Our Business

We are a developer, manufacturer and marketer of a proprietary line of nutritional supplements addressing basic nutrition, specific wellness needs, weight management and sports nutrition. Our science-based supplements are packaged in powdered form and are not only simple to use but also, when mixed with water, juice or other liquid and consumed, provide an effective means of delivering nutrients to the body. We also offer a line of skin care products. We sell our products through an international network marketing system using independent distributors. As of December 31, 2005, our network consisted of approximately 65,480 distributors — 52,040 in the United States and 13,440 across our international markets. We have sold products in the United States since 1988 and in selected international markets since 1991.

For the year ended December 31, 2005, we generated net sales of $113.6 million, operating income of $12.5 million and net income of $7.5 million, an increase of 17.1% in net sales, 38.8% in operating income and 39.6% in net income, over the same period in 2004.

We currently offer 13 nutritional supplements and a line of seven skin care products. We have selectively evolved our product offering over our history. Our core line of nutritional supplements, which represented approximately 61.4% of net sales for the year ended December 31, 2005, includes the following four products:


	•	Reliv Classic and Reliv NOW — two basic nutritional supplements containing a full and balanced blend of vitamins, minerals, proteins and herbs

	•	Innergize! — an isotonic sports supplement in three flavors

	•	FibRestore — a high-fiber and antioxidant supplement

These are our most successful supplements based on net sales. We have nine other nutritional supplements that complement these four core products. We periodically refine our products and introduce related new products and product categories. Our internal research and development team has developed most of our products, and we hold U.S. patents on five of these — Innergize!, FibRestore, Arthaffect, ReversAge and Cellebrate. In addition, we have applied for U.S. patents on ProVantage and CardioSentials.

We believe that our network marketing model is the best method for the marketing and sale of our products because it utilizes ongoing personal contact among our distributors and their retail customers. This enables our distributors to communicate directly regarding the products, the business opportunity we offer and their personal experiences with both. We provide our distributors with a financially rewarding and entrepreneurial opportunity, affording them the ability to earn compensation both from the direct sale of products and from sales volume generated by distributors they sponsor. We actively support our distributors by providing marketing materials, a dependable product fulfillment system and frequent educational, training and motivational programs.

The majority of our sales traditionally has been, and is expected to continue to be, made through our distributors in the United States. We also currently generate sales through distributor networks in Australia, Canada, Germany, Ireland, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, the Philippines, Singapore and the United Kingdom. In each country in which we conduct business, our distributors operate under a uniform business and compensation model that maintains consistent marketing, sales, fulfillment and compliance procedures.

We manufacture all of our nutritional supplements at our facility in Chesterfield, Missouri. We believe our ability to formulate and manufacture our own products enables us to produce our products efficiently while maintaining our high standards of quality assurance and proprietary product composition.

Industry Overview

Nutritional Supplement Market

We operate primarily in the $20.3 billion U.S. nutritional supplement market, which is part of the broader $68.6 billion U.S. nutrition industry according to 2004 data published by the Nutrition Business Journal, or NBJ, and the $182.0 billion global nutrition industry, also according to the NBJ.

We believe that a combination of demographic, healthcare and lifestyle trends are expected to drive continued growth in the nutritional supplement market. These trends include: an aging population; rising healthcare costs and use of preventative measures; and an increasing focus on weight management and fitness.

Direct Selling Market

Direct selling involves the marketing of products and services directly to consumers in a person-to-person manner. According to the World Federation of Direct Selling Associations, or WFDSA, the 2004 global direct selling market (for all product categories) was estimated to be $99.4 billion. While the United States is currently the largest direct selling market with $29.9 billion in annual sales in 2004, international markets account for 70.0% of the entire industry, according to the WFDSA.

For the nutrition industry, the direct marketing channel, which includes direct sellers, accounted for approximately 34.0% of the total U.S. nutritional supplements sold in 2004, or approximately $6.9 billion, according to the NBJ. This channel experienced more growth than retail channels in the United States for nutritional supplement sales in 2004, according to the NBJ.

Competitive Strengths

We believe that we possess a number of competitive strengths that have enabled us to achieve sustained growth and profitability.

Powder-Based Nutritional Supplements. We believe that our powder-based nutritional supplements provide a competitive advantage over other supplements such as vitamins, minerals and herbs in pill or tablet form. Our nutritional products are consumed with water, milk or juice and provide an effective means of delivering nutrients to the body.

In-House Development and Production. We have developed substantially all of our products utilizing nutrition science as the basis for product formulation. We maintain an ongoing research and development effort led by Dr. Carl W. Hastings, Ph.D. and consult with other industry professionals and with the physicians on our Medical Advisory Board with respect to developments in nutritional science, product enhancements and new products. Additionally, we manufacture substantially all of our nutritional products at our facility in Chesterfield, Missouri, which enables us to maintain our high standards of quality assurance and proprietary product composition.

Growing Upper-Level Distributor Team. On December 31, 2005, we had approximately 65,480 active distributors in all of our markets, of which approximately 17,840 were Master Affiliates or above, generally our most productive distributors. The number of distributors at the Master Affiliate level or above has increased from approximately 12,020 at December 31, 2003 to approximately 15,110 at December 31, 2004 to approximately 17,840 at December 31, 2005.

Uniform Distributor Business Model. Our distributor compensation system is uniform throughout our domestic and international markets. The compensation plan is “seamless” in that distributors in each market all receive discounts and commissions on the same terms. We believe this uniform model is effective in motivating and training distributors to build their businesses and enter new markets.

Experienced and Incentivized Management Team. Our management team is led by our founder, Robert L. Montgomery, who has been our Chief Executive Officer since the inception of our company in 1985. Assuming successful completion of the offering, our directors and executive officers will continue to beneficially own approximately 33.7% of our common stock.

Business Strategy

Our basic objective is to increase our net sales by increasing the number and productivity of our distributors and by periodically improving our existing products and introducing new products. We also intend to invest in our infrastructure to improve our operating efficiencies, provide better service to our distributors and leverage our current operating facilities to improve our profitability. We seek to accomplish these objectives by employing the following strategic initiatives:

Leverage and Expand our Existing Distributor Base Throughout the United States. The United States has been and will continue to be our largest market. Our domestic net sales have increased from $65.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2003 to $102.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. We have achieved this growth through multiple initiatives, such as increased investment in company-sponsored events and training and better utilization of our upper-level distributors. We will continue these initiatives while focusing on untapped markets in the United States.

Expand in Existing and New International Markets. We believe there is a significant opportunity to increase our net sales in international markets. We have established a uniform business model and recently have begun to support our international markets with the assistance and experience of our proven upper-level distributors. In selected international markets, we also have begun investing in additional marketing support for our distributors. We believe this uniform business model and additional marketing expense will encourage our distributors to expand in our existing international markets and will provide a framework that facilitates our entry into new international markets.

Invest in Improved and New Products. As a developer of nutritional supplements, it is important to continue to invest in the research and development of new and innovative products. Additionally, we will

continue to improve and validate the efficacy of our existing product line. These types of investments will aid in customer and distributor retention, as well as the recruitment of new distributors.

Expand and Improve our Manufacturing and Distribution Capabilities. We currently manufacture all of our nutritional supplements at our facility in Chesterfield, Missouri. This allows us to precisely control product composition and quality assurance. We will continue to make appropriate investments that enhance our manufacturing capabilities and capacity to further leverage our existing facilities and trained production staff.

Corporate Information

We are incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware and commenced our present business in October 1988. Our principal executive offices and production facility are at 136 Chesterfield Industrial Boulevard, Chesterfield, Missouri 63005, and our telephone number is (636) 537-9715. We also maintain a website at www.reliv.com, but the information on the website is not part of this prospectus.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the following information about these risks, together with the other information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, including our consolidated financial statements and related notes, before you decide to buy our common stock. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could suffer. In that case, the market price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

Risks Related to Our Business

As a company that distributes products through a network marketing system, we experience constant turnover among our distributors. Our failure to establish and maintain distributor relationships for any reason could negatively impact sales of our products and harm our financial condition and operating results.

We distribute our products exclusively through approximately 65,480 independent distributors as of December 31, 2005, and we depend upon them directly for substantially all of our sales. Our network marketing organization is headed by a relatively small number of key distributors. To increase our revenue, we must increase the number, or the productivity, of our distributors. Accordingly, our success depends in significant part upon our ability to attract, retain and motivate a large base of distributors. The loss of a significant number of distributors, including any key distributors, together with their downline sales organizations, could materially and adversely affect sales of our products and could impair our ability to attract new distributors.

In 2005, approximately 62.9% of our distributors from 2004 renewed their Distributor Agreements with us. Distributors who purchase our products for personal consumption or for short-term income goals may stay with us for several months to one year. Distributors who have committed time and effort to build a sales organization, particularly our Master Affiliates and above, will generally stay for longer periods. Distributors have highly variable levels of training, skills and capabilities. The turnover rate of our distributors, and our operating results, can be adversely impacted if we and our upper-level distributor leadership do not provide the necessary mentoring, training and business support tools for new distributors to become successful salespeople in a short period of time.

Due to the high level of competition in our industry, we might fail to increase our distributor base, which could negatively impact sales of our products.

In our efforts to attract and retain distributors, we compete with other network marketing organizations, including those in the dietary and nutritional supplement, weight management product and personal care and cosmetic product industries. Our competitors include both network marketing companies such as Alticor Inc. (Amway Corp.), Avon Products Inc., Herbalife Ltd., Mary Kay Inc., Melaleuca, Inc., Nature’s Sunshine Products Inc., NuSkin Enterprises Inc. and USANA Health Sciences Inc., as well as specialty and mass retail establishments. Because the industry in which we operate is not particularly capital-intensive or otherwise subject to high barriers to entry, it is relatively easy for new competitors to emerge who will compete with us for our distributors and customers. In addition, the fact that our distributors may easily enter and exit our network marketing program contributes to the level of competition that we face. For example, a distributor can enter or exit our network marketing system with relative ease at any time without facing a significant investment or loss of capital because (1) we have a low upfront financial cost (generally $39.95) to become a distributor, (2) we do not require any specific amount of time to work as a distributor, (3) we do not insist on any special training to be a distributor and (4) we do not prohibit a new distributor from working with another company. Our ability to remain competitive, therefore, depends, in significant part, on our success in recruiting and retaining distributors through an attractive compensation

plan, the maintenance of an attractive product portfolio and other incentives. We cannot ensure that our programs for recruitment and retention of distributors will be successful, and if they are not, our financial condition and operating results would be harmed.

Since we cannot exert the same level of influence or control over our independent distributors as we could were they our own employees, our distributors could fail to comply with our distributor Policies and Procedures, which could result in claims against us that could harm our financial condition and operating results.

Our distributors are independent contractors and, accordingly, we are not in a position to directly provide the same direction, motivation and oversight as we would if our distributors were our own employees. As a result, there can be no assurance that our distributors will participate in our marketing strategies or plans, accept our introduction of new products or comply with our distributor Policies and Procedures.

Our Policies and Procedures for our independent distributors differ according to the various legal requirements of each country in which we do business. While our Policies and Procedures are designed to govern distributor conduct and to protect the goodwill associated with our trademarks, they can be difficult to enforce because of the large number of distributors and their independent status. Violations by our distributors of applicable law or of our Policies and Procedures in dealing with customers could reflect negatively on our products and operations, and harm our business reputation. In addition, it is possible that a court could hold us civilly or criminally accountable based on vicarious liability because of the actions of our independent distributors. If any of these events occur, the value of an investment in our common shares could be impaired.

If we fail to further penetrate and expand our business in existing markets, then the growth in sales of our products, along with our operating results, could be negatively impacted.

The success of our business is to a large extent contingent on our ability to continue to grow by further penetrating existing markets, both domestically and internationally. Our ability to further penetrate existing markets in which we compete is subject to numerous factors, many of which are out of our control. For example, government regulations in both our domestic and international markets can delay or prevent the introduction, or require the reformulation or withdrawal, of some of our products, which could negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations. Also, our ability to increase market penetration in certain countries may be limited by the finite number of persons in a given country inclined to pursue a network marketing business opportunity. Moreover, our growth will depend upon improved training and other activities that enhance distributor retention in our markets. As we continue to focus on expanding our existing international operations, these and other risks associated with international operations may increase, which could harm our financial condition and operating results.

Failure to expand into, or to succeed in, new international markets will limit our ability to grow sales of our products.

We believe that our ability to achieve future growth is dependent in part on our ability to continue our international expansion efforts. However, there can be no assurance that we would be able to enter new international markets on a timely basis, or that new markets would be profitable. We must overcome significant regulatory and legal barriers before we can begin marketing in any foreign market. Our operations in some markets also may be adversely affected by political, economic and social instability in foreign countries.

We may be required to reformulate certain of our products before commencing sales in a given country. Once we have entered a market, we must adhere to the regulatory and legal requirements of that market. No assurance can be given that we would be able to successfully reformulate our products in any of

our potential international markets to meet local regulatory requirements or attract local customers. The failure to do so could result in increased costs of producing products and adversely affect our financial condition. There can be no assurance that we would be able to obtain and retain necessary permits and approvals.

Also, it is difficult to assess the extent to which our products and sales techniques would be accepted or successful in any given country. In addition to significant regulatory barriers, we may also encounter problems conducting operations in new markets with different cultures and legal systems from those encountered elsewhere.

Additionally, in many markets, other network marketing companies already have significant market penetration, the effect of which could be to desensitize the local distributor population to a new opportunity, or to make it more difficult for us to recruit qualified distributors. There can be no assurance that, even if we are able to commence operations in new foreign countries, there would be a sufficiently large population of potential distributors inclined to participate in a network marketing system offered by us. We believe our future success could depend in part on our ability to seamlessly integrate our business methods, including our distributor compensation plan, across all markets in which our products are sold. There can be no assurance that we would be able to further develop and maintain a seamless compensation program.

We rely on a limited number of products for the majority of our sales and any reduction in the demand for or availability of these products would have an adverse effect on our sales.

Reliv Classic accounted for 23.9%, 23.7% and 22.0% of our net sales for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and, combined with Reliv NOW, Innergize! and FibRestore, these four products accounted for 61.4%, 61.1% and 58.1% of our net sales for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. If demand for any of these products decreases significantly, government regulation restricts the sale of these products, we are unable to adequately source or deliver these products or we cease offering any of these products for any reason without a suitable replacement, our business, financial condition and results of operations would be materially and adversely affected.

The failure to introduce or to gain distributor and market acceptance of new products could have a negative effect on our business.

The development and introduction of new products may be a factor in maintaining and developing our distributor network and customers. If we fail to introduce new products on a timely basis, our distributor productivity could be harmed. In addition, if any new products fail to gain market acceptance, are restricted by regulatory requirements, or have quality problems, this would harm our results of operations. For example, we recently changed the formulations of Reliv Classic and Reliv NOW and our net sales could decrease if our customers do not accept the new formulations. Factors that could affect our ability to continue to introduce new products include, among others, limited capital resources, government regulations, the inability to attract and retain qualified research and development staff, proprietary protections of competitors that may limit our ability to offer comparable products and any failure to anticipate changes in consumer tastes and buying preferences. Additionally, our operating results could be harmed if our existing and new products do not generate sufficient interest to retain existing distributors and attract new distributors.

The business of marketing nutritional products is sensitive to the introduction of new products or nutritional technologies, including various prescription drugs, which may rapidly capture a significant share of the market. Our present or future competitors may be able to develop products that are comparable or superior to those we offer, adapt more quickly than we do to new technologies, evolving industry trends and

standards or customer requirements or devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products than we do.

Since we conduct all of our manufacturing operations at one facility, any interruption in our ability to operate could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operating results.

We conduct our manufacturing operations at our Chesterfield, Missouri facility and store a substantial amount of raw materials and finished goods on site. An event such as a fire, flood or natural disaster could prevent us from operating for a period of time and could adversely affect our financial condition and operating results.

We may incur material product liability claims, which could increase our costs and harm our financial condition and operating results.

Our products consist of herbs, vitamins, minerals and other ingredients that are classified as foods or dietary supplements and are not subject to pre-market regulatory approval in the United States. Our products could contain contaminated substances, and some of our products contain innovative ingredients that do not have long histories of human consumption. As a marketer of dietary and nutritional supplements and other products that are ingested by consumers or applied to their bodies, we have been, and may again be, subjected to various product liability claims, including that the products contain contaminants, the products include inadequate instructions as to their uses, or the products include inadequate warnings concerning side effects and interactions with other substances. It is possible that product liability claims could increase our costs, and adversely affect our revenues and operating income. Moreover, liability claims arising from a serious adverse event may increase our costs through higher insurance premiums and deductibles, and may make it more difficult to secure adequate insurance coverage in the future. In addition, our product liability insurance may fail to cover future product liability claims, thereby requiring us to pay substantial monetary damages and adversely affecting our business.

We rely on independent third parties for the ingredients used in our products. If these third parties fail to reliably supply ingredients to us at required levels, then our financial condition and operating results could be harmed.

In the event any of our third party suppliers were to become unable or unwilling to continue to provide us with ingredients in required volumes and at suitable quality levels, we would be required to identify and obtain acceptable replacement sources. There is no assurance that we would be able to obtain alternative supply sources on a timely basis. An extended interruption in the supply of ingredients would result in the loss of sales. In addition, any actual or perceived degradation of product quality as a result of reliance on third party suppliers may have an adverse effect on our sales or result in increased product returns and buybacks. We obtain the key component of Arthaffect through a non-exclusive licensing agreement. In the event that we were unable to obtain that ingredient from our supplier, we could have difficulty obtaining an acceptable alternative.

We depend on the integrity and reliability of our information technology infrastructure, and any related inadequacies may result in substantial interruptions to our business.

Our ability to timely provide products to our distributors and their customers, and services to our distributors, depends on the integrity of our information technology system. The most important aspect of our information technology infrastructure is the system through which we record and track distributor sales, volume points, royalty overrides, bonuses and other incentives. Our primary data sets are archived and stored at a third party secure site. We have encountered, and may encounter in the future, errors in our software or our enterprise network, or inadequacies in the software and services supplied by our vendors. Any such errors or inadequacies that we may encounter in the future may result in substantial interruptions to our services and may damage our relationships with, or cause us to lose, our distributors if the errors or inadequacies impair our ability to track sales and pay royalty overrides, bonuses and other incentives, which

would harm our financial condition and operating results. Such errors may be expensive or difficult to correct in a timely manner, and we may have little or no control over whether any inadequacies in software or services supplied to us by third parties are corrected, if at all. Despite any precautions, the occurrence of a natural disaster or other unanticipated problems could result in interruptions in services and reduce our revenue and profits.

If we fail to protect our trademarks, then our ability to compete could be negatively affected, which would harm our financial condition and operating results.

The market for our products depends to a significant extent upon the goodwill associated with our trademarks. We own, or have licenses to use, the material trademark rights used in connection with the packaging, marketing and distribution of our products in the markets where those products are sold. Therefore, trademark protection is important to our business. Although most of our trademarks are registered in the United States and in certain foreign countries in which we operate, we may not be successful in asserting trademark protection. In addition, the laws of certain foreign countries may not protect our intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. The loss or infringement of our trademarks could impair the goodwill associated with our brands and harm our reputation, which would harm our financial condition and operating results.

If our intellectual property is not adequate to provide us with a competitive advantage or to prevent competitors from replicating our products, or if we infringe the intellectual property rights of others, then our financial condition and operating results would be harmed.

Our future success and ability to compete depend, in part, upon our ability to timely produce innovative products and product enhancements that motivate our distributors and customers, which we attempt to protect under a combination of patents, copyrights, trademark and trade secret laws, confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions. However, not all of our products are patented domestically or abroad, and the legal protections afforded by our common law and contractual proprietary rights in our products provide only limited protection and may be time-consuming and expensive to enforce and/or maintain. Further, despite our efforts, we may be unable to prevent third parties from infringing upon or misappropriating our proprietary rights or from independently developing non-infringing products that are competitive with, equivalent to and/or superior to our products. Additionally, third parties may claim that products we have independently developed infringe upon their intellectual property rights.

Monitoring infringement and/or misappropriation of intellectual property can be difficult and expensive, and we may not be able to detect any infringement or misappropriation of our proprietary rights. Even if we detect infringement or misappropriation of our proprietary rights, litigation to enforce these rights could cause us to divert financial and other resources away from our business operations. Further, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect our proprietary rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States.

If we lose the services of members of our senior management team or fail to attract and retain qualified scientific or production personnel, then our financial condition and operating results would be harmed.

We depend on the continued services of our Chief Executive Officer and founder, Robert L. Montgomery, and our current senior management team and the relationships that they have developed with our upper-level distributor leadership. Although we have entered into employment agreements with many members of our senior management team, and do not believe that any of them are planning to leave or retire in the near term, we cannot assure you that our senior managers will remain with us. The loss or departure of any member of our senior management team, in particular Mr. Montgomery, could negatively impact our distributor relations and operating results. Mr. Montgomery’s employment agreement currently allows him at any time either to (i) reduce his level of service to us by approximately one-half with a corresponding decrease in position and compensation or (ii) terminate his employment agreement and

continue in a consulting capacity for 10 years at 20% of his annual compensation as a consulting fee. The loss of such key personnel could negatively impact our ability to implement our business strategy, and our continued success will also be dependent upon our ability to retain existing, and attract additional, qualified personnel to meet our needs.

Recruiting and retaining qualified scientific and production personnel to perform research and development work and product manufacturing are also critical to our success. Because the industry in which we compete is very competitive, we face significant challenges in attracting and retaining this qualified personnel base. We generally do not enter into employment agreements requiring these employees to continue in our employment for any period of time.

We may be held responsible for certain taxes relating to our distributors, which could harm our financial condition and operating results.

Under current law, our distributors in the United States and the other countries in which we operate are treated for income tax purposes as independent contractors and compensation paid to them is not subject to withholding by us. The definition of independent contractor has been challenged in the past and any changes could possibly jeopardize the exempt status enjoyed by direct sellers and negatively impact our recruiting efforts. The network marketing industry has strongly opposed such bills as they relate to direct sellers. States have become increasingly active in this area as well. To date, the status of direct sellers as independent contractors has not been affected. However, there is no assurance that future legislation at the federal or state level, or in countries other than the United States, affecting direct sellers will not be enacted.

Risks Related to Our Industry

The nutritional products industry is highly competitive.

The business of marketing nutritional products is highly competitive. The nutritional products industry includes numerous manufacturers, distributors, marketers, retailers and physicians that actively compete for the business of consumers both in the United States and abroad. Additionally, companies in other industries, such as the pharmaceutical industry, could compete in the nutritional products industry. Some of these competitors have longer operating histories, significantly greater financial, technical, product development, marketing and sales resources, greater name recognition, larger established customer bases and better-developed distribution channels than we do.

Adverse publicity associated with our products, ingredients or network marketing program, or those of similar companies, could harm our financial condition and operating results.

The size of our distribution network and the results of our operations may be significantly affected by the public’s perception of us and similar companies. This perception is dependent upon opinions concerning:


	•	the safety and quality of our products and ingredients;

	•	the safety and quality of similar products and ingredients distributed by other companies;

	•	regulatory investigations of us, our competitors and our respective products;

	•	the actions of our current or former distributors;

	•	our network marketing program; and

	•	the network marketing business generally.

Adverse publicity concerning any actual or purported failure by us or our distributors to comply with applicable laws and regulations regarding product claims and advertising, good manufacturing practices, the

regulation of our network marketing program, the licensing of our products for sale in our target markets or other aspects of our business, whether or not resulting in enforcement actions or the imposition of penalties, could have an adverse effect on the reputation of our company and could negatively affect our ability to attract, motivate and retain distributors, which would negatively impact our ability to generate revenue. We cannot ensure that all distributors will comply with applicable legal requirements relating to the advertising, labeling, licensing or distribution of our products.

In addition, our distributors’ and consumers’ perception of the safety and quality of our products and ingredients, as well as similar products and ingredients distributed by other companies, can be significantly influenced by national media attention, publicized scientific research or findings, widespread product liability claims and other publicity concerning our products or ingredients or similar products and ingredients distributed by other companies. Adverse publicity, whether or not accurate or resulting from consumers’ use or misuse of our products, that associates consumption of our products or ingredients or any similar products or ingredients with illness or other adverse effects, or that questions the benefits of our or similar products or claims that any such products are ineffective, inappropriately labeled or have inaccurate instructions as to their use, could negatively impact our reputation or the market demand for our products.

We are affected by extensive laws, governmental regulations, administrative determinations, court decisions and similar constraints, both domestically and abroad, and our or our distributors’ failure to comply with these restraints could lead to the imposition of significant penalties or claims, which could harm our financial condition and operating results.

In both domestic and foreign markets, the formulation, manufacturing, packaging, labeling, distribution, importation, exportation, licensing, sale and storage of our products are affected by extensive laws, governmental regulations, administrative determinations, court decisions and similar constraints. There can be no assurance that we or our distributors are in compliance with all of these regulations. Our or our distributors’ failure to comply with these regulations or new regulations could lead to the imposition of significant penalties or claims and could negatively impact our business. In addition, the adoption of new regulations or changes in the interpretations of existing regulations may result in significant compliance costs or discontinuation of product sales and may negatively impact the marketing of our products, resulting in significant loss of sales.

On March 7, 2003, the FDA proposed a new regulation to require current good manufacturing practices, or cGMPs, affecting the manufacture, packing and holding of dietary supplements. The proposed regulation would establish standards to ensure that dietary supplements and dietary ingredients are not adulterated with contaminants or impurities and are labeled to accurately reflect the active ingredients and other ingredients in the products. It also includes proposed requirements for designing and constructing physical plants, establishing quality control procedures, and testing manufactured dietary ingredients and dietary supplements, as well as proposed requirements for maintaining records and for handling consumer complaints related to current good manufacturing practices. The final rule resulting from this rulemaking process is currently undergoing review by the Office of Management and Budget. Publication of the final rule is expected in the next several weeks. Because of the long delay in issuing the final rule, there is considerable uncertainty as to the provisions of the final rule, and as to how large an impact the rule will have on the dietary supplement industry.

Our network marketing program could be found not to be in compliance with current or newly adopted laws or regulations in one or more markets, which could prevent us from conducting our business in these markets and harm our financial condition and operating results.

Our network marketing program is subject to a number of federal and state regulations administered by the Federal Trade Commission and various state agencies in the United States as well as regulations on network marketing in foreign markets administered by foreign agencies. We are subject to the risk that, in

one or more markets, our network marketing program could be found not to be in compliance with applicable law or regulations. Regulations applicable to network marketing organizations generally are directed at preventing fraudulent or deceptive schemes, often referred to as “pyramid” or “chain sales” schemes, by ensuring that product sales ultimately are made to consumers and that advancement within an organization is based on sales of the organization’s products rather than investments in the organization or other non-retail sales-related criteria. The regulatory requirements concerning network marketing programs do not include “bright line” rules and are inherently fact-based. Thus, even in jurisdictions where we believe that our network marketing program is in full compliance with applicable laws or regulations governing network marketing systems, we are subject to the risk that these laws or regulations or the enforcement or interpretation of these laws and regulations by governmental agencies or courts could change. The failure of our network marketing program to comply with current or newly adopted regulations could negatively impact our business in a particular market or in general. An adverse determination could (1) require us to make modifications to our network marketing system, (2) result in negative publicity or (3) have a negative impact on distributor morale. In addition, adverse rulings by courts in any proceedings challenging the legality of multi-level marketing systems, even in those not involving us directly, could have a material adverse effect on our operations.

We also are subject to the risk of private party challenges to the legality of our network marketing program. The multi-level marketing programs of other companies have been successfully challenged in the past. An adverse judicial determination with respect to our network marketing program, or in proceedings not involving us directly but which challenge the legality of multi-level marketing systems in any market in which we operate, could negatively impact our business.

Changes in consumer preferences and discretionary spending could negatively impact our operating results.

Our business is subject to changing consumer trends and preferences. Our continued success depends in part on our ability to anticipate and respond to these changes, and we may not respond in a timely or commercially appropriate manner to such changes. Furthermore, the nutritional supplement industry is characterized by rapid and frequent changes in demand for products and new product introductions and enhancements. Our failure to accurately predict these trends could negatively impact consumer opinion of our products, which in turn could harm our customer and distributor relationships and cause the loss of sales. The success of our new product offerings and enhancements depends upon a number of factors, including our ability to:


	•	accurately anticipate customer needs;

	•	innovate and develop new products or product enhancements that meet these needs;

	•	successfully commercialize new products or product enhancements in a timely manner;

	•	price our products competitively;

	•	manufacture and deliver our products in sufficient volumes and in a timely manner; and

	•	differentiate our product offerings from those of our competitors.

If we do not introduce new products or make enhancements to meet the changing needs of our customers in a timely manner, some of our products could be rendered obsolete, which could negatively impact our revenues, financial condition and operating results.

Additionally, the success of our business and our operating results is dependent on discretionary spending by consumers. A decline in discretionary spending could adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows. Our business could also be adversely affected by general

economic conditions, demographic trends, consumer confidence in the economy and changes in disposable consumer income.

Risks Related to this Offering and Ownership of Our Common Stock

The trading price of our common shares is likely to be volatile, and you might not be able to sell your shares at or above the offering price.

The trading price of our common shares has been and is likely to be subject to fluctuations. Factors affecting the trading price of our common shares may include:


	•	fluctuations in our quarterly operating and earnings per share results;

	•	material developments with respect to future acquisitions;

	•	loss of key personnel and key distributors;

	•	announcements of technological innovations or new products by us or our competitors;

	•	delays in the development and introduction of new products;

	•	our failure to timely address changing customer or distributor preferences;

	•	legislative or regulatory changes;

	•	general trends in the industry;

	•	recommendations and/or changes in estimates by equity and market research analysts;

	•	biological or medical discoveries;

	•	disputes and/or developments concerning intellectual property, including patents and litigation matters;

	•	sales of common stock by our existing holders, in particular sales by management;

	•	securities class action or other litigation;

	•	developments in our relationships with current or future distributors, customers or suppliers; and

	•	general economic conditions, both in the United States and abroad.

In addition, if the market for health and nutrition or network marketing stocks or the stock market in general experiences a loss of investor confidence, the trading price of our common shares could decline for reasons unrelated to our business or financial results. The trading price of our common shares might also decline in reaction to events that affect other companies in our industry even if these events do not directly affect us.

Our Chief Executive Officer, together with his family members and affiliates, controls a substantial portion of our combined stockholder voting power, and his interests may be different from yours.

Our Chief Executive Officer, Robert L. Montgomery, together with his family (including his sons R. Scott Montgomery and Ryan A. Montgomery) and affiliates, has the ability to influence the election and removal of the members of our board of directors and, as a result, to influence the future direction and operations of our company. After this offering, Robert L. Montgomery, his family and affiliates will beneficially own approximately 22.3% of our common stock. Accordingly, they may significantly influence decisions concerning business opportunities, declaring dividends, issuing additional shares of common stock or other securities and the approval of any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets. They may make decisions that are adverse to your interests.

Limited daily trading volume of our common stock may contribute to its price volatility.

Our common stock trades on the Nasdaq National Market. During 2005, the average daily trading volume for our common stock as reported by the Nasdaq National Market was approximately 35,000 shares.

Even if we achieve a wider dissemination as to the shares offered by us and the selling stockholders pursuant to this prospectus, we are uncertain as to whether a more active trading market in our common stock will develop. As a result, relatively small trades may have a significant impact on the price of our common stock.

Our management has broad discretion over the use of proceeds from this offering.

The net proceeds to us from this offering are expected to be approximately $12.0 million after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses payable by us. Management will retain broad discretion as to the use and allocation of a substantial portion of these net proceeds. Our investors will not have the opportunity to evaluate the economic, financial and other relevant information that we may consider in the application of the net proceeds.

Future sales of shares by existing stockholders, including management stockholders, could cause our stock price to decline.

If our existing stockholders sell, or indicate an intention to sell, substantial amounts of our common shares in the public market after the 90-day contractual lock-up of our directors and executive officers, which is subject to adjustment, the trading price of our common shares could decline below the offering price. Canaccord Adams Inc., on behalf of the underwriters, may, in its sole discretion, permit those who have entered into lock-up agreements with the underwriters to sell shares prior to the expiration of the lock-up agreements. The sale of substantial amounts of Mr. Robert L. Montgomery’s or management’s stock in the public market, or the perception that these sales may occur, could reduce the market price of our stock.

We may issue preferred stock in the future, with rights senior to our common stock.

We have authorized in our certificate of incorporation the issuance of up to three million shares of preferred stock. We may issue shares of preferred stock in one or more new series. Our board of directors may determine the terms of the preferred stock without further action by our stockholders. These terms may include voting rights, preferences as to dividends and liquidation, conversion and redemption rights, and sinking fund provisions. Although we have no present plans to issue shares of preferred stock or to create new series of preferred stock, if we do issue preferred stock, it could affect the rights, or even reduce the value, of our common stock.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus includes both historical and “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future results. Words such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” or similar words are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words. Although we believe that our opinions and expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements, and our actual results may differ substantially from the views and expectations set forth in this prospectus. We disclaim any intent or obligation to update any forward-looking statements after the date of this prospectus to conform such statements to actual results or to changes in our opinions or expectations. These forward-looking statements are affected by risks, uncertainties and assumptions that we make, including, among other things, the factors that are described in “Risk Factors.”

USE OF PROCEEDS

We expect to receive net proceeds of approximately $12.0 million from the sale of 1,200,000 shares of our common stock in this offering, based on an offering price to the public of $11.25 per share, and after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses payable by us. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the common stock being offered by the selling stockholders.

We expect to use a portion of the net proceeds from this offering to repay a promissory note issued to a former director and executive officer and his wife in connection with the repurchase of shares of our common stock. The outstanding principal amount was $3.1 million at December 31, 2005. The note requires principal payments through January 15, 2008 and accrues interest at a rate of 4.0% per year. We expect to use the remainder of the net proceeds to us, together with our available cash, for general corporate purposes including working capital, our continued domestic and international growth and for possible product acquisitions.

DIVIDEND POLICY

In 2004, our board of directors adopted a dividend program to make regular distributions to our stockholders. Since that time, we have declared and paid the following dividends:


	Dividends Paid
Dividend Record Date	Per Common Share

May 17, 2004	$	0.030
November 15, 2004		0.035
May 18, 2005		0.035
November 14, 2005		0.040

The declaration and payment of dividends in the future will be determined by our board of directors in light of conditions then existing, including our earnings, financial condition, capital requirements and other factors.

CAPITALIZATION

The following table summarizes our cash and cash equivalents and our total capitalization as of December 31, 2005 on an actual basis and as adjusted to give effect to the sale of 1,200,000 shares of our common stock by us in this offering at a public offering price of $11.25 per share, after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses payable by us. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock in this offering by the selling stockholders.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with “Selected Historical Financial Information” and our financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus. The following discussion and analysis discusses the financial condition and results of our operations on a consolidated basis, unless otherwise indicated.

Overview

We are a developer, manufacturer and marketer of a proprietary line of nutritional supplements addressing basic nutrition, specific wellness needs, weight management and sports nutrition. We also offer a line of skin care products. We sell our products through an international network marketing system using independent distributors. Sales in the United States represented approximately 90.3% of worldwide net sales for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to approximately 86.5% for the year ended December 31, 2004. Our international operations currently generate sales through distributor networks in Australia, Canada, Germany, Ireland, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, the Philippines, Singapore and the United Kingdom.

We derive our revenues principally through product sales made by our global independent distributor base, which, as of December 31, 2005, consisted of approximately 65,480 distributors. Our sales can be affected by several factors, including our ability to attract new distributors and retain our existing distributor base, our ability to properly train and motivate our distributor base and our ability to develop new products and successfully maintain our current product line.

All of our sales to distributors outside the United States are made in the respective local currency; therefore, our earnings and cash flows are subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency rates as compared to the U.S. dollar. As a result, exchange rate fluctuations may have an effect on sales and gross margins. Accounting practices require that our results from operations be converted to U.S. dollars for reporting purposes. Consequently, our reported earnings may be significantly affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates, generally increasing with a weaker U.S. dollar and decreasing with a strengthening U.S. dollar. Products manufactured by us for sale to our foreign subsidiaries are transacted in U.S. dollars. From time to time, we enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to mitigate our foreign currency exchange risk.

Components of Net Sales and Expense

Sales at suggested retail primarily represents the gross sales amounts on our invoices to our distributors before distributor allowances, and also includes freight and handling income and sales of marketing materials. Distributor allowances on product purchases represents the discount given to a distributor in purchasing nutritional supplements or skin care products from us. The amount of the discount can range between 20% to 40% of suggested retail price, depending on the rank of a particular distributor. Net sales reflect the items included in sales at suggested retail, less the distributor allowances. We record net sales and the related commission expense when the merchandise is shipped.

Our primary expenses include cost of products sold, distributor royalties and commissions and selling, general and administrative expenses.

Cost of products sold primarily consists of expenses related to raw materials, labor, quality control and overhead directly associated with production of our products and sales materials, as well as shipping costs relating to the shipment of products to distributors, and duties and taxes associated with product exports.

Cost of products sold is impacted by the cost of the ingredients used in our products, the cost of shipping the distributors’ orders, along with our efficiency in managing the production of our products.

Distributor royalties and commissions are monthly payments made to Master Affiliates and above, based on products sold by Master Affiliates and above sponsored by such Master Affiliates or higher-level distributors. Based on our distributor agreements, these expenses typically approximate 23% of sales at suggested retail. Also, we include other sales leadership bonuses, such as Ambassador bonuses, in this line item. We generally expect total distributor royalties and commissions to approximate 40% of our net sales. Distributor royalties and commissions are directly related to the level of our sales and, absent any changes in our distributor compensation plan, should continue at comparable levels as a percentage of net sales as in recent periods.

Selling, general and administrative expenses include the compensation and benefits paid to our employees, all other selling expenses, marketing, promotional expenses, travel and other corporate administrative expenses. These other corporate administrative expenses include professional fees, depreciation and amortization, occupancy costs, communication costs and other similar operating expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses can be affected by a number of factors, including staffing levels and the cost of providing competitive salaries and benefits; the amount we decide to invest in distributor training and motivational initiatives; the cost of regulatory compliance, such as the costs incurred to comply with the various provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002; and other administrative costs.

Year Ended December 31, 2005 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2004

Net Sales. Sales in the United States grew by 22.3% in the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to 2004. During 2005, our international sales declined by 16.0% over the prior year, primarily the result of price increases and changes made to the distributor qualification requirements made in our Mexican and Philippine markets. Also contributing to the net sales increase during 2005 were sales from the introduction

of our newest product, CardioSentials. Introduced in February 2005, net sales of this product were $3.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2005.

The following table summarizes net sales by geographic market ranked by the date we began operations in each market for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.

The following table sets forth, as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, the number of our active distributors and Master Affiliates and above. The total number of active distributors includes Master Affiliates and above. We define an active distributor as one that enrolls as a distributor or renews its distributorship during the prior twelve months. Master Affiliates and above are distributors that have attained the highest level of discount and are eligible for royalties generated by Master Affiliates and above in their downline organization. Growth in the number of active distributors and Master Affiliates and above is a key factor in continuing the growth of our business.

In the United States, new distributor enrollments, high retention and continued growth in the number of Master Affiliates and above continue to be key factors in our sales growth. In 2005, over 23,030 new distributors were enrolled in the United States, as compared to approximately 22,980 in 2004. Distributor retention in the United States was approximately 62.9% for 2005 compared to a rate of 57.7% for 2004. The number of distributors reaching Master Affiliate and above has also continued to improve in the United States. In 2005, approximately 8,120 distributors qualified as new Master Affiliates and 61.6% of the Master Affiliates and above as of December 31, 2004 requalified as Master Affiliates and above during

2005. This compares to approximately 6,860 new Master Affiliates and a requalification rate of 61.2% in 2004. We attribute the increase in net distributor enrollment and retention in part to the momentum created by the consistency and reinforcement of our training programs and business opportunity presentations, in the form of regional distributor conferences and other corporate-sponsored meetings. This has resulted in more distributors reaching the Master Affiliate level and above, who generally are more experienced and productive distributors.

During the year ended December 31, 2005, net sales in our international operations declined in aggregate by 16.0% to $11.0 million compared to $13.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. The decrease in international sales occurred primarily in Mexico, Malaysia/ Singapore and the Philippines because of a change in our distributor qualification requirements, which resulted in a decrease in our number of distributors in those markets. When net sales are converted using the 2004 exchange rate for both 2004 and 2005, international net sales declined 18.1% for 2005 compared to the prior year, as the U.S. dollar weakened against every currency in which we conduct operations during 2005.

Net sales in the Australia/ New Zealand market decreased by 12.9% in 2005 compared to 2004. New distributor enrollments were 725 in 2005 compared to 1,419 in 2004. When net sales are converted using the 2004 exchange rate for both 2004 and 2005, net sales in this market decreased by 15.6%. As a result of the decline in sales during the first half of 2005, the contract of the sales manager for that market was terminated during the second quarter of 2005, and we named a new sales manager in September 2005. The combined net loss for the Australia/ New Zealand market was $115,000 in 2005, compared to a net loss of $132,000 in 2004.

Net sales in Canada decreased by 4.7% in 2005 compared to 2004. The decline in net sales is due in part to the decline in new distributor enrollments. New distributor enrollments were 489 in 2005 compared to 853 in 2004. When measured in local currency, Canadian net sales decreased by 11.1% in 2005 compared to 2004. Net income in Canada was $77,000 for 2005, compared to $249,000 in 2004.

Net sales in Mexico decreased 39.0% in 2005 compared to 2004. New distributor enrollments were 1,048 in 2005 compared to 7,904 in 2004. When measured in local currency, 2005 net sales declined by 41.3%. Net sales declined subsequent to a price increase and change in distributor qualification requirements, effective March 1, 2005, to make the Mexican business model consistent with the rest of our markets. The net loss in Mexico for 2005 was $446,000, compared to a net loss of $113,000 in 2004.

Net sales in the United Kingdom increased by 55.2% for 2005 compared to 2004, as the efforts of our new general manager and national sales manager in the UK began to show positive results. When measured in local currency, net sales in the UK increased by 56.3% in 2005, compared to the prior year. New distributor enrollments were 447 in 2005 compared to 193 in 2004. However, the added staffing and sales development expenses more than offset the gain in sales. The net loss incurred in the UK was $421,000 in 2005, compared to a net loss of $183,000 in 2004.

As in Mexico, we changed our distributor qualification requirements and increased prices in the Philippines effective February 2005. Net sales in the Philippines declined by 18.7% in 2005 compared to the prior year. New distributor enrollments were 2,993 in 2005 compared to 5,360 in 2004. When measured in local currency, 2005 net sales declined by 20.2%. The net loss in the Philippines for 2005 was $104,000, compared to a net loss of $164,000 in 2004.

Net sales in the Malaysia/ Singapore market decreased by approximately 26.7% in 2005 compared to the prior year. New distributor enrollments were 2,546 in 2005 compared to 4,906 in 2004. In comparison to 2004, currency fluctuation in 2005 had a negligible effect on sales in this market. Net sales decreased in Malaysia/ Singapore because our new distributor enrollments declined by nearly 48.1% during 2005 compared to 2004, and our active distributor count decreased by 38.4%. The decrease in new distributors in

this market resulted from a change in our distributor qualification requirements. The combined net loss for Malaysia/ Singapore for 2005 was $392,000, compared to a net loss of $170,000 in 2004.

We began operations in Germany in July 2005. We had net sales of approximately $320,000 during our first six months.

Our Direct Select program is available for distributors and their retail customers to order products in less than case lots directly from us. In the United States during 2005, we processed a total of approximately 76,000 orders under this program at a suggested retail sales value of $8.4 million compared to 58,800 orders at a suggested retail value of $6.2 million during 2004. The average order size at suggested retail value increased in 2005 to $111 compared to $106 during 2004.

Cost of Products Sold. Cost of products sold as a percentage of net sales decreased slightly to 17.0% for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to 17.2% for the year ended December 31, 2004. Raw material costs remained fairly stable throughout the year, and operating efficiencies gradually improved during 2005 subsequent to the installation of new production equipment during the third and fourth quarters of 2004.

Distributor Royalties and Commissions. Distributor royalties and commissions as a percentage of net sales increased slightly to 40.0% for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to 39.8% for the same period in 2004. The increase is due to changes made during the first quarter of 2005 to the distributor compensation plan in the Philippines and Mexico, resulting in commission payments being made on the full suggested retail value of the products sold. With these changes, commission payments are now uniform throughout our domestic and international markets.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. For 2005, selling, general and administrative, or SGA, expenses increased by $3.6 million compared to 2004. However, SGA expenses as a percentage of net sales declined from 33.7% in 2004 to 32.0% in 2005.

Sales and marketing expenses represented approximately $1.9 million of the 2005 increase, including increased credit card fees due to the higher sales volume, and increased promotional bonuses and promotional trip expenses related to sales volume. General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $1.6 million, primarily in salaries and bonuses, fringe benefit expenses, travel expenses, professional service fees, and director’s fees. These increases were offset by declines in certain areas. Legal fees decreased by $163,000, and accounting fees and related expenses decreased by $669,000 in 2005 compared to the prior year. The decrease in accounting fees and related expenses is due in part to our establishment of an internal audit department to supplement management’s efforts related to documenting and assessing our internal controls. In the prior year, we incurred additional third party expenses with the adoption of the internal control documentation requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

During 2005, we incurred SGA expenses of approximately $645,000 in our most recent market entry, Germany. We began sales in Germany on July 18, 2005.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased to $313,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to $243,000 for 2004. The increase is the result of higher interest rates on the term loan on our headquarters facility, coupled with additional interest expense incurred on a note we entered into in March 2005 to purchase the shares of our common stock owned by a former officer and director and his wife. The interest rate on the term loan on our headquarters facility was a variable rate loan with interest equal to the prime rate. This loan was paid in full in June 2005. The note to purchase the stock owned by the former officer and director was for $3.5 million with an interest rate of 4.0% per year, of which $3.1 million was outstanding as of December 31, 2005. We also issued a note for $593,000 to the wife of the former officer and director, which was repaid immediately after its issuance.

Income Taxes. We recorded income tax expense of $5.0 million for 2005, an effective rate of 39.8%. In 2004, we recorded income tax expense of $3.6 million, an effective rate of 40.2%. The lower effective rate in 2005 is the result of the new Domestic Manufacturing Deduction, enacted by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, beginning with the 2005 tax year.

Net Income. Our net income improved to $7.5 million ($0.47 per share basic and $0.46 per share diluted) for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to $5.4 million ($0.34 per share basic and $0.31 per share diluted) for 2004. Profitability continued to increase as net sales improved in the United States, as discussed above. Net income in the United States was $9.2 million in 2005 compared to $5.9 million in 2004. The net loss from international operations was $1.7 million in 2005 compared to a net loss of $513,000 in 2004.

Year Ended December 31, 2004 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2003

Net Sales. Sales in the United States, our largest market, grew by 27.4% in 2004 compared to 2003. Our international operations experienced a sales increase of 17.8% in 2004 compared to 2003, due primarily to the first full year of operation in Malaysia. We continued to implement our uniform distributor compensation plan and business model across our foreign operations. These changes reduced operating margin in the foreign markets, and, along with other sales development expenses, reduced net income in the international markets overall, but are essential to the consistent execution of our business model and sustainability of our international growth. During 2004, we did not introduce any new products in the United States; however, we introduced certain core products into our foreign markets, including FibRestore and ReversAge in Malaysia.

In the United States, our largest market, the number of active distributors increased to 47,190 at December 31, 2004 from 41,000 at December 31, 2003. New distributor enrollments in the United States increased to 22,975 in 2004 compared to 20,800 in 2003. The retention rate of distributors who renew their annual agreement was 57.7% in 2004, as compared to a renewal rate of 53.7% in the prior year. The renewal rate was also slightly better than the average renewal rate over the last five years of 55.0%. Master Affiliates and above increased to 12,460 in the United States as of December 31, 2004 from 9,150 as of December 31, 2003. Nearly 6,900 distributors qualified as new Master Affiliates in 2004 and 61.2% of the Master Affiliates and above as of December 31, 2003, requalified as Master Affiliates and above during 2004. In 2004, we processed approximately 207,170 wholesale orders in the United States at an average retail price of $504 compared to approximately 171,900 orders at an average of $480 in 2003.

The increase in distributor enrollment and retention in the United States in 2004 was due in part to the momentum created by the consistency and reinforcement of our training programs and business opportunity presentations, in the form of regional distributor conferences and other corporate-sponsored meetings. Also, we held our annual international distributor conference in St. Louis, Missouri in August 2004 with approximately 6,000 distributors in attendance. These activities have resulted in more distributors reaching the Master Affiliate level and above, who generally are more experienced and productive distributors.

In the Australia/ New Zealand market, net sales increased to $2.5 million in 2004 from $2.1 million in 2003. New distributor enrollments during 2004 in the Australia/ New Zealand market were 1,419, as compared to 905 in 2003. Distributor renewals in the market were 63.1% in 2004 as compared to 65.3% in 2003. A portion of the sales increase as measured in U.S. dollars is the result of the strengthening of the Australian and New Zealand dollars relative to the U.S. dollar, but sales in Australia measured in local currency increased in 2004, as well. On a local currency basis, sales in Australia increased by 11.1% in 2004 compared to 2003, whereas local currency sales in New Zealand decreased by 9.3% in 2004 compared to 2003. In September 2003, we changed our compensation plan to pay royalties based on the full retail price of products. This change in the compensation plan was part of our worldwide plan to make the business model seamless from country to country. As a result of the additional royalty expense due to the compensation plan change, along with the added expenses of the new sales manager, the market experienced a net loss in 2004. The combined net loss for the Australia/ New Zealand market was $132,000 in 2004 compared to net income of $2,000 in 2003. Similar changes in the compensation plans were made in Canada and the United Kingdom earlier in 2003, and similar changes were made for the Mexican and Philippine markets in 2005.

Net sales in Canada increased in 2004 to $1.8 million from $1.3 million in 2003. During 2004, the Canadian dollar continued to strengthen considerably compared to the U.S. dollar, and this caused a portion of the net sales improvement, when expressed in U.S. dollars. In Canadian dollars, net sales improved by 28.9% in 2004 compared to 2003. New distributor enrollments were 853 in 2004 compared to 594 in 2003, with a distributor renewal rate of 55.0% during 2004. The Canadian operation showed an increase in net income in 2004 to $249,000, as compared to a net income of $155,000 in 2003. Growth in the Canadian market is a by-product of the success being experienced in the U.S. market, as the same sales development strategies are used in Canada.

Net sales in Mexico in 2004 were $2.6 million compared to $3.3 million in 2003. New distributor enrollments increased in 2004 to 7,904 compared to 5,939 in 2003. Net sales in Mexico declined due in part to more stringent Master Affiliate qualification requirements and other changes to the distributor compensation plan, as the distributor force in Mexico was adversely affected by these changes. The net loss in this market decreased to $113,000 in 2004, as compared to a net loss of $134,000 in 2003.

Net sales in the United Kingdom in 2004 were $545,000 compared to $475,000 in 2003. The increase in net sales is almost entirely due to the stronger UK pound compared to the U.S. dollar. Net sales in UK pounds for 2004 increased by 2.7% compared to 2003. New distributor enrollments were 193 in 2004 compared to 166 in 2003. The net loss incurred in this market increased to $183,000 in 2004 from $115,000 in 2003. The increase in sales was offset by higher commission expenses, as we made a change to the UK compensation plan, similar to the Australia/ New Zealand market, to pay royalties on the full retail value of the products.

Net sales in the Philippines in 2004 were $2.9 million compared to $3.4 million in 2003. New distributor enrollments were 5,360 in 2004 compared to 6,311 in 2003. As in Mexico, net sales declined due in part to the changes made in the business model and distributor compensation plan, which resulted in fewer distributors in the Philippines. The Philippines operations had a net loss of $164,000 in 2004 compared to a net loss of $15,000 in 2003. Approximately $65,000 of the net loss was due to a valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets for net operating loss carryforwards that the likelihood of utilization is uncertain prior to their expiration in 2005 and 2006. Additionally, the Philippines operation was subject to a minimum corporate income tax based on gross profit of approximately $45,000.

Malaysia/ Singapore had net sales of $2.8 million during 2004 compared to net sales of $580,000 during 2003. Malaysia opened in September 2003, and Singapore opened in March 2004. Approximately 4,900 new distributors enrolled during 2004 in this market compared to approximately 1,200 new distributor enrollments during the last four months of 2003. We had a net loss of $170,000 in this market in 2004 compared to a net loss of $237,000 during 2003, Malaysia’s start-up year.

Our Direct Select Program is available for distributors and their retail customers to order products in less than case lots directly from us. In the United States in 2004, the program processed a total of 58,800 orders for a suggested retail value of $6.2 million compared to 40,300 orders totaling $4.3 million in 2003. The average order size at suggested retail value remained constant at $106 in both 2004 and 2003.

Cost of Products Sold. Cost of products sold as a percentage of net sales remained steady at 17.2% for 2003 and 2004. Increased volume efficiencies were offset by expenses incurred in the start-up of a manufacturing equipment upgrade installed during the third and fourth quarters of 2004. Overall ingredient costs in 2004 were stable, with nominal price increases on some items. Also, the cost of increased analytical testing procedures required under Australian regulations increased cost of products sold.

Distributor Royalties and Commissions. Distributor royalties and commissions as a percentage of net sales increased to 39.8% in 2004 compared to 38.9% in 2003. The continuing increase in the percentage was the result of royalty payments being made on the full retail value of the products in most of our international markets. These expenses are governed by our Distributor Agreements and are directly related to the level of sales. Included in the 2004 distributor royalties and commissions are royalties of $2.0 million earned through the Ambassador Program as compared to $1.5 million in 2003. The Ambassador Program compensates distributors at the highest levels for their leadership and development of sales. As of December 31, 2004, there were 238 Ambassadors compared to 210 Ambassadors at the end of 2003.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. SGA expenses as a percentage of net sales were 33.7% for 2004 and 34.4% in 2003. The percentage decrease is due to the increase in our net sales. Total SGA expenses increased from $26.4 million in 2003 to $32.7 million in 2004.

In 2004, total distribution and warehouse expenses increased to $1.6 million from $1.5 million in 2003 primarily due to increased expenses in the United States to support the growth in sales.

Total sales and marketing expenses in 2004 were $14.5 million compared to $11.9 million in 2003, an increase of 21.9% in 2004. Amounts paid in the “Star Director Bonus” and other volume-related bonuses paid to distributors increased by $1.1 million in 2004 as compared to 2003, as the result of increased sales. The Star Director Program compensates distributors who reach certain levels of sales organization growth with bonuses based on the retail sales of their distributor network. In 2004, $3.6 million was paid through this program compared to $2.8 million in 2003. Credit card processing fees also increased by $408,000 in 2004 as compared to 2003, also as the result of increased sales. Distributor training and other distributor support expenses increased by $304,000. Sales and marketing expenses, as a percentage of net sales, were 14.9% in 2004 and 15.4% in 2003.

Total general and administrative expenses in 2004 were $16.6 million compared to $13.1 million in 2003. The expenses paid to outside parties in 2004 to supplement management’s documentation and assessment of internal controls required under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act were the most significant component of this increase. Accounting fees increased by $1.3 million from 2003 to 2004. Most of this increase was related to the expenses incurred to perform the work required under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Because of the increase in our stock price over the first six months of 2004, we became classified as an “accelerated filer.” As a result, the period of time in which we had to perform this internal control assessment was compressed. Many of these costs were one-time expenses, as part of the first year start-up and documentation under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

Total staff compensation and fringe benefits increased by 13.9%, or $1.3 million, in 2004 compared to 2003. This increase is due to the increase in incentive compensation bonuses paid during 2004, the addition of Malaysia and Singapore and various staffing increases, primarily in the United States. Significant changes in general and administrative expenses included an increase in travel expenses by $167,000 in 2004 compared to 2003; business insurance expenses increased by $191,000 in 2004 compared to 2003; and director’s fees, investor relations expenses and other expenses related to being a publicly-traded company increased by $356,000 in 2004 compared to 2003.

Interest Expense. Interest expense in 2004 was $243,000 compared to $235,000 in 2003. Interest expense increased slightly in 2004, as the prime rate increased from 4.0% at the end of 2003 to 5.25% at the end of 2004. The term loan on our headquarters facility was a variable rate instrument equal to the prime rate.

Income Taxes. Income tax expense was $3.6 million for 2004 and $2.9 million for 2003. The effective tax rate for 2004 was 40.2%. State income taxes, along with foreign losses with no U.S. tax benefit, represent most of the increase over the U.S. statutory tax rate of 34.0%. Also, in the Philippines, a minimum corporate income tax and a valuation allowance recorded against the deferred tax asset had a slight impact on the effective tax rate in 2004. The effective tax rate for 2003 was 39.8%.

Net Income. Our 2004 net income available to common stockholders was $5.4 million or $0.31 per share diluted. This compares with net income of $4.3 million or $0.26 per share diluted in 2003. Net income in the United States, our primary market, was $5.9 million in 2004 compared to net income of $4.7 million in 2003 and led to our overall improvement in both sales and profitability. Net loss from international operations was $513,000 in 2004 compared with a net loss of $344,000 in 2003. Our net income was adversely impacted by the expenses we incurred related to the first year of management’s documentation and assessment of internal controls as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

We generated $12.5 million of net cash during 2005 from operating activities, $1.6 million was used in investing activities, and we used $15.2 million in financing activities. This compares to $7.4 million of net cash provided by operating activities, $1.8 million used in investing activities, and $3.4 million used in financing activities in 2004. Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $4.5 million to $5.7 million as of December 31, 2005 compared to December 31, 2004.

Significant changes in working capital items consisted of a decrease in inventories of $327,000, an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $538,000, and a decrease in refundable income taxes payable of $1.3 million in 2005. The decrease in inventories is a result of better production efficiencies gained from manufacturing equipment upgrades installed during the third and fourth quarters of 2004. The increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses is due to increased production volume and other expenses related to the increase in sales volume, coupled with the increase in distributor commissions payable at December 31, 2005 compared to December 31, 2004. This increase in distributor commissions payable is the result of higher total sales in December 2005 compared to December 2004. The decrease in the refundable income taxes is the result of a refund received from the Internal Revenue Service on the overpayment of income tax deposits.

Our net investing activities included $1.7 million, $1.9 million and $1.0 million for capital expenditures in the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The most significant financing activity in 2005 was $13.8 million in purchases of treasury stock. Of the $13.8 million in stock purchases, we paid $9.7 million in cash and issued notes for the remaining $4.1 million. As of December 31, 2005, $3.1 million of the notes was outstanding. The majority of this treasury stock was purchased from a former officer, a former officer and director and his wife, and three of our current officers and directors. In March 2005, we announced that our board of directors had approved a stock repurchase plan of our common stock of up to $15 million over the next three years. We purchased approximately $4.3 million of stock in the open market during 2005. In June 2005, we also paid the remaining balance of the long-term debt on our headquarters facility totaling approximately $3.5 million. In 2005, we also paid $1.2 million in common stock dividends and received $274,000 in proceeds from the exercise of options and warrants. In 2004, we paid $975,000 for the redemption of preferred stock, $12,000 in preferred stock dividends and $1.0 million in common stock dividends. We also used $1.3 million to purchase treasury stock and received $292,000 in proceeds from the exercise of options and warrants. In 2004, all treasury stock was purchased from related parties. During 2003, we purchased $1.2 million of treasury stock and received $142,000 in proceeds from the sale of treasury stock and $328,000 in proceeds from the exercise of options and warrants.

Stockholders’ equity decreased to $12.6 million at December 31, 2005 compared with $18.2 million at December 31, 2004. The decrease is primarily due to a stock repurchase of approximately $4.1 million of our common stock from a former officer and director and his wife in the first quarter of 2005, stock purchases from three of our officers and directors totaling $5.1 million that took place in May 2005 and $4.6 million of other 2005 treasury stock purchases, offset by our net income during 2005. Stockholders’ equity also increased by $1.4 million and $2.6 million as the result of the tax benefit from the exercise of nonqualified options and warrants during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Our working capital balance was $4.0 million at December 31, 2005 compared to $11.5 million at December 31, 2004. The current ratio at December 31, 2005 was 1.4 compared to 2.4 at previous year-end. In June 2005, we entered into a new $15 million secured revolving credit facility with our primary lender. This new facility replaced our previous operating line of credit that had a maximum borrowing limit of $1 million. The new facility expires in April 2007, and any advances accrue interest at a variable interest rate based on LIBOR. The credit facility is secured by all of our assets. The new facility includes covenants to maintain total stockholders’ equity of not less than $10.5 million, and that the ratio of borrowings under the facility to EBITDA shall not exceed 3.5 to 1.0. At December 31, 2005, we had not utilized any of the new revolving line of credit facility and were in compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity covenant.

Management believes that our internally generated funds, along with the proceeds from this offering, and the borrowing capacity under the new revolving line of credit facility will be sufficient to meet working capital requirements for the remainder of 2006.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our financial statements are based on the selection and application of significant accounting policies, which require management to make significant estimates and assumptions. We believe that the following are some of the more critical judgment areas in the application of our accounting policies that currently affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Product cost includes raw material, labor and overhead costs and is accounted for using the first-in, first-out basis. On a periodic basis, we review our inventory levels in each country for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable items, as compared to future demand requirements and the shelf life of the various products. Based on this review, we record inventory write-downs when costs exceed expected net realizable value. Historically, our estimates of our obsolete or unmarketable items have been materially accurate.

Foreign Currency Translation

All balance sheet accounts are translated using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Statements of operations amounts are translated using the average exchange rate for the year-to-date periods. The gains and losses resulting from the changes in exchange rates during this interim period have been reported in other comprehensive loss. Foreign currency translation adjustments exclude income tax expense (benefit) given that our investments in non-U.S. subsidiaries are deemed to be reinvested for an indefinite period of time.

Legal Proceedings

In the ordinary course of business, we are subject to various legal proceedings, including lawsuits and other claims related to labor, product and other matters. We are required to assess the likelihood of adverse judgments and outcomes to these matters as well as the range of potential loss. Such assessments are

required to determine whether a loss contingency reserve is required under the provisions of SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, and to determine the amount of required reserves, if any. These assessments are subjective in nature. Management makes these assessments for each individual matter based on consultation with outside counsel and based on prior experience with similar claims. To the extent additional information becomes available or our strategies or assessments change, our estimates of potential liability for a given matter may change. Changes to estimates of liability would result in a corresponding additional charge or benefit recognized in the statement of operations in the period in which such changes become known. We recognize the costs associated with legal defense in the periods incurred. Accordingly, the future costs of defending claims are not included in our estimated liability.

Income Tax Matters

We face challenges from domestic and foreign tax authorities regarding the amount of taxes due. These challenges include questions regarding the timing and amount of deductions and the allocation of income among various taxing jurisdictions. In evaluating the exposure associated with our various filing positions, we estimate reserves for probable exposures. Based on our evaluation of our tax positions, we believe we have appropriately accrued for probable exposures. To the extent we were to prevail in matters for which accruals have been established or be required to pay amounts in excess of our reserves, our effective tax rate in a given financial statement period may be materially impacted.

At December 31, 2005, we had deferred tax assets related to net operating loss carryforwards and other income tax credits with a tax value of $1.9 million. These net operating loss carryforwards have various expiration dates, depending on the country in which they occurred. A valuation allowance of $1.8 million has been established for a portion of these deferred tax assets based on projected future taxable income and the expiration dates of these carryforwards.

Foreign Currency Risk

Our earnings and cash flows are subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency rates as we have several foreign subsidiaries and continue to explore expansion into other foreign countries. As a result, exchange rate fluctuations may have an effect on sales and gross margins. Accounting practices require that our results from operations be converted to U.S. dollars for reporting purposes. Consequently, our reported earnings in future periods may be significantly affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates, generally increasing with a weaker U.S. dollar and decreasing with a strengthening U.S. dollar. Products manufactured by us for sale to our foreign subsidiaries are transacted in U.S. dollars.

Net sales outside of the United States represented 9.7%, 13.5%, and 14.5% of total net sales in 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively. Our primary exposures to adverse currency fluctuations would result in an increase in the cost of goods sold, relative to foreign net sales, as the vast majority of the products sold are purchased from the parent company in the United States, with prices denominated in U.S. dollars. As of December 31, 2005, we had a net investment in our foreign subsidiaries of $3.8 million (in U.S. dollars).

We have performed a sensitivity analysis as of December 31, 2005 that measures the change in the results of our foreign operations arising from a hypothetical 10% adverse movement in the exchange rate of all of the currencies in the countries in which we presently operate. Using the results of operations for 2005 for our foreign operations as a basis for comparison, an adverse movement of 10% would create a potential reduction in our net income of less than $50,000 and reduce the value of the net investment in the foreign subsidiaries by $380,000.

We enter into foreign exchange forward contracts with a financial institution to sell Canadian dollars in order to protect against currency exchange risk associated with expected future cash flows. We have

accounted for these contracts as freestanding derivatives, such that gains or losses on the fair market value of these forward exchange contracts are recorded as other income and expense in the consolidated statements of operations. The net changes in the fair value of these forward contracts, as of December 31, 2005 was a cumulative expense of $59,000. As of December 31, 2005, we had no hedging instruments in place to offset exposure to the Australian or New Zealand dollars, Mexican or Philippine pesos, the Malaysian ringgit, the Singapore dollar, the EU Euro, or the British pound.

Interest Rate Risk

We have $3.1 million in long-term debt with a weighted-average effective interest rate of 4.03% at December 31, 2005. Of this amount, all but $27,000 is debt with a fixed interest rate of 4.0%. Since substantially all of our long-term debt has a fixed interest rate, we are not subject to any interest rate risk.

We also are exposed to market risk in changes in commodity prices in some of the raw materials we purchase for our manufacturing needs. However, this presents a risk that would not have a material effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

Contractual Obligations

The table below presents our contractual obligations and commercial commitments as of December 31, 2005. This consists of our long-term debt and operating leases. For the long-term debt, the amounts shown represent the principal and interest amounts by year of anticipated maturity for our debt obligations and related average interest rates based on the weighted-average interest rates at the end of the period. For the operating leases, the amounts shown represent the future minimum payments under noncancelable leases with initial or remaining terms in excess of one year as of December 31, 2005.

BUSINESS

Overview

We are a developer, manufacturer and marketer of a proprietary line of nutritional supplements addressing basic nutrition, specific wellness needs, weight management and sports nutrition. Our science-based supplements are packaged in powdered form and are not only simple to use but also, when mixed with water, juice or other liquid and consumed, provide an effective means of delivering nutrients to the body. We also offer a line of skin care products. We sell our products through an international network marketing system using independent distributors. We have sold products in the United States since 1988 and in selected international markets since 1991.

We currently offer 13 nutritional supplements and a line of seven skin care products. We have selectively evolved our product offering over our history. Our core line of nutritional supplements, which represented 61.4% of net sales for the year ended December 31, 2005, includes the following four products:


	•	Reliv Classic and Reliv NOW — two basic nutritional supplements containing a full and balanced blend of vitamins, minerals, proteins and herbs

	•	Innergize! — an isotonic sports supplement in three flavors

	•	FibRestore — a high-fiber and antioxidant supplement

Industry Overview

Nutritional Supplement Market

We operate primarily in the $20.3 billion U.S. nutritional supplement market, which is part of the broader $68.6 billion U.S. nutrition industry according to 2004 data published by the Nutrition Business Journal, or NBJ, and $182.0 billion global nutrition industry, also according to the NBJ.

A combination of demographic, healthcare and lifestyle trends are expected to drive continued growth in the nutritional supplement market. These trends include:


	•	Aging Population: The U.S. Census Bureau projects that, by 2010, approximately 39.2% of the U.S. population will be 45 years of age or older, up from 34.5% in 2000. This growing population is expected to live longer, as the average life expectancy reached an all-time high of 74.4 years for men and 79.8 years for women in 2001 according to the Centers for Disease Control, or CDC. We believe this growing population will continue to focus on their nutritional needs as they age.

	•	Rising Healthcare Costs and Use of Preventive Measures: The cost of the U.S. healthcare system has increased rapidly, reaching approximately $1.9 trillion in 2004 and is expected to reach $3.6 trillion by 2014, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Since 2000, insurance premiums for family coverage have increased by 73% compared with inflation growth of 14% according to the 2005 Employer Health Benefits Survey by the Kaiser Family Foundation and Health Research and Educational Trust. In order to maintain quality of life as well as reduce medical costs, many consumers take preventative measures to improve their general health, including the use of nutritional supplements.

	•	Increasing Focus on Weight Management: A study from the CDC completed in 2002 estimated that 65% of the U.S. adult population is overweight and 31% is obese. Since being overweight can lead to more serious health concerns such as diabetes, heart disease and other chronic illnesses, we believe that the rise in obesity will result in an increased need not only for weight loss products but wellness products as well.

	•	Increasing Focus on Fitness: In its 2005 annual report, the International Health, Racquet & Sportsclub Association, or IHRSA, estimated that there are approximately 85 million health club members worldwide, up from approximately 60 million five years ago, representing a compound annual growth rate of 7%. In the United States, there were approximately 41 million health club members, representing 14% of the population, according to the IHRSA report. We believe that fitness-oriented consumers are interested in taking sports nutrition products to increase energy, endurance and strength during exercise.

Direct Selling Market

Health and nutrition products are distributed through various market participants, including retailers, such as supermarkets, drugstores, mass merchants and specialty retailers, and direct marketers which include direct sellers (such as network marketers and healthcare practitioners), mail order companies and Internet retailers. We distribute our products through the direct selling channel via our network marketers.

Direct selling involves the marketing of products and services directly to consumers in a person-to-person manner. Direct selling is a significant global industry largely utilized for the sale of a wide range of consumer products from companies such as Avon Products Inc., Alticor Inc. (Amway Corp.) and Tupperware Brands Corporation. According to the World Federation of Direct Selling Associations, or WFDSA, the 2004 global direct selling market (for all product categories) was estimated to be $99.4 billion. The WFDSA estimates that the number of individuals engaged in direct selling grew by a 12.5% compound annual growth rate from 1993 to 2004 to include over 13.6 million direct salespeople in the United States and 54 million salespeople worldwide.

While the United States is currently the largest direct selling market with $29.9 billion in annual sales in 2004, international markets account for 70% of the entire industry, according to the WFDSA. Fourteen countries (including the United States) have annual direct sales revenue of at least $1 billion and 33 countries have annual direct sales revenue of at least $100 million, according to the WFDSA.

For the nutrition industry, the direct marketing channel accounted for approximately 34.0% of the total U.S. nutritional supplements sold in 2004, or approximately $6.9 billion, according to the NBJ. The direct marketing channel experienced more growth than retail channels in the United States for nutritional supplement sales in 2004, according to the NBJ. Direct sellers were the largest segment of the direct marketing channel.

We believe that we are well positioned to capitalize on the domestic and international growth trends in direct sales, as both a developer and manufacturer of proprietary nutritional products, utilizing our network marketing distribution system.

Our Competitive Strengths

We believe that we possess a number of competitive strengths that have enabled us to achieve sustained growth and profitability.

Complete, Simple Nutrition. We focus on the completeness, balance and simplicity of our basic nutritional supplements — Reliv Classic and Reliv NOW — as captured by our slogan, “Nutrition Made Simple. Life Made Rich.” Because these two basic nutritional supplements each contain a full and balanced blend of vitamins, minerals, proteins and herbs, supplementation is made simple for the consumer, who does not have to select and purchase several supplements for his or her basic nutritional needs. For more specific individual needs, we provide 11 additional supplements. We believe that our two basic nutritional supplements, together with our additional supplements and skin care products, enhance the ability of our distributors to build their businesses by providing a comprehensive, simple product offering.

In-House Development and Production. We have developed substantially all of our products utilizing nutrition science as the basis for product formulation. We maintain an ongoing research and development effort led by Dr. Carl W. Hastings, Ph.D. and consult regularly with other industry professionals and with the physicians on our Medical Advisory Board with respect to developments in nutritional science, product enhancements and new products. Since 1993, we have manufactured substantially all of our nutritional products at our facility in Chesterfield, Missouri. We believe our ability to formulate and manufacture our own products enables us to maintain our high standards of quality assurance and proprietary product composition.

Growing Upper-Level Distributor Team. Our upper-level distributor team consists of distributors who have achieved the level of Master Affiliate or above. Our upper-level distributors generally are our most productive distributors and are essential in recruiting, motivating and training our entire distributor network. We, and our upper-level distributors, lead thousands of annual events throughout all of our markets to motivate and train distributors, including regular recruiting meetings, trainings, conference calls, training schools for Master Affiliates and higher levels and regional, national and international distributor

conferences. On December 31, 2005, we had a total of approximately 65,480 active distributors in all of our markets, of which approximately 17,840 were Master Affiliates or above. The number of distributors at the Master Affiliate level or above has increased at a compound rate of 21.7% from December 31, 2003 to December 31, 2005. The top 10 distributors at the Ambassador level have been with us for an average of 13 years, which provides consistency in training new distributors and contributes to increased sales.

Uniform Distributor Business Model. Our distributor compensation system is uniform throughout our domestic and international markets. The compensation plan is “seamless” in that distributors in each market all receive discounts and commissions on the same terms. We also provide consistent distributor documentation, training and methods throughout our system and in all of our markets. We believe this uniform model is effective in motivating and training distributors to build their businesses and enter new markets.

Experienced and Incentivized Management Team. Our management team is led by our founder, Robert L. Montgomery, who has been our Chief Executive Officer since the inception of our company in 1985. Our executive officers have been employed by our company for an average of 13 years and are experienced in their areas of focus, which include manufacturing, sales, finance, marketing and operations. Assuming successful completion of the offering, our directors and executive officers will continue to beneficially own approximately 33.7% of our common stock.

Our Business Strategy

Leverage and Expand our Existing Distributor Base Throughout the United States. The United States has been and will continue to be our largest market. Over the three years ended December 31, 2005, our domestic net sales grew by 21.5% compounded annually. We have achieved this growth through multiple initiatives, such as increased investment in company-sponsored events and training and better utilization of our upper-level distributors across different geographical areas. We will continue to implement these initiatives while focusing on untapped markets in the United States.

Expand in Existing and New International Markets. We believe there is a significant opportunity to increase our net sales in international markets. We have a uniform business model and recently have begun to support our international markets with the assistance and experience of our proven upper-level distributors. In selected markets, we also have begun investing in additional marketing support for our distributors that is consistent with our successful activities in the United States, including radio and newspaper advertising and company-sponsored distributor meetings. We believe this uniform business model and additional marketing expense will encourage expansion of our distributors in our existing international markets and will provide a framework that facilitates our entry into new international markets. To that end, we continue to monitor business conditions in potential new markets and will selectively expand as timing and conditions are appropriate.

Invest in Improved and New Products. As a developer of nutritional supplements, it is vital to continue to invest in the research and development of new and innovative products. Additionally, we will continue to improve and validate the efficacy of our existing product line. For example, in February 2006, we introduced new formulations of Reliv Classic and Reliv NOW in the United States that apply new whole

soybean technology. These types of investments will aid in customer and distributor retention, as well as the recruitment of new distributors. We may attempt to acquire licenses, as necessary, for ingredients or formulas, consistent with our past practice, and we may seek out new nutritional product lines or key ingredient suppliers that could be acquired to complement our existing products and product philosophy.

Expand and Improve our Manufacturing and Distribution Capabilities. We currently manufacture all of our nutritional supplements at our facility in Chesterfield, Missouri. This allows us to precisely control product composition and quality assurance. In 2004, we invested in an upgrade of our production lines to increase our throughput. We will continue to make appropriate investments that enhance our manufacturing capabilities and capacity to further leverage our existing facilities and trained production staff. We also are contemplating investment in automated distribution and shipping capabilities.

Our Products

Product Overview

Our product line includes nutritional supplements that address basic nutrition, specific wellness needs, weight management and sports nutrition.

Research and Development

We maintain an ongoing research and development effort led by Dr. Carl W. Hastings, Ph.D. and consult with other industry professionals and with the physicians on our Medical Advisory Board with respect to developments in nutritional science, product enhancements and new products. Since 2000, we have introduced six new products, including ReversAge, NOW for Kids, Reliv Delight, CardioSentials, ReversAge Performing Enhancing Skin Care and SoySense (which was discontinued in 2005). We have also reformulated and enhanced two of our core products — Reliv Classic and Reliv NOW — twice in the past five years, most recently in February 2006. We currently are in the later development stages of a new product that we anticipate introducing during 2006. In addition, we are in the conceptual stages with respect to certain potential products that would complement our existing product line. Our research and development team consistently evaluates product advancements in the marketplace and advancements in raw materials and ingredients for new product ideas and developments.

For the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, our research and development expenses were $558,000, $525,000 and $493,000, respectively.

Network Marketing Program

General Overview

We market and sell our products through a network marketing system of independent distributors, who purchase our products from us, or from other distributors, and who then sell our products directly to consumers. In addition to selling our products, our distributors also recruit others to distribute our products. Distributors receive compensation from both the sale of the products they have purchased at wholesale and, in the case of Master Affiliates and above, commissions on the volume of products sold by those Master Affiliates and above that they have sponsored. We believe network marketing is an effective way to distribute our products because it allows and relies on personal contact, education and endorsement of products which is not as readily available through other distribution channels.

We recognize that our sales growth is based on the continued development and growth of our independent distributor force and we strive to maintain an active and motivated distributor network through a combination of quality products, discounts, commissions and bonus payments, sales conventions, training, personal recognition and a variety of publications and promotional materials. We believe that the efficacy of our products, network model and compensation model is proven by the growth of our Master Affiliates and above, generally our most productive distributor ranks.

Program Structure

Individuals who desire to market and sell our products may become distributors by being sponsored into the program by an existing distributor, and becoming part of that distributor’s “downline.” We offer a tiered discount and commission, or royalty, format that consists of four principal levels and several sub-levels, which are designed to compensate and motivate distributors to increase their networks and sales volumes.

Our distributors consist principally of individuals, although we also permit entities such as corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies and trusts to become distributors. A new distributor is required to complete a distributor application and, in most areas, to purchase a package of distributor materials (for $39.95 plus shipping in the United States) consisting of a Distributor Guide and CD, business forms and promotional materials. The Distributor Agreement, when accepted by us, becomes the contract between us and the distributor and obligates the distributor to the terms of the agreement, which includes our Policies and Procedures for conduct of their business. All distributors are independent contractors and are not our employees.

In each country in which we conduct business, distributors operate under a uniform compensation system in which distributors generally are compensated based on their sales volumes. On the basis of sales

volume or commission volume, distributors may achieve the following successive levels of achievement and compensation:


Designation	Discount

Retail Distributor		20%
Affiliate		25%
Key Affiliate		30%
Senior Affiliate		35%
Master Affiliate		40%	⁽¹⁾
Director		40%	⁽¹⁾
Key Director		40%	⁽¹⁾
Senior Director		40%	⁽¹⁾
Master Director		40%	⁽¹⁾
Presidential Director		40%	⁽¹⁾


⁽¹⁾	In addition to discounts, these levels also receive commissions based on downline sales by Master Affiliates and above that they sponsor.

Distributors purchase products from us at a discount from the suggested retail price for the products and then may sell the product at retail to customers, sell the product to other distributors at wholesale or consume the product. The amount of the discount varies depending on the distributor’s level of achievement, as indicated above.

Distributors receive payments equal to the difference between the price at which they sell the product to customers and the discounted price they pay for the product. Distributors also earn wholesale commissions on products purchased by downline distributors in the distributor’s sponsored group equal to the difference between the price at which the distributor is entitled to purchase product and the price at which downline distributors purchase product. We calculate payments and issue a check directly to the qualified distributor once a month. For example, assume A is a 40% discount Master Affiliate who signs up B, a 30% discount Key Affiliate, who signs up C, a 20% discount Retail Distributor. If C purchases directly from us, a 10% wholesale profit check will be sent to both A and B.

Upon achieving the level of Master Affiliate, distributors begin to receive additional compensation — “generation royalty” — payments of 8%, 6%, 4%, 3% and 2% of the retail volume of product purchased from us by Master Affiliates and above (and their personal groups) whom they have sponsored, and for each of five levels of sponsorship. To qualify for these additional compensation payments, Master Affiliates and above are required to maintain certain monthly sales volumes and to document specified levels of retail sales.

Master Affiliates who sponsor other distributors that achieve the level of Master Affiliate are entitled to become part of the Director Program. Advancement at the Director level is based upon achieving increasing levels of royalties based on sales generated by other distributors in the Director’s downline organization. Distributors achieving each level receive recognition for their achievements at our company-sponsored events and in our publications. We also have a Star Director Program under which distributors achieving the level of Director and above receive additional compensation based on the number of Master Affiliates they have sponsored into the program. Directors receive an additional 1% to 3% royalty on the retail sales volume of Master Affiliates in their downline organization for an unlimited number of levels of sponsorship, until reaching a level that includes a Master Affiliate who also has achieved Star Director status.

Master Directors and Presidential Directors may also be invited to participate in the Ambassador Program. As of December 31, 2005, we had 298 Ambassadors. Qualifications to be invited by us to participate in the Ambassador Program include demonstrated competence and leadership qualities. Ambassadors receive recognition and awards for achieving Ambassador status and can then achieve additional levels of accomplishment. We utilize our Ambassadors to lead meetings and conferences, and to provide training and education to our distributors. Ambassadors achieving the level of Silver and higher also participate in the “Reliv Inner Circle,” which may entitle them to receive additional compensation, paid participation in our sponsored events, health insurance and car allowances.

In addition to the levels of compensation described, we also provide a variety of incentives, bonuses, awards and trips to distributors who achieve high sales volumes and who advance in the distributor ranks.

Distributor Training, Motivation and Management

Our marketing efforts are focused on the development, training, motivation and support of our independent distributors. We support an active training program for our distributors in which our representatives and experienced distributors, usually Ambassadors, lead group training sessions. We provide distributors with manuals, brochures and other promotional, training and informational publications. We encourage distributors to hold regular Tuesday evening recruiting meetings and Saturday training sessions. We sponsor weekly training conference calls in which a significant number of distributors participate.

Our sponsorship generally includes the following:


	•	During 2005, we sponsored approximately 40 training schools on a quarterly basis in all of our markets for new Master Affiliates;

	•	In the United States, we sponsor five regional distributor conferences annually;

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

	•	In the United States, we sponsor an annual International Conference for all distributors.

During 2005, we invested approximately $4.2 million in training, conferences and promotional events for our distributors worldwide.

Distributor Compliance

Our distributor organization and business model are designed and intended to promote the sale of our products to consumers by distributors. Sales training and promotional efforts emphasize that intention. To that end, and to comply with applicable governmental regulations of network marketing organizations, we have established specific programs and requirements for distributors, including (1) monitoring by us of purchases by distributors to identify potentially excessive individual purchases, (2) requiring that distributors certify to a minimum number of retail sales, and (3) requiring that distributors certify the sale of at least 70% of previous purchases of a particular product prior to the purchase of additional amounts of such product. Distributors are not required at any time to purchase product, although Master Affiliates and above are required to maintain certain minimum sales levels in their personal groups to continue receiving generation royalty compensation payments.

Distributors may create their own advertising provided that it is within our advertising rules. Unless a distributor is using our designed and approved advertisements, the distributor must submit for approval in writing all advertising (e.g. brochures, flyers, audio tapes, classified or display ads, radio scripts) to our Compliance Department before placing it or arranging for placement.

Pursuant to our Policies and Procedures, which are incorporated by reference into our Distributor Agreement, distributors are permitted to make only those claims about our products that have been approved

by us and/or provided in sales and training materials. Distributors acknowledge that our products are not represented as drugs and they are not authorized to make any diagnosis of any medical condition, make drug-type claims for, or prescribe our products to treat or cure, any disease or condition. We do not authorize or permit our distributors to make any express or implied references with regard to our products that they cure, prevent or relieve disease, replace or augment medication, provide therapy, promote healing, alleviate illnesses or symptoms of illnesses, or make any other medical claims for specific ailments.

In order to comply with regulations that apply to both us and our distributors, we conduct considerable research into the applicable regulatory framework prior to entering any new market to identify all necessary licenses and approvals and applicable limitations on operations in that market. We devote substantial resources to obtaining the necessary licenses and approvals and maintaining operations that are in compliance with the applicable limitations. We also research laws applicable to distributor operations and revise or alter distributor materials and products and similar matters, as required by applicable regulations in each market.

Regulations in existing and new markets often are ambiguous and subject to considerable interpretive and enforcement discretion by the responsible regulators. In addition, regulations affecting our business often change and are subject to varying interpretation and application. We make every effort to monitor and comply with changes in laws and regulations as they occur.

We have a Compliance Department that receives and reviews allegations of distributor misconduct. If we determine that a distributor has violated our Policies and Procedures, we may take a number of disciplinary actions. For example, we may impose sanctions such as warnings or suspensions until specific conditions are satisfied, or take other appropriate actions at our discretion, including termination of the distributor’s agreement.

Geographic Presence

Markets

We currently sell our products throughout the United States and in 10 other countries around the world. We have sold products in the United States since 1988 and sold our first product outside of the United States in 1991 when we entered Australia. In 2005, approximately 9.7% of our net sales were generated outside of the United States.

The table below shows the countries in which we operate and the year we commenced selling products:


Country	Year Entered

United States		1988
Australia		1991
New Zealand		1992
Canada		1992
Mexico		1993
United Kingdom⁽¹⁾		1995
Philippines		2000
Malaysia		2003
Ireland		2003
Singapore		2004
Germany		2005


⁽¹⁾	Includes Great Britain, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Within the United States, we sell our products to distributors in all 50 states. We derived more than 5.0% of our net sales in 2005 in each of California, Kansas, Illinois, Arizona, Nebraska and Utah. We believe that there is the opportunity to increase the number of our distributors in all markets where we sell our products, particularly in California and the Southeast as our existing distributor bases grow and expand. Additionally, we intend to develop and strengthen distributor groups in other markets, which may include the Mid-Atlantic states and Texas.

We organize all of our international operations under our wholly owned subsidiary, Reliv’ World. As of December 31, 2005, Reliv’ World consisted of the following market-specific entities: Reliv’ Australia, Reliv’ New Zealand, Reliv’ Canada, Reliv’ Mexico, Reliv’ UK (including Ireland), Reliv’ Philippines, Reliv’ Malaysia, Reliv’ Singapore, and Reliv’ Germany. We have utilized this method of separate corporations in most of our markets, as local business licensing and product approvals require a local entity.

We believe that there is a significant opportunity to increase sales in all of our current international markets. We have established a uniform business model and compensation plan across all of our markets, and we have recently begun to support our international markets with the marketing support and know-how of our proven distributors. We are currently embarking on a targeted plan of developing new distributor groups in Australia, using one of our top distributors to work on-site in Australia to establish and then cultivate a new distributor network. We believe that other of our top distributors will have a similar interest to expand their distributor networks internationally and can do so effectively with similar support from us.

In addition to increasing sales in current international markets, our expansion strategy targets selected new foreign markets. Our recent entry into Germany and our 10 years of experience in the UK offer us the opportunity to expand into additional EU markets. Similarly, our presence in Malaysia, Singapore and the Philippines provides us with familiarity from which to expand into other areas of Asia.

New Market Entry Process

We constantly evaluate new markets for our products. In order to do so, we perform an analysis of synergies between new and existing countries and distributor presence or interest in new markets, market conditions, regulatory conditions, product approval procedures and competition before selecting markets to enter. Once we decide to enter a new market, we first hire local legal counsel and/or a consultant with appropriate expertise to:


	•	help ensure that our network marketing system and products comply with all applicable regulations;

	•	help establish favorable public relations in the new market by acting as an intermediary between us and local regulatory authorities, public officials and business people; and

	•	explain our products and product ingredients to appropriate regulators and, when necessary, to arrange for local technicians to conduct required ingredient analysis tests of the products.

Where regulatory approval in a foreign market is required, local counsel and/or consultants work with regulatory agencies to confirm that all of the ingredients in our products are permissible within the new market. Where reformulation of one or more of our products is required, we attempt to obtain substitute or replacement ingredients. During the regulatory compliance process, we may alter the formulation, packaging, branding or labeling of our products to conform to applicable regulations as well as local variations in customs and consumer habits, and we may modify some aspects of our network marketing system as necessary to comply with applicable regulations.

Following completion of the regulatory compliance phase, we undertake the steps necessary to meet the operations requirements of the new market. In the majority of our new markets, we establish a sales center in a major city and provide for product purchases by telephone and/or pick up. Product is shipped to the

purchaser from a warehouse located in the general geographic market or the distributor may walk in to the local office and purchase products, if a pick up center is available. In addition, we initiate plans to satisfy inventory, personnel and transportation requirements of the new market, and we modify our distributor materials, cassette recordings, video cassettes and other training materials as necessary to be suitable for the new market.

In some countries, regulations applicable to the activities of our distributors also may affect our business because in some countries we are, or regulators may assert that we are, responsible for our distributors’ conduct. In these countries, regulators may request or require that we take steps to ensure that our distributors comply with local regulations.

Manufacturing

We established a manufacturing line at our facility in Chesterfield, Missouri and began to manufacture all of our nutritional supplements in early 1993. We expanded our Chesterfield facility in 1997 to now include 126,000 square feet of space. At our Chesterfield facility, we manufacture all of our nutritional supplements for distribution both domestically and internationally. Our skin care line is manufactured by a third party that is both owner and licensee of certain proprietary technology used in our skin care products.

Our ability to manufacture our nutritional supplements is a competitive advantage with respect to competitors not engaged in manufacturing and contributes to our ability to provide high-quality products. Our product manufacturing includes identifying suppliers of raw materials, acquiring the finest quality raw materials, blending exact amounts of raw materials into batches, and canning and labeling the finished products. Since we carefully select our ingredient suppliers, we are able to control the quality of raw materials and our finished products. We have not experienced any difficulty in obtaining supplies of raw materials for our nutritional supplements. By monitoring and testing products at all stages of the manufacturing process, we can precisely control product composition. In addition, we believe we can control costs by manufacturing our own nutritional supplements.

In 1996, we received approval from the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration, or TGA, to manufacture products sold in Australia at our Chesterfield plant. The certification of our Chesterfield site by the Australian TGA also satisfied Canadian requirements. In 2004, our Chesterfield plant was audited and re-certified by the Australian TGA.

Fulfillment

Distributors order product in case lots of individual quantities and pay for the goods prior to shipment. We offer our Direct Select Program for distributors and their retail customers to order product in less than case lots directly from us by phone. Auto-Ship, an automatic monthly reorder program available for distributors and customers, provides a simple and convenient ordering process for consumers as well as distributors wanting to satisfy maintenance requirements. Product is shipped directly to the distributor or customer and upline distributors earn wholesale profits or, if applicable, a commission on all Direct Select Program and Auto-Ship sales.

In the United States, our products are warehoused and shipped by common carrier to distributors. Our facility in Chesterfield, Missouri serves all parts of the country. Our products are also warehoused in, and shipped to local distributors from: Sydney, Australia; Auckland, New Zealand; Oakville, Canada; Birmingham, England; Petaling Jaya, Malaysia; Singapore; and Frankfurt, Germany. Our Philippines subsidiary currently has approximately 22 product pick-up centers located throughout the country which are operated by local business contractors and two company-owned and operated business centers located in Makati and Davao. In Mexico, product is warehoused and shipped in and from approximately

12 distribution centers located throughout the country. With the exception of our Canada and New Zealand subsidiaries, each of our subsidiaries maintains an office and personnel to receive, record and fill orders from distributors. Distributors in Ireland order and receive product from our UK subsidiary.

We maintain a policy that unused product may be returned by a customer to the selling distributor for a full refund or exchange within 30 days after purchase. We also maintain a policy that any distributor who terminates his or her distributorship may return saleable product which was purchased from us within twelve months of the termination for a refund of 90% of the purchase price less any compensation received relating to the purchase of the products. We believe this buyback policy addresses and satisfies a number of regulatory compliance issues pertaining to network marketing systems.

Historically, product returns and buy backs have not been significant. Product returns and buy backs have been approximately 1.20%, 0.91% and 0.81% of net sales for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Information Technology Systems

In order to facilitate our continued growth and support distributor activities, we continually upgrade our management information and telecommunication systems, along with increasing our internet-based capabilities. These systems include: (1) a centralized host computer in our Chesterfield headquarters, which is linked to our international offices via secure frame relay connections that provide real-time order entry and information to respond to distributor inquiries, as well as financial and inventory management systems; (2) local area networks of personal computers within our markets, serving our local administrative staffs; (3) an international e-mail system through which our employees communicate; (4) an Avaya telecommunication system that services the U.S. market; and (5) internet capabilities that provide a variety of online services to distributors, including product ordering, product information, event information and other related announcements, and tools to assist distributor leaders in managing their downline distributor group. We currently have an initiative underway to increase the percentage of distributor orders placed via the internet. To accomplish this goal, we have rolled out an enhanced shopping cart platform, and have announced periodic short-term incentives to encourage distributors to place their orders via the internet.

These systems are designed to provide financial and operating data for management, timely and accurate product ordering, royalty override payment calculation and processing, inventory management, and detailed distributor records. We intend to continue to invest in our systems in order to help meet our business strategies.

Intellectual Property

We have obtained U.S. patents on five products: Innergize!, FibRestore, Cellebrate, Arthaffect and ReversAge (specific wellness supplement). The principal ingredient delivery system of ReversAge (skin care) is licensed exclusively under issued U.S. patents. Our formulas are protected as trade secrets and, to the extent necessary, by confidentiality agreements.

Currently, we have nineteen marks registered with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, or USPTO, including Reliv and the names of twelve of our thirteen products. NOW for Kids is not registered with the USPTO. Trademark registrations for selected marks have been issued or applied for in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Germany and several other foreign countries that offer network marketing opportunities. We consider our trademarks to be an important asset of our business.

Regulation

Product Regulation

The formulation, manufacturing, labeling and advertising or promotion of our products are subject to regulation by the Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, which regulates our products under the federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, or FDCA, the Federal Trade Commission, or FTC, and various agencies of the states or countries into which our products are shipped or sold. FDA regulations include requirements and limitations with respect to the labeling of our food and cosmetic products and also with respect to the formulation of those products. FDA regulations also limit and control the extent to which health or other claims can be made with respect to the efficacy of any food and cosmetic. The FDCA has been amended several times with respect to dietary supplements, most recently by the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act of 1990, or NLEA, and the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994, or DSHEA, and related regulations. Such legislation governs the formulation, manufacturing, marketing and sale of nutritional supplements, including the content and presentation of health-related information included on the labels or labeling of nutritional supplements.

The majority of the products we market are classified as dietary supplements under the FDCA. Dietary supplements such as those we manufacture and sell, for which no “drug” claim is made, are not subject to FDA approval prior to their sale. However, DSHEA established a pre-market notification process for dietary supplements that contain a “new dietary ingredient,” or NDI, a term that is defined as “a dietary ingredient that was not marketed in the United States before October 15, 1994,” the date on which DSHEA was signed into law. Certain NDIs that have been “present in the food supply” are exempt from the notification requirement. For those NDIs that are not exempt, DSHEA requires the manufacturer or distributor of a dietary supplement containing an NDI to submit to the FDA, at least 75 days prior to marketing, a notification containing the basis for concluding that the dietary supplement containing the NDI will “reasonably be expected to be safe.” Dietary supplement products can be removed from the market if shown to be unsafe, or if the FDA determines, based on the labeling of products, that the intended use of the product is for the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment or prevention of disease. The FDA can regulate those products as “drugs” and require premarket approval of a “new drug application.” Manufacturers of dietary supplements that make any claims for dietary supplements, including product performance and health benefit claims, must have substantiation that the statements are truthful and not misleading.

In January 2000, the FDA published a final rule that defines the types of statements that can be made concerning the effect of a dietary supplement on the structure or function of the body pursuant to the DSHEA. Under the DSHEA, dietary supplement labeling may bear “structure/function” claims, which are claims that the products affect the structure or function of the body, without prior FDA approval. They may not, without prior FDA approval, bear a claim that they can prevent, treat, cure, mitigate or diagnose disease, otherwise known as a “drug claim.” The final rule describes how the FDA will distinguish drug claims from structure/ function claims. Dietary supplements, like conventional foods, are also permitted to make “health claims,” which are claims that are exempt from regulation as “drug” claims pursuant to the amendments to the FDCA established by the NLEA in 1990. A “health claim” is a claim, ordinarily approved by FDA regulation, on a food or dietary supplement product’s labeling that “characterizes the relationship of any substance to a disease or health-related condition.” To help assure that foods, dietary supplements and cosmetics comply with the provisions of the FDCA and FDA’s regulations, the FDA has numerous enforcement tools, including the ability to issue warning letters, initiate product seizures and injunctions and pursue criminal penalties.

The manufacture of dietary supplements is subject to existing FDA current good manufacturing practice, or cGMP, regulations for food. In March 2003, the FDA proposed more detailed cGMP regulations

specifically for dietary supplements. The FDA is expected to publish final cGMP regulations for dietary supplements in the near future.

Advertisements for our products are subject to regulation by the FTC. The FTC prohibits unfair methods of competition and unfair or deceptive acts or practices in or affecting commerce and provides that the dissemination of any false advertisement pertaining to drugs, cosmetics or foods, including dietary supplements, is an unfair or deceptive practice. Under the FTC’s substantiation doctrine, an advertiser must have a “reasonable basis” for all claims made about a product. The failure to be able to adequately substantiate claims may be considered either deceptive or unfair practices. In order to avoid a violation of the FTC standards, we endeavor to assure that we have adequate substantiation for all advertising claims made for our products. In addition, the FTC has increased its scrutiny of the use of distributor testimonials. Although it is impossible for us to monitor all the product claims made by our independent distributors, we make efforts to monitor distributor testimonials and restrict inappropriate distributor claims. The FTC has been more aggressive in pursuing enforcement against dietary supplement products since the passage of DSHEA in 1994, and has brought numerous actions against dietary supplement companies, some resulting in several million dollar civil penalties and/or restitution as well as court-ordered injunctions.

We are aware that, in some of our international markets, there has been recent adverse publicity concerning products that contain substances generally referred to as “genetically modified organisms,” or GMOs. In some markets, the possibility of health risks thought to be associated with GMOs has prompted proposed or actual governmental regulation. When necessary, we have responded to government regulations that forbid products containing GMOs by changing certain unacceptable ingredients to non-GMO. Some of our products in certain markets still contain substances that would be or might be classified as GMOs. We cannot anticipate the extent to which regulations in these markets will restrict the use of GMOs in our products or the impact of any regulations on our business in those markets. In response to any applicable future regulations, we intend to reformulate our products to satisfy the regulations. Compliance with regulatory requirements in this area should not have a material adverse effect on our business.

Sales Program Regulation

Our distribution and sales program is subject to regulation by the FTC and other federal and state regulation as well as regulations in several countries in which we engage in business. Various state agencies regulate multi-level distribution services. We are required to register with, and submit information to, certain of such agencies and we believe we have complied fully with such requirements. We actively strive to comply with all applicable state and federal laws and regulations affecting our products and our sales and distribution programs. The Attorneys General of several states have taken an active role in investigating and prosecuting companies whose compensation plans they claim violate local anti-pyramid and/or consumer protection statutes. We are unable to predict the effect such increased activity will have on our business in the future nor are we able to predict the probability of future laws, regulations or interpretations which may be passed by state or federal regulatory authorities.

Federal and state laws directed at network marketing programs have been adopted throughout the years to prevent the use of fraudulent practices often characterized as “pyramid schemes.” Illegal pyramid schemes compensate participants primarily for the introduction or enrollment of additional participants into the program. Often these schemes are characterized by large up-front entry or sign-up fees, over-priced products of low value, little or no emphasis on the sale or use of products, high-pressure recruiting tactics and claims of huge and quick financial rewards with little or no effort. Generally, these laws are directed at ensuring that product sales ultimately are made to consumers and that advancement within such sales organizations is based on sales of products. We have obtained approval of our marketing program as required in all of the markets where we operate and do so for each country we enter.

We believe that our network marketing system satisfies the standards and case law defining a legal marketing system. It is an ongoing part of our business to monitor and respond to regulatory and legal developments, including those that may affect our network marketing system. However, the regulatory and legal requirements concerning network marketing systems do not include “bright line” rules and are inherently fact-based.

Competition

The business of developing and distributing nutritional and skin care products such as those we offer is highly competitive. Numerous manufacturers, distributors and retailers compete for consumers and, in the case of other network marketing companies, for distributors. Our competitors include both network marketing companies such as Alticor Inc. (Amway Corp.), Avon Products Inc., Herbalife Ltd., Mary Kay Inc., Melaleuca, Inc., Nature’s Sunshine Products Inc., NuSkin Enterprises Inc. and USANA Health Sciences Inc., as well as specialty and mass retail establishments. Our ability to remain competitive depends on the underlying science and high quality of our products and our success in recruiting and retaining distributors. The pool of individuals interested in network marketing tends to be limited in each market and may be reduced to the extent other network marketing companies successfully recruit these individuals into their businesses. We believe that we offer a rewarding compensation plan with attractive financial benefits to compete for the time, attention and commitment of distributors. Our compensation plan is seamless, permitting international expansion.

Reliv NOW and Reliv Classic compete with numerous supplements that offer multi-vitamin benefits. The Reliv Ultrim-Plus and Cellebrate products compete with other products in the weight loss market, including nationally advertised products such as SlimFast. Many companies have entered, or have plans to enter, the sports drink market in which Innergize! and ProVantage compete, a market led by Gatorade. With Arthaffect, FibRestore, ReversAge, CardioSentials, SoySentials and the Reliv ReversAge Performance Enhancing Skin Care, we are in the specific wellness needs product and anti-aging markets, which are extremely competitive and led by the major food and skin care companies.

Under these options, Mr. McCain was granted the right to purchase up to 50,000 shares of our common stock and Messrs. Henry, Akin and St. John were each granted the right to purchase up to 10,000 shares of our common stock.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Stephen M. Merrick is our Senior Vice President and a director. Mr. Merrick previously was a principal of the law firm of Merrick & Associates, P.C. and has served as our General Counsel since our inception. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the aggregate amounts paid or incurred by us to Merrick & Associates, P.C. for services provided to us was $40,000.

During 2005, we repurchased an aggregate of 535,008 shares of our common stock held by certain of our officers and directors for an aggregate purchase price of $5,082,576.

The terms and conditions of each repurchase transaction were approved by our board of directors, excluding the vote of any interested director.

The following table provides information regarding the aggregate repurchase transactions between us and each director or executive officer that occurred during 2005.

PRINCIPAL AND SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

The following table sets forth certain information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of January 31, 2006, and as adjusted to reflect the sale of common stock in this offering (assuming no exercise of the over-allotment option granted by the selling stock holders to the underwriters), by:

	•	each of our executive officers;

	•	each of our directors;

The amounts and percentage of common stock beneficially owned are reported on the basis of regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, governing the determination of beneficial ownership of securities. Under the rules of the SEC, a person is deemed to be a “beneficial owner” of a security if that person has or shares “voting power,” which includes the power to vote or to direct the voting of such security, or “investment power,” which includes the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of such security.

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

General

The following is a summary of certain material U.S. federal income tax considerations related to the ownership and disposition of our common stock that may be relevant to you. This summary is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), existing and proposed Treasury regulations promulgated under the Code and administrative and judicial interpretations of the Code, all as of the date of this prospectus and all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. The Internal Revenue Service is referred to as “IRS” in this summary.

This summary discusses only the tax consequences to the initial investors who purchase our common stock pursuant to the initial offering and does not discuss the tax consequences applicable to subsequent purchasers of our common stock. This summary deals only with common stock held as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code. It does not discuss all of the tax considerations that may be relevant to holders of our common stock in light of their particular circumstances or to holders of common stock subject to special rules, such as financial institutions, regulated investment companies, persons subject to the alternative minimum tax, insurance companies, pension funds, tax exempt organizations, expatriates, persons treated as residents of more than one jurisdiction, partnerships or other entities treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes and persons holding our common stock through any such entities, dealers in securities or currencies, traders who elect to mark to market their securities, persons holding our common stock as part of a hedging, straddle, conversion, constructive sale or other integrated transaction, or persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar. We have not requested a ruling from the IRS on the tax consequences of owning or disposing of our common stock and the IRS could disagree with portions of this discussion. Persons considering the purchase of our common stock should consult with their own tax advisors about the application of the U.S. federal income tax laws to their particular situations as well as any tax considerations under other U.S. federal tax laws (such as estate and gift tax laws), or the laws of any state, local or foreign jurisdiction.

As used in this prospectus, the term “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of our common stock that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:


	•	a citizen or individual resident of the United States;

	•	a corporation, or other entity treated as a corporation, created in or under the laws of the United States or of any political subdivision thereof;

	•	an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source;

	•	a trust if (i) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (ii) the trust has in effect a valid election to be treated as a U.S. person; or

	•	a person whose ownership of our common stock is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States.

As used in this prospectus, the term “Non-U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of common stock that is an individual, corporation (including any entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes), trust or estate that is not a U.S. Holder.

If an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds shares of common stock, the tax treatment of its owners will generally depend on their particular status and upon the activity of the entity. If you are an owner of an interest in such an entity, we suggest you consult your own tax advisor.

Distributions to U.S. Holders

If distributions are paid on the shares of our common stock, these distributions generally will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings

and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles, and will constitute a tax-free return of capital that is applied against your tax basis in the common stock to the extent these distributions exceed those earnings and profits. Distributions in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits and your tax basis in the common stock will be treated as a gain from the sale or exchange of the common stock, the treatment of which is discussed below. Under current law, non-corporate U.S. Holders are generally subject to a maximum tax rate on dividends equal to 15%, which corresponds to the maximum tax rate for long-term capital gains.

Distributions to Non-U.S. Holders

Dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder that are not effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business of the Non-U.S. Holder generally will be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax at a 30% rate unless an applicable income tax treaty reduces or eliminates such tax and the Non-U.S. Holder claims the benefit of that treaty by timely providing a properly completed and duly executed IRS Form W-8BEN. Non-U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding their entitlement to benefits under a relevant income tax treaty.

Withholding generally is imposed on the gross amount of a distribution, regardless of whether we have sufficient earnings and profits to cause the distribution to be a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, we may elect to withhold on less than the gross amount of the distribution if we determine that the distribution is not paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits, based on our reasonable estimates.

A Non-U.S. Holder may generally obtain a refund of any excess income tax amounts withheld with respect to a distribution on our common stock by filing an appropriate claim for a refund together with the required information with the IRS.

Dividends that are effectively connected with a Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States and, if an income tax treaty applies, attributable to a Non-U.S. Holder’s U.S. permanent establishment, are exempt from U.S. federal withholding tax if the Non-U.S. Holder timely provides a properly completed and duly executed IRS Form W-8ECI and other applicable requirements are met. However, dividends exempt from U.S. federal withholding tax because they are “effectively connected” or attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment under an applicable income tax treaty are subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis at the regular graduated U.S. federal income tax rates. Any such effectively connected dividends received by a foreign corporation may, under certain circumstances, be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” at a 30% rate or a lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty.

Gain on Disposition of Common Stock by U.S. Holders

A U.S. Holder will recognize gain or loss on the sale or exchange of our common stock to the extent of the difference between the amount realized on such sale or exchange and the holder’s adjusted tax basis in such shares. Such gain or loss generally will constitute long-term capital gain or loss if the holder has held such shares for more than one year. Under current law, non-corporate U.S. Holders are generally subject to a maximum tax rate of 15% on long-term capital gain.

Gain on Disposition of Common Stock by Non-U.S. Holders

A Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax with respect to gain recognized on a sale or other disposition of our common stock unless one of the following applies:


	•	the gain is effectively connected with a Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States and, if an income tax treaty applies, the gain is attributable to a Non-U.S. Holder’s


		U.S. permanent establishment. In such case, the Non-U.S. Holder will, unless an applicable income tax treaty provides otherwise, generally be taxed on its net gain derived from the sale at regular graduated U.S. federal income tax rates, and in the case of a foreign corporation, may also be subject to the branch profits tax;

	•	a Non-U.S. Holder who is an individual holds our common stock as a capital asset, is present in the United States for 183 or more days in the taxable year of the sale or other disposition, and certain other conditions are met. In such a case, unless an applicable tax treaty provides otherwise, the Non-U.S. Holder will be subject to a flat 30% tax on the gain derived from the sale, which may be offset by certain U.S. capital losses; or

	•	we are or have been a “United States real property holding corporation” (a “USRPHC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time during the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of the sale or other disposition and the period a Non-U.S. Holder held our common stock (the shorter period hereinafter referred to as the “lookback period”); provided that if our common stock is regularly traded on an established securities market, this rule will generally not cause any gain to be taxable unless the Non-U.S. Holder owned more than 5% of our common stock at some time during the lookback period. We do not believe that we are a USRPHC and do not expect to become one in the future. However, we could become a USRPHC as a result of future changes in assets or operations.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding Tax

Under certain circumstances, U.S. Treasury regulations require information reporting and backup withholding on certain payments on common stock.

A U.S. Holder may be subject to information reporting and backup withholding (currently at a rate of 28%) with respect to dividends on, and the proceeds from the sale or redemption of, common stock, unless such holder (a) is an entity that is exempt from withholding, which includes, among others, corporations, and when required, demonstrates this fact, or (b) provides the payor with its correct taxpayer identification number, which, for an individual, is ordinarily his or her social security number, and otherwise complies with applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules.

Dividends on common stock paid to a Non-U.S. Holder will generally be exempt from backup withholding, provided the Non-U.S. Holder meets applicable certification requirements or otherwise establishes an exemption. The amount of dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder and any U.S. federal withholding tax deducted from those dividends will be reported annually to the IRS and the Non-U.S. Holder.

Under Treasury regulations, payments on the sale of our common stock effected through a foreign office of a broker to its customer generally are not subject to information reporting or backup withholding. However, if the broker is a U.S. person, a controlled foreign corporation, a foreign person 50% or more of whose gross income is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business for a specified three-year period, a foreign partnership with significant U.S. ownership, or a U.S. branch of a foreign bank or insurance company, then information reporting (but not backup withholding) will be required, unless the broker has in its records documentary evidence that the beneficial owner of the payment is not a U.S. person or is otherwise entitled to an exemption, and other applicable certification requirements are met. Information reporting and backup withholding generally will apply to sale payments effected at a U.S. office of any U.S. or foreign broker, unless the broker has in its records documentary evidence that the beneficial owner of the payment is not a U.S. person or is otherwise entitled to an exemption, and other applicable certification requirements are met.

Backup withholding does not represent an additional income tax. Any amounts withheld from a payment to a holder under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a credit against the holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle the holder to a refund, provided that the required information or returns are timely furnished by the holder to the IRS.

UNDERWRITING

Canaccord Adams Inc., Avondale Partners, LLC and The Seidler Companies Incorporated are acting as representatives of the underwriters named below. Subject to the terms and conditions described in an underwriting agreement among us, the selling stockholders and the underwriters, the selling stockholders have agreed to sell to the underwriters, and the underwriters severally have agreed to purchase from the selling stockholders, the number of shares listed opposite their names below.


	Number of
Underwriter	Shares

Canaccord Adams Inc.		800,000
Avondale Partners, LLC		600,000
The Seidler Companies Incorporated		600,000

Total		2,000,000

The underwriters have agreed to purchase all of the shares sold under the underwriting agreement if any of these shares are purchased. If an underwriter defaults, the underwriting agreement provides that the purchase commitments of the nondefaulting underwriters may be increased or the underwriting agreement may be terminated.

Some of the selling stockholders have granted to the underwriters an option to purchase up to 300,000 additional shares of common stock at the public offering price less the underwriting discount. The underwriters may exercise this option for 30 days from the date of this prospectus solely for the purpose of covering any over-allotments, if any, made in connection with the offering of the shares of common stock offered by this prospectus. If the underwriters exercise this option, each underwriter will be obligated, subject to conditions contained in the underwriting agreement, to purchase a number of additional shares proportionate to that underwriter’s initial amount reflected in the above table.

We and the selling stockholders have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and to contribute to payments that the underwriters may be required to make for certain liabilities.

The underwriters are offering the shares, subject to prior sale by us to the underwriters, which sale is subject to approval of legal matters by the underwriters’ counsel, including the validity of the shares, and other conditions contained in the underwriting agreement, such as the receipt by the underwriters of officers’ certificates and legal opinions. The underwriters reserve the right to withdraw, cancel or modify offers to the public and to reject orders in whole or in part.

The offering of the shares may concurrently be made in one or more of the Canadian provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec. This prospectus is not, and under no circumstances is to be construed as, an advertisement or a public offering of shares in Canada or any province or territory thereof. Any offer or sale of the shares in Canada will be made only under an exemption from the requirements to file a prospectus with the relevant Canadian securities regulators and only by a dealer properly registered under applicable Canadian securities laws or, alternatively, pursuant to an exemption from the dealer registration requirement in the relevant province or territory of Canada in which such offer or sale is made.

The underwriters have advised us and the selling stockholders that they propose to offer the shares of common stock directly to the public at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, and to dealers at the public offering price less a selling concession not in excess of $0.405 per share. The underwriters also may allow, and the dealers may reallow, a concession not in excess of $0.10 per share to brokers and dealers. After the offering, the underwriters may change the offering price and other selling terms.

The following table shows the public offering price, underwriting discount and proceeds before expenses to the selling stockholders. The information assumes either no exercise or full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment options.


			Without		With
			Over-		Over-
	Per		Allotment		Allotment
	Share		Exercise		Exercise

Public offering price	$	11.25	$	22,500,000	$	25,875,000
Underwriting discount paid by us		0.675		810,000		810,000
Proceeds, before expenses, to us		10.575		12,690,000		12,690,000
Proceeds, before expenses, to the selling stockholders		10.575		8,460,000		11,632,500

The expenses of the offering, not including the underwriting discount, are estimated at $700,000 and are payable by us. Of the $700,000 estimated expenses, we expect $300,000 will be expenses incurred by us, including fees and expenses for our independent registered public accountants and our counsel, printing expenses and our registration fees with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the National Association of Securities Dealers. We will also pay estimated maximum expenses of $400,000 to the underwriters, including a portion of the fees and expenses of the underwriters’ counsel and any additional expenses incurred by the underwriters in excess of $250,000. We expect these expenses will consist of $100,000 of expenses incurred by the underwriters in connection with the road show and $300,000 for fees and expenses of the underwriters’ counsel. We also paid $7,688 to The Seidler Companies Incorporated since August 25, 2005. This amount reflects a broker’s commission of $0.06 per share paid to Seidler for each share we repurchased under our two Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, each of which has terminated.

We, each of our executive officers and directors and the selling stockholders have agreed that, subject to certain exceptions, during the period ending 90 days after the date of this prospectus, which we refer to as the restricted period, neither we nor our executive officers and directors will, without the prior consent of Canaccord Adams Inc., directly or indirectly offer, sell or otherwise dispose of any shares of common stock or any securities that may be converted into or exchanged or exercisable for any such shares of common stock or enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another person, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the common stock. The 90-day restricted period will be extended if (1) during the 17 calendar days before the last day of the restricted period, we issue an earnings release or material news or a material event relating to us occurs, or (2) prior to the expiration of the restricted period, we announce that we will release earnings results during the 16-day period after the end of the restricted period.

In connection with the offering, the underwriters may purchase and sell the common stock in the open market. These transactions may include over-allotment and stabilizing transactions, passive market making and purchases to cover syndicate short positions created in connection with the offering.

The underwriters also may impose a penalty bid, whereby the underwriters may reclaim selling concessions allowed to syndicate members or other broker-dealers in respect of the common stock sold in the offering for their account if the underwriters repurchase the shares in stabilizing or covering transactions. These activities may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the common stock, which may be higher than the price that might otherwise prevail in the open market.

Neither we nor any of the underwriters makes any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of the common shares. In addition, neither we nor any of the underwriters makes any representation that the representatives or the lead managers will engage in these transactions or that these transactions, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.

Some of the underwriters and their affiliates have engaged in, and may in the future engage in, investment banking and other commercial dealings in the ordinary course of business with us and the selling stockholders. They have received customary fees and commissions for these transactions.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

Reliv’ International, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Reliv’ International, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule. These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Reliv’ International, Inc. and Subsidiaries at December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the consolidated results of their income and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all respects, the information set forth therein.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of Reliv’ International, Inc. and Subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated March 10, 2006, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Reliv’ International, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2005


1.	Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Business

Reliv’ International, Inc. (the Company) produces a proprietary line of nutritional supplements addressing basic nutrition, specific wellness needs, weight management, and sports nutrition. These products are sold by subsidiaries of the Company to a sales force of independent distributors and licensees of the Company that sell products directly to consumers. The Company and its subsidiaries sell products to distributors throughout the United States and in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Mexico, the United Kingdom/ Ireland, Germany, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Singapore.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its foreign and domestic subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Product cost includes raw materials, labor, and overhead costs and is accounted for using the first-in, first-out basis. On a periodic basis, the Company reviews its inventory levels, as compared to future demand requirements and the shelf life of the various products. Based on this review, the Company records inventory write-downs when necessary.

Property, Plant, and Equipment

Property, plant, and equipment are stated on the cost basis. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line or an accelerated method over the useful life of the related assets, including assets recorded under capital leases. Generally, computer equipment and software are depreciated over 5 years, office equipment and machinery over 7 years, and real property over 39 years.

Foreign Currency Translation

All balance sheet accounts have been translated using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Statements of income amounts have been translated using the average exchange rate for the year. The gains and losses resulting from the changes in exchange rates from year to year have been reported in other comprehensive loss. The foreign currency translation adjustment is the only component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Foreign currency translation adjustments exclude income tax expense (benefit) given that the Company’s investments in non-U.S. subsidiaries are deemed to be reinvested for an indefinite period of time. The transaction losses/(gains) were $268,436, ($99,628), and ($63,273) for 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

The Company receives payment by credit card, personal check, or guaranteed funds for orders from independent distributors and makes related commission payments in the following month. The net sales price is the suggested retail price less the distributor discount of 20 percent to 40 percent of such suggested retail price. Sales revenue and commission expenses are recorded when the merchandise is shipped, as this is the point title and risk of loss pass. In accordance with EITF 01-09, the Company presents distributor

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


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

Revenue Recognition (continued)

royalty and commission expense as an operating expense, rather than a reduction to net sales, as these payments are not made to the purchasing distributor.

Actual and estimated returns are classified as a reduction of net sales. The Company estimates and accrues a reserve for product returns based on the Company’s return policy and historical experience. The Company records shipping and handling revenue as a component of sales and records shipping and handling costs as a component of cost of products sold.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes is computed using the liability method. The primary differences between financial statement and taxable income result from financial statement accruals and reserves and differences between depreciation for book and tax purposes.

Basic and Diluted Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per common share are computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share are computed using the weighted average number of common shares and potential dilutive common shares that were outstanding during the period. Potential dilutive common shares consist of outstanding stock options, outstanding stock warrants, and convertible preferred stock. See Note 7 for additional information regarding earnings per share.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has a stock option plan for employees and eligible directors allowing for incentive and non-qualified stock options, which are described more fully in Note 6. Effective January 1, 2003, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure,” which allows the Company to continue to account for stock option plans under the intrinsic value method in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related Interpretations. Accordingly, no stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted under our current or prior plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.

Pursuant to the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” as amended by SFAS No. 148, pro forma net income and earnings per share are presented in the

The Company accounts for options granted to non-employees and warrants granted to distributors under the fair value approach required by EITF 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods, or Services.”

The compensation expense associated with the fair value of the options calculated for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, is not necessarily representative of the potential effects on reported net income in future years. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of the grant by use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Advertising

Costs of sales aids and promotional materials are capitalized as inventories. All other advertising and promotional costs are expensed when incurred. The Company recorded $52,000, $64,000, and $35,000 of advertising expense in 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses which are charged to selling, general, and administrative expenses as incurred were $558,000, $525,000, and $493,000 in 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively.

Cash Equivalents

The Company’s policy is to consider demand deposits and short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased as cash equivalents.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Share-Based Payments

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,” which is a revision of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation,” and supersedes APB No. 25. Among other items, SFAS No. 123(R) eliminates the use of APB No. 25 and the intrinsic value method of accounting and requires companies to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments, based on the grant date fair value of those awards, in the financial statements.

The effective date of SFAS No. 123(R) for the company is the first annual reporting period beginning after June 15, 2005. SFAS No. 123(R) permits companies to adopt its requirements using either a “modified prospective” method or a “modified retrospective” method. Under the “modified prospective” method, compensation cost is recognized in the financial statements beginning with the effective date, based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123(R) for all share-based payments granted after that date and based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123 for all unvested awards granted prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 123(R).

The Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) beginning on January 1, 2006 using the modified prospective method. This change in accounting is not expected to materially impact our financial position. However, because we currently account for share-based payments to our employees using the intrinsic value method, our results of operations have not included the recognition of compensation expense for the issuance of stock option awards. Had we applied the fair-value criteria established by SFAS No. 123(R) to previous stock option grants, the impact to our results of operations would have approximated the impact of applying SFAS No. 123, which was a reduction to net income of approximately $1,645,000 in 2005, $52,000 in 2004, and $195,000 in 2003. The impact of applying SFAS No. 123 to previous stock option grants is further summarized above. The Company expects the recognition of compensation expense for stock options previously issued, unvested and outstanding at December 31, 2005 to reduce fiscal year 2006 net earnings by approximately $63,000.

SFAS No. 123(R) also requires the benefits associated with the tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow as required under current literature. This requirement will reduce net operating cash flows and increase net financing

cash flows in periods after the effective date. These future amounts cannot be estimated, because they depend on, among other things, when employees exercise stock options.

Inventory Costs

In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs,” which clarifies that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage) should be recognized as current-period charges and requires the allocation of fixed production overheads to inventory based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The provisions of SFAS No. 151 apply prospectively and are effective for inventory costs incurred after January 1, 2006. While the Company believes that SFAS No. 151 will not have a material effect on its consolidated financial position and results of operations, the impact of adopting these new rules is dependent on events that could occur in future periods, and cannot be determined until the event occurs in future periods.

Income Taxes

On December 21, 2004, the FASB issued two FSP’s regarding the accounting implications of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004. FSP No. 109-1, “Application of FASB Statement No. 109 ’Accounting for Income Taxes’ to the Tax Deduction on Qualified Production Activities Provided by the American Job Creation Act of 2004” is effective for fiscal year 2005 and is described in Note 11. FSP No. 109-2, “Accounting and Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign Provision within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004” became effective in fiscal year 2004 and is also described in Note 11.

In June 2005, the Company entered into a new $15 million revolving line of credit facility with the Company’s primary lender. This new facility replaced the Company’s previous operating line of credit that had a maximum borrowing limit of $1 million. The new facility expires in April 2007, and any advances accrue interest at a variable interest rate based on LIBOR. The new facility includes covenants to maintain total stockholders’ equity of not less than $10.5 million, and that the borrowings under the facility shall not exceed EBITDA by a ratio of 3.5:1. A commitment fee in an amount equal to 0.25% per year is payable quarterly on the average daily-unused portion of the revolver. At December 31, 2005, the Company had not utilized any of the new revolving line of credit facility and was in compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity covenant.

6.	Stockholders’ Equity


	*Stock Split*

The Board of Directors declared a five-for-four stock split on September 4, 2003. The dividends were paid on November 14, 2003, to stockholders of record on October 29, 2003. Average shares outstanding, all per share amounts, and stock option and warrant data included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes are based on the increased number of shares as restated for the stock split.


	*Stock Options*

The Company sponsors a stock option plan (the “2003 Plan”) allowing for incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options to be granted to employees and eligible directors. The plan has been approved by the stockholders of the Company. The 2003 Plan provides that 1,000,000 shares may be issued under the plan at an option price not less than the fair market value of the stock at the time the option is granted. The 2003 Plan expires on March 20, 2013. The options vest pursuant to the schedule set forth for the plan. In 2005, the Company issued grants of 543,000 shares under the 2003 Plan. The 2005 option grants were fully vested in the year of grant. As of December 31, 2005, 457,000 shares remain available for grant under the 2003 Plan.

The Company grants stock options for a fixed number of shares to directors and employees with an exercise price equal to the fair value of the shares at the time of the grant. Accordingly, the Company has not recognized compensation expense for its stock option grants.

For the purposes of the pro forma disclosures in Note 1, the estimated fair value of the options is recognized as compensation expense over the options’ vesting period. The fair value of the options granted in 2005 were estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: risk-free interest rates ranging from 4.02% to 4.31%; dividend yield ranging from 0.55% to 0.80%; volatility factor of the expected price of the Company’s stock ranging from 0.448 to 0.516; and a weighted average expected life of 7.0 years. The weighted average fair value of options granted during 2005 was $4.19 per share.

There were no options granted during the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002. As of December 31, 2005, there exist unexercised stock options from grants made in 2001 under a prior stock option plan. The fair value of options granted in 2001 were estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: risk-free interest rates ranging from 3.07% to 4.78%; dividend yield of zero; volatility factor of the expected price of the Company’s stock of 0.729; and a weighted average expected life of 4.51 years. The weighted average fair value of options granted during 2001 was $0.42 per share.

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility.

These shares tendered as payment were valued at the fair market price on the date of exercise.


	*Distributor Stock Purchase Plan*

In November 1998, the Company established a Distributor Stock Purchase Plan. The plan allows distributors who have reached the “Ambassador” status the opportunity to allocate up to 10% of their monthly compensation into the plan to be used to purchase the Company’s common stock at the current market value. The plan also states that at the end of each year, the Company will grant warrants to purchase additional shares of the Company’s common stock based on the number of shares purchased by the distributors under the plan during the year. The warrant exercise price will equal the market price for the Company’s common stock at the date of issuance. The warrants issued shall be in the amount of 25% of the total shares purchased under the plan during the year. This plan commenced in January 1999, and a total of 25,303, 22,959 and 27,279 warrants were issued during the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively. The warrants are fully vested upon grant. The weighted average fair values of warrants granted during 2005, 2004, and 2003 were $4.04, $2.94 and $2.33 per share, respectively.

Distributor Stock Purchase Plan

The Company records expense under the fair value method of SFAS No. 123 for warrants granted to distributors. The adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) is not expected to significantly impact the accounting treatment of warrants granted under the plan. Total expense recorded for these warrants was $66,674, $77,367, and $90,068 in 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively. The fair value of the warrants was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

preferred stock. Each of the preferred stockholders purchased 50,000 shares of Preferred Stock for $500,000 ($10.00 per share).

The preferred stockholders were entitled to receive dividends at an annual rate of 6% of the shares’ purchase price. These dividends accrued on a daily basis and were payable quarterly when declared by the Company’s Board of Directors. All dividends on shares of Preferred Stock were cumulative.

In August 2003, the Company redeemed 17,500 shares from each executive officer/director for a total redemption of 52,500 shares at a value of $525,000. In February 2004, the Company redeemed an additional 15,000 shares from each executive officer/director for a total redemption of 45,000 shares at a value of $450,000. In April 2004, the Company redeemed the remaining 17,500 shares from each officer/director for a total redemption of 52,500 shares at a value of $525,000.

9.	Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying values and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments are approximately as follows:


	2005				2004

	Carrying		Fair		Carrying		Fair
	Amount		Value		Amount		Value

Cash and cash equivalents	$	5,654,000	$	5,654,000	$	10,152,000	$	10,152,000
Long-term debt, including current maturities		3,127,000		3,077,000		3,684,000		3,686,000

The carrying amount of cash equivalents approximates fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. The fair value of long-term debt and capital lease obligations is estimated based on the current rates offered to the Company for debt of the same remaining maturities.


10.	Derivative Financial Instruments

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

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

At December 31, 2005, the Company held forward exchange contracts totaling $978,000 with maturities through December 2006. All such contracts were denominated in Canadian dollars. The aggregate accrued loss on these contracts was $59,000 and $101,000 as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The increase (decrease) in the aggregate accrued loss on these contracts was ($42,000), $55,000, and 46,000 for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively.

11.	Income Taxes (continued)

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

The components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities, and the related tax effects of each temporary difference at December 31, 2005 and 2004, are as follows:


		2005			2004

Deferred tax assets:
	Product refund reserve	$	145,000		$	99,000
	Inventory obsolescence reserve		60,000			2,000

Deferred tax liabilities:
	Depreciation		469,000			641,000
	Inventories		—			154,000

Net deferred tax assets (liabilities)		$	363,430		$	(2,570	)

The Company has a deferred tax asset of $1,813,000, as of December 31, 2005, and $1,328,000 as of December 31, 2004, relating to foreign net operating loss carryforwards. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance to the extent that it is more likely than not that some portion of this asset will not be realized before it expires beginning in 2006.

On October 22, 2004, the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the “Act”) was signed into law. In December 2004, the FASB issued Staff Position No. 109-1, “Application of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, to the Tax Deduction on Qualified Production Activities Provided by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004,” (“FSP No. 109-1”). FSP No. 109-1 provides accounting guidance for companies that will be eligible for a tax deduction resulting from “qualified production activities income” as defined in the Act. For 2005, the application of FSP No. 109-1 provided a tax benefit of approximately $73,000 and reduced the company’s effective tax rate approximately 0.6%.

Another provision of the Act provides for a special one-time tax deduction of 85% of certain repatriated foreign earnings. In December 2004, the FASB issued Staff Position No. 109-2, “Accounting and Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004,” (“FSP No. 109-2”). The Company did not take advantage of this special provision. Through

11.	Income Taxes (continued)

December 31, 2005, the Company has not recorded a provision for income taxes on the earnings of its foreign subsidiaries because such earnings are intended to be permanently reinvested outside the U.S. The cumulative amount of unremitted earnings on which the Company has not recognized United States income tax was $238,000 at December 31, 2005.


12.	License Agreement

The Company has a license agreement with the individual who developed several of the Company’s products. This agreement provides the Company with the exclusive worldwide license to manufacture and sell all products created by the licensor and requires monthly royalty payments of 5% of net sales, with a minimum payment of $10,000 and a maximum payment of $22,000. The royalty payments terminated upon the death of the licensor, which occurred in February 2003. However, under the terms of the license agreement, the Company has the right to continue to use the name and likeness of the licensor in connection with marketing the related products for an annual fee of $10,000 for the duration of the agreement. As a result, the amounts of the expense in the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003, were $10,000, $10,000, and $54,000, respectively. The license agreement expired in April 2005.


13.	Employee Benefit Plans

The Company sponsors a 401(k) employee savings plan which covers substantially all employees. Employees can contribute up to 15% of their gross income to the plan, and the Company matches 75% of the employee’s contribution. Company contributions under the 401(k) plan totaled $384,000, $337,000, and $288,000 in 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively.


14.	Incentive Compensation Plans

In July 2001, the Board of Directors approved an incentive compensation plan effective for fiscal years beginning with 2001. Under the plan, the Company established a bonus pool payable on a semi-annual basis equal to 25% of the net income of the Company. Bonuses are payable on all profits, but only if the net income for each six-month period exceeds $250,000. The bonus pool is allocated to executives according to a specified formula, with a portion allocated to a middle management group determined by the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors. The Company expensed a total of $2,141,500, $1,580,000, and $1,309,500 to the participants of the bonus pool for 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively.

The Company sponsors a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP) to allow certain executives to defer a portion of their annual salary and bonus into a grantor trust. A grantor trust was established to hold the assets of the SERP. The Company funds the grantor trust by paying the amount deferred by the participant into the trust at the time of deferral. Investment earnings and losses accrue to the benefit or detriment of the participants. The SERP also provides for a discretionary matching contribution by the Company not to exceed 100% of the participant’s annual contribution. In 2005, 2004, and 2003, the Company did not provide a match. The participants fully vest in the deferred compensation three years from the date they enter the SERP. The participants are not eligible to receive distribution under the SERP until retirement, death, or disability of the participant.

15.	Related Party Transactions

An officer/director of the Company is a principal in a law firm which provides legal services to the Company. During the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003, the Company incurred consulting fees to the officer/director and legal fees to his firm totaling approximately $429,000, $410,000, and $372,000, respectively.

In January 2004, the Company purchased a total of 116,564 shares of the Company’s common stock from three officer/directors and one director. The total cost of the purchases was $607,178, for a weighted average purchase price of $5.21 per share. In April 2004, the Company purchased a total of 75,000 shares of the Company’s common stock from two officer/directors. The total cost of the purchases was $686,802, for a weighted average purchase price of $9.16 per share. The price per share was based on a discount from the market price per share at the time of purchase in order to approximate the dilutive impact of their shares on the open market.

In March 2005, the Company entered into a stock redemption agreement with an officer/director and his spouse (collectively “Seller”). Under the stock redemption agreement, the Company issued promissory notes (“Notes”) totaling $4,050,000 to the Seller in exchange for 450,000 shares of the Company’s common stock ($9.00 per share) owned by the Seller. Subsequently, in 2005, the Company made principal payments on the Notes totaling $950,000 resulting in a December 31, 2005 outstanding balance due on the Notes of $3,100,000. Additional principal payments of $900,000 are each due on March 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively, with a final principal payment of $1,300,000 due on January 15, 2008. Interest, at 4% per annum, accrues on the outstanding balance of the Notes and is payable quarterly.

In March 2005 and May 2005, the Company purchased a total of 574,201 shares of the Company’s common stock from three officer/directors and one former officer. The total cost of the purchases was $5,435,313, for a weighted average purchase price of $9.47 per share. The price per share was based on a discount from the market price per share at the time of purchase in order to approximate the dilutive impact of their shares on the open market.


16.	Subsequent Event

On February 21, 2006, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to an underwritten public offering of 2,000,000 shares of its common stock. The Company proposes to issue 1,200,000 shares of its common stock and the remaining 800,000 shares are proposed to be offered by selling stockholders. In connection with the offering, some of the selling stockholders expect to grant the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to 300,000 additional shares of Company stock to cover over-allotments, if any.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for the repayment of debt and for general corporate purposes, including working capital, continued domestic and international growth, and for possible product acquisitions. The Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of common stock by the selling stockholders.
