NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2003, the Financial Account Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments
with Accounting Standards No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments
with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity" (hereinafter "SFAS No.
150"). SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for classifying and measuring certain
financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity and
requires that those instruments be classified as liabilities in statements of
financial position. Previously, many of those instruments were classified as
equity. SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or
modified after May 31, 2003 and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the
first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company has not yet
determined the impact of the adoption of the statement.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash includes deposits held in a reserve account in the amount of
$210,196 and $223,682 at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.
Such deposits are required by the bank as protection against unfunded charge
backs and returns of credit card transactions.
Going Concern
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company had negative
working capital of approximately $1,300,000 and an accumulated deficit incurred
through March 31, 2004. The Company is currently putting technology in place
which will, if successful, mitigate these factors which raise substantial doubt
about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements
do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification
of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might
be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.
Management has established plans designed to increase the sales of the Company's products, and decrease debt. The Company plans on continuing to reduce expenses, and with small gains in any combination of network sales, direct sales, international sales, and warehouse sales, believe that they will eventually be able to reverse the present deficit. Management intends to seek additional capital from new equity securities offerings that will provide funds needed to increase liquidity, fund internal growth and fully implement its business plan. Management plans include negotiations to convert significant portions of existing debt into equity.
The timing and amount of capital requirements will depend on a number of factors, including demand for products and services and the availability of opportunities for international expansion through affiliations and other business relationships.

In addition, the purchasers of the shares received warrants to purchase one additional share of common stock for each share purchased, exercisable at $0.20 and $0.30 per share, respectively, for a period of two years.
NOTE 6 COMMON STOCK WARRANTS
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (hereinafter "SFAS No. 123"), defines a fair value-based method of accounting for stock options and other equity instruments. The Company has adopted this method, which measures compensation costs based on the estimated fair value of the award and recognizes that cost over the service period.
In accordance with SFAS No. 123, the fair value of stock options and warrants granted are estimated using the Black-Scholes Option Price Calculation. The following assumptions were made to value the warrants for the quarter ended March 31, 2004: risk-free interest rate of 4%, volatility of 110% and terms of two years.

In addition, the purchasers of the shares received warrants to purchase one additional share of common stock for each share purchased, exercisable at $0.20 and $0.30 per share, respectively, for a period of two years. As part of these transactions the fair value of the warrants was determined to be $70,844.
NOTE 7 COMMITMENTS
Purchase Agreement
On June 30, 2002, the Company entered into a distribution and license agreement
with a company in which one of the Company's directors has an ownership interest.
The agreement gives the Company the exclusive right to market, sell and distribute
certain products for a five-year renewable term. Management estimates that 90%
of the Company's sale volume results from products supplied under this licensing
agreement.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2004, the Company negotiated the lowering of the purchasing threshold and pursuant to the agreement, the Company is required to purchase the following amounts of product during the term of the agreement:
June 1, 2003 to May 31, 2004 | $1,530,000 | ||
June 1, 2004 to May 31, 2005 | $3,825,000 | ||
For each year thereafter during the term of this agreement, the minimum amount of $5,355,000. |
In the event that the Company is unavailable to meet the minimum purchase requirements of the licensing agreement or the terms requiring it to pay 15% of the difference between the minimum purchase amount referred to above and actual purchases for that year in which there is a shortfall, then the licensor has various remedies available to it including, renegotiating the agreement, removing exclusivity rights, or terminating the agreement.
As of the date of these financial statements, the licensor has not made any additional demands of the Company.

INDUSTRIES, INC. CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2004 |
On June 2, 2004, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Cornell Capital Partners, LP ("the Investor") in which the Company received $250,000 in funding in exchange for convertible securities guaranteed by the assets of the Company. The convertible debt instrument underlying this loan agreement will automatically convert into common stock by the second anniversary date of issuance. Failure to issue unrestricted, freely tradable common stock to the Investor upon conversion after the registration statement filed pursuant to this transaction has been declared effective would be considered an event of default, thereby entitling the Investor to accelerate full repayment of the convertible securities then outstanding. Under the agreement, the Company is required to keep available common stock duly authorized for issuance in satisfaction of the convertible.
On June 3, 2004, 300,000 options were exercised at $0.20 per share at the aggregate exercise price of $60,000. The options were paid in the form of forgone debt owed to the legal firm by the Company.

During the period ended June 30, 2004, the Company issued 1,300,000 shares of its common stock as an incentive.
During the period ending June 30, 2004, the Company's board of directors approved the Stock Compensation Program to allow up to 25,000,000 shares of stock to be issued under the program. Subsequent to the board of directors approval, this plan was approved by the shareholders. This plan enables the Company to grant stock options to directors, officers, employees and eligible consultants of the Company
NOTE 12 CORRECTION OF AN ERROR

On March 5, 2004, the Company entered into an agreement with an independent contractor to provide services in exchange for 100,000 common shares. Management determined that this transaction had not been recorded and had the effect of understating the net loss for the period by $28,000 and understatement of common stock by $28 and additional paid in capital by $27,972.
Management determined that 176,534 shares were no longer allocated to shares held by minority interest of Essentially Yours Industries, Inc. This transaction understated common shares outstanding by 176,534 shares and the value of the minority interest was overstated by $33,303. In addition, it changed the allocation of losses to the minority interest by an increase in loss of $3,127 for the change in allocation and the appropriate ownership effects of the subsidiary.
These corrections and restatements had the cumulative effect of increasing the net loss and accumulated deficit by $94,874, and losses per share by less than $0.01 for the three months ending March 31, 2004.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS
The information in this discussion contains 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. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including statements regarding EYI Industries, Inc.'s (the "Company") capital needs, business strategy and expectations. Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical facts may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may", "should", "expect", "plan", "intend", "anticipate", "believe", "estimate", "predict", "potential" or "continue", the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology. Actual events or results may differ materially. In evaluating these statements, you should consider various factors, including the risks outlined in the Risk Factors section below, and, from time to time, in other reports the Company files with the SEC. These factors may cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statement. The Company disclaims any obligation to publicly update these statements, or disclose any difference between its actual results and those reflected in these statements. The information constitutes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
As used in this quarterly report, the terms "we", "us", "our", and "our company" mean EYI Industries, Inc. unless otherwise indicated. All dollar amounts in this quarterly report are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated.
We are in the business of selling, marketing, and distributing a product line consisting of approximately 35 nutritional products in two categories, dietary supplements and personal care products. Our most successful product is Calorad, a liquid collagen-based dietary supplement presently available on the market. These products are marketed through a network marketing program in which IBAs (Independent Business Associates) purchase products for resale to retail customers as well as for their own personal use. We have a list of over 400,000 IBAs, of which approximately 14,000 we consider "active". An "active" IBA is one who purchased our products within the preceding 12 months. Over 6,000 of these IBAs are "very active", and are on our automatic Auto-ship Program.
The IBAs in our network are encouraged to recruit interested people to become new distributors of our products. New IBAs are placed beneath the recruiting IBA in the "network" and are referred to as being in that IBA's "down-line" organization. Our marketing plan is designed to provide incentives for IBAs to build, maintain and motivate an organization of recruited distributors in their down-line organization to maximize their earning potential. IBAs generate income by purchasing our products at wholesale prices and reselling them at retail prices. IBAs also earn commissions on product purchases generated by their down-line organization.
On an ongoing basis we review our product line for duplication and sales trends and make adjustments accordingly. As of March 31, 2004, our product line consisted of: (i) 23 dietary supplement products; and (ii) 12 personal care products consisting primarily of cosmetic and skin care products. Our products are primarily manufactured by Nutri-Diem, Inc., a related party, and sold by us under a license and distribution agreement with Nutri-Diem. Certain of our own products are manufactured for us by third party manufacturers pursuant to formulations developed for us. Our products are sold to our IBAs located in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Canada.
We believe that our network marketing system is suited to marketing dietary supplement and personal care products, because sales of such products are strengthened by ongoing personal contact between IBAs and their customers. Our network marketing system appeals to a broad cross-section of people, particularly those looking to supplement family income or who are seeking part-time work. IBAs are given the opportunity, through our sponsored events and training sessions, to network with other distributors, develop selling skills and establish personal goals. We supplement monetary incentives with other forms of recognition, in order to motivate IBAs.

Recent Corporate Developments
4
Our plan of operations over the next twelve months is to undertake the following:
1. | We plan to expand the marketing of our Calorad product
over the next twelve months. We feel that our main product Calorad, a
21 year old market proven product, is positioned to expand into the significant
weight loss industry. We see market conditions in the US and Canada amenable
to a significant growth of Calorad sales. |
|
2. | We have plans to turn Halo, our wholly-owned warehouse
facility into a profitable operation. All sales increases translate into
more shipping for Halo. We have some contracts in negotiation which may
increase sales at Halo. There is no assurance that the contracts we enter
into will increase our sales at Halo or that Halo will become a profitable
operation. |
|
3. | We intend to upgrade our computer systems over the
next twelve months. These upgrades are intended to result in improved
operational efficiency and reduced overhead costs. |
|
4. | We anticipate spending approximately $314,455 in
administrative expenses over the next twelve months in maintaining our
head office and our warehouse and distribution centers in Louisville,
Kentucky and Surrey, British Columbia, Canada. |
We anticipate that we will incur the following general operating costs over the next twelve months in pursuing our stated plan of operations:
EXPENSE | AMOUNT |
Consulting Fees | $656,400 |
Legal and Professional Fees | $200,000 |
Finance and Administration | $314,455 |
Customer Service | $856,446 |
Sales and Marketing | $25,000 |
Telecommunications | $681,600 |
Wages and Benefits | $1,481,146 |
Warehouse Expense | $256,000 |
TOTAL | $4,471,047 |
Our cash on hand as of March 31, 2004 was $42,640. Our total expenditures over the next twelve months, excluding costs of sales, are anticipated to be $4,471,047. Accordingly, we will require financing to fund our operations for the next twelve months. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, our business plan will be significantly delayed until a point in time when we would be able to secure the necessary financing. We anticipate that any financing will be an equity financing. However, there is no assurance that we will be able to secure the necessary financing.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net Sales
Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2004 was $1,529,195, compared net sales of $3,656,657 during the comparative period in 2003. This represents a decline of $2,127,462 or 58%. The decrease in our net sales was primarily the result of adjustments to our sales commission plan for our independent business associates ("IBAs") implemented during our first fiscal quarter in 2004 that were intended to cap the sales commission expenses.
For the three months ended March 31, 2004, the cost of goods sold was $832,095 which represents 61%. For the three months ended March 31, 2003, the cost of goods sold was $2,736,201 which represents 75%. The decline in cost of goods sold is attributed to the success of our new compensation plan for our IBAs.
Our operating expenses decreased to $1,103,878 during the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to operating expenses of $1,406,298 as at March 31, 2003. The reduction of our operating expenses was primarily due to the streamlining of our operations. Our operating expenses consist principally of salaries and other personnel costs for our administrative staff, rent, legal and professional fees, consulting fees, sales and marketing expenses and warehouse expenses.
Compensation Expense
For the three months ended March 31, 2004, compensation expense was $252,066 and for the three months ended March 31, 2003, compensation expense was $253,520.
Net Loss
Our net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2004 decreased to $422,207 from a net loss of $520,241 for the three months ended March 31, 2003, representing a decrease of $98,034 or 19%. The decrease in our net loss was primarily as a result of the streamlining of our operations and a reduction in our overhead expenses.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Cash and Working Capital
We had cash of $42,640 as at March 31, 2004, compared with cash of $52,075 as at December 31, 2003. Our working capital deficit increased to $1,352,380 as at March 31, 2004, compared to a working capital deficit of $1,265,833 as at December 31, 2003.
Liabilities
The largest component of our working capital deficit are accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the amount of $1,778,691 as at March 31, 2004 including amounts payable to related parties, compared to $1,616,118 as at December 31, 2003.
Cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2004 was $204,497, compared to $315,585 for the three months ended March 31, 2003. The decrease in cash used in operating activities resulted from our streamlining and cost reduction activities during 2004.
6
We have continued to finance our business primarily through private placement sales of our common stock, exercises of stock options, short term loans, conversion of accrued liabilities into stock and through increases in our accrued liabilities and accounts payable. Cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2004 was $181,578, compared to $416,316 for the three months ended March 31, 2003.
Financing activities included the issuance of common stock for aggregate proceeds of $219,242 net of private placement costs and warrants, during the three months ended March 31, 2004 in private placement transactions. These private placement transactions included the issue of an aggregate of 1,466,455 shares of our common stock and associated share purchase warrants, representing an average price of $0.17 per share.
Financing Requirements
We currently have minimal cash and working capital resources. We do not have adequate financial resources in order to enable us to continue our business operations without additional financing. Our current sources of working capital are sufficient to satisfy our anticipated working capital needs for approximately the next twenty two weeks. We may not be able to obtain additional working capital on acceptable terms, or at all. Accordingly, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
We will require additional financing if we are to continue as a going concern and to finance our business operations. We anticipate that any additional financing would be through the sales of our common or preferred stock or placement of convertible debt. We are presently in the process of negotiating private placements of our securities to raise working capital to finance our operations. However, we do not have any arrangements in place for the sale of any of our securities and there is no assurance that we will be able to raise the additional capital that we require to continue operations. In the event that we are unable to raise additional financing on acceptable terms, then we may have to scale back our plan of operations and operating expenditures. We anticipate that we will continue to incur losses until such time as the revenues we are able to generate from sales and licensing of our products exceed our increased operating expenses. We base this expectation in part on the expectation that we will incur increased operating expenses in completing our stated plan of operations and there is no assurance that we will generate revenues that exceed these expenses.
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Our management routinely makes judgments and estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. As the number of variables and assumptions affecting the probable future resolution of the uncertainties increase, these judgments become even more subjective and complex. We have identified certain accounting policies, described below, that are the most important to the portrayal of our current financial condition and results of operations. Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report.
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of property and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to seven years.
7
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue from product sales upon shipment to IBAs, our customers. Revenue from administration fees is recognized upon collection from IBAs.
We review the carrying amount of long-lived assets for impairment where events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The determination of any impairment would include a comparison of estimated future cash flows anticipated to be generated during the remaining life of the assets to the net carrying value of the assets.
In May 2003, the Financial Account Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Accounting Standards no. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity" (hereinafter "SFAS No. 150"). SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for classifying and measuring certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity and requires that those instruments be classified as liabilities in statements of financial position. Previously, many of those instruments were classified as equity. SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003.
We have not yet determined the impact of the adoption of the statement.
We have a limited operating history, an accumulated deficit and may have continued losses for the foreseeable future with no assurance of profitability. As of March 31, 2004 we had an accumulated deficit of $3,044,617. We will need to generate significant revenues to achieve profitability, which may not occur. We expect operating expenses to increase as a result of the further implementation of our business plan. Even if we achieve profitability, we may be unable to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future. It is possible that we will never achieve profitability.
As shown in the financial statements accompanying this Quarterly Report, we had a working capital deficit of approximately $1,300,000 as of March 31, 2004.
Management has established plans designed to increase the sales of our products, and decrease debt. We plan on continuing to reduce expenses, and with small gains in any combination of network sales, direct sales, international sales, and warehouse sales, believe that we will eventually be able to reverse the present deficit. Management intends to seek additional capital from new equity securities offerings that will provide funds needed to increase liquidity, and fully implement our business plan. Management plans include negotiations to convert significant portions of existing debt into equity.
The timing and amount of capital requirements will depend on a number of factors, including demand for products and services and the availability of opportunities for international expansion through affiliations and other business relationships.
We are dependent on our IBAs for our product marketing efforts. Our success and growth depend upon our ability to attract, retain and motivate our network of IBAs who market our products. IBAs are independent contractors who purchase products directly from us for resale and their own use. IBAs typically offer and sell our products on a part-time basis and may engage in other business activities, possibly including the sale of products offered by our competitors. Typically, we have non-exclusive arrangements with our IBAs which may be canceled on short notice and contain no minimum purchase requirements. While we encourage IBAs to focus on the purchase and sale of our products, they may give higher priority to other products, reducing their efforts devoted to marketing our products. Also, our ability to attract and retain IBAs could be negatively affected by adverse publicity relating to us, our products or our operations. In addition, as a result of our
8
network marketing program, the down-line organizations headed by a relatively small number of key IBAs are responsible for a significant percentage of total sales.
The loss of a significant number of IBAs, including any key IBA, for any reason, could adversely affect our sales and operating results, and could impair our ability to attract new IBAs. There is no assurance that our network marketing program will continue to be successful or that we will be able to retain or expand our current network of IBAs.
Government regulation by the Food and Drug Administration and other federal and state entities of our products can impact our ability to market products. We market products that fall under two types of Food and Drug Administration regulations: dietary supplements and personal care products. In general, a dietary supplement:
is a product (other than tobacco) that is intended to supplement the diet that bears or contains one or more of the following dietary ingredients: a vitamin, a mineral, a herb or other botanical, an amino acid, a dietary substance for use by man to supplement the diet by increasing the total daily intake, or a concentrate, metabolite, constituent, extract, or combinations of these ingredients.
Personal care products are intended to be applied to the human body for cleansing, beautifying, promoting attractiveness, or altering the appearance without affecting the body's structure or functions. Included in this definition are products such as skin creams, lotions, perfumes, lipsticks, fingernail polishes, eye and facial make-up preparations, shampoos, permanent waves, hair colors, toothpastes, deodorants, and any material intended for use as a component of a cosmetic product. The Food & Drug Administration has a limited ability to regulate personal care products.
Dietary supplements must follow labeling guidelines outlined by the FDA. Neither dietary supplements nor personal care products require FDA or other government approval or notification to market in the United States.
Under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994, companies that manufacture and distribute dietary supplements are limited in the statements that they are permitted to make about nutritional support on the product label without FDA approval. In addition, a manufacturer of a dietary supplement must have substantiation for any such statement made and must not claim to diagnose, mitigate, treat, cure or prevent a specific disease or class of disease. The product label must also contain a prominent disclaimer. These restrictions may restrict our flexibility in marketing our product.
We believe that all of our existing and proposed products are dietary supplements or personal care products that do not require governmental approvals to market in the United States. Our key products are classified as follows:
9
Personal Care Products
The processing, formulation, packaging, labeling and advertising of such products, however, are subject to regulation by one or more federal agencies, including the FDA, the Federal Trade Commission, the Consumer Products Safety Commission, the Department of Agriculture and the Environmental Protection Agency. Our activities also are subject to regulation by various agencies of the states and localities in which our products are sold. Among other things, such regulation puts a burden on our ability to bring products to market. Any changes in the current regulatory environment could impose requirements that would make bringing new products to market more expensive or restrict the ways we can market our products.
No governmental agency or other third party makes a determination as to whether our products qualify as dietary supplements, personal care products or neither. We make this determination based on the ingredients contained in the products and the claims we make for the products.
If the Federal Trade Commission or certain states object to our product claims and advertising we may be forced to give refunds, pay damages, stop marketing certain products or change our business methods. The Federal Trade Commission and certain states regulate advertising, product claims, and other consumer matters, including advertising of our products. In the past several years the Federal Trade Commission has instituted enforcement actions against several dietary supplement companies for false or deceptive advertising of certain products. We provide no assurance that:
Also, our IBAs and their customers may file actions on their own behalf, as a class or otherwise, and may file complaints with the Federal Trade Commission or state or local consumer affairs offices. These agencies may take action on their own initiative or on a referral from IBAs, consumers or others. If taken, such actions may result in:
A complaint based on the activities of one IBA, whether or not such activities were authorized by us, could result in an order affecting some or all IBAs in a particular state, and an order in one state could influence courts or government agencies in other states. Proceedings resulting from these complaints may result in significant defense costs, settlement payments or judgments and could have a material adverse effect on us.
10
If our network marketing program is shown to violate federal or state regulations, we may be unable to market our products. Our network marketing program is subject to a number of federal and state laws and regulations administered by the Federal Trade Commission and various state agencies. These laws and regulations include securities, franchise investment, business opportunity and criminal laws prohibiting the use of "pyramid" or "endless chain" types of selling organizations. These regulations are generally directed at ensuring that product sales are ultimately made to consumers (as opposed to other IBAs) and that advancement within the network marketing program is based on sales of products, rather than investment in the company or other non-retail sales related criteria.
The compensation structure of a network marketing organization is very complex. Compliance with all of the applicable regulations and laws is uncertain because of:
We have not obtained any no-action letters or advance rulings from any federal or state securities regulator or other governmental agency concerning the legality of our operations. Also, we are not relying on a formal opinion of counsel to such effect. Accordingly there is the risk that our network marketing system could be found to be in noncompliance with applicable laws and regulations, which could have a material adverse effect on us. Such a decision could require modification of our network marketing program, result in negative publicity, or have a negative effect on IBA morale and loyalty. In addition, our network marketing system will be subject to regulations in foreign markets administered by foreign agencies should we expand our network marketing organization into such markets.
The legality of our network marketing program is subject to challenge by our IBAs. We are subject to the risk of challenges to the legality of our network marketing organization by our IBAs, both individually and as a class. Generally, such challenges would be based on claims that our network marketing program was operated as an illegal "pyramid scheme" in violation of federal securities laws, state unfair practice and fraud laws and the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act. An illegal pyramid scheme is generally a marketing scheme that promotes "inventory loading" and does not encourage retail sales of the products and services to ultimate consumers. Inventory loading occurs when distributors purchase large quantities of non-returnable inventory to obtain the full amount of compensation available under the network marketing program. In the event of challenges to the legality of our network marketing organization by our IBAs, there is no assurance that we will be able to demonstrate that:
Proceedings resulting from these claims could result in significant defense costs, settlement payments or judgments, and could have a material adverse effect on us. One of our competitors, Nutrition for Life International, Inc., a multi-level seller of personal care and nutritional supplements, announced in 1999 that it had settled class action litigation brought by distributors alleging fraud in connection with the operation of a pyramid scheme. Nutrition for Life International agreed to pay in excess of $3 million to settle claims brought on behalf of its distributors and certain purchasers of its stock.
We believe that our marketing program is significantly different from the program allegedly promoted by Nutrition for Life International and that our marketing program is not in violation of anti-pyramid laws or regulations. However, there can be no assurance that claims similar to the claims brought against Nutrition for Life International and other multi-level marketing organizations will not be made against us, or that we would prevail in the event any such claims were made. Furthermore, even if we were successful in defending against any such claims, the costs of conducting such a defense, both in dollars spent and in management time, could be material and adversely affect our operating results and financial condition. In addition, the negative publicity of such a suit could adversely affect our sales and ability to attract and retain IBAs.
11
A large portion of our sales is attributable to Calorad. A significant portion of our net sales is expected to be dependent upon our Calorad product. Calorad has traditionally represented more than 90% of our net sales and, although we hope to expand and diversify our product offerings, Calorad is expected to provide a large portion of our net sales in the foreseeable future. If Calorad loses market share or loses favor in the marketplace, our financial results will suffer.
Our products are subject to obsolescence. The introduction by us or our competitors of new dietary supplement or personal care products offering increased functionality or enhanced results may render our existing products obsolete and unmarketable. Therefore, our ability to successfully introduce new products into the market on a timely basis and achieve acceptable levels of sales has and will continue to be a significant factor in our ability to grow and remain competitive and profitable. In addition, the nature and mix of our products are important factors in attracting and maintaining our network of IBAs, which consequently affects demand for our products. Although we seek to introduce additional products, the success of new products is subject to a number of conditions, including customer acceptance. There can be no assurance that:
In addition, no assurance can be given that new products currently experiencing strong popularity will maintain their sales over time. In the event we are unable to successfully increase the product mix and maintain competitive product replacements or enhancements in a timely manner in response to the introduction of new products, competitive or otherwise, our sales and earnings will be materially and adversely affected.
We have no manufacturing capabilities and we are dependent upon Nutri-Diem, Inc. and other companies to manufacture our products. We have no manufacturing facilities and have no present intention to manufacture any of our dietary supplement and personal care products. We are dependent upon relationships with independent manufacturers to fulfill our product needs. Nutri-Diem, Inc., a related party, manufactures and supplies more than 70% of our products. We have contracts with Nutri-Diem that require us to purchase set amounts of its manufactured products for at least the next five years and possibly the next ten years. It is possible that these contracts with Nutri-Diem, Inc. could become unfavorable, and we may not be able to use other manufacturers to provide us with these services if our terms with Nutri-Diem, Inc. become unfavorable. In addition, we must be able to obtain our dietary supplement and personal care products at a cost that permits us to charge a price acceptable to the customer, while also accommodating distribution costs and third party sales compensation. Competitors who do own their own manufacturing may have an advantage over us with respect to pricing, availability of product and in other areas through their control of the manufacturing process.
We may not be able to deliver various products to our customers if third party providers fail to provide necessary ingredients to us. We are dependent on various third parties for various ingredients for our products. Some of the third parties that provide ingredients to us have a limited operating history and are themselves dependent on reliable delivery of products from others. As a result, our ability to deliver various products to our users may be adversely affected by the failure of these third parties to provide reliable various ingredients for our products.
We are materially dependent upon our key personnel and the loss of such key personnel could result in delays in the implementation of our business plan or business failure. We depend upon the continued involvement of Jay Sargeant, our President, Chief Executive Officer and Director, and Dori O'Neill, our Executive Vice President, Chief Operations Officer, Secretary, Treasurer and Director. As we are a developing company, the further implementation of our business plan is dependent on the entrepreneurial skills and direction of management. Mr. Sargeant, Mr. O'Neill guide and direct our activity and vision. This direction requires an awareness of the market, the competition, current and future markets and technologies that would allow us to continue our operations. The loss or lack of availability of these individuals could materially adversely affect our business and operations. We do not carry "key person" life insurance for these officers and directors, and we would be adversely affected by the loss of these three key employees.

We face substantial competition in the dietary supplement and personal care industry, including products that compete directly with Calorad. The dietary supplement and personal care industry is highly competitive. It is relatively easy for new companies to enter the industry due to the availability of numerous contract manufacturers, a ready availability of natural ingredients and a relatively relaxed regulatory environment. Numerous companies compete with us in the development, manufacture and marketing of supplements as their sole or principal business. Generally, these companies are well funded and sophisticated in their marketing approaches.
Depending on the product category, our competition varies. Calorad competes directly with Body Solutions, a product with different ingredients but a similar concept. Additionally, Calorad competes indirectly with food plans such as Weight Watchers and meal replacement products such as Slim Fast. Our Noni Plus product competes with Morinda and others. Our other products have similar well-funded and sophisticated competitors. Increased competitive activity from such companies could make it more difficult for us to increase or keep market share, since such companies have greater financial and other resources available to them and possess far more extensive manufacturing, distribution and marketing capabilities.
We may be subject to products liability claims and may not have adequate insurance to cover such claims. As with other retailers, distributors and manufacturers of products that are designed to be ingested, we face an inherent risk of exposure to product liability claims in the event that the use of our products results in injury. With respect to product liability claims, we have coverage of $5,000,000 per occurrence and $5,000,000 in the aggregate. Because our policies are purchased on a year to year basis, industry conditions or our own claims experience could make it difficult for us to secure the necessary insurance at a reasonable cost. In addition, we may not be able to secure insurance that will be adequate to cover liabilities. We generally do not obtain contractual indemnification from parties supplying raw materials or marketing our products. In any event, any such indemnification is limited by its terms and, as a practical matter, to the creditworthiness of the other party. In the event that we do not have adequate insurance or contractual indemnification, liabilities relating to defective products could require us to pay the injured parties' damages which are significant compared to our net worth or revenues.
We may be adversely affected by unfavorable publicity relating to our product or similar products manufactured by our competitors. We believe that the dietary supplement products market is affected by national media attention regarding the consumption of these products. Future scientific research or publicity may be unfavorable to the dietary supplement products market generally or to any particular product and may be inconsistent with earlier favorable research or publicity. Adverse publicity associated with illness or other adverse effects resulting from the consumption of products distributed by other companies, which are similar to our products, could reduce consumer demand for our products and consequently our revenues. This may occur even if the publicity did not relate to our products. Adverse publicity directly concerning our products could be expected to have an immediate negative effect on the market for that product.
Because we have few proprietary rights, others can provide products and services substantially equivalent to ours. We hold no patents. We believe that most of the technology used by us in the design and implementation of our products may be known and available to others. Consequently, others may be able to formulate products equivalent to ours. We rely on confidentiality agreements and trade secret laws to protect our confidential information. In addition, we restrict access to confidential information on a "need to know" basis. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain the confidentiality of our proprietary information. If our pending trademark or other proprietary rights are violated, or if a third party claims that we violate its trademark or other proprietary rights, we may be required to engage in litigation. Proprietary rights litigation tends to be costly and time consuming. Bringing or defending claims related to our proprietary rights may require us to redirect our human and monetary resources to address those claims.
Our common stock is "penny stock", with the result that trading of our common stock in any secondary market may be impeded. The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the Nasdaq system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a
13
penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Commission, that: (a) contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; (b) contains a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation to such duties or other requirements of Securities' laws; (c) contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; (d) contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; (e) defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and (f) contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type, size and format, as the SEC may require by rule or regulation. The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with: (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; (c) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and (d) a monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock as it is subject to these penny stock rules. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling those securities.
As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2004, being the date of our fiscal period covered by this quarterly report. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, Jay Sargeant and Chief Financial Officer, Rajesh Raniga. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting management to material information relating to us required to be included in our periodic SEC filings. There have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date we carried out our evaluation.
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
During our fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2004, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
The term "internal control over financial reporting" is defined as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the registrant's principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the registrant's board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
(1) | Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable
detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions
of the assets of the registrant; |
14
(2) | Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are
recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts
and expenditures of the registrant are being made only in accordance with
authorizations of management and directors of the registrant; and |
(3) | Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention
or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of
the registrant's assets that could have a material effect on the financial
statements. |

$120,000 to two investors. Each unit was comprised of one share of our
common stock and one share purchase warrant. Each share purchase warrant
entitles the holder to purchase one share of our common stock at a price
of $0.20 per share for the three year period following closing. A total
of 857,143 shares and 857,143 share purchase warrants were issued. The
purchasers consisted of two "accredited investors", as defined by Rule

2. | On January 1, 2004, the Company entered into an
agreement with a independent contractor to provide services in exchange

purchase warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of our common
stock at a price of $0.30 per share for the three year period following
closing. A total of 1,039,597 shares and 1,039,597share purchase warrants
were issued. The purchasers consisted of twenty three "accredited investors",
