NATURAL HEALTH TRENDS CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997
(UNAUDITED)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying financial statements are unaudited, but reflect all
adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a
fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations
for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal
and recurring nature. The results of operations for any interim period
are not necessarily indicative of the results attainable for a full
fiscal year.
2. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
Per share information is computed based on the weighted
average number of shares outstanding during the period.
3. LITIGATION SETTLEMENT
Litigation settlement resulted from the settlement of the litigation
brought about by the landlord in connection with the property leased by
the Company in Lauderhill, Florida (the former location of the
Company's Pompano school), which lease was to expire in July 1997. The
settlement resulted in an additional charge of approximately $112,000
during the quarter ended March 31, 1997 in excess of amounts previously
accrued.
4. ACCRUED CONSULTING CONTRACT
During the quarter ended March 31, 1997, the Company renegotiated with
a former stockholder of Sam Lily, Inc. with whom it was obligated under
an employment agreement to cancel the employment agreement and replace
it with a consulting agreement. The consulting agreement requires the
individual to provide services to the Company for one day per week
through December 1998 at the rate of $5,862 per week. The Company has
determined that the future services, if any, that it will require will
be of little or no value and is accounting for this obligation as a
cost of severing the employment contract. Accordingly, the present
value (applying a discount rate of 10%) of all future
4
payments is accrued in full at June 30, 1997.
5. CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES
In April 1997, the Company issued $1,300,000 of 6% convertible
debentures (the "Debentures"). Principal on the Debentures is due in
March 2000. The principal and accrued interest on the Debentures are
convertible into shares of common stock of the Company . The Debentures
are convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion price equal
to the lesser of $1.4375 or 75% of the average closing bid price of the
Common Stock for the five trading days immediately preceding the notice
of conversion. In June 1997, the Company repaid $300,000 of the
Debentures.
In conjunction with the issuance of the Debentures, the Company issued
warrants to purchase an aggregate of 200,000 shares of Common Stock.
The warrants are exercisable until April 3, 2002. Warrants to purchase
100,000 shares of Common Stock are exercisable at $2.4375 per share,
and the balances are exercisable at $3.25 per share.
The Company loaned $600,000 of the net proceeds from the issuance of
the Debentures to Global Health Alternatives, Inc. ("Global") pending
the closing of the acquisition of Global under the Agreement and Plan
of Reorganization (the "Reorganization Agreement") dated July 23, 1997.
6. PREFERRED STOCK
In June 1997, the Company sold 2,200 shares of its convertible series A
preferred stock for $1,000 a share realizing net proceeds of
$1,900,702. The preferred stock pays dividends at the rate of 8% per
annum payable in shares of the Company's common stock valued at 80% of
the closing bid price. The preferred stock has a liquidation preference
of $1,000 per share. The preferred stock is convertible commencing 60
days after issuance, provided that a registration statement covering
the resale of the shares of common stock is effective, at the rate of
80% of the average closing bid price of the common stock over the five
days preceeding the notice of redemption. The Company has the right to
redeem the preferred stock for 240 days after the date of issuance at
the rate of 125% of the stated value.
7. ACQUISITION
On July 23, 1997, the Company closed on the acquisition of the capital
stock of Global Health Alternatives, Inc. ("Global"). The note
receivable in the amount of $1,964,000 at June 30, 1997 which
5
is due from Global will be eliminated upon consolidation of the two
companies. The purchase price for the acquisition of Global was settled
with the issuance of 5,800,000 shares of the Company's common stock.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and notes contained in Item 1 hereof.
Forward-Looking Statements
When used in Form 10-QSB and in future filings by the Company with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, the words "will likely result", and "the
Company expects", "will continue", is anticipated", "estimated", "project", or
"outlook" or similar expressions are intended to identify "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995.
The Company wishes to caution readers not to place undue reliance on such
forward-looking statements, each of which speak only as of the date made. Such
statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause
actual results to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently
anticipated or projected. The Company has no obligation to release the result of
any revisions which may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect
anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances occurring after the date of
such statements.
Result of Operations
Revenues:
Total revenues were $4,060,922 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 compared
to $3,670,430 for the six months ended June 30, 1996. This represents an
increase of $390,492 or 10.6%. The Company believes that the increase is
primarily attributable to a $489,049 increase in tuition revenue by the
Company's schools. In addition, revenues from the Company's bookstores increased
by $48,109. Offsetting these increases was a decline in revenues from the
Companies natural health care centers of $178,731 due primarily to a decrease in
revenues from the sale of human growth hormone of approximately $71,000, as well
as decreased revenues as a result of the restructuring of the Boca Raton Clinic.
Cost of sales:
Cost of sales for the six months ended June 30, 1997 were $2,186,476 compared to
$2,090,870 for the comparable period last year. Gross profit as a percentage of
revenues was 46.2% for the six months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to 43% for
the six months ended June 30, 1996. Management believes that the primary reason
for the increase is the increased enrollments at the Company's Oviedo school.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses:
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $2,064,154 for the six months
ended June 30,
7
1997. This represents an increase of $245,034 over the six months ended June 30,
1996. As a percentage of revenues, these costs were 50.8% for the six months
ended June 30, 1997 as compared to 49.6% in the 1996 period. The Company
believes that the increase is primarily due to increased expenses in the natural
health care center located in Pompano Beach, Florida as well as increased
expenses in the Oviedo School to support the increase in student enrollment. The
increase of expenses is also attributable to increased investor relations
expense as well as retaining an investment banking firm in connection with
possible future acquisitions.
Litigation settlement:
The litigation settlement resulted from the settlement of the litigation
commenced by the landlord in connection with property leased by the Company in
Lauderhill, Florida. The leased property was the previous site of the Company's
school now located in Pompano Beach, Florida.
Non-cash Imputed Compensation Expense:
In the first quarter of 1997, the Company -expensed $25,000 relating to the
issuance of 20,000 shares of the Company's common stock to an employee which
amount represents the fair market value of the shares issued.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 1997 was $201,728 as
compared to $105,626 for the comparable period of 1996. The increase is
primarily due to interest cost associated with the issuance of the convertible
debentures in December 1996 and April 1997 offset by less borrowing against
available lines of credit as well as the investment of excess funds in higher
yield accounts.
Net Loss
For the six months ended June 30, 1997, the net loss was $1,031,888 compared to
a net loss of $345,186 for the six months ended June 30, 1996. The increase in
the loss is primarily attributable to the impact of the individual elements
discussed above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has funded its working capital and capital expenditure requirements
from cash provided through borrowing from institutions and from the sale of the
Company's securities in private placements and the initial public offering of
its securities. The Company's primary source of cash receipts is from the
payments for tuition, fees, and books. These payments were funded primarily from
students and parent educational loans and financial aid under various federal
and state assistance programs and, to a lesser extent, from student and parent
resources. The
8
Company's secondary source of cash receipts is from services rendered at the
Company's natural health care centers.
In April 1997, the Company issued $1,300,000 of 6% convertible debentures.
Principal on the debentures is due in March 2000. The principal and accrued
interest on the debentures are convertible into shares of common stock of the
Company commencing July 1997 at a conversion price equal to the lesser of
$1.4375 or 75% of the average closing bid price for the five trading days
immediately preceding the notice of conversion. In conjunction with the
debenture issuance, the Company issued warrants to purchase 200,000 shares of
common stock. The warrants are exercisable until April 3, 2002. Half of the
warrants are exercisable at $2.4375 per share, while the remaining half are
exercisable at $3.25 per share.
On July 23, 1997 the Company aquired all of the capital stock of Global Health
Alternatives, Inc. ("Global"). The note receivable in the amount of $1,964,000
at June 30, 1997 which is due from Global will be eliminated upon consolidation
of the two companies. The purchase price for the acquisition of Global was
settled with the issuance of 5,800,000 shares of the Company's common stock.
In June 1997, the Company sold 2,200 shares of its convertible series A
preferred stock for $1,000 a share realizing net proceeds of $1,900,702. The
preferred stock pays dividends at the rate of 8% per annum payable in shares of
the Company's common stock valued at 80% of the market price. The preferred
stock is convertible commencing 60 days after issuance, provided that a
registration statement covering the resale of the shares of common stock is
effective, at the rate of 80% of the common stock's market price. The Company
has the right to redeem the preferred stock for 240 days after the issuance at
the rate of 125% of the stated value.
At June 30, 1997 the ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 1.42 to
1.0. Working capital was approximately $828,000.
Cash used in operations for the period ended June 30, 1997 was approximately
$1,094,806, attributable primarily to the net loss of $1,031,888, adjusted for
non cash expenses and changes in operating assets and liabilities aggregating
$62,918.
Capital expenditures, primarily related to the expansion of the alternative
health care clinic in Boca Raton, Florida to allow for introduction of new
modalities and the transition of the Company's schools to college status used
approximately $161,494 of cash.
The Company anticipates that its net cash flow together with available lines of
credit will be sufficient to finance the Company's operations during the next
twelve months. However, there can be no assurance that this will be the case.
The Company anticipates that additional financing will be required for the
Company's expansion, including the acquisition of Global.
