase in notes payable of $34,115 and an increase in deferred revenue of $87,921 from December 31, 2006. Accounts receivable increased at June 30, 2007 from December 31, 2006 due to normally higher revenues in the second quarter as compared to the fourth quarter of the previous year. Inventories increased in advance of both the ACCELERADE marketing initiatives and the SATIATRIM launch. Deferred revenue increased as a
major customer increased its inventories in the second quarter of 2007 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2006. We completed our pilot product launch of SATIATRIM during the early part of the second quarter of 2007 and on June 28, 2007, commenced the official launch of the product. Based upon the results of the pilot campaign, we have developed what we expect to be an effective marketing campaign. The primary aspects of the marketing campaign will consist of a public relations effort directed at leading womens magazines supplemented by numerous direct response campaigns including e-mail as well as a series of full-page color ads in one of the leading womans magazines. We are also expanding our efforts beyond the U.S. market. In August, a major direct response company will launch SATIATRIM in Great Britain. Approximately $450,000 of SATIATRIM finished goods inventory have lot expiration dates that commence in December 2007 with a final expiration date of January 11, 2008. We expect that we will be able to
sell through the entire finished goods inventory prior to the expiration of those lots. However, there can be no assurances that we will be able to sell through all or any of the inventory on hand as of June 30, 2007. If such inventory is not sold as of the early part of the fourth quarter of 2007, we will be required to write down such inventory at a loss equal to the value of the recorded inventory at that time. We will monitor the effectiveness of the marketing campaign throughout the third quarter of 2007. At December 31, 2006, our current assets exceeded our current liabilities by approximately $3,874,000 with a ratio of current assets to current liabilities of approximately 4.1 to 1. At December 31, 2006, cash on hand was $2,564,038, an increase of $2,425,551 from December 31, 2005, primarily as the result of the Motts transaction (see Item 1(b) above). Accounts receivable increased at December 31, 2006 from December 31, 2005 due to higher revenues in the fourth quarter of 2006 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2005. Inventory increased at December 31, 2006 from December 31, 2005 in anticipation of the launch of SATIATRIM® in January 2007. Deferred tax assets decreased due to our recognition of net operating loss in connection with the Motts transaction. Accounts payable and accrued expenses decreased primarily as a result of the
Motts transaction that enabled us to become current with our trade obligations. Deferred revenue decreased as our major customer increased its sell-through to the end-user consumers in 2006. Notes payable (other than the long-term convertible note discussed below) decreased $85,617 to $44,327 from December 31, 2005 primarily as a result of repaying our accounts receivable funding from USA Funding. The amount of available credit was based on the value of our eligible receivables from time to time up to $1,000,000. This credit facility bore interest at a rate of prime plus 1.75% as well as a 0.75% discount rate on all advances. At December 31, 2005, we had approximately $74,000 outstanding under this facility. On February 22, 2006, with the proceeds of the sale of our sports drink assets to Motts, we repaid this facility in full and terminated it. On January 28, 2005, we entered into a Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement and related agreements with Hormel Health Labs pursuant to which we issued and sold 90,909 shares of Series A Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $1,000,000 or $11.00 per share. The Series A Preferred Stock issued to Hormel was converted into an aggregate 909,091 shares of common stock on June 23, 2006. 27
On August 24, 2005, we entered into another securities purchase agreement with Hormel Health Labs. Pursuant to this purchase agreement, Hormel Health Labs loaned us the principal amount of $500,000 in exchange for the convertible note, which amount would accrue interest at a rate of 8% per annum. The outstanding principal balance under the note and any accrued but unpaid interest thereon was due and payable on August 24, 2007. On February 22, 2006, we repaid the principal and accrued interest of this note in full with the proceeds of the sale of assets to Motts. We have no material commitments for capital expenditures. Impact of Inflation We expect to be able to pass inflationary increases for raw materials and other costs on to our customers through price increases, as required, and do not expect inflation to be a significant factor in our business. However, our operating history is very limited, and this expectation is based more on observations of our competitors' historic operations than our own experience. Seasonality Sports nutrition products tend to be seasonal, especially in the colder climates. Lower sales are typically realized during the first and fourth fiscal quarters and higher sales are typically realized during the second and third fiscal quarters. We also plan our advertising and promotional campaigns for the ENDUROX® R4® and ACCELERADE® products around these seasonal demands. Weight loss products also have seasonality with greater sales seen in the first and second fiscal quarters following consumers New Year's resolutions to lose weight and their desire to lose weight in anticipation of the summer. Similarly, advertising and promotional expenditures for SATIETROL® will be designed to take advantage of this
seasonality. We believe that the impact of new product introductions and marketing expenses associated with the introduction of new products will have a far greater impact on our operations than industry and product seasonality. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements There are no off-balance sheet arrangements between us and any other entity that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that are material to investors. Impact of Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48), which clarifies the accounting and disclosure for uncertain tax positions, as defined. FIN 48 seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspects of the recognition and measurement related to accounting for income taxes. We have determined that the impact of the adoption of FIN 48 has no material effect on our results of operations or financial position. In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure requirements regarding fair value measurement. Where applicable, this statement simplifies and codifies fair value related guidance previously issued within U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently reviewing SFAS 157 to determine its impact and any material effect of its adoption. In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No.115 (SFAS 159). SFAS 159 provides companies with an option to measure, as specified election dates, many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently measured at fair value. A company that adopts SFAS 159 will report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company does not expect SFAS 159 to have a material
impact on its consolidated results of operations or financial condition. Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Certain accounting policies have a significant impact on amounts reported in financial statements.
A summary of 28
those significant accounting policies can be found in Note A to our financial statements.
We have not adopted any significant new accounting policies during the period ended December 31, 2006. In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses for the reporting period covered thereby. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Among such estimates made by management in the preparation of our financial statements are the determinations of the allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, and revenue recognition as it relates to customer returns. The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined by assessing the realizability of accounts receivable by taking into consideration the value of past due accounts and collectability based on credit worthiness of such customers. We assess the realizability of inventories by reviewing inventory to determine the value of items that are slow moving, lack marketability, and by analysis of the shelf life of products. Estimates are made for sales returns based on historical experience with actual returns. Starting in 2004, certain of our products were subject to minimum sales thresholds by a significant retail customer. These sales thresholds are based on quantities sold- through at the
retail level. We record revenue with respect to these products at the time the goods are sold-through to the end user as reported to us by the customer. We analyze retail sell-through data provided by the customer and our expectations of future customer sell-through trends. Based upon this information, we determine if any reserves for returns are necessary. Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Certain accounting policies have a significant impact on amounts reported in financial statements. A summary of those significant accounting policies can be found in Note A to our financial statements. 29

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION Summary of Cash and Other Compensation The table below sets forth information concerning compensation paid to Dr. Robert Portman and Stephen Kuchen in 2006. None of our executive officers other than Dr. Portman and Mr. Kuchen received compensation of $100,000 or more in fiscal 2006.

Assumptions used in the calculation of this amount are included in Note A[10] of our audited financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 included in this prospectus and in Note B[10] of our audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2006.. (3) Perquisites and other personal benefits received by Dr. Portman in the aggregate were less than $10,000. (4) Effective as of January 1, 2007, Mr. Kuchens base salary was increased to $150,000. Employment Agreements The annual base salary reflected in the Summary Compensation Table for Dr. Portman is fixed in his employment agreement, which is described below. We do not have a written or unwritten employment agreement with Mr. Kuchen. His annual base salary is determined by our Compensation Committee and is adjusted periodically. 32
During 2006, we employed Dr. Portman under an extension of his employment agreement. This agreement provided that Dr. Portman was entitled to receive salary compensation of $275,000 per year, but that he would receive $225,000 as an annual base salary until our financial condition significantly improved. When our financial condition improved, he would receive the accrued difference of $50,000. Following the closing of our sale of intellectual property assets to Motts in February 2006, Dr. Portman received $50,000 pursuant to this provision of the extension employment agreement. In addition, the extension employment agreement provided that Dr. Portman was entitled to an annual bonus not to exceed 100% of his base salary. Dr. Portmans eligibility for, and the amount of, this bonus, was to be based upon attainment of milestones by the company and/or Dr. Portman. No milestones for this bonus were established
during 2006, and no bonus was paid in 2006. Under the extension employment agreement, Dr. Portman received options to purchase up to 450,000 shares of our common stock pursuant to our 2000 Stock Option Plan. The exercise price of the options was set at $0.65 per share, which was the prevailing market price of our common stock at September 1, 2004. One-third of the options vested on September 1, 2004, one-third on September 1, 2005, and the remaining one-third on September 1, 2006. Under the extension employment agreement, Dr. Portman was also entitled to payments upon his termination or upon a change-in-control of the company as described below under the heading Post-Termination or Change-In-Control Payments. The term of the extension employment agreement terminated on December 31, 2006. On December 13, 2006, our Compensation Committee recommended, and our full Board of Directors approved, the terms of a new employment agreement with Dr. Portman, effective January 1, 2007. Under the new employment agreement, Dr. Portman will receive a salary of $295,000 per year, as well as a car allowance in the amount of $975 per month. In addition, Dr. Portman will be entitled to an annual bonus not to exceed 100% of his base salary. Dr. Portmans eligibility for, and the amount of, this bonus will be based upon attainment of milestones by the company and/or Dr. Portman. The milestones will be agreed upon by Dr. Portman and our Compensation Committee. No milestones have been determined at this time. The term of Dr. Portmans employment agreement will terminate on December 31, 2008, unless terminated earlier by either Dr. Portman or the company. Dr. Portman has the right to terminate the employment
agreement without cause on thirty days prior written notice, or with cause. The company also has the right to terminate Dr. Portmans employment agreement with or without cause. In addition, if Dr. Portmans employment is terminated by us without cause, or by Dr. Portman for cause, any stock options granted to Dr. Portman, to the extent not already vested, will vest. Under the new employment agreement, Dr. Portman also will be entitled to payments upon his termination or upon a change-in-control of the company as described below under the heading Post-Termination or Change-In-Control Payments. Equity Awards in 2006 During 2006, our Compensation Committee recommended, and our full Board of Directors approved, stock option awards to our executive officers as follows: Executive Officer Number of Shares of Common Exercise Price Grant Date Dr. Robert Portman 300,000 $0.60 February 13, 2006 275,000 $1.13 December 13, 2006 Stephen Kuchen 100,000 $0.60 February 13, 2006 50,000 $1.13 December 13, 2006 Each of the options listed above vests over a three-year period in equal, annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant. The exercise price per share of the options is equal to the closing price, on the date of the grant, of our common stock on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board. The stock option awards granted to Dr. Portman in 2006 were not issued under any of our stock option plan, but the terms and conditions of Dr. Portmans awards are similar to those of our 2000 Incentive Stock Option Plan. The 2006 stock option awards to Stephen Kuchen were granted under our 1995 Incentive Stock Option Plan. The material terms of the 1995 Incentive Stock Plan and the 2000 Incentive Stock Option Plan are described in Note H to our audited financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 included elsewhere in this prospectus. 33

Post-Termination or Change-In-Control Payments Under his employment agreement with us, Dr. Portman has the right to receive payments upon his termination in certain circumstances and in the event of a change-in-control of the company. The terms relating to post-termination and change-in-control payments in Dr. Portmans new employment agreement that became effective January 1, 2007 are identical to those in the extension employment agreement that was effective during 2006.
If Dr. Portman's employment is terminated for any reason whatsoever (except by us with cause),
Dr. Portman will be entitled to receive a lump sum payment of an amount equal to the base salary which
would have been paid during the period beginning on the date of termination of employment and ending
on the earlier of (1) the scheduled termination date, or (2) the first anniversary date of the termination date.
Upon Dr. Portman's termination for any reason, including his voluntary 34
termination, Dr. Portman will not be bound by any non-competition agreement unless we continue to pay his salary, in which case he will be subject to a one-year non-competition agreement. In addition, if Dr. Portmans employment is terminated by us without cause or by Dr. Portman for cause, any stock options granted to Dr. Portman, to the extent not already vested, will vest. In the event of a change-in-control of the company, Dr. Portman will be entitled to be paid, as additional compensation, a lump sum equal to his annual base salary in effect immediately prior to the change-in-control, payable at closing or completion of the change-in-control, or otherwise as required under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. At the same time, all of his unvested options will vest. A change-in-control means: the acquisition of beneficial ownership, by any stockholder or group of stockholders, not including stockholders who are our officers or directors on the date of the employment agreement or any affiliate of such officer or director, of shares of our capital stock entitled to cast at least 50% of all votes which may be cast in the election of our directors, or any sale of the company, including any merger or consolidation involving the company if the stockholders of the company prior to the merger hold less than 50% of the shares of the combined entity after the merger, or the transfer or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the company. Under our arrangement with Mr. Kuchen, in the event of a sale, merger or change in control of the company, Mr. Kuchen will receive one-half of his annual salary and all of his options would become immediately vested. If Mr. Kuchen were subsequently terminated, Mr. Kuchen would receive one-half of his annual salary as severance. DIRECTOR COMPENSATION In the past, we have compensated our non-employee Directors with awards of options to purchase shares of our common stock at an exercise price equal to the closing trading price of our common stock on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board on the date of grant. In the past, we have not granted option awards to our non-employee Directors who are associated with Hormel Health Labs, LLC or Hormel Foods Corporation. Dr. Robert Portman, our Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, President and Chief Scientific Officer, and Stephen Kuchen, our Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Treasurer and Secretary, receive no compensation for their services as Directors because they are employees of the company. The compensation received by Dr. Portman and Mr. Kuchen as employees of the company is shown in the Summary Compensation Table on page 18. Director Compensation Table The table below summarizes the compensation that we paid to non-employee Directors for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. Name Fees Earned or Paid in Cash ($) Stock Awards ($) Option Awards ($) Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation ($) Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Earnings ($) All Other Compensation ($) Total ($) (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (f) (g) (h) David I.

(1) The amounts in column (d) reflect the dollar amount recognized for financial statement reporting purposes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, in accordance with SFAS 123(R) of awards of stock options and thus include amounts from awards granted in and prior to 2006. Assumptions used in the calculation of this amount are included in Note A[10] of our audited financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 included elsewhere in this prospectus and in Note B[10] of our audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB filed with the SEC on March 31, 2006. As of December 31, 2006, each Director had the following number of options outstanding: David I. Portman 85,000; and Michael Cahr 80,000. (2) Mr. Jamison resigned as a director on September 12, 2006. Mr. Jamison was elected to our Board of Directors pursuant to the Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement between us and Hormel Health Labs, LLC as the holder of all of our outstanding Series A Preferred Stock. That agreement gave the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock the right to designate an individual to be nominated to our Board, provided that such designee would be considered an independent director. Mr. Jamison resigned from our Board in connection with a change in his area of responsibility within Hormel. (3) Mr. Rowbal was elected as director on September 25, 2006 by our Board of Directors. Mr. Rowbal is Business Unit Controller for the Specialty Foods Group of Hormel Foods Corporation and was elected to our Board of Director at the suggestion of Hormel Health Labs. Mr. Rowbal was not elected pursuant to any arrangement or understanding. Previously, Hormel Health Labs had the right by agreement to designate an individual to be nominated to our Board of Directors. This right lapsed, however, when Hormel Health Labs converted its shares of our Series A Preferred Stock to common stock. Mr. Rowbal resigned on December 7, 2006. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS During the last two fiscal years, we have not entered into any material transactions or series of transactions which, in the aggregate, would be considered material in which any officer, director or beneficial owner of 5% or more of any class of our capital stock, or any immediate family member of any of the preceding persons, had a direct or indirect material interest, nor are any such transactions presently proposed, except as follows: (a) On January 12, 2005, six of the directors then serving on our Board of Directors loaned us an aggregate amount of $60,000, which amount was intended to be a bridge loan pending financing. This amount was repaid with the proceeds of the sale of preferred stock described below. (b) On January 28, 2005, we entered into a Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement and related agreements with Hormel Health Labs, LLC pursuant to which we issued and sold 90,909 shares of Series A Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $1,000,000 or $11.00 per share. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued to Hormel were convertible into an aggregate 909,091 shares of common stock, subject to adjustment. In connection with the Series A Stock Purchase Agreement, we entered into an Investors Rights Agreement with Hormel on the same date. Under the Investors Rights Agreement, we agreed, upon request by the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, and subject to customary terms and conditions, to file a registration statement with the SEC registering for resale the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of
the Series A Preferred Stock. Under the Investors Rights Agreement, we also agreed to include the common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock in any other registration statement we filed with the SEC. As long as at least 50% of the original shares of the Series A Preferred Stock remained outstanding, the holders had the right to designate an individual to be nominated to our Board of Directors, provided that such designee would be considered an independent director under the Exchange Act. We and Hormel later amended and restated the Investors Rights Agreement in connection with Hormels $500,000 loan to us in exchange for our secured convertible promissory note. See paragraph (d) below. Also in connection with the Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, we entered into a Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement with Hormel and Dr. Robert Portman, the Chairman of our Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer. Under this agreement, we
and Hormel had the right of first refusal to purchase shares of our common stock, which were held by Dr. Portman and which he wished to sell, at the price and terms offered by a third party. In addition, if the right of first refusal was not exercised in connection with any sale by Dr. Portman, Hormel would have the right to require a portion of its shares to be included with Dr. Portmans sale to a third party. Certain sales by Dr. Portman were exempt from these restrictions, including public sales by Dr. Portman pursuant to Rule 144. We terminated the Investors Rights Agreement and the Co-Sale Agreement in January 2007. See paragraph(f) below.
(c) On January 28, 2005, we entered into an Exclusive Custom Manufacturing Agreement
with an affiliate of Hormel. The agreement provides for the exclusive manufacturing and processing of our powered sports drinks at fixed 36
prices.
The initial term of the agreement is one year. This was extended to two years under a new Securities Purchase Agreement which is described below in paragraph (d).
This agreement was terminated in 2007. (d) On August 24, 2005, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Hormel. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, Hormel loaned us the principal amount of $500,000 in exchange for our secured convertible promissory note, which amount accrued interest at a rate of 8% per annum. The outstanding principal balance under the note and any accrued but unpaid interest thereon was due and payable on August 24, 2007 to the extent that Hormel had not exercised certain conversion rights under the note. On February 22, 2006, we repaid the principal and accrued interest on the note in full. (e) On February 22, 2006, we sold to Mott's LLP the patents, trademarks, web sites and other intellectual property related to our ACCELERADE® and ENDUROX® sports nutrition product lines, and we entered into a license agreement with Motts that gives us the exclusive, royalty free right to continue to sell these products in powder, gel and pill form. In connection with these transactions, Dr. Robert Portman, our Chairman, CEO, President and Chief Scientific Officer, entered into a Consulting, License and Non-Competition Agreement for a period ending on the later of the second anniversary of launch of a product by Mott's or February 22, 2009. Under the consulting agreement, Dr. Portman will consult with Mott's with respect to research, development, enhancement, testing, marketing and sale of products related to the
transferred intellectual property. Dr. Portman will not receive any compensation for these services, other than for personal appearances at certain speaking engagements and media opportunities. Dr. Portman is significantly limited in his ability to engage in the research, development, testing, marketing, sale or distribution of sports drinks, except with respect to our activities under the License Agreement or on behalf of Mott's. Under the consulting agreement, Dr. Portman has licensed, for no additional compensation, the non-exclusive right to use his name, in connection with the packaging, marketing and sale of any products by Mott's under the ACCELERADE® and ENDUROX® brands. In the license agreement between the company and Motts, we granted Mott's similar rights to use the company's name. The breach of certain covenants by Dr. Portman in the consulting agreement may give Mott's the right to terminate the company's rights under the license agreement or the royalty
payments under the asset purchase agreement. (f) Effective January 5, 2007, we terminated the amended and restated Investors Rights Agreement that we initially entered in with Hormel on January 28, 2005. The other party to this transaction was Diamond Crystal Sales, LLC, which acted in its capacity as successor to Hormel following Hormels merger with and into Diamond effective October 31, 2006. In addition, effective as of January 5, 2007, we, Diamond and Dr. Robert Portman, our Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Scientific Officer and Chairman of the Board, terminated the Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement into which we, Hormel and Dr. Portman had previously entered on January 28, 2005. The termination of the Investors Rights Agreement and the Co-Sale Agreement occurred in connection with Diamonds sale of the 909,091 shares of our common
shares previously held by Hormel in a private transaction to certain purchasers effective January 5, 2007. Hormel had acquired the 909,091 shares of our common stock upon its conversion of the 90,909 shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock that it purchased pursuant to the Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement which is described in paragraph (b) above. Upon the closing of Diamonds sale of the common stock, the Investor Rights Agreement and the Co-Sale Agreement, and all rights, duties, obligations and liabilities of the parties under the agreements, terminated. This included termination of any liability for breach or non-fulfillment of either agreement prior to the sale of the common stock. The purchasers of the shares of common stock sold by Diamond included Dr. Robert Portman, David Portman and Michael Cahr, each of whom purchased 100,000 shares at $0.95 per share. Messrs. Portman and Cahr were members of our Board at the time of the transaction. The
purchasers also included the Aquifer Opportunity Fund of which Adam Mizel, one or our Directors, is the Managing Principal. At the time of the transaction, Mr. Mizel was not yet one of our Directors. 37
As of October 2, 2007, we had 13,486,426 shares of common stock outstanding. The following table sets forth information concerning the present ownership of our common stock by our directors, executive officers and each person known to us to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the outstanding shares of our common stock.

(8) Includes 318,048 shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants granted pursuant to a 2003 Private Placement and 127,500 shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants granted pursuant to consulting services pursuant to a 2003 Private Placement.

As the sole general partner of the Diker Funds, Diker GP, has the power to vote and dispose of the shares of our common stock owned by the Diker Funds and, accordingly, may be deemed the beneficial owner of such shares. Pursuant to investment advisory agreements, Diker Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Diker Management"), serves as the investment manager of the Diker Funds. Accordingly,
Diker Management may be deemed the beneficial owner of shares held by the Diker Funds. Charles M. Diker and Mark N. Diker are the managing members of each of Diker GP and Diker Management, and in that capacity direct their operations. Therefore, Charles M. Diker and Mark N. Diker may be beneficial owners of shares beneficially owned by Diker GP and Diker Management. Diker GP, Diker Management, Charles M. Diker and Mark N. Diker disclaim all beneficial ownership as affiliates of a Registered Investment Adviser, and in any case disclaim beneficial ownership except to the extent of their pecuniary interest in the shares.

We are authorized to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0025 per share, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, no par value. As of the date of this prospectus, there are 13,486,426 shares of common stock outstanding. We also have outstanding options and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,199,500 additional shares of common stock, in addition to the 792,330 shares issuable upon exercise of warrants that may be resold under this prospectus. The options and warrants do not confer upon holders any voting, dividend or other rights as stockholders of PacificHealth. The following is a summary of the material terms of our common stock and our preferred stock. This summary does not purport to be complete or to contain all the information that may be important to you and is qualified in its entirety by reference to our certificate of incorporation, as amended, and bylaws, as amended. We encourage you to read the provisions of these documents to the extent they relate to your individual investment strategy. Our certificate of incorporation, as amended, and bylaws, as amended, are filed as exhibits to our Registration Statement on Form SB-2 (Registration No. 333-36379) filed on September 25, 1997. An amendment to our certificate of incorporation increasing the authorized number of shares of common stock is filed as an exhibit to our annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2002. The Certificate of Designations relating to our Series A Preferred Stock is
filed as Exhibit 3.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 28, 2005. The Certificate of Designations relating to our Series B Preferred Stock is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 4, 2005. See the section of this prospectus entitled Where You Can Find More Information. Common Stock Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any preferred stock outstanding at the time, the holders of outstanding shares of common stock are entitled to receive dividends out of assets legally available therefore at such time and in such amounts as our Board of Directors may, from time to time, determine in its sole discretion. Holders of common stock are also entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders. The common stock is not entitled to preemptive rights and is not subject to redemption. Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up the assets legally available for distribution to shareholders are distributable ratably among the holders of the common stock and of any participating preferred stock outstanding at that time after payment of the liquidation preferences, if any, on all outstanding preferred stock and payment of
creditors' claims. Each outstanding share of common stock is fully paid and non-assessable. Preferred Stock Our certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of preferred stock with such designations, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by our Board of Directors. Accordingly, our Board of Directors is empowered, without shareholder approval, to issue preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of the common stock. Issuance of preferred stock could be utilized, under certain circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of PacificHealth. Series A Preferred Stock All of the outstanding shares of our Series A Preferred Stock have been converted into shares of our common stock and no shares are available for issuance. Warrants The following is a brief summary of the warrants held by the Selling Stockholders. This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in all respects by reference to the actual text of the warrants. The form of the warrants held by the Selling Stockholders is filed as Exhibit 4.6 to our Registration Statement on Form SB-2 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 29, 2003. Exercise Price and Terms
Each warrant entitles the registered holder thereof to purchase one share of common stock,
at any time during the five-year period commencing on the original issue date, at an exercise price equal to $.6325.
The holder of any warrant may exercise such warrant by surrendering the certificate representing the warrant to us,
with the subscription form thereon properly completed and executed, together with payment of the exercise price.
The warrants may be exercised at any time in whole or in part at the applicable exercise price until the expiration of the warrants.
No fractional shares will be issued upon the 42
exercise of the warrants. Redemption Beginning one year after the initial closing of the private placement pursuant to which we issued the warrants, we may redeem any or all outstanding and unexercised warrants at a price of $.05 per warrant share upon 30 days notice if both (a) during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on the date prior to the giving of the notice the market price for at least 20 of such days is in excess of 200% of the warrant exercise price, and (b) the average daily trading volume during the 30 consecutive trading day period is in excess of 30,000 shares per day. Adjustments The exercise price and the number of shares of common stock purchasable upon the exercise of the warrants are subject to adjustment, upon the occurrence of certain events, including stock dividends, stock splits, combinations or reclassifications of the common stock. Additionally, an adjustment will be made in the case of a reclassification or exchange of common stock, consolidation or merger of us with or into another corporation, sale of all or substantially all of our assets or our dissolution, in order to enable warrantholders to acquire the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or property receivable in such event by a holder of the number of shares of common stock that might have been purchased upon the exercise of the warrant. Transfer, Exchange and Exercise Subject to applicable securities law, the warrants may be presented to us for transfer, exchange or exercise at any time on or prior to their expiration date, at which time the warrants become wholly void and of no value. Warrantholders Not Shareholders The warrants do not confer upon holders any voting, dividend or other rights as our shareholders. Certain Provisions of Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws and Delaware Anti-Takeover Law Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws Certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws could make it more difficult to acquire us by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest, or otherwise, and the removal of incumbent officers and directors. These provisions are expected to discourage certain types of coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids and to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of our company to first negotiate with us. We believe that the benefits of increased protection of our potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure us outweighs the disadvantages of discouraging such proposals, including proposals that are priced above the then current market value of our common stock, because, among other things, negotiation of such proposals could result in an improvement of their terms. Issuance of Preferred Stock As noted above, our Board of Directors, without shareholder approval, has the authority under our certificate of incorporation to issue preferred stock with rights superior to the rights of the holders of common stock. As a result, preferred stock could be issued quickly and easily, could adversely affect the rights of holders of common stock and could be issued with terms calculated to delay or prevent a change in control of us or make removal of management more difficult. Number and Terms of Directors Pursuant to our bylaws, our Board of Directors has the authority to determine the number of directors that will constitute our Board of Directors and the terms of office of directors. The power of the Board of Directors to increase the number of directors to a maximum of nine and to determine directors' terms of office could make it more difficult for shareholders to replace a majority of the Board of Directors, may discourage a third party from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to gain control of us and may maintain the incumbency of the Board of Directors. Advance Notice of Nominations and Shareholder Proposals
Our bylaws generally require at least 60 but no more than 90 days' advance notice by a shareholder of a proposal or director 42
nomination that such shareholder desires to present at any annual meeting or special meeting of shareholders,
which would prevent a shareholder from making a proposal or a director nomination at a shareholder meeting without our
having advance notice of the proposal or director nomination. In the event that we give less than 70 days'
notice or prior public disclosure of the date of any meeting of shareholders, a shareholder must provide notice of a
proposal or director nomination to us no later than ten days following the day on which the notice of such meeting was
mailed or public disclosure of the date of such meeting was made. These provisions could make a change in control more
difficult by providing the incumbent directors with more time to prepare an opposition to a proposed change in control.
Special Meetings of Our Shareholders May Be Called Only by the Board of Directors, the Chairman, the President or the Holders of a Majority of the Outstanding Shares of Common Stock Our bylaws only permit the Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the President or the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote at such meeting to call a special meeting of shareholders. This provision may prevent a shareholder with less than a majority interest from calling a special meeting unless such shareholder first obtains adequate support from a sufficient number of other shareholders. Amendment of Our Bylaws Our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws authorize the Board of Directors to alter, amend or repeal the bylaws or adopt new bylaws by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors present at any regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors at which a quorum is present. Our bylaws permit shareholders to alter, amend or repeal the bylaws or adopt new bylaws by the affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds of the shares of our common stock of entitled to vote at any regular or special meeting of shareholders, provided that notice of such alteration, amendment, repeal or adoption of new bylaws is stated in the notice of any such special meeting. These provisions would prevent a shareholder with less than a two-thirds interest from altering, amending or repealing any bylaw or adopting any new bylaw unless such shareholder had first obtained adequate support from a sufficient number of other
shareholders, but would permit a majority of the directors to take such action without approval of shareholders. No Cumulative Voting in the Election of Directors Our shareholders are not permitted to cumulate their votes in the election of directors. As a result, shareholders owning a majority of our common stock may elect all of the directors. The Delaware General Corporation Law We are not subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. This provision generally prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any business combination with any interested shareholder for a period of three years following the date the shareholder became an interested shareholder, unless prior to such date, the board of directors of the corporation approves either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the shareholder becoming an interested shareholder, upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the shareholder becoming an interested shareholder, the interested shareholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the number of shares outstanding those shares owned by persons who are directors and officers and by employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer, or on or subsequent to such date, the business combination is approved by the board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of shareholders and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested shareholder. Section 203 defines a business combination to include: any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested shareholder, any sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition of 10% or more of the assets of the corporation involving the interested shareholder, 43
subject to certain exceptions, any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to the interested shareholder, any transaction involving the corporation that has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of the stock of any class or series of the corporation beneficially owned by the interested shareholder, or the receipt by the interested shareholder of the benefit of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits provided by or through the corporation. In general, Section 203 defines an interested shareholder as any entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation and any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or controlled by such entity or person. Disclosure of Commission Position on Indemnification for Securities Act Liabilities Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended, authorizes us to indemnify any director or officer under certain prescribed circumstances and subject to certain limitations against certain costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, to which such person is a party by reason of being a director or officer of us if it is determined that such person acted in accordance with the applicable standard of conduct. Article NINTH of our certificate of incorporation, as amended, provides for the indemnification of directors and officers to the full extent permitted by Delaware law. We may also purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of any director or officer which may cover claims for which we could not indemnify such person. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. 44

PACIFICHEALTH LABORATORIES, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2007 AND 2006 (UNAUDITED) 1. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information
and with the instructions for Form 10-QSB and Item 310 of Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary
for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected
for the year ending December 31, 2007. The unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Company's annual report on Form
10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006. On February 22, 2006, pursuant to an
Asset Purchase Agreement of the same date, the Company sold to Motts LLP, a division of Cadbury Schweppes Americas Beverages (CSAB) the patents, trademarks,
web sites, and other intellectual property related to its ACCELERADE and ENDUROX sports nutrition product lines for $4,000,000 in cash and potential future royalty payments.
Simultaneously, the Company entered into a License Agreement with CSAB giving it the exclusive, royalty free right to continue to sell its sports nutrition products in powder,
gel and pill form. Consequently, the Company will continue to sell its current sports nutrition products in the same manner as prior to the sale of the intellectual property assets. The Company will receive royalty payments for a finite period following the launch of a product using the purchased assets, subject to an annual limitation on the amount of the royalty. There are no minimum royalties. CSAB launched a ready-to-drink (RTD) product in late June 2007. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The significant estimates and assumptions made by the Company are in the area of revenue recognition as it relates to customer returns, inventory obsolescence, allowance for doubtful accounts, and valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, and valuation of equity instruments issued under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ( SFAS ) No. 123R, Share-Based Payment ("SFAS 123R"). 2. Revenue Recognition Sales are recognized when all of the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (3) the sellers price to the buyer is fixed and determinable; and, (4) collectibility is reasonably assured. Sales are recorded net of incentives paid to customers. The Company has a sales agreement with a significant customer for all products sold to this customer whereby all unsold product is subject to return provisions. The Company recognizes revenue when this major customer sells through its products to its consumers. At June 30, 2007, the Company has deferred $332,118 in revenues related to this customer. At December 31, 2006, the Company had deferred $244,197 in revenues related to this customer. 3. Inventories As of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, inventories consisted of the following: F-5

Income Taxes The Company has approximately $12,398,000 in federal and $671,000 in state net operating loss carryovers generated through December 31, 2006 that can be used to offset future taxable income in calendar years 2007 through 2026. The net operating loss carryovers will expire in the year 2015 through the year 2026. As of June 30, 2007, the Company has fully reserved for these net operating loss carryovers. In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48), which clarifies the accounting and disclosure for uncertain tax positions, as defined. FIN 48 seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspects of the recognition and measurement related to accounting for income taxes. The Company adopted the provision of FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN 48 had no material effect on the Companys results of operations or financial position. 6.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Directors and We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of PacificHealth Laboratories, Inc. as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended. 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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. 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 financial position of PacificHealth Laboratories, Inc. as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. As discussed in Note A [10] to the financial statements, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, applying the modified prospective method at the beginning of the year ended December 31, 2006. Weiser LLP New York, New York March 12, 2007 F-9
Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2006 and 2005 NOTE A - THE COMPANY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
[1]
The Company: The Company was incorporated in April 1995 to discover, develop, and commercialize nutritional products that are patentable and substantiated by well-controlled clinical trials conducted at leading university research centers. The Companys principal areas of focus include sports performance, weight loss, and management of type II diabetes. The Company utilizes third-party contractors to manufacture all products. On February 22, 2006, the Company sold the trademarks, technology, and patents for its sports nutrition brands, Accelerade® and Endurox® R4 ® to Motts LLP (Motts). Such patents were held by the Companys CEO, Robert Portman, and assigned to the Company when such patents were issued. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company received a $4 million upfront payment and will receive a royalty based on future sales for a defined period. Simultaneously, the Company and Motts entered into a License Agreement giving the Company the exclusive, royalty-free right to continue to sell these products in powder, gel and pill form. Consequently, the Company will continue to market its current sports nutrition products in the same manner as prior to the sale of the intellectual property assets. The Companys CEO is required to
provide
consulting services to Motts on an as-needed basis not to exceed 130 hours per year. Under the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company received $4,000,000 at closing and, if Motts launches a product using the purchased assets, the Company will receive royalty payments for a finite period following such launch, subject to an annual limitation on the amount of the royalty. There are no minimum royalties and there is no specific time by which Motts must launch a product, but the Company will have the option to repurchase the assets if a product is not launched within a time specified in the Asset Purchase Agreement. The Company used a portion of the cash proceeds of this transaction to repay $277,067 owed under our accounts receivable facility, the $500,000 Convertible Note with interest held by Hormel, and $611,981 owed to our exclusive contract manufacturer, an affiliate of Hormel. [2] Cash and cash equivalents: The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. [3] Allowance for doubtful accounts: Accounts receivable consist of trade receivables recorded at original invoice amount, less an estimated allowance for uncollectible accounts. Trade credit is generally extended on a short-term basis; thus trade receivables do not bear interest. Trade receivables are periodically evaluated for collectibility by considering a number of factors including the length of time an invoice is past due, the customers' credit worthiness and historical bad debt experience. Changes in the estimated collectibility of trade receivables are recorded in the results of operations for the period in which the estimate is revised. Trade receivables that are deemed uncollectible are offset against the allowance for uncollectible accounts. The Company generally does not require collateral for trade receivables. [4] Inventories: Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method. The Company determines its reserve for obsolete inventory by considering a number of factors, including product shelf life, marketability, and obsolescence. [5] Property and equipment: Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives ranging from 2 to 5 years. Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2006 and 2005 [6] Earnings (loss) per share: Basic earnings (loss) per common share are computed by dividing net income (loss) applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the year. The dilutive effect of the outstanding stock warrants and options is computed using the treasury stock method. For the year ended December 31, 2006, diluted income per share did not include the effect of 779,500 options outstanding as their effect would be anti-dilutive. For the year ended December 31, 2005, diluted loss per share did not include the effect of 2,125,500 options outstanding and 2,271,275 warrants outstanding, respectively, as their effect would be anti-dilutive. In addition, for the year ended December 31, 2005, shares for convertible preferred stock
(909,091) and convertible notes payable (1,960,784) are not included in weighted average number of common shares as their effect would be anti-dilutive. [7] Revenue recognition: Sales are recognized when all of the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (3) the sellers price to the buyer is fixed and determinable; and, (4) collectibility is reasonably assured. Sales are recorded net of incentives paid to customers. In December 2003, the Company entered into a purchasing agreement with a significant customer for its strength training products whereby all unsold product is subject to a right of return provision if certain minimum levels of retail sales in a 12-month period of time from the date of initial sale are not achieved. In March 2005, its major customer informed the Company that they would discontinue carrying the Companys strength training products. The Company and the customer agreed to a significant discount program in the second quarter of 2005 to transfer these products to the customer with no further recourse to the Company. Given the ongoing significant business relationship between the Company and the customer, the Company discounted product to the customer even though it was not contractually obligated to do so. In April 2004, the Company entered into a purchasing agreement with the same significant customer for all other products sold to this customer whereby all unsold product is subject to return provisions identical or similar to the one disclosed above. Through December 31, 2004, in addition to the four criteria described above, the Company recognized revenue related to these products after analyzing retail sell-through data provided by the customer and the Companys expectation of future customer sell-through trends. A new agreement was signed in April 2005 that increased minimum levels of retail sell-through requirements. Since January 1, 2005, the Company recognizes revenue when its major customer sells through its products to the consumer. This change was made due to the inability to accurately estimate future returns from this customer as the Company has previously
agreed to accept returns/discounts of product from this customer that it was not contractually obligated to do so as well as because the Company entered into a new purchasing agreement with this customer that increased certain sell-through minimums. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, shipments to this customer amounting to $244,197 and $369,068, respectively, have been reflected as deferred revenue in the Companys balance sheet. In the second quarter of 2005, we entered into an agreement with our major customer to resolve the status of certain products previously sold to this customer amounting to $597,781 and previously recorded as deferred revenue. In connection with this settlement, the customer agreed to accept $257,957 of inventory as final product purchases from us with no future obligations on behalf of the Company. As a result, $257,957 previously recorded as deferred was taken into revenue in 2005. In addition as of December 31, 2005, the Company has paid back $179,334 to this customer. The balance of $179,335, which is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the December 31, 2005 balance sheet, was repaid to the customer in equal monthly installments through June 2006. Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2006 and 2005 [8] Research and development: Costs of research and development activities are expensed as incurred. [9] Advertising costs: Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. During 2006 and 2005, the Company recorded advertising expense of $104,705 and $603,376, respectively. [10] Stock-based compensation: Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123R, Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS 123R") which establishes standards for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. SFAS 123R focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions, including issuances of stock options to employees. As a result of the adoption of SFAS 123R utilizing the Modified Prospective method, the Company recorded a charge of $176,261 in the year ended December 31, 2006, representing the effect on income from continuing operations, income before income taxes, and net income. The impact of the adoption of 123R was to reduce basic and diluted earnings per share by $0.02 and $0.01, respectively, in the year ended December 31,
2006. For fiscal year 2005, the Company applied the intrinsic value method pursuant to APB Opinion No. 25 in accounting for its employee stock option plans and, accordingly, no compensation cost had been recognized in the financial statements in fiscal year 2005 for employee stock options, all of which had an exercise price equal to the fair value of the stock on the date of the grant. Had the Company determined compensation cost based on the fair value at the grant date for its stock options under SFAS No. 123R, and amortized such costs over the vesting period, the Company's net loss for the year ended December 31, 2005 on a pro forma basis would have been increased as indicated below: Year Ended December 31, 2005 Reported net loss applicable to common stockholders $ (652,410) Stock-based employee compensation determined under the fair value-based method (143,113) Pro forma net loss $ (795,523) Basic and diluted net loss per share: As reported $ (0.06) Pro forma $ (0.08) The fair value of each option grant on the date of grant is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with a volatility ranging from 102% to 117% for 2006 and from 100% to 103% for 2005, expected life of the options of 5 years, risk-free interest rate of approximately 5% in 2006 and 3% in 2005 and a dividend yield of 0%. The weighted average fair values of options granted during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 were $0.80 and $0.19, respectively. [11] Segment information: The Company operates in one business segment: the design, development and marketing of dietary and nutritional supplements that enhance health and well-being. Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2006 and 2005 [12] Income taxes: The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined on the basis of the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their respective financial reporting amounts ("temporary differences") at enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Any resulting deferred tax asset is reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance for any tax benefits that are not expected to be realized. [13] Impairment of long-lived assets: Long-lived assets, to be held and used, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable using expected future undiscounted cash flows. When required, impairment losses on assets to be held and used are recognized based on the excess of the assets' carrying amount over their fair values as determined by selling prices for similar assets or application of other appropriate valuation techniques. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of their carrying amounts or fair values less disposal costs. [14] Comprehensive income (loss): The Company does not have any comprehensive income (loss) items at December 31, 2006 and 2005. [15] Recent accounting pronouncements: In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48), which clarifies the accounting and disclosure for uncertain tax positions, as defined. FIN 48 seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspects of the recognition and measurement related to accounting for income taxes. The Company has determined that the impact of the adoption of FIN 48 has no material effect on the results of operations or financial position. In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure requirements regarding fair value measurement. Where applicable, this statement simplifies and codifies fair value related guidance previously issued within U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently reviewing SFAS 157 to determine its impact and any material effect of its adoption. [16] Use of estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The significant estimates and assumptions made by the Company are in the areas of revenue recognition, inventory obsolescence, allowance for doubtful accounts, and valuation allowances for deferred tax assets. NOTE B - INVENTORIES Inventories, which are held at third-party warehouses and on consignment with customers, consist of the following and include obsolescence reserves of $545,648 at December 31, 2006 and $723,972 at December 31, 2005 which are netted against finished goods at third party warehouse: Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2006 and 2005 NOTE C - PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment consist of the following: Depreciation expense aggregated $50,905 and $64,638 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. NOTE D - NOTES PAYABLE Included in notes payable at December 31, 2006 and 2005 is $-0- and $74,000 pursuant to the Company's $1,000,000 asset based credit facility. This facility was collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company. The amount of available credit was based on the value of the Companys eligible receivables from time to time. Eligible receivables included those receivables that had payment terms equal to or less than 45 days or had been outstanding for less than 90 days. This credit facility bore interest at a rate of prime plus 1.75% as well as a 0.75% discount rate on all advances. The receivables were financed with recourse. On February 22, 2006, with the proceeds of the sale of our sports drink assets to Motts, we repaid this facility in full and terminated it (see Note A [1] The Company and Significant Accounting Policies). In addition, the Company has notes payable as follows: Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2006 and 2005 NOTE E - CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE On August 24, 2005, the Company entered into a
Securities Purchase Agreement (the Purchase Agreement) with Hormel. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Hormel loaned the Company the principal amount of
$500,000 in exchange for a Secured Convertible Promissory Note, which amount would accrue interest at a rate of 8% per annum (the Note). The outstanding
principal balance under the Note and any accrued but unpaid interest thereon was due and payable on August 24, 2007 to the extent that Hormel had not exercised certain
conversion rights under the Note. In the event we defaulted, interest on the outstanding principal balance would accrue at the rate of 10% per annum. The Note was
collateralized by a subordinated lien on and security interest on the Companys assets pursuant to the terms of a Security Agreement between the Company and Hormel
dated August 24, 2005.
As additional consideration for the loan, Hormel had the right at Hormels option to convert the outstanding principal amount and accrued and
unpaid interest of the Note into shares of the common stock of the Company (the Common Stock), at a price per share equal to the product of (x)
the weighted average closing price of the Common Stock for the five trading days preceding the notice of conversion of the Note and (y) 0.85. Hormel agreed that
it would not convert the Note if such conversion would cause Hormel, together with its affiliates, to beneficially own, on an as-converted basis, more than 9.9% of the
shares of Common Stock then outstanding. However, Hormel had the ability to waive this limitation by providing written notice of such waiver to the Company with the waiver
to be effective seventy-five days after receipt. On February 22, 2006, the
Company repaid the
principal and accrued interest of this Note in full. (See Note A [1] The Company and Significant Accounting Policies.) NOTE F - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY The total number of shares of all classes of stock which the Company has authority to issue is 51,000,000 shares, consisting of (a) fifty million (50,000,000) shares of common stock, par value $.0025 per share, and (b) one million (1,000,000) shares of preferred stock, par value $.01 per share. The preferred stock may be issued in one or more series, and may have such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such designations and preferences as shall be stated in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issue thereof adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company, from time to time. On January 28, 2005, the Company entered into a Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement and related agreements with Hormel HealthLabs, LLC (Hormel) pursuant to which the Company issued and sold 90,909 shares of Series A Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $1,000,000 or $11.00 per share. The Series A Preferred Stock issued to Hormel was convertible into an aggregate 909,091 shares of common stock, subject to adjustment. The Series A Preferred Stock was converted on June 23, 2006. NOTE G - COMMITMENTS [1] Employment agreement: The Company entered into an employment extension agreement on September 1, 2004, with the CEO of the Company that provides for minimum annual compensation of $275,000 which expired on December 31, 2006 and renewed as of January 1, 2007 for minimum compensation of $295,000. As of December 31, 2005, $50,000 of this annual compensation was accrued and the Company paid this amount in 2006. In the event of a change in control, as defined in the employment agreement, the CEO shall be paid, as additional compensation, a lump sum equal to his annual base salary in effect immediately prior to the change in control. If the CEO is terminated without cause, as defined in the employment agreement, the Company shall pay the CEO, at the time of termination, an amount equal to the base salary which would have been paid during a period beginning on the date of
termination of employment and ending on the later of the scheduled termination date, as defined in the employment agreement, or the first anniversary of the termination date. Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2006 and 2005 [2] Lease: The Company had a lease agreement for office space that was set to expire June 2007. The lease provided for the rental of 5,500 square feet. This lease was renewed in November 2006 for an additional 5 years, expiring June 2012. The future minimum lease payments due under the lease is as follows: Rent expense amounted to $136,125 and $129,965 in 2006 and 2005, respectively. NOTE H - STOCK OPTION PLANS AND WARRANTS The Company has two stock option plans (the Plans") under which 957,000 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance under the Plans. In 1995, the Company established an incentive stock option plan (the Plan") in which options to purchase the common stock of the Company may be awarded to employees. In 2000, the Company established another stock option plan to increase the number of options under the Plans. Stock options may be
granted as either incentive stock options intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code"),
or as options not qualified under Section 422 of the Code. All options are issued with an exercise price at or above 100% of the fair market value
of the common stock on the date of grant. Incentive stock option plan awards of restricted stock are intended to qualify as deductible performance-based
compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code. Incentive stock option awards of unrestricted stock are not designed to be deductible by the Company
under Section 162(m). The Board of Directors determines the option price (not to be less than fair market value for incentive options) at the date of
grant. The options have a maximum term of 5 years and outstanding options expire at various times through December 2011. Vesting ranges from immediate to over five years. Stock option transactions for employees during 2006 and 2005 were as follows: Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2006 and 2005 The market value of the Companys common stock as of December 31, 2006 was $1.15 per share. As of December 31, 2006, the total fair value of non-vested awards amounted to $515,151. The weighted average remaining period over which such options are expected to be recognized is 2.39 years. Information with respect to employee stock options outstanding and employee stock options exercisable at December 31, 2006 is as follows: In addition to options granted to employees under the Plans, the Company issued stock and stock options pursuant to contractual agreements to non-employees. Stock and stock options granted under these agreements are expensed when the related service or product is provided. The Company used the Black-Scholes method of valuing stock options to recognize an expense of $13,619 and $11,545 for such stock and stock options issued in 2006 and 2005, respectively. Stock option transactions for non-employees during 2006 and 2005 were as follows: Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2006 and 2005 Information with respect to non-employee stock options outstanding and non-employee stock options exercisable at December 31, 2006 is as follows: Stock warrant transactions during 2006 and 2005 were as follows: Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2006 and 2005 NOTE I - INCOME TAXES The difference between the statutory federal income tax rate on the Company's pre-tax income (loss) and the Company's effective income tax rate is summarized as follows: Included in the other component is the utilization of net operating losses in excess of the expected amount as recorded as of December 31, 2005. At December 31, 2006, the Company has approximately $12,398,000 in federal and $671,000 in state net operating loss carryovers that can be used to offset future taxable income. The net operating loss carryforwards begin to expire in the year 2015 through the year 2026. The components of the Company's deferred tax assets are as follows: During 2005, the Company sold $2,939,596 of its New Jersey net operating losses. The amount received from this sale was approximately $225,000. Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2006 and 2005 NOTE J - CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISKS, MAJOR CUSTOMERS, AND MAJOR VENDORS [1] Concentrations of credit risk: Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. The Company has concentrated its credit risk for cash by maintaining substantially all of its depository accounts in a single financial institution. Accounts at the institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000. Uninsured balances aggregated approximately $2,500,000 at December 31, 2006 that exceeded the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") limit. The financial institution has a strong credit rating, and management believes that credit risk relating to these deposits is minimal. The Company does not require collateral on its trade accounts receivable. Historically, the Company has not suffered significant losses with respect to trade accounts receivable. [2] Fair value of financial instruments: Cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and notes payable approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. [3] Major customers: For the years ended December 31, the Company had revenue from two customers that accounted for approximately 20% and 19% in 2006 and 30% and 20% in 2005, of net revenue. Accounts receivable outstanding related to these customers at December 31, 2006 and 2005 were $207,235 and $0, respectively. Deferred revenue from one of these customers was $244,197 as of December 31, 2006 and $369,069 as of December 31, 2005. Such amounts are included in the accompanying balance sheet. The loss of these customers, a significant reduction in purchase volume by these customers, or the financial difficulty of such customers, for any reason, could significantly reduce our revenues. We have no agreement with or commitment from either of these customers with respect to future purchases. [4] Major vendors: Two suppliers accounted for approximately 54% and 18%, respectively, of total inventory purchases for the year ended December 31, 2006 and three suppliers accounted for 52%, 26%, and 13%, respectively, of total inventory purchases for the year ended December 31, 2005. At December 31, 2006, amounts due to two vendors represented approximately 25% and 20%, respectively, of accounts payable and accrued expenses. At December 31, 2005, amounts due to one vendor represented approximately 42% of accounts payable and accrued expenses. NOTE K - SEGMENT AND RELATED INFORMATION At 2006 and 2005, the Company has one reportable segment: Dietary and nutritional supplements. The following table presents revenues by region: Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2006 and 2005 Product sales for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 are net of credits of $216,177 and $499,202, respectively, for marketing promotions, customer rebates, and returns of certain products. These credits primarily relate to the sports performance product line. NOTE L - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS In connection with the Hormel preferred stock agreement, the Company entered into an Exclusive Manufacturing Agreement with a subsidiary of Hormel. The initial term of the agreement was for one year commencing on January 28, 2005 and was extended until January 28, 2007 as part of the convertible note transaction. During the years 2006 and 2005, the Company purchased approximately $1,991,000 and $1,194,000, respectively, of finished goods from this Hormel subsidiary. At December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the Company owed this Hormel subsidiary approximately $195,000 and $645,000, respectively, that has been included on the balance sheet in accounts payable and accrued expenses. NOTE M - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS [1] Common Stock: Between January 1, 2007 and March 12, 2007, the Company issued an additional 253,165 shares of its common stock as a result of the exercise of options and warrants, resulting in proceeds of approximately $162,000. Between January 1, 2007 and March 12, 2007, the Company issued an additional 243,243 shares of its common stock as a result of private sale of stock to two new directors of the Company resulting in proceeds of $450,000.

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
ITEM 24. |
Indemnification of Directors and Officers |
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended, authorizes us to indemnify any director or officer under certain prescribed circumstances and subject to certain limitations against certain costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, to which such person is a party by reason of being a director or officer of us if it is determined that such person acted in accordance with the applicable standard of conduct. Article NINTH of our certificate of incorporation, as amended, provides for the indemnification of directors and officers to the full extent permitted by Delaware law.
Our certificate of incorporation, as amended, contains a provision permitted by Delaware law which eliminates the personal liability of our directors for monetary damages for breach or alleged breach of their fiduciary duty of care which arises under state law. Although this does not change the directors' duty of care, it limits legal remedies which are available for breach of that duty to equitable remedies, such as an injunction or rescission. This provision of our certificate of incorporation has no effect on directors' liability for: (1) breach of the directors' duty of loyalty; (2) acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct or known violations of law; and (3) approval of any transactions from which the directors derive an improper personal benefit.
Our amended and restated bylaws contains a provision that provides for the indemnification of any individual who was, is, or is threatened to be made a party, by reason of the fact that the individual is a director or officer of ours or serves in a similar role, to any pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative. Pursuant to this provision, the individual is indemnified against all expenses, liability and loss actually and reasonably incurred to the extent such individual is not otherwise indemnified and to the extent such indemnification is permitted by law.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be allowed to our directors, officers and controlling persons under the forgoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
ITEM 25. |
Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution* |
The following table sets forth all estimated costs and expenses expected to be incurred by us in connection with the issuance and distribution of the securities being registered. We are paying all expenses and fees customarily paid by an issuer in connection with the registration of these securities. The Selling Stockholders will bear all brokerage or underwriting discounts or commissions paid to broker-dealers in connection with the sale of these securities.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities |
We sold the following securities in the past three years in transactions not registered under the Securities Act:
On February 16, 2007, we sold an aggregate of 243,243 shares of our Common Stock, $.0025 par value (the Shares), to our new director Marc Particelli and to the Aquifer Opportunity Fund, L.P. that is managed by new director Adam Mizel for an aggregate purchase price of $450,000. The purchase price of $1.85 per share was based on the 10-day average closing price as of February 15, 2007. The Shares were issued pursuant to the terms and conditions of a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated February 22, 2007 entered into with Aquifer Opportunity Fund, L.P. and Mr. Particelli. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement the holders of the Shares are entitled to piggyback registration rights and demand registration rights in the event Mr. Mizel is no longer a director.
On August 24, 2005, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Hormel Health Labs, LLC. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, Hormel loaned us the principal amount of $500,000 in exchange for our secured convertible promissory note, which amount accrued interest at a rate of 8% per annum. The outstanding principal balance under the note and any accrued but unpaid interest thereon was due and payable on August 24, 2007 to the extent that Hormel had not exercised certain conversion rights under the note. On February 22, 2006, we repaid the principal and accrued interest on the note in full.
On January 28, 2005, we issued and sold 90,909 shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to Hormel Health Labs, LLC, for an aggregate purchase price of $1,000,000, or $11.00 per share. Subject to certain adjustments, each share of Series A Preferred Stock was convertible at the option of the holder into ten shares of our Common Stock. Hormel acquired the 909,091 shares of our Common Stock upon its conversion of the 90,909 shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock purchased pursuant to the Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement described in the prospectus under Certain Relationship and Related Transactions.

ITEM 28. |
Undertakings |
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that it will:
(1) |
File, during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement to: |
|
(i) |
Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; |
|
(ii) |
Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the Registration Statement; and |
|
(iii) |
Include any additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution. |
(2) |
For determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering. |
(3) |
File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering. |
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be allowed to the directors, officers and controlling persons of the undersigned statement under the forgoing provisions, or otherwise, the undersigned registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than payment by the undersigned registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the undersigned registrant will, unless in the opinion of counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
In accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form SB-2/A and authorized this Amendment No. 2 to this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, in the City of Matawan, State of New Jersey, on October 2, 2007.
