PART I
Item 1. Business
General
Mannatech Incorporated, a Texas corporation, develops and sellsinnovative, high-quality, proprietary nutritional
supplements, and topical products and weight-management products that are sold
through a network
marketing system. Mannatech operates in a single segment in which it sells its
products inglobal network-marketing system throughout the United States, Canada,
Australia, the United Kingdom and JapanJapan. Currently, Mannatech operates as a
single segment and primarily sells its products through a network of
approximately 237,000192,000 active associates and members. Mannatech defines an
"active associate" as of March 8,
2001 compared to approximately 269,000 active associates as of March 9, 2000.
An "active"an associate is oneor member who has purchased Mannatech's
products from Mannatech within the last 12 months.twelve-months.
From its inception, Mannatech's philosophy has been to formulate
high-quality, primarily naturally-occurring, plant-derived, carbohydrate-based
products rather than a synthetic-based product. Mannatech focuseshas designed its
development efforts primarilyproducts to use nutrients that work through the body's normal physiology to
help achieve and maintain optimal health and wellness. Mannatech believes that
antioxidants are key to a healthy immune system and that it is nearly
impossible for food alone to provide the quantities of antioxidants the body
needs to handle all of the increased free radicals found in today's environment
including pollutants in the area of
carbohydrate technology by creatingair, food and water. Mannatech intends to continue
to base its proprietary ingredient, Ambrotose(R)
complex, which combines certain naturally occurring sugars required to support
optimal cell-to-cell communication. Mannatech's products are primarily based on scientific advances in the emerging field of
phytochemistry. This fieldphytochemistry, which has identified certain naturally-occurring components of
various plants, known as "phytochemicals,""phytochemicals" that are believed to support optimal
health and wellness.
In 1996, Mannatech developed its own proprietary blend of glyconutrients
called Ambrotose[RegTM] complex. Ambrotose[RegTM] complex combines certain
naturally-occurring monosaccharides and polysaccharides that contain sugars,
which while notare essential to sustain life, are believed
fundamental forsupport optimal health.cell-to-cell communication.
Ambrotose[RegTM] complex is a key compound found in most of Mannatech's
high-quality, proprietary products. Recently, Mannatech developed
Ambroglycin(TM), which is a proprietary, food-mineral matrix that delivers to
the body, in a balanced food matrix supplement, certain vitamins, chelated
minerals, trace minerals, antioxidant co-factors and Ambrotose[RegTM] complex.
Mannatech strives to ensure that each of its high-quality products are designed
to support various systems and functions of the human body, including:
. theo cell-to-cell communication system;
. the immune system;
. the endocrine system;
. the intestinal system; and . the dermal system.optimal health and wellness;
o sports performance;
o skin care;
o children's optimal health and wellness; and
o weight-management.
Mannatech marketsbelieves its high-quality products exclusively through a network marketing
system that it believes isare well suited to its products, which emphasize healththe direct
selling and nutrition.network-marketing environment. Mannatech believes network marketing appealsthat direct
selling and network-marketing are effective communication channels that allow
associates to a broad cross-
sectioneffectively educate consumers about the unique potential
benefits, as well as the importance of the population, particularly those seekingscience, behind each of Mannatech's
products. These selling techniques also allow Mannatech's associates to
supplement familytheir income startor even develop their own financial freedom by building
their own successful direct selling and network-marketing system of operation.

and the Office of Dietary Supplements within the National Institutes of
Health to foster research into alternative medical treatments and to
conduct and coordinate research into the role of dietary supplements in
maintaining health and preventing disease;

Operating Strengths
High-Quality, Proprietary Products. Mannatech's products are predominately
formulated with naturally-occurring, plant-derived, carbohydrate-based products
designed to use nutrients working through normal physiology to help achieve and
maintain optimal health and wellness. By creating a proprietary blend of
glyconutrients called Ambrotose[RegTM] complex, Mannatech believes its business strategy will enable it to continue, by
capitalizing onhas
distinguished itself as a leader in the following strengths:
Proprietary Products.nutritional supplements industry.
Mannatech believes that the discovery and development
of products containing certain carbohydrates are essential to a healthy
immune system and that it is nearly impossible for food alone to provide the
quantities of antioxidants necessary for optimal health is
keyto respond to the increased free radicals
found in expanding business opportunities for its associates.today's environment including pollutants in the air, food and water.
Mannatech recognizedbelieves nutritional supplements that are potent enough to support
the nutritional need forrequirements to help neutralize free radicals found in the
eight known monosaccharides in
supportingenvironment should be added to a balanced diet to help achieve optimal health
and believes it offers innovative proprietarywellness.
In 1996, Mannatech focused its research product development on the
fundamental discovery that the body needs eight monosaccharides to support
optimal health and wellness. Rather than attempting to develop synthetic
carbohydrate-based products, as many other companies were doing, Mannatech
began formulating naturally-occurring products to fulfill this newly identified
nutritional need. After developing a key naturally-occurring compound,
Mannatech filed a patent application
on itsfor several patents for this compound containing certain specific monosaccharidesit called
Ambrotose(R)Ambrotose[RegTM] complex. Mannatech believes inclusion ofusing this compound in its
high-quality, proprietary products is important for two reasons:
. it is a marketing factor that continues to help differentiate itsand
distinguish Mannatech's products from its competitors; and
.competitor's products. Furthermore,
the limited availability of this compound helps drivestimulate demand and enableachieve
optimal pricing.
Research and Development. Mannatech believes that its research and development
facilities, strategic alliances with its suppliers and manufacturers combined
with its experienced personnel will allow it to continue to identify, develop and
market additional high-quality, proprietary products. Mannatech'sproducts, which should increase its
competitive advantage in the nutritional supplement industry. Mannatech incurred
$4.0 million, $4.8 million and $3.4 million, in 1999, 2000 and 2001 toward its
various research and development efforts, which historically have been between
2% and 3% of its annual net sales. These efforts are led by a research team
including several scientists with significant years of experience including
designing products based on carbohydratecarbohydrate-based technology. Mannatech's
philosophy is to concentrate its research and development efforts, to identify
new high-quality, complementary products and improve its existing products to
ensure it maintains high-quality standards. A recent example of its on-going
research and development includes the development of Ambroglycin(TM), a
proprietary, food-mineral matrix that delivers vitamins, chelated minerals,
trace minerals, antioxidant co-factors and Ambrotose[RegTM] complex in a
balanced food matrix supplement. Some of its research and development efforts
are conducted in Mannatech's technologically advanced laboratory that is
equipped with various gas and liquid chromatographs and mass spectrometers,
which are used to:
.o maintain Mannatech's quality standards;
.o support research and development in the areaefforts of new herbal complexes;
and
.naturally-occurring
compounds;
o help support the development of both new products; and
o continuously improve existing products.
Quality Assurance Program. Mannatech believes in using only the highest
quality ingredients in manufacturing its products and uses the highest
standards of production for making its products. Mannatech's team of quality
assurance professionals, research scientists and medical doctors include
professionals who have significant experience in the pharmaceutical industry.
Mannatech's quality assurance team helps ensure that Mannatech's quality
standards of production are consistently followed by routinely performing
quality assurance testing on its products in its laboratory.

Mannatech's comprehensive quality assurance program is based on the Good
Manufacturing Practices for foods. In addition, Mannatech has expanded its
quality assurance program to incorporate additional unique requirements for
dietary supplements. Mannatech's team of experts helps ensure that its
formulations are made with natural ingredients whenever possible, that its
products are produced using Mannatech's strict guidelines and that the
conditions at the various suppliers and manufacturers are adequate to ensure
batch-to-batch consistency. Mannatech further requires that its formulations
meet rigorous specifications for microbiological, chemical and physical
analysis. The strict manufacturing standards, along with the purity of the
ingredients in some of Mannatech's products, have resulted in certain of
Mannatech's products being certified as strict kosher.
To complementensure strict controls over its in-house staffproducts through all phases of
manufacturing, packaging and facilities,distribution, Mannatech sought,only contracts with
suppliers and will
continuemanufacturers that have a high-quality assurance system in place,
meet stringent requirements by the Food and Drug Administration and are
certified by official accredited bodies such as the Association for Clinical,
Environmental Research or the Information Sciences and the National Nutritional
Foods Association. Mannatech periodically reviews each of its suppliers' and
manufacturers' quality assurance programs to seek, strategic alliancesensure that Mannatech's required
specifications, sampling plans and test procedures are being followed.
After the products are received from the manufacturers, Mannatech's
quality assurance team samples each batch and routinely tests the products to
determine the products' stability under controlled storage conditions and help
ensure accurate expiration dates. Mannatech's quality assurance program also
strives to ensure that its bulk products are packaged with several large manufacturersan outer seal and
all other products are sealed with both an inner and outer seal. To help ensure
customer satisfaction, Mannatech offers a reasonable return policy. In
addition, Mannatech recommends that consumers should always examine any food
products for any sign of nutritional supplements. These companies work with Mannatech to create, develop
and manufacture its proprietary products. Mannatech also works with other
smaller companies to identify and develop new innovative products that
complement its existing products.tampering before using or ingesting.

GrowthBusiness Strategy
Mannatech's growth strategy is to:
.goals for the future include:
o Increase Brand Awareness. Mannatech believes it has built a solid
foundation and has distinguished itself as an innovator in the
nutritional supplement industry. Mannatech plans to continue its research
and development efforts to identify and develop new and improved
associate tools to assist them in educating consumers on the science and
the unique benefits of its products.
o Introduce New Products and Continue to Enhance Existing Products. Since its
inception, Mannatech has performed research and intendsanalysis and identified
certain targets for future product development. Mannatech tries to continue to introduce new products each year. Mannatech expectsensure
that each new product to containcontains one or more of its high-quality,
proprietary componentscompounds and tothat its new products complement its existing
products. .Mannatech also strives to offer the highest quality ingredients
in its products and continues its on-going research to try to ensure that
its products contain the most effective ingredients. Through continued
research, Mannatech may identify alternative ingredients that improve the
efficacy of its products and may change existing formulations to include
such improvements or enhancements, which may stimulate existing product
sales.
o Attract and Retain New Associates and Enhance Associate Productivity.
Mannatech focuses on its operating strengths and strives to create a business climate that recognizescompensate
its associates for their on-going achievements. As a result, Mannatech
has introduced several new incentive programs for its associates,
including a carpower bonus and "fast-start" programs.
Further,team bonus programs, which reward associates
who achieve certain leadership levels. In addition, Mannatech offers
several trip incentives in hopes of continuing to attract new associates.
During 2001, Mannatech outlined its overall plans to simplifyenhance its
associate's global incentive program, for its
associates, in part to encourage greater
retention, motivation and productivity. In addition, Mannatech will continue to modify its
associate events and recognition programs to encourage retention and

o Expand its Existing International Markets. Based upon projections by
various data gathering organizations including the Nutrition Business
Journal and the World Federation of Direct Selling Association, Mannatech

Products and Product Development
Mannatech believes it markets quality and proprietaryMannatech's products thatcurrently include 26 different nutritional products,
and 3 topical products and a weight-management system consisting of 6 products.
Mannatech also offers a variety of sales aids to its associates, including
enrollment and renewal packs, a CD-ROM orientation/training program, brochures,
videotapes, web-based data management tools and a personalized website
for its associates. Sales aidsdevelopment package, all of which accounted for approximately 18.9%17.6%, 17.6%17.3% and
17.3%15.5% of net sales in 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2000,2001, respectively.
Mannatech scientists believeMannatech's products are based on a belief that the discovery and use of certain
carbohydrates offer significant potential formay provide certain nutritional benefits. Healthy bodies are
comprised of many sophisticated components working together, which must haveneed
accurate internal communication to function at an optimal level. In its most
basic form, this communication occurs at the cellular level and is referred to
by molecular biologists as cell-to-cell communication. To maintain a healthy
body, cells must "talk" to other cells. Scientists have learned that certain
molecules found on the surface of all cells, called "glycoproteins," play an
essential role in all cell-to-cell communication. The name "glycoprotein" is
derived from the molecules' composition: sugar, known as "glyco," and protein.
The body's need for carbohydrates is important because up to 85% of
glycoproteins are composed of specific monosaccharides. Mannatech believes that
these carbohydratescarbohydrate-based monosaccharides and polysaccharides are necessary to
support and maintain optimal health. In support of Mannatech's theory, Harper's
Biochemistry, a leading biochemistry reference source, listslisted eight different
monosaccharides commonly found in human glycoproteins, thatwhich are importantbelieved to thebe
key in helping healthy functioning of cell-to-cell communication in the human body. These
monosaccharides are as follows:
.include:
o fucose;
.o galactose;
.o glucose;
.o mannose;
.o N-acetylgalactosamine;
.o N-acetylglucosamine;
.o N-acetylneuraminic acid; and
.o xylose.
From the universe of approximately 200 monosaccharides found in nature,
Mannatech's proprietary ingredient, Ambrotose(R)compound, Ambrotose[RegTM] complex, iswas designed
to provide certain of these monosaccharides. Mannatech has applied for various
patents for the monosaccharides listed aboveformulation and use of this proprietary compound. Mannatech
expanded its products in 2001 to include the following:
o GLYCO-BEARS(TM), a chewable multivitamin especially formulated for
children between the ages of 4 to 14. This children's chewable
multivitamin helps provide the body with 26 essential vitamins, minerals,
other vital nutrients, Ambrotose[RegTM] complex and a phytonutrient
complex that is made from 30 different fruits and vegetables. This
children's multivitamin also helps support children's immune systems and
contains no artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners, iron, yeast or
hydrogenated oils.
o Glycentials(TM) Vitamin, Ambroglycin(TM) Mineral and Antioxidant Formula,
a dietary supplement that helps provide a balanced food matrix of
vitamins, chelated minerals, trace minerals, antioxidant co-factors and
Ambrotose[RegTM] complex. This antioxidant-rich formula contains no
artificial flavors, colors, sweeteners, yeast, sucrose or dextrose and
helps the body's natural ability to neutralize the effects of toxins,
environmental stress, poor diet and daily physical and oxidative
stress--all of which are believed to play a part in damaging cells,
tissues, DNA and cellular aging.

o CardioBALANCE(TM) Heart Care Formula, a dietary supplement that provides
a wide range of specific nutritional benefits designed to aid in keeping
an already normal cardiovascular system strong and well. Among other
components, this product contains the following: a component to support
natural production of glutathione, the human body's most important
antioxidant for the breakdown of toxins; folic acid, for growth,
development and red blood cell formulation; garlic, for phytochemical
support; grape extract and hawthorn berry extract, for antioxidant
support; and a biochemical co-factor, which primarily helps sustain
energy metabolism in muscles. This formula helps maintain:
o homocysteine levels that are necessary for
optimal cell-to-cell communication.
Mannatech focuses on bringing new proprietaryalready in the normal range;

In response to recent overall public concerns related to products
containing the ingredient ephedrine, Mannatech voluntarily agreed to reformulate
two of its products that contain small amounts of ephedrine-- MVP and
consulting feesGlycoLEAN[RegTM] BODY SYSTEM ACCELERATOR(TM). Mannatech identified a
high-quality ephedrine-free substitute ingredient and voluntarily began
reformulating its GlycoLEAN[RegTM] BODY SYSTEM ACCELERATOR(TM) product to
include an ephedrine-free formula, and renamed it GlycoLEAN[RegTM] BODY SYSTEM
ACCELERATOR2(TM), in January 2002. In addition, Mannatech is currently
identifying the most effective ephedrine-free substitute for its MVP product.
Mannatech has never had any significant complaint or allegation resulting from
the consumption of approximately $3.4
million in 1998, $3.6 million in 1999its products that contain ephedrine and $4.4 million in 2000.

cannot make any assurances or guarantees it believes the risk of any liability
would be minimal.

Intellectual Property
At March 20, 2002, Mannatech had approximately 17 trademark registrations
in the United States and approximately 9 trademark applications pending with
the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Mannatech's policy is to pursue
registrations for all the trademarks associated with its key products and try
to protect its legal rights concerning its trademarks.
Mannatech relies on common law trademark rights to protect its
unregistered trademarks, even though these common law trademark rights do not
provide Mannatech with the same level of protection as afforded by a United
States federal registration of a trademark. Common law trademark rights are
limited to the geographic area in which the trademark is actually used, while a
United States federal registration of a trademark enables the registrant to
discontinue the unauthorized use of the trademark by a third party anywhere in
the United States even if the registrant has never used the trademark in the
geographic area where the trademark is being used, provided however, that the
unauthorized third party user has not, prior to the registration date,
perfected its common law rights of the trademark in that geographic area.
Mannatech also has approximately 40 trademarks applications pending in 20
foreign jurisdictions. The protection available in such jurisdictions may not
be as extensive as the protection available to Mannatech in the United States.
Currently, Mannatech has a patent application pending in the United States
Patent and Trademark Office and has 4 issued patents and 18 patent applications
submitted to various foreign jurisdictions in connection with its
glyconutrients blend listed as compositions of plant carbohydrates as dietary
supplements. To ensure quality control and to support, validate and monitor the proprietary nature ofextent Mannatech does not have its products patented, there
can be no assurance that another company will not replicate one or more of

Associate Distribution System
Overview. The foundation of Mannatech's sales philosophy is the
distribution of its product through a unique direct selling and
distribution
system is network marketing.network-marketing operation. In its direct selling and network-marketing
operations, consumers called associates and members purchase products for
resale and/or for personal consumption. Associates and members are not
considered employees of Mannatech, but rather independent contractors who are
contractually bound to follow certain policies and procedures. These policies
and procedures require associates to act in a professional manner and abide by
certain regulatory guidelines. Mannatech believes that itsthe direct selling and
network-marketing system is anthe most effective communication vehicle to distributesell
its products for the following reasons:
.o it is easiereasy to explain and educate the consumer on the unique benefits of
Mannatech'sthe products in a person-to-person, educational setting;
.o it is more direct and personal than television and print advertisements;
. direct sales allowo it allows potential consumers to actually testtry the products;
.products before purchasing;
o there is greater impact on the consumer than from associatetelevision or print
advertising because the consumer learns directly from associates and
consumer
testimonials;
. it assists in building a base of potentialother consumers for additional
products;
.about the various experiences and benefits;
o associates can provide higherhigh levels of customer service and give
personalized attention by following up on saleswith consumers to ensure proper product usage and customer
satisfaction;
o obtaining a reasonable product return policy;
o recent advancements in technology, including the more wide-spread
acceptability of the Internet as a more acceptable vehicle in which to
place orders, has increased the effectiveness of the direct selling
market; and
. direct contact with customers helpo the development and integration of Mannatech's database website,
www.GlycoScience.com, which allows any user to facilitate repeat purchases.

found in Mannatech's products.
Mannatech encourages, but does not require, associates to use its
products,
norproducts. Mannatech does itnot require a personpotential consumer to be enrolled as an
associate in order to purchase its products. In 2001, Mannatech created its
member program, in which consumers can sign up to purchase products at a
discount but not participate in any business opportunities. Mannatech believes
its network marketingthe direct selling and network-marketing system is particularly attractive to
prospective associates for the following reasons:

source of income;
.o there is no requirement to purchase inventory;

o there is no needrequirement to collect money from customers;
.carry accounts receivables;
o there is limited paperwork involved in the sales process;
o it offers a reasonable product return and .exchange policy; and
o it allows for a flexible work schedule.
Mannatech's net sales are very dependent upon the number of its active
associate and member base and their productivity. Over the last several years,
Mannatech has experienced a decline in the number of its active associates. To
combat any negative effect caused by a decline in active associates, Mannatech
strives to equip its associates with new tools and techniques necessary to grow
a successful business. Mannatech believes that the enrollment of new associates
and retention of its existing associates will be contributing factors to its
long-term growth and success. Mannatech suggests associates enroll new associatesindividuals
with whom the associatesthey have pre-existing relationships, such as:as family members,
friends, business associates neighbors or otherwise.neighbors. Mannatech believes that associates will
be more likely to remain active if they are enrolled by someone with whom they
have an ongoingon-going relationship. Mannatech remains active in the development of
its associates through recruitment, support, motivation and compensation.
Associates pay for products purchasedpurchases prior to shipment. Mannatech carries no
accounts receivablesignificant account receivables from its associates, except for amounts owed
for check returns or other exceptions. Associates generally pay for products by
credit card; however, orders are also paid with cash, direct deposit, money
orders and checks. Associates may automatically order products onMannatech also offers discounts to its associates and
members if they sign up for a continuous basis and receive a
discount.voluntary automatic monthly order. Automatic
orders have continued to increase and accounted for approximately 44.9%, 47.1% and57.4% of net
sales in 2001 compared to 49.2% of net sales for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1999 and 2000,
respectively.
Advances in communications, including telecommunications, the Internet and
the increasing use of videotape players, fax machines and personal computers
have enhanced the effectiveness of network marketing as a distribution channel
in the past decade. Mannatech offers high-quality video and audiotapes for use
in product education, demonstrations and sponsoring activities. In March 2000,
Mannatech substantially completed its science-based website,
www.GlycoScience.com, which allows users to search for science-based
information about various nutritional ingredients, some of which are found in
Mannatech's products. Mannatech believes these sales aids play an important
role in the success of its associate efforts and Mannatech is committed to
using current and future technological advances to enhance the effectiveness of
the network marketing efforts of its associates.2000.
Associate Development. Mannatech believes key contributing factors to its
long-term growth and success will be the recruitment of new associates and the
retention of existing associates. Mannatech is active in the development of its
associates, which includes the areas of recruitment, support, motivation and
compensation. Mannatech primarily relies on existing associates
to enroll new associates. The enrollment of new associates creates multiple
levels in the network
marketing structure.a direct selling environment. These new associates are referred to as
"downline" or "sponsored" associates. AssociatesEnrolled associates can purchase products
directly from Mannatech at wholesale prices and can sponsor other associates in
order to build a network of associates, members and product users.
Mannatech also relies heavily on existing associates to train new
associates. Mannatech's master associate training course, an advanced training
program for associates, was developed using both the expertise of experienced
corporate trainers and the experience of seasoned associates. While Mannatech
provides brochures, magazines and other sales materials, advanced trainingusers, which is
especially designed to provide systematic and uniform training to associates
about Mannatech and its products, compensation plan and methods of doing
business. Mannatech continues to update its training courses to ensure that its
associates receive the latest information on its products, sales aids,
technology advances, and sales methods available.called network-marketing.
The needs of Mannatech's associates are a priority and Mannatech believes
that theproviding a high level of support it provideslevel for its associates' efforts is very
important to Mannatech's success. Mannatech provides a large number of support
services tailored to the needs of its associates needs, including:
.o motivational meetings;
.meetings and corporate sponsored events;
o educational and informative conference calls;
9
.o automated fax services;
.o an efficient decentralized ordering and distribution system;
.o personalized customer service via telephone, Internet and e-mail;
.o 24-hour, seven days per week access to information through touch-tone
phones and the Internet;
.o web-based conference calls;
.o a current database of each associates'associate's downline information;
.information, including a
new web-based data management tool;
o business development materials that Mannatech believes willintended to help increasestimulate product sales
and recruitment;simplify enrollment; and
.o an innovative website database, www.GlycoScience.com, designed to provide
aany user with the ability to search and provide science-based information
about various nutritional ingredients, some of which are included in
Mannatech's products.
Mannatech also relies heavily on its existing associates to train new
associates. To assist its associates in their training endeavors, Mannatech
introduced a new CD-ROM for worldwide orientation training. This
orientation/training aid integrates audio, video and motion graphics into a
user-friendly, interactive CD-ROM that can be tailored by each associate into
their own individual, unique marketing and training tool. This CD-ROM should
help provide systematic and uniform training related to Mannatech's products,
compensation plan and methods of doing business. Mannatech also provides
various brochures, magazines and other sales materials to its associates to
assist them in training and continuing education. Mannatech will continue to
11
periodically update all of its training aids to ensure that its associates
receive the latest information available on its products, sales aids,
technology advances and sales methods.
Mannatech currently recognizes associate performance with four levels often different
associate leadership achievement:
.achievement levels. The leadership levels from lowest to
highest include:
o active;
o qualified;
o regional;
.o national;
.o executive;
o presidential;
o bronze;
o silver;
o gold; and
. presidential.
The level ofo platinum.
An associate leadership level is based upon the associate pack purchased,
the associates' downline growth and direct and indirect commissionable net
sales. CommissionableGlobal commissionable net sales are derived from product and pack sales
of productseach with certain assigned personal and group product point volume. Generally,
sales aids are not assigned any product point volume. Each associate leadership
level provides the associate with the opportunity to participate in Mannatech's
global incentive plan.
When Mannatech expanded internationally, it integrated the majority of its
global incentive plan across all markets in which its products were sold,
thereby allowing all of its existing associates to receive commissions for
global product sales and expansion of their networks. Mannatech believed this
situation, referred to as its "global seamless downline structure," allowed
each of its associates to build their global networks by expanding their
existing downlines into Mannatech's international markets rather than having to
establish new downlines to requalify for higher levels of commissions within
each new country. Certain governmental agencies in foreign countries govern the
various aspects of associates compensation rangingand strongly discourage specific
types of commission, which pays associates incentives for building their
individual global network. As a precaution, Mannatech elected to eliminate this
type of commission from 15%its global incentive plan used in its foreign
operations.
Mannatech's new global incentive plan was designed to eliminate the
commission described above in the United States and Canada and increase the
payout of all of the remaining commission types. The plan was also designed to
increase some of the payouts for each of the associate leadership levels. These
modifications should be implemented during 2002 and will help perfect
Mannatech's global incentive plan into a seamless commission plan for all
countries in which it operates and should help motivate its associates without
materially altering the overall payout of commissions as a percentage of
commissionable sales at the regional director
level to 9% of commissionable sales at the presidential level, excluding the
generational bonus. An associate can achieve four levels within presidential
status. The levels are bronze, silver, gold and platinum. In addition,
associates are eligible for a "generation bonus," which is an additional
achievement level specially designed to motivate sales and downline growth. In
2001, Mannatech intends to simplify its plan, yet expand its associate
recognition programs as necessary to reward increased levels of performance and
to further motivate its associates.net sales.
Associate Compensation. Mannatech's global incentive plan combines the
aspects of two widely used multilevel marketingnetwork-marketing compensation plan concepts.
Mannatech's global incentive plan pays various types of commissions based onupon
a percentage of the associate's commissionable direct and indirect net sales
and the attainment of certain associate leadership levels. The essential
elements of Mannatech's compensationglobal incentive plan are similar to other multi-level marketing
compensationdirect
selling and network-marketing incentive plans. In addition each associate may determine their own optimal

rewarding the associate for both the breadth and depth inwithin their global
downline organizations.
Mannatech's compensationcurrent global incentive plan pays the following:
.various incentives and
commissions including:

Mannatech projects that its new global incentive plan will be implemented
in mid-2002 and will pay similar commissions and incentives as its current
global incentive plan with the following exceptions:
o the team bonus will be modified to pay $100 per business period to an
associate who earns less than $100 if they build a team of six qualified
associates in their global downline, who order regularly;
o a new pool bonus will be paid to associates who achieve a certain
leadership level and remain at that level plus an additional bonus will
be paid to every associate within their downline who achieves that same
leadership level; and
o the car incentive bonus will be phased out.
Based upon the knowledge of industry-related network marketing compensationnetwork-marketing incentive
plans, Mannatech believes that its compensationglobal incentive plan is currently among the
most financially rewarding plans offered in the industry. Mannatech's
commissions, as a percentage of net sales, waswere 40.9%, 41.2% and 40.4%, 40.9% for
1999, 2000 and 41.2% for 1998, 1999 and 2000,2001, respectively.
Mannatech does not employ the entire compensation plan described above
outside of the United States and Canada. In the international sector, Mannatech
uses similar plans with regard to commissionable product sales that are
tailored to fit the laws and considerations governing compensation of
associates in each country. Mannatech integrated its international compensation
plan across all markets in which its products are, or will be sold, thereby
allowing associates to receive commissions for global product sales. Mannatech
refers to this as its "global seamless downline structure" and hopes it will
help associates to build their global networks by expanding their downlines
into international markets without having to establish new downlines or
requalify for higher levels of commissions within each new country. Mannatech's
international compensation plan is designed to pay approximately the same
percentage compensation as in the United States and Canada.
Management of Associates. Mannatech believes it takes an active role in the management
of its associates. Mannatech believes anyMannatech's legal/compliance oversight process is complicated
because thesince its associates are independent contractors and not employees of Mannatech. Mannatech seeksemployees.
Mannatech tries to restrict the statementsensure that an associate's conduct comports with applicable

owned by associates and to preserve and protect its trademarks, Mannatech
introduced MannapagesTM,Mannapages(TM), a standardized, personal, Internet website program

offering continuing education to its associates to help ensure that they
understand and abide by all of Mannatech's policies and procedures.
Product Return Policy. Mannatech offers a reasonable product return
policy. Mannatech's productretail sale return policy states that any retail customer
may return the unused portion of any product to the sellingoriginal associate who sold
the product and receive a full cash refund from thethat associate. Mannatech will
then reimburse anythat associate who provides aprovided such refund to athe retail customer

associates states that any
associate requesting a refund will receive a 90% refund of the paid wholesale
cost for any returned, unopened, restockable products and any up-to-date
corporate literature that is in good, usable condition. Historically, product
returns have not been significant andMannatech believes that
its return policies are consistent with the return policies of other direct
selling companies. Product returns as a percentage of net sales were 1.7%1.0%, 1.0%0.8%

Information Technology and Systems
Mannatech believes that maintaining sophisticatedon-going improvement and reliable transactions-
processing systemsmaintenance of its
transaction-processing database is essential to its long-term success.
Mannatech's systems are designed to:
.o reduce the time required to supply an associate, member or retail
customer with products;
.o provide detailed and customized ordering information;
.o respond quickly to associate needs and information requests;
.o provide detailed and accurate information concerning qualification and
downline activity;
.o provide detailed reports of commissions paid to the associate;
.associates;
o support the order processing and customer service department;departments; and
.o help to monitor, analyze and report financial and operating results.
Mannatech has a comprehensive service continuity plan to help minimize the
risk of loss. Mannatech has a wide-range of information technology
professionals on staff who performs daily backup procedures, monitor various
software and hardware systems and perform routine maintenance procedures.
Mannatech also continues to upgrade its software and hardware to help ensure
that its systems are working efficiently and effectively. Mannatech believes
that it will minimize any risk of loss or disruption of its operations by fully
integrating its service continuity plan in 2002.
During 2001, Mannatech developed a $1 million web-based database
management tool called Success Tracker(TM), which is primarily used by its
associates to manage their business organization by providing them with global,
seamless reporting on the status of their individual organization. Associates
who do not wish to have personal information such as their street address and
telephone number published on Success Tracker(TM) may elect to remove this
information from the database information that can be accessed by associates.
In 2002, Mannatech expects to spend approximately $6.6$8.3 million on its
information technology operations, of which approximately $1.7 million$940,000 will be for
capital expenditures. These expenditures will help provide additional
technology for Mannatech's business reporting for its associates, its
internally-based database management tools and the continued development of its
service continuity program. The service continuity program will help minimize
the risk of displacement due to provideany significant disruption in business
operations. Mannatech believes that new technology towill continue to help
address the needs of associates and expand
transaction-processing systems to accommodate international operations.its associates. Mannatech believes that the significant
investment in software, hardware and personnel will enableis necessary for it to:
.to perform
the following:
o rapidly respond rapidly to itsany business needs for information technology
assessment and development;
.o manage internationalits global operations and its seamless downline structure;
.o help analyze and identify ways to increase sales and improve operations;
o help identify areas in which Mannatechit can reduce operating expenses; and
.o help safeguard Mannatech's database.
Mannatech'sits database and associate information.
Mannatech also maintains a sophisticated financial system that includes a
general ledger module, five sub-modules that directly interface with the
general ledger module and a report-writing system that is windows-based and
capable of operating on several platforms. TheThese financial system enablessystems enable
Mannatech to timely track and analyze financial information and create and produce
customized reports. Mannatech continues to update its financial systems for
technological advances and believes its current financial systems are adequate
for its immediate future needs.projected reporting needs over the next twelve-months.
Production and Distribution of Products
All of Mannatech's products are manufactured by outside contractors.
ThisMannatech believes that this flexible operating strategy provides Mannatechit with
the virtualsufficient production capacity necessaryto enable it to respond to significant
fluctuations in its sales, butwhile limiting its required investment in capital
equipment. Mannatech believes that it currently has thehigh-quality contract manufacturers'
support necessary to meetsuppliers
and manufacturers supporting Mannatech's current and projected inventory
requirements over the next several years. Nonetheless, Mannatech continues to
identify new quality-drivenwork with suppliers and manufacturers to supplyensure that if their current suppliers
or manufacturers cannot meet Mannatech's demand or if the suppliers and
manufacturers reduce their quality standards, Mannatech can switch production
of its products necessary forto another supplier or manufacturer without any significant
disruption of its success.operations. As a safeguard, Mannatech also continues to seek cost-
cutting measures by periodically reviewing current pricing considerations and
by requiring competitive bids from various manufacturers that meet its quality
and performance requirements.
Mannatech currently acquires its ingredients from superior suppliers of such
ingredients and has successfully
identified dependable alternative sources for all of its ingredients in its
various formulations except Manapol(R)Manapol[RegTM] and Arabinogalactan, which are
componentsunique ingredients used in the production of Ambrotose(R)Ambrotose[RegTM] complex. With these alternative sources, Mannatech could produce,
purchase or replace any of the ingredients if it was unable to purchase any of
these ingredients from its current suppliers. In
January 2000,
14
Mannatech signed a new supply agreement with its supplier of Manapol(R)Manapol[RegTM] and
in February 2001, Mannatech modified the purchasing requirements of the supply
agreement. The supply agreement requires Mannatech to buy a minimum monthly
volume at an agreed-upon price through August 2002.2003. Currently, Mannatech
purchases up to 40% of the production of its Manapol[RegTM] supplier. Although
Mannatech believes it maintains good working relationships with its suppliers
and manufacturers, it continues to identify new quality-driven sources to help
ensure that it maintains high-quality and minimizes its costs.
Mannatech's main distribution operation is located in Coppell, Texas, and
consists of 75,000 square feet of leased space in which it maintains itsan
automated system capable of processing up to 18,000 orders per day. This system
enhances productivity and willis projected to support planned sales volume growth.
The distribution facility contains 12
warehouse and distribution offices. To
maximize its operating strategy yet minimize costs, Mannatech also hascontracts with
third-party contract distribution facilities in Canada, Australia, the United
Kingdom and Japan. By entering into these contracted distribution facility
agreements, Mannatech minimizes the fulfillment time for processing orders and
is generally able to process an order within 24 hours after order placement and
payment. For further information on these contract facilities, see "Properties" on page 18 of"Item 2.

Government Regulations
In the United States, network marketing activities are regulated by a large
number of laws, governmental regulations, laws, administrative
determinations, court decisions and similar legal requirements at the federal,
state and local levels.levels regulate direct selling and network-marketing

.o taxation of associates and the requirement to collect taxes and maintain
appropriate records;
.o how a company makes,manufacturers, packages, labels, distributes, imports,

.o product ingredients;
.o product claims;
.o advertising; and
.o the extent into which a company may be responsible for associates' claims

Mannatech's business and/or its products in the United States:
.o the Food and Drug Administration;
.Administration (FDA);
o the Federal Trade Commission;
.Commission (FTC);
o the Consumer Product Safety Commission;
.o the Department of Agriculture;

products are sold.
The Food and Drug AdministrationFDA regulates the formulation, manufacture, packaging, storage,
labeling, promotion, distribution and sale of foods, dietary supplements,
over-the-counter drugs and over-the-counter drugs. Food and Drug Administration
regulations require both Mannatech and its suppliers to meet good manufacturing

and has published a Notice of Advanced Rule Making for good manufacturing
practices for dietary supplements. On January 6, 2000, the Food and Drug
Administrationpharmaceuticals. The FDA issued a final rule called
"Statements madeMade for Dietary Supplements Concerning the Effect of the Product

Mannatech and both its suppliers and manufacturers to meet Good Manufacturing
Practices in their preparation, packing, storage and shipment of products. The
FDA has also published a Notice of Advanced Rule Making for Good Manufacturing
Practices, which requires manufacturing of dietary supplements to also follow
Good Manufacturing Practices. Mannatech believes this final rule has not had an adverse effect
as it was already in compliance.
Themeets all the necessary
regulations of the FDA.
Mannatech's core sales philosophy is based on the Dietary Supplement
Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA). This DSHEA act revised the provisions
of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act concerning the composition and
labeling of dietary supplements. Mannatech believes this act is
generally favorable to the dietary supplement industry because itsupplements, which created a new class, by statute,
ofentitled "dietary supplements,supplements." which includesDietary supplements include vitamins, minerals,
herbs, amino acids and other dietary substances

the market before October 15, 1994. A dietary supplement that containsrequires a dietary ingredient that was not on the market before October 15, 1994 mustcompany to provide
evidence establishing that thea supplement is reasonably expected

o maintain evidence that the statement is truthful and not misleading;
. makeo include a disclaimer in the statement itself; and
.o notify the Food and Drug AdministrationFDA of the statement no later than 30 daysthirty-days after the
statement is first made.
TheMannatech believes a majority of theits products that Mannatech markets are classified asincluded in the dietary
supplements underclass as outlined in the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. In 1999, the
Food and Drug Administration issued newThe
FDA issues regulations governing the labeling and marketing of dietarynutritional
supplement products. These regulations include:
.o the identification of dietary or nutritional supplements and their
nutrition and ingredient labeling;
.o requirements related to the wording used for claims about nutrients,
health claims and statements of nutritional support;
.o labeling requirements for dietary or nutritional supplements for which
"high potency" and "anti-oxidant""antioxidant" claims are made;
.o notification procedures for statements on dietary and nutritional
supplements; and
.o premarket notification procedures for new dietary ingredients in
dietarynutritional supplements.
Mannatech is required to continue its ongoing program of providing evidence
for its product performance claims, and to notify the Food and Drug
Administration of certain types of performance claims made for its products.
Mannatech's substantiation program involves compilingthe compilation and reviewing thereview of
scientific literature pertinent to the ingredients contained in each of its
products. Mannatech continuously updates its on-going substantiation program to
provide evidence for its product claims and notifies the FDA of certain types
of performance claims made in connection with its products.
Because of its international expansion, Mannatech is also subject to
extensive regulations in each country in which it operates, which currently
include Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom and Japan. Some of the various
country-specific regulations include, but are not limited to, the following:
o the Therapeutic Goods Administration and the Trade Practices Act, in
Australia;
o the National Provincial Laws and the Federal Competition Act, in Canada;
o Federal and State regulations, in Australia;
o National regulations including the Local Trading Standards Officers, in
the United Kingdom;
o Regulation by the Ministry of International Trade and Industry, in Japan.
In certain markets, including the United States, claims made by Mannatech
with respect to dietary supplements, personal care or any of its other products
may change the regulatory status of the product. For example, a product sold as
a dietary supplement but promoted on its label or in its marketing as a
treatment, prevention or cure for a specific disease or condition would likely
be considered by the FDA as unapproved and thus an illegal drug. To maintain
the product's status as a dietary supplement, the labeling and marketing must,
at a minimum, be consistent with the provisions in the United
States,DSHEA and must not be
inconsistent with the FDA's extensive regulations regarding drugs. As a result,
Mannatech has implemented procedures designed to ensure that its associates and
employees comply with the requirements of DSHEA and the Food, Drug and Drug Administration could possibly take the position that
claims made for some of Mannatech's products make those products new drugs
requiring preliminary approval. The Food and Drug Administration could also
place those products withinCosmetic
Act. Because the scope of a Foodthe FDA's authority under DSHEA and Drug Administration over-
the-counter drug monograph. Over-the-counter monographs dictate permissible
ingredients, appropriate labeling language and require the marketer or supplier
of the products to register and file annual drug listing information with the Food, Drug
and Drug Administration. Emprizone(R)Cosmetic Act is often open to interpretation and debate there can be no
assurance that the FDA will not question Mannatech's actions in the future.
Emprizone[RegTM] is the only product Mannatech currently sells that is labeled
as an over-the-counter monograph drug. If the Food and Drug
AdministrationFDA asserts that theMannatech's
other product claims cause it toshould be considered new drugs or fall within the scope of
over-the-counter monographs, Mannatech would be required to file a new drug
application and comply with the applicable monographs or change the claims made
in connection with such products.
Dietary supplements are also subject to the Nutrition, Labeling and
Education Act, which regulates health claims, ingredient labeling and nutrient
content claims characterizing the level of a nutrient in a product. This act
prohibits the use of any specific health claim for dietary supplements unless
the health claim is supported by significant scientific research and is
pre-approved by the Food and Drug Administration.FDA.
The Federal Trade CommissionFTC regulates the marketing practices and advertising of all of
Mannatech's products. In the past several years, the Federal Trade CommissionFTC instituted enforcement
actions against several dietary supplement companies for false and misleading
marketing practices and advertising of certain products. These enforcement
actions have
16
resulted in consent decrees and monetary payments by the companies involved. The Federal
Trade Commission has also increased its reviewIn
addition to conveying product claims clearly and accurately, marketers must
verify that there is adequate support for their claims. Under FTC regulations,
before disseminating an advertisement, advertisers must have a reasonable basis
for all express and implied product claims. What constitutes a reasonable basis
is determined by what claims are being made, how the claims are presented in
the context of the useentire ad and how the claims are qualified. The FTC's
standard for evaluation of the typesubstantiation is sufficiently flexible to ensure
that consumers have access to information about emerging areas of testimonials Mannatech uses in its business. The Federal Trade Commissionscience but
requires reasonable evidence proving product claims at the time that such claims are
first made. The failure to have this evidence when product claims are first
made violates the Federal Trade Commission Act. Although the Federal
Trade CommissionFTC has never
14
threatened anany enforcement action against Mannatech for the advertising of its
products, thereMannatech can begive no assurance that the Federal Trade CommissionFTC will not question Mannatech'sits
advertising or other operations in the future.
Mannatech cannot predict the contents of any future laws, regulations,
interpretations or applications or the future impact of different governmental
regulations; however, any or all of such requirements maybe costly to
Mannatech. Future regulations could require Mannatech to:
. change in the way it conducts business;
. change its product contents;
. keep additional records;
. increase the available documentation of its product properties; and/or
. increase or use different labelingDirect Selling and scientific proof of product

Network MarketingNetwork-Marketing System. Mannatech's network marketingdirect selling
and network-marketing system, which includes Mannatech's compensationits associates global incentive
plan, is controlled by a number of governmental regulations including various
federal and state statutes and regulations, and is administered by the Federal Trade
Commission,FTC, various state
authorities and foreign government agencies. The legal requirements controlling network marketinggoverning
direct selling and network-marketing organizations are, in part, directed to
ensure that product sales are ultimately made to consumers. In addition,
achievement within these organizations must be based on salesthe sale of products
rather than compensation fromfor the recruitment of additional associates,
investments in the organizations or other non-retail sales-related criteria.
For instance, various states or provinces limit the amount associates may earn
from commissions on sales by other associates that are not directly sponsored
by the associate. Mannatech believes it has and willplans to continue to obtain regulatory approval of
its network marketingdirect selling and network-marketing system in jurisdictions that require
such approval. If regulatory approval is not required, Mannatech relies on theand
often seeks advice offrom outside counsel to ensure regulatory compliance.
Mannatech is also subject to inquiries and enforcement actions from the
various state attorney general offices. Each state has its own state acts
called "Little FTC Acts." Each of these state's acts is usually similar to the
requirements of the federal laws. As a result of contentscertain statements contained
in an associate'sassociates' self-generated literature, the Michigan Attorney General's
office contacted Mannatech in the summer of 1999 and asked Mannatech to provide
data maintained under a consent decree. In addition, theThe Michigan Attorney General also
requested documentation of the measures taken to address the associate's
conduct, the measures implemented in order to prevent a violation of the decree
from occurring and the measures that would be implemented in the future to help
ensure compliance with the consent decree. Mannatech cooperated with Michigan's
Attorney General's office and believes that it has fully complied with this
request. In order to comply with the State of Michigan's Franchise Investment
lawLaw against involuntary inventory stockpiling, Mannatech monitorsmonitored its
associates in the
state of Michigan by conducting random audits of itsMichigan associates in Michigan to
identify evidence of stockpiling and coerced sales. To date, Mannatech has
found no evidence of coerced sales or stockpiling by its associates in
Michigan. Mannatech designed its associates' policies and procedures to provide
no incentive or reward to an associate for engaging in such activities. The
Michigan consent decree expired in March 2001.
In Canada, Mannatech's network marketing systemdirect selling and network-marketing is regulated
by both national and provincial law. Under Canada's Federal Competition Act,

territories other than Ontario have legislation requiring that Mannatech
register or become licensed as a direct seller within that province. Licensing
is designed to maintain the standards of the direct selling industry and to
protect the consumer. Some provinces require that both Mannatech and its
associates be licensed.licensed as direct sellers. Mannatech believes that it holds all
of the required provincial or territorial direct sellers' licenses.
In Australia, Mannatech's network marketingdirect selling and network-marketing system is

Competition
The size of the nutritional supplementssupplement industry is largehas steadily increased and
remains intensely competitive. Mannatech competes directly with companies that
manufacture and market similar nutritional products with similar product lines, including:

.o Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc.;
.o Twinlab Corporation;
.o Usana, Inc.;
. Natureso Nature's Sunshine Products, Inc.; and

Nutritional supplements are offered for sale in a variety of ways. While
Mannatech believes that consumers appreciate the convenience of ordering
products from home through a sales person or the Internet, the buying habits of
many consumers who purchasedpurchase products through traditional retail methods are
difficult to change. The number of Mannatech's products in each product
category is also relatively small compared to the wide variety of products
offered by many other nutritional product companies.
Mannatech also competes for new associates with other retail, direct selling

educational tools and its high-quality, proprietary and quality products. Because the pool
of individuals interested in direct selling is limited in each market,
available recruits are reduceddecrease when other network marketingnetwork-marketing companies successfully
recruit these people into their businesses.
Employees
As of December 31, 2000,2001, Mannatech employed 263240 people in the United
States, of which 10 people occupyemployees hold executive postions.positions. Mannatech also employs
1420 people in Australia, 1214 people in the United Kingdom and 1517 people in Japan.
This
number doesThese numbers do not include Mannatech's associates, who are independent
contractors and not employees of Mannatech. Mannatech employees are not
unionized and Mannatech believes it hasmaintains a good relationship with its
employees.
17Risk Factors
In addition to the other information included in this report, the
following risk factors should be considered in evaluating Mannatech's business
and future prospects.
Mannatech's stock price may fluctuate significantly.
The trading price of Mannatech's common stock and the price at which
Mannatech may sell securities in the future, could be subject to significant
fluctuations in response to:
o broad market fluctuations, as well as general economic conditions, in the
United States or internationally;
o quarterly fluctuations in Mannatech's financial results;
o financial and business announcements by Mannatech and its competitors;
and
o the condition of the industry and general financial markets.
19
If Mannatech's international markets are not successful, its business may
suffer.
Mannatech currently operates in the international markets of Canada,
Australia, the United Kingdom and Japan. In its international markets Mannatech
may experience changes in legal and regulatory requirements and or difficulties
in adapting to foreign cultures and business customs. If Mannatech does not
adequately address these problems, its international markets may not meet
growth expectations, which could hurt Mannatech's overall business. Mannatech's
international operations and future expansion plans are subject to political,
economic and social uncertainties, including, among other things:
o inflation;
o the renegotiation or modification of existing agreements;
o increases in tariffs;
o changes and limits in export controls;
o government regulations and laws;
o trademark availability and registration issues;
o changes in exchange rates;
o adverse changes in taxation;
o wars and other hostilities; and
o changes or perception of the direct selling business.
Any changes related to these factors could have a material adverse effect
on Mannatech's business, profitability and growth prospects. Further, Mannatech
may have to incur significant amounts of time and money in distributing and
selling its products in international markets, which will be lost if these
efforts are not successful.
If Mannatech is unable to attract and retain associates its business may
suffer.
Mannatech's success depends largely upon its ability to attract, maintain,
motivate and retain a large base of associates, who in turn enroll additional
associates to purchase and sell products. Mannatech cannot give any assurance
that the number or the productivity of its associates will be sustained at
current levels or increase in the future. Several factors affect Mannatech's
ability to retain a sufficient number of associates, including:
o motivating associates;
o general economic conditions;
o changes in the amount of commissions paid;
o public perception of the industry and direct selling;
o public perception of Mannatech and its products;
o the limited number of people who are interested in pursing direct selling
as a business, and
o competition in recruiting and retaining associates from other direct
selling organizations.
Competition by other direct selling companies for new individuals
interested in direct selling is intense. Mannatech expects that competition
will continue to intensify as direct selling becomes more popular and as more
direct selling organizations enter the marketplace. The pool of individuals
interested in direct selling tends to be limited in each market. Every time
another network-marketing company successfully recruits an individual, the
potential pool of associates is reduced.
Mannatech sales and profits could suffer if:
o Mannatech is unable to attract and retain a sufficient number of
associates;
o Mannatech finds it necessary to terminate a significant number of
associates;
o other network-marketing companies recruit Mannatech's existing
associates, or
o other network-marketing companies deplete the pool of potential
associates in a given market.
20
If Mannatech incurs substantial liability from litigation, complaints or
enforcement actions resulting from associate misconduct, Mannatech's financial
condition could suffer.
Although Mannatech has policies and procedures in place to govern the
conduct of its associates, it is still difficult to detect and correct all
instances of associate misconduct. Violations of Mannatech's policies and
procedures by its associates could lead to litigation, formal or informal
complaints, enforcement actions, and inquiries by various federal, state or
foreign regulatory authorities. Because of Mannatech's expansion into foreign
countries, Mannatech is faced with the challenge and risk of coordinating its
associate policies and procedures to conform to the legal requirements of these
foreign countries. Litigation, complaints or enforcement actions involving
Mannatech and its associates could consume considerable amounts of money and
other corporate resources and could generally have a negative impact on
Mannatech's business profitability and growth prospects.
If government regulations regarding direct selling and network-marketing
systems are changed, interpreted or enforced in a manner adverse to Mannatech's
business, Mannatech may be subject to enforcement actions and material
limitations regarding its business operations.
Mannatech's network-marketing system is subject to extensive governmental
regulation, including federal and state regulation regarding network-marketing
plans and the offer and sale of business opportunities and securities. Any
change in legislation and regulations may hurt Mannatech's business. Further,
significant penalties may be imposed upon Mannatech if it or its associates do
not comply with existing statues or regulations. Violations may result from:
o misconduct by its associates
o the ambiguous nature of statutes;
o regulations and related court decisions;
o the considerable discretion granted to regulatory authorities and the
courts with regard to interpreting and enforcing laws, and
o regulations affecting Mannatech's business.
The nutritional industry market is intensely competitive, and market conditions
and the strengths of Mannatech's competitors may harm its business.
The nutritional supplements market is intensely competitive. Mannatech
also competes with other network-marketing companies for associates.
Mannatech's business profitability and growth prospects may be adversely
affected by market conditions and competition in the future. Many competitors
have much greater name recognition and financial resources than Mannatech has,
which may give them a competitive advantage. Mannatech's competitors may be
able to devote greater resources to marketing, promotional and pricing
campaigns that may influence Mannatech's existing and potential associates to
buy their products rather than Mannatech's.
If Mannatech's business or its products are subject to adverse publicity,
Mannatech's business may suffer.
Mannatech is very dependent upon its associates' perception of the overall
integrity of its business, as well as the safety and quality of its products
and similar products distributed by other companies. The number and motivation
of its associates could decline and Mannatech's business could suffer if
Mannatech or its products are subject to adverse publicity regarding:
o the nutritional supplement industry;
o competitors;
o the legality of network-marketing systems or Mannatech's
network-marketing system specifically;
o the safety and quality of Mannatech's competitors' products and product
ingredients;
o regulatory investigations of Mannatech's products or Mannatech's
competitors products;
o the actions of its associates;
o Mannatech's management of its associates;
o the public's perception of its associates, and
o the direct selling business.
21
If Mannatech's outside suppliers and manufacturers fail to supply its products
in sufficient quantities and in a timely fashion, Mannatech's business may
suffer.
All of Mannatech's products are manufactured by outside manufacturers.
Mannatech's profit margins and ability to deliver its products on a timely
basis are dependent upon the ability of its outside suppliers and manufacturers
to supply quality products in a timely and cost-efficient manner. Mannatech's
ability to enter new markets and sustain satisfactory levels of sales in each
market is dependent upon the ability of its outside manufacturers to
reformulate existing products, if necessary, to comply with local regulations
for market environments. Further, the development of new products in the future
will depend in part on these outside suppliers and manufacturers. The failure
of any manufacturer to supply the products or ingredients of products that
Mannatech requires could have an adverse effect on Mannatech's business,
profitability and growth prospects.
Mannatech believes it has dependable alternative suppliers for all of its
ingredients except Manapol[RegTM] and Arabinogalactan, which are components of
Mannatech's proprietary compounds. Mannatech believes that it can produce or
replace any of its ingredients if its current suppliers are unable to perform;
however, any delay in replacing or substituting such ingredients could affect
Mannatech's business.
If Mannatech is unable to protect its proprietary rights of its products, its
business may suffer.
Proprietary rights are important to Mannatech's success and its
competitive position. Mannatech's success largely depends on its ability to
protect and promote its proprietary rights including:
o Ambrotose[RegTM] complex, a glyconutritional dietary supplement
consisting of a blend of plant polysaccharides, which is a component in
the majority of Mannatech's products,
o Diascorea complex, a blend of herbal extracts; and
o Ambroglycin(TM), a food-mineral matrix, developed to use the latest food
science technology to deliver various dietary supplements in a balanced
food matrix supplement.
Mannatech has filed a composition of matter and use patent application for
Ambrotose[RegTM] complex and has entered into confidentiality agreements with
its suppliers and manufacturers and suppliers to protect its proprietary
rights. Nevertheless, Mannatech continues to face the risks (1) of not
receiving a patent for Ambrotose[RegTM] complex, (2) of receiving a patent much
narrower in scope than Mannatech requested; and (3) that Mannatech has not
properly protected its proprietary rights. Mannatech's business, profitability
and growth prospects will be adversely affected if it fails to protect its
proprietary rights. Mannatech consults with various legal counsel and
consultants to help ensure that it has done everything possible to properly
protect its proprietary rights.
If Mannatech violates various governmental regulations and fails to obtain
necessary regulatory approvals, Mannatech's business may suffer.
Mannatech is subject to and affected by extensive laws, governmental
regulations, administrative determinations, court decisions and similar
constraints at the federal, state and local level in both Mannatech's domestic
and foreign markets. These regulations involve, among other things:
o the formulation, manufacturing, packaging, labeling, distribution,
importation, sale and storage of its products;
o health and safety of food and drugs;
o trade practice laws and direct selling laws;
o product claims and advertising by Mannatech and its associates;
o Mannatech's network-marketing system;
o restrictions on pricing in transactions with Mannatech's foreign
subsidiaries or other related parties and similar regulations that affect
Mannatech's level of foreign taxable income;
o the assessment of customs duties;
o taxation of its associates, which in some cases may obligate Mannatech to
collect taxes and maintain appropriate records, and
o export and import restrictions.
22
New regulations could be adopted or existing regulations may change at any
time in a manner that could severely restrict Mannatech's ability to continue
to operate its business in the same manner as it has in the past and would hurt
Mannatech's business. Mannatech may experience complications regarding health
and safety and food and drug regulations for nutritional products. Mannatech's
products may need to be reformulated to comply with any changes in the
requirements. In some foreign countries, nutritional products may be considered
foods, while other countries may consider them drugs. Present or future health
and safety or food and drug regulations could delay or prevent Mannatech's
introduction of new products or suspend or prohibit the sale of existing
products into a given country or marketplace. If Mannatech expands into other
foreign markets, it may be affected by the general stability of foreign
governments and the regulatory environment relating to network-marketing and
its products.
If Mannatech's products are subject to high customs duties, its sales and
competitive position may suffer as compared to locally produced goods. In
addition, import restrictions in certain countries and jurisdictions may limit
Mannatech's ability to import products from the United States.
If Mannatech's direct selling activities do not comply with government
regulations, Mannatech's business may suffer.
Mannatech's direct selling activities are regulated by various
governmental agencies. If a government agency determines that Mannatech has
violated a law or regulation governing direct selling activities, Mannatech's
business, profitability and growth prospects may be hurt. These laws and
regulations are generally intended to prevent fraudulent or deceptive schemes,
often referred to as "pyramid" or "chain sales" schemes, which promise quick
rewards for little or no effort or risk, require high entry costs, use high
pressure recruiting methods and/or do not involve legitimate products.
Mannatech could be in violation of existing regulations as a result of, among
other things, the considerable interpretive and enforcement discretion given to
regulators, as well as misconduct by its associates. In addition, the adoption
of new laws or regulations, changes in the interpretation of existing laws or
regulations and inquiries by government agencies into Mannatech's operations
could generate negative publicity, which could have a negative impact on the
motivation and recruitment of associates and Mannatech's business.
If Mannatech is exposed to product liability claims, it may be liable for
damages and expenses, which could hurt its financial condition.
Mannatech may face financial exposure to product liability claims if the
use of its products results in an allegation of loss or injury. To date,
Mannatech has not been the subject of significant product liability claims.
Mannatech may be exposed to future product liability claims, including, among
other claims, that its products contain contaminants or include inadequate
instructions regarding use or inadequate warnings concerning side effects and
interactions with other substances. Although Mannatech and both its suppliers
and manufacturers maintain product liability insurance coverage, potential
product liability claims may exceed the amount of insurance coverage or
potential product liability claims may be excluded under the terms of the
policy, which could hurt Mannatech's financial condition.
Mannatech sells GlycoLEAN BODY SYSTEM[RegTM] ACCELERATOR(TM) and MVP, which
contain ephedrine. Recently, products containing ephedrine have been the
subject of adverse publicity in the United States and other countries relating
to alleged harmful effects, including the deaths of several individuals. The
FDA is proposing regulations that, if adopted, would subject any products
containing ephedrine to its labeling requirements and could possibly require
such products to be reformulated. Any negative publicity or product liability
claims that stem from products containing ephedrine could hurt Mannatech's
business. Moreover, depending on claims made, the FDA could regulate it as a
drug, thus requiring product approval prior to marketing. In addition, certain
states, including Texas and Nebraska, have begun to regulate products
containing ephedrine, including labeling requirements. As a precaution
Mannatech has voluntarily reformulated its GlycoLEAN BODY SYSTEM[RegTM]
ACCELERATOR(TM) to include a non-ephedrine ingredient and renamed it GlycoLEAN
BODY SYSTEM[RegTM] ACCELERATOR2.(TM) Mannatech is currently exploring an
ephedrine free ingredient for its MVP product. Sales for MVP were $3.7 million,
$2.0 million and $1.4 million in 1999, 2000 and 2001, respectively.
23
Mannatech's directors and officers own a significant amount of its common
stock, giving them influence over corporate transactions and other matters.
Certain of Mannatech's directors and executive officers, together with
their families and affiliates, beneficially own approximately 50.5% of
Mannatech's outstanding common stock. As a result, these individuals are able
to significantly influence Mannatech including the election of a majority of
the board of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. As a
result, various transactions may be delayed, deferred or prevented without the
approval of these shareholders, including:
o transactions, which would result in a change in control;
o mergers and acquisitions;
o tender offers,
o election of directors; and
o proxy contests.
If this happens, Mannatech's shareholders may not have the opportunity to
sell their shares for more than the then-prevailing market price of Mannatech's
common stock and the market price of its common stock may decline.
If Mannatech's information technology systems fail, Mannatech's operations
could suffer.
Mannatech's business is very dependent upon information technology and its
related systems to manage and operate many of its key business functions,
including:
o order processing;
o customer service;
o distribution of products;
o commission processing,
o cash receipts and payments; and
o financial reporting.
If Mannatech's information technology system fails, Mannatech may not be
able to conduct its day-to-day business. Depending upon the severity and
duration of the failure and the ability to remedy the cause, Mannatech's
business could be hurt; however, Mannatech has developed a comprehensive
service continuity plan to address any disruption of its business.
If provisions of Mannatech's articles of incorporation, bylaws and laws in the
state of Texas relating to purchases or sales of large amounts of common stock
or assets are triggered, the price investors might be willing to pay for
Mannatech's common stock in the future could be limited.
Provisions of Mannatech's current articles of incorporation, bylaws and
the Texas Business Corporation Act may discourage unsolicited proposals to
acquire Mannatech, even if the proposal is beneficial to its shareholders. In
addition, Mannatech's bylaws provide for classes of directors on its board of
directors with members of each class serving staggered terms of three years.
Additionally, Mannatech's board of directors is authorized, without shareholder
approval, to issue up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock having such
rights, preferences and privileges as the board of directors designates.
Moreover, the Texas Business Corporation Act restricts, subject to exceptions,
business combinations with any "affiliated shareholder." These provisions may
delay, deter or prevent a takeover of Mannatech and could limit the price
investors might be willing to pay for Mannatech's common stock in the future.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings
In October 1997, Mannatech filed a Notice of Objection to the issuance of
a registered trademark being issued to IntraCell Nutrition, Inc., which had
filed a trademark application for the name "Manna." On May 19, 2000,
Mannatech's Notice of Opposition to the issuance of a registered trademark
issued to IntraCell Nutrition, Inc. for the name "Manna" was rejected. To date,
no action has been filed against Mannatech by IntraCell, which would contend
any infringement by Mannatech on that of IntraCell. If IntraCell brings any
infringement action against Mannatech, an adverse determination could have an
adverse effect on Mannatech's business, results of operations, financial
condition and liquidity.
On August 20, 1999, Mannatech filed a lawsuit against Dr. Daryl See in the
United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas alleging, among
other things, that he misled Mannatech when he claimed that one of his studies,
which Mannatech used to illustrate the positive effects of its products had
been funded by the National Institutes of Health and conducted under the
auspices of the University of California-Irvine. On May 22, 2000, Mannatech
agreed to dismiss all claims against Dr. Daryl See. Under the terms of the
settlement agreement, Dr. See's conduct was restricted regarding Mannatech, its
products and associates.
On February 24, 2000, Ms. Caroline Rivers filed a class action complaint
against Mannatech and three other defendants, in the District Court, County of
Boulder, State of Colorado alleging breach of contract, negligence and that the
defendants were marketing and selling illegal health insurance policies. On
June 29, 2000, Mannatech's Motion for Dismissal was granted and all claims
relating to the uncertified class action complaint were dismissed against
Mannatech.
18
On May 30, 2000, Mannatech filed suit for breach of contract in the United
States District Court of the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division,
against Gryphon Advisors II, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company.
Mannatech alleged amounts billed for out-of-pocket expenses and advisory
service fees totaling $1.6 million were unreasonable and that Gryphon Advisors
breached the advisory agreement. Under the Advisory agreement, Gryphon was to
provide advice on potential financing opportunities, acquisitions, the
financial management of Mannatech, all aspects of its capital structure,
capital-raising transactions and assist Mannatech in evaluating potential
acquisition targets. On June 26, 2000, Gryphon Advisors filed a cross-action
suit for breach of contract and fraud seeking the payment of $1.6 million and
exemplary damages. On March 1, 2001, Mannatech and Gryphon Advisors agreed to
dismiss its respective claims with prejudice and Mannatech agreed to pay
Gryphon Advisors $650,000 over a 12-monthtwelve-month period.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
The following discussion is intended to assist in the understanding of
Mannatech's financial position and results of its operations for the three
years ended December 31, 2000.2001. This discussion should be read in conjunction
with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes in Item 14,14. of this
report, beginning on page F-1.
Unless stated otherwise, all financial information
presented below, throughout this reportCompany Overview and in the Consolidated Financial
StatementsCritical Accounting Policies and related Notes includes Mannatech and all of its subsidiaries on
a consolidated basis.
OverviewEstimates
Mannatech develops and sellsinnovative, high-quality, proprietary nutritional
supplements, and topical products inand weight-management products that are sold
through a global network-marketing system throughout the United States, Canada,
Australia, the United Kingdom and Japan,Japan. Currently, Mannatech operates as a
single segment and primarily sells its products through a worldwide network marketing system of
approximately 237,000192,000 active associates and members. Mannatech defines an
"active associate" as an associate or member who has purchased Mannatech
products within the last twelve months.
Mannatech's significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to its
Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes in Item 14. of March 8, 2001, comparedthis report.
In response to approximately 269,000 active
associatesSEC Release No. 33-8040, "Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure
About Critical Accounting Policies," Mannatech has identified certain of its
policies as being of March 9, 2000.particular importance to the portrayal of its financial
position and results of operations and which require the application of
significant judgment by Mannatech's diluted earnings (loss) per share was ($0.30)management. Mannatech analyzes its
estimates including inventory write-downs, tax valuation allowances,
contingencies and litigation and bases, its estimates on Mannatech's historical
experience and various other assumptions that may be reasonable under the
circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different
assumptions or conditions. Mannatech's critical accounting policies include the
following:
o Inventory write-downs are established when Mannatech determines that the
market value of any inventory item is less than the cost of such item.
The determination is based on assumptions about future sales and
disposition plans. If actual sales are less favorable then those
projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be
required.
o Property and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever an event or
change in circumstances indicates the carrying amount of an asset or
group of assets may not be recoverable. The impairment review includes a
comparison of future projected cash flows generated by the asset or group
of assets with its associated carrying value. If the carrying value of
the asset or group of assets exceeds expected cash flows (undiscounted
and without interest charges), an impairment loss is recognized to the
extent the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value.
o Mannatech evaluates the probability of realizing the future benefits of
any net deferred tax assets and records a valuation allowance for a
portion or all of the net deferred tax assets when it is more likely than
not that such portion, or all of such deferred tax assets, may not be
realized. Mannatech has established a valuation allowance totaling $2.6
million for the year endednet deferred tax asset related to the net operating
losses of its Japan operations.
o Mannatech adopted Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 "Revenue Recognition
in Financial Statements" ("SAB 101") in the fourth quarter of 2000. Under
SAB 101, Mannatech recognizes revenue for product sales upon the receipt
of the products by the associate or member. Beginning in 2000, Mannatech
defers all of its revenues until the associate or member receives the
shipment.
o Mannatech also defers a portion of the revenue received from the sale of
starter and renewal packs when the revenue exceeds the total average
wholesale value of all individual items included in such packs and
amortizes such deferrals over a twelve-month period. Some of the more
expensive packs also contain an event admission pass, which allows an
associate free admission to a corporate sponsored event. Revenues from
these packs are allocated between products and event admission based on
the proportionate average fair value of products and the allocated event
admission. The allocated event admission revenue contained in these pack
sales is also amortized over a twelve-month period. Total net deferred
revenue was $691,000 and $433,000 at December 31, 2000 compared to $0.43 per share in 1999. This decrease was
primarily due to the following:
. a decrease in sales of $29.7 million;
. incurring approximately $4.1 million in expenses related to its Internet
website subsidiary, Internet Health Group, Inc., which includes: funding
its operating losses, recording a write-off of its fixed asset software
of $870,000, a write-off of its inventory of $837,000 and the
cancellation of various agreements relating to closing its operations as
of December 29, 2000 totaled approximately $332,000;
. incurring $4.2 million for start-up expenses relating to the expansion
into Japan; and
. accruing $1.0 million for various severance packages2001,
respectively.
o Mannatech capitalizes qualifying costs related to the former Chief Operating Officerdevelopment of
International Operationsinternal use software pursuant to Statement Of Position No. 98-1,
"Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for
Internal Use" ("SOP 98-1"). SOP 98-1 requires capitalization of
qualifying costs after the conceptual formulation stage has been
completed. Such costs are amortized over the estimated useful life of the
software, which are three to five years.

General Summary
Mannatech's net sales consist of sales from products sold, starter and
former
Chief Information Officer.renewal packs sold and shipping fees. Substantially all product sales are made
to associates at published wholesale prices and are sold to members at a
discount from suggested retail pricing. Starter and renewal packs consist of
various combinations of products and promotional materials. Mannatech tries to
offer a comparable associate starter pack in each country in which it does
business; however, because each country has different regulatory guidelines
that must be followed, not all of Mannatech's packs are offered in all
countries. Mannatech defers the recognition of revenue for product sales until
its associates or members receive the products. In 2001, Mannatech increased
some of the sale prices of certain of its products starter and renewal packs and shipping fees; however, it believes the negative
trend in sales will continue into the first half of 2001.fees. In the future,
Mannatech expects its international operations to account for an increasing
percentage of consolidated net sales. The net sales by country as a percentage
of consolidated net sales wereare as follows:

(*) Mannatech began operations in Japan in June 2000.
Net sales decreased in all other countries in 2001 except for the United States, Canada and Australia continue to decreaseits Japan
operations, which reported an increase in net sales in 2001 as compared to the
same period in 1999.2000, which was the result of operating in Japan for a full
year. Mannatech believes the decrease in net sales for 2001 is due to a number
of factors including the following:
. its associates in the United States, Canada and Australia concentrating
their effortsincluding:
o general economic conditions;
o associates' continuing to focus on the development of Mannatech's presenceproposed changes to the global
incentive plan, which is projected to be implemented in the United
Kingdom and Japan;
. some of itsmid 2002;
o associates exploring new competitive Internet networking
companies as another way to supplement their income;
. associates' concerns about recent management changes; and
21
. concerns about the decline of Mannatech's stock price which may, in part
may have resulted from unanticipated selling pressure.
On October 28, 2000,price.
To help stimulate net sales, Mannatech introduced a new product, ImmunoStart(TM)
Chewables, which helps trigger immune responses. In March 2001, Mannatech
introduced a chewable multi-vitamin for children called Glyco-Bears(TM).
Mannatech also intends to introduce otherthree new products duringin
2001 which it
hopes will further complement its current products and help boost net sales.
Mannatech's revenues are primarily derived from salesplans to improve some of its products to ensure they maintain
high-quality levels. The new products introduced in 2001 included the
following:
o GLYCO-BEARS[RegTM], introduced in March 2001, a children's multivitamin
especially formulated for children between the ages of 4 to 14 that help
to provide 26 essential vitamins, minerals and associate starterother vital nutrients;
o Glycentials(TM) Vitamin, Ambroglycin(TM) Mineral and renewal packs, which include some combinationAntioxidant Formula,
introduced in August 2001, a dietary supplement that helps provide a
balanced food matrix of itsvitamins, chelated minerals, trace minerals,
antioxidant co-factors and Ambrotose[RegTM] complex; and
o CardioBALANCE(TM) Heart Care Formula, introduced in October 2001, a
dietary supplement that helps provide a wide range of specific
nutritional benefits designed to aid in keeping an already healthy
cardiovascular system strong and well.
Costs of sales primarily consist of cost of products purchased from
third-party manufacturers, costs of promotional materials sold to Mannatech's
associates and write-downs of inventory. As the mix of products and promotional
materials. The purchasematerial shifts, costs of a starter or renewal pack
allowssales and gross profit may fluctuate due to the
associate to purchase products at wholesale prices. Ifdifferent margins on each product sold.
Mannatech's most significant expense is commissions. When Mannatech
expanded internationally, it integrated the associate
purchases a pack with a wholesale price of $300 or higher, the associate also
received a $50 credit toward admission to one of Mannatech's corporate events.
In January 2001, Mannatech made changes to somemajority of its packs including a change
in product mix, price changes and the discontinuation of the credit toward
admission. Mannatech tries to offer a comparable associate starter pack in each
countryassociate's global
incentive plan across all markets in which it does business; however, each country has different
regulatory guidelines that must be followed and therefore notits products were sold, thereby
allowing all of Mannatech's packs are offered in all countries.its existing associates to receive commissions for direct and
indirect global product sales. This global structure allows associates to build
their global networks by expanding their existing downlines into newly-formed
international markets rather than having to establish new downlines to
requalify for higher levels of commissions within each new country. Mannatech
adopted Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 "Revenue Recognition in
Financial Statements" ("SAB 101") in the fourth quarter of 2000. Under SAB 101,
Mannatech is required to defer the recognition of revenues until the associate
receives the products shipped. The adoption of SAB 101 resulted in a cumulative
effect of accounting change of approximately $210,000, net of tax of $126,000.
On average, the wholesale value of the nutritional and topical products
contained in each of Mannatech's starter and renewal packs is between 60% and
70% of the total wholesale value of the packs and the remainder of the total
wholesale value consists ofpays its associates various promotional materials and products. If the
pack contains a credit toward admission to a corporate event, the revenue from
the promotional pack is allocated between product revenue and the corporate
event admission based on the proportionate fair value of these items. Mannatech
defers revenue received from the sale of its promotional packs to the extent
that the sales price is greater than the wholesale value of the individual
items included in such packs. Allocated corporate event admission revenues are
also deferred. All deferred revenue is amortized over a twelve-month period.
Total deferred revenue was approximately $845,000 at December 31, 1999 and
$691,000 at December 31, 2000.
Mannatech compensates its 7 associates by commissions and incentives which
isbased upon the
associates' direct and indirect product sales and expansion of their downlines.
29
In late 2001, Mannatech outlined its most significant expense; however,overall plans to change its global
associate incentive plan to eliminate the commission structure is designed
notpaid only in the United
States and Canada, which rewards associates for building their network and
increases the payout of all other existing commissions paid in order to
materially exceed 42% of commissionable net sales. Mannatech plans to
announce some changes to its worldwide compensation plans, yet offer more
bonusesconcentrate commission payments on product sales and incentive programs and revamp the training program for its
associates. The changes would simplify the compensation plan but would not
change the total commission paid as a percentage of net sales. Commissionsnetwork development.
Currently, commissions and incentives are paid to associates based on the
following:
.o associates' placement and position within the compensationincentive plan;
.o volume of their direct and indirect commissionable sales;
22
.o number of new enrollednewly-enrolled associates; and
.o achievement of certain levels to qualify for various incentive programs.
Operating expenses consist primarily of selling and administrative
expenses and other operating costs. Selling and administrative expenses are a
combination of both fixed and variable expenses and include compensation,
shipping and freight and marketing expenses. Other operating costs include
utilities, depreciation, travel, consulting, professional fees, office
expenses, printing expenses and miscellaneous operating expenses.
Income taxes include both domestic and foreign taxes. In 2000 and 2001,
Mannatech's United States federal statutory tax rate was 34%. Mannatech pays
taxes in Australia at a statutory tax rate of approximately 36% and in the
United Kingdom at a statutory tax rate of approximately 31%30%. Mannatech expects
to pay taxes in Japan at a statutory tax rate ranging between 42% and 48%.;
however, since its inception Mannatech has only reported net operating losses
in Japan. Mannatech also pays taxes in various state jurisdictions at an
approximate average effective tax rate of 3%. Due to its international
operations, a portion of Mannatech's income will be subject to taxation in the
countries in which it operates; however, it may receive foreign tax credits
that would reduce the amount of United States taxes owed. Mannatech may not be
able to use all of such foreign tax credits in the United States. Mannatech may
also incur net operating losses that may not be fully realizable. Mannatech
records a valuation allowance for any expected net operating losses, which may
not be able to be realized in the future.
Mannatech reported loss per share of ($0.15) in 2001 as compared to
($0.30) per share in 2000. The loss per share was the result of the following:
o a decrease in net sales of $21.3 million;
o recording severance charges of approximately $3.4 million relating to
various former executive officers; partially offset by
o a reduction in total selling and administrative expenses and other
operating expenses of $13.9 million.

Year ended December 31, 2001 compared with the year ended December 31, 2000
Net sales. Net sales decreased (14.2%) to $128.7 million in 2001 from
$150.0 million in 2000 primarily due to a 19.0% decrease in active associates,
which was partially offset by a $2.0 million increase in net sales by its Japan
subsidiary due to a full year of operations and the introduction of the
following three new products: GLYCO-BEARS[RegTM], Glycentials(TM) Vitamin,
Ambroglycin(TM) Mineral and Antioxidant Formula and CardioBALANCE.(TM)
Cost of sales. Cost of sales decreased (13.3%) to $23.5 million in 2001
from $27.1 million in 2000. As a percentage of net sales, cost of sales
slightly increased to 18.3% in 2001 from 18.0% in 2000. The increase in cost of
sales as a percentage of net sales was primarily due to the establishment of
inventory reserves totaling $1.2 million for inventory write-downs. The
write-down is the result of the remaining start-up inventories in Mannatech's
foreign operations approaching expiration dates.
Commissions. Commissions decreased (15.7%) to $52.0 million in 2001 from
$61.7 million in 2000. As a percentage of net sales, commissions decreased to
40.4% in 2001 from 41.2% in 2000. The decrease as a percentage of sales was the
result of a decrease in commissionable sales as a percentage of total sales.
The dollar decrease was the direct result of a decrease in net sales reflecting
a decline in the number of active associates, which was partially offset by the
introduction of two new associate incentive programs, including the power plan
and team plan bonuses.
Gross profit. Gross profit decreased (13.1%) to $53.2 million in 2001 from
$61.2 million in 2000. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased to
41.3% in 2001 from 40.8% in 2000. These changes were primarily attributable to
the factors described above.
Selling and administrative expenses. Selling and administrative expenses
decreased (14.2%) to $30.8 million in 2001 from $35.9 million in 2000. As a
percentage of net sales, selling and administrative expenses slightly decreased
to 23.9% in 2001 from 24.0% in 2000. The dollar decrease was primarily due to
the following:
31
o a ($2.1) million decrease in compensation, including wages and contract
labor due primarily to the termination of various highly paid executives
during 2001, partially offset by compensation related to the replacement
of some of these executives;
o a ($1.1) million decrease in freight costs related to the decrease in net
sales;
o a ($1.7) million decrease in expenses related to various
corporate-sponsored events that were held in 2000 relating to Mannatech's
international expansion, including the Japan grand opening event; and
o a ($200,000) decrease in various marketing expenses.
Other operating costs. Other operating costs decreased (27.8%) to $22.9
million in 2001 from $31.7 million in 2000. As a percentage of net sales, other
operating costs decreased to 17.8% in 2001 from 21.1% in 2000. The dollar
decrease was primarily due to the following:
o a ($5.7) million decrease for travel, accounting, rent, third party
contractors and consulting services related to the international
expansion;
o a ($1.5) million decrease in telephone, postage and credit card fees,
which directly relate to the decrease in net sales;
o an ($800,000) decrease in operating expenses as a result of the reduction
of property taxes and miscellaneous operating expenses; and
o an ($800,000) decrease from canceling various other contracts in 2000
related to Internet Health Group, Inc.
Write-off of a fixed asset. In the second quarter of 2000, Mannatech
determined its Internet subsidiary, Internet Health Group, Inc. fixed asset
with a book value of $870,000, was impaired and should be written-off. The
write-off was a result of the continuation of the poor performance of the
subsidiary, which discontinued operations as of December 29, 2000. During 2001,
Mannatech did not write-off any assets.
Severance Charges. In the second quarter of 2001, Mannatech accrued
various severance charges totaling $3.4 million for various executive officers.
The severance charges are due at various times through 2004.
Interest income. Interest income decreased (59.8%) to $275,000 in 2001
from $684,000 in 2000. As a percentage of net sales, interest income decreased
to 0.2% in 2001 from 0.5% in 2000. The decrease was primarily due to Mannatech
using its cash to fund current year operations, including the funding of its
international markets.
Interest expense. Interest expense decreased (53.6%) to $32,000 in 2001
from $69,000 in 2000. As a percentage of net sales, interest expense decreased
to 0.0% in 2001 from 0.1% in 2000. The dollar decrease was primarily due to the
repayment of existing capital leases and the repayment of a note payable to a
finance company for insurance premiums.
Other expense, net. Other expense, net consists of foreign currency
translation adjustments related to Mannatech's United Kingdom and Australia
operations and miscellaneous non-operating items. Other expense, net decreased
(85.1%) to $83,000 in 2001 from $558,000 in 2000. As a percentage of net sales,
other expense, net decreased to 0.0% in 2001 from 0.4% in 2000. In 2001, other
expense, net primarily consisted of currency translation exchange losses. In
2000, other expense, net consisted primarily of currency translation exchange
losses, sales tax payments and tax penalties.
Income tax (expense) benefit. Income tax (expense) benefit decreased to
$104,000 in 2001 from $1.2 million in 2000. Mannatech's effective tax rate
decreased to 2.8% in 2001 from 14.8% in 2000. Mannatech's effective tax rate
decreased primarily as a result of the increase of its valuation allowance for
the net operating losses from its Japan subsidiary.
Cumulative effect of accounting change, net of tax. In the fourth quarter
of 2000, Mannatech adopted Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 "Revenue
Recognition in Financial Statements" ("SAB 101"), which resulted in a one-time
charge of $210,000, net of tax of $126,000 for the cumulative effect of the
accounting change. SAB 101 requires Mannatech to defer recognition of revenues
until associates receive products.
Net income (loss). Net income (loss) decreased to ($3.7) million in 2001
from ($7.3) million in 2000. As a percentage of net sales, net income (loss)
decreased to (2.8%) in 2001 from (4.9%) in 2000. The dollar decrease was
primarily the result of the 19.0% decrease in active associates and recording
$3.4 million in severance charges relating to former executives.
32
Year ended December 31, 2000 compared with the year ended December 31, 1999
Net Sales.sales. Net sales decreased (16.5%) to $150.0 million in 2000 from
$179.7 million in 1999. This1999 primarily due to an 11.9% decrease in active associates
that was primarily composed of the following:
.partially offset by a $5.0$3.7 million increase in net sales from opening
operations in Japan on June 26, 2000 and the saleintroduction of two new products,
introduced during
2000, including the Optimal Health Pack(TM)IMMUNOSTART(TM) and ImmunoStart(TM)
Chewables;
23
. a ($29.8) million decrease in existing product sales resulting from a
decrease in the volume of products sold, and
. a decrease of ($4.9) million from associate pack sales. Of this ($4.9)
million decrease, approximately ($4.2) million resulted from an overall
decrease in the number of associate packs sold to new associates. The
additional decrease of approximately ($700,000) resulted from a decrease
in the number of associate renewal packs sold. Mannatech is exploring
ways and strategies to increase associate pack and renewal pack sales.OPTIMAL HEALTH PACK.(TM)
Cost of Sales.sales. Cost of sales decreased (6.9%) to $27.1 million in 2000
from $29.1 million in 1999. As a percentage of net sales, cost of sales
increased to 18.0% in 2000 from 16.2% in 1999. The increase in cost of sales as
a percentage of net sales was primarily due to thean inventory write-off of
Internet Health Group, Inc. and a change in the product mix of finished goods sold.
The dollar decrease was primarily due to:
.to the write-off of approximately
$837,000 for the inventory of Internet Health Group, Inc.;
., a $300,000 write-off of
approximately $300,000 for obsolete sales aids;aids and
. a decrease in volume of finished goods sold.
Commissions. Commissions consist of payments to associates for sales
activity and downline growth. Commissions decreased (16.2%) to $61.7 million in 2000 from
$73.6 million in 1999. As a percentage of net sales, commissions increased to
41.2% in 2000 from 40.9% in 1999. The increase as a percentage of sales was the
result of the introduction of two new incentive programs during 2000.2000, including
the car bonus and "fast-start" programs. The dollar decrease was the direct
result of a decrease in the number of associate packs sold,active associates, which was partially
offset by the introduction of two new associate incentive programs for associates, which includes the car bonus and "fast-
start" programs.
Gross Profit.profit. Gross profit decreased (20.5%) to $61.2 million in 2000 from
$77.0 million in 1999. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit decreased to
40.8% in 2000 from 42.9% in 1999. These changes were primarily attributable to
the factors described above.
Selling and Administrative Expenses. Selling and administrative expenses
include wages, bonuses, shipping and freight and marketing expenses and are a
mixture of both fixed and variable expenses. Selling and administrative expenses

percentage of net sales, selling and administrative expenses increased to 24.7%24.0%
in 2000 from 19.4% in 1999 due to a decrease in net sales, which did notMannatech's inability to reduce thesome of its

operating costs increased to 21.1% in 2000 from 14.5% in 1999. The dollar
increase was primarily due to the following:
.o a $4.6 million increase for travel, accounting, building rent and consulting
services related to theits international expansion;
24
.o recording $600,000 for the settlement of the Gryphon Advisors L.L.C.

with a book value of $870,000, was impaired and should be written-off. The
write-off was a result of the continuation of the poor performance of the
subsidiary, which discontinued operations as of December 29, 2000.
Severance charges. In the fourth quarter of 2000, Mannatech accrued
various severance charges, totaling $1.2 million related to the resignation of
its Chief Operating Officer of International Operations and various other
executives.
Interest Income.income. Interest income decreased (4.1%) to $684,000 in 2000 from
$713,000 in 1999. As a percentage of net sales, interest income increased to
0.5% in 2000 from 0.4% in 1999. The dollar decrease was primarily due to using
its investments to fund Mannatech's current year operations, including the funding of its
international expansion.
Interest Expense.expense. Interest expense decreased (54.0%) to $69,000 in 2000
from $150,000 in 1999. As a percentage of net sales, interest expense remained
the same at 0.1% in 2000 and in 1999.1999, respectively. The

($1.2)$1.2 million in 2000 from $5.7($5.7) million in 1999. Mannatech's effective tax
rate decreased to 14.8% in 2000 from 34.7% in 1999. Mannatech's effective tax
rate decreased primarily as a result of the establishment of a valuation
allowance for the net operating losses from its Japan subsidiary.
Cumulative Effecteffect of Accounting Change.accounting change, net of tax. In the fourth quarter
of 2000, Mannatech adopted Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 "Revenue
Recognition in Financial Statements" ("SAB 101"), which resulted in a one-time
charge of $210,000, net of tax of $126,000 for the cumulative effect of the
accounting change. SAB 101 requires Mannatech to defer the recognition of revenues
until the associates receive products shipped by Mannatech.products.
Net Incomeincome (loss). Net income (loss) decreased to ($7.3) million in 2000
from $10.8 million in 1999. As a percentage of net sales, net income (loss)
decreased to (4.9%) in 2000 from 6.0% in 1999. The dollar decrease was due to net sales
decreasing by 16.5%,a direct
result of the 11.9% decrease in active associates and recording expenses incurred
related to its international expansion,
recording various severance packages and discontinuing
operations of Internet Health Group, Inc.
Year ended December 31, 1999 compared with the year ended December 31, 1998
Net Sales. Net sales increased 9.0% to $179.7 million in 1999 from $164.9
million in 1998. This increase was primarily composed of the following:
. a $7.8 million increase from the sale of several new products introduced
during 1999;
. a $4.5 million increase in existing product sales resulting from an
increase in the volume of products sold and having operations in
Australia open for the entire fiscal year 1999; and
. an increase of $2.6 million from associate pack sales. Of this $2.6
million increase, approximately $1.5 million resulted from an increase
in the number of associate packs sold to new associates. The additional
increase of $1.1 million resulted from an increase in associate renewal
packs sold. The increase in the number of packs sold is a result of the
international expansion and hiring a marketing firm to concentrate on
the associate renewal program.
25
Cost of Sales. Cost of sales increased 7.3% to $29.1 million in 1999 from
$27.1 million in 1998. As a percentage of net sales, cost of sales decreased to
16.2% for 1999 from 16.5% in 1998. The decrease in cost of sales as a
percentage of net sales was primarily due to changes in the product mix of
finished goods sold. The dollar increase was primarily due to:
. an increase in volume of finished goods sold;
. the recording of $160,000 for recovery of inventory in 1998 which had
been written off in 1997; and
. a write-off of approximately $600,000 for other product changes.
Commissions. Commissions consist of payments to associates for sales
activity and downline growth. Commissions increased 10.4% to $73.6 million in
1999 from $66.7 million in 1998. As a percentage of net sales, commissions
increased to 40.9% in 1999 from 40.4% in 1998. The increase was the direct
result of the following:
. an increase in the number of associate packs sold;
. the introduction of new incentive programs for associates, including the
fast-start program;
. the start of operations in Australia in October 1998; and
. the start of operations in the United Kingdom in November 1999.
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased 8.3% to $77.0 million in 1999 from
$71.1 million in 1998. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit decreased to
42.9% in 1999 from 43.1% in 1998. These changes were primarily attributable to
the factors described above.
Selling and Administrative Expenses. Selling and administrative expenses
include wages, bonuses, shipping and freight and marketing expenses, and are a
mixture of both fixed and variable expenses. Selling and administrative
expenses increased 9.4% to $34.9 million in 1999 from $31.9 million in 1998. As
a percentage of net sales, selling and administrative expenses increased to
19.4% in 1999 from 19.3% in 1998. The dollar increase was due primarily to
sales increases, which increased freight costs by $900,000, and a $2.3 million
increase in wages and contract labor expenses resulting from pay raises and an
increase in personnel for the Australian and United Kingdom operations.
Other Operating Costs. Other operating costs include utilities,
depreciation, travel, office supplies and printing expenses. Other operating
costs increased 16.7% to $26.1 million in 1999 from $22.4 million in 1998. As a
percentage of net sales, other operating costs increased to 14.5% in 1999 from
13.6% in 1998. The dollar increase was primarily due to the following:
. a $750,000 charge for the cancellation of the remaining incentive
contract with Mr. Ray Robbins, as described in the Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements; in Item 14,of this report, beginning
on page F-1;
. $1.7 million for consulting services related to the international
expansion;
. $350,000 for settlement of various lawsuits;
. $225,000 incurred related to the secondary offering for certain existing
shareholders; and
. $200,000 for additional research and development costs related to
opening Mannatech's laboratory facility.
Write-off of Deferred Offering Costs. During August 1998, Mannatech withdrew
its original underwritten institutional/retail offering and recorded a one-time
charge of approximately $847,000.
Interest Income. Interest income increased 675.0% to $713,000 in 1999 from
$92,000 in 1998. As a percentage of net sales, interest income increased to
0.4% in 1999 from 0.1% in 1998. The increase was primarily due to the receipt
of the initial public offering net proceeds, which was invested in interest
bearing accounts and certain investments.
26
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased 183.0% to $150,000 in 1999 from
$53,000 in 1998. As a percentage of net sales, interest expense increased to
0.1% in 1999 from 0.0% in 1998. The increase was due primarily to the signing
of two lease agreements with a bank to purchase various equipment for the
warehouse and laboratory facility.
Other Expense, Net. Other expense consists of penalties related to tax
payments for payroll, income and sales and miscellaneous non-operating items.
Other expense decreased (61.9%) to $114,000 in 1999 from $299,000 in 1998. As a
percentage of net sales, other expense decreased to 0.1% in 1999 from 0.3% in
1998. In 1999, other expense consisted primarily of federal tax penalties. In
1998, other expense consisted primarily of the write-off of abandoned fixed
assets of $250,000.
Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense remained at $5.7 million for both
1999 and 1998; however, Mannatech's effective tax rate decreased to 34.7% in
1999 from 36.4% in 1998. The effective tax rate decreased primarily as a result
of the establishment of a Foreign Sales Corporation and an overall increase in
international sales, which are not subject to state income taxes which averaged
3%.
Net Income. Net income increased 7.3% to $10.8 million in 1999 from $10.1
million in 1998. As a percentage of net sales, net income decreased to 6.0% in
1999 from 6.1% in 1998. The dollar amount of the increase was due to net sales
increasing by 9%, which was partially offset by expenses incurred related to
the international expansion and cancellation of the remaining incentive
compensation contract for $750,000.
Seasonality and Selected Quarterly Statements of Operations
Mannatech believes the impact of seasonality on its results of operations
is minimal. Mannatech has and may continue to experience variations on its
quarterly results of operations in response to, among other things:
.o the timing of the introduction of new products;
.o the recruiting and retention of associates;
.o the general overall economic outlook;
.o the general industry and network marketingnetwork-marketing industry conditions; and
.o the consumer perception of its products and overall operations.
As a result of these and other factors, the quarterly results may vary
significantly in the future. Period-to-period comparisons should not be relied
upon as an indication of future performance since Mannatech can give no
assurances that the revenue growth ratetrends in new markets will follow its historical
pattern. The market price of Mannatech's common stock may also be adversely
affected by the above factors.
27
The following table sets forth the unaudited consolidated quarterly
statement of incomeoperations data for the periods indicated. In Mannatech's opinion,
this information has been prepared on the same basis as its audited
Consolidated Financial Statements set forth in this report and includes all
necessary adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, that
are considered necessary to present fairly this information in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. YouThe reader should read this
information in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and
related Notes in Item 14 of this report, beginning on page F-1.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Historically, Mannatech has funded its business objectives, working
capital and operations through its cash flows from operations. Mannatech's
working capital and cash flow are as follows:
For the year ended December 31,
--------------------------------------------------
Provided by (used in) 2001 2000 1999
- ------------------------ ---------------- ---------------- ----------------
Working capital $5.9 million $7.3 million $11.7 million
Operating activities $7.4 million ($4.6 million) $4.8 million
Investing activities ($1.2 million) ($1.7 million) ($4.6 million)
Financing activities ($2.0 million) $0.6 million $10.6 million
Working capital. In 2001, Mannatech's working capital decreased as a
result of a decrease in net sales, funding $1.8 million in severance payments
to various former executives and reducing its inventories. In 2000, Mannatech's
working capital was reduced by a decrease in net sales, funding approximately
$4.4 million for expansion into Japan and $4.1 million for operating its
Internet subsidiary, Internet Health Group, Inc. Mannatech made the decision to
cease this subsidiary's operations effective December 29, 2000. In 1999,
Mannatech's working capital increased as a result of Mannatech's public
offering, partially offset by funding approximately $600,000 for its expansion
into the United Kingdom and paying approximately $1.3 million in dividends to
its shareholders at the beginning of 1999 related to private operations prior
to the offering. Mannatech believes it can continue to fund its business
objectives, working capital and operations primarily through its current cash
flows from operations.
Operating activities. In 2001, operating activities consisted of a
decrease in various working capital net assets of $7.4 million primarily
related to the reduction of inventory and a refund from income taxes and
recording various non-cash items including depreciation, write-offs and taxes
of $3.7 million, which was partially offset by recording a ($3.7) million net
loss. In 2000, operating activities primarily consisted of its current year net
loss of ($7.3) million, as well as recording various non-cash items including
depreciation, asset write-offs and taxes of $5.5 million. This was partially
offset by a decrease in various working capital net assets of ($2.7) million,
which primarily related to the increase in income tax receivable and the
decrease in accrued expenses. In 1999, operating activities consisted of a
decrease in various working capital net assets of ($12.2) million offset by
recording net income of $10.8 million and various non-cash items of $6.1
million, which primarily included depreciation and a tax benefit related to the
exercising of various nonqualified stock options during the year.
Investing activities. In 2001, investing activities consisted of ($1.3)
million in capital asset additions related to computer hardware and software,
which included the development costs for Success Tracker,[TM] its database
management tool for its associates, partially offset by the repayment of the
notes receivable due from certain shareholders/affiliates. In 2000, investing
activities consisted of ($4.1) million in capital asset additions related to
computer hardware and software enhancements and the build out of its Japan
facility, which was partially offset by the maturing of investments of $2.3
million and the partial repayment of the notes receivable due from certain
shareholders/affiliates. The investments were primarily used to fund current
operations and to open its Japan subsidiary. In 1999, investing activities
consisted of ($3.2) million in capital asset additions related to certain
enhancements to its computer database system and expansion into Australia and
the United Kingdom and investing ($2.3) million of proceeds from its initial
public offering into various investments. This amount was partially offset by
the $0.9 million repayment received from certain shareholders/affiliates related
to the modification and extension of the notes receivable due from
shareholders/affiliates. The modification of the note formalized the notes,
required the affiliates to pay one-third of the balance owed and then extended
the note for five years. As of December 31, 2001, Mr. Gary Watson, a
shareholder, had not made his annual payment of $7,918. As of March 20, 2002,
the combined annual payments aggregating to $55,426 had not been paid by both
Mr. Gary Watson and Mr. William C. Fioretti. As of December 31, 2001, the
remaining balance owed to Mannatech by these two shareholders totaled $164,680.
Financing activities. In 2001, financing activities consisted of the
repayment of book overdrafts of ($1.5) million and the repurchase of 590,000
share of Mr. Charles E. Fioretti's common stock totaling ($583,333) as agreed
to per the repurchase agreement, with Mr. Fioretti. This agreement was
terminated in September 2001. In addition, financing activities included
($814,000) related to the repayment of notes payable and capital leases,
partially offset by the sale of treasury stock totaling $815,009. In 2000,
financing activities consisted of book overdrafts of $1.5 million and proceeds
of approximately $0.4 million from the exercise of 260,700 stock options, at
prices per share ranging from $1.35 to $2.00 per share, partially offset by the
repayment of various capital leases and notes payable totaling ($730,000). In
1999, financing activities consisted of $12.0
36
million in proceeds from Mannatech's public offering partially offset by $0.6
million in deferred offering costs associated with the offering, proceeds of
approximately $786,000 from the exercise of 564,000 stock options at prices per
share ranging form $1.35 to $2.00 per share and proceeds of $641,000 for the
exercise of 475,015 warrants at a price of $1.35 per share. These net increases
in financing activities were partially offset by the ($853,000) repayment for
various notes payable and capital leases.
Mannatech believes that its existing liquidity and cash flows from
operations, including current cash on hand of $9.9 million, capital resources
and finance company's borrowings, including an operating lease line-of-credit
totaling $250,000, coupled with the continuation of the suspension of dividend
payments to shareholders, should be adequate to fund its business operations and
commitments for the next twelve-months. However, if existing capital resources
or cash flows become insufficient to meet Mannatech's business plans and
existing capital requirements, Mannatech would be required to raise additional
funds, which it cannot assure will be available on favorable terms, if at all.
Existing commitments and obligations include the following:
o funding payments totaling $2.6 million related to the resignations of
former executives in 2001. Under the terms of the various separation
agreements, Mannatech is required to pay an aggregate amount of $2.6
million, of which $1.7 million will be paid over the next twelve-months.
o funding payments of its annual insurance premiums, totaling approximately
$0.3 million, which were financed with a finance company and due in
monthly installments through July 2002. Subsequent to year end, Mannatech
entered into another note payable with another finance company to finance
additional insurance premiums totaling approximately $0.3 million. The
notes are due in monthly installments through July 2002.

Mannatech has no present commitments or agreements with respect to any
acquisitions or purchases of any manufacturing facilities. Mannatech believes
any unanticipated future changes in its operations could consume available
capital resources faster than anticipated. Mannatech also believes that its
existing capital requirements depend on its ability to refine and introduce
high-quality products to attract new associates and to retain and expand its
current associate and member base.
In February 1999, Mannatech received approximately $9.2 million in net
proceeds from the sale of its common stock in its initial public offering. In
the initial public offering, certain existing shareholders sold 1,556,016
shares and Mannatech sold 1,500,000 shares of its common stock at $8.00 per
share. Mannatech used approximately $6.3 million of the proceeds from the
initial public offering for international expansion, including product
registration, initial inventory requirements and similar items. The remaining
$2.9 million was used to fund working capital and for general corporate
purposes.
During 1999, Mannatech also received $641,271 from the exercise of
475,015 outstanding warrants at $1.35 per share and received $785,600 from the
exercise of 563,774 stock options at a prices per share ranging from $1.35 to
$2.00. During 2000, Mannatech received $363,000 from the exercise of 260,700
stock options at prices per share ranging from $1.35 to $2.00.
Mannatech's primary capital requirement is to fund working capital that
historically been financed through operations. As a result of expenditures on
its facilities, equipment and personnel to support its international
expansion, Mannatech's working capital decreased from $11.7 million at
December 31, 1999 to $7.3 million at December 31, 2000. In 1999, Mannatech
invested approximately $600,000 in the expansion into the United Kingdom.
Mannatech paid approximately $1.3 million in dividends to its shareholders in
1999. In 2000, Mannatech invested approximately $4.4 million in its expansion
into Japan and $4.1 million to fund operations for Internet Health Group, Inc.
Mannatech plans to fund its 2001 working capital through its operations.37
In March and August 1998, Mannatech entered into two capital leases with
principal amounts of $631,000 and $841,000, respectively.totaling $1.5 million. These capital leases bearcontained various
financial covenants, accrued interest at 9.3%, are collateralized by certain leased
assets areand were payable in 36thirty-six monthly installments and contain various financial covenants. At December 31,
2000, Mannatech violated the annual cash flow coverage ratio covenant but
obtained a waiver from the bank on March 14, 2001 that waived this violation
at December 31, 2000.installments. In July 1998,
Mannatech also entered into a 36-month,thirty-six month, unsecured note payable with a
finance company to finance a 3-yearthree-year product liability insurance premium. The
initial principal amount of this note was $435,670,$0.4 million, with interest at 8.0%
and was due in monthly installments through December 2000. Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities was $18.1 million, $4.8
million and ($4.6) million in 1998, 1999 and 2000, respectively. In 1998,
operating activities included net income and increases in accrued operating
expenses and inventory. In 1999, operating activities consistedAll of net income,
an increase in inventory, a decrease in accured operating expenses and
recording the tax benefit related to the exercise of warrants and options. In
2000, operating activities included a net loss and increases in income tax
receivable and accrued operating expenses. The increase in accrued operating
expenses was the result of recording severance packages and closing operations
of Internet Health Group, Inc.
Net cash (used in) investing activities was ($4.4) million, ($4.6) million
and ($1.7) million in 1998, 1999 and 2000, respectively. In 1998, these
activities consisted of the relocation of the Texas distribution center, the
29
build-out of the research and development facility and the development and
implementation of its proprietary software. In 1999, these activities
consisted primarily of purchases of computer hardware, continued internal
development of Mannatech's propriety software, furnishings for the Australian
and United Kingdom operations and interest from investments of the net
proceeds from its initial public offering, which were partially offset by the
repayment of notes receivable due from certain shareholders of approximately
$944,000. In 2000, these activities consisted of approximately $4.1 million
for purchases of fixed assets primarily for the Japan operations, offset by
the maturities of investments of $2.3 million and the repayment of the notes
receivable due from certain shareholders of approximately $124,000. Mannatech
believes its facilities and software programs should be sufficient for its
immediate needs.
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities totaled ($12.9)
million, $10.6 million and $0.6 million in 1998, 1999 and 2000, respectively.
In 1998, Mannatech paid dividends on a monthly basis to its shareholders in
the amount of $0.02-$0.06 per share and paid dividends each month until the
completion of the initial public offering on February 12, 1999. During 1999,
gross initial public offering proceeds of approximately $12.0 million were
received and proceeds of $786,000 were received from the exercise of certain
stock options, which were partially offset by the repayment of capital
leases and athe note payable of approximately $900,000.were paid in full during 2001. During 2000, proceeds of
approximately $363,000 were received from the exercise of stock options, which
was partially offset by the repayment of capital leases and a note payable of
$730,000, issuance of a $500,000 loan and lock-up agreement to Mr. Charles E.
Fioretti and recording cash overdrafts of approximately $1.5 million. Under
the terms of the lock-up and repurchase agreement, Mannatech will be required
for the next 12 months, beginning March 3, 2001 to purchase $83,333.33 worth
of common stock from Mr. Charles Fioretti valued at 90% of the fair market
price, in exchange, Mr. Charles Fioretti will be prohibited from trading his
shares of Mannatech common stock through March 2, 2002, unless approved by the
Board of Directors.
Mannatech believes that its existing capital resources, including gross
cash provided by operating activities, bank borrowings and suspension of
dividend payments to shareholders, should be adequate to fund its operations
for at least the next 12 months. Mannatech has no present commitments or
agreements with respect to any acquisitions or purchases of manufacturing
facilities or new technologies. Future changes could occur that would consume
available capital resources faster than anticipated. Mannatech's capital
requirements depend on numerous factors, including:
. the introduction of new products;
. changes in the number of associates and the retention rate of the
associate base; and
. research and development efforts.
If existing capital resources are insufficient to meet Mannatech's capital
requirements for 2001, Mannatech
would beentered into various financing agreements to finance insurance premiums totaling
$0.8 million. The notes required to raise additional funds,
which it cannot assure will be available on favorable terms, ifa 25% down payment, accrue interest at all.9.15%
and are due in eight monthly payments through July 2002.
Impact of Inflation
Mannatech believes that inflation historically has not had a material
impact on its operations or profitability. Mannatech expanded into Australia in
1998, into the United Kingdom in 1999 and into Japan in 2000. Revenues and
expenses in foreign markets are currently translated using historical and
weighted-average currency exchange rates; therefore a weakening United States
dollar would have a positive impact whereas a strengthening United States
dollar would have a negative impact on translations of currency from its
foreign operations.
Recent Financial Accounting Standards Board Statements
30
In June 1998,July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements
of Financial Accounting StandardStandards No. 133, "Accounting141 ("SFAS 141") "Business Combinations"
and No. 142 ("SFAS 142") "Goodwill and Other Intangibles Assets." SFAS 141
supercedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 16 "Business Combinations."
The most significant changes made by SFAS 141 are that it requires that the
purchase method of accounting be used for Derivative, Instrumentsall business combinations initiated
after June 30, 2001, establishes specific criteria for recognition of certain
intangible assets separately from goodwill and Hedging Activities" ("FAS 133"). This statement establishes accountingrequires the immediate write-off
of unallocated negative goodwill.
SFAS 142 supercedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 17 "Intangible
Assets." SFAS 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2001. SFAS 142 prohibits goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets from
being amortized and requires them to be annually tested for impairment at each
reporting standardsunit level. In addition, SFAS 142 removes the limitation of forty
years for hedging activites and derivative financial instruments,
including certain derivative financial instruments embedded in other contracts.the useful lives of finite intangible assets.
In June 1999,2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements
of Financial Accounting StandardStandards No. 137, which defers143 ("SFAS 143") "Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations" and in October 2001, issued No. 144 ("SFAS 144")
"Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS 143
amends SFAS 19, "Financial Accounting and Reporting by Oil and Gas Producing
Companies" and is effective date of FAS No. 133 tofor fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000.2002.
This statement requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset
retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a
reasonable estimate of fair value can be determined. In June 2000,addition, SFAS 143
requires the Financial
Accounting Standards Board issued Financial Accounting Standardassociated asset retirement costs to be capitalized as part of the
carrying amount of the long-lived asset.
SFAS 144 supercedes SFAS No. 138,121 "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instrumentsthe Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and Certain Hedging Activities,for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of" and Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 30 "Reporting Results of Operations-Reporting the
Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business." which addressed certain issues causing implementation difficulties.SFAS 144 is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. SFAS 144 requires that impaired
long-lived assets be measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value
less costs to sell. In addition, discontinued operations should no longer be
measured at net realizable value or include amounts for operating losses that
have not yet occurred. Finally, SFAS 144 broadens the reporting of discontinued
operations to include all components of an entity with operations that can be
distinguished from the rest of the entity and that will be eliminated from the
on-going operations of the entity in a disposal transaction.
Mannatech has adopted FAS 133 andbelieves the corresponding amendmentsabove pronouncements will have no significant
effect on January 1, 2001. The
adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material impact on
Mannatech'sits consolidated financial position,positions, results of operationoperations or cash
flows.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Mannatech does not engage in trading market-risk-sensitivemarket risk sensitive instruments and
does not purchase as investments as hedges or for purposes "other than trading,"trading"
instruments, that are likely to expose it to certain types of market risk,
including interest rate, commodity price or equity price risk. Although
Mannatech does havehas investments, but there has not been noany material change in its
exposure to interest rate risk on its investments.risk. Mannatech has not issued any debt instruments,
entered into any forward or futures contracts, purchased any options or entered
into any swaps.
Mannatech is exposed to certain other market risks, including changes in
currency exchange rates as measured against the United States dollar. The value
of the United States dollar may affect Mannatech's financial results. Changes
in exchange rates may positively or negatively affect its financial results, as
expressed in United States dollars. When the United States dollar increases
against currencies in which products are sold or a weakening exchange rate
against currencies in which Mannatech incurs costs, net sales or costs may be
adversely affected.
Mannatech has established policies, procedures and internal processes,
governing the management of itswhich it believes will help monitor any significant market risk and therisks. Currently,
Mannatech does not use of any financial instruments to manage its exposure to such
risks. The sensitivity of earnings and cash flows to variability in currency
exchange raterates is assessed by applying an appropriate range of potential rate
fluctuations to Mannatech's assets, obligations and projected transactions
denominated in foreign currency. Based uponMannatech cannot predict with any certainty
its overall currency rate exposure at December 31, 2000, Mannatech
does not believe that itsfuture exposure to such currency exchange rate fluctuations willor the impact,
if any, such fluctuations may have a
material impact on theits future business, product pricing,
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. TheHowever,
Mannatech believes it closely monitors current fluctuations for exposure to
such market risk. Currently, the foreign currencies in which Mannatech has
exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk include Canada, Australia, the
United Kingdom and Japan. The high and low currency exchange rates to the
United States dollar, for each of these countries, for the year ended December
31, 2000 were2001 are as follows:
Country/Currency High Low
---------------- -------- ------------ ----
Canada/Dollar . ......................... $0.67140 $0.62270
Australia/Dollar.................... $0.66850 $0.50730Dollar . ...................... $0.57270 $0.47730
United Kingdom/British Pound........ $1.65690 $1.39450Pound . .......... $1.51090 $1.36770
Japan/Yen........................... $0.00987 $0.00870Yen ............................... $0.00881 $0.00757
Given the uncertainty of the exchange rate fluctuation against the United
States dollar, Mannatech cannot determine the dollar effect, if any, of the
fluctuation on future business, product pricing, results of operations or
financial condition. All statements other than historical information
incorporated in this Item 7A are forward-looking statements. The actual impact
of future market changes may differ materially due to, among other things,
factors discussed in this report.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Mannatech, Incorporated
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the
related consolidated statements of operations, of changes in shareholders'
equity and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of Mannatech, Incorporated and its subsidiaries at December
31, 1999 and 2000, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000, in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management;
our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which
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, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
As discussed in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements,
the Company changed its method of accounting for revenue recognition as a
result of the adoption of Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue
Recognition in Financial Statements."

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Mannatech, Incorporated (the "Company") was incorporated in the State of
Texas on November 4, 1993 as Emprise International, Inc. Effective October 25,
1995, the Company changed its name to Mannatech, Incorporated. The Company,
located in Coppell, Texas, develops and sells proprietary nutritional
supplements and topical products through a network marketing system in the
United States, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom and Japan. Independent
associates ("Associates") purchase products at wholesale prices for the primary
purpose of selling to retail consumers or for personal consumption. In
addition, Associates earn commissions on their downline growth and sales
volume. The Company has eight wholly owned subsidiaries located throughout the
world. The wholly owned subsidiaries are as follows:

Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
In preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles, management is required to make certain
estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results
may differ from such estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities
of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable
At December 31, 2000, accounts receivable consist of the overpayment of
consumption tax paid in Japan, a refund of value added tax from the United
Kingdom and payments due from vendors for the purchase of raw material
inventories offset by an allowance account for amounts that are deemed
uncollectible.
F-7
MANNATECH, INCORPORATED
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
At December 31, 1999, accounts receivable consist of the overpayment of a
1998 sales tax assessment, a refund of value added tax from the United Kingdom
and payments due from vendors for the purchase of raw material inventories
offset by an allowance account for amounts that are deemed uncollectible.
Inventories
Inventories consist of raw materials and finished goods and are stated at
the lower of cost (using standard costs, which approximates average costs) or
market.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation
computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of each
asset. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as
incurred. The cost of property and equipment sold or otherwise retired and the
related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any
resulting gain or loss is included in the accompanying consolidated statements
of operations.
Property and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever an event or
change in circumstances indicates the carrying amount of an asset or group of
assets may not be recoverable. The impairment review includes a comparison of
future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or group of assets with
its associated carrying value. If the carrying value of the asset or group of
assets exceeds expected cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges),
an impairment loss is recognized to the extent the carrying amount of the asset
exceeds its fair value. During 2000, the Company recorded an impairment loss of
$870,000 on fixed asset software.
Other Assets
Other assets consist primarily of deposits for building leases and a
restricted term deposit in an Australian bank, of approximately $99,000 at
December 31, 1999 and $84,000 at December 31, 2000. This term deposit matures
every six months and is automatically renewed by the Company as security for
the Australian building lease.
Accounts Payable
The Company records book overdrafts in its cash accounts as accounts
payable. Accounts payable includes book overdrafts of $1,450,623 at December
31, 2000.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability approach
for financial accounting and reporting. In the event that differences between
the financial reporting bases and the tax bases of the Company's assets and
liabilities result in net deferred tax assets, the Company evaluates the
probability of realizing the future benefits indicated by such assets. A
valuation allowance is provided for a portion or all of the net deferred tax
assets when it is more likely than not that such portion, or all of such
deferred tax assets, will not be realized.
F-8
MANNATECH, INCORPORATED
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
Revenue Recognition
The Company's revenues consist of sales from products sold, starter and
renewal packs sold and shipping fees charged. Substantially all product sales
are made to Associates at a published wholesale price. Net sales also reflect
product returns and any related refunds. The Company also records a reserve for
product returns based on historical experience.
The Company adopted Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 "Revenue Recognition
in Financial Statements" ("SAB 101") in the fourth quarter of 2000. Under SAB
101, the Company recognizes revenue for product sales upon the receipt of the
products by the Associates. As a result of adopting SAB 101, the Company
recorded a charge of $210,000, net of tax of $126,000 for the cumulative effect
of this change at January 1, 2000. Beginning in 2000, the Company deferred all
revenues until the Associate receives the shipment. The change in accounting
method would not have a material effect on the Statements of Operations in 1999
and 1998 if adopted in those periods.
The Company also defers revenue received from the sale of the starter and
renewal packs, which is in excess of the average wholesale value of the
individual items included in such packs. Such deferrals are amortized over a
twelve-month period. Revenues from the packs are allocated between products and
event admission, based on the proportionate average fair value of these items.
Allocated event revenues contained in pack sales are amortized over a twelve-
month period. As of January 1, 2001, the Company discontinued the inclusion of
the event admission in the starter and renewal packs. Total net deferred
revenue was $845,000 and $691,000 at December 31, 1999 and 2000, respectively.
Shipping and Handling Cost
In accordance with the Emerging Issues Task Force No. 00-10 "Accounting for
Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs", the Company records freight and shipping
revenues, collected from the Associate, as revenue. The Company records in-
bound freight and shipping costs as a part of cost of sales and the Company
records shipping and handling costs associated with shipping products to its
Associates as selling and administrative expenses in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements. Total shipping and handling costs included
in selling and administrative expense was approximately $8.2 million, $9.1
million and $6.6 million for 1998, 1999 and 2000, respectively.
Accounting for Stock-based Compensation
The Company uses Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 ("FAS
123"), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," for stock-based compensation
issued to nonemployees. FAS 123 require that stock-based compensation be
measured by the fair value at the date of grant. The Company measures the cost
of stock-based compensation issued to employees and directors under Accounting
Principles Board Opinion 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB
25"), and its related interpretations. The Company has provided pro forma
disclosures, as required by FAS 123, in Note 12 for stock-based compensation
accounted for under APB 25.
Advertising Costs
Advertising and promotional expenses are included in selling and
administrative expenses and are charged to operations when incurred.
Advertising and promotional expenses were approximately $3.8 million, $3.6
million and $5.3 million for 1998, 1999 and 2000, respectively. Literature and
promotional items, called sales aids, are sold to Associates to support their
sales efforts and are primarily included in inventories and charged to cost of
sales when sold.
F-9
MANNATECH, INCORPORATED
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
Research and Development Costs
The Company expenses research and development costs when incurred. Research
and development costs related to specific clinical studies, quality assurance
programs and new product development were approximately $391,000, $439,000 and
$392,000 in 1998, 1999 and 2000, respectively. Research and development costs
related to conceptualizing new products, enhancing existing products, Food and
Drug Administration compliance studies, general supplies, internal salaries and
consulting fees were approximately $3.4 million, $3.6 million and $4.4 million
in 1998, 1999 and 2000, respectively. Salaries are included in selling and
administrative expenses and all other research and development costs are
included in other operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements.
Software Development Costs
The Company capitalizes qualifying costs related to the development of
internal use software pursuant to Statement Of Position No. 98-1, "Accounting
for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use"
("SOP 98-1"). SOP 98-1 requires capitalization of qualifying costs after the
conceptual formulation stage has been completed. Such costs are amortized over
the estimated useful life of the software, which is five years. Capitalized
costs were approximately $929,000, $1.7 million and $681,000 in 1998, 1999 and
2000, respectively. Amortization expense related to capitalized software was
approximately $346,000, $528,000 and $712,000 in 1998, 1999 and 2000,
respectively.
Earnings (Loss) per Share
The Company calculates earnings (loss) per share pursuant to Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share" ("FAS 128"). FAS
128 requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share
("EPS") on the face of the consolidated statement of operations for all
entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the
numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and
denominator of the diluted EPS computation. Basic EPS calculations are based on
the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period,
while diluted EPS calculations are calculated using the weighted-average number
of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during each
period.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash, cash equivalents,
investments and receivables from related parties. The Company utilizes
financial institutions that the Company considers to be of high credit quality.
The Company believes its notes receivables from shareholders are fully
collectible.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company's financial instruments, including cash and
cash equivalents, notes receivable, notes payable, capital leases and accrued
expenses, approximate their recorded values due to their relatively short
maturities.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Australian and the United Kingdom subsidiaries' are limited service
providers and their functional currency is the United States dollar.
Nonmonetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical rates, monetary
assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates in effect at the end of

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (loss)
The Japan subsidiary conducts substantially all of its business in Japanese
Yen; therefore, the Company considers the Japanese Yen as it's functional
currency. Its subsidiary's assets and liabilities are translated into United
States dollars at exchange rates existing at the balance sheet dates, revenues
and expenses are translated at weighted-average exchange rates, and
shareholders' equity and intercompany accounts are translated at historical
exchange rates. The foreign currency translation adjustment is recorded as a
separate component of shareholders' equity and is included as accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss) as required under Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income." Comprehensive income (loss)
is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period
from transactions and other events and circumstances from nonowner sources and
includes all changes in equity during a period.

Effective September 1, 1998, the Company entered into various employment
agreements with five of its executives. The employment agreements are for five
years with a specified minimum salary and are extended automatically each year
for one additional year unless both parties agree to termination prior to the
end of any term. On November 1, 1999, the Company entered into an employment
agreement with another one of its executives. This agreement expires in
October 2002. Either party can cancel the agreements; however, if canceled by
the Company, without cause, the Company is required to pay the minimum salary
for the life of the agreement. In 2000, one of the five-year employment
agreements, dated September 1, 1998, was canceled and replaced with a new
three-year employment contract for his change in duties. In 2000, an
employment agreement was entered into which expires on March 31, 2003. Either
party can cancel this agreement; however, if canceled without cause, by the
Company, the Company is required to pay the minimum salary for the life of the
agreement.
The Company had a commitment with a supplier to purchase raw materials
through August 2000. On January 12, 2000, the Company extended this commitment
for an additional two years. In February 2001, the

Company modified the agreement to reduce the purchase commitment. The purchase
commitment with this supplier is approximately $5.0 million, for both 2001 and
2002, respectively.
The Company utilizes royalty agreements with individuals or entities to
provide compensation for items such as reprints of articles or speeches
relating to the Company, sales of promotional videos featuring sports
personalities and promotional efforts in product sales or attracting new
Associates. From 1997 until August 1998, the Company paid a monthly fee of
$20,000 to a research foundation for promoting and conducting health studies
of Associates. The total expenses for all of these agreements were
approximately $933,000, $416,000 and $459,000 in 1998, 1999 and 2000,
respectively.
In October 1999, the Company entered into an agreement with a high level
Associate, shareholder and advisory board member whereby the Associate would
promote the Company and develop downline growth in Japan. Under the terms of
the agreement, the Company agreed to pay the Associate $50,000 a month plus
all expenses for two years. The Associate can also earn additional
commissions, up to $1.6 million, for the development and sale of training
materials and sales aids. During 1999, the Company accrued $206,000 of which
$106,000 remained unpaid at December 31, 1999. During 2000, the Company
accrued $850,000 of which $50,000 remained unpaid at December 31, 2000.

reduce the number of authorized shares of common stock from 100.0 million to
99.0 million. Additionally, the Company has authorized 1.0 million shares of
preferred stock with a par value of $0.01 per share. No shares of preferred
stock have been issued or are outstanding.

NOTE 15 LITIGATION
On May 30, 2000, the Company filed suit for breach of contract in the
United States District Court of the Northern District of Texas, Dallas
Division, against Gryphon Advisors II, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability
company. The Company alleged amounts billed for out-of-pocket expenses and
advisory service fees totaling $1.6 million were unreasonable and that Gryphon
Advisors breached the advisory agreement. Under the advisory agreement,
Gryphon was to provide advice on potential financing opportunities,
acquisitions, the financial management of the Company, all aspects of its
capital structure, capital-raising transactions and to assist the Company in
evaluating potential acquisition targets. On June 26, 2000, Gryphon Advisors
filed a cross-action suit for breach of contract and fraud seeking the payment
of $1.6 million and exemplary damages. On March 1, 2001, the Company and
Gryphon Advisors agreed to dismiss its respective claims with prejudice and
the Company agreed to pay Gryphon Advisors $650,000 over a 12-month period.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Mannatech, Incorporated
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the
related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders' equity
and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of Mannatech, Incorporated and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2000 and 2001,
and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 2001, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which
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, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Mannatech, Incorporated (the "Company") was incorporated in the State of
Texas on November 4, 1993 as Emprise International, Inc. Effective October 25,
1995, the Company changed its name to Mannatech, Incorporated. The Company
develops high-quality, innovative, proprietary nutritional supplements, topical
products and weight-management products that are sold though a global
network-marketing system throughout the United States, Canada, Australia, the
United Kingdom and Japan. Independent associates ("associates") purchase the
Company's products at wholesale prices for the primary purpose of selling to
retail consumers or for personal consumption while independent members
("members") purchase products at a discount from retail prices. Associates are
eligible to earn commissions on their downline growth and sales volume. The
Company has eight wholly owned subsidiaries located throughout the world. The
wholly owned subsidiaries are as follows:
Wholly-owned subsidiary name Date incorporated Location of subsidiary Date operations began

Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
In preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make
certain estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual
results may differ from such estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original
maturities of three-months or less to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable
At December 31, 2000 and 2001, accounts receivable consisted of the
overpayment of consumption tax paid in Japan, a refund of value added tax from
the United Kingdom and payments due from manufacturers for the purchase of raw
material inventories. At December 31, 2000, accounts receivable were partially
offset by an allowance account for amounts that were deemed uncollectible.
Inventories
Inventories consist of raw materials and finished goods and are stated at
the lower of cost (using standard costs, which approximates average costs) or
market. The Company writes-down inventories for any slow-moving or obsolete
items.
F-7
MANNATECH, INCORPORATED
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued)
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation
computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of each
asset. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as
incurred. The cost of property and equipment sold or otherwise retired and the
related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any
resulting gain or loss is included in the accompanying consolidated statements
of operations.
Property and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever an event or
change in circumstances indicates the carrying amount of an asset or group of
assets may not be recoverable. The impairment review includes a comparison of
future projected cash flows generated by the asset or group of assets with its
associated carrying value. If the carrying value of the asset or group of
assets exceeds expected cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges),
an impairment loss is recognized to the extent the carrying amount of the asset
exceeds its fair value. During 2000, the Company recorded an impairment loss of
$870,000 related to its Internet subsidiary's fixed asset software.
Other Assets
Other assets consist primarily of deposits for building leases and a
restricted term deposit in an Australian bank. This term deposit matures every
six-months and is automatically renewed by the Company as security for the
Australian building lease.
Accounts Payable
The Company records book overdrafts in its cash accounts as accounts
payable. Accounts payable includes book overdrafts of $1,450,623 at December
31, 2000.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability
approach for financial accounting and reporting. In the event that differences
between the financial reporting bases and the tax bases of the Company's assets
and liabilities result in net deferred tax assets, the Company evaluates the
probability of realizing the future benefits indicated by such assets. A
valuation allowance is provided for a portion or all of the net deferred tax
assets when it is more likely than not that such portion, or all of such
deferred tax assets, will not be realized.
Revenue Recognition
The Company's revenues consist of sales from products sold, starter and
renewal packs sold and shipping fees charged. Substantially all product sales
are sold to associates at a published wholesale price and are sold to members
at a discount. The Company also records a product return reserve related to any
refunds in net sales. The Company records the product return reserve based on
historical experience in net sales.
The Company adopted Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 "Revenue Recognition
in Financial Statements" ("SAB 101") in the fourth quarter of 2000. Under SAB
101, the Company recognizes revenue for product sales upon the receipt of the
products by the associate or member. As a result of adopting SAB 101, the
Company recorded a charge of $210,000, net of tax of $126,000 for the
cumulative effect of this change at January 1, 2000. Beginning in 2000, the
Company defers all revenues until the associate or member receives the
shipment. The Company believes that the change in accounting method would not
have had a material effect on the 1999 Statements of Operations if adopted in
that period.
The Company also defers a portion of the revenue received from the sale of
the starter and renewal packs when the revenue exceeds the excess of the total
average wholesale value of all of the individual items included in such packs
and amortizes such deferrals over a twelve-month period. Some of the higher
dollar packs also contain an event admission pass, which allows an associate
free admission to a corporate sponsored event. Revenues from these packs are
allocated between products and event admission based on the proportionate
average fair value of products and the allocated event admission. The allocated
event admission revenue contained in these pack sales are also amortized over a
twelve-month period.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued)
Shipping and Handling Cost
The Company records freight and shipping revenues collected from
associates and members as revenue. The Company records in-bound freight and
shipping costs as a part of cost of sales and records shipping and handling
costs associated with shipping products to its associates and members as
selling and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements. Total shipping and handling costs included in selling and
administrative expense was approximately $9.1 million, $6.6 million and $5.8
million for 1999, 2000 and 2001, respectively.
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
The Company uses Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 ("FAS
123"), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," for stock-based compensation
issued to nonemployees. FAS 123 requires that stock-based compensation be
measured by the fair value at the date of grant. The Company measures the cost
of stock-based compensation issued to employees and directors under Accounting
Principles Board Opinion 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB
25"), and its related interpretations. The Company has provided pro forma
disclosures as required by FAS 123 in Note 11 for stock-based compensation
accounted for under APB 25.
Advertising Costs
Advertising and promotional expenses are included in selling and
administrative expenses and are charged to operations when incurred.
Advertising and promotional expenses were approximately $3.6 million, $5.3
million and $3.4 million for 1999, 2000 and 2001, respectively. Literature and
promotional items, called sales aids, are sold to associates to support their
sales efforts and are included in inventories and charged to cost of sales when
sold.
Research and Development Costs
The Company expenses research and development costs when incurred.
Internal research and development costs related to specific clinical studies
and product testing were approximately $439,000, $392,000 and $97,000 in 1999,
2000 and 2001, respectively. Research and development costs related to
conceptualizing new products, enhancing existing products, Food and Drug
Administration compliance studies, general supplies, internal salaries, third
party contractors and consulting fees were approximately $3.6 million, $4.4
million and $3.4 million in 1999, 2000 and 2001, respectively. Salaries are
included in selling and administrative expenses and all other research and
development costs are included in other operating expenses in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements.
Software Development Costs
The Company capitalizes qualifying costs related to the development of
internal use software pursuant to Statement Of Position No. 98-1, "Accounting
for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use"
("SOP 98-1"). SOP 98-1 requires capitalization of qualifying costs after the
conceptual formulation stage has been completed. Such costs are amortized over
the estimated useful life of the software, which are three to five years.
Capitalized costs were approximately $1.7 million, $681,000 and $677,000 in
1999, 2000 and 2001, respectively. Amortization expense related to capitalized
software was approximately $528,000, $712,000 and $873,000 in 1999, 2000 and
2001, respectively.
Earnings (Loss) per Share
The Company calculates earnings (loss) per share pursuant to Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share" ("FAS 128"). FAS
128 requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share
("EPS") on the face of the consolidated statement of operations for all
entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the
numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and
denominator of the diluted EPS computation. Basic EPS calculations are based on
the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period,
while diluted EPS calculations are calculated using the weighted-average number
of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during each
period.

Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash, cash equivalents,
investments and receivables from related parties. The Company utilizes
financial institutions that the Company considers to be of high credit quality.
The Company believes its notes receivables from shareholders are fully
collectible.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company's financial instruments, including cash and
cash equivalents, notes receivable, notes payable, capital leases and accrued
expenses, approximate their recorded values due to their relatively short
maturities.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Australian and the United Kingdom subsidiaries' are limited service
providers and their functional currency is the United States dollar.
Nonmonetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical rates, monetary
assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates in effect at the end of
the year, and revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates
for the year. Translation (gains) and losses of Mannatech's foreign
subsidiaries totaled approximately ($176,000), $345,000 and $86,000 in 1999,
2000 and 2001 respectively, and are included in other expense in the
consolidated statements of operations.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The Japan subsidiary conducts substantially all of its business in
Japanese Yen; therefore, the Company considers the Japanese Yen as its
functional currency. Its Japan subsidiary's assets and liabilities are
translated into United States dollars at exchange rates existing at the balance
sheet dates, revenues and expenses are translated at weighted-average exchange
rates, and shareholders' equity and intercompany accounts are translated at
historical exchange rates. The foreign currency translation adjustment is
recorded as a separate component of shareholders' equity and is included as
accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as required under Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income."
Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity of a business
enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances
from nonowner sources and includes all changes in equity during a period except
those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners.
Commissions
Associates are paid commissions that are based on direct and indirect
commissionable sales, downline growth and training of associates. Commissions
are accrued when earned and generally paid at various times within the
following month.
Reclassification
Certain amounts reported in the prior year balances have been reclassified
to conform with the current year presentation.

NOTE 10 CANCELLATION OF INCENTIVE COMPENSATION AGREEMENTS
In April 1994, the Company entered into an incentive compensation agreement
with Mr. Ray Robbins, an associate, shareholder, board member and co-founder of

grandfather two of his associate positions to the highest level. Of this amount,
$500,000 was paid at the time the agreement was canceled. The remaining $250,000
was payable in monthly installments of $10,000 over two years. The $750,000
charge is included in other operating expenses in the 1999 consolidated

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued)
The fair value of each option granted was estimated on the date of grant
using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following
weighted-average assumptions during 1999, 2000 and 2001:
1999 2000 2001
--------- --------- ---------
Dividend yield ................... 0% 0% 0%
Expected volatility .............. 47.7% 68.0% 94.0%
Risk-free rate of return ......... 6.3% 5.8% 4.8%
Expected life (in years) ......... 6 7 7
Under the various Stock Option Plans, nonqualified stock options granted
to nonemployees are valued using the fair value method, are nontransferable and
are granted for terms no longer than six years and at a price which may not be
less than 100% of the fair value of the common stock on the date of grant.
During 1997, the Company issued 356,000 nonqualified stock options to
nonemployees at an exercise price of $1.35 per share. Additionally, the Company
issued 100,000 nonqualified stock options in July 1997 at an exercise price of
$2.00 per share, which vest immediately, are exercisable after one-year and
have a term of six years. During 2000 and 2001, 230,000 and 14,000 of these
nonqualified options were exercised at an exercise price of $1.35 per share,
respectively.
During 2001, the Company reissued 213,333 warrants and 223,333 stock
options to former executives as part of the severance agreements with these
individuals. The stock options and warrants are exercisable immediately at
prices ranging from $1.75 up to $4.00 per share and have a term of ten years.
Some of the stock options and warrants require variable accounting and the
Company is required to record a compensation charge equal to the difference
between the fair market price and the exercise price of these options each
quarter. In 2001, the Company recorded compensation related to these stock
options totaling $53,680.

On May 30, 2000, the Company filed suit for breach of contract in the
United States District Court of the Northern District of Texas, Dallas
Division, against Gryphon Advisors II, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability
company. The Company alleged amounts billed for out-of-pocket expenses and
advisory service fees totaling $1.6 million were unreasonable and that Gryphon
Advisors breached the advisory agreement. Under the advisory agreement, Gryphon
was to provide advice on potential financing opportunities, acquisitions, the
financial management of the Company, all aspects of its capital structure,
capital-raising transactions and to assist the Company in evaluating potential
acquisition targets. On June 26, 2000, Gryphon Advisors filed a cross-action

exemplary damages. On March 1, 2001, the Company and Gryphon Advisors agreed to
dismiss its respective claims with prejudice and the Company agreed to pay
Gryphon Advisors $650,000 over a twelve-month period, which was accrued in
2000.
The Company has several other pending claims incurred in the normal course
of business which, in the opinion of management, can be resolved without
material affect on the Company's consolidated results of operations or
consolidated financial condition.
